Chapter 327 Mint
When most of the teams in the team-forming square had gathered and started to gather in groups of three, Lin Xiaolu was still looking for her teammates in a daze.
She wondered if the number plate she got was broken.
Every time she followed the magic fluctuations on the number plate and headed for the location it indicated, she could not find her teammates. Instead, she could only sense that this so-called "teammate" appeared in another place.
At first, she thought that this might be because the "teammate" she had never seen walked in the wrong direction and deviated from the meeting point. But as this phenomenon happened two or three times, she had to start to wonder if it was just a coincidence.
Either there was something wrong with the number plate in his hand, or there was something wrong with this unknown "teammate" himself.
Lin Xiaolu tends to think it is the former, because she doesn't think anyone would mess up at such a critical stage as the first team formation. You know, if you fail to form a team normally at this stage, it will be regarded as giving up the exam!
So when she followed the instructions of the number plate and came up empty-handed for the fourth time, the thought in her mind was no longer to continue looking for her elusive teammate, but "should I go to the staff to exchange a plate?"
——"What's wrong? Can't find your teammates?"
Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan's running around stood out among the many teams that had already gathered. Many teams watched with a nonchalant attitude, but there were also some relatively enthusiastic magical girls who realized that this half team consisting of two elementary school students might be in trouble.
"Is it because there are too many people here that we can't properly sense the fluctuations of magic power?"
The one who spoke was an older magical girl. She smiled gently and asked Lin Xiaolu and the others, "Maybe I can help you sense it?"
"Thank you, but that's not the case."
Lin Xiaolu was not quite used to this kind of kindness from strangers, so she said with a slightly stiff expression: "I can sense the location of my teammates, but I can't see anyone after I get there, so I wonder if there is something wrong with the equipment..."
"That means that guy is a bad guy." Bai Jingxuan, who had been busy all the way with Lin Xiaolu, clearly showed her dissatisfaction. It seemed that she felt that the other party was deliberately playing a trick on her, so the expression on her face was already covered with a layer of gloom.
"Huh? I can sense my teammates, but I can't find them at the indicated location?"
The enthusiastic magical girl was a little surprised at first, and then her face showed a look of worry as if she had thought of something bad: "This... seems to be really possible..."
"It's okay, thank you for your concern."
Lin Xiaolu knew what the other party was thinking. It would be better to say that most people would think like Bai Jingxuan, assuming that "the other party is playing tricks on me." Even I would probably think so in this situation.
But now, since Cuiqiao entrusted Bai Jingxuan to her care and she became a senior in the team, she had to be calm enough. Even though she was a little annoyed in her heart, Lin Xiaolu still forced herself to stay rational.
So after thanking the other party for his kindness, she pulled Bai Jingxuan towards the work place to see if she could get a new number plate before the deadline of the assembly phase.
It's just strange that when she gave up looking for her teammate and headed towards the workplace, the magic fluctuations on the number plate in her hand showed that she was getting closer and closer to her goal.
It turns out that this brand is broken.
Lin Xiaolu became more certain of her guess, quickened her pace, and walked towards the workplace at a brisk pace. But just when she thought she had grasped the truth and had a clear route forward, she was stopped by a figure who suddenly emerged from the crowd.
Because the figure appeared too suddenly, Lin Xiaolu, who was worried, was unable to react in time and bumped straight into the other person's chest.
“Hmm!”
"ah!"
The two people who collided with each other took a step back. Lin Xiaolu subconsciously wanted to cover her head, but then she realized that she had just collided with the other person's chest, so her head didn't hurt at all.
As for the figure who was bumped by Lin Xiaolu, he covered his chest uncomfortably and looked at Lin Xiaolu and Bai Jingxuan with a puzzled expression.
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry so I didn't look ahead." Lin Xiaolu was stunned for a moment and then apologized.
"Ahaha...it's okay. I suddenly blocked your way from the side. I didn't scare you, did I?" The other party laughed and magnanimously avoided the question.
Only then did both sides have time to take in each other's image.
This person who bumped into Lin Xiaolu because she suddenly blocked the road was obviously also a magical girl. Although she had short blue-gray hair that reached her ears and her facial features looked more heroic, the light eye shadow on her eyelids, the shining metal earrings on her earlobes, and her pretty figure all reflected her identity as a girl.
The magical girl is wearing a large white hoodie that reaches her thighs, and underneath the open coat is a high-tech bodysuit. The blue and white color distribution, the flowing sports lines, and the metal armor at the joints make her outfit look quite sci-fi.
This one-piece tights extends all the way to his feet, but starting from his calves begins to extend a pair of metal combat boots. The air vents all around seem to indicate that these boots are not purely decorative, but have some more practical purpose.
If I were to use one word to describe this magical girl, it would undoubtedly be "cool." If I could add another word, it would be "refreshing."
It is hard to imagine that this word that seems to describe a boy can be so appropriate for a magical girl. Moreover, this "boyish" temperament does not make her look rude or tough. She still has the softness and beauty of a girl. The two temperaments complement each other in her, forming a very unique charm.
And if you put a girl like this in a group of magical girls that are all female...
There is no doubt that such a person will become the visual focus wherever he is.
Rather, right now, there are countless eyes secretly watching this girl.
"Yeah, it was just a slight bump, nothing serious."
Even Lin Xiaolu paused for a moment at first because of the other person's handsome appearance, but soon, she straightened up again, saying, "I know a more handsome magical girl," as if she was angry. "But sorry, I have something urgent to do now, so can you leave first?"
"An urgent matter?"
The pretty-looking girl raised her eyebrows slightly: "Ah, that's fine, but I have something to ask you guys, can you give me two minutes?"
As she said this, she took out a number plate from her coat pocket: "My code name is Mint, this is my number plate. Team 629... Is that the number of your team?"
Lin Xiaolu was really stunned this time.
She stared at the number on the number plate in the other person's hand, then looked down at her own number. After confirming that the numbers on both sides were "629", she nodded silently.
"Huh, it really was you. My number plate sensed that you were running this way, so I chased you for quite a while."
The girl seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said thankfully, "I was worried about what to do if I couldn't catch up and missed the deadline."
"We have been looking for you for a long time."
Lin Xiaolu had a complicated expression: "But there seems to be something wrong with my number plate. Every time I sense someone, I don't see you when I get to the corresponding location."
"Ah..." The girl blinked and hesitated to speak.
"Hmm?" Lin Xiaolu keenly noticed the other party's little movements, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.
Bai Jingxuan, who had been following her, had quietly walked to Lin Xiaolu's side and was looking at the girl with a bad expression.
"How should I put it..."
The girl scratched her chin, her eyes wandering: "What you are talking about seems to be my problem."
"I can see that."
Lin Xiaolu held down Bai Jingxuan's arm, but she had already narrowed her eyes: "What is the specific reason? Can you please explain it to me?"
