As Levin gazed at the girl's elegant figure, the corners of his mouth gradually curved upwards.
A long measuring tape with silver markings appeared out of thin air in Levin's hand.
It is exactly the same as the magic measuring tape that Ollivander used to measure the dimensions of young wizards.
Levin lowered his head, his unfathomable gaze lingering on Cirira's graceful back.
He approached her tenderly, almost pulling her into his arms.
He sniffed lightly, catching a wisp of sage scent from behind Shirella's earlobe.
Levin's actions surprised Ciri.
The boy's lips brushed lightly against her ear, leaving a slight coolness.
The measuring tape in Levin's hand was enchanted, just like the measuring tapes used by many wizards, such as those in Ollivander's Wand Shop and Elegant Wizarding Clothing Shop, allowing him to fulfill a wizard's measurement needs without having to use his hands.
Levin controlled the magic measuring tape to circle around Cirira from behind, then stepped back slightly, trying to see the numbers in front of him clearly.
His fingertips pressed against one end of the measuring tape, his eyes memorizing the numbers on it, while his fingers felt the tape's astonishing softness.
Levin's gentle breath almost penetrated the thin summer clothes, and the temperature emanating from his breath was as intense as his gaze.
Levin pulled Ciri's forearm apart and stretched out the measuring tape.
During the measurement process, the measuring tape was wound from the 0-degree meridian of the most observable model all the way to 180 degrees.
Shireira tried to remain calm, but a sudden tremor ran through her heart, and a series of strange feelings welled up inside her.
Levin's gaze slid down to Cirira's waist.
To make it easier to measure, Cirella removed her robes, revealing her body's outline.
Levin's gaze followed the waistline downwards, revealing the well-defined V-line.
A surge of impulse welled up within Levin. As a costume designer, he wanted to use his own hands and a magic measuring tape to measure the highs and lows of that undulating section, thereby determining the difference in value to design a suitable silhouette for the uniform.
He did just that.
When his measuring tape touched Ciri, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Although things didn't go smoothly at first, the silver measuring tape was eventually used to make the measurement successfully.
The magic measuring tape, under the influence of magic, automatically began measuring the model.
Levin's measuring tape was too much trouble to measure from top to bottom, so he simply laid it flat on the table and let the measuring tape take its measurements.
From fingers to wrist,
From wrist to elbow
From elbow to armpit
Then there's the bust, waist, and hip measurements.
The series of measurements went very smoothly, except that the bottle was knocked over or something else happened, leaving the table wet.
However, data on the upper body alone is not enough.
In addition to the top, Levin also needed to design the pants.
So he chose to measure from bottom to top.
First, those perfect feet,
From the ankle upwards,
It's always been my calves and thighs...
The magic measuring tape quickly obtained all of Cirira's leg measurements.
"So, should we continue testing?"
Seeing that Cirella's legs were getting sore and numb from standing, Levin asked with concern...
"You can't even stand up straight anymore."
"...Of course, come and get tested!"
Shireira nodded, unconvinced. She felt she could persevere through such tedious measurements.
So Levin manipulated the magic measuring tape and performed another comprehensive measurement.
The tedious measurements left the witch completely exhausted, like a puppet as the magical measuring tape measured every joint and the details of every muscle.
Finally, as the magic measuring tape measured the last bit of data, the witch couldn't help but groan and bite Levin's shoulder.
"Cirira, are you a puppy?" Levin teased, stroking the teeth marks left by the other.
As Ciri leaned back on the long table, upon hearing this, she narrowed her grey-green eyes slightly, tilted her elbows back, raised her upper body slightly, and faced Levin, flashing a mischievous and provocative smile.
She suddenly leaned forward, leading Levin to mistakenly believe she was going to measure data about the mask.
Without warning, Levin felt a slight stinging pain.
He was taken aback at first, then laughed easily.
Ciri slyly left, giving Levin a defiant look before leaping off the long table.
I quickly went into the washroom and finished cleaning.
After the initial full-body measurements, Ciri exuded vitality in every move she made.
