Proving one's status starting with magical girls

Under the umbrella-shrouded curtain of rain, Li Jiangqun gently shook her head.

"I'm just guessing, after all, I've never actually transformed into a magical girl."

Being possessed by the master certainly doesn't count as a formal transformation.

"Jiangqun, would you like to transform?"

"Huh?"

Wang Fanfan stopped, holding up her umbrella, and the girl stopped as well.

The former took out his left hand, which he had been keeping in his school uniform pocket, and then opened his palm in front of the girl.

A seed of hope lies there quietly.

"I can lend you a seed of hope, would you like to try?"

Now, not only Li Jiangqun was stunned, but even the familiar hamster was dumbfounded.

It looked at the Seed of Hope, then at Wang Fanfan, who had a calm expression, with disbelief.

"Fanfan, you...you're going to give the Seed of Hope to someone else???"

"What? It's not allowed?"

"..." Tigi originally wanted to say that this violated the kingdom's rules, but then she thought about it and realized that she, as a contractor, had hardly ever followed the kingdom's rules.

If this had happened a few years ago, perhaps the Kingdom Guards would have been there to carry out the punishment.

But now, not to mention the Kingdom Guards, even the magical angels who go to the material world have become increasingly rare in recent years.

Seriously! Why are my contractors so troublesome?!

Seeing the familiar cross its arms and turn its head away angrily, Wang Fanfan's lips curled up slightly.

Despite her initial surprise, Li Jiangqun politely declined her offer.

On the surface, she said that she wasn't ready to become a magical girl yet.

In reality, the girl had already silently shed tears inside.

"How can I use up the chance to transform here, which is only allowed once before I begin cultivating Qi..."

"Oh, I see. Then forget it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Fanfan naturally stuffed the Seed of Hope into her pocket as if it were a melon seed.

Li Jiangqun: "..."

"Damn it, I really want to transform!"

The downpour continued to pound on the ground, and puddles filled the gaps between the sidewalk tiles, waiting for someone to step on them.

Two girls share an umbrella, while on the left side of the street, cars drive by one after another in the rain.

They stopped talking about magical girls and started discussing school life instead.

"By the way, Fanfan, you're in the student council, right? But you usually patrol during class. Doesn't that affect your studies?"

When faced with this question, the latter's answer was...

"Not studying."

"?"

"I am an officially registered magical girl, and I am eligible for direct admission to university."

"Joining the student council has nothing to do with those messy rumors."

"It's just to make it easier for me to carry out magical girl activities."

"Otherwise, I'd have to pretend to have a stomachache every time I go out, and it would be a real problem if the teacher thought I had a stomach problem."

Wang Fanfan said calmly.

"As expected! Magical girls are still the way to go!" Li Jiangqun shed tears of envy.

As the two were chatting, a black-haired girl squatting in front of the hardware store suddenly caught their eye.

"Fanfan-senpai!"

The two were taken aback, and then they saw a girl with long black hair, who seemed to be from the same school, running towards them excitedly in the rain.

Despite the heavy rain, the girl rushed under the umbrella in one go.

Li Jiangqun: ...Have I seen this episode somewhere before?

Unlike Li Jiangqun's confusion, Wang Fanfan's expression became very complicated after seeing the black-haired girl for the first time.

She looked down at the umbrella, then at the torrential rain outside, and finally gave up the idea of ​​turning around and running away.

She sighed, "Cheng Yu, you're with me all day long, don't you have to go to school?"

Cheng Yu chuckled.

"No, it's just a coincidence today!"

"What a coincidence that you're walking the same road as me?" She was somewhat speechless.

"Of course not!"

"Senior Fanfan, look! I've transferred to your school too!"

Cheng Yu straightened her chest, her half-wet school uniform jacket highlighting the curves of her chest. Li Jiang glanced at it subconsciously and saw that the school badge of Linjiang No. 3 Middle School was indeed on the clothes.

"Who is this student?" she asked with some curiosity.

She was fine if she hadn't made a sound, but as soon as she did, the latter looked over and then exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah, I know you! You're the senior in the video who could unleash sword energy!"

"Hello, senior, I'm Cheng Yu, a transfer student who arrived today!"

"By the way, I'm a magical girl just like Fanfan-senpai!"

Although the black-haired girl's clothes were mostly soaked by the rain, her vibrant appearance still made Li Jiangqun take a second look.

But when she heard her say that she was a magical girl, Li Jiangqun immediately realized something.

As everyone knows, there are very few magical girls in Linjiang City, but if we're talking about magical girls related to Bai Chi, or the most recent magical girl, there's only one.

"A magical girl just like Fanfan... Could you be Magic White Rain?" She was somewhat surprised.

"It is indeed me! The junior of Magic Blaze—Magic White Rain!" Cheng Yu said with great pride.

Wang Fanfan stood to the side, expressionless.

"Cheng Yu, read less Japanese light novels."

However, when faced with the senior's lecture, the junior simply crossed his arms in front of his chest and spoke righteously.

"You are mistaken, senior!"

"Magical girl is a borrowed term, so in order to better become a magical girl, of course you need to understand the related culture."

"To borrow the words of the esteemed Wang Yangming, this is called the unity of knowledge and action!"

"And the Vatican Magical Girls and German Magical Girls of the Global Magical Girl Alliance do the same thing!"

"But I, Cheng Yu, am a fundamentalist!"

The black-haired girl proudly puffed out her chest, silencing both of them.

A cold wind blew by, and a few drops of cold rain drifted into the back of the black-haired girl's neck, making her shiver.

Helpless, Wang Fanfan had no choice but to move the umbrella closer to her, and the latter immediately gave her a grateful look.

However, the space under the umbrella is limited, and when she moved, half of her body ended up getting wet.

Wang Fanfan: ……

A small, single-person umbrella is now crammed with three people.

……

From a high-rise building, a worm's eye gazes down at the three targets below.

Despite the howling wind and rain, the tall demon seemed to have a pure land on his body, untouched by a speck of dust.

"...Aren't you going to make a move?"

A cold, beautiful voice came from beside him, but the demon did not turn around.

"That magical girl is very strong." It spoke in an androgynous voice, its third eye locked onto one of the three figures.

"That magical girl named Shirayuki?"

"Exactly."

"She is, after all, a Shining-level, and even though she has only recently been promoted, she can still use the Melody." A figure emerged from the rain, her appearance stunning.

The demon remained silent.

"I can only hold her off. If that White Blaze joins the attack, even with the support of high-level magic, I won't be able to hold out for long."
