Chapter 114 Magical Girls - As Always
"—Drink it!!"
"BOOM!!"
In a certain urban area in northern Chengdu, the fierce battle is nearing its end.
Hyacinth deftly dodged the attack, leaped high into the air, and slashed with all her might with her greatsword!
The Black Wolf Monster fell to the ground after this leaping strike, letting out a wail before falling silent.
"Hit!"
Hyacinth somersaulted and landed beside the fallen monster, gripping her greatsword tightly, watching its every move warily.
Fifteen minutes ago, while I was in special training, I received a message that the association had detected the aura of astral magic in a commercial area and immediately summoned the magical girls to investigate.
Subsequently, when the three arrived at the scene, the Black Wolf Monster had already appeared on the empty street, and a battle was about to break out.
"This guy can take a beating."
After confirming that the monster had completely lost its vitality, Hyacinth strolled over and kicked its rear end.
The black wolf did not suddenly jump into the second stage as before. Instead, after a powerless howl, it turned into magical particles and scattered, leaving only a mess of rubble and broken stones.
"hyacinth!"
Not far away, irises and nightingales landed together, waving towards the hyacinths.
Nan Xiaofeng raised her hand in response.
"That was done really quickly this time!"
The white ferret also flew to Nan Xiaofeng's side and patted her shoulder approvingly.
"This guy is pretty good. I didn't expect you to be able to take care of Hyacinth so quickly."
"Hehe... Everyone's support was really good, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to take it down so quickly."
Hyacinth chuckled and scratched the back of its head.
Iris covered her mouth and chuckled softly. The magic cannon beside her transformed back into a wand, floating behind her. She glanced at the messy road around her and said softly:
"However, this time the monster is only damaging the road surface."
"Yes, just like the monsters summoned by Heart Moon Fox before, they have no intention of causing large-scale damage to buildings." Hyacinth nodded.
This is also the method the three use to distinguish between wild monsters and monsters summoned by Xin Yuehu—wild monsters cause indiscriminate destruction, while monsters summoned by Xin Yuehu have not caused a single casualty incident so far.
"The purpose of Xin Yuehu's actions is as unpredictable as ever."
Bai Ling said thoughtfully,
"Besides, the monsters she's summoning lately are getting stronger and stronger, so we need to intensify our training and not fall behind!"
""oh!""
The three responded in unison.
...
Today is the usual special training session.
The little incident caused by the Black Wolf monster did not interrupt the special training plan. The three of them went to the training ground contacted by the association and rearranged the isolation magic, casting the magic on the training dummy again.
Hyacinth sat on the rooftop terrace not far away, drinking a bottle of warm water kept warm by magic to replenish her fluids, while chatting with the white ferret elf beside her.
"How are you feeling today? Has the Starry Night Shadow put any strain on your body?" Bai Ling asked with concern.
Hyacinth shook her head.
"No, I don't feel anything at all. In fact, I feel that my normal strength is even stronger than before."
"I see... It seems that the Star Shadow was not forcibly awakened through faith, but rather it was a natural progression."
Bai Ling nodded in satisfaction.
Hyacinth herself didn't quite understand either. After putting down the water glass, she stared at her hands for a long time, still unable to comprehend why she had suddenly transformed into the Shadow of Stars.
It was probably Tianqing's words that moved her.
Thinking of this, Nan Xiaofeng couldn't help but recall the message Tian Qing had sent him that morning, which was full of concern and warmth.
At that time, I made up my mind to protect Sister Tianqing, which is why I was able to receive the blessing of the stars and deeply understand that "protection and faith are the true meaning of a magical girl".
A happy smile appeared on the girl's face.
Sister Tianqing and Sister Jiayu invited him to go out next weekend, and Nan Xiaofeng suddenly felt full of anticipation for the future.
"Anyway, let's finish today's special training first!"
Hyacinth stood up, full of confidence.
Bai Ling nodded with great satisfaction.
As expected of the magical girl I've chosen! With unwavering faith and the successful awakening of the Starry Shadow, her future is truly bright.
Just as Bai Ling was happily imagining the future, a magical communication from the sky suddenly entered her mind, startling her.
"Whoa?!"
"Bai Ling? What's wrong?"
Hearing a strange cry from the stargazer beside them, the three magical girls turned to look at each other at the same time.
"N-nothing, just received a magical communication message."
Bai Ling quickly pulled out a glowing stone slab from her magical space.
Nan Xiaofeng tilted her head curiously to look.
I had heard from Bai Ling that the thing in her hand was called the Divine Scripture Stone, an artifact etched onto the Astral Stone using magic.
Stargazers use the sacred stones as a tool for communication and contact, and they can also store a certain amount of information, similar to a mobile phone or tablet in the human world.
The white sable elf tapped the stone slab that resembled a cell phone a few times in a serious manner, and soon a magical light screen appeared, revealing the face of another cat elf.
"...Oh, the connection was quick this time, Bai Ling," the cat spirit said in surprise.
"Senior Flower!"
Bai Ling responded respectfully, and the three magical girls immediately understood.
On the other side of the light screen is Bai Ling's senior stargazer, who assists Bai Lili's team in Shanghai and is one of the stargazers with whom Bai Ling has a close relationship.
"Hyacinth is here too. Good afternoon, Miss Hyacinth."
"Good afternoon," Nan Xiaofeng replied politely.
The cat's gaze returned to Bai Ling.
"Senior, what's the matter with you looking for me?" Bai Ling asked curiously.
"It's all because of the astral rift yesterday," the tabby cat said irritably.
"I saw yesterday's monitoring report on the Astral Jellyfish. The Hero Association rated it as Pleiades Plus One, which is almost as high as Spica. As a result, the monster threat level in Rongcheng has been raised by one level."
"Unbelievable..."
Bai Ling felt a wave of fear wash over her.
Using constellations to classify astral monsters, with Antares being the lowest, followed by Pleiades and Spica, is a common identification method used in both the astral realm and the human world.
However, the highest level of astral monsters that have appeared so far is Spica, and Hyacinth usually fights Antares, with the stronger ones being Pleiades I and II. She has never seen a powerful monster of Spica level.
The Horned Serpent also has another more widely known name – the Witch.
"That's why the Star Realm is preparing to send another stargazer to Rongcheng, to develop a magical girl independently from you, Bai Ling, ready to assist your operations at any time."
The tabby cat continued.
"I heard that this person was chosen through an emergency meeting of the Star Realm. Although they are newcomers like you, their test scores are quite good."
"That's great!"
Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief.
With the threat level in Rongcheng raised and the pressure from Xinyuehu, it's quite good to have a new stargazer to help share the burden.
The task is simply to independently develop a magical girl...
"Senior Xiaohua, do you know this newcomer?"
"How could I possibly know that the people directly appointed by the Star God Council are people like us at the bottom of the ranks could understand?"
The tabby cat rolled its eyes and replied.
"I'm just letting you know in advance, so you don't run into any problems due to conflicting information. Alright, I see Hyacinth and the others are still training, so I won't disturb you any longer. We can talk again another time."
Goodbye, senior!
The screen went out, and Bai Ling thoughtfully put the Divine Stone back into her magic space.
The stargazers and magical girls exchanged glances, each with their own thoughts.
New stargazers are coming.
And... a brand new magical girl.
"I'm kind of looking forward to it," the hyacinth murmured to herself.
