The strong wind whistled in the ears, causing the grass blades to fly around. This was actually a simple practice method that Maka taught Barbre.

So far, Barbray can still only summon the hurricane quite roughly, or in other words, he is still just relying on the instinct formed during the initial magic riot to stimulate the activation of magic.

However, since Barbre has poured his enthusiasm into practice these past few days, he has made considerable progress. For example, today, he was able to roughly control the wind direction and make the hurricane blow back and forth.

At this moment, the invisible wind blew the blades of grass flying back and forth around him, allowing other people watching from a distance, as well as Barbre himself, to see the movement of the wind more intuitively. For Barbre,

If you can grasp your control situation more clearly, you will undoubtedly be able to consciously and gradually improve.

However, Barbre today was obviously a little absent-minded from the beginning. Even when the wind direction changed several times, he was hit on the head and face by the grass blades and sand blown by the wind.

In fact, the edges of the grass blades were surprisingly sharp. After several repetitions, there were multiple tiny cuts on his cheeks and neck.

"Okay, let's stop for a moment!"

When she saw Barbrai being hit by blades of grass again, Maka finally made a gesture to the opponent in the hurricane, asking him to calm down the wind for the time being.

At the same time, the queen standing next to Maka immediately said:

"Mr. McClain, how are today's test results...?"

After these days of accompanying experiments, the Queen no longer takes the initiative to speak out her preconceived judgments. Because although she has known about the magic world and wizards since she was a child, now after coming into contact with Maka,

Only then did she realize that the young and promising wizard in front of her was definitely very different from the wizards she knew in the past.

Right now, the Queen is looking forward to Maka's comments on Barbre's test results, because this will most likely give her a better understanding of wizards and magic.

However, Maka, who often said something casually in the past few days, didn't seem to be very interested today.

"Um?"

After hearing the Queen's question, Maka, who was still thinking about some questions, subconsciously waved her hand.

The next moment, everyone including Barbre, who was coming from the hillside a little further away, felt a breeze rising out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, it turned from weak to strong, and suddenly blew from the top of a big tree nearby.

Passed by.

Immediately, the air flow reversed back, enveloping the fallen leaves, and rushed towards the second tree on the other side.

"Tu tu tu tu."

Accompanied by a sound like an arrow hitting a target, everyone saw that the leaves were stuck on the trunk of the tree.

"Barbre's advantage is that he can gradually learn to actively control magic with practice. This is difficult for ordinary wizards to do, so it will also be his advantage. However, if he wants to use various magic powers normally,

There are many kinds of magic spells with multi-faceted effects, which are definitely much more difficult than those for wizards who normally awaken their magic power."

As Maka said this, she suddenly pointed at the leaves on the trunk and said:

"He must at least reach this level before he can officially start learning how to cast and use magic spells."

In fact, this no longer only involves the control of wind, but the essence and direction of the practice remain the same after all.

You must have strong enough mental power to control a large amount of activated magic power, and you must take into account both explosive power and durability.

Of course, not to mention that Maka's bare-handed performance had greatly shocked Barbray's heart. Maka himself was actually just doing it casually. But his mind at the moment was still stuck on the previous premise.

Above is the London appointment with Herbo.

For him, the test against Barbre was over at the beginning.

"McLean...sir?"

While Maka was still thinking, Barbray, who had been hesitating since before, finally came up and whispered to Maka. Looking at him, he seemed to want to say something.

But before Maka could ask, the prince standing aside suddenly coughed slightly, as if to remind Barbre of something.

When Barbre heard the sound, although he did not dare to look in the direction of the prince, his whole body visibly stiffened.

Although Maka noticed this at the time, he did not express anything about it. He just reached out and patted Barbre on the shoulder, casually reminding:

"Continue to practice diligently as I say! You know, the results will be linked to your efforts."

Having said that, Maka took a notebook and a quill from Delphi's hand, jotted down a few words in it, and stuffed it back into the leather bag on her waist.

Then, after seeing the Queen mentioning the London garrison again, she waved her hand and said:

"Everyone, tonight ends here. It's time for me to go back... Good night."

As soon as he finished speaking, Maka took Delphi and disappeared from the queen and others in the blink of an eye, just like before.

Only this time, a second before Maka's figure suddenly disappeared, he suddenly said something that could only be heard by Barbre:

"See you tonight."

…

When Kingsley followed Maka and apparated away from the British royal family's manor and returned to the Chateau de Blois in France, he found that neither Maka nor Delphi had arrived here first as he expected.

It was already dark now, and the lights on the "front side" of Chateau Blois had long since gone out, and the entrance was completely dark.

But Kingsley was obviously not worried about the darkness here.

"Does Maka have anything else to do?"

Although he was a little worried, Kingsley still didn't show any fuss when he thought that it was Maka after all. To be honest, if it was him who didn't arrive at Castle Blois, it might be even more surprising.

Worried!

"It's okay," Kingsley thought for a moment and couldn't help shaking his head, "This isn't the first time."

After soothing himself, he went straight back to the Blois family inside. He didn't bother anyone in particular. He just told the old housekeeper about Maka's return when passing by the hall, and then left.

He went directly back to his room to rest.

And it turns out that Kingsley was right.

Just before he successfully returned to Blois Castle, Maca and Delphi left the hillside clearing and quietly appeared in a Muggle village not far away.

.

"Delphi, let's find a place to sit here and talk again!" Maka said to the girl next to her.
