Even if you're a corrupted magical girl, you still have to try to redeem yourself.

The number on the display screen stopped at seventeen. After the elevator doors opened automatically, the first thing you could see was Baqi standing on tiptoe, half of her body peeking out of the room and waving vigorously at Yuuki Yuki.

"Come in, come in quickly!"

She was still wearing a casual hoodie, the style of which was quite different from when I first saw her, but what remained unchanged was the pair of legs exposed under the hoodie. This outfit certainly did not fit the stereotype of a rich man's daughter.

"Excuse me." Yuuki Yui took off her shoes and neatly placed them on the shoe rack in the entryway. She then entered the room with Baqi as she was led in.

The carpet at the entrance must be wool? Yuuki Yui didn't know much about these things, but it felt soft and comfortable underfoot; the entire room was almost entirely wooden flooring, with a pleasant woody scent; the walls were adorned with calligraphy and paintings by an unknown artist, and the cabinets were filled with exquisite ornaments that impressed her; there were many rooms, but all were closed, making it impossible to tell their purpose—her initial estimate was that the room must be over 200 square meters.

But is this really the kind of generic, understated luxury decor you see everywhere? It's so bland!

Yuki Yui silently complained to herself. The fully furnished apartment exuded an aura of wealth, but it was far from what she had expected.

Baqi led Yuuki to sit down on the sofa, then sat a little further away herself. She picked up a drink that had been prepared on the coffee table and poured Yuuki a glass: "Yuuki said this afternoon that she wanted something cold, right? I prepared some fruit tea, is that alright?"

“Of course.” Yuuki Yuen picked up her cup with both hands and took a small sip. Being in such an environment, and being a guest, she would definitely feel awkward and constrained.

It was my first time being invited to a girl's house, and I was definitely a little nervous.

Baqi's reaction was also somewhat unnatural, perhaps because she was in her own home and was obviously a little restrained.

An eerie silence fell over the room, and the two deliberately avoided each other's gaze, glancing unintentionally elsewhere.

It's so ambiguous, no, so awkward. It feels like the two of them are about to do something naughty.

Yuuki secretly glanced over, only to bump into Baqi, who was also secretly looking over at the same time. Their eyes met briefly before quickly looking away.

"Speaking of which, why did Inuyama suddenly think of inviting me?" Yuuki Yui didn't want the ambiguity to continue, so she had to take the initiative to break the strange atmosphere.

"Haha..." Baqi scratched the back of her head and laughed foolishly.

Baqi was just casually joking around, who would have thought that Yuuki Yukino would agree? Although she was overjoyed with the result.

If I had known Xiaoyuan was coming, I should have been prepared.

"Oh, right, actually it's like this, Xiaoyuan was a magical girl before, right?" Baqi stopped her silly grin and spoke rapidly, as if she was trying to explain something.

“Yes, that’s right,” Yuuki Yuuki replied.

"I don't know much about battles between magical girls. Although I know it's best not to transform, if I really have to transform, how can I fight if I don't know anything?" Baqi said seriously, and no one except her knew that this was an excuse she had just made up: "So I would like to trouble Xiaoyuan to help me with some special combat training."

Yuuki Yui, who had always lied to clear her name, never imagined that someone would lie to her. She readily accepted the reason that Tomoe had sent her for special training: "Oh, I see."

It's special training again. I hear the word "special training" at least once a day. It's giving Yuuki Enishi a psychological trauma. Why does everyone want to do special training?

But one thing is comforting: at least Baqi's special training won't involve using ropes.

The reason I was called here was actually this? I should have left my panties at home.

If asked why I brought underwear later, I'll just say that I knew I was going to have special training, so I brought a change of underwear.

Baqi did indeed remind Yuuki En that in the past week, she had encountered more than one situation that might require her to transform. For example, she was really panicked when she was tied up by Mizuno Yu. Although she managed to resolve the situation without transforming in the end, she still had to take it seriously.

If things really come to a head and she has to confront Mizuno Yu and Tenrai Herika, does she really have the ability to fight against these two magical girls?

The answer is no. No matter how powerful the Black Magic Runes are portrayed to be in the game, it's all fake. She didn't gain any powerful abilities from the Black Magic Runes.

But back to the special training, what can I teach? At least Baqi has thrown a few restraint traps before, but I haven't done anything like that.

