Chapter 98 The villains are the ones who have the most exhaustion.
Midnight,
After finishing her daily live-streamed lessons, Su Tianqing sat at her desk flipping through the secret manual, her fox-like eyes fixed on the task page, quite troubled by the current situation.
[Task Refresh]
[Critical Incident: Magical Girl's Revitalization Plan]
[Reward: Hidden page of the Mystic Codex Shop unlocked]
The task description is very simple, so simple that it consists of only one line:
[To prevent the magical girls from falling into a depressed state]
"This is bad...this situation..." the villainous fox muttered to himself.
Su Tianqing was always clear about her own role as the villain.
Being the leader of an evil organization in a classic wuxia story is a job that really tests your mental fortitude.
Not only do you have to find fault with the protagonist, but you also have to watch the protagonist suddenly unleash their full power, and you'll also be driven half to death by the arrogant subordinates.
Although I am not the leader of an evil organization, nor do I have any arrogant subordinates, and I haven't seen the protagonist unleash their full power yet, I still feel very tired.
"Being a villain is so hard."
Fox sighed.
This fox is the one who's most tired, okay!
Evil organizations only need to destroy the world, while villainous magical girls have much more to consider.
You can't let the righteous side lose too badly, you can't lose too badly yourself, and you also have to consider your companions' feelings...
"Fortunately, the cats and rabbits are quite obedient," Su Tianqing muttered to herself.
Not long ago, in today's spot-the-difference mission, the two villainous accomplices put on a perfect solo defense mission—
Hellcat single-cut hyacinth, Cheshire rabbit single-cut iris.
The effect was so good, almost too good.
Even the Secret Codex was so anxious that it issued a critical mission, using hidden rewards to motivate itself to appease the magical girls.
But ultimately, isn't it because the three of them are too weak? Su Tianqing thought to herself with certainty.
The Hellcat, brimming with magic, and themselves were already enough to put Hyacinth and the others in a tough fight, not to mention the Cheshire Rabbit that's now added to the mix.
"This can't go on," the golden fox thought to herself, arms crossed.
Today's nitpicking has laid bare the current extreme imbalance in combat power.
Fortunately, he had announced the start of the battle in advance, inviting Hyacinth and the other two to come and fight every day, which was also to prevent them from becoming depressed again like before.
We can't keep summoning monsters and letting things fizzle out like before! This villain has to step up!
Starting tomorrow, I will personally train the magical girls!
After making up her mind, Su Tianqing looked at the next task.
In addition to the life-threatening events, the Codex also prepared a whole new chain of quests:
[Task Chain: 1. Understanding the magical girls' combat abilities]
Assess the magical girls' combat capabilities and adjust strategies accordingly.
[Reward: 1000 Divine Stones, already obtained]
See, doesn't this mission perfectly align with my actions today?
Did you foresee that I would encounter this predicament today?
Su Tianqing didn't pay much attention to these things, focusing her attention on the second task in the task chain:
[Quest Chain: 2. Magical Girl Special Training]
The magical girls' fighting abilities urgently need to be improved, otherwise the villains' activities cannot continue.
[Grants a magical girl a new form, 0/1]
[Reward: 1000 Divine Stones, unlocks the fourth page of the Mystic Codex Shop]
Hmm...
Upon seeing the words "new form," Su Tianqing immediately closed the secret manual, turned off the lamp, and burrowed into bed.
Never mind! I'm too tired today, I'll think about these things tomorrow!
Goodnight, world!
……
Meanwhile, in the Huatianli residential area.
Nan Xiaofeng walked back to the bedroom from the bathroom and looked at the girl who was leaning against the headboard staring blankly at her phone screen.
Karin, her classmate and magical girl companion.
She was injured today, and although Nightingale healed her injuries with healing magic, Nan Xiaofeng was worried about letting her go back alone, so he let Hua Ling stay at his house.
Just like when we first met.
"Get some rest, Karin."
"I...I'll watch one more chapter, then I'll go to sleep."
Hua Ling answered blankly, her eyes still fixed on her phone screen.
Like a student who failed an exam and stayed up studying until midnight.
"There's no need to be so serious. Don't we have special training tomorrow? Besides, you're injured."
Nan Xiaofeng said helplessly.
She knew what Karin was looking at—a magical girl training program that Bai Ling had copied for her before, produced by the Astral Library.
Seeing that Hua Ling still intended to watch the video, Nan Xiaofeng sighed helplessly and turned over to lie down on the bed.
Then, glancing at the training video on Hana Rin's screen, she said softly:
"It's not your fault today, Karin. That Cheshire Rabbit's invisibility magic is very advanced and very effective against you."
"I know, but I also have a lot of problems myself."
Hua Ling nodded gently.
"I didn't immediately distance myself from Cheshire Rabbit. Instead, I figured that with Nightingale's help, my magic shield should be able to withstand her attacks."
"I just didn't expect..."
Hua Ling thinks she'll dream about being hit in the face by a pink bunny hammer tonight.
After a pause, Nan Xiaofeng glanced at the video content on Hua Ling's screen again.
The wheat-colored magical girl is demonstrating how to efficiently unleash a magic cannon, while simultaneously demonstrating the technique of casting a magic shield at the same time.
"...Speaking of which,"
After staring at the screen for a while, Nan Xiaofeng spoke up.
"How is Mu Yao? Is she alright?"
"Mu Yao..."
The two exchanged a glance and remained silent.
In today's battle against Xin Yuehu and the other two, Lin Muyao—or rather, Nightingale—fully demonstrated her excellent support and spellcasting abilities.
If it weren't for Mu Yao, Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling felt that they would probably have been beaten half to death by the cats and rabbits today.
"Although Mu Yao is a newcomer, I feel she has quite a bit of talent," Nan Xiaofeng nodded and said.
Hua Ling bit her lip lightly, her face expressionless, but she was still somewhat unwilling.
Although he hadn't been older than Lin Muyao by much, compared to Muyao's growth rate, he always felt like he was being left behind.
"Forget it, let's not worry about it too much. Let's just listen to Bai Ling's advice during tomorrow's special training!"
"I'm going to sleep now. Karin, you should get some rest too."
After saying that, Nan Xiaofeng crawled into bed, turned over, and went to sleep.
Hua Ling glanced at the back of the girl's head beside her, then at the video that had already moved on to the next segment, and sighed silently.
He wasn't looking at the training plan Bai Ling had obtained from the Astral Plane; instead, he was looking at the instructional courses produced by the Mountain City Heroes Association.
Written and filmed by the still-serving magical girl [Mugi], it is specifically designed to help firepower-type magical girl newcomers like Karin.
The course is divided into two sessions. The first session covers some techniques for casting protective and mobile magic, while the second session focuses on enhancing firepower.
Watching the wheat-colored magical girl on the screen unleash her dazzling and diverse fire magic, Karin deeply felt her own naiveté when it came to magical girls.
To become a capable magical girl and to continue protecting Sister Tianqing and the others, I need to continue training.
"I'm going to sleep now, goodnight."
"Okay, goodnight."
Nan Xiaofeng's muffled voice came from under the covers, and Hua Ling turned off her phone and crawled into bed.
Just as the girl was about to fall asleep, a faint scent of gardenias wafted from her pillow.
Hua Ling suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the gold-striped socks on the edge of the bed.
Ah... what is that...?
Hua Ling glanced back at Nan Xiaofeng's head, as if she had made up her mind, and reached out to pinch the sock.
The fabric is delicate, retaining the scent of gardenias and the magic of the stars.
"..."
Tonight, the sound of the waves at the Chengdu Water Pavilion Harbor is particularly pleasant to hear.
