Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 579 Unexpected conflict after arrival
  On the afternoon of the first day of the mainland magic level assessment,
  "We are here. It will take some time for your teacher to finish her work. Do you want to wait for her first, or go directly to the astrology station?"

After about half an hour's drive, the carriage pulled into the station. Qiaoceline immediately led Natalie away from the carriage stop and politely asked for her opinion.

"Go directly to the astrology station..."

After looking at the mage who always took good care of her, and recalling her teacher's previous instructions, Natalie finally did not stay where she was willfully, and chose the latter, which would make the other party feel more relaxed. .

"Okay, then follow me this way. This way is closer."

Qiaocelin nodded lightly, without saying anything else. She directly chose a less secluded but less eye-catching route based on the memory in her mind and started heading towards their destination.

After about ten minutes of journey, the two finally arrived at the final destination of this magic level assessment, the Magic Astrology Observatory in the East District of Wind.

However, the scene before her eyes was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

If she remembers correctly, it was very quiet when she came here last time. There were not so many people. Why today...

Natalie was deeply confused, but she was embarrassed to waste the time of Miss Liford next to her. She could only suppress her doubts and continue to move forward with Qiaoceline.

"Excuse me, ladies, are you also here to observe Master Shui Begonia's subsequent magic level assessment? We have formed a study group. Do you want to join us to discuss the afternoon examination."

But before she took a few steps, a warm and lively voice came from behind her.

Who?
  Natalie became increasingly puzzled, but found that Qiaocelyn beside her didn't seem to want to stop, so she had no choice but to quietly put away her curiosity and follow the senior.

"Hey, don't be so cold. We are all here to study. Why don't we all communicate with each other? Don't you think we can gain more by discussing together?"

However, the girl who tried to talk to them seemed not to give up, and continued to come forward to communicate with the two of them.

"Miss, I'm sorry, we are in a hurry and have no intention of joining you at the moment."

Glancing at the girl behind her with a wary look, Qiaocelin immediately withdrew her gaze, no longer paying attention to the girl's shouts, and took Nata straight to the hidden side door of the astrology platform provided by Nanzhu Workshop, intending to find a relatively small number of people. The location is waiting for internal staff to lift the space restrictions in the examination room.

However, just as they were about to turn into the side door, the girl from before suddenly changed her previous enthusiasm and threw herself behind Natalie, who was completely unaware.

"what are you doing!"

Almost at the same time, Jocelyn quickly took a step forward and stood behind Natalie. She raised her hand and used a simple [Water Binding] magic to firmly restrict the opponent's hands.

But what surprised her was that the girl didn't resist at all. She just turned her head stubbornly, neither answering nor taking any other action.

"I repeat, what do you want to do! If you still refuse to answer, I don't mind reporting your attempt to steal other people's belongings to the nearby staff!"

Feeling the other party's stubbornness, Qiaocelin couldn't help but increase the intensity of the magic in her hand, causing the girl who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old to instantly tighten her lips and reveal a somewhat painful expression.

"Miss Lifford..."

Natalie didn't realize what happened just now. She subconsciously wanted to stop Qiaocelin from using magic to punish the lady, but as soon as she said these two words, she felt the sorcerer beside her. She had a stern and unquestionable aura, so she had to step back carefully, and then looked at the girl whose hands were tightly bound by magic rather unbearably, trying to use this method to persuade the young lady to answer the question. "Then you can hand me over to the nearby staff. I don't mind deducting some credits."

However, the girl still had no intention of compromising. Instead, she deliberately raised her chin, as if she would not reveal her true purpose no matter what.

"Very good, you succeeded in convincing me, let's go and leave her alone."

Seeing this, Qiaoceline couldn't help but clenched her fists, but soon she released her clenched hands. While quietly writing down the other person's clothing and corresponding appearance features, she quickly removed the magic, and then nodded. Without looking back, he took Natalie's hand again and quickly approached their previous destination.

A student at the Central Academy of Magic’s secondary school?

Only when they were completely distanced from the girl did Qiaocelin have enough energy to take stock of the details she had just observed.

The dark blue uniform, the unadorned white shirt, and the very student-like appearance were enough to determine that the girl who tried to harm Natalie came from the best magic academy in the East District of Wind.

But the question is, since she is a student of the Magic Academy, how did she find them out of the teacher's sight?
  Could it be that her behavior just now was instigated by the teacher in charge of her class?
  No, if it was really a teacher's idea, then why would he hand over such an important matter to a student who didn't have a strong level of magic?
  And, most importantly, she and Natalie looked like just two ordinary people who came to watch the Maxwell exam. Why did that student suddenly come to Natalie? And he’s so sure of Natalie’s identity…

"Let's go, let's go and wait somewhere else. If we continue to stay here, we might get into trouble."

After sorting out her thoughts for a while, she found that she couldn't figure out the reason in a short time. Qiaoceline could only reluctantly interrupt her thoughts temporarily, and then focus on Natalie next to her again, and suggested without any abnormality.

"Okay, okay, then it's up to you...!"

Natalie was a little confused at first, but the next moment she quickly suppressed her doubts and decided to follow the arrangement of the mage without any compromise.

……

Shortly after the two left, the place where the three of them had just clashed,

"How's it going? Have you figured out what happened?"

A man in his thirties who had an ordinary appearance and could hardly leave a deep impression slowly walked out from the other direction of the astrological platform and lowered his voice and asked about the girl who was still where she was.

"Sorry, please forgive my lack of ability, teacher."

Noticing the visitor on the other side, the girl who had been easily subdued by Qiaoceline quickly stopped the process of treating her injuries and bowed politely.

"I understand. I'll handle the rest. You can return to your class."

The man in his thirties nodded slightly without realizing it, and then sent his student away directly.

"Okay, teacher."

Silently moving her wrist that had been deeply scratched by magic, the girl bowed again, and then followed the instructions and quickly left the area where the two were talking...
