Li Hua, an adolescent human with a kind heart who met an untimely demise, much like most protagonists in system-transmigration novels, was unexpectedly recruited by the Space-Time Administration af...
Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Tell me, why?
Actually, I just arrived.
Bruce wanted to say this to save some face for the self-respecting boys, but at this moment the great Batman had put most of his energy into suppressing the laughter that was about to burst out of his throat at any time, so he was one step slower than the impatient boy next to him.
"We came when Tim tried to transform with his staff. We saw him rushing forward with his head down, and we thought something was wrong." Benjamin replied, then protested, "And Li Hua, what's your question? Why are you asking Bruce and not me?"
Jason: "That's a good question. When you get home, you should wear a skirt in front of your parents too."
Fortunately, Bruce didn't see him wearing a magical girl dress, otherwise he would have sailed to Blüdhaven by now.
Benjamin: "No matter what, it won't be as exciting as me going out every night to fight crime and enjoy being a mom without telling them. If my parents were presented with two buttons—one showing the truth I've just told them, and the other showing that I'm a cross-dresser or am LGBT—and asked to choose which one to make a reality, they'd hesitate and press the button for the latter option."
His psychological endurance has grown explosively since he came into this world. Is this what the old people mean when they say, "People naturally become mature after becoming parents"?
Li Hua, Jason, and Benjamin have been together for so long that they have long understood that they both have a talkative nature and like to say weird things and make jokes.
After discovering that everyone around them shared their same penchant for chatter, their age, and numerous other similarities, the three of them quickly bonded. They were no longer the initially polite, unfamiliar pairing they had been at the beginning. Simply put, the pretense had dropped, and each one's true nature had been revealed.
This made No. 666, who was originally quite talkative to Li Hua, become even more silent when he went deep into the gathering place of human teenagers. Li Hua sometimes wondered if he was blocked by No. 666 and was just calling it.
They even learned some of each other's language arts, but so far no one is willing to claim these language arts. Because no one wants to admit that it is their own language art, they firmly believe that it is just a poor imitation of their own exquisite language art and has not learned the essence of their own language art at all.
"Tim, if you want, I can pretend I didn't see it." Bruce was the only one who remembered to comfort Tim during the three boys' childish quarrel. "I understand. You were just testing Li Hua's magic wand."
The result is obvious. As the source of Tim's embarrassment, Bruce's comfort not only fails to cool down his feverish face, but also adds fuel to the fire.
Because at that time he really wanted to transform into a magical girl.
At this moment in this chaotic room, the only thing that made Tim feel warm was the ice ghost cub that sprayed small ice crystals on his head after noticing that his body temperature suddenly rose and his body surface turned red.
How ironic.
Tim held the sweet ice ghost cub in his arms and rubbed it, then decided to go back to equip Curry to grab a few more bat darts for the cubs to grind their teeth, completely forgetting that these cute and sweet cubs almost scared him to death before.
Awkward as it may be, I still have to report what needs to be reported: "Jason has a talent for magic."
"Really?" Bruce looked at his second son and said, "This is a special talent. Do you plan to develop it in the future? I can contact the magic department to find a mentor for you."
Jason: "You don't look surprised at all." Did you know this a long time ago?
Bruce said with a helpless smile, "Because a miracle of resurrection from the dead is standing in front of me."
It is perfectly reasonable to say that a person who was dead for almost a year and then resurrected and crawled out of the ground has magical talents. What's so surprising about that?
Jason: "I learned I had acquired an extremely rare gift. I clearly wanted to share this surprise with my family and friends. It should have been doubly joyful. However, why are everyone around me calmer than me?"
Li Hua slapped his thigh and said, "Why are you learning chanting for nothing? White magic! Send this guy to learn white magic!"
Tim: "White Magic isn't for nothing! Show some respect for White Magic and don't be so hasty in deciding Jason's future major!"
Benjamin: "Do you have red magic? I think red magic matches Jason's color scheme."
Jason: "You think your Sorting Hat sorts the houses by color? Does that mean Batman has to learn the dark arts..."
etc.
At this moment, Jason finally remembered that when he returned to the Batcave yesterday and Benjamin brought back the Batman left in Blüdhaven, he took the initiative to bring up the topic of the bug wand with Bruce, who was still in Batman costume, and the purpose of his bringing up this topic.
He just wanted to see if Bruce would transform, but Bruce stopped him with a "Did you have fun with Deathstroke?". So many things happened afterwards that Jason forgot about this harmless little prank.
He can even reclaim his foreshadowing after eight chapters, he is worthy of being Batman!
Now that the opportunity is right, can Bruce still escape?
Thinking of letting his father try to activate the buff, Jason said, "Li Hua's new wand can transform, which can to some extent solve the disadvantage of losing the buff due to damage to the suit on the battlefield. However, this wand is useless if it is out of hand. We originally planned to tie a rope to it, but we are still worried about losing it. Do you have any good ideas?"
Batman doesn't understand magic. If he tells Bruce about the spell principles and bugs of the magic wand, he may not be able to do anything.
But if you talk to Batman about adding physical peripherals to the magic wand and how to prevent it from slipping out of his hands during combat, which are physically solvable problems, he has plenty of strength and means.
He held out his hand to Li Hua: "Let me take a look, maybe I can find some room for improvement."
Li Hua looked at Jason with some panic, like any child who was overwhelmed by the warmth of their parents when visiting a friend's house. "Is this... too much trouble for you?"
