Violence—that was the current epitome of Luo Shuangxing.
“You did well on the exam this time.” Xiao Mimi whispered to the scowling Luo Shuangxing.
She wanted to comfort Luo Shuangxing a little but didn’t know what else to say, so she just brought up her own injuries.
In the recent exam, Luo Shuangxing had pushed herself and scored high. Xiao Mimi, however, hovered around the passing line for each subject.
You couldn’t expect a cat to be too smart, right?
“Because I’ve been studying really hard.” Luo Shuangxing rolled her eyes, knowing Xiao Mimi wanted to cheer her up, but her mood was unlikely to improve.
Unless Xia Mo and Luo Shuangyue appeared right in front of her now, her mood would not get better!
Just wait, you damn sister. When you come back, I’ll deal with you properly!
“Lily of the Valley, Siam, there’s something I need you to handle.”
The door to the lounge was gently knocked twice, and the Director stepped inside.
“A Demon appeared? Where?” Luo Shuangxing immediately stood up, wanting to find a Demon to vent her frustrations on.
Right now, she felt she could beat a Lord-level Demon to death with her bare fists!
But unfortunately, the Demons didn’t want to bring misfortune to Luo Shuangxing, at least not now.
“It’s not a Demon. There was an unexplained massive explosion here last night. The Magic Department wants us to send someone to check it out, but it’s far from the urban area of Xinghai City, so we need you to provide protection.”
The area Magical Girls could protect was very limited. About ninety percent of the world was uninhabited wilderness.
But these places couldn’t be ignored, since Demons would breed there, fighting and devouring each other.
If left unattended, it could eventually breed a Royal-Class Magic Beast.
Therefore, the Magic Department regularly dispatches Magical Girl squads to clear Demons in the wilderness.
But Demons were like wild grass—no matter how much you burned, they would always regrow.
This made it nearly impossible for ordinary people to live in the wilderness.
Even trained Magic Department soldiers couldn’t guarantee their safety.
So, when missions required entering the wilderness, the easiest solution was to have Magical Girls escort them.
One Magical Girl was worth a thousand troops; having an escort greatly improved the safety of the entire team.
“Oh, I’ll go!” Luo Shuangxing nodded, volunteering.
She was bored anyway; accompanying the Magic Department squad was fine.
The Director nodded. Since Luo Shuangxing was willing to go, that was good.
After all, the matter was somewhat urgent; it was best to have results within a few hours.
“The location is here. The Pioneer Team has already taken off on the flying aircraft. Just catch up with them.”
“Okay, got it!”
Magical Girls flew incredibly fast, even faster than sound.
When Luo Shuangxing caught up to the Pioneer Team an hour ahead in the sky, the expressions on the faces of those team members on the plane were truly priceless.
Though they were technically coworkers, seeing a beautiful girl easily flying alongside an aircraft without any external aid still felt surreal.
This was a Magical Girl—the kind who could fight those unreasonable Demons and protect all of humanity!
“Lily of the Valley, we’re still about an hour and a half from the destination. Please take care during this time.”
The noise from the plane’s propellers was loud; the Pioneer Team leader could only send messages to Luo Shuangxing via phone.
Although Luo Shuangxing was in a bad mood, she wasn’t one to take it out on others. In front of outsiders, she behaved exactly as people expected a Magical Girl to—kind, gentle, and beautiful. Simply perfect!
“Not a problem.”
Keeping pace with the plane was effortless for Luo Shuangxing.
She even thought the speed was a bit slow; during White Night’s training, she’d flown much faster.
But a Magical Girl was a Magical Girl, and a plane was a plane—planes were not magical.
If she flew at her top speed, the plane would surely break, and the people inside couldn’t handle such high G-forces.
The closer they got to the destination, the more Luo Shuangxing felt something was off.
The air had grown gray and hazy, and there was a faint smell of burning…
“This doesn’t feel right. Lower your altitude and prepare to land. I’ll go check it out.”
Frowning, Luo Shuangxing suspected something was wrong.
She suspected there might be Demons here!
The nearer she got to the explosion site, the more her frown deepened. Now she was certain Demons were present.
The Demon aura concentration was high here—there was at least one Lord-level Demon nearby.
Slowing her flight, Luo Shuangxing carefully walked into the area with the densest Demon aura, which was exactly where the explosion had occurred.
A nearly hundred-meter-wide crater appeared in her view, steel debris scattered around the edges.
Some oddly shaped Demons were gnawing on the metal debris inside the crater.
These Demons looked different from any Luo Shuangxing had seen before.
They had structures she’d never encountered.
Since Demons couldn’t be understood with common sense, Luo Shuangxing didn’t dare guess their purpose.
But it seemed these structures were for spraying something, maybe for attack, or perhaps short bursts of speed?
In any case, she needed to be cautious.
Luo Shuangxing glanced again at the metal debris being eaten. Nothing particularly special stood out.
