Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 486 Anomalies in the Cornerstone of ‘Freedom’ (Part )

Self-imposed? !
  If he remembered correctly, the last time he heard that Sally was closing herself off was when she had just learned about her mission and joined the 'Sky Scholars'.

That time it was because of refusing the mission, but what about this time?
  It can't be the same reason, right?
  Thinking of this, Inzat couldn't help but chuckle twice. However, he knew the answer to the question very well, so he just chuckled twice, then put away his unnecessary thoughts and faced his own situation again. The teacher appropriately expressed his surprise: "How could this happen?"

"I'm surprised too."

The 'witness' also expressed his opinions in a timely manner, but other than that, he did not say much. Both his tone and expression were as objective and indifferent as his title.

"I don't think it's the same reason."

Not paying attention to the change in his teacher's attitude, Inzat also gave his own opinions according to the established plan.

Nodding slightly, the 'witness' then stopped in front of a room in the middle of the second floor of the mansion, and made an inviting gesture to the student next to him: "This is it, the rest is up to you, Ying. Zaat.”

"Okay, I understand, please take care of yourself."

After returning the salute solemnly, Inzate immediately stopped his salute. After watching his teacher's back completely disappear on the other side of the corridor, he slowly withdrew his gaze and knocked on the door in front of him with a complicated mood.

However, what he received in response was a wordless silence.

"What happened, Sallysette?"

After calming down a little, Inzat raised his hand and knocked on the door in front of him again.

"It turns out it's you, Inzat. What happened outside? Do you need my help?"

Although the voice was a little soft, relying on his excellent wind magic skills, Inzat was able to use the [sound transmission] magic to hear the response on the other side of the door relatively smoothly.

"It's nothing. I just heard that you seem to have hit a bottleneck. I came here to take care of you."

Seeing that the other party seemed to have no intention of opening the door, he simply did not use his higher authority to break the other party's current state.
  "It's okay, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."

Just like the words I heard before, the cornerstone of 'freedom', which is always full of vigor and vitality, is now like a child forcing a smile, stubbornly insisting on a lie that is easy to see through.

"You can't get along with me no matter how you look now, right?"

Faced with his colleague's stubbornness, Inzat smiled helplessly at first, and then took the initiative to point out the tacit understanding that the two had until just now.

The scene was silent for a while, and just when Inzat thought he would get no feedback, Salister's voice came from in front of him again: "Okay, Inzat, I just don't understand suddenly. How should I choose..."

"No matter what you choose, as long as you are worthy of yourself. You don't need to be a vassal of the sky, and the sky doesn't need your vassal. This is what we understood from the beginning, isn't it?"

Without asking any more questions, Inzat just assumed the duties of a senior and gave them as much support as possible.

"It's precisely because of this that I don't understand how I should choose!"

As if something had been touched, the voice through the door suddenly became hysterical. "Sorry, Sallysette, I made a mistake."

Although he knew that the other party could not see him through the door, Yingzat still implemented his idea and bowed slightly again and saluted.

"It doesn't matter, I'm the one who should be sorry..."

He thought that he would hear the extremely tolerant but hysterical words of his junior again like many years ago. However, the warmth and tolerance in front of him once again broke his cognition, showing that this junior is rarely known to others. A side of surprise.

However, this emotion did not stay on him for too long. He quickly adjusted his state and continued to wait patiently for the follow-up answer.

"By the way, Inzat, did the teacher give you a new task? If so, please thank him for me."

Unexpectedly, the "freedom" cornerstone in the room once again acted out of common sense and mentioned something that didn't seem to have much to do with the two of them.

"Yes." After patiently giving an affirmative answer, Inzat then adjusted his mood and asked the previous question again, "So, Sallysette, what exactly happened, can you tell me? ?”

"Inzat, you should know that I can't face you. So, if you don't want to cause trouble, you can put away your curiosity."

But this time, the person in the room seemed to have turned back into the flamboyant and wanton "arrogant witch" that many people were afraid to approach.

It was not until this moment that Inzat truly understood how correct his teacher’s previous statement of ‘being too public’ was…

……

"So, you didn't see Miss Salister in the end, right?"

After listening to the somewhat emotional narration of the 'hypocritical' Cornerstone opposite, Alina couldn't help but sip the coffee served by the waiter, and only asked her interesting rhetorical questions without fear of being scolded by the other party.

"Although I really don't want to admit it," Yingzat couldn't help but spread his hands at this point, and then continued as if belatedly adjusting his emotions, "but the fact is that it is like that, I failed."

After waiting quietly for a while, he found that the person opposite didn't seem to be planning to speak. Inzat had no choice but to restrain his excess emotions again and asked with a smile: "So, our resourceful Lord Suzuran, can you help me with a little... What about psychological analysis?”

"I'm sorry, if you can't even understand her, I, who am not a psychiatrist, may not be able to help."

Secretly stunned for a moment, Alina immediately held up the tea cup again, took a sip of the slightly bitter coffee, and politely declined with an apologetic smile.

"That's it. Please forgive me for my lack of consideration just now." Seeing that the sage's assistant decisively refused, Inzat was not so surprised. He ended the unpleasant topic and turned to other things. " So, how is Miss Arinor doing now? I hope our behavior did not cause her too much trouble."

"Well, she's fine. Thank you for your concern."

After carefully feeling the magic elements nearby and finding no abnormalities, Alina nodded with confidence and gave a reassuring answer.

"That's good," Inzat secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then he seemed to remember something, and asked with a deep-eyed but curious smile, "Then, there is one more question, Miss Alina, may I ask what you just said? Why go to the Forbidden Library? As far as I know, you should not be lacking in learning resources for that knowledge?"

　Sorry, I was a little confused at night. I will probably go over this chapter again. Please forgive me =_=