As expected of the Witcher, she was exhausted before, but after only half an hour, she was healthy again and could run and jump.
She retrieved the robe from the doorknob and tossed one to me, Levin.
Levin reminded her before she left.
Levin didn't leave with her; he simply waved to her, smiled, and carefully collected the blood-stained tablecloth from the long table before beginning to create a sample garment based on her measurements.
The image shows the captain's outfit template—Ezio.

Chapter 257 Professor McGonagall's Gossip
As is well known, the production and lives of Muggles are extremely dependent on the division of labor.
A complete garment, from weaving the fabric to sewing, smelting and forging parts such as buttons, tanning leather, and assembling the garment, all depend on different factories and workers.
It is virtually impossible for anyone to master and complete all the steps.
But with the help of magic, Levin made it all a reality.
He not only single-handedly completed all the above tasks, creating a complete uniform for Cirella, but also prepared a full set of accessories for her, including a belt, straps, gloves, boots, a scarf, and a mask, and even completed the enchanting work.
After manufacturing it, Levin estimated the cost.
Just considering the material costs, this uniform, including the parts, will cost approximately 150 Galleons.
If you factor in the cost of enchanting, the price jumps to 500 Galleons.
Adding in miscellaneous costs such as labor, a cost of 600 Gallons is quite reasonable.
This equipment would be considered military gear by Muggle standards.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to price it at 1000 or even 2000 Gallons in the market.
This is almost equivalent to half a year's salary for an Auror.
But thinking about it carefully, this is, after all, equipment meant for survival, so it's normal for it to be a bit more expensive.
Those who think it's too expensive should take a look at the US military equipment from afar, folks. A complete set including a helmet, backpack, body armor, night vision goggles, etc., can easily sell for $2770 million to $3.
As soon as the equipment was ready, Levin invited Ciri to test it.
Cirella truly lives up to her title as a witch hunter; her tall figure and agile movements are perfectly suited to this uniform. Wearing it, she looks incredibly dashing, just like a female assassin traversing a steel jungle.
In terms of "handsomeness", this uniform completely meets the requirements.
Next comes the practical testing.
At Levin's request, Cerira first conducted a series of tactical maneuver tests.
The exercise includes a series of high-intensity activities such as somersaults, rolls, high knees, side kicks, and shuttle runs, used to test the uniform's mobility.
Aside from a few minor details that needed adjustment, the overall result was very successful.
After all, the original design was for an assassin's uniform, so it's quite fitting for a witcher.
If Levin's uniform can meet the movement needs of female witches, then it can certainly meet the needs of a group of Aurors as well.
Even the most intense battles fought by Aurors can't compare to the fighting style of a demon warrior like Cirira.
The Auror merely waved his wand, but Ciri was truly about to wield her sword and strike.
Next is the functional testing.
Cirella needs to complete a series of small tasks for Levin.
This includes, but is not limited to, leaping from the top of the Ravenclaw Tower in a leap of faith;
In the middle of the night, relying solely on his uniform, he sneaked into the restricted section of the Hogwarts library and took out a book;
Walk through a corridor filled with dung balls;
In one dimly lit room, in another room filled with thick fog, and in yet another 1000 meters away, Levin's hand gesture was clearly visible;
She impersonated Penelope to fool Percy Weasley;
After this series of tests, Levin fully experimented with the uniform's functions and ultimately succeeded.
This solution requires only minor adjustments before it can be officially put into use.
So Levin made several copies of the design, along with the sample garments and the girls' body measurements, and sent them all to Jaina.
Levin quickly received an affirmative reply.
However, Jaina is not prepared to immediately equip all Aurors with this set of equipment.
After all, Levin's uniform design is great in every way, except for one drawback—it's too expensive.
If this plan were submitted, Fudge would absolutely not approve it.
Jaina's plan was to first use the department's funds to make a small-scale purchase and equip some of the Aurors—that is, the squads directly controlled by Tonks—with this equipment.
She is prepared to pay out of her own pocket if there is a funding shortfall.
