Chapter 97: Magical Girl Duel!

The second day of the College Entrance Examination arrived quickly.

As usual, Luo Zining went to take the exam, while Luo You, still waiting for the manager’s call, decided to head northwest.

The Gray Witch Ariel made a grand entrance!

“Ha~ Big Sister Butterfly must hate me to death right now.

I bet she’s thinking of stripping me naked and throwing my underwear right in front of Ereira to humiliate me.

I wonder how that will end?”

This time, Luo You boldly stormed into the territory of the Magic Alliance’s northwest branch.

The building stood on the outskirts of Dianhai City.

The surrounding infrastructure was relatively prosperous, but this branch’s defenses were almost nonexistent.

“The security is seriously slack.”

Luo You criticized the fact that she had entered the building’s interior with such ease.

Had these magical girls really forgotten that the Gray Witch once stormed into their branch and violently overpowered a magical girl in the conference room?

No memory at all!

“Since you’ve forgotten, I’ll remind you again!”

Luo You ascended the stairs.

During this time, memories of the past came flooding back.

There was once an extremely arrogant magical girl — basically just a cocky brat.

Luo You had seen her shouting wildly in public, claiming that the Aurora Witch was nothing special.

To teach her a lesson, Luo You had infiltrated the branch where she was stationed, just like now.

Upon seeing that arrogant brat, Luo You had made one thing clear in the conference room: the arrogant little bitch’s fate would always be the same—

It wasn’t until the conference room door was opened by a magical girl on duty that they saw the brat unconscious.

Only then did they realize that Ereira had swaggered into their branch and brutally killed a magical girl, flipping her eyes back.

Judging by the scattered broken chairs, the scene had been nothing short of a massacre.

Now that she thought about it, Luo You didn’t even know the brat’s name.

She was apparently a rookie magical girl, newly debuted, without even a title.

To this day, Luo You hadn’t seen any news about her.

She probably had her spirit broken after that and never became a magical girl again.

But Luo You thought that was for the best.

Fortunately, that brat had run into her.

If it had been some other villain, given that brat’s personality, the outcome would have been a hundred or a thousand times worse.

“The Gray Witch…”

“Yo?”

Luo You looked up toward the corner of the upstairs staircase.

There stood the Broken-Wing Butterfly, coldly staring at her, with the Lark behind her. The atmosphere was tense and sharp.

“I thought you’d be as unprepared as before, when Ereira invaded and overpowered one of our magical girls, but it seems you’re better off this time.”

The Broken-Wing Butterfly’s expression immediately darkened — she was the head of that branch back then!

That incident had disgraced the branch’s reputation.

Fortunately, not many people knew about it because the information was strictly sealed, preventing further escalation, though rumors flew everywhere for a while.

The Lark looked completely bewildered — such a thing had really happened before? That was explosive!

But she was even more surprised that her elder sister had shown such obvious emotional fluctuation toward the Gray Witch.

Besides Ereira, there was actually another expert!?

“Ariel, I remember you said you weren’t interested in me. So why are you here?”

The Broken-Wing Butterfly’s cool voice carried no warmth.

It was also a subtle jab at Luo You for going back on her word.

Luo You casually pointed to the Lark behind her and said, “Don’t misunderstand. I’m not interested in you, but in her.”

“Eh?!” The Lark was startled.

The Broken-Wing Butterfly stepped in front of the Lark, blocking Luo You’s view.

“What are you trying to do?”

“What I do isn’t your business.”

“Are you trying to use her to go after me?”

The Broken-Wing Butterfly gradually raised her eyebrows and snapped, “I’ve been holding back toward you. You’d better not go too far.”

“Is that what you think?”

Luo You shrugged.

“Then just consider it that way.”

“Th-That…”

The Lark weakly raised a hand and asked, “Can I ask—”

“Shut up.”

The Broken-Wing Butterfly whispered sharply.

“Go back first.”

“Sis—”

“Obey me!”

“Be careful, sister.”

The Lark said worriedly, unwillingly heading downstairs.

But her silhouette seemed a little lonely, as if she were a married woman with a good husband who had recently been ignored because he was busy having an affair with his mistress.

A so-called empty nest…

“Oh ho…? Seems like I can make use of this.”

Luo You pondered.

“Don’t even think about making a move on her.”

The Broken-Wing Butterfly finally lost her restraint and angrily stepped in front of Luo You, her plump chest nearly pressing against Luo You’s, as if provoking her in this way.

Luo You’s attitude was unusually firm.

She didn’t retreat an inch or lean back.

Her cheek was slightly deformed from the pressure.

“Are you provoking me?”

“I’m definitely provoking you. What are you gonna do about it?”

Saying that, she puffed out her chest, finally stepping back a half-step under the pressure.

Though just a small step back, the Broken-Wing Butterfly found it extremely satisfying.

At the same time, this gave her some insight into Ariel’s character — this Gray Witch Ariel was not like Ereira, not the type to be lecherous toward women’s bodies.

“Seems like you really hate me.”

Luo You steadied herself again, avoiding a direct response to the provocation, and instead said, “Are you still holding a grudge because of what I said in public before?”

Of course, that was part of it, but 70% of the reason was what Ereira had said earlier.

“I heard you were once harmed by rumors and malicious gossip, leading to some unfortunate incidents?” The Broken-Wing Butterfly’s eyebrows instantly rose, and a murderous aura flashed in her eyes.

“Who told you that!?”

Luo You ignored her and continued, “Apparently, those rumors even dragged the Lark into it.”

“I’m asking where you heard that from!”

One hand grabbed her face, squeezing her small face until it was distorted.

“Ahah…”

Luo You wasn’t angry. Instead, she laughed, “Your behavior right now is quite unlike your usual image.”

After a moment of silence, the Broken-Wing Butterfly coldly said, “You can investigate all you want, but if you don’t have the guts to fight me head-on, you better not come out here to embarrass yourself.”

She then released her grip.

“Fine by me.”

“…Huh?”

“If you’re so eager to fight to the death, I’m guessing that bitch Ereira must have told you something, right?”

Ignoring the Broken-Wing Butterfly’s strange expression, Luo You sneered, “With her personality, she probably tried to stir you up to challenge me. That’s why you’re so eager. But it’s fine. If you want to prove yourself to Ereira, then come on.”

“I’m not doing this for—”

“The duel is in three days, but on one condition: today you have to make the news of our duel public.

As for the outcome, you can choose whether to make it public or not. If you accept, then it’s settled.”

The Broken-Wing Butterfly took a deep breath, repressing all her emotions, calm as before.

“Fine, it’s a deal.”
