Chapter 308: The younger generation’s statement
"I thought I should be fine... so I tried it alone."
Bai Jingxuan could only weakly defend Xia Liang's "blame" which was mainly out of good intentions: "I won't do this next time."
"Next time? Oh? You're quite ambitious!"
Xia Liang's hands on Bai Jingxuan's face changed from rubbing to pinching: "You have just reached the Leaf level, and you are already looking forward to the Bud level? If you say this to others, others will think you are arrogant!"
"I think one day it will happen." Because Xia Liang controlled the strength very well, Bai Jingxuan didn't feel uncomfortable when her cheeks were pinched. She obediently moved her seat a little to the side and leaned in Xia Liang's arms: "If I don't become stronger, I will never be able to truly surrender to those people..."
"It's about time we stop talking about this."
Xia Liang interrupted softly, "Otherwise everyone will be angry."
"...Yeah." Bai Jingxuan paused, then responded honestly.
Everyone knew that she was definitely going to talk about revenge again, but it was obvious that no one was happy to see a child like her always caught up in such negative emotions.
However, after Bai Jingxuan successfully reached the leaf level, one thing is certain: she does have the initial strength to "retaliate".
Last summer, when Bai Jingxuan had just become a magical girl, the claw-marked magical girl, Sparrow, who attacked Fangting City with Black Ember Dawn, was only at the leaf level. Although the gap in strength between leaf levels can be very large, Bai Jingxuan and her are already at the same Kaihua stage. This means that if Bai Jingxuan can start learning spells in the next few months, enrich her spell reserves and combat skills, and combine them with a more complete beast transformation ability than the other party, then she will be able to directly resist the original Sparrow.
This was quite a remarkable thing. You know, Sparrow himself was already a card before he defected from the kingdom. And Bai Jingxuan, a child who had been a magical girl for just over half a year, was only short of a card in terms of skills and combat skills?
Such a growth rate seems unreal even to Delphinium.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cast her gaze at Lin Xiaolu beside her, and Xia Liang also did the same action almost at the same time. Coupled with Bai Jingxuan's imitation of the two of them, everyone was looking at Lin Xiaolu for a moment.
“…What are you doing?”
Lin Xiaolu, who had been silent for a long time and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible, was immediately unhappy: "Why are you looking at me?"
"No, I didn't mean to do anything, I just felt a little bit emotional."
Xia Liang laughed and looked away: "It suddenly occurred to me that, excluding the young senior, among all of us present, Xiaoxuan and I are not the first to become magical girls... or something like that."
"So what? It's only been a little over a month since I awakened my magic suit, less than two months. What's wrong with a little more time to settle down?"
Lin Xiaolu's eyes widened: "And if we really fight, you can definitely beat me? Not necessarily, right?"
"Eh... that's hard to say."
Xia Liang smiled and said, "However, if you bring up this topic now, I choose to surrender."
"Oh? You have to surrender now, right? Interesting."
Lin Xiaolu grinned: "Come to think of it, I haven't fought with you since last month. It seems that you have gained a lot during this period of time?"
"Same here."
Xia Liang finally wiped Bai Jingxuan's face, then let go: "I'm not so arrogant as to think that I'm the only one who has made progress."
"Then what do you say? Let's find a place to demonstrate?" Lin Xiaolu stood up by holding the armrest of the sofa.
"don't want."
Xia Liang leaned back instead: "What if I fight with you now and we face each other again during the practical exam?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Delphinium took the initiative to smooth things over, saying, "I don't mind you competing with each other, but if you want to spar with each other, you should wait until daytime to find a suitable venue in the academy area. It's too late now, so don't cause trouble for the hotel staff."
"Okay." Xia Liang smiled at Delphinium quite obediently.
"I understand." Lin Xiaolu still looked at Xia Liang somewhat unwillingly, then closed her eyes helplessly and chose to follow Cuique's advice.
But even so, the atmosphere had reached this point, and Delphinium had already understood what they were thinking about the upcoming assessment.
"In short, judging from the way you all look, you are all determined to take part in the next assessment?"
She glanced at the faces of the people in front of her: "I want to emphasize again, there is real danger."
"Um."
"Of course."
"Yes."
What I got was three responses that sounded almost simultaneously.
"I know it's dangerous, but teacher, I'm not afraid of this."
Bai Jingxuan expressed her determination this way: "It is precisely because they are here that I want to go."
"This is what we agreed upon. When I become a magical girl on my own, you will fight with me."
Lin Xiaolu also looked serious: "Even if there are dangers during the exam, only by taking the initiative to deal with the crisis can you stand on your own, right? And so many seniors are here, so many students of the same period are here too. If I don't go, won't I fall behind them?"
“I think this is a great opportunity.”
Xia Liang expressed a different point of view: "If we don't prove ourselves in such an occasion, I'm afraid you, young senior, will continue to treat us as children instead of real companions, right?"
"But you are still just children." Cuique refuted Xia Liang's words.
"Ordinary children shouldn't be magical girls."
Xia Liang stared at Kurobuta: "Young senior, we chose this path ourselves, so I won't regret the dangers we might encounter, and you shouldn't blame yourself for the dangers we might encounter. You know, you can't always help us shield from all the dangers, and I'm already at the Leaf level, a stage where a magical girl should be independent."
"……I see."
Delphinium took a deep breath.
She actually knew that the children would make such a choice, and even made plans based on the assumption that they would continue to take the test. However, she still wanted to give it a try to see if she could persuade the younger generation to avoid the risk.
However, as Xia Liang said, ordinary children will not become magical girls. Even if there are girls who choose to become magical girls for the sake of their glamorous appearance, such children will not take the step of taking the exam.
The magical girls who choose to come to the country for assessment and obtain qualification certification have already expressed their attitude with this decision.
The younger generations are already growing up, and in the future, their growth will only get faster and faster. She cannot protect them from the wind and rain forever, and she is destined to fail to do so.
"...Then, I think it's time to tell you another piece of news."
When things came to this point, Delphinium felt that her mind was unusually calm.
Since she had decided to start witnessing the independent growth of her juniors, she had to pass on more information to them. This certainly didn't mean that she had to tell them all the truth, but there were some things they should know that she didn't need to hide.
"There is another reason why I am having dinner with the people from the Magic Academy today. That is because I plan to shift the focus of my work back to the Magic Academy."
She raised her eyes and looked at the juniors in front of her, and also watched their slightly surprised expressions:
"Remember not to tell anyone else. From now on, I will work with them, perhaps within this year, or perhaps next year... to become the Gem Scepter of the Magic Academy."
