Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 223 The meaning of determination

"Don't you think so?" She turned her head unhappily to avoid the former leader of the Sage Assistant who was unpredictable, often full of curiosity and mischief. She hesitated for a moment, but continued to add. , "Obviously that child looks so timid and has low self-esteem, but he had such firm and eager emotions when he expressed his determination to the Earth Sage's assistant before. Don't you find it contradictory?"

"So you use contradictory determination?"

Still looking interested, Alina neither confirmed nor denied the two rhetorical questions in the other person's words.

"Correct."

After a simple affirmation of one word, Qiaocelin did not continue to stick to two sentences to ask related questions, and planned to change the topic and chat.

"It's indeed a contradiction, so don't you think such a contradiction is interesting?"

However, at this time, Alina hit the right time and gave an unexpected response.

"Interesting, how can this kind of thing be called interesting? I really don't know what you are thinking!"

Stung by the other party's casual attitude, Qiaoceline could not suppress her displeasure and raised her voice to retort.

"Calm down, Jocelyn."

Sensing the unusual emotional reaction of the guide girl next to her, Alina immediately pulled out a card from her pocket and set up a temporary special barrier that could isolate the two people's voices.

"Give me an explanation as to why you treat her like that. Is it so fun to play with people's hearts, Suzuran?"

Ignoring the other party's persuasion, Qiaocelin still looked decisively into the eyes of the person next to her, and asked sternly, helplessly and painfully.

"If it is really the kind of teasing you are talking about, then I don't think my disguise can last so long." Seeing that the girl next to her was still a little confused, Alina added calmly, "After all, a real person A man who truly loves toying with others will not waste his curiosity and mischief on anything other than continuous play-acting.”

"So? What do you mean by interesting."

After thinking along the other side's words, Qiaocelin had no way to refute, so she had to convince herself to believe the words, and continued to ask in a slightly gentle tone.

"It's very simple, almost without any use, and interesting on the level of curiosity."

Alina spread her hands indifferently and once again unexpectedly directly confessed her true thoughts.

"almost?"

Qiaoceline doubtfully repeated the words that the other party had deliberately emphasized.

"Yes, almost. You heard it right. It's just almost."

Alina continued to respond casually. No matter the tone or tone, it was difficult for people to grasp her true thoughts.

"Then can I trust you?"

Still not trusting her, Qiaoceline asked again.

"If we don't talk about it in the future, at least for now," Alina paused deliberately, witnessing with satisfaction that the eyes of the people next to her were once again filled with wariness, and she added mischievous explanations, "At least for now. , the teachers’ attitude is very friendly.”

"world?"

Qiaoceline asked in a confirming manner worriedly.

"Correct."

With a slight nod, Alina ended the topic and removed the barrier, picked up the list again, returned to the students, and talked about her own opinions on restaurant selection.

In the evening, after returning to the hotel.

"Senior, can we have a chat?"

After three polite and restrained knocks on the door, the voice belonging to Ives reached Alina's ears through the [Breath of Wind] magic.

"Do you want to ask me what I said to Liford this afternoon?"

Without waiting for Elvis to ask further, Alina made her guess straightforwardly after opening the door.

"Yes." Seeing that his purpose of coming was clearly pointed out by the other party, Avis smiled coquettishly, and after a brief hesitation, he nodded.

"Told a little bit about Natalie."

Alina calmly spoke with a slightly modified answer.

"Is it related to Blair-senpai's matter?"

Ives then controlled the situation very restrainedly and asked tentatively.

"Correct."

Alina nodded simply.

"Then what's your plan? How to help him."

Seeing that his guess was confirmed, Avis gave up asking further questions and began to use the previous question to change the topic to another thing that he had been concerned about since the evening.

"Yes," Alina nodded, but the next second she changed the subject, "But I don't intend to help."

"Ah, why?"

Avis couldn't help but make a sound of surprise.

"Because I am a guest, a guest who is not allowed to interfere in anything."

After thinking for a moment, Alina added an additional explanation to the original short answer.

"Then senior, what should we do next?"

After nodding his head slightly in understanding, Avis still asked uneasily.

"Follow your heart."

Alina still answered very concisely.

in the heart?
  Momo silently repeated the other party's words in his mind. Avis nodded again, then bowed gratefully to the woman at the door and said, "I understand. Thank you for your advice. I will do my best to help Na." Miss Tully and Blair-senpai’s!”

After thanking him, Ives returned to his room without stopping for a moment, without any more questions or tests.

"Then let's start the next plan."

After carefully confirming that there were no so-called monitors in the surrounding environment, Alina slightly curled her lips, and immediately walked to the wardrobe in the room, took out her coat, put it on the outside of her casual dress, and finished it. Prepare for temporary outings.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, if you need a harmonious and stable environment, it is indispensable."

Just before she was about to pull out the card and start taking action, Alina thought for a moment, suddenly stopped outputting magic power, pulled out another card from the wooden card box in her bag, and counted it carefully. The number of cards.

After confirming that nothing was missing, she took out a small piece of paper from her coat pocket and unfolded it. Based on the directions on it, she activated the space teleportation magic and left the hotel where she was temporarily staying.

……

In the temporary detention center in the Southern District of the Earth, the detention room where Blair was being held suddenly lit up with a bright light that was incompatible with the surrounding dim environment.

As the light dimmed, a tall female figure with outstanding temperament immediately emerged from the too quiet guard room.

She was not complacent, nor was she impatient. After completing the infiltration work, Alina quickly gathered her thoughts, skillfully pulled out another card from her coat pocket, closed her eyes, injected magic power, and arranged a barrier in the dim environment that was enough to isolate her. A low-level magical barrier for whispered conversations.

After doing this, she stepped lightly and came to the bed in front of her that was close to the wall, and gently patted the person on the bed on the shoulder...
