Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 519 Each bottleneck

The next afternoon, at Randall's Arinor home,
  "What's wrong, Natalie, you seem to be out of energy today. What happened?"

Noticing that the student was frequently distracted during several writing exercises, Alina couldn't help but look at the student seriously and asked with concern.

"Teacher Alina, do you think there is really nothing wrong with me? Can I really pass the level assessment smoothly...?"

After being silent for a while, she found that the teacher did not seem to give up asking, so Natalie had to hesitate and express her uneasiness in her heart.

"Why do you think so?"

After thinking about her words for a moment, Alina immediately asked the question in her heart from the perspective of a listener.

"because…"

Taking a careful look at the teacher next to her, she saw that the teacher was still very patient and gentle as before. Natalie couldn't help but gain some confidence and tentatively expressed her worries about the quill that she had discussed with her sister yesterday.

"Don't worry, even if something special happens, the teacher will rush to Natalie as soon as possible, so Natalie can rest assured and prepare for the exam!"

While speaking, Alina couldn't help but gently touched the student's head, and used the [Breath of Wind] magic to calm the student's emotions.

"All right…"

Natalie nodded slightly, then returned her attention to the quill writing practice in front of her.

The first thing is to find the direction of the pen tip, and then dip it in ink. Do not dip too much ink in one go, otherwise the ink will easily spread when writing, making it difficult to see the specific content...

"Yes, very good, that's it, follow the direction of the pen tip, take your time, don't rush."

Seeing the student holding the quill carefully and carefully finding the angle and direction, writing stroke by stroke, Alina safely put away her [Breath of Wind] magic and carefully supervised the completion of the student's work. Today’s writing practice.

after an hour……

"How's it going? Do you feel like you've made a lot of progress compared to when you first started using the quill pen?"

Watching the student put down the last punctuation mark, Alina curled her lips with satisfaction and asked patiently.

"is that so…?"

Seeing that there were still a lot of blurred or different shades of writing on the paper, Natalie couldn't help but be suspicious of the letter.

"That's right. This is the paper you first practiced writing on. Is the ink spreading more serious than it is now?"

Gently picking up a piece of paper from the student's hand, most of the written content was infiltrated by the blurred ink. Alina carefully placed it in front of the student and asked for comparison.

"But I still have a lot of blurred areas..."

Although she wanted to agree with the teacher's words, she noticed that there were still a lot of ink marks on the picture in her hand, and Natalie still lowered her head in frustration.

"It's okay. After all, this is the first time Natalie has officially written so many words with a quill pen. Take your time, it'll be absolutely fine!"

Alina then encouraged.

"Well..." Seeing that the teacher had already said this, Natalie was embarrassed to continue to dampen the teacher's enthusiasm and nodded lightly.

"Then let's take a short rest. It just so happens that afternoon tea time is coming soon. Let's tidy up and get ready to enjoy today's afternoon tea."

As she spoke, Alina skillfully manipulated the surrounding wind elements, orderly directing all the writing tools to fly to the corner of the room not far from the two of them.

"Okay, go wash your hands. If you feel it's not clean, remember to ask me for a cleaning gem."

After looking at the cushions on the table with satisfaction, Alina withdrew her gaze and used the [Breath of Wind] magic to open the door for the student.

"Ok!"

Natalie nodded repeatedly, hurriedly ran out of the room, and turned into the bathroom on the second floor of her home.

However, just when she was about to turn on the faucet and wash her hands, she discovered that her teacher had also come out.

"Ah...! Teacher Alina, why are you here too?"

Looking at the tall figure suddenly reflected in the dressing mirror, Natalie trembled uncontrollably at first, then turned around slightly nervously based on the figure reflected in the mirror, and asked in surprise,

"Because I found that my hands seemed a little dirty."

Having said this, Alina couldn't help but helplessly spread her hands and showed the student the small piece of ink stained on the index finger of her right hand.

"Really..."

Looking at the ink stains on the teacher's fingers in disbelief, Natalie somehow didn't seem as embarrassed as before.

So, getting rid of her self-deprecating mood, she immediately turned around again, officially turned on the faucet, and began to clean the ink stains on her hands.

It would be great if Avis was here. If he were here, maybe there wouldn't be so much trouble.

Seeing how the student refused to let go of any ink stains and worked hard to clean them, Alina couldn't help but regret the agreement she had made with the 'difficult' cornerstone.

Of course, such an idea only stayed in her mind for a few seconds. She quickly restrained her expression and attention before the students had finished cleaning. While waiting patiently, she gathered some magic elements from time to time and condensed them into small... Balls of air, just playing around in boredom...

……

On the same afternoon, in Undine City, a private residence belonging to the cornerstone of "Trouble",
  However, Ives, who didn't know that he was noticed by his sage assistant training mentor in another way, was having a headache at this moment.

Although when he met his private tutor again some time ago, he had already had a premonition that the training he would face next would be quite harsh, but when he actually followed the other person's instructions, he made corresponding preparations in advance. , after changing into light clothes and using magic to strengthen his body functions, he found that he had underestimated the strength of his mentor before.

Seeing himself trying to gather magic elements to form a magic circle time and time again, being interrupted and dispersed again and again, and finally leading to failure, Ives, who was originally quite confident in the efficiency of his magic element collection, couldn't help but feel confused at this moment. An indescribable sense of frustration and powerlessness...

"Young Master, before starting today's class, I should have told you to come back prepared, but judging from the current situation, you don't seem to have listened well to my words."

Looking at the sage assistant of the North District of Water and the cornerstone of the 'Sky Scholar' who was several meters away from him in front of him, Roy Crowder couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment and put it away. Those magic elements that should have been able to successfully restrain the opponent, and removed the almost invisible magic circle at hand...
