Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 421 Alina’s coping strategy and Sallysette’s reminder
  "What's wrong? Avis, did you remember any important information?"

Sensing the young man's abnormality, Alina, who wanted to ask him if he would start today's practice, couldn't help but lowered her raised hand and asked with concern.

"Senior, do you think Sallysette's appearance yesterday has something to do with what you just said?"

After hesitating for a while, Ives finally told the truth about his worries.

"I will find her to confirm the situation. Before that, try to maintain the status quo. Don't investigate or ask."

Being reminded like this, Alina couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Although the possibility is very low, there is an island in the sea several kilometers away from Randall where many monsters were once buried. If there are other arrangements on this island, then it is not impossible that the 'Sky Scholars' will pay attention to it. possible.

Thinking of this, Alina readjusted her next itinerary and planned to stay in Randall for a little longer tonight to see if she could wait until the cornerstone of 'freedom' showed up.

As for the two options of finding someone in the central library and the Magic Level Assessment Department, she has not considered it at all. Not to mention that the former hides many secrets from her, but just the latter, considering that she is currently suspended. It is undoubtedly inappropriate to visit directly at your door.

"How was practice this afternoon?"

So, after initially confirming the next itinerary, Alina immediately gathered her thoughts, broke away from her contemplation, and turned the topic back to the real purpose of the two coming to the beach.

"Sorry, I didn't practice for too long in the afternoon. Senior Elliot said that I need to understand my mastery of ritual magic first, so I spent most of the afternoon constructing ritual magic and completing the corresponding test questions."

"What's the result?"

Alina nodded clearly, and then curiously asked about the results of the other party's test.

"He said that my ritual magic relies too much on external objects. Although good magic auxiliary props can greatly enhance the effect of magic, this in turn will become my biggest weakness."

After hesitating for a moment, Ives finally truthfully confessed the evaluation of the senior who had single-handedly constructed a large-scale fixed-point teleportation magic.

"So is this why you didn't use the carrying gem when setting up the magic barrier today?"

Alina nodded again and began to ask for confirmation with some certainty.

"Yes," his expression stiffened for a moment, but Ives quickly calmed down and asked for advice, "Senior, what are we practicing today?"

"Your ability to withstand stress."

After a brief moment of thinking, Alina answered calmly.

"You should meet with the Cornerstone of Difficulty again next time, right? If you decide to meet him, then you must not let go of your homework in this area."

Seeing that Avis was still a little confused, Alina closed her eyes, calmed down her emotions, and then explained further without showing any abnormality.

"I understand, what are you going to do?"

Avis was surprised for a while, then recalled what he had experienced last week and quickly returned to calmness, allowing himself to focus on the matter in front of him.

For a moment, he wanted to ask what they discussed last week, but found that the senior had no intention of discussing this topic in depth, so he restrained his curiosity rationally. “Same as the previous exercise, but today I need to see the results of your calm thinking.”

After saying that, without waiting for Elvis to ask anything else, Alina had already stepped away some distance. At the same time, a small magic circle glowing with cyan light appeared in her hand...

……

After about half an hour,

"That's it for today. I will record my feelings during the practice. Although the 'stuck' cornerstone will probably not use attack magic to evaluate your ability, the verbal attack is actually similar to my magic attack strategy just now. , as long as you can initially adapt to the pressure of the initial conversation, you can find opportunities to seize some initiative,"

Having said this, Alina was silent for a moment. Then he formally made a choice and continued, "As for how to adapt to the initial pressure, you can try to make some predictions, and I will also sort out what I know about the situation."

"Thank you for your guidance."

He looked with some disbelief at Suzuki Orchid, who was walking towards him again. In the end, Ives did not ask what was in his heart about why the senior cared about his meeting with the 'difficult' cornerstone.

"It's getting late, you go back."

Alina nodded slightly to accept the compliment, took out her pocket watch, looked at the time, and announced calmly.

"Ah."

After recalling the senior's usual itinerary after his instruction, Ives bowed solemnly, then without any delay, removed the magic barrier he had arranged and left first.

Watching Ives's back completely disappear as far as her eyes could see, Alina moved in the opposite direction to the other party's route, found a secluded corner, and said to the surrounding air: "You recently stayed in Lanzhou." Del should have some other ideas, right?”

"Yes, this involves some arrangements by the teacher. Please forgive me for not disclosing the specific circumstances."

Beside Alina, a figure wearing a black magician hat and matching magician robe quickly sketched out and answered frankly.

"That doesn't seem to be a particularly serious problem."

Hearing the answer from the cornerstone of 'freedom', Alina couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Without a trace of hesitation, she truthfully expressed the same emotion as her inner thoughts.

"This is not like your style, Miss Suzuran."

Seeing the rare expression of emotion from the leader of the Sage Assistants, Salister couldn't help but pursed her lips in surprise and gave a calm reminder.

"But it also proves that you are worthy of my trust, doesn't it?"

Alina asked back with the same smile.

"I'm glad you think so." Seeing that the goodwill she had released before had indeed achieved its effect, Salister couldn't help but smile with relief, then stretched out with a deep sense of relief, and her tone relaxed, "Actually, You should have felt it, too. Since the end of your school trip, many things have changed. Some members, like Claude and Fisher, I can probably guess a little bit of their next thoughts, but there are still some Members, like Teresa and Ricardo, although I have a pretty good relationship with them on the surface, in fact, I don’t know what they are thinking in their hearts, and they won’t tell me, so if I can , you try not to have contact with them, this is my suggestion."
