Magical girls also have intensity anxiety

As Wu An flew home, Jin Yu stood across the street from the intersection near Changming No. 17 Middle School, waiting for the green light.

Unlike her glamorous image in the public eye, she was wearing a simple white dress today, her fair skin and wrists clasped together, twisting the chain of her handbag.

When the green light came on, she quickly crossed the road and stopped in front of the funhouse mirror at the school gate entrance.

In the mirror, the sun-like eyes that should have exuded domineering confidence now held a hint of unease.

She checked her flowing gold hair in front of the mirror one last time, making sure she looked presentable before entering the school gate.

Maintaining a spell that minimized her presence, Jin Yu's gaze was drawn to the school environment.

Given her age, she should be a freshman in college, yet she is now visiting her ward at a high school as a guardian.

The feeling is still quite subtle.

On the playground, there were students having physical education classes, as well as boys and girls playing together, exuding youthful energy.

A feeling of nostalgia welled up from the bottom of her heart. Like most magical girls, Jin Yu had dropped out of junior high school.

Therefore, she did not enjoy her high school years, but instead went to the General Administration for further training as a key talent.

Although the atmosphere at the headquarters was great, most of the magical girls of her generation were likable, and each of them had a memorable aspect about her.

But what they experienced afterward stained their once rosy memories with a layer of blood.

Whenever I recall these memories, sadness and pain immediately follow my longing.

Now, there are not many of her classmates left. It is unknown how many of them can reach the sixth rank. Will those who did not reach the sixth rank be able to enjoy their remaining life and find their own happiness?

Sometimes even Jin Yu wasn't sure whether it was better to become a magical girl with power or an ordinary person who was embarrassed when facing monsters.

If she could choose again, she would probably still choose to become a magical girl.

Even if it's just to prevent the present scene from being destroyed, she still hopes for it.

Jin Yu withdrew from her melancholy mood and began to ponder Mu Ming's class:

"Hmm... Class 1408 in the first year of high school, which is Class 11408."

If Mu Ming were standing next to him, he would definitely feel ashamed. He remembered his class not by the class number, but by his seat.

When the topic of Class 11408 comes up, he can't immediately recall it.

It's currently class time, and the classroom door is closed, but you can peek inside through the small window in the door.

Jin Yu peered through the small window like a homeroom teacher, scanned the area, and surprisingly couldn't find Mu Ming.

"Did you remember it wrong?"

She subconsciously thought about it and glanced again at the empty seat in the classroom.

"Probably not... Mu Ming is a good kid, he's just a little strange."

She started pacing down the corridor, going from classroom to classroom, checking every single one, until she had searched the entire first-year class, but still couldn't find Mu Ming...

"Did I come to the wrong school??"

Jin Yu was a little confused, but she still followed her memory and found the homeroom teacher's office.

It was indeed this homeroom teacher; she had seen her before and hadn't come to the wrong school.

"Could he have gone to the bathroom...?"

That's possible; in fact, it's highly likely.

Since that's the case, let's go in and talk to the homeroom teacher first, and see how Muming is doing.

"I wonder if I've caused any trouble for anyone? Will the homeroom teacher praise me?"

She thought to herself with a mixture of worry and excitement.

dong dong——

"Please come in."

Upon seeing Jin Yu, the homeroom teacher warmly exchanged a few pleasantries with him.

After exchanging a few words, the topic inevitably veered towards Mu Ming.

"Teacher, how has he been behaving lately?"

The homeroom teacher's smile froze a little.

Every time Mu Ming asked for leave, he would ask the homeroom teacher to call Jin Yu to seek approval.

If Jin Yu had known that Mu Ming had taken almost ten days off in a row, she wouldn't have asked questions like, "How have you been doing lately?"

After all, the homeroom teacher hadn't had much contact with Mu Ming.

Now that things have come to this, how could the homeroom teacher not realize that Mu Ming was using his guardian's permission to ask for leave?

Or perhaps the teacher had already realized it, but the students were unwilling to attend class, and given Mu Ming's special circumstances, the homeroom teacher acquiesced.

Now that Jin Yuwen has come knocking on the door, there's no other way but to sell Mu Ming.

The homeroom teacher silently took out an attendance sheet. A whole column of student names corresponded to rows of blank spaces, and most of the students' spaces were empty.

A few spaces had one or two filled with "leave of absence".

The only space corresponding to a student's name was filled with almost half a line of "leave of absence," making it stand out completely.

The homeroom teacher awkwardly handed the attendance sheet to Jin Yu, smiling sheepishly.

Jin Yu stared blankly at the attendance sheet, her face full of disbelief.

"He is..."

"I took the day off yesterday morning and didn't come."

"Um... um... doesn't taking leave require parental/guardian consent...?"

"Mu Ming said you have no objections."

Jin Yu really wanted to say, "I didn't agree."

Even the most oblivious person should understand the truth by now.

Jin Yu isn't stupid; she actually sensed something was wrong earlier, but she just didn't want to accept reality.

She had no choice at this point.

Jin Yu originally wanted to visit Mu Ming and treat him to a nice lunch, but now it seems there are more important things to do.

.......

"Um?"

Wu An's figure in the air suddenly paused for a moment.

For some reason, a strong sense of unease suddenly arose in my heart.

But this feeling came out of nowhere, which was very strange.

She glanced at the countdown.

【1427:24:16】

【1427:24:15】

There was no sudden jump in the second.

After checking the system and my body again, I found nothing unclean.

The unease was strange, but she slowed down, lowered her flight altitude, and instead expanded her magical perception to the limit.

Fifteen minutes passed, and still nothing unusual happened.

"Are you being paranoid...?"

As his heart palpitations gradually subsided, Wu'an withdrew his magic and sped towards his home, which was not far away.

Then, he immediately stopped and stared at her in disbelief in one direction.

It was an abandoned demolition site, left to rot without anyone cleaning it up.

Similarly, it was also a ruin where nothing was buried—the gift box that Zhu Huan "ordered" her to give to Jin Yu before she left.

Now, on the deserted demolition site, a monster resembling a dog is rummaging through the ruins.

Normally, it's impossible for calamity beasts to arise in places where there are no people; this is common sense beyond question.

An anomaly beyond doubt.

The most terrifying thing is that the ruins were just within my magic detection range.

But after searching inside and out for a quarter of an hour, he hadn't noticed the dog-shaped monster at all.

Even now that I see it, I can't sense any foul magic power on it.

Cold sweat had already started to trickle down my back without me even realizing it.

She stopped on the roof of a tall building, ensuring a safe distance, and began to observe carefully.

That calamity beast looked different. Ordinary calamity beasts are predominantly purplish-black in color, appear very murky, and the first thing they do when they appear is to go and kill someone.

The dog, which was as big as a mountain, not only didn't have the urge to kill, but was also rooting around the mounds of rubble, as if searching for something.

Furthermore, the appearance of the dog-like monster is not murky, but a dazzling and beautiful bright purple. From a distance, it looks like a beautiful crystal carving, without any sense of ferocity.

Wu An stood frozen in place... waiting, one minute, two minutes, three minutes...

Finally, a beautiful turquoise streaked across the sky—the Sky Patrol Bureau magical girl had arrived.

Wu An looked over nervously, and then... the magical girl ignored the calamity beast right under her nose and flew away!

It was as if they hadn't seen it.

Before long, the magical girl in the sky turned around and flew back. Her gaze fell downwards, carefully scanning every inch of the southern district of the city.

Wu An stared intently at her, and so... the magical girl in the sky once again ignored the conspicuous monster and flew away into the distance.
