Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 283 The unwilling past
  here it is…?
  Natalie looked around cautiously, but no matter how she looked or searched, she seemed to be the only one in this huge library.

"Lily!"

Instead of calling Conrad's name, Natalie continued to check her surroundings while trying to call her friend's name.

However, the sound cut through the silent air and returned to Natalie's ears.

how so…

Natalie murmured in disbelief, then pursed her lips tightly as if she had made up her mind, closed her eyes, and began to recall past experiences.

Finally, during this short period of sifting through memory fragments, Natalie finally selected the [Wind Blade] magic among the few magics she had mastered.

So, after calming down her emotions, Natalie quickly took two steps back and began to condense the magic elements.

Bang~
  As her trajectory ended, the room suddenly started playing back, one after another, like a clear sound of piano keys playing on their own.

what happened?

Natalie was confused for a while, and couldn't help but uttered surprise again.

However, before she could be surprised for a long time, she should not have been able to see a long, slim table with a retro style and black body suddenly appeared in front of the door.

"Eh?"

Natalie was surprised again. Curious and wary, she walked towards the desk.

it should be no problem?

Before officially deciding to read the text above, Natalie encouraged herself secretly. At the same time, she did not forget to control her emotions. She walked to the long table and picked up a stack of papers and read them one by one:
  April 4nd, great. After a week of improvement and experimentation, I finally adapted the petrification magic. Let’s call it the gift of earth. Now no one will laugh at me for being unrealistic. I have Can't wait to see their regretful and annoyed expressions.

April 4th, damn those ignorant guys, it’s obvious that the soil I adapted is more conducive to plants absorbing nutrients in the soil, why don’t they recognize my creation? It’s obvious that my results are enough to help plants absorb nutrients from the soil. I want more people to escape poverty, but why do they still deny my results!
  On April 4, after this period of thinking, I decided that no matter what they think of me, I will definitely insist on creating new magic! What are you experimenting with today? Let’s experiment to see if earth magic can be adapted into magic similar to [Breath of Wind]. When I adapt it, I must personally demonstrate it in front of those stubborn old antiques!
  ……

Seeing this, Natalie roughly understood what these seemingly yellowed and old papers were. They were Mr. Conrad's diary.

It’s really hard to believe that Mr. Conard could write a diary and still keep it to this day... Natalie’s thoughts kept diverging, but no matter how she imagined it, she couldn’t imagine the other person sitting there. Writing a diary carefully at the table...

No, what am I thinking? I should know more about Conard through the diary earlier, so as to find a way out!
  Thinking like this, Natalie immediately cast a [Breath of Wind] magic on herself, forcing herself to concentrate under this soft magical breath and continue to flip through the paper in her hand.

Next one, October 10th…

Where did the diary go? It was lost or disrupted.

Natalie silently repeated the date recorded on the top of the paper in her mind. She was full of confusion, so she flipped through several more sheets in succession, but until she finished flipping through all the papers in her hand, she could not find any date before October 10th. 's diary.

It must have been lost, right?
  After whispering some conclusions in her mind, Natalie had no choice but to turn back the diary back to October 10th with some frustration and continue reading.

On October 10th, great, the institute finally approved my research and decided to apply the Gift of Soil that I adapted half a year ago to actual crop cultivation. In this way, will I become the first junior magician to have this kind of treatment in the past hundred years? Let’s see. I’ll see if there is anyone else at my age whose research results can achieve such high recognition. Treatment, Savile Perry, discovered at the age of 14 that plants and animals also have magical elemental affinities...

Huh, it’s only one year ahead of me, and it’s something that can be observed with your eyes. What’s so great about it!
  Not paying attention to Conrad's childish and angry words in the past, Natalie's attention was attracted by the sentence "Animals and plants also have an affinity for magical elements" that only took up one sentence in the diary. This was something she had never heard of before. Not only had she never heard of it from her teacher, but she had never noticed it when she came into contact with those animals and plants.

How about asking Teacher Alina? Now, let’s read the diary carefully!

After calming down, Natalie immediately forced herself to focus on the follow-up diary.

October 10th, wow! I actually met Lord Trish, the Sage of the Earth, and he also said that my ideas were groundbreaking and asked me if I wanted to be his student. Oh, my God, I was so speechless. Finally, someone recognized my research results, and he was such a powerful mage! Although it has nothing to do with the research results, I must record such an important thing!

On October 10th, I finally left that damn institute. My future, my magic research, starts from today on a new journey!

After reading this diary, Natalie turned to the next one, and was surprised to find that the next one was also a record that jumped a lot of time:
  September 9st, I am not in the mood to record my research today. Damn it, why can even a person who can’t speak well become the teacher’s student, just because his magic talent is outstanding? No, teacher, I will one day Prove to you that magical talent isn't everything! No, I can't continue to relax. For the sake of my future, and in order to get rid of the past experience of being looked down upon and ignored, I have to push forward some research that has been temporarily shelved.

June 6st, no, why, why did the teacher choose that idiot Blair to be his heir? There must be something wrong. Whether it is the ability to handle things or the study and understanding of magic, I have to be better than him. That fool is too powerful! No, it must be that I haven’t worked hard enough recently, and my recent research results must not be outstanding enough, so the teacher would blindly make such a wrong judgment.

I have to look for it, I have to look for it, I have to look for any research field that can quickly increase my visibility and personal reputation!
  On September 9th, that damn idiot finally left. Now, I can finally proceed with my research under the teacher’s attention!
  In addition, after several months of preparation, the special soil magic that can change the soil structure and actively seek nutrients for crops can finally be officially promoted. After the experiment in Abbot Town is over, I can make the teacher realize how hasty his previous decision to choose Blair was!
  October 10th, how ironic this is. Blair Clark is actually going to officially become the Sage Assistant today. No, I have to stop him. Before he returns to Nome City, I have to make some arrangements. I have to Make a resistance!
