Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 210 Reasons for revealing identity

"Let's go, let's go see other places."

Watching the figures of those teenagers disappear completely at the end of the street, Alina slightly raised the corners of her lips and suggested to the two students beside her.

"Senior, isn't it a bit too much for you to do this..."

Seeing that the seniors around him were planning to leave as if nothing had happened, Avis stood up and made a suggestion with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm just stating the facts."

With a gentle tone but an indistinguishable glance at the young man beside her, Alina still answered very matter-of-factly.

"This is indeed a fact..." Without directly denying it, Ives forced a smile on his face and continued to express his opinion, "But don't you think that such a fact is a bit too heavy for those who want to discuss magic properly? Yet?"

“That student said before that ‘magic level can also measure a magician’s knowledge level’, so it’s not too much for me to take the initiative to explain my magic level, right?”

"No, no, I have no doubts, so let's go somewhere else quickly."

Knowing that the other party was warning him with the absolute truth, Avis naturally did not dare to say another word and quickly forced a smile to change the subject.

On the other hand, Natalie, who saw all the interaction between the two, wanted to say something, but she finally gave up the idea because she couldn't find the right words.

After this little episode, the three of them didn't encounter anything particularly new. They just walked around the area and watched some magicians' discussions before returning to the hotel.

……

Dong dong dong,
  In the dead of night, there was a deliberately soft knock on the door in the room belonging to Alina and Natalie.

"Which one?"

Being disturbed by a knock on the door for the second time tonight, Alina glanced in the direction of the door with some dissatisfaction, and then used the [sound transmission] magic to bring her inquiry to the door.

"It's me, senior," Ives replied, "Do you have time now? I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Okay, just wait a moment."

Hearing that the voice outside the door belonged to Ives, Alina was visibly relieved and agreed calmly.

"Okay, if you have any questions, just ask here. Natalie has already gone to bed. If possible, we'd better not disturb her rest."

Half a minute later, the door to the room was opened. Before the young man could ask, Alina, who had already put on a coat, started the conversation.

"Excuse me, did you find anything tonight from those students?"

Avis thought for a while and asked directly.

"No, after all, I haven't even said a few words. How could I possibly discover something from such little information?"

Seeing the young man's serious inquiry, Alina couldn't help but laugh, and then answered frankly without fear of disappointing the other person.

"Then you..."

"I hope I can be more kind in their eyes. Is this reason enough?"

Alina gave the young man a meaningful look that could only be understood but not explained. She did not directly state the answer, but she believed that if it were the young man in front of her, he would definitely understand the meaning of her words.

"That's enough..." Ives nodded lightly, and with the same tacit understanding, he didn't point out that the other party was trying to prank the male student because he changed his name that night. He changed the topic and said, "Then you accompanied Miss Natalie before. Did anything happen while wearing the magic robe?"

Faced with the young man who listed the meeting time without hesitation, Alina was secretly surprised for a moment, but on the surface she answered very calmly: "It's not a big deal, but you asked me, so I still say Take a moment."    "What's the matter?"

Ives asked next.

"Mr. Inzat, the wind member of the Supreme Academic Review Committee of the Southern District of Earth, sent someone to see me tonight, hoping to make an appointment with me to discuss issues related to wind magic."

Alina concealed everything about the Sky Scholars, and told the rest of the truth.

"Then you agree?"

After confirming the expression on the other person's face, Avis guessed appropriately.

"Ah."

"No matter what, you'd better be careful."

Unable to understand why the committee member arranged the meeting in advance, Ives cautiously did not ask further details, leaving a simple sentence and intending to end tonight's information exchange.

Of course, Ives actually still had an unanswered question in his mind, and that was about the true identity of the guide who would take them to the exhibition tomorrow.

However, he also knew that after the same topic was changed twice, it meant that the speaker did not want to disclose it, so he gave up the idea completely, said goodbye and greetings to his senior, and returned to his room.

……

At the same time, somewhere on the outskirts of Nome City...

"Have you confirmed it? Is the information those students said true?"

In an inconspicuous double-story building, a man in his thirties whose appearance was almost hidden by a hooded robe looked at the man in formal clothes standing quietly behind him and asked in a deep voice.

"It's absolutely true," the waiter nodded hurriedly and responded respectfully. Seeing that the master had not yet looked back, he thought for a moment and quickly added, "There are spies among those students who I secretly inserted. He told me personally, Lady Wind of the Suzuran once appeared in front of them with her students and Water Begonia at night and took the initiative to expose her magic attributes and magic level."

"and then?"

Squinting his eyes slightly, the thirty-year-old man sitting in a comfortable chair continued to ask with great interest.

"Then the students were frightened and fled the scene in unison."

The waiter recalled the report submitted by the student and tried to reconstruct the scene at that time.

"I know all this, can you tell me something I don't know?"

Glancing indifferently at the waiter behind him, the man in his thirties quickly looked away and answered with a half warning and half reminder.

"Okay, let me think about it."

Being caught off guard by his boss, the waiter couldn't help but be alert. He quickly straightened his posture and further said that the three of them seemed to be walking from the block on the right, and all three of them were wearing Nanzhuang. Details that are easily overlooked, such as the special magic robe customized by the workshop.

"Then let me change the question. As a good wind magician, why do you think the Wind of the Suzuran would be so unscrupulous in exposing herself to people?"

After listening to the waiter's description, the man in his thirties nodded lightly with satisfaction, and then asked casually, seemingly casually: "Or, in your opinion, do you think Lady Suzuran took the initiative to reveal her identity and magic level? Did you do the right thing?"
