Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 157 Past Right and Wrong·The Second Turning Point

No, it can’t be! I want to think of a way, I need to quickly think of how to save myself!

After the moment of panic, Qiaocelin quickly suppressed the fear in her heart and quickly searched her mind for relevant memories that could help her escape from the predicament.

But at this time, the hands that hung down by themselves seemed to have lost their consciousness again and returned to a still state, as if the disjointed movement at that moment was caused by her illusion.

what happened? Why did it suddenly recover?

Qiaoceline raised her hands in disbelief, again and again, and again. After confirming that nothing was abnormal, she put her hands away fearfully and calmed down the tension in her chest that seemed to be suffocating her.

[Have you calmed down? Calm down, then let me continue my analysis. 】

The clock on the wall was ticking, and after an unknown number of back and forths, the unique voice from Xila sounded again near the bedroom window.

"No, there's no need. Father is right. I really can't easily trust an existence of unknown origin."

Without a trace of hesitation, Qiaoceline quickly closed the window, refilled the magic energy required for the room's enchantment, and returned to the bed.

This should be fine, right? She won't come to me again, will she?

After carefully glancing in the direction of the window and desk, and making sure that the being named Xila had not followed, Qiaocelin looked away and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the next few days, although Jocelyn still lived under the strictness of the housekeeper Angel and other servants in the mansion. But these days she was rarely relaxed, and her relationship with the housekeeper was much easier than the previous week.

"Miss, you seem to be in a good mood today. Did something good happen to you?"

The butler Angel and the young master were walking in the corridor of the family mansion one after another. Hearing the footsteps behind them that were a little brisk unconsciously, they seemed to ask casually.

"Yes, this morning I finally successfully solved a problem left by Teacher Hobert. I can't wait to find an open space to try the effect of this new magic."

Qiaoceline answered calmly and looked out the window cooperatively, showing just the right amount of curiosity.

"Is that so? Congratulations to Miss. But Miss, the master is already waiting for you in the study. I hope you can adjust your plan as soon as possible." Angel smiled gently, and the young lady behind him was already familiar with him. This time he did not stop the young lady behind him from looking out the window.

"Okay, I know."

Capturing the hidden message behind the housekeeper's polite words, Qiaoceline immediately put away her exposed emotions and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

"Excuse me, sir, I brought the lady over."

After three rhythmic knocks on the door, the housekeeper respectfully stepped aside and waited for the study door to open automatically.

With a heavy muffled sound from the door, the spacious study layout appeared in front of Qiaoceline's eyes again.

"I told Mr. Hobert that we will continue to learn magic from him tomorrow."

There was no greeting or greeting. The middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the long dark table just nodded with an indifferent expression. Without waiting for the daughter standing at the door to salute, he bluntly stated his purpose of calling her over.

"Yes, Father!" As soon as she finished speaking, the tense expression on Qiaocelin's face couldn't help but relax, and she hurriedly responded with joy.

"Have you encountered anything strange in the past two days?"

The head of the Liford family nodded lightly with satisfaction, and then asked the next question.

Qiaoceline's heart skipped a beat, she hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head calmly: "No, everything is normal these days."

"Okay, then you remember to consolidate the knowledge Master Hobert taught you. There is nothing else."

After saying that, the head of the Liford family immediately withdrew his gaze that briefly stayed in front of him, and simply made a farewell gesture towards the door of the study.

Ugh…!
  Seeing that elusive figure once again exposing herself to endless work or books, Qiaoceline couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, and then followed the other person's wishes, She quietly closed the door and exited the study, which was unusually cold to her.

"Miss, are you going to the practice range next?"

Almost at the same time she stepped out of the study, the housekeeper Angel came out again, smiling appropriately and giving suggestions for the next step.

"Yes."

Qiaoceline responded succinctly, and then silently followed her housekeeper through the gate of the mansion and the winding tree-lined paths in the garden, and arrived at a flat land that was open and spacious.

"Then Miss, please allow me to take my leave first. If there is an emergency, please don't be stingy with the warning runes in your pocket."

"Ok!"

Qiaoceline smiled and nodded, and immediately started practicing today's magic without looking back.

[Calm Water], [Water Sting], simplified version [Water Tide]...

One by one, either strong or gentle magic burst out from the blue magic circle around Qiaoceline. Some of them are used to destroy the enchantment site, and some are used to calm the restless emotions of the surrounding magic elements...

In the middle, every magic was perfect, and there was never a single mistake. Even if she didn't directly cast the opponent's healing magic, her excellent control over the magic elements would allow her to move more smoothly.

In this way, Teacher Hobert will praise me further, right? This should change my father's view of me!
  Thinking about it, Qiaocelin immediately stopped the slow pace of her previous practice and began to repeat these basic moves desperately, over and over again, each time getting better than the last.

Suddenly, a burst of pain suddenly spread from her chest, as if it was going to tear her whole body apart, stopping her practice abruptly, causing her half-finished magic to uncontrollably disintegrate before her eyes.

what happened? what happened? Why do symptoms of magic depletion suddenly appear?
  A series of doubts emerged in her mind as her magic collapsed.

She wanted to do something to stop the situation from deteriorating, but unfortunately before she could fulfill the outstretched hands and all the shouts that came to her lips, her consciousness fell into a deep darkness uncontrollably.

When she woke up again, she was no longer surrounded by the vast training field or the nearby tree-lined paths. Instead, she was surrounded by the familiar plain ceiling and the warm and reliable hand of the maid Corina... …

　Let's update it first and then revise it tomorrow. The plot is slowly advancing step by step, and we have finally reached this point. The second turning point is really not easy...!
  　　PS: I’ll give you another extra episode tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. After all, this extra episode has really been delayed for a long time. I’m a little embarrassed to delay it any longer...I’ll start overcoming lazy cancer tomorrow. I hope this isn’t poisonous milk. 0_0
