Natalie's magical growth record

Respective concerns

"I finally left. Since the Cornerstones have sent representatives here, I think there is no need for me to continue to disturb you here."

Watching the back of the 'difficult' cornerstone completely disappear at the end of the street outside the window, Alina couldn't help but stretch slightly, then took off her glasses, and then silently sorted out the documents that needed to be taken away on the coffee table. Fold them and put them together into your own space storage bracelet.

Seeing the senior packing his things in an orderly manner, the corners of Ives' mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Although he had already guessed that the senior had some deep-seated intention of staying here deliberately, but when the other party truthfully explained his purpose and left immediately after the purpose was achieved, he still couldn't help but feel helpless.

Of course, he would not criticize his mentor for his behavior.

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

So, after briefly twitching the corners of his mouth and smiling helplessly, he quickly calmed down his emotions, showed a polite smile again, put away the invitation letter in his hand, and bowed solemnly to the Wind of the Suttle on the side.

"Well, notify me as soon as possible if anything happens. I will try to arrange training for your level assessment tomorrow. Before that, you can make some preparations in advance."

"no problem."

He agreed without any abnormal expression, and Avis quickly stood up, quickly followed the senior downstairs, and sent him out of the mansion.

After doing all this, he returned to the mansion, sat down on the sofa in the living room again, suppressed all the smiles on his face, opened the envelope in silence, took out the letter and read it carefully.

……

Dear Master Ives,

I'm glad you finally opened this invitation, it means you've made up your mind.

I don’t know what you think of ‘Sky Scholars’ and I don’t want to know what you think because it’s not important to me. The reason why I mentioned something about "Sky Scholar" here is to tell you that I hope you will treat me as the "difficult" cornerstone of "Sky Scholar" in the next process of getting along with me.

You can study with me and ask me questions as before, but I will use my own standards to measure whether you are qualified to get the answer.

If you are sure you would like such an opportunity, consider coming to my mansion to meet me on the afternoon of your day off next week.

The address of my mansion is...

Finally, I sincerely welcome you.

The ‘difficult cornerstone’ of ‘Sky Scholars’,
  Roy Crowder

……

The content of the letter was very brief, but such a brief letter made Ives' already mixed feelings more complicated.

Before opening the invitation, he had actually guessed the real reason why his former teacher suddenly visited him. However, when the reason was actually presented to him as he wished, he could not feel the slightest emotion after a long separation. joy……

"Master, do you need to prepare dinner now?"

Just when Ives was still feeling a little heavy, there was a restrained knocking sound in his ears, and then, the voice belonging to the butler Wesley came into his ears.

"Okay," after being reminded like this, Avis hurriedly calmed down his emotions, nodded gently, and then re-outlined his perfect smile without any abnormality, and asked his butler, "Lord Claude has left?"       Yes Yes, Master."

Without asking any further questions, Wesley immediately gave a concise answer in the manner a butler should.

"I see."

After thinking for a while, Ives finally suppressed his urge to ask more questions, nodded calmly again, then picked up the book he had not finished before and continued to read...

……

At the same moment, in a cafe in Randall,
  "I heard that Claude visited you this afternoon?"

In a secluded corner away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, Sallysette, wearing a large black magician robe, briefly checked out a few foods, then immediately withdrew her gaze and looked at the sage assistant of the East District of Wind opposite with a smile.

"Yes, what can I do for Miss Salister?"

Maintaining the same reserved smile, Alina unabashedly asked her questions after completing the ordering process.

"Did Claude tell you about Miss Natalie?"

Seeing that the instructor chose to go straight to the topic, Salister simply gave up the foreshadowing that should have existed and directly explained the purpose of her presumptuous invitation.

"No, what's wrong with my student?"

Slightly restraining her casual attitude, Alina continued to ask with an undiminished smile.

"You should have heard of 'past', 'present' and 'future', right?" Seeing that the sage assistant did not deny it, Salister continued calmly, "Actually, among these three, There is a key key in the world, which we call the 'cornerstone'. According to the latest divination calculations by our internal members, Miss Natalie is likely to be the key that connects the 'past', 'present' and 'future'. 'Cornerstone'."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

After taking a deep look at the relaxed and comfortable "freedom" cornerstone opposite, Alina finally put away her sharp gaze and asked the opinions of the person opposite her in a very tolerant manner.

"It's not necessary." Seeing that the sage's assistant still did not let down her guard, Salister did not force herself and continued on her own, "We think there is nothing wrong with your current approach. Of course, this is between Yingza and I. Special’s position. As for other members, I’m sorry and please forgive me for not being able to disclose the specific situation.”

"May I know the reason? The reason why you decided to side with us."

Instead of agreeing directly, Alina continued to maintain due caution and vigilance as the other party wished, and asked in a deep voice?
  "I want to give Natalie the chance to make her own choice, that's where I stand."

After a moment of calm expression, Salister immediately calmed down her emotions and returned to the calmness and competence that a management cadre should have.

"I see, I'll pay attention."

She secretly noted down the key points mentioned by the other party in her mind, and after getting the exact answer, Alina no longer hesitated and officially gave her attitude.

"Thanks for your trust."

After standing up and giving a solemn salute, Salister quickly sat back down. Before her behavior attracted the attention of other guests nearby, she gathered her hair and tied it up high. Then she took the time to pick up the table. With his knife and fork, he started to enjoy the food that the waiter just brought...
