My ex-girlfriend is a magical girl junior?

Chapter 175 Starfrost and "Starfrost"

Inside the dilapidated classroom, the air froze instantly due to Xingxian's sudden and violent reaction.

The overturned chair made a jarring sound that echoed in the empty room, striking Yin Xue and Liu Li's hearts with a cruel thud, leaving them both stunned by this unexpected turn of events.

"Miss Hoshino, you—"

Yin Xue looked at the inspector who had been gentle and composed just a moment ago, but was now trembling and agitated, and was at a loss for what to do.

However, Xingxian ignored her question and rushed to Yinxue, grabbing her slender shoulders tightly with both hands, so forcefully that Yinxue felt a little pain.

She shook the other person's body violently, bombarding the bewildered Yin Xue with a barrage of urgent, almost inaudible questions: "What does the Senior Xing Shuang you mentioned look like?! Where is she now?! Let me see her!"

'

"Huh? Huh?!"

Yin Xue was so dizzy from the sudden, violent shaking that she was completely stunned and had no idea how to answer the barrage of questions, nor did she make any response.

Liuli, who was standing nearby, was the first to react. She immediately stepped forward and tried to pull Xingxian away from Yinxue: "Miss Xingxian, calm down, you're hurting Yinxue!"

However, at this moment, Xingxian was like a drowning person who had grasped at the last straw, all his reason and composure were swallowed up by that sudden hope.

The force with which she grabbed Yin Xue's shoulders was unexpectedly strong. Not only did Liu Li fail to separate the two, but she was also nearly pulled off her own balance by the unconscious movements made by the other party in his emotional state.

Amidst the chaos, a slender, fair hand gently rested on Xingxian's shoulder.

"Xingxian," Jiying's calm voice was as still as water, "calm down first. Yinxue is already reaching her limit. Can we talk this out slowly?"

Hearing Jiying's calm voice and feeling the force coming from his shoulder, Xingxian finally calmed down a little.

She slowly released her grip on Yin Xue's hand, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the overwhelming joy and anticipation that was threatening to engulf her. Her voice carried a hint of apology as she whispered, "I'm sorry—I lost my composure just now."

At the same time, she realized that the "Senior Xingshuang" mentioned by the newcomer named Yinxue should be the Crescent-level magical girl that Xiaoying had mentioned before, who was cooperating with her.

—Crescent-class?

—And moreover—just by defeating an independent mirror image created by Mirror Lord, "Star Tear" was damaged, and the Crescent-class temporarily lost its transformation ability?

Something's not right! This is completely wrong!

Senior One Star Frost—she shouldn't be like this! How could she—

Thinking of this, Xingxian's emotions, which had just calmed down slightly, became agitated again. She felt that the flame of hope that had just been ignited in her heart could be extinguished by the cold reality at any moment.

But she managed to suppress her impulse, turned her head, and cast her complex emotions into Ji Ying's eyes. In a calm tone, she cautiously inquired, "Xiao Ying, your business partner, her code name—is it 'Starfrost'?"

Looking at Xingxian's unusual behavior, Jiying felt a sense of foreboding, but since things had come to this point, she couldn't deny it and could only nod silently.

Having received an affirmative answer, Xingxian's body swayed almost imperceptibly. She took another deep breath, as if she needed to use all her strength to maintain her composure.

She glanced at the three people before her, her voice trembling slightly, and earnestly requested, "It seems—you've all seen that magical girl named Starfrost. Could you please describe her appearance and her fighting style to me?"

"This is really—very important to me."

Recovering from her daze, Yin Xue rubbed her aching shoulder.

Although still shaken by Xingxian's earlier outburst, seeing her earnest expression now, he still wanted to do his best to help her.

She blinked, then suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Ah, describing it might be a bit troublesome. I have a photo of Senior Xing Shuang here!"

Upon hearing the word "photographs," Ji Ying's expression immediately turned somewhat strange.

—When did this girl—take such a secret photo of me as Xingshuang?!

Although alarm bells rang in her mind instantly, seeing the light in Xingxian's eyes when Yinxue spoke, she knew that now was not the time to dwell on this.

Xingxian's current behavior is clearly very abnormal.

"Really?! Quick! Show me the photos!" Xingxian's tone became urgent again. She almost instinctively reached out her hand, her eyes filled with pleading.

"Okay, okay, don't rush me!"

Yin Xue was startled by her reaction and hurriedly took out the phone with the pink cat ear case from the "Tears of Stars" on her chest.

She skillfully unlocked the screen, opened the photo album, and her fair fingertips quickly swiped across the screen a few times before finally bringing up a photo and handing it to Xingxian.

