Chapter 35: I’m Going to Die!
The three Magical Girls were sent away, and Luo Shuangyue quickly ran to the side to解除变身 (de-transform).
If she didn’t解除变身 now, she would really start to盛放 (bloom).
When she came out this time, she had already changed her clothes, so her appearance didn’t change much after解除变身.
This outfit was actually quite restored, but it was a bit too thin, making it hard for Luo Shuangyue to bear in the summer heat.
And the deadly high heels; they were fine while flying, but when standing and walking on the ground, Luo Shuangyue was using all her strength to avoid falling.
About an hour later, Siam and Xia Mo returned to the park almost simultaneously.
After the previous two rounds of special training, Xia Mo’s mastery of rapid flight had improved significantly; after a hundred laps, she was only slightly out of breath.
Siam, on the other hand, was experiencing this kind of training for the first time. Although she had only run ten laps, flying in the air was completely different from running on the ground.
After those ten laps, this catgirl’s legs were starting to weaken.
As for Linglan, the poor child had barely flown halfway; by the time she finished, the food would probably be cold.
“You’re back? Come sit here and tell me what you’re good at and which direction you want to develop,” said Luo Shuangyue, sitting under the shade of a tree on a bench, holding a book and playing the role of a literature girl. She looked up and waved at Xia Mo and Siam.
Senior Bai Ye seemed less sharp than just now? Xia Mo curiously observed Luo Shuangyue.
While Xia Mo was still wondering in her heart, Siam already asked the question aloud.
“Senior, you seem gentler than just now?”
“Gentle? I hope you can think the same later,” Luo Shuangyue smiled slightly at Siam.
Siam suddenly felt as if she had said something wrong; the expression on Senior Bai Ye’s face was terrifying!
It was like a devil teacher suddenly planning to double the difficulty and amount of the after-school assignment.
So scary!
“Alright, come over quickly, don’t waste time.”
Siam was so close to falling over that the first one to explain their abilities became Xia Mo.
Her strengths were no different from other Magical Girls; at most, while other Magical Girls used white or red magic cannons, she used purple ones.
Very ordinary, almost lacking any distinctive features.
“You’ve already stepped one foot into the Initial Bloom stage, but if you keep struggling to find your path, you’ll be stuck here forever.” After listening to Xia Mo’s explanation, Luo Shuangyue straightforwardly offered her opinion.
Xia Mo’s accumulated strength was actually sufficient; what she was lacking was self-exploration. As long as she couldn’t find her own path for a day, Xia Mo couldn’t break through her bottleneck.
“Why did you become a Magical Girl? Without a strong desire, you can’t trigger a resonance with magical power.”
“…I became a Magical Girl because I want to be someone like Senior Bai Ye, going all out to protect those who tremble in fear during magical beast disasters, who can only hope for a Magical Girl to save them,” Xia Mo’s eyes flickered, and she blushed as she quietly replied.
Saying such things in front of someone she admired was a bit too embarrassing.
“That’s too broad. All Magical Girls want to protect. What you need to do now is think clearly about how you want to protect,” Luo Shuangyue nodded, realizing that Xia Mo was indeed too kind-hearted.
Moreover, the impression her mother left on Xia Mo was too profound; combined with everything, Xia Mo was practically a natural Magical Girl saint body.
It was no wonder she wasn’t chosen by a magical gem!
“I can’t help you in this aspect; every Magical Girl’s breakthrough is very subjective, but basically, they all break through during times of crisis.”
Luo Shuangyue had checked the information of Magical Girls above the Initial Bloom level through the resources from Polar Night. Out of ten, seven or eight couldn’t defeat their opponents, and as teammates fell one by one, they suddenly experienced a subjective breakthrough.
In simpler terms, it was about burning teammates; once the anger bar was filled, they broke through.
However, she couldn’t say this outright. Luo Shuangyue could only pat Xia Mo on the shoulder, encouraging her, and say, “You have decent talent. I hope you find your own path soon.”
“Living in my shadow is not a good thing.”
After dealing with Xia Mo, Siam was much simpler; this catgirl’s traits were quite distinct, and she would likely have no obstacles in breaking into Initial Bloom.
Such Magical Girls were relatively rare; they could break through more easily than others, but this ease came with a cost.
Their humanity could easily be eroded by their powers; the stronger they became, the easier it was to lose that humanity.
Currently, Siam only had a speech quirk, but as her strength grew, she would become more and more cat-like, eventually believing she was a cat.
“Your specialty lies in close combat; utilize your high agility to strike down enemies. I remember a Blooming Level Magical Girl named ‘Bastet’ from the Golden City in the desert; you could refer to her combat style.”
“Mm, meow.”
“I’ll arrange a special training course for you later. Alright, go take a rest; your calves are shaking,” Luo Shuangyue reached out and gently ruffled Siam’s head, secretly comparing the feel of Jiuye and Siam in her heart.
If we’re talking about the cat attribute, she actually thought Jiuye was a better fit; after all, Jiuye’s ears and tail were soft, giving a real cat feel.
While Siam was more of a mechanical cat; her ears were hard!
She completely lost the softness that a catgirl should have.
Another hour passed, and Xia Mo and Siam had already started their next round of training when Luo Shuangxing flopped back down lazily.
“I… I’m back!” After shouting this, the white-haired girl suddenly fell onto the grass, lying still like a dead fish, not moving at all.
Luo Shuangyue stepped over to Luo Shuangxing, squatted down, and poked the girl’s face, “Linglan, you can’t rest yet; there are still many training tasks ahead.”
“I’m going to die; I will definitely die!”
