Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Magical Boy Part 1

Li Hua, 16, died at the age of 16.

Unlike the "Li Hua" who widely appears in English essays and has a colorful life, Li Hua's life is just like that of many students in his hometown, plain and boring, or even more boring.

After all, when the flowers of the motherland of the same age were still struggling in the examination hall, accompanied by black and white words, Li Hua's flower had already withered, accompanied by black and white photo paper.

Li Hua had no objection to his own death. When he was told that he was really dead this time, he even felt a little relieved.

Unlike the pain he experienced in the past hospitalizations, he was simply doing his homework when he suddenly felt very sleepy. His eyes closed and went dark, and he never opened them again.

It can be said that this perfectly fulfilled Li Hua's annual birthday wish of "If I must die, I hope it will be painless." Overall, he was quite satisfied. If there was a god who controlled death, he would definitely give it a five-star rating.

Perhaps the Jade Emperor or God or Jesus or some random deity thought that Li Hua's life was too boring, so they decided to give him some color of "life" after his death.

"Isn't this color a little too pink?"

Li Hua shook the dust off her pink skirt and complained.

"Other people who die receive abilities granted by the system that aren't incredibly cool, but at worst, they get a fire stick or something. Even if they can still open their eyes and move around after death, I should be content. I shouldn't ask for too much, but why did a man like me get a 'Magical Girl System'?"

This is not right, buddy, the gender is not right!

"Tsk, how many more times are you going to complain? And I'm not a magical girl system, and you know you're a man."

Li Hua’s personal system No. 666 said impatiently.

Those who achieve great things don't pay attention to small details. This is the ability I carefully selected for you. Tell me if it's strong enough and how quickly you can master it.

"You are strong, but there is something wrong with you, right?"

Li Hua put the antique-colored card in his left hand into his pocket, and used both hands to pull out the bird-beaked staff covered with green liquid from the corpse of the harmful beast, and said seriously.

"How come your magical girl system copied Clow Reed's idea? Did Clow Reed agree?"

Number 666: [He agreed. How else do you think we'd get these low-end, irrational Clow Cards? You possessed a talent for magic, but until your death, your physical limitations prevented you from using it. It's too late to start from scratch now. Until you fully adapt and learn to control the flow of magic within you without destroying yourself and dying again, you'll use this specially modified magical baby walker.]

Li Hua: "...Then why is my work uniform a skirt? Or a traditional magical girl's tutu? Oh my god, have you ever seen a 1.8-meter-tall magical girl?"

No. 666 replied as a matter of course: [So you are a magic boy.]

Li Hua: “…”

A daily question: Who trained this AI to have such a stubborn personality that it won’t stop until it kills people?

But shame overcame the awkwardness of not being able to respond. "Seriously, can't you just change the 'The cuter I dress, the stronger my overall buff'? Why do I have to dress like this? Can't men's clothing be cute?"

No. 666: [It can't be changed, because the designer of this buff used his six-year-old daughter's aesthetic standards as the standard. Now that the designer has passed away, no colleague will be willing to modify his code if it still works. If you really want to get rid of this buff, first make yourself strong enough to crush enemy droids without it.]

Li Hua: "How long will that take..."

No. 666: [If you continue to be distracted by talking to me on the battlefield and fail to notice the other ugly monster trying to sneak attack you 150 meters behind you, then you don't have to wait any longer.]

"careful!!"

Li Hua quickly picked up his staff to block, but the monster, which was so ugly that it could go to the hospital to induce vomiting in food poisoning patients just by its appearance, had already flashed in front of him, shocking Li Hua so much that his palm was numb.

But who shouted that just now?

No. 666 answered this question: [You've been taking too long. A passerby walking his dog is coming.]

The second beast that rushed out was stronger than the first. Li Hua was not prepared to fight it head-on. He rolled on the ground to avoid the sweep of its poisonous tail. He caught a glimpse of the vague figure of the kind passerby above the pit where he was standing. "Go! This is none of your business!"

The figures of passersby disappeared from the pit. They must have been scared and ran away or went to call for help. In any case, no one would intervene in this battle in the short term.

Li Hua picked up the staff and smashed it again.

No. 666 couldn't bear it any longer: [Do you still remember that you are a magic boy? Where is your magic? Why do you have to fight it in close combat?]

Li Hua: "It doesn't give me a chance!"

Chanting an incantation during such a tight attack time? He might as well just chant the Great Compassion Mantra to himself to save himself.

Number 666's electronic voice sounded somewhat disappointed: [Have you forgotten that you're currently buffed? You won't die or be crippled after taking two hits. I'm letting you practice, not commit suicide. Are you saving your spellcasting for when you encounter a more dangerous enemy if you don't practice it now?]

Li Hua was still hesitant. The monster's claws looked extremely sharp. Even if he didn't die from a single hit, it would still hurt...

No. 666: [You can choose between a few pains now and not dying later, or no pain now and dying later.]

Then we have to choose the first one, he hasn’t lived enough.

Li Hua dodged the monster's claws again, leaned against the pit wall, took a deep breath, and began to recall the steps of the spell: "The dark power hidden..."

