Chapter 4: The Three-A-M Runner
"So, is this really the only way?" In the company, Ye Xiaoxuan leaned on the desk with both hands, with two thick dark circles under her eyes.
The specific screen is shown below:

After three days of non-stop training, Ye Xiaoxuan felt like her body had been run over by a truck, and then the truck reversed and ran over it again.
What on earth could make a 35-year-old office worker ignore his strained lumbar muscles and his crazy and sank spirit and run wildly on the road in the dark?
Is it the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality?
No, neither, it’s the desire for life.
The story begins three days ago.
Three days ago, Ye Xiaoxuan, who had just become a magical girl, learned from Zi about the disadvantages of being a magical girl. Knowing her current situation, she had to start special training if she wanted to survive.
In the rental house, Zi gave up floating on the dining table and explained everything in an extremely uncertain tone. As he spoke, his beard trembled unnaturally.
It was during Zi's explanation that Ye Xiaoxuan learned the specific background of their existence, which can be summarized as follows:
At the beginning of the creation of the world by the Supreme God, seven angels represented the virtues of the world and guarded the balance of the world.
They are humility, generosity, chastity, forbearance, temperance, diligence and tolerance.
However, time is the most powerful weapon in the world. Humility derives from arrogance, generosity derives from greed, chastity derives from lust, perseverance derives from rage, temperance derives from gluttony, diligence derives from laziness, and tolerance derives from jealousy. It symbolizes the sins of the world and is called the seven deadly sins, which are transformed into seven fallen angels.
The seven virtues and the seven deadly sins confronted each other, and the void was created. Angels came to the world and brought disaster.
"So, you want me to save the world, and this disaster was caused by you from the beginning?"
"That's not the way it should be."
Zi said, sounding less certain.
"Then let's talk about your special training. What is it about?"
...After a moment of silence,
"What specific special training should we do?" Ye Xiaoxuan asked directly. Things have already happened and there is no point in saying more. Let's think about how to solve it quickly.
"The simplest and most direct solution is to take the initiative and hunt down the angry subordinates directly, the kind you have seen before."
"Can I beat them?" Ye Xiaoxuan was very curious.
"I can't beat him."
…
"So we can do the next best thing and hunt down ordinary creatures affected by the power of rage."
"What kind of creature?"
"Anything is possible."
"Is there any more accurate standard for the combat power of magical girls?"
"Yes, it's the magic value."
"So how much is my magic worth?"
"5"
"Where are the furious men?"
“The weakest 250”
"What is the level of 5 mana?"
"It's the level of 5 magic points."
"What about 250?"
“That’s about 250.”
"You are such a 250!"
"You flatter me."
Praising you.
Knowing that this plan was unreliable, Ye Xiaoxuan immediately decided to change it: "What about the affected creatures you just mentioned?"
Ye Xiaoxuan's advantage is her adaptability.
"The weakest 6"
"I roughly know what a magic level of 5 is."
But there seems to be no room for compromise.
"Then there is no other way?"
"You just give up like that?" Zi found it hard to believe. When most people hear that the gap is not big, shouldn't they think about whether they can defeat the strong with the weak?
"What else? I never fight a battle I'm not prepared for."
…
"Then that's the only option."
Just like that, after a rigorous discussion between the man and his pet, it was four o'clock the next morning.
"One, two, one, two, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven..."
Ye Xiaoxuan ran on the road to the company in the morning dew.
After eliminating other options, she chose running.
During this period, they discussed other options, but they were all rejected by her.
For example, you can set up an anti-tracking barrier to hide your magic fluctuations, but you need to have at least an intermediate barrier level.
Another example is seeking the protection of other magical girls. But this Zi couldn't find any at all.
So, after a round of elimination, she still chose the simplest and dumbest method. At this time, Ye Xiaoxuan was lying on the workstation. Although she was still alive, she had actually been dead for a while. Who could remember that she was just a miserable middle-aged person who would gasp for breath after running a few steps?
The blessing of magic can save her physical strength, but the training method that can enhance magic power is naturally not an ordinary method.
She actually turned into a magical girl first, then used magic to hide her magical girl form, and then used magic to add magic power to her body, so as to experience the feeling of magic depletion and achieve the effect of exercising magic power.
The most unbearable thing was that she was still in the state of transformation, so once her magic power was exhausted, the first thing she would do was to lift the concealment magic, and then let others see her transformed into a magical girl in public. Thinking of this, she didn't dare to stay any longer.
While running with his strong thighs, he was thinking, dead legs, run faster, dead magic, turn faster!
Woo woo woo——
Ye Xiaoxuan just kept running, but she didn't know that at the same time, a pair of eyes were looking at her through the window.
A drizzle started to fall from the sky, and finally, at 8:58, I made it to work in perfect time.
Sitting at the workstation, Ye Xiaoxuan's legs felt like they were filled with lead, her lungs ached like they were on fire, and something seemed to be running inside.
I can only say that survival is never elegant, especially for an older beginner like you.
"I've finished another day of running. How was it? Have you made any progress?"
"Your magic power is currently 5."
“Ah? Ah——”
The moment Ye Xiaoxuan heard this shocking news, she collapsed there.
All I can say is that reality is not a novel, and it doesn’t mean that you will be rewarded as long as you work hard enough.
It seems that such days will have to continue for a few more days. Thinking about such painful torture, one can only say that before this, Ye Xiaoxuan was afraid of fighting, and after this, Ye Xiaoxuan was eager to fight.
As expected, the battle escalates quickly!
But what can she do? She is just a rookie with a magic value of 5, and she can't beat a rabbit with a magic value of 6. Think about her own precarious life.
Ye Xiaoxuan could only say to herself in her heart:
You must keep working hard, Ye Xiaoxuan.
You must keep going.
"Keep going, everyone! Today is another energetic day."
Just as she was thinking this, a vibrant voice came from the company's door. She knew who it was without even looking up.
Tian Zihan, in this company where everyone is dying, she is the only one who can be so energetic.
Today, she came to the company again wearing her beautiful emerald green headband, jumping and running, and greeting everyone in the company one by one.
"Good morning, Sister Ye." Tian Zihan greeted energetically.
"Good morning, Zi Han." Ye Xiaoxuan replied weakly.
"What's wrong? Sister Ye, why are you distracted?"
"It's okay, Zi Han." She was not distracted, but her brain was empty.
But I definitely couldn't say that, so I just chose a high EQ answer to change the subject.
"I just think your headband is very pretty."
Tian Zihan:……
Noticing that the atmosphere was not right, Ye Xiaoxuan immediately wondered: What happened? Is there something wrong?
But before she could figure it out, she heard Zhang Yaozu say beside her, "Sister Ye, you must have been confused because of sleep. Xiaotian's head is bald, how can there be a hairband?"
Huh? What's going on?
Ye Xiaoxuan was keenly aware that something was wrong.
Tian Zihan is a person who never knows how to hide her emotions. Her happiness and anger are all shown on her face. At this moment, standing in front of Ye Xiaoxuan, she has nowhere to hide.
In the end, it was Supervisor Li's usual roar that saved her, and everyone immediately returned to their workstations.
With this look, it’s no wonder that colleagues say Manager Li looks like an angry seal.
"Xiao Zi, let me ask you, under what circumstances can I see something that others cannot? Is there such a side effect of becoming a magical girl?"
