Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

On the other side, Xia Liang also began her own dedicated tutoring project.

As the only "Leaf Level" in the team at that moment, Xia Liang's main task for the coming period was, apart from continuing to train with her "Magic Armor," to undertake more systematic learning of magic techniques.

"Diversion," the piece of Magic Armor, had a pretty good compatibility with magic techniques. Other than with explosive techniques, combining it with many other techniques could result in a chemical reaction where 1+1>2. Unfortunately, Emerald Sparrow's own research into magic techniques was quite limited. She could only think of combinations with explosive techniques, and more intricate combinations were beyond her comprehension. Directing Xia Liang was indeed beyond her capabilities.

Honoring the principle that the experienced lead the way, Emerald Sparrow assigned the task to someone else. Thus, the teacher ultimately responsible for this specialized training was Hong Siyu.

There is an order in learning magic and specializations in its practice. Among the "Magical Girls" currently staying in Fangting City, except for the one who is outside the discussion—Emerald,—Hong Siyu probably had the deepest accomplishment in magic techniques. Even widening the comparison scope to the entire Magic Kingdom, Hong Siyu's engagement with numerous magic techniques was considered top-tier. Therefore, having her in charge of this part of the education was indeed the safest choice.

"So, starting today, I'll be Xia Liang's teacher," Hong Siyu declared confidently, bringing a pile of notebooks and draft paper, and somehow producing a pair of black-framed glasses. She sat before Xia Liang with a full-on motivated attitude. "I'll start from the most basic techniques and try to explain every technique you should know as clearly as possible. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to interrupt me." Enjoy exclusive content from My Virtual Library Empire

"Great! Thank you, I'll work hard!"

Xia Liang responded with equal fervor but asked upon seeing the notebooks on the table, "By the way, Big Sister Hong, these notebooks are..."

"Ah, these? Some contain key points from when I initially studied magic techniques, while others are notes from university."

Upon hearing this question, Hong Siyu's eyes lit up, and she immediately spread out the notebooks in front of her, showcasing them one by one. "This one is a beginner's notes on energy-shaping techniques, this one on transformation techniques, this one is a collection of common mistakes in balance techniques, this one the theoretical foundation of waveguide techniques, and this book here is on complex functions, this one is thermodynamics and statistical physics..."

Xia Liang could guess the content of the first few courses mentioned, but as Hong Siyu continued, the subject matter seemed increasingly off. Seeing that Hong Siyu was still enthusiastically introducing each book, Xia Liang had to interject, "Um, Big Sister Hong... are these all related to studying magic techniques?"

"Hmm? Yes, they are," Hong Siyu responded somewhat puzzled but affirmed.

"But, those sound completely unrelated to magic techniques. They seem to be about math and physics..."

Xia Liang slowed down her speech, watching Hong Siyu's expression carefully.

"They are also subjects that you'll need for learning magic techniques," Hong Siyu nodded. "Although Magic Power hardly follows the physical laws of the Material Realm, the effects that Magic Power has on the external world can still be predicted, and math is also a universal tool we use in research work..."

"No, that's not what I meant."

Feeling cold sweat running down her temples, Xia Liang stammered, "I mean, most of the knowledge you mentioned, I haven't come across it yet?"

"Well, a lot of it is knowledge from high school or even university, some of which is taught to students majoring in related fields. Generally, only Magical Girls in the Research Institute need to learn these things in the Kingdom."

Hong Siyu raised her finger, as if boasting, "But your Big Sister Hong, though not part of the Research Institute and my university major wasn't in the sciences, I still learned all these on my own while specializing in magic techniques."

"Is that so."

Xia Liang nodded, swallowing hard: "Then, these notes..."

"They are all carefully selected introductory materials. Just learn all of these in the next month, and I assure you that you'll have a solid foundation in magic techniques."

Xia Liang's eyes widened, and Hong Siyu immediately nodded approvingly: "Already excited? Trembling with eagerness? That's the spirit a magic technique-specializing Magical Girl should have. Well then, let's not delay any further and get started right away."

"Uh, ah..."

Xia Liang opened her mouth, unsure of what else to say, only to feel the cold sweat that had lingered on her temples slide down to her cheeks. She lowered her head to look at the notebooks nearly covering the entire table, then somewhat stiffly lifted her head, trying hard to muster a smile:

"Okay, I'll work hard."

...

...

"Your turn now."

In the underground training ground of the stronghold, Emerald Sparrow said this while extending her hand, delivering a complex pattern of Magic Power Lines to Lin Xiaolu.

The silk thread transformed between her hands into a symmetrical and exquisite pattern, silently presented between the two.

"Uh..."

Gazing at the pattern before her, Lin Xiaolu hesitated a little as she raised her hands, but stopped just as she was about to touch the silk thread.

She looked pensive, furrowing her brows as she carefully studied the structure of the silk thread, pondering long before finally reaching into the silk thread and, after a bit of tugging, took the silk thread from Emerald Sparrow's hands.
