Starting with "The Demonic Cultivation," I had no choice but to pretend to be a magical gi

"There's no need to deliberately look for directions."

Zhu Baiyu shook her head, closed her eyes, and her consciousness gradually faded away.

Although he cannot transform, his intuition remains despite years of walking on the edge of life and death.

"Once this device is activated, it will draw energy from the surrounding area like a bottomless pit. At that time, you will only need to sense the area with the highest concentration of magic to know where the limit stabilization device is."

She suddenly opened her eyes, her long sword pointing in one of the directions.

"This way."

An Ruosu: ?

Holy crap, there's a cheater!

Even without transforming, she could only barely sense the magic in the environment, and making judgments based on that was no easy task.

All I can say is, if you're bad at something, you just need to practice more.

Even the red spider lily would be puzzled: how did you find it when it wasn't visible or on the map?

An Ruosu glanced in that direction, but didn't doubt whether Zhu Baiyu was pointing randomly.

"Let's go then."

……

"boom--!!!"

On the other side, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

Even a powerful bombardment at close range didn't do much good for the butler monster; its entire body was blasted into a daze, and it could barely get up for a long time.

Once it gets back up and its ultimate attack is fully charged, everything will be alright.

Unfortunately, Gu Yun didn't give it that chance at all.

While the butler monster was still stunned by the explosion, Gu Yun swiftly rushed over, grabbed the black dagger that had fallen to the ground, and stabbed it back into the monster.

Where do we come from, and where are we going?

Hey bro, you dropped your dagger, here you go, you're welcome.

So, the butler monster with only half a body really lost it this time, and unsurprisingly, he was defeated.

The thing that could defeat it was already in its hands from the beginning.

"Cough cough..."

Lilia coughed from the choking, and the toy rocket launcher in her hand clattered to the ground. Now that the excitement had worn off, a feeling of exhaustion surged up instantly, and she could barely stand.

"careful."

Then a pair of large, tangible hands firmly supported my arm.

Gu Yun had somehow appeared beside her, his face still expressionless, yet it gave Lilia a sudden jolt.

"Well done."

He was in a good mood, glanced down at the young master, and casually praised him.

"Hmph, of course!"

Lilia propped herself up on her weak legs, trying to stand up straight and strike a confident pose like a pufferfish, but the limp feeling was just too difficult, making it impossible for her to stand upright.

"Gu Yun..."

Lin Zhixia glanced at the actions between the two people and didn't know what to say for a moment. She was trying to organize her thoughts.

"Now that we've defeated the monsters, shouldn't we continue on our way?"

After all, this place is not safe. With such a commotion just now, it's hard to guarantee that other monsters won't wander over later.

"Yes."

Gu Yun responded to her, saying that it's better for junglers to roam around more; staying in one spot all the time makes them easy to get caught.

Upon hearing this, the golden-haired young lady, who hadn't even caught her breath, immediately pulled out a black card from under her skirt and shoved it into Gu Yun's hand.

What does that mean?

Gu Yun looked at the card, then glanced at the young lady, feeling only a sense of awe and wonder.

"Take it!"

Lilia raised her fair chin, her sapphire-like eyes still slightly moist, but the confidence unique to the wealthy had regained its dominance.

"There's five million in the card, and the PIN is six eights."

Gu Yun pondered for a moment, then decided that he shouldn't accept something for nothing and that he should find out what was going on.

After all, the guy who bet against him before had said that if he did a good job, it wouldn't be impossible to multiply the 500,000 tenfold.

Could it be that you already anticipated the young lady's habit of giving away five million without a second thought?

"Is this a thank-you gift?"

He reached out and pinched the card, tentatively speaking.

"This is the deposit."

Lilia snorted, crossed her arms, and said this.

I've got my eye on you.

Lin Zhixia: ?

She felt her mind couldn't process it all; her wine-red eyes widened in disbelief.

Isn't this progress a bit too fast?

You two have only known each other for a short time and met a few times, so why are you suddenly jumping to the topic of whether you're attracted to each other?

Lilia was completely unaware of how misunderstood her words were.

"I think you're very intelligent, and your personality is alright too..."

The girl's words were vague.

"In short, come and be my agent. The price is negotiable, and I'll give you ten times your regular salary."

Lin Zhixia suddenly looked up and immediately understood what it meant.

Oh no, it's coming for me!

He's already my agent.

The girl with long flaxen hair spoke quietly, her voice not loud, but her stubbornness was quite obvious.

"At least until the end of the auditions, it was like that."

The manager of a magical girl is not something that can be changed at will. It's a matter of shared fate, where one's success or failure affects both. If either one falters, both will fail to pass the test.

Lilia's act of poaching people right in front of her is undoubtedly a pure provocation, equivalent to telling Lin Zhixia that she is going to eliminate her.

That won't do, of course.

Lin Zhixia is determined to become a magical girl.

"what?"

Lilia finally reacted after hearing this, and was still a little dazed as she pointed to the mess around her.

"What kind of time is this? The auditions haven't even officially started and they've already been interrupted. Our top priority right now is to get out of here alive. After such a terrible thing happened, the auditions will probably have to start over."

She couldn't quite understand Lin Zhixia's thoughts.

Even if we take a step back and assume we don't get elected this year, we can always try again next year.

Lilia had a very clever plan; she didn't necessarily intend to eliminate Lin Zhixia.

After Lin Zhixia's cool speech, she had already designated her as her future teammate.

A group of four magical girls would be perfect. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I, Lin Zhixia, and Zhu Baiyu went together to find Fengling and debut as a group?

As for the other magical girls in this year's competition?

Sorry, we're not related, I don't know you.

In that case, what's the point of distinguishing between "yours" and "mine"? As members of the same group, does that mean Gu Yun can just ignore her?

Lilia considered herself to be a very meritocratic person.

Unfortunately, Gu Yun and Lin Zhixia shared the same idea.

After all, he was the one who brought them out.

"The preliminary rounds aren't over yet."

Gu Yun casually stuffed the card into his pocket, but his words remained righteous and indignant.

"Since it's not over yet, we have to deal with it properly. I think we can discuss this matter privately later."

After all, we can't let go of the young master's coattails, as it concerns our progress in the Magical Girl Association, and we can't be too absolute about it.
