Chapter 033 Qing Ya's Letter

After Magical Girl Ash had left, the classroom was enveloped in deathly silence for a long time, with three floating pumpkin lamps flickering intermittently in the semi-darkness.The faces of the people below alternated between light and shadow, making their expressions unclear.

In such an uneasy atmosphere, two rookie Magic Girls rested their hands on their knees, occasionally scratching their hands and looking at each other, as if searching for an excuse to escape.

Finally, Lilai from the top three leaders of the Alliance broke the silence, looking up at the two newcomers and said indifferently,

"As you have seen, an unexpected incident has occurred, so we will end the meeting here. You two should go back, and be careful on your way."

"Okay, then dear seniors, we'll take our leave now!"

The two Magic Girls, finding an opportunity to exit, quickly spoke in unison, immediately stood up to bow, and fled the classroom like a streak of smoke, leaving only the three presidents of the Alliance under the pumpkin lamps.

"Xiao Ni is still the same, impulsive, reckless, and stubborn." Lilai glanced at the shattered glass on the floor and spoke unhurriedly, "Honestly, should we not discuss who has been spoiling her character like this?"

"Whether during training or at other times, I have never relaxed my expectations of her for a moment," Udina explained calmly for herself.

At that moment, both turned their gaze to Xizi Yue, who was sitting on their right, silent.

"You guys are quite humorous, don't tell me you think it was me…" Xizi Yue had just started speaking when she saw the aggressiveness in their eyes intensifying and sighed lightly, changing her words, "Fine, let's just say it was me who spoiled her that way. If you all are going to be like this, what can I say? Whatever suits you."

She finished her sticky rice dumpling, clapped her hands, and continued,

"But on the bright side, at least she's quite lively, isn't she? Otherwise, having 'magic' without 'girl' would render the title 'Magic Girl' meaningless."

Lilai shifted her gaze away from her, her tone cold, "That sounds easy for you to say, but who knows what trouble she might cause in this coming year."

"Rather than worrying about these things that haven't happened yet, why don't we discuss the person who was following her? Doesn't that concern you?" Sёarch* The nôᴠel Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Speaking of which, Xizi Yue cleverly and smoothly shifted the topic, "Though the eavesdropper was weak, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden so poorly, we should not take it lightly. Maybe he allowed himself to be discovered on purpose, aiming to lure Xiao Ni to follow him."

With those words, a heavy book with intricate patterns engraved on its cover appeared in her hand and gently rose into the air as if held by an invisible hand from below.

Immediately, a card flew out from the book and shot towards the window, disappearing into the night without a trace.

Xizi Yue grabbed the Magic Book, closed it, and while placing it on the table, she explained, "If something happens to her, this card will teleport you there the moment you need to be."

Lilai noticed something off in her words and gave her a sharp look, "Us? What about you?"

"Eating, sleeping, and gathering strength. I have a pile of adverts to shoot tomorrow," Xizi Yue replied naturally.

"I really wish your fans in China could see what you're really like," Lilai said.

"I am only paying homage to our national treasure, the panda," she responded.

"Don't insult pandas, they are not as lazy as you."

Udina interrupted their idle chatter, "In any case, putting aside her personality, Bai Zini is indeed the most promising Magic Girl we have seen. Given her rate of progress, she might match us in less than a year. It's precisely because of her clearly visible potential that you both are focusing on nurturing her, aren't you?"

"It's only regarding the speed of her magical power's growth; she might indeed match us within a year," Lilai slowly said, "But speaking of actual combat, this child is a true specialist at neglecting her studies, a Magic Girl who doesn't use Magic Cards, which is utterly unreasonable..."

"Speaking of specialists, isn't there one right here?"

Xizi Yue lightly mocked as she glanced sideways at the primly seated Udina.

Udina spoke noncommittally, "Bai Zini's potential is far greater than mine. Variations in magic wands are one in ten thousand, and the emergence of a magic umbrella type is the first of its kind, unrivaled in thousands of years."

Just then, the magic book placed on the table by Xizi Yue slightly trembled. Both Udina and Lilai turned their gaze and asked, "Is Xiao Ni in danger?"

"No, I had my phone tucked inside the magic book."

Xizi Yue said, reaching out to flip open the magic book on the table and took out the vibrating Huawei Nova13 phone from inside.

The two beside her cast a disdainful look at her, thinking to themselves, what kind of Magic Girl puts her phone inside a magic book? Ash's poor behavior management must have rubbed off from you; why are all Chinese Magic Girls alike?

Xizi Yue looked down at the message she had received, pausing for half a second.

Then, lifting her eyes from the phone screen, she said, "The Superhero Association's 'Qing Ya' wants us to visit their headquarters, saying there's some important matter to discuss with us."

"Wait a minute, you actually have contact with that weirdo?" Lilai noticed that Xizi Yue was checking WeChat instead of some work-related software.

Udina's eyes also showed a bit of disbelief. She shifted her gaze, staring intently at Xizi Yue's profile.

Qing Ya was notorious worldwide as a superhero.

Especially in China, Qing Ya's image is akin to a mediocre artist who had dabbled in marijuana, and criticizing him had gradually become a politically correct consensus.

If someone as popular as Xizi Yue were to be exposed for maintaining a private contact with Qing Ya, her fandom might vanish overnight by seventy to eighty percent, directly jeopardizing the operations of the Chinese Magical Girl Alliance branch.

"Why can't I have his contact?"

Xizi Yue typed on her phone, her bangs shadowing her profile, leaving the other two only able to see the two bun-style hairdos on her head.

"Did the upper management want you to contact him?" Lilai speculated.

"No." Xizi Yue paused briefly, cheeks flushing slightly as she said expressionlessly, "Embarrassingly enough... but... I am his fan."

As her words fell, the entire room's atmosphere seemed to darken momentarily. The three pumpkin-shaped floating chandeliers controlled by Lilai lost their brilliance in the sky, regaining their orange glow only after two or three seconds.

She took a deep breath and after a moment, questioned, "Are you joking?"

"Why would I joke?" said Xizi Yue, "Are you going or not? If not, I'll go alone and later relay to you whatever he tells me."

With that, she rose from the table.

Udina spoke up, "Of course we're going. The Alliance isn't yours to dictate alone." She paused, "Also, I must tell you something."

"What is it?" Xizi Yue glanced at her.

Udina looked her straight in the eyes and used the warning she had once given to Ash, now directed at the strongest Magic Girl in the world.

"Watch your image. Your actions might not only put you in trouble, but also affect the public image of the Alliance."

"Okay," Xizi Yue nodded lightly, "Let's go. Qing Ya is waiting for us."

With that, she walked out of the brightly lit classroom with the other two, stepping into the corridor. Moonlight flowed like mercury on the ground, and tonight's night was beautiful.
