Chapter 26 True Form and Magical Construction
The center of Fangting City is always brightly lit at night. Looking down from a high place, the neon lights and street lamps complement each other to form a river of light.
Delphinium leaned against the protective net on the rooftop of a high-rise building, looking at the incomplete blue disc in her hand with a dazed expression.
After several days of investigation, she had basically confirmed that this thing was some kind of pipe valve in the sewer. There was no doubt that since this object was found in the body of the cavity-dissolving beast, it meant that it had once lived in the sewer of this city.
But normally this is impossible. With the huge size of the cavity-type remnant beast, there are not many areas in the city sewers where it can pass smoothly. Obviously, it is quite difficult for it to find food in them, let alone hide all the time and not be noticed by anyone.
Unless there is some existence in the sewer that can provide it with food while hiding its tracks.
For example, the remnant beasts of the "Pupa" stage.
What happened in Fangting City in the two years since Tumi and the others left that even a pupa-level remnant could take root and build a nest? Cuiqiao had to pay attention to this issue. Combined with the urban legend of "the song in the sewer" that she had found on the Internet before, she had been searching everywhere for the possible pupa-level remnant in the past few nights.
Unfortunately, no results yet.
—“Delphinium?”
The girl's voice came from not far away.
Cuiqiao raised her head and saw Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang looking at her. Then she realized that she seemed to be daydreaming and it was already time for class.
The same rooftop and terrace have almost become her permanent teaching location. She only needs to send a notification on her mobile phone when she gets off work, and when both "students" arrive, she can start today's class.
"Nothing, just thinking about something."
After briefly explaining the reason for her trance, Delphinium stood up and walked towards the middle of the rooftop: "Since we are all here, let's get started. I should teach you some advanced things tonight."
"Advanced?" Lin Xiaolu showed some interest. "Are you going to talk about how to deal with the snake?"
"I think your advancement is a bit too ambitious." Xia Liang smiled helplessly.
"What I think has nothing to do with you, right?" Lin Xiaolu curled her lips.
The two started arguing as soon as they met, repeating their meaningless bickering. After walking a distance with Delphinium, she turned around, glanced around, and cleared her throat twice to signal them to stop and get to the point: "Let's get started. What we're going to talk about tonight is a very important ability for every magical girl, the magic power structure, or magic equipment for short."
"Oh!" The two magical girls responded enthusiastically and clapped their hands, accompanied by thoughts such as "Finally" and "This is it".
Kuei-ching paused for a moment, waiting for the applause from the two men to end, before continuing, "Regarding the magic suit, I have briefly introduced it to you before, but I will explain it in more detail this time."
"First, let me help you review. Every magical girl will master her own magic suit when her ability reaches the bud level. The magic suit is the manifestation of the magical girl's true self, so everyone's magic suit is different and unique. You should all remember this."
"As for the true form, it is a combination of the magic power and soul of the magical girl. Through training, the magic power is improved, and through spiritual thinking, the inspiration is strengthened. Finally, the seed of the heart is developed to make the two merge into one, forming one's true form."
"When a magical girl has formed her true form, her ability has reached the bud stage. From this stage on, the appearance of the magical girl will remain constant and will never change. At the same time, her magic power will grow explosively. Therefore, the bud stage is a very important step for a magical girl. When her ability reaches the bud stage, her combat power will be much different than before."
When Cuiqiao said this, Xia Liang couldn't help but look up and think, then he showed strong initiative, raised his hand and indicated that he wanted to ask a question.
"Ask." Kuiqi always felt that she was up to no good, but still raised her hand to signal.
After getting the permission, Xia Liang immediately asked with a smile: "So, little senior, did you reach the bud level at the age of 10?"
really.
Delphinium couldn't help but pull down her eyelids, feeling that she had adapted to Xia Liang's style.
"What weird questions are you asking in class?"
Before she could give an answer, Lin Xiaolu stood up first and said, "Show some respect to Senior Cuique!"
"Is this question strange?" Xia Liang looked innocent.
"You were obviously just making fun of her height..."
Lin Xiaolu wanted to expose Xia Liang's disguise, but realized something was wrong halfway through her words. She turned to look at Delphinium and found that Delphinium was indeed looking at her expressionlessly.
For a moment, she was neither sure what to say nor what to do.
"Hmm? Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I was just curious."
Xia Liang squinted his eyes and smiled: "After all, if you really enter the bud level at the age of 10, you are actually a very powerful genius, right?"
"Ah, speaking of which..." Lin Xiaolu, who had been frozen in place, finally came to her senses and looked at Delphinium with curiosity.
"No, I just look younger after my transformation."
Facing the two people's doubts, Delphinium remained expressionless and answered in a serious tone: "In terms of the age at which I became a magical girl, I am actually about the same age as you."
The rather cold reply obviously did not satisfy the other two magical girls, but she ignored the disappointed looks on their faces and stopped talking about age and height.
"Let's talk about the magic suit again."
She clapped her hands, signaling to return to the topic: "After the magical girl has her true form, the magic suit will naturally be born as a manifestation of her true form. It will become the most suitable weapon for you, even if you don't even know how to use it when you get it."
"The innate potential of magic costumes varies. Some magic girls' magic costumes are naturally stronger than others. There will be special evaluation items for this during the national assessment, so I won't go into details here."
"But even if it is innately deficient, the magic suit can be improved through the efforts of the magical girl."
"When the magic power and soul that make up your true self are greatly improved, the magic suit will also evolve and become stronger than its initial state. In the end, the power is determined by magic power, soul and mastery. These three are the basis for using the magic suit."
"Next, I will demonstrate my magic costume to you..."
The lectures continued as usual.
Two weeks have passed since Lin Xiaolu became a magical girl, and more than a week has passed since Xia Liang became a magical girl. The basic knowledge that Cuiqiao has instilled in them is increasing day by day.
From the basic common sense at the beginning, to the subsequent combat skills, and then to the current advanced abilities.
Lin Xiaolu’s talent was neither good nor bad, but fortunately she was serious and took note of everything she learned.
Xia Liang is an absolute genius. Although she seems a little absent-minded all the time, she can actually master everything Cuique teaches her very quickly.
In the past, Delphinium had never promoted any newcomers. The only magical girl junior she had interacted with before her retirement was code-named Chao Gao, also known as Hong Siyu, and she actually worked with her for less than half a year.
Now, watching the two newcomers grow up little by little under her personal teaching, and one of them is her own daughter, she has an indescribable sense of relief in her heart.
Just like that, about two hours later, after finishing sharing all the bits and pieces of knowledge, Delphinium stood on the rooftop and watched the two magical girls say goodbye and leave.
We need to provide them with a safer environment in which to grow.
The broken blue disc flashed through his mind, and Delphinium waved goodbye calmly while making a secret decision in his heart.
