Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 626 Alina’s second commission

【Permissions...】

With a solemn expression, Salister secretly repeated the other party's words in her mind. After a brief hesitation, she finally said a reminder: "This is not a good thing. No matter where you are, it is impossible for you to really take away the information." .”

"So I'm also looking forward to what kind of exchange chips they will offer me."

Alina curled her lips with interest and didn't care much about the answer.

No kidding!

Originally, Salister was going to retort like this, but after recalling her cooperation with the leader of the Sage Assistant so far, she finally suppressed all her emotions and changed her words, "I am still the same as before. That said, if you need help, you can come to me, but only for what I can do.”

"no problem."

After making a casual gesture of 'yes', Alina returned her attention to the many documents at her feet.

After waiting quietly for a while, seeing that the leader of the Sage Assistants really had nothing else to communicate with, Salister also released the transformation magic, put the wide hat back on her head, and left without any delay. The special guard room where Alina is.

……

Not long after Alina and the two "Sky" cornerstones had finalized today's follow-up arrangements, Avis also successfully ended the morning assessment and returned to his residence in Randall.

"The ranking competition should start tomorrow, right?"

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Avis twitched the corner of his mouth with a rather complicated mood.

Although this so-called ranking match does not involve the results of the level assessment, as the highly regarded first sage assistant in the North District of Water and the first successor of the Maxwell family, he We must pay attention to this magic duel competition that is outside the assessment of intermediate and advanced magic levels.

In the past few days, he also tried to observe the exams of other candidates, and learned more or less about the magical attributes of some candidates and their proficiency in magic.

But he knew very well that if he wanted to defeat other candidates in the entire Silver City examination area through the information he learned, it was not enough to rely solely on the limited information in his hands.

So, besides the necessary intelligence gathering, what else can he do to improve his chances of winning?

Magic strength and usage techniques?
  No, although these two are most effective, they obviously cannot be completed in just half a day?

Combat strategy and flexible combination of various moves?

This can indeed be designed in a short time, but it is also severely limited by the opponent's magic strength and magic attributes.

Moreover, according to Suzuran-senpai, everyone's skills in using magic are more or less different. If you blindly formulate combat strategies based on your one-sided understanding of a certain kind of magic, you are likely to fall into a passive state. , and even been targeted by opponents in turn.

So you have to give up on formulating a battle strategy in advance?

No, I'm not Suzuran-senpai. It's too difficult to deal with battles and deduce strategies at the same time.

Therefore, let’s enumerate a few plans that will not go wrong in general direction.

Let’s start with the characteristics of each magical attribute.

Remember, you can only describe the characteristics and not add subjective images.    …

After a fierce ideological struggle, Ives immediately ordered the butler to get paper and pen, and began to write down what he learned about the characteristics of various magical properties.

However, just as he had just finished writing the respective areas of expertise for each magical attribute and was about to bind this part first, he spotted the butler Wesley out of the corner of his eye who seemed to be waiting not far away.

"What happened?"

Stopping silently, Avis hurriedly re-corrected his sitting posture, raised his head and asked.

"Ms. Suzuran sent you a letter saying that she will come to visit you in half an hour and check your progress. I hope you can make some preparations in advance."

Wesley remained polite and humble as he handed over the envelope and bowed slightly.

"I see."

Resisting the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth slightly to express his dissatisfaction, Avis quietly closed his eyes, and then gave the butler another order without any abnormality.

After a while, Wesley returned to the living room on the first floor of the house with a neat stack of file bags in his arms, and gently placed the file bags in his hands on the upper left corner of the coffee table.

Ives nodded lightly, without saying much, and directly carefully reviewed the approvals he made last night.

Although he knew that at this stage, the senior Feng Linglan could not and would not directly let him take over the decision-making of major matters, but he still did not dare to neglect, and still followed his own habits and seriously began to think about the plans he had given. Determine whether there are any omissions...

……

"It seems that I came at a bad time. Or should I come again at another time?"

Just as Ives was gradually immersed in his own world of thought, Sallysette, who had used transformation magic to change her appearance and clothing, quietly stopped several steps away from Ives, wiping her face in a reserved but meaningful way. With a deep smile, he looked at the young man a few steps away who didn't seem to notice the visitor.

"I'm sorry, senior. I accidentally got too obsessed during the review. Please forgive me for being rude. These are the documents you requested. They have been processed. Is there anything else you need my help with?"

I was caught off guard when I heard the voice that seemed to contain some profound meaning. Ives, who was checking the contents of the approval column line by line with an un-dipped pen, suddenly paused, then hurriedly put down the pen, trying to maintain the smile on his face, and his movements were standard. He bowed seriously.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a trivial thing, you don't need to care."

After carefully recalling the positioning information she had observed, Salister easily maintained a light smile on her face, sat down on the sofa opposite Avis and symbolically Picked up a document and looked at it carefully.

"Not bad. It seems that you have a good grasp of what I told you before."

After about half a minute, Sallysette slowly put down the document and gave her first comment with a smile.

"But, do you think this plan on how to deal with abandoned farmland in the suburbs can be extended to all nearby households?"

Seeing the relief that Avis felt, Sallysette immediately smiled and, following Alina's habit, quietly changed the subject.

As expected, she saw the surprise and helplessness of Avis's brief appearance, and saw the other person's face forcibly restraining his emotions and adjusting his expression when he realized that these expressions were not appropriate, so that in the end his smile became slightly stiff...

　Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone~
