Chapter 208: They recruited me but left me behind?

“What? You were actually recruited?!” After hearing Monice recount the events, Luo Shuangyue gasped.

‘You were recruited and didn’t even take me with you? Even Song Jiang took his brothers when he was recruited, but you, Monice, are so cold-hearted!’

“It’s not like you haven’t been recruited yourself,” Monice said, rolling her eyes.

Anyone in Eternal Night had the right to say that, except for Luo Shuangyue.

When it came to the timing and extent of being “recruited,” Luo Shuangyue was the earliest and most deeply involved. Several months ago, she was already entangled with a Magical Girl.

By now, she didn’t even bother to act anymore. She spent all day hanging out, eating, and drinking with Magical Girls. Did she even look like a leader of an Evil Organization anymore?

“I haven’t been recruited. I just found a Magical Girl girlfriend. How can that count as being recruited?” Luo Shuangyue flatly denied Monice’s accusation.

The love between her and Xia Mo was pure and innocent; it had nothing to do with the organizations they belonged to!

“I think you’re having so much fun that you’ve forgotten your own home.”

“No way. Didn’t I come back to work? Boss, what are we doing next!”

This question actually stumped Inis. She thought about it for a moment and realized there really wasn’t any work for Luo Xiangyue to do lately.

Originally, Luo Xiangyue was responsible for Eternal Night’s external military force, which meant playing around with other evil organizations.

However, times had changed. Recently, almost all the evil organizations that used to do business with Eternal Night had been wiped out by the Magic Department. Other organizations didn’t dare approach Eternal Night during this tense period.

In other words, besides Monice’s research and development department, the other departments of Eternal Night had been in a state of having nothing to do.

The Nightmares were gone, so they couldn’t exactly go looking for trouble with the Magical Girls and the Magic Department, right?

There were only a few Soul Butterflies in Xinghai City, and their relationship with Eternal Night was somewhat… ambiguous.

Luo Xiangyue’s family had practically monopolized the Soul Butterflies in Xinghai City. Furthermore, Jiu Ye had established a connection with Xiao Mimi. In Xinghai City, Eternal Night and the Magic Department were practically sister organizations.

When the high-level combatants of both organizations gathered, it was no different from a dinner among friends.

“Why don’t you go to the Guangfa Department to monitor the situation of the Transhumans?” Monice suggested, rubbing her chin.

To deal with the Cosmic Nightmare, the Guangfa Department had used her transformation technology to create a large number of Transhumans. Now that the battle was over, it was time to see how these Transhumans were adapting.

After all, this was currently Monice’s proudest achievement and a dream she had wanted to realize for many years. Naturally, she wanted to achieve perfection.

“Boss, that place is so far away, and I still have to go to school,” Luo Shuangyue complained to Monice with a bitter face.

Luo Shuangyue was only twenty-one this year, and she still had one year left before graduating from university.

This reason made Inis laugh out of anger. “Fine, then I’ll ask Cecilia to transfer your school records to the Magic Department. You can attend university there!”

The best school in the world was undoubtedly the academy directly under the Magic Department. The students who could study there were all top-tier geniuses, known as the hope for the future of humanity.

The academy’s recruitment method was simple and blunt. First, Magical Girls would be admitted directly, as long as they were willing to leave their hometowns to further their studies at the Guangfa Department. As for ordinary people who wanted to enter the academy, they had to go through many, many rounds of assessments.

The level of difficulty was roughly equivalent to plucking stars from the sky.

“Huh? For real?”

“Could it be fake? If you’re afraid of being lonely, you can take Rosemary with you.” Monice shrugged. “Xinghai City won’t stop functioning without the two of you. Don’t you both want to try a better opportunity for further study?”

Before, Luo Shuangyue’s identity was too delicate for her to go to school at the Magic Department. Xia Mo, on the other hand, couldn’t leave Xinghai City because she was the mainstay Magical Girl there.

Now that both problems were resolved, this matter could truly be put on the agenda.

“I heard that the Guangfa Departments in various cities have been organizing the Magical Girls under their command to head to the Headquarters. The war is over, so it’s time for you kids to catch up on the studies you missed.”

In the past, the Magical Girls had sacrificed a lot of time that should have been spent on learning in order to fight, resulting in the Magical Girls generally not being very well-educated.

Now, that sacrificed time could finally be made up. With the abilities of the Guangfa Girls, once they finished their studies, they would surely bring a brand-new look and atmosphere to the world.

“The power of magic will gradually permeate every corner of the world, and the Pioneers of this Magic Era will be us Magical Girls.” Monice’s expression became much more serious. She wanted Luo Shuangyue to know that she wasn’t joking.

She was very serious about letting Luo Shuangyue consider this choice.

“Besides, with your ability, wanting to go home is just a matter of an instant, right?”

If Luo Shuangyue was worried about her sister being lonely at home, she could just go home after class. It wasn’t that much trouble.

A simple teleportation magic would fix it.

“Hmm… then I’ll think about it.”

—

“Going to the Magic Department for further study? The Director did mention this, but I’m still considering it.”

At dinner, upon hearing Luo Shuangyue bring up the subject, Xia Mo wore a thoughtful expression. She did feel that going to the Magic Department to study was a good choice.

She had hesitated before because she didn’t know if Luo Shuangyue could accompany her. Now that she knew Luo Shuangyue could go too, her slight doubts vanished.

“Why wouldn’t you go when there’s such a good opportunity? Little Mo, Little Yue, and Little Xing—the three of you should go together.”

While snatching a piece of fried chicken from under Luo Shuangxing’s chopsticks, White Night spoke to her three daughters.

‘A daughter’s girlfriend is also a daughter, right?’

Having her fried chicken snatched by her mother, Luo Shuangxing looked at her mom indignantly. Why was her own mother so annoying!

She would rather not have a mom like this!

“You agree too, Mom?” Luo Shuangyue looked at her mother in surprise. She had thought her mother might have a different opinion.

“Of course I agree. Why wouldn’t I agree to a choice that makes you better? It’s not like you’re actually leaving your hometown and will never see us again.” White Night rested her chin on her hand, suggesting that Luo Shuangyue was overthinking.

They were Magical Girls. If they really wanted to see each other, they would find a way.

“I plan to go see other parts of the world later and discuss with the people from the Magic Department where to build new cities. It’ll be good for you to go to the Magic Department together so you can look out for one another.” After feeding the snatched fried chicken to her pouting daughter, White Night spoke to the three with a smile.

“Little Yue, although you’re very strong, learning more things will make you even stronger. So, think about it carefully.”
