Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 384 - 63 Spell Techniques

"Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that."

Emerald Sparrow’s hand moved away from the cup, resting naturally at her side as her gaze followed the movement, veering off to one side, "That statement is a bit too general."

The words came out, but they didn’t seem to reach the other person because Xia Liang was still just looking at Emerald Sparrow and didn’t explain the meaning of what she had just said.

This situation didn’t last long, but to Emerald Sparrow, it felt like an eternity, even the act of blinking seemed to take forever.

Then, with a "pfft," Xia Liang covered her mouth and started to laugh.

"Why so tense? The atmosphere is so weird."

After laughing for a bit, she straightened up and waved her hand, "I didn’t mean anything else, just had some thoughts, about power enhancement."

"You see, haven’t I just reached the Hua Ye level recently? Junior, you’ve already given me a brief overview of the basics before, and I feel like the timing is pretty mature now, should I also..."

"You want to formally start learning Spell Techniques?"

Blinking, Emerald Sparrow gradually caught on, "So that’s why you came to me at this hour?"

"...Probably."

The smile subsiding slightly, Xia Liang still nodded, "After all, the progress of increasing my Magic Power probably isn’t fast enough to promote me to the Lei level in a short time, and to improve my combat ability, Spell Techniques are the best way."

"Improve combat ability, you say?"

Emerald Sparrow pondered for a moment, "When you were promoted before, I should have told you that if you want to maintain the fastest promotion speed, it’s best to dabble in Spell Techniques, just learn a few necessary practical measures. Otherwise, studying Spell Techniques will take up a lot of your practice time, leading to slower promotion."

"Yeah, I know." Xia Liang responded softly.

"So, when you say ’I want to learn Spell Techniques,’ to what extent exactly?"

Emerald Sparrow looked up, "Is it ’learn a few simple techniques’ to improve your practical response in real combat; or ’make Spell Techniques the main focus of your future study’ and let Spell Techniques become your main combat method?"

"For now... it should be the former, right?"

Xia Liang touched her chin, "But I’m not sure because I don’t know how talented I am in Spell Techniques. If it turns out I have a talent for it, it wouldn’t be bad to go a bit deeper, would it?"

"A very sensible choice."

Emerald Sparrow nodded, "Many Magical Girls view Spell Techniques as ’magic’ from fairy tales, thinking that becoming a Magical Girl and mastering a variety of ’magic’ is the right way, not realizing that this actually strays from the essence of a Magical Girl’s abilities."

"Anyway, for a Magical Girl, the most important thing is always her essence, or Magic Power. Spell Techniques are just ’tools,’ just ’weapons.’ It’s like bare-handed fighting techniques for ordinary people; no matter how exquisite, facing a huge physical disparity, it’s like a mayfly shaking a tree, having no decisive impact."

She continued, "Of course, because of this understanding, I haven’t gone deep into studying Spell Techniques. You can think that this is just a layman’s conclusion out of ignorance; there are no issues with it." Stay connected via novelbuddy

"So, Junior, are you actually recommending that I don’t focus too much on studying Spell Techniques?" Xia Liang asked.

"As you said yourself, it ultimately depends on your talent. If your talent for Spell Techniques is outstanding, perhaps even more so than the study of Magic Power, then it’s not wrong to go down that road."

While saying this, Emerald Sparrow paused for a moment, then added, "Or, if you say your interest lies in Spell Techniques, I won’t stop you either..."

"I’m not interested, at least not particularly interested right now."

Xia Liang waved her hand again, "Anyway, I get it now, Junior, you’re telling me not to neglect my cultivation of Magic Power, right? Don’t worry, I won’t forget."

Hearing her intention pinpointed by Xia Liang, Emerald Sparrow didn’t see it as a problem. She simply leaned back in her chair, seeming to ponder something.

After contemplating for a while, as if she had made some decision, she spoke again, "Well then, let me ask you, I say I’ll teach you Spell Techniques right now—are you willing?"

Although Xia Liang had come seeking her, it was already quite late, almost eleven o’clock, and explaining the intricacies of Spell Techniques now could mean they would both stay up very late.

She herself didn’t mind—after all, her paperwork was almost done, and staying up late was normal for her, but Xia Liang was still a child, and sleeping too late is not good for either health or academics.

"That’s fine."

However, it wasn’t clear if Xia Liang hadn’t considered it, or just didn’t care at all, as she nodded calmly, without any apparent thought, "After all, there isn’t much time left, right? For the competition with the people from Bai’an City."

"...Sorry, for summarily setting this task for you."

"No problem, Junior, and Miss Asou must have had your considerations; I knew that from the start."

Xia Liang chuckled, "Rather, it’s because I’m enthusiastic about this matter; I came to you because I want to win, whether it’s the competition or the upcoming assessments."

"The upcoming assessments ..."

Hearing this, Emerald Sparrow couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, "Can I take that to mean ’I have decided to participate in the assessments’? "
