Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

"We are friends of hyacinths."

“More than ten people come here every day looking for Hyacinth, all claiming to be her friends.” The security guard rolled his eyes. “Who are you trying to fool? I know you’re Hyacinth’s fans. First, she’s no longer involved in magical girl activities. Second, she’s not meeting with fans for the time being. Third, she has no plans to participate in idol activities.”

It's clear that hyacinths are very popular...

However, it's understandable. Before Silver Lotus, Hyacinth was always the face of BH City's magical girls, but she gradually lost her popularity after being forced to retire by the Disaster Management Bureau.

Moreover, Hyacinth is one of the few magical girls who openly reveals her identity.

Therefore, quite a few people were able to find her.

This is also why Susan thinks Hyacinth suspects she is a member of the Witch Association. After all, it's not easy to find other magical girls in the Witch Association, and Hyacinth is their only option if they want to bewitch the magical girls in BH City.

After inspecting the security guards and internal defense equipment, only the electrified railings and the security guards themselves posed a significant threat.

Rushing in wouldn't be a problem. I'm a minor, and the school isn't some high-risk, secret place. Even if I get caught, the police will at most detain me.

If you don't get caught, you can pretend nothing happened.

You can give it a try.

He turned around and planned to lead Yu Mo around to the back. As long as the electric shock on the railing didn't last long, it wouldn't penetrate his well-trained body.

However, after taking only a few steps, a dark figure walked over from the teaching building of Qiyun Academy.

Her entire outfit was a sailor uniform similar to the one worn by the Fourth Middle School, but it was pure black, so black that it was almost blinding.

Her hair, pupils, clothes, and almost her entire body were black, creating a stark contrast with her pale, almost sickly skin.

Those black pupils were hollow and looked somewhat lifeless, giving that delicate, doll-like face a slightly inhuman feel.

It really looks like a pitch-black doll.

Moreover, it's the kind of prop you'd see on a horror movie set.

Hyacinth stopped at the door and turned to look at Jiang Si. "You must be Jiang Si, the brother of the newly minted magical girl that Susan mentioned. Take off your clothes and let me see."

Chapter Nineteen: The Cultivation World is Cruel

Qiyun College, the small park.

As a private, elite school, its environment is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary schools.

The park's design is quite luxurious. The central fountain and the surrounding grove of trees sometimes make people forget that this is actually a school. The grove of trees is made of expensive red horse chestnut trees from abroad, which I heard were sponsored for free by the parents of a student.

Occasionally, you can see some students strolling in the grove, or sitting under the trees reading. As school ends near dusk, the setting sun casts its weary rays, adding a touch of tranquility and languor to the refreshing little park.

If it weren't for some shirtless teenager showing off his muscular physique...

Hyacinth stared at his right arm for a long time before her empty pupils finally moved. "Alright, put your clothes on."

Yu Mo, who was standing next to her with her face flushed and her hands covering her face, but who kept peeking through her fingers, heard this and quickly handed over the clothes next to her.

Hyacinth laughed and said, "Your girlfriend is really shy."

Jiang Si, still dressed, glanced at her and said, "She's not my girlfriend."

"Oh, so it's even worse if your girlfriend didn't bring her here."

"My friend is going the same way."

Yu Mo nodded like a chick pecking at rice beside her.

Hyacinth suddenly told Jiang Si to take off his clothes, but of course it wasn't because she was interested in his body.

After Jiang Si finished dressing, Hyacinth rested her chin on her hand and said elegantly, "It seems that Susan can also misjudge people. She told me that you can jump five or six meters and not touch the clouds, so you might have an affair with a witch."

As Jiang was getting dressed, she thought about Susan's previous attitude.

It's unclear whether that woman did this out of revenge or to clear herself of suspicion.

But it doesn't matter, he's not an introverted person anyway.

He never minded having his well-trained body seen by others. When he got into the swing of training at the Qingyun Sect, he would simply take off his shirt and train shirtless until he was drenched in sweat. Then he would go to the entrance of the Illusion Moon Cave and take a shower to feel refreshed.

However, whenever he gets engrossed in it, the rock candy will drive away the other magical girls.

Now that Hyacinth is going to be inspected, Jiang Si naturally has nothing to be shy about, and he even planned to take off his clothes to show them off at the school gate.

There were many people around, but he had absolute confidence in his muscles.

However, Hyacinth herself eventually felt it wasn't quite right, as it would affect the school's atmosphere, so she brought them to the secluded Qiyun Park.

“There are no traces of a witch’s curse on you,” Hyacinth said, pointing to her pupils. “If there were, they wouldn’t be able to fool my Demon-Detecting Eye. Besides, there’s no demonic power from the Calamity Beast right now. It seems Susan made a mistake. She’s always so careless.”