It was probably some organization’s base that accidentally exploded due to an operational error.
These Demons might have been created by that mistake.
After noting this information, Luo Shuangxing turned and quietly left.
What? Rush in and wipe out the Demons? No thanks.
She knew her limits well. She could handle one or two Lord-level Demons easily, but there were too many here.
Her best bet was to go back and request reinforcements.
There was no shame in that.
Dying because of reckless bravado would be the real shame!
As she turned to leave, she was unaware that her assumption was flawed: the metal debris wasn’t a base but more like… a flying vehicle.
While Luo Shuangyue was working hard in the wilderness, she wasn’t slacking off.
She actually wanted to go home a long time ago, but the Soul Summoner Princess had insisted on curing her first.
After a week of treatment, Luo Shuangyue’s magical power fluctuations were truly resolved.
The solution was simple: consume some Magic Power daily to keep it within a manageable limit.
“Your Magic Power is basically stabilized. From now on, just steadily improve your control, and there won’t be any problems.”
The Soul Summoner Princess handed a scented pouch to Luo Shuangyue and patted her shoulder with a motherly smile.
“If you run out of these, come to Jingan Palace to find me, or ask Quanding—don’t be shy.”
Luo Shuangyue had been a huge help to the Soul Summoner Princess and Jidong City, plus she was the first Magical Girl to have a humanoid weapon.
Her importance to the Soul Summoner Princess was incredibly high.
Even the Soul Summoner Princess’s original eldest daughter, Scarlet Feather Flame Princess, was jealous.
And because of Phantom Scythe, Luo Shuangyue was now a key focus of the Magic Department. At least, she couldn’t take off the Monitoring Bracelet yet.
The Magic Department needed to constantly track Luo Shuangyue’s movements, just in case she suddenly disappeared with Phantom Scythe.
Luo Shuangyue herself wasn’t very important—there were a few Initial Bloom-Class Magical Girls, though not many.
Phantom Scythe was the true focus. If Demons’ source Magic Power could turn Magical Girls’ weapons into that form, it would significantly boost their strength!
With Phantom Scythe’s help, Luo Shuangyue’s combat power nearly matched Scarlet Feather Flame Princess.
Xia Mo, who barely managed to hold her own against Luo Shuangyue before, had now become easy pickings.
Especially in assault situations—Phantom Scythe’s slash combined with Luo Shuangyue’s was enough to break through even Full Bloom-Class Magical Girls’ defenses.
This far exceeded the attack limits of an Initial Bloom-Class Magical Girl.
Such an upgrade on a Full Bloom-Class Magical Girl was unimaginable!
The Magic Department’s only thought now was to find another Royal-Class Magic Beast to replicate Luo Shuangyue’s setup—to buff Full Bloom-Class Magical Girls’ weapons.
If they could replicate this effect, the Magic Department might even wish for more Royal-Class Magic Beasts to appear.
Originally, killing Royal-Class Magic Beasts brought no benefits—only trouble for the Magic Department. But now, killing one would boost a Magical Girl’s power.
Royal-Class Magic Beasts had become coveted prizes!
But this was all future talk; Royal-Class Magic Beasts were not easy to find.
At least, according to the Magic Department’s current monitoring, none had appeared.
So their only research subject was Luo Shuangyue.
I heard the Magic Department had sent their top researchers to Xinghai City, planning to study Luo Shuangyue and Phantom Scythe thoroughly.
“What? You say Luo Shuangyue isn’t part of the Magic Department but from Extreme Night?”
Nonsense! Luo Shuangyue is an external staff member of our Magic Department. Isn’t that enough?
Luo Shuangyue wasn’t very pleased with the Department’s stance.
After all, she was a living person, and Phantom Scythe wasn’t just a weapon. Being treated like rare experimental specimens made her uncomfortable.
But when she saw the price the Magic Department was offering, she suddenly felt it wasn’t so bad being treated like a test subject.
Luo Shuangyue was very practical—too practical to be a typical Magical Girl.
As long as the Magic Department guaranteed no harm to her or Phantom Scythe, and with Monice involved in the plan, Luo Shuangyue felt she could endure this.
Tomorrow, she would finally leave Jidong City, where she had been stuck for a week, and return to her happy hometown, Xinghai City.
“So have you thought about how to confess everything to Shuangxing?”
That night, Xia Mo asked the eagerly homebound Luo Shuangyue.
The question plunged Luo Shuangyue into silence.
Right, how could she have forgotten this deadly problem?
The current situation was that Luo Shuangxing already knew Luo Shuangyue was Dark Moth, and Luo Shuangyue knew that Luo Shuangxing knew this.
They could lay all the cards on the table, but then came a difficult question: the relationship between Dark Moth and White Night.
Luo Shuangyue could easily explain her connection with Dark Moth—just say she was the first-ever Magical Boy.
But what about White Night?
No one had ever heard of a Magical Girl junior transforming by borrowing a senior’s power before!
