Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity Chapter 38

"Moving on to someone else?"

Susan said expressionlessly, "Although I have many opinions about Shion and don't want to say good things about her, objectively speaking, do you think any of us four can compare to Shion enough to make Jiang Si move on?"

"We have to try anyway." Yinluo said with a serious expression, "Having Jiang Si entangled with Shion is not only bad for Jiang Si's future life, but also bad for Keke's future."

Actually, it was bad for Yinluo's own life and future.

Who knew what kind of mood Yinluo was in when she saw these two mixing together...

Back then, because she was convinced that Jiang Si was using contaminated magic to strengthen himself, she simply told him to come find her if he couldn't hold out in the future—to be honest, she hadn't explicitly stated it, and her original wording was quite ambiguous.

If Jiang Si weren't so sensitive, he probably wouldn't have thought in that direction.

Even if he did think that way, she had plenty of explanations ready.

So Yinluo wasn't really worried when she said those things to Jiang Si back then—as long as Shion wasn't involved.

Once she became suspicious, her little tricks and schemes wouldn't be enough to handle it.

But still, as long as there wasn't conclusive evidence, the Azure Cloud Sect, even Shion herself, wouldn't casually kill people.

If they dared to kill someone, they would definitely leave evidence proving the person was a Witch Association member, otherwise the Disaster Control Bureau would have long since turned hostile and called for reinforcements from headquarters.

So as long as she didn't leave more evidence, Shion couldn't just attack randomly.

What she feared was Shion directly capturing her for interrogation.

Not to mention her unbeatable strength in Beihai, the Magical Girls within the Azure Cloud Sect not only had diverse abilities, but they were also quite well-developed, with plenty of methods to pry open her mouth.

Although she initially thought about immediately fleeing back to the Disaster Control Bureau, after quickly calming down, she realized that the more critical the moment, the more she couldn't run.

If Shion wanted to capture her, running back to the Disaster Control Bureau would be useless.

The situation hadn't completely spiraled out of control yet—she couldn't panic and flee back to the Disaster Control Bureau to expose herself when the other side hadn't done anything.

She needed to first figure out the specific situation.

At the very least, she needed to separate Jiang Si from Shion.

If it really came to the worst, she could only use her final means to escape...

"Again, I'll say it." Peony whispered again, "Are you sure this won't anger Shion?"

"So what we need to do is make Jiang Si show his ugly side, make Shion dislike him." Yinluo explained, "Seduce Jiang Si, let Shion discover he's not faithful, make her dislike him, then take the initiative to break up—then it has nothing to do with us."

"That makes sense, I'm just afraid she'll take her anger out on us."

"As the leader of the Azure Cloud Sect, she wouldn't lack that much magnanimity, would she?"

"Hard to say with girls in love..."

As for actually taking anger out on the Disaster Control Bureau, for the current Yinluo, she would naturally be happy to see that.

The more intense the conflict between the Azure Cloud Sect and the Disaster Control Bureau, the better her situation would be.

"Moreover, Jiang Si is clearly an inexperienced young boy."

Yinluo glanced toward Shion's direction; even though Jiang Si displaying his strength had attracted a lot of attention.

Actually, there were still quite a few people secretly stealing glances at Shion.

Even among Magical Girls, her appearance was quite outstanding. There was once a university laboratory that conducted research on the positive correlation between Magical Girls' looks and strength, but it was later ridiculed by the masses until canceled.

Yinluo originally only treated it as a joke, but now she somewhat wondered—maybe there really was a relationship?

Pulling back her thoughts, she said with a somewhat teasing smile, "Jiang Si might not necessarily like the most beautiful girl. What's more, everyone has their own strengths in looks and temperament—it's not like we're completely inferior to Shion. Maybe he likes other types. I've noticed along the way that his interest in Shion isn't that great either. Don't you think so, Silver Lotus?"

Silver Lotus, who was called by name, froze for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah..."

Her original intention was to have Silver Lotus try.