“Okay, no problem!” But since Baqi had already asked her, Yuuki Yuuki’s pathetic pride made it impossible for her to refuse.

There seemed to be a few lines of relevant information in the game, so I just dumped them all on Baqi and let her figure it out herself.

Once Baqi has almost mastered it, then I'll have her teach me in return—no, I'll have her demonstrate it to me under the guise of an evaluation. The plan works.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at that familiar place again, Moonsea Park. The park was sparsely populated at night, making it a very suitable training location.

It was right here that they successfully escaped from Mizuno Yu's pursuit.

"Transform!"

A burst of light dissipated, and Yuuki Yuuki, transformed and dressed in that shameful demonic outfit, reappeared in the same spot.

Dressed in military uniform, Baqi stood to the side like a well-behaved puppy, looking at Yuuki Yuuki with a puzzled expression: "Yuuki, am I the only one who doesn't need to strike that embarrassing pose and shout 'Transformation'?"

"Uh, it's just a personal hobby, a personal hobby." Yuuki Yuuki coughed awkwardly.

"Wow, Xiaoyuan has this kind of hobby? So cool!" Baqi's eyes seemed to be sparkling: "Teach me too!"

Chapter Thirty-One: This thing is much better than a magic wand.

This transformation wasn't for battle, so Yuuki Yuuki had more time to experience the changes in her body after the transformation. First of all, her perception of magic became more acute.

Sensing magic is a novel experience. Before transforming, one is only at the level of "knowing that this thing exists." Only after putting on the magic armor can one feel the magic flowing through the body. The enhancement of physical fitness is probably due to this reason.

Not only can the magic flowing within the body be sensed, but even the magic outside the body can be sensed. To describe it, each person is a torch, and transformation is like lighting a torch in the dark, making it easy to sense where it is.

Of course, if the distance is far enough, it might not be so clear. Yuuki Yuuki was once again glad that she had chosen this training location as such.

"Xiaoyuan, teach me, teach me!" Baqi was still persistently repeating the position she had just practiced.

This lewd demonic outfit after transformation is already shameful enough; please don't make it any more embarrassing for me, please!

"Let's start training." Yuuki Yui abruptly steered the conversation back to the topic that Baqi had steered off course.

“Oh—what should we do first!” Baki clenched her fist with excitement.

“First of all…” Yuuki Yui hesitated for a moment.

How am I supposed to know what to do first? Shouldn't magical girls automatically learn all the fighting techniques after transforming?

"First of all, what are your skills?" After thinking for a long time, Yuuki Yui finally managed to come up with this question.

"Restraint Trap!" Baqi raised her palm, and a ball of dark red light condensed in her hand into the shape of a landmine.

Yes, that's true. Yuuki Yukino also tried to release the restraint trap in her mind, just like Tomoe Yukino. Sure enough, a similar ball of light appeared in her palm, but the shape it formed was a magic circle without light.

She remembered that after being corrupted, there was a common ability called magic plunder, which could be used to replenish magic power. If Baki could use it, she wouldn't need to come to her to replenish her magic power.

With that in mind, Yuuki Yui tried searching for information related to magic plundering, and the method came to mind.

"Pfft—" Yuuki Yukina saw the method of plundering magic power and couldn't help but spit it out.

What magic plunder? This is clearly Berserk Rape.

"What's wrong, Yuuki?" Seeing that Yuuki was acting strangely, Baqi threw the restraint trap on the ground next to her and leaned over with concern.

"No, it's alright." Yuuki Yuen crushed the trap in her hand to pieces; she couldn't tell Baqi about something like this.

When Yuuki Yui crushed the trap, she made a new discovery: things generated by magic should be countered with magic. So she unintentionally gathered magic at her fingertips.

Gathering magic power felt to him as simple as "exerting force," something he could accomplish entirely on instinct, yet there was always a feeling of "overexertion."

Yuuki Yui tried to concentrate her magic power, and as a result, almost all of her magic power gathered there at once.

It seems that distributing magic power at will is quite difficult, much like controlling the water temperature when taking a bath. Turning it too much makes it too hot, while turning it too little makes it too cold. It's hard to find the perfect balance.

Of course, Tomoe noticed Yuuki's obvious experiment and began to concentrate her magic power in a very convincing manner, just like Yuuki.

