Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 371 Bai Jingxuan's Test

When Bai Jingxuan stepped into the examination room with a slightly uneasy expression, what she saw was a space that was almost entirely decorated in white.

The floor, walls, and ceiling were all flawlessly pure white, and even the lighting was completely free of any blemishes. The room contained many large pieces of equipment, seemingly of unknown purpose and in standby mode; their white casings emitted a soft hum in this quiet space.

In the center of the arena stood two women in white coats. Their gazes did not fall on Bai Jingxuan upon her arrival. At this moment, the two women were looking down, frequently tapping on the light screen in front of them, seemingly recording something.

boom.

The examination room door closed behind Bai Jingxuan, and the perfectly timed noise made the two people who seemed to be examiners raise their heads.

"Candidate number 20000103922, Bo Xue, is that right?" one of them asked.

“…Yes.” Bai Jingxuan stood at attention and replied.

"Okay, now we'll begin testing and evaluating your magic armor. The first step is to test your ability specifications. Go to the machine on the far left of the exam room to register your information."

The examiner who spoke first pointed to the side of the room: "The procedure is very simple. Extract your magic armor, then stand still and wait for one minute while the instrument scans you."

"okay."

Bai Jingxuan simply responded and obediently walked in the direction the examiner pointed.

She didn't intend to ask any more questions; in fact, she was hoping the examiners wouldn't pay too much attention to her. After all, only she knew her own situation, and this assessment was probably the moment when her residual beast magic would be most easily exposed.

From the moment they set off from Fangting City until the official start of the assessment, Cuique had repeatedly emphasized to her the importance of concealing herself. There were many spectators during the previous maze assessment, and this assessment would undoubtedly have many eyes watching from the shadows. If she revealed anything she shouldn't at this point, even Emerald would have a hard time getting her out of trouble.

Bai Jingxuan was very obedient, and she wanted to become a powerful magical girl, so she didn't want to expose any problems. But the more anxious she became, the more nervous she became.

Admittedly, she had undergone extensive study and training to conceal her magical abilities. Not only had she learned the art of turbidity from Margaret in Fangting City, but she had also continued her self-training since arriving in the kingdom. Theoretically, she should have no chance of being exposed now. However, nervousness is often irrational, so much so that as she walked among the equipment, her toe accidentally kicked the sharp corner of a device, nearly causing her to fall.

This drew the examiners' attention to her position.

Fortunately, they didn't pay too much attention. Among the candidates taking the assessment, there were many who were even more nervous than Bai Jingxuan; in fact, those who weren't nervous were in the minority. So, they quickly refocused their attention on the data work at hand.

Bai Jingxuan walked dejectedly to the corner of the room, carefully uttered "Heavenly Sound," and revealed her magical armor.

At Cui Que's suggestion, Bai Jingxuan has refrained from wielding her magical armor as a melee weapon for the past two months, mostly relying on magic to support it. At the same time, she has also begun to utilize Tianyin's abilities more in her battles. Although this multitasking is quite challenging, it has indeed caused the magical armor's form to evolve in a positive direction.

Compared to two months ago, the appearance of Tianyin's magical armor has changed considerably. The most obvious change is that the stand, which had almost become a hammer handle, has been shortened even more. Now, it looks like a music box again, rather than a hammer that can play music.

The scanning process went smoothly, and a minute later, the instrument in front of Bai Jingxuan lit up with a green indicator light, indicating that the data entry was complete. At the same time, the examiner's voice rang out from nearby:

"Your magical activity is very high, and the manifestation of your true form is relatively low. However, judging from the magical energy fluctuation field, your magical equipment's specifications are quite good, at least level 3 or higher." While checking the data on the light screen in his hand, the examiner asked, "Are you currently at the Leaf level?"

"Yes." Even though she knew she had passed one hurdle, Bai Jingxuan still appeared rather reserved.

"A level 3 wave field at the Leaf level, and the manifestation level is so low... Unbelievable, it doesn't seem like the kind of data that would appear on a single piece of magic equipment. Generally speaking, only a group of magic equipment would have such a value as yours."

The examiner continued reviewing the numerical values, a hint of surprise appearing on his previously calm face: "There is no direct interference from the magical body, but there are interactions and indirect effects. Your magical armor's ability is to apply status effects to yourself or others?"

"Yes."

"Interesting, very interesting..." Judging from his expression, the examiner was completely energized after hearing Bai Jingxuan's answer.

"Excuse me, what do those words you used mean?" Seeing that the other person didn't seem to have noticed her problem, Bai Jingxuan regained some courage, and her curiosity naturally resurfaced.

Which words?

"It's something like magic fluctuation field, saltification, snake chasing and stuff..." Bai Jingxuan whispered.

"Oh, these are some professional terms, some indicators related to magical armor. You kids don't need to learn them."

The talkative examiner blinked, looking at Bai Jingxuan's reserved and cautious demeanor, and gave a relatively kind smile, refraining from correcting or mocking the "child's" obviously off-topic recitation.
"However, I can explain the concept of a magic fluctuation field to you. Generally speaking, the concept of a magic fluctuation field is 'the depth of its influence on the world.' If you find this difficult to understand, you can also understand this concept directly as 'the strength of the ability.'"

"The strength of the ability...?"

Bai Jingxuan repeated, "Then, what is this so-called Level 3?"

"A magical girl whose abilities are relatively average, after awakening her magical armor at the bud level and undergoing a period of training, will generally have a magical armor wave field with a strength of level 1."

Perhaps because they were interested in Bai Jingxuan's magical attire, the examiner was exceptionally patient: "When she reaches the Leaf level, her wave field will be level 2, while at the Bud level it will fluctuate between level 3 and 4, and at the Flower level it will be around level 5 to 6."

"So, what I mean by Level 3 is..."

"Yes, much stronger than the average person."

The examiner affirmed Bai Jingxuan's statement: "In fact, it is almost impossible to achieve this level of fluctuation field at the Ye level, unless your magical foundation is extraordinary."

Her next words sent chills down Bai Jingxuan's spine.

—"Or rather, based on this data, there is no doubt that you should be a drifter."
