Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 367 The aftermath after negotiation
  After this episode, although the two of them had a tacit understanding not to mention the abnormality just now, neither Natalie nor Alina had the will to continue the previous topics.

Therefore, at Natalie's request, Alina finally did not continue to stay with the students. Instead, she came to the desk some distance away from the students and began to think about what she had missed during today's actions.

dong dong dong~
  However, just as she took out the pen from her coat pocket and subconsciously prepared to write something to distract herself, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room where she and Natalie were.

It would be too coincidental to knock on the door at this time, right?

Although Alina thought so in her heart, she did not show any corresponding emotions on the surface. She even controlled her movements of putting down the pen very well, without revealing her alertness and vigilance.

"Who?"

After waiting patiently for a while, when she saw a new knock on the door, Alina nodded lightly to Natalie on the bed, got up and walked to the door, slightly relaxing some of the magic restrictions. , using the [voice transmission] magic to convey his words.

"It's me, senior. Is Miss Natalie awake?"

Outside the door, Ives's usual warm and restrained voice sounded. Judging from his tone, he didn't seem to be dissatisfied with being left outside the door.

"Well, Natalie is awake. Do you want to come in and see her?"

Alina couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it was Ives's voice, but on the surface, she still did not relax her vigilance at all, and added one more question to the answer.

"In that case, I won't disturb you seniors. You know, I still have some other work to do."

After a brief silence, Ives finally did not disturb the two people in the room. He planned to walk around first to see if his previous purification magic was in place.

"It's okay, I just have something I need your help with."

Sensing the helpless silence before the young man answered, Alina immediately felt completely relieved and stopped the junior who was about to leave.

The moment he heard the word help, Avis couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart. The first thing that came to mind was the scene of the crazy loss of magic power when he presided over large-scale magic twice. However, on the surface, he still maintained his proper smile calmly and asked politely without showing any abnormality: "Excuse me, what is it?"

"Help check on Natalie's condition. This shouldn't require you to consume too much magic power, right?"

Alina asked meaningfully.

"Well, there's no need..." Unexpectedly, the other party pointed out the worries deep in his heart. The corner of Avis's mouth twitched slightly, and then he put on a warm smile skillfully and bowed, "Then please temporarily remove the magic. It’s banned, senior.”

"no problem."

As soon as she finished speaking, Alina raised her hand and touched the translucent magic circle on the door, temporarily drained away the magic filled in it, and opened the door.

So, when Natalie heard the noise and quickly got out of bed and sat on the chair next to the bed, what she saw was Master Haitang entering the room under the leadership of the teacher.

"Master Haitang..." Natalie was about to ask why the other party came over, but when she noticed that the other party still looked a little pale and had a forced smile, she immediately lost all confidence and looked away apologetically.

"It's okay. This is not your problem. Presiding over purification magic on that scale is a huge burden for me. I hope you don't blame yourself."

Sensing the girl's dodge of gaze, Avis was uncontrollably stunned for a moment, then came to the girl with a sudden realization, lowered his head and gently touched the girl's head.

"Really…?"

Although Natalie knew that she shouldn't doubt Master Haitang, she couldn't help but feel uneasy when she saw the somewhat pale face up close and the smile that looked a little forced against the pale face.

"Really, the kind of purification magic that Master Haitang used before usually requires 3-5 senior magicians to perform it. Because of the existence of the fog, Celia Town currently cannot spare any extra manpower, so it can only He did it alone.”

Unexpectedly, the person who answered her was not Ives, who was the person involved, but Alina, who had not shown up during the entire purification magic.

"why is it like this…"

Hearing that Master Haitang had endured magic that could only be accomplished by the cooperation of 3 to 5 magicians, Natalie's first subconscious thought was not admiration for Master Haitang's magic capacity, but a heartfelt concern and concern for her. She was surprised even by the dissatisfaction of her teachers and other staff members who stood idly by.

But soon, realizing that her thoughts were inappropriate, she forcibly dismissed those thoughts that she shouldn't have had, and instead thought about why Master Haitang could complete such powerful magic alone.

"Actually, I used some opportunistic methods. If I didn't have a certain degree of confidence, I wouldn't dare to take on such a dangerous job."

As if he had read through her thoughts, just when Natalie was confused, she heard that Avis, who had moved a chair and sat across from her, had taken the lead in explaining.

"Opportunistic?"

Natalie silently repeated the other party's words, but for a moment she couldn't completely connect this word that was very far away from the sage assistant with the other party.

"Well, to put it simply, I use some props that can share the pressure I bear to relieve some of the burden. With their help, I can barely complete that magic by myself. As for the premise of cooperation between 3-5 people, because I made some changes to this magic before, so you don’t have to think about it as long as you can withstand the pressure.”

With a slightly helpless glance at Alina, who was waiting for his explanation with great interest, Avis withdrew his gaze and chose a relatively general and easy-to-understand way to explain why he could cast such large-scale magic.

"So that's it, I understand, thank you, Master Haitang!"

Although there were still some things she didn't understand, Natalie, who roughly understood what was going on, immediately nodded repeatedly and bowed seriously to the sage assistant of the Water North District opposite.

"So, Ives, is there still something wrong with Natalie?"

Just when the two of them felt relaxed again, Alina's words made Natalie tense up again...