"This is quite difficult, so don't be impatient if you can't do it," Yuuki Yuen reminded her.

"Oh! It worked?"

"Huh? Are you sure? It's not about transferring all the magic power at once, but about selectively allocating the magic power according to your own ideas."

"Yes, it worked! It's actually quite simple." Ba Qi tried it again, her expression as if it were a given. "Can't Xiao Yuan do it?"

“Every magical girl has different talents and focuses, so don’t be complacent just because you succeeded easily.” Yuuki Yui didn’t answer directly, her tone tinged with sarcasm.

"Okay, I know!" Ba Qi slightly suppressed the smugness on her face.

“Ahem, next, different magical girls have different fighting styles, which is due to the differences in their wands.” Magic distribution and such are merely icing on the cake, and Yuuki quickly changed the subject: “What kind of wand do you have?”

"A wand? What is a wand? Is it a short staff made of phoenix feathers or elderberry, used to cast spells?" Baki clearly didn't know anything about it.

Since Baqi was tricked into becoming a magical girl, it's understandable that she lacks relevant knowledge.

"That's not how it is. We're magical girls, not wizards," Yuuki Yui couldn't help but complain, then cleared her throat and continued to explain, "A wand is more of a concept. It doesn't necessarily have to exist in the form of a staff. It could be a knife, a gun, or a hammer. Wands can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, but they will definitely be the most suitable for you. Don't worry about that."

“Then how can I get my wand?” Bage then asked.

“Listen to the voice of your own heart.” Yuuki Yui’s answer was mysterious and enigmatic.

Actually, it wasn't that she wanted such a vague answer; the real reason she said that was because she also knew nothing about wands.

The magic wand is a magical girl's weapon, which can be summoned and used at will in battle. Yuuki Yuuki believes that this should be as basic as transformation.

She tried to recall any information about the wand at first, but found nothing.

"Hmm, my own heart... it feels so difficult." Despite saying this, Baqi's hands began to glow, which was undoubtedly a symbol of magic.

No way?

Just like when Baqi casually pulled out the restraint trap, those light spots gradually began to condense into an illusory shape. This process was very slow, but it was visibly solidified.

Bage's wand gradually revealed its true form, a shape that could undoubtedly be described as a gun.

Normally, wands are either melee weapons or oddly shaped magic staffs, so it's quite novel to see firearms among them.

Although Bagheer's wand is a gun, it is not a modern firearm. Judging from the slender barrel that is more than half a meter long and the stock and trigger covered with metal engravings, it is more like a prototype of a rifle.

It's a matchlock gun; Yuuki Yukino recognizes it.

Baqi was also surprised and held the gun, carefully examining the weapon that belonged only to her in her hand, and couldn't help but raise her hand to stroke it.

"This is... my magic wand?"

Baqi's finger hooked onto the trigger, the matchlock gun arcing through the air around her fingertip before being firmly held in her hand.

Pulling the trigger, a spit of fire erupted from the muzzle, and a bullet flew into a tree not far away, embedding itself in the trunk.

"That's it?"

Baqi was very dissatisfied with the hole the size of a coin and was about to go forward to check it when a burst of fire suddenly erupted from the spot on the tree trunk where it had been hit, and splinters of wood crackled and fell with the falling tree.

Baqi stopped in her tracks, put her hands on her hips, and looked proud.

"Wow! That's amazing! This thing is much better than a magic wand."

Chapter Thirty-Two: Shooting and Blowing Up the Mountain, a Lifetime in Jail

"What's there to be excited about? This is a magic wand." Yuuki walked towards the tree that had been blown up by Baki and was now falling over, intending to examine the marks on it. As she passed Baki, she casually raised her hand and tapped Baki on the head.

"Hehe." Baqi was still grinning foolishly, very satisfied with what she had done.

Yuki Yuki crouched down in front of the broken tree trunk. The trunk had a hole in the middle section, and it broke because it could not support its original weight. Even though the tree was not very thick, with a diameter similar to a six-inch cake, the destructive power of Baqi's shot could be imagined if such a tree could be blown in half.

The explosion's area wasn't large; judging from the cross-section, it was roughly the size of a bowling ball. However, the explosive power was not to be underestimated. The ground was covered with a layer of charred wood chips from the explosion, so fine that calling them wood shavings wouldn't be an exaggeration.
