Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl

Fangting City Xizhao Middle School, third floor of the main teaching building. Lin Xiaolu stared blankly at the disconnected call, paused for a few seconds, and then lowered her arm, putting down her phone. She looked out of the window in the corridor, where the rain was drizzling continuously. In this endless rainy day, her mood became a little low.@@novelbin@@

Perhaps it shouldn't be described as low, she felt a sense of loss.

Cui Que told her "no need to come", which was indeed well-intentioned. She didn't want Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang to be in danger, nor did she want them to miss the important parent meeting. Who wouldn't understand the care in this?

However, even though Cui Que had no other intentions, these words could be interpreted in another way. The so-called "no need to come" actually meant "it's useless for you to come".

There was no contempt or belittlement in it, it was just a statement of fact: in Cui Que's eyes, the two newcomers were fragile and in need of protection, and they did not constitute any usable combat power.

When facing the Brutal Beast at the Caterpillar stage, Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang, who were only at the Seed level, could not contribute anything. Even though they had been studying and training for nearly a month, they would probably still be a burden when facing the Caterpillar.

In name, Cui Que, Lin Xiaolu, and Xia Liang were "comrades" as Magical Girls, but in reality, the two newcomers couldn't keep up with her pace and couldn't walk by her side.

Fangting City was currently in crisis, and Cui Que could only fight alone.

So, is it really okay to just follow the routine like this?

Lin Xiaolu thought so.

Being protected, taken care of, and taught by such a senior, she did feel at ease. Perhaps it would be fine to leave all the dangerous things to Cui Que, and under her guidance, she could naturally become a skilled Magical Girl, right?

There would be no risks or obstacles, all that was needed was time, effort, and talent.

This growth path sounded so reasonable, safe, and rational. Just like every good mentor would do, they would wholeheartedly arrange the safest path for their juniors.

But since she could understand, where did this sense of loss come from?

She couldn't figure it out.

"Are you okay, Xiaolu?"

Mo Ke, who was leaning on Lin Xiaolu's shoulder, saw her low mood and asked with some concern.

Lin Xiaolu just shook her head.

The parent meeting was approaching, and most of the classes had already finished their lessons. Students walked out of the classrooms and along the corridor towards the outside of the teaching building, preparing to meet their parents.

So the number of people in the corridor gradually increased, and the passing crowd became more dense. Lin Xiaolu couldn't talk to Mo Ke at this time.

She put her phone back in her pocket, patted her cheeks with both hands to remind herself to regain her composure, and focused her attention back on the upcoming parent meeting. Then she turned around and walked towards the classroom.

The rain outside was getting heavier, and she had to go back to get an umbrella.

Passing through the almost empty classroom, Lin Xiaolu took out her backpack from her desk and took out an umbrella. When she walked out of the classroom door again, she happened to see a familiar figure:

It was Xia Liang.

"Xiao Liang!"

Mo Ke, who had been worried about Lin Xiaolu, immediately betrayed her allegiance and jumped down from her shoulder, pouncing into Xia Liang's arms, leaving Lin Xiaolu standing there with a displeased look, watching the interaction between the two.

But this was the school, filled with ordinary people who couldn't see fairies. If there was too much interaction with Mo Ke, it would inevitably be seen as a weird person dancing with the air. So Xia Liang also knew her limits and just touched Mo Ke before letting go of her hand, so as not to make her actions seem strange.

"What's wrong?"

After putting down Mo Ke, she smiled and looked at Lin Xiaolu. "Is your dad coming soon?"

"How would I know what that person is up to."

Lin Xiaolu looked displeased. "He might not even come."

"Then why did you bring an umbrella?"

"...There's nothing else to do, I'll go to the school gate and take a look."

"Hehe." Xia Liang covered her mouth and chuckled.

"You're so annoying!"

Lin Xiaolu said in embarrassment, "If you have nothing else to do, go back to your own class!"

"Okay, okay, I won't mention it."

After comforting Lin Xiaolu like coaxing a child, Xia Liang slightly restrained her expression. "I just wanted to ask about the message you sent earlier, about the Brutal Beast that appeared on the subway..."

"Cui Que went."

Lin Xiaolu's eyes flickered slightly as she answered briefly. "Alone."

"...I see, it's like that again." Xia Liang blinked in surprise, and soon understood what she meant.

Compared to Lin Xiaolu, Xia Liang was more sensitive to human relationships. So she realized and understood Cui Que's actions earlier.

She knew why Cui Que went alone.After a brief silence, Xia Liang regained her composure and comforted Lin Xiaolu with a smile, "There's nothing we can do about it. Since it's already like this, let's just face the parent-teacher meeting head-on."

"...Okay."

Lin Xiaolu nodded with a complex look in her eyes, "I know, worrying alone won't help."

After this exchange, Xia Liang waved goodbye to Lin Xiaolu and headed towards the other end of the school building. Lin Xiaolu, on the other hand, continued towards the school gate with her umbrella.

As the parent-teacher meeting approached, a dense crowd had gathered at the school gate. Students were meeting their parents here and then leading them to their respective classes.

Lin Xiaolu opened her umbrella, avoiding the puddles on the ground, and hopped over to the gate in three steps.

She tiptoed, looking left and right, trying to find Lin Yun in the crowd. However, with her height, it was somewhat difficult to see clearly in the bustling crowd.

After a futile effort, she realized that this method was not very effective. So, she decided to try a different approach: find a less crowded spot and wait there.

After all, with her height, it was somewhat difficult to find someone in the crowd, but with Lin Yun's stature, it wouldn't be difficult for him to spot his daughter.

What she needed to do was to make herself easier to find.

Lin Xiaolu held her umbrella and found an unoccupied corner by the flower bed at the school gate. After confirming that this spot was visible from the gate, she stood there and quietly began to wait.

The crowd at the school gate grew denser as more classes ended. Some students waited inside the school building, but most came to the school gate to meet their parents - after all, the parent-teacher meeting would also announce the final exam results. Not knowing whether they had messed up their exams, it was always safe to behave well in advance.

Lin Xiaolu didn't care about her report card. She had never liked studying before, and after becoming a Magical Girl, she only saw studying as a mandatory task. Although she knew her grades wouldn't be good, the idea of trying to please Lin Yun for such a thing was out of the question.

She came to the school gate just to take a look.