How could she, as her older sister, not know that her younger sister had some favorable feelings toward Jiang Si?

The two attended the same school. She also knew about the incident before when Jiang Si was being troubled by a teacher at school and Silver Lotus stepped in to protect him.

Her silly younger sister never hid anything from her.

Compared to the overly mature and steady Shion, Silver Lotus was more lively, and her relationship with Jiang Si wasn't bad either. Being at the same school meant more opportunities—trying wouldn't hurt.

It would also help her find out if Jiang Si had revealed what she said to Shion.

But unexpectedly, Peony volunteered again, raising her hand, "Leave it to me!"

Keke, Susan, and Silver Lotus all looked at her with strange expressions, and Yinluo even had a headache looking at this usually eccentric member of the Magical Combat Team, "Um, Peony, you're already a teacher, right? Teacher-student relationships aren't really appropriate..."

"We're not at school right now."

"I mean in terms of age..."

Peony immediately snorted, "What do you all know? This kind of little virgin boy is most susceptible to mature, charming older sisters. As long as I make a slight move, I'll easily win him over."

"You'd better be right."

Susan curled her lips beside her, "Charming older sister who's never been confessed to."

"As if you've received any confessions, Susan!"

"I received love letters in high school."

"I received some in elementary school too!"

Silver Lotus, who had been spacing out until now, furrowed her brows and knocked on the equipment beside her, "Quiet."

Although she was short, Silver Lotus's serious tone carried a certain authority. After all, she was the captain of the Magical Girl Combat Team and was accustomed to giving orders in daily life.

Susan and Peony, who had been arguing, quieted down and looked at Silver Lotus who had assumed her captain demeanor.

"This matter is important, we can't be careless. Peony, are you sure you want to try this?"

Peony nodded, "I believe I can do it, Captain. You have to believe in me too—when have I ever lied to you?"

"...You've lied plenty of times."

"Huh? No way?"

Sighing, Silver Lotus hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "Do you really want to try?"

"I really want to try."

Silver Lotus asked again, "You're not... actually liking Jiang Si, are you?"

"You might as well say I like Shion, Captain Silver Lotus." Peony said with a speechless expression, "This is just for the Disaster Control Bureau, and to prevent Jiang Si from going down the wrong path."

"You're so dedicated." Susan, who was beside her, originally wanted to mock her, but after glancing at Shion in the distance, she seemed to suddenly remember something.

She grabbed Peony's hand and said sincerely, "This mission is arduous, you must complete it successfully."

Not knowing what illness her friend had caught, Peony curled her lips, "Alright, leave it to me."

Over there, Silver Lotus finally stopped questioning, only whispering, "Don't push yourself too hard, it's fine if it doesn't work out."

"Don't worry, Captain, I'll definitely complete the mission!"

"Um, you don't have to definitely complete it..."

Watching Peony adjust her clothes and even intentionally reveal some skin, Silver Lotus couldn't help but say, "Is that necessary?"

"Visual stimulation is necessary, Captain. When has a little virgin boy ever seen this?"

Peony proudly patted her chest. Among the five girls, she had the best figure and the largest bust. Patting her chest like this had a somewhat boastful meaning:

"Shion is beautiful, but she's built like a little girl, thin as a board—nothing worth looking at. Boys prefer my type. As long as I act a bit more bold, I'll definitely make him blush and show his ugly side, then immediately get dumped by Shion."

"How do you know so much about this?"

"I'm at school every day dealing with those adolescent boys, of course I know. Those little brats always choose Chun-Li when playing Street Fighter, and Mai Shiranui when playing King of Fighters..."

"Alright, alright, I get it..."

As she watched Peony head over, Silver Lotus glanced back at Keke.

Listlessly lying on the equipment, staring blankly at Shion in the distance, Keke didn't know what she was thinking about.

Ever since seeing Jiang Si and Shion together, Keke had been somewhat spiritless.

Actually, it was understandable.

Keke admired Shion the most—Silver Lotus had known this since their first meeting.