Xingxian's heart began to pound uncontrollably. She trembled and almost reverently took the phone from Yinxue's hand.

—Senior Xing Shuang—Is it really you?

Are you really in this city?

However, the moment she saw the contents of the photo, the flame of hope that had just ignited in her eyes was extinguished at a visible speed.

The background of the photo appears to be a large shopping mall, a common sight in many places.

The photo did not show the senior she longed for, the one in the magnificent combat suit who shone like a god in her eyes.

Yes, there were two ordinary-looking strangers embracing each other tightly.

One of the girls had short, ear-length black hair, and her face showed a hint of shyness and unease, but her eyes were full of peace and dependence. She looked like an ordinary person. The other girl, who was holding her tightly in her arms, had long black hair tied in pigtails and a pair of deep purple eyes. She looked like a magical girl who had been disguised.

but----

Xingxian's gaze was fixed on the black-haired girl with pigtails.

It wasn't her.

It's not her at all!

Although the girl in the photo has delicate features and a warm smile, she is indeed lovely and charming, and has deep purple eyes just like Senior Xing Shuang.

But neither her slightly immature facial features nor her similar figure to Xiao Ying beside her bore any resemblance to the tall, elegant, and extraordinary senior Xing Shuang in her memory!

But perhaps—

Clinging to her last shred of hope, she raised her head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this Xingshuang in the photo disguised?"

Yin Xue nodded, puzzled, and replied, "Yes! That day, Senior wasn't wearing her combat suit, and her hair color was different from usual."

She paused, then added, completely shattering Xingxian's last shred of hope: "However, Senior's figure and appearance are exactly the same as in the photo, completely unchanged!"

Body shape and appearance — exactly the same as in the photo —

It really wasn't her.

—The person they called "Senior Xingshuang" was not the legendary senior they had been searching for so long and longing to see again!

After the extreme disappointment, what surged into my heart was not sadness, but a kind of anger of being desecrated and offended.

The code name "Starfrost" was so sacred and so dazzling in her heart, and in the hearts of countless younger magical girls in the Magic Kingdom!

That legendary magical girl who left behind countless glorious achievements, single-handedly slaying a calamity-level Void Beast, and who is regarded as an idol and a role model by countless successors—

That code name, which to her was as sacred and inviolable as the North Star in the night—

Now, it has been stolen by a magical girl who is merely at the Crescent Moon level and couldn't even completely defeat a mere clone of a Void Apostle?!

"She was clearly just a new moon—"

Xingxian's voice trembled slightly with anger. She raised her head, her silver-gray eyes devoid of any of the previous excitement and pleading, filled only with rage and disbelief, staring intently at Yinxue and Liuli: "Why—how dare you use Senior Xingshuang's code name without permission?"

"This behavior is utterly incomprehensible!"

Faced with Xingxian's sudden and hostile question, Yinxue, though still somewhat intimidated by the Inspector's authority, couldn't help but furrow her brow slightly when it came to her most admired senior, Xingshuang. She mustered her courage and retorted, "Why can't Senior Xingshuang use this code name? Is there a rule in the kingdom that forbids the use of the same code name?"

Liuli stepped forward to stand beside Yinxue, her icy blue eyes also showing displeasure. With an even more forceful and unfriendly tone than Yinxue, she said in a deep voice, "Senior Xingshuang is Senior Xingshuang. What do you mean by 'using this code name without authorization'?"

Xingxian looked at the two girls in front of him who were firmly defending the "Crescent-level Starfrost" and even harbored hostility towards him, and felt utterly absurd.

She looked at the two of them with an incredulous expression, and raised her voice slightly as she asked, "That's Senior Starfrost! One of the most powerful Sun-level cultivators in the history of the Magic Kingdom!"

"Don't either of you know anything about her?!"

Liuli snorted coldly and replied without any politeness, "Of course we know Senior Xingshuang, but I'm afraid it's not the one you're talking about."

Although her first impression of Xingxian was good, she had been belittling and questioning Xingshuang, whom she relied on and admired the most, since the beginning of the session. Moreover, Xingshuang had just made a rather rough move towards her best friend.

Therefore, Liuli's attitude towards Xingxian unconsciously turned sour.

"If you're looking for that Xingshuang senior you mentioned," her eyes grew even colder, "I suggest you look elsewhere."

Hearing Liuli's words, which were tantamount to expulsion, Xingxian was completely enraged.

She spat out a few words through gritted teeth, her voice so cold it seemed to freeze the air: "What—did—you—say—?"