The actual Li Hua: Jason, you actually just want to play a prank on your dad, right?
Tim, who was standing near Li Hua, put his arm around Li Hua's shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'm just taking a look."
Tim: Jason, you did a great job! If Bruce transforms later, I'll be the first one to take a picture. Don't worry, Li Hua. Since you're pretending not to know, you'll be fine.
So Li Hua gave the Star Wand to Bruce.
Bruce lowered his head and took a look at the extremely simple-shaped wand. Within five seconds, at least ten ways to prevent it from slipping out of the user's hand through physical means came to his mind. He was about to talk to Li Hua about it, but when he looked up, he found that the four boys were all staring at him.
"What's wrong?"
"No," Tim said, "It's just a pity that you don't have the talent to become a magic boy."
Bruce:.......So you made such a big circle just to see me transform, right?
Combined with Tim's actions when he entered the room and Jason's words that the staff could transform, if Bruce still couldn't guess what these boys wanted to do, he would no longer have to be a detective.
Although he was speechless, Bruce had raised three children after all, so he was not angry at such a childish prank. He just sighed in his heart, "He's still a child after all," and stuffed the magic wand into the collar of Benjamin's clothes at lightning speed.
Although he also saw Jason's intention, he didn't say a word. Only Benjamin, who happened to be standing next to Bruce, said:???
After Benjamin knew that this staff could transform people, whenever this BUG staff appeared, he would stand as far away from Li Hua and Jason to avoid being attacked by his good brothers.
But who would have thought that the one who attacked him was not his good brother, but Bruce, the combat form of Azmis?
He had never imagined that the person who had just scolded him would actually play such a prank that only children could play. Before he could react, he was enveloped by the light from the transformation magic wand.
Benjamin lifted up his clothes to shake out the staff, but the staff quickly dissipated in the green light. It was not until he appeared in a light green magical girl's battle suit with crystal gems that it reappeared in the lining of Benjamin's clothes.
As soon as he transformed, Benjamin started scrabbling over the lining of his clothes like a monkey scratching lice, trying to get that damn magic wand out. At the same time, he didn't forget to accuse Bruce: "Why, Bruce? Why me? I didn't do anything to you!"
Bruce rambled on calmly, "As I just told you, you need to stay alert at all times. I was just testing your reaction speed."
Benjamin: "Then can you look me in the eyes and say it again?" The corners of your mouth are harder to suppress than the dial of my Omnitrix that pops up after it is fully charged!
Bruce coughed lightly and had to tell the truth: "I didn't know the wand worked on you."
He really just stuffed it in casually, hoping to get closer to the kids through a harmless little game. He had never imagined that Benjamin could actually transform. Azmis and Dr. Contradiction had never mentioned Benjamin's magical talent. Bruce had always thought Benjamin was a tech geek.
Speaking of which, what exactly is going on with Li Hua? Is it so common for a little boy to pick up two magical boys in 48 hours and have both magical talents and secret identities as righteous people?
Li Hua: "Why are Ben's transformation effects and skirt both green?"
No. 666: "Maybe that guy made several sets of clothes in different colors, and Benjamin accidentally activated something just now to release clothes of other colors."
Jason nodded. "After all, it's a staff a magical girl uses to transform, so a few more outfits makes perfect sense."
Benjamin: "Stop arguing about whether it's reasonable or not, and help me get this wand out. This collar is too tight and I can't pull it open by myself. It seems to have grown on my neck!"
Tim: "How about you shake it so the staff falls out from under your skirt? You're wearing pumpkin pants, so there's no risk of exposure. Besides, we're all men here."
Benjamin: "I tried, but it's no use! It's like the suit is welded to me!"
"I'll pull your collar up, and you squat down."
Bruce came forward and tried to rescue Benjamin from the entanglement in the clothes, but he and Benjamin exerted force, and Benjamin was grabbed by the lace at the collar and lifted up in the air like a cat.
Bruce: “…”
Benjamin: “…”
No. 666, before they could ask, spoke up. "I really don't know what's going on. This was made after get off work, and they definitely didn't upload a formal design draft or manual. This thing only passed safety testing, not usability testing."
"Wait a minute, I know why!" Li Hua slapped his head. "This magic wand was made by the maker for his six-year-old daughter. It was also based on traditional, serious magical girls, so it must be green, healthy and uplifting. There's absolutely no way there's a stripping option!"
Benjamin: "Okay, I understand the principle. So what should I do now?"
"There are currently three known ways to remove this bugged wand's transformation effect."
Li Hua raised three fingers in front of Benjamin.
"The first method is to cut off the transmission of mana, that is, to disconnect the power to the wand. But Benjamin is using magic for the first time, and he's a beginner who uses magic passively. He's never felt his own mana, let alone cut off the transmission of mana. This method is not suitable."
"The second method is to deactivate the magic wand by physically distancing yourself from it. The BUG wand is now sealed to Benjamin by his clothes, which he can't remove, so this method won't work either."
"The third and final kind—"
After Li Hua's analysis and elimination, only one of the three fingers remained.
Li Hua: "If you wear it until you run out of magic power, the transformation magic will automatically be lifted."

The author has something to say: This chapter gives me a sense of Bruce: I wanted to play ball with the kids to close the distance, but accidentally, one of the kids fell into a mud ditch. Feeling guilty, wanting to laugh, and embarrassed, I pulled the muddy kid out of the mud pit.