Keke joined the Disaster Control Bureau to be able to catch up to Shion's shadow, meet Shion more often, and become friends with her.

And Jiang Si was the older brother she hated the most.

Her most revered teacher and her most hated older brother became a couple...

Silver Lotus didn't dare to speculate about Keke's current mood—it must be very complicated and painful.

Earlier at the cold drink shop, when Keke came out of the restroom, her eyes were somewhat red.

Although Silver Lotus's own mood was also complicated.

Nearby, Susan was arguing with her sister again. Hearing the tension was quite heavy, she didn't go over to intervene.

Her sister and Susan had never gotten along, but both were veteran employees of the Disaster Control Bureau and knew their limits, so she didn't need to worry.

Just as she was thinking about how to comfort Keke, Keke suddenly asked, "Yiyi, do you like Jiang Si?"

Silver Lotus opened her mouth, her face slightly red, her gaze somewhat troubled, "Like or something, I, I don't think so yet? We haven't known each other for long, although we've seen each other many times at school..."

She really hadn't thought about this question properly.

Jiang Si had been quite a famous figure at school before, causing trouble everywhere, fighting with delinquents, making Teacher Zhang furious but unable to do anything about him because even with so many skipped classes, the principal still insisted on keeping his school enrollment.

Silver Lotus had of course known about him for a long time, but back then she viewed him as a negative example. Although occasionally seeing Jiang Si fight, she still thought he was quite impressive.

But she was a Magical Girl after all—no matter how impressive ordinary people were at fighting, to her it was just like playing.

Later, after getting to know him because of Keke, many impressions changed. Because of his attitude toward Keke, Silver Lotus had times when she was dissatisfied with Jiang Si, but most of the time, she still felt Jiang Si wasn't that bad.

Just not that good either.

"Then, do you hate Jiang Si?"

Silver Lotus immediately shook her head, "No, although Senior Jiang Si has done some things that go too far, I still think Senior Jiang Si isn't a bad person. It's just that sometimes his personality is really terrible and makes people angry—if only he could change that."

At the very least, if he could communicate properly with Keke, she believed the relationship between the siblings wouldn't have reached this point.

Keke was dazed for a long moment, then whispered, "Then do you want to..."

After saying half the sentence, Keke suddenly shook her head and closed her mouth.

That wouldn't be good for Yiyi.

If she didn't particularly like him, contacting someone like Jiang Si and trying to date him would be harming Yiyi.

She raised her head and looked at Teacher Shion with some distress.

Just what part of Jiang Si did she fall for?

She couldn't understand.

...

Over there, the confident Peony had already walked near Jiang Si.

Since he was still weightlifting, many people were gathered around Jiang Si. Later, there weren't even any voices trying to strike up conversation—everyone just watched in shock and silence as the other continuously lifted barbells heavier and taller than the young man himself.

Everyone kept gasping, making the surrounding area somewhat oxygen-deprived.

Peony couldn't approach for a while and could only wait nearby.

Only when Jiang Si finished his workout did the surrounding people gradually disperse. There were almost no people around Shion either—although her appearance was outstanding, in a gym, she lacked the appeal compared to a monster like Jiang Si.

When walking together with Jiang Si, not many people stared at Shion.

With Jiang Si nearby, the men in the gym would only focus their gazes on this not-very-muscular guy with terrifying strength.

Peony also quickened her pace to approach, originally wanting to find an opportunity to strike up a conversation and display her charm, but Jiang Si and Shion walked all the way to a yoga practice area.

This terrifyingly large gym offered diverse services, including yoga practice areas and boxing rings.

The yoga practice area was empty now too. Peony looked up—yoga classes only started in the evening.

The two walked onto the yoga area wearing shoes, and the yoga coach who had been sitting by the wall looking at her phone immediately stood up, frowning and about to scold them.

But before she could speak, Jiang Si suddenly launched a fierce whip kick toward Shion's head!

Not to mention the yoga coach, even Peony was dumbfounded!

This kick absolutely held no restraint, its power was terrifying!

