Natalie's magical growth record

Chapter 697 The Mistake between Gray and Black
  What happened just now? Why did I hear something crashing and breaking?

Faced with the previous scene that was similar to the sound of glass breaking but without any real scene, Natalie could not help but feel doubts in her heart. She subconsciously looked back to see what was going on. But at this moment, the door in front of her opened without any warning. closed at the same time.

What happened, and why did the doors all close at once?

Natalie's doubts became even more intense. Of course, she actually still had a vague guess, but in such a depressing situation, she also knew very well that once she admitted the terrible guess from the bottom of her heart, what awaited her would follow. It's an increasingly scary future.

What to do, what should I do?
  Natalie muttered to herself repeatedly. She wanted to try to calm down, but recalling the strange changes in the surrounding environment after she pointed out that everything was 'abnormal' not long ago, she couldn't stay calm and even thought about the next way to save herself. .

"Teacher Alina..."

She tried calling the teacher's name, but understandably, she didn't get the response she wanted.

"Master Haitang..."

She tried calling out the second name...

But soon, she stopped her stupid behavior, because she also understood that maybe the Master Haitang she saw today was also a lie, and he was also deliberately pretending to be a bad guy who didn't know where he was hiding...

So, who else, who else can I look for out there?

Natalie eliminated unrealistic options one by one in her mind, and finally stopped at the staff uncle who had tried to take her away when the monster attacked Randall.

Of course, she also knew that she did not remember the uncle's name, and even where he worked, how to find him was a big problem for her...

So, who else can I turn to for help?

Natalie was sifting through people who might be able to help her in her mind, but until the silence around her once again penetrated the defenses of her soul and came to the depths of her heart, she was unable to find a suitable person to seek help from.
.
  "You made two fatal mistakes. First, you failed to be alert to the unusual in time. Second, you placed all your hopes on others."

Just when Natalie didn't know what to do, there was a sudden burst of unhurried footsteps at the empty staircase where she was supposed to be alone, but at the moment it sounded particularly creepy. exist.

"Who…?"

Holding back the increasingly intense fear, Natalie tried hard to maintain her expression and asked tremblingly in the direction of the stairs behind her.

"The normal reaction should be to protect yourself, right? Miss Arinor?"

He still had no intention of showing up, and the voice hidden in the shadow seemed to be sarcastic, but also seemed to be reminding him.

"who are you…?"

Without paying attention to what the voice said, Natalie suppressed the fear in her heart and asked again.

"You don't need to know who I am. Of course I trust you. You should be able to guess it."

But unfortunately, the owner of that voice was not shaken by this in any way, and still went his own way and quietly exerted pressure on the ten-year-old girl.

"If you don't say anything, then please leave."

Although she was scared and stressed, Natalie still tried her best to make a retort.

So, what to do now, Teacher Alina is not here, Master Haitang is not here, let alone her mother's side... Listening to the orderly footsteps disappearing silently at the end of the stairs, Natalie looked away unwillingly , once again fell into a helpless mood.

For a moment, she wanted to give up and not care about anything, until her parents or teacher Haitang discovered that she was missing and waited for their rescue. However, recalling several past experiences, the teacher and Haitang even faced the terrible situation. Her determination to not flinch even when faced with an enemy made her want to give up everything shaken again.

Yes, I am a student of Teacher Alina and a student of Lady Suzuran. As her student, how can I give up here?

Moreover, if I give up, the teacher and Master Haitang will definitely be embarrassed if others find out about it, so... So I can't give up!

Using inescapable reasons to force herself to cheer up, Natalie immediately got out of her depressed state and began to walk in the dim corridor, trying to think or find a possible breakthrough in the predicament.

But this excitement didn't last long. The seamless barrier around her and the corridor that never ended no matter how she walked instantly extinguished her hard-earned energy.

Is there really no other way? Are we really going to be trapped here?

After imagining that she was trapped in this mysterious corridor forever but no one cared about her, Natalie only felt more and more frightened. After stopping, she subconsciously curled up her body.

Or give up. What can I do as a magician who has just become a magician? It will be useless...

"You can't give up here. If Natalie gives up here, what will happen to those people who are looking forward to your performance? Natalie shouldn't want to see their sad and disappointed expressions, right?"

Just when she felt more and more desperate, a gentle voice that was very familiar to Natalie and seemed like salvation at this moment rang in her ears.

"Teacher Alina...?"

Natalie raised her head in disbelief, trying to find the direction of the source of the sound, but no matter how she searched, or even used [sound transmission] magic to sense it, she could not get the expected results.

Is it an illusion? I still can’t do it...

She waited quietly for a second or two with her last expectation. However, she never got more hope, which made her heart suddenly filled with loss and frustration again.

"Ugh…"

However, this frustration did not last long, and another slightly disappointed sigh came from the air.

"Who are you? Why are you pretending to be Teacher Alina!"

After learning about the enemy behind the scenes pretending to be Master Haitang, Natalie hurriedly raised her head cautiously and faced the empty environment in front of her.

"I said, you are the cornerstone of everything, so even though you are weak, I must provide you with some help."

The mysterious 'voice' whose voice was only heard but whose person was not seen answered condescendingly.

"Then why didn't you just rescue me from here? Why did you pretend to be Teacher Alina!"

Not paying attention to the strong contempt in the voice's words, Natalie was still worried about the other party pretending to be her teacher.

Although there was no specific image, at this time, from the other party's words, Natalie could also feel the way the other party spread his hands when he said these words.
