Just as everyone was constantly amazed by Jia Na's learning progress with the 【Wizard's Hand】, Mary-Margaret, who was originally standing on the podium, suddenly walked down and went straight to the aisle next to Jia Na, looking thoughtfully at the emerald green 【Wizard's Hand】 in front of Jia Na.
"Have you learned this Witchcraft in advance before?"
The solidified magic power, the stable molding state, plus the precise casting gestures, the 【Wizard's Hand】 performed by Jia Na, its proficiency in Witchcraft techniques is even better than many senior apprentices.
"No, Professor, this is the first time I'm learning this Witchcraft today."
"Is that so?"
An almost imperceptible grayish-white light flashed in Mary-Margaret's gray glass-like eyes. Seeing that the lie detection Witchcraft did not give a prompt, Mary-Margaret was sure that the little Witch in front of her was indeed not lying.
"That's really strange..."
Muttering silently to herself, Mary-Margaret's slightly plump face was full of doubt and confusion.
"What's your name?"
"Professor, my name is Jia Na-Luo Lan."
"Oh, so it's you... So you are the level one apprentice that Grace mentioned last time, the one who has already mastered 【Partial Transfiguration】... Then it's not strange."
Her eyes lit up, and after Mary-Margaret repeatedly scrutinized Jia Na several times, a rare smile of satisfaction appeared on her face.
"You are very good... You must keep it up, absolutely do not slack off easily, understand?"
"Thank you for the Professor's guidance, I understand."
Patting Jia Na's slightly thin shoulder, and after taking a deep look at the other party, Mary-Margaret withdrew the smile from her face, and with a serious expression, walked back to the podium, continuing to check the casting progress of others.
...
"Jia Na, Professor Margaret seems to like you very much."
"Is that so? Perhaps it's because the Witchcraft I performed this time satisfied her."
"No... I don't think it's because of this, but because..."
Saying this, Vivian turned her head and said in a mosquito-like voice that only Jia Na and she could hear:
"You are also a commoner apprentice."
Regarding Vivian's guess, Jia Na neither responded nor refuted, but just quietly glanced at Vivian and smiled cunningly.
"Stop guessing wildly, hurry up and practice your 【Wizard's Hand】 more."
Looking at Jia Na's calm and serene face again, Vivian even felt that Jia Na's cunning expression just now, like a fox, was merely her own illusion.
"It seems I'm too tired..."
Rubbing the temples on her forehead, Vivian's attention also refocused on her "disappointing" 【Wizard's Hand】, and she began to practice it repeatedly again and again.
...
"It seems that this time the timing for adding points was indeed just right."
Looking again "inadvertently" at Mary-Margaret standing on the podium, Jia Na's lips couldn't help but curve into a small arc.
"Although it was intentional, my original idea was just to increase the attention of the Witchcraft teachers for each subject, thereby raising my impression..."
Through long-term social efforts, Jia Na not only successfully joined the "Bai Wu Xie Club", a top apprentice circle, but also, through the opportunity of attending the "Bai Wu Xie Club" gathering, gained the favor of David-Berg, thus obtaining the qualification to work in the Nightingale Opera Troupe.
In addition, by fully utilizing 【Exceptional Memory】 and the extraordinary Comprehension talent that broke through 10 points, Jia Na continuously increased her presence in front of the Witchcraft teachers of each subject by establishing a persona of a "top student" or even a "genius".
The purpose was also to gain the qualification to study in the level two Wizard Gathering Place - Dordogne-White Tower, just like Grace-Eva and Professor Mary-Margaret did in the past, when she enters the level three apprentice stage.
Jia Na knew that reaching that step might be very difficult, and even in the end, there would be the risk of "drawing water with a bamboo basket". However, if Jia Na didn't even try, the cards in her hand would always be those few sets.
After all, opportunity will always only be given to those who are prepared. For a commoner apprentice like Jia Na who is unwilling to join a Wizard family, the effort required to climb to the peak of the Wizard path must be exponentially greater than that of apprentices also from Wizard families.
It is precisely because of this that in order to gain Professor Mary-Margaret's attention, Jia Na made the high-profile move of "adding points on the spot and stunning everyone".
"Dordogne... I hope I can get what I want."
In the following classes, people also successfully performed the 【Wizard's Hand】. However, without exception, every apprentice who performed this Witchcraft for the first time only managed to condense a mini hand the size of a baby's fist, and there was no longer the "special case" situation like Jia Na's.
...
"Those who haven't succeeded yet, remember to practice repeatedly after class. And those who have succeeded, must not slack off, and must continue to keep it up..."
Saying this, Mary-Margaret's gaze couldn't help but look at Jia Na sitting in the front rows. Seeing that she was listening intently to her words, she turned her head to look at the other apprentices.
"Alright, class dismissed. If you have any questions you don't understand, you can come to my office after class to ask me by exchanging credit points."
"Goodbye, Professor Margaret—"
As expected, the moment Professor Margaret stepped out of the classroom, Jia Na was quickly surrounded by circles of apprentices, making the nearby Vivian unable to help but cover her ears.
"Miss Jia Na, may I ask you for advice on the issue of casting gestures..."
"Excuse me, you usually have to pay credit points to consult on this question, why should Miss Jia Na answer you for free?"
"Ah... Sorry, sorry..."
Looking at the male apprentice in front of her whose cheeks were flushed with embarrassment after being scolded, who seemed to have just broken through to the level one apprentice stage, Jia Na suddenly remembered that this person should be the male apprentice who always occupied a shady spot for her during outdoor classes.
Moreover, when Jia Na heard that the question the other party asked was so simple that it was almost impossible to exchange for credit points, Jia Na, who originally had no expression, displayed the most appropriate smile again under the 【Muscle Control】 talent.
"It's okay, this question is not worth wasting credit points at all, I can answer you for free this time..."
Hearing Jia Na's answer, the male apprentice whose earlobes were already red from being scolded, this time even his neck turned red.
"However, according to the Wizard's principle of equivalent exchange, subsequent questions will be charged."
"Understood... Understood, thank you, Miss Jia Na..."
"You're welcome."