Yet Shion still faced it with a smile, casually grabbing the right whip leg that was almost blurred from speed in the air, then suddenly twisted it. Jiang Si's body could only follow by spinning in the air to avoid having his ankle broken.

Immediately followed by a front kick, fiercely stomping on Shion's arm, kicking away her hand that was grabbing his right leg, then landing steadily.

"You two..."

The yoga coach had only spoken half a sentence when Jiang Si rushed forward again, his fists and legs bombarding Shion like cannon fire!

Shion unhurriedly and steadily caught each of his attacks, then occasionally gave him a sudden palm strike on the arm, or a punch to the abdomen, or a casual kick to his ankle.

Before long, Jiang Si's body was covered in injuries, but he showed no intention of stopping.

Jiang Si had long wanted to try fighting his Magical Girl form with his full physical strength.

Although the gap was huge, without actually fighting, he would never know exactly where the differences lay.

Although the Puppet couldn't compare to his transformed Shion form, the magic power supplied earlier wasn't low, plus Qinghua's abilities were astonishing. The current Shion Puppet already had almost thirty to forty percent of his transformed strength.

Therefore, even while controlling it distractedly, dealing with his physical body's full-force attacks appeared quite effortless.

His speed was considered slow in the Puppet's eyes, so blocking attacks wasn't difficult. The occasional sudden strikes were because while controlling the Puppet, Jiang Si clearly saw huge openings.

These openings didn't even need to be seized—he could hit them casually.

It was difficult to resist not striking.

The yoga coach who originally wanted to speak moved her lips, watching Jiang Si crash into the wall with a bang, making the wall tremble and dust fall, then get up like nothing happened and continue attacking.

She picked up her phone and quietly sat back in her corner.

The other gym-goers naturally noticed this too, staring dumbfounded at the violent exchange between this young couple.

Finally, when Shion kicked Jiang Si's right knee again, Jiang Si immediately half-knelt on the ground, stopping his attack.

The left side of his face was bruised, his right wrist swollen, his left ankle trembling constantly...

He had completely and utterly lost.

"See, only this can be called a date, don't you think, Shion?"

Although beaten black and blue, Jiang Si's tone sounded exceptionally cheerful.

Being awkward and stifled all the way here, then fighting himself to his heart's content felt much more refreshing.

This was also the best way to end this date that he had thought of along the way.

Over there, Shion reached out to help him up, just saying softly, "As long as you're happy."

In such a violent exchange, Shion didn't even have a single hair out of place, her movements calm and effortless.

The gym-goers who had originally been attracted to Jiang Si now focused their gazes on Shion again.

They originally thought Jiang Si was already unbelievable, but they never expected his girlfriend to be even more incredible...

"This date was satisfying, let's come again next time."

"Whatever you say."

Watching the completely obedient Shion, Peony felt the disparity and absurdity of the world.

Was this the same person as that terrifying Magical Girl who coldly slaughtered Witch Association members?

Even more terrifying was that Jiang Si wasn't normal either?

Is this how dates are supposed to be?

Ending with a fight? And getting beaten black and blue, covered in injuries?

Seeing the couple come out of the yoga practice area, Peony immediately put her clothes back on, covering her skin.

Then turned and left.

Just kidding, who would want to seduce such a freak!

When she returned, facing numerous questioning gazes, Peony just smiled awkwardly:

"I feel like they're really a perfect match, made for each other..."

Three pairs of somewhat terrifying eyes instantly focused on her, and Peony was too scared to speak.

"Useless." Susan snorted, "Next, we'll see..."

Before she could finish speaking, the beautiful figure that had just been in the yoga practice area suddenly stood in front of the five of them.

The gentle smile at the corner of her mouth had completely disappeared, replaced by an expression that felt bone-chillingly cold.

As if she were a different person.

The purple-haired girl leaned forward slightly, emotionlessly scanning the group. The girls who originally wanted to stand up were forcefully pressed back into their seats by her gaze.

"Had enough watching?"

All five held their breath simultaneously.
