Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 399 - 68: The Competition Concludes

The glaring white light persisted for several seconds. During that time, apart from Emerald Sparrow and Asou Haruka, no one else could see clearly what was happening inside the training ground.

What occurred within the radiance? What kind of exchange did the two have? Most people had no idea.

However, when the white light dispersed, all that remained was Lin Xiaolu, who was still standing, and Bai Ji, who was kneeling on the ground.

The magic outfit in Bai Ji’s hand had fallen to the side at some unknown time, and the magical wardrobe on her body also showed signs of scorching and tearing. Clearly, her magic power had nearly been depleted.

Even so, she still stared hard at Lin Xiaolu, her eyes brimming with undiminished fighting spirit.

The situation on Lin Xiaolu’s side wasn’t much better. She was able to stand merely because she still had magic power left. The magic particles drifting from her body surface proved that she had also been injured in the battle.

Wiping her cheek with her glove to disperse the remaining magic particles, she stared back expressionlessly.

Was the battle still continuing, or had a result already been determined?

If it had ended, who had won?

In the midst of several Magical Girls’ confusion, the judge in the center of the arena, Moka, slowly raised its paw and loudly announced:

——"The second duel, Bai Mei wins! Next, we will enter the mid-battle break!"

With this, a period was put to this duel which could be said to be a huge upset.

Before this, even Asou Haruka, who personally taught Lin Xiaolu the Turbidity Techniques, probably couldn’t have expected this outcome.

The others might have not seen clearly, but she had a clear view of everything that happened within the white light — Lin Xiaolu had taken the white magic power in her hands and tossed it out like a thrown weapon, while Bai Ji had hesitated for a moment before immediately beginning to counter. Her spell techniques and magical outfit were imbued with Turbidity without exception, indicating she was fully prepared for defense.

Yet, she was still caught off guard.

Because the white magic power Lin Xiaolu released seemed to penetrate space itself, moving directly through Bai Ji’s prepared defenses and striking Bai Ji.

It did not damage the magic outfit or destroy the magical barrier but merely passed through as if those spell techniques did not exist at all.

This was the reason that Bai Ji was defeated in one blow — the defensive measures she had prepared by exhausting her last bit of magic power had been ineffective, and she had instead taken a solid hit from the opponent’s Turbidity-enhanced attack.

"What is this, sister?"

This time, it was her turn to ask Emerald Sparrow, "Did you teach her this?"

"I couldn’t perform her move, she mastered it all on her own."

Emerald Sparrow shook her head: "She has used it a few times in the past, but it has always been very unstable, so it couldn’t be included in her regular combat power."

"So... this is the ’specialty’ you mentioned before, the one the kid possesses?"

Resting her chin in deep thought, Asou Haruka’s gaze scrutinized Lin Xiaolu not far away, "A deviant?"

"I don’t know," Emerald Sparrow said expressionlessly.

"That’s not the answer I want, sister. I’ve entrusted all of my ’Turbidity’ knowledge to you," Asou Haruka raised her eyebrows somewhat unsatisfied. "The duel is over, so there’s no need to keep secrets in this area. Given our relationship, do you really need to keep something like this from me?"

"I’m telling the truth because I truly don’t know,"

Emerald Sparrow gave her a look, "I can’t confirm whether this is a deviation or not. Can’t you feel it? That kind of white magic power didn’t show any trace of being anything other than a Magical Girl."

"Indeed, based on its essence, it seems to still be that of a Magical Girl... but it’s hard to say it’s simply Turbidity. Is there some different condition? It’s really strange,"

The troubled expression remained on Asou Haruka’s face only for a moment before it transformed back into a smile, "Well, it’s good. It’s rare for things to become interesting."

"I must remind you, it’s fine to find it interesting, but don’t have the wrong ideas about that child," Emerald Sparrow warned.

"Of course not, I’m not Su Shengzi. Besides, she is after all the daughter of An Ya and... right?" Asou Haruka teased.

While they conversed in this manner, on the other side, Lin Xiaolu and Bai Ji, who had finished their duel, finally de-transformed and walked out of the training arena together.

Bai Ji was the one walking in front.

Bai Ji, now in her civilian form, appeared to be a rather quiet and composed girl with a slender figure and a serene expression. She had shoulder-length black hair and was dressed neatly, fitting the stereotype of the "model student" in many people’s minds.

This "model student" kept her gaze to the ground as she walked, not looking up until she was in front of Asou Haruka, where she hesitated before stopping and slowly lifting her head to look at her.

"I’m very sorry, mentor,"

Her voice was rough, "I lost."

"Yes, you lost,"

Asou Haruka nodded, "So? What about it?"

"I let you down, I’m sorry," Bai Ji lowered her head again.

"And what do you think I should do now?"

"...Please criticize me," Bai Ji replied softly.

"You have no problem saying that... but I’m not disappointed, so I won’t criticize you,"

Asou Haruka smiled, "After all, you did everything that was within your capacity. You were not careless, nor did you make mistakes, you just simply encountered something beyond your capacity which made you lose. I have no reason to blame you."

"Then, for using Turbidity on an unknowing opponent without principle before, please criticize me,"

"Didn’t I already talk to you about that before? So consider it in the past, just be careful next time,"