Number 666 was completely disgusted: "That's the spell that summons the Perfect Staff. What you should do now is take out the cards and tap them with the staff while reading the card's name. For example, if the card you just put in is [Time], use the card to stop this monster and then draw it."

Li Hua had no basic knowledge of magic, but fortunately he was very obedient and immediately took out the cards as No. 666 said.

Before he could touch the card, the monster rushed in front of him. Li Hua tried to bite the bullet and take a hit, but saw that the monster was knocked over by a huge force from the side and hit the metal wheel next to it heavily.

No. 666: ???

Li Hua: ???

Pause the casting, let me see what's going on?

"Ahem.....what are you still standing there for? Run!"

Where the monster had been standing, a boy with brown hair and green eyes was standing bent over. He looked about the same age as Li Hua. It was obvious that he had just rushed down the almost 70-degree slope and knocked the monster away with his shoulder.

The boy pulled Li Hua to the edge of the pit, folded his hands together, and motioned Li Hua to step on his hands to climb out of the pit.

"Hurry up, I'll cover you and you go find someone."

“…” How can this be possible!

Li Hua raised his stick angrily, turned his waist, and with an unstandard golf swing, he hit the stinger's tail that was trying to attack the boy hard, causing the metal wheel to shake violently.

He came here to save people, how could he let the people he was protecting save him?

Following the principle of striking while it's weak, Li Hua picked up his staff, which had become a melee hoe weapon, stepped on the monster's poisonous tail, and started to hoe its head madly.

You can learn magic at any time. It would be unethical not to do something when someone goes into danger to save you!

Even No. 666, who always had the mentality of an instructor, didn't say anything this time.

The kind-hearted person who came to save him was almost implicated and lost his life. Thinking of this, Li Hua became even more ruthless and forgot all feelings when he picked up the hoe, and the monster died.

The boy who stumbled into the scene was stunned, but instead of being frightened by the violent scene, he admired it and said, "Cool, man!"

He speaks English.

Li Hua, whose portable system had a built-in translator, finally realized this. As soon as he arrived in this world, he started leveling up in this natural arena at the bottom of the pit. Now he finally figured out where he was.

......Anyway, it should be in Europe and the United States, it doesn’t matter which country it is.

Li Hua was just about to have a good chat with this brave and courageous peer when the wheel-shaped metal object behind him suddenly began to tremble violently, and a dazzling light and a powerful suction force burst out from the center.

The suction was ridiculously strong. Even though Li Hua had the BUFF, he was still unable to resist it despite his best efforts, and his entire arm was swallowed.

Luckily, the arm that died was the one holding the staff!

For the first time, No. 666's tone grew serious: "Spacetime rift fluctuations detected. Host is about to begin spacetime teleportation. Prepare for landing and combat. Your life or death will depend on your luck."

"No, I haven't even finished the tutorial yet! I don't want to die yet! Is there anything I can do to save me?"

Li Hua wailed and used his remaining hand to hold onto the wheel-shaped metal structure that had begun to collapse, trying to make one last struggle.

On the bright side, at least the brother who bravely stepped forward to help others is far enough away that he won't be affected.

But Li Hua was too happy too early.

The boy, who hadn't been affected by the gravity and seemed to be reaching into his pocket to call the police, rushed over without hesitation. When Li Hua's hand almost let go and fell into the ball of light, he grabbed him tightly and said, "Hey, I'm here to save you!"

Li Hua and No. 666 were both shocked.

Aren't you so reckless, buddy? Even with my buff, I can't handle the suction force, and you're charging right at me? Can you hold me back?

The answer is obviously no. This wise and brave kind-hearted passerby was just an ordinary human teenager. After swaying for 1.5 seconds, he and Li Hua fell into the collapsed portal.

Ahh ...

The last thing Li Hua could do was to protect the man's head and torso to prevent him from being cut by the metal fragments on his side.

Together, they fell into the chaotic turbulence of time and space, heading towards an unknown destination.

......

"Ben? Ben Tennyson? Oi! Benjamin Tennyson? Benjamin Kirby Tennyson—your mother is calling you home for dinner!"

Fifteen minutes later, an Asian woman in slippers followed a barking old German shepherd to the edge of the pit and saw the metal ruins at the bottom of the pit with billowing black smoke.

The woman patted the dog's head and slid down the steep slope into the pit. She marveled at the freshly-formed tracks at the bottom. "What kind of luck is this? Just taking a walk and I'm about to encounter a teleporter explosion? But thankfully, the passage was fully opened and transported everyone away... That should be considered lucky, right?"

"Woo woo woo!" The dog on the cliff was digging the soil anxiously. It really wanted to go down to check on the safety of its little master, but it was afraid that it would not be able to come up after going down, and would not be able to continue looking for someone to come over.

"Ouch! Don't get down. You're not a puppy anymore. A fall would be a disaster."

The woman exclaimed, stepped lightly on the steep slope with her toes as if she were walking on flat ground, and returned to the uneasy dog ​​in a few steps. She picked up the leash that was covered with dust and mud and patted the dog's head.

"Let's go back and talk to your masters about this. Don't worry about your little master. The Omnitrix didn't have time to be returned to the factory for repair when he went out, so he still has it in his pocket."