Compared to Susan, Yinlian, and even Yinluo, Hyacinth's composure and maturity, honed by years of battlefield experience, stood out remarkably.

That's quite normal. Back when the Disaster Management Bureau branch was first established in Beihai, the first magical girl they found was Hyacinth.

As a magical girl, Hyacinth's most unique feature is her ability to detect magic.

Most magical girls, even from the very beginning, can exert some of their power through Miracle Seeds without needing to transform.

However, without the Miracle Seed, the power of all magical girls cannot manifest in their physical bodies.

Jiang Si had tried this countless times and confirmed that it was an absolute dead end.

However, Hyacinth's Magic Eye allows her to use the power of a magical girl without needing to transform or use a Miracle Seed as a medium, and even to reside permanently in her physical body.

As a price, even if she doesn't go blind, the world she sees is completely different from that of normal people; it's said to be completely colorless.

It wasn't just simple black and white; it was colorless, which is why the magic was so prominent in those eyes.

Because only magic has color in her eyes.

Therefore, before coming here, Jiang Si had already cleansed all the magic power from her body, so the other party could not see any magic power at all.

In the Qingyun Sect, the most basic training is the control of magic. Every magical girl must learn how to control subtle magic, how to prevent magic from leaking out, and how to hide her own magic.

Because of the relationship between Qingyun Sect and the Disaster Prevention Bureau, once exposed, it would be easy for the Disaster Prevention Bureau to block their way.

This set of introductory techniques is the result of Jiang Si's efforts over the years, because the first step in developing the power of magical girls is to perfectly control magic.

In the online novels he had read, this was the most basic of the basics. Those who relied on taking drugs to level up without a solid foundation were mostly weak and superficial. Of course, the disciples of Qingyun Sect would strictly enforce the basics.

As the originator, Jiang Si's control over magic is unparalleled.

Even if Hyacinth's magic-detecting eyes bled from staring, she still couldn't see a single trace of magic in him.

Back then, the Disaster Management Bureau didn't know that the clouds were used to monitor the magic power of disaster beasts. Plus, they were used to having a little bit of disaster beast magic power around them, which is why they fell for it.

"However, your ability to jump five or six meters at a time is clearly still influenced by magic."

Seeing Hyacinth's slightly thoughtful expression, Jiang Si took the opportunity to give her the official reason for coming to see her: "The people from the Disaster Management Bureau also told me that if you are related to a magical girl by blood and live with her, you will be more susceptible to magical influences. I want to know if I will continue to be affected by magic in the future?"

"The Disaster Management Bureau has observed some such phenomena, but it's not actually a widespread phenomenon; it's related to each person's constitution." Hyacinth looked at him with interest. "But your sister hasn't been a magical girl for very long, has she?"

"She received the miracle seed very early on."

A year ago, when he was cleaning, he saw Jiang Keke's miracle seed.

Jiang Keke didn't actually hide anything—at that time, the news blockade against magical girls in BH City had just ended, and not many people knew about Miracle Seeds, so there was really no need to hide it.

Moreover, the relationship between the two siblings had already reached a freezing point at that time, so Jiang Si wouldn't ask, and Jiang Keke would definitely not explain.

“I saw it two years ago, so I suspect I was already influenced back then.”

Yu Mo, who had been silent, secretly looked up at Jiang Si.

As expected of the sect leader, he can lie without batting an eye. Truly impressive.

As one of the earliest direct disciples of the Qingyun Sect, she naturally knew that Jiang Si's physical abilities had nothing to do with his sister's magic; they were the result of his daily hard work...

She admired the sect leader for not showing off and for not caring that his efforts would be erased by so-called magic.

She can lie with unusual seriousness, showing no sign of guilt whatsoever. Yu Mo's lies are always easily seen through...

Hyacinth naturally couldn't tell that Jiang Si was lying. In fact, it would be very difficult for her to discern Jiang Si's emotions. In a world without color, expressions would lose many details.

“In that case, it’s not surprising.” Hyacinth crossed her legs, placed her hands on her knees, and looked at Jiang Si leisurely. “Living together for a long time will of course have an effect, but there is generally a limit to the improvement in physical fitness. Generally speaking, there will be no danger or strong side effects, so there is no need to worry.”

What are the common side effects?

“It’s likely that being too physically strong will shorten your lifespan,” Hyacinth reassured her. “But as long as you don’t participate in long-term competitive sports, it will only be a year or two less.”

That's easy for you to say.

However, Jiang Si already knew about this; a doctor had told him about it when he was working hard to improve his physical condition in his previous life.

Every seemingly higher limit comes at the cost of lifespan. Moderate exercise is good for health, but extreme exercise is detrimental to one's body.

However, for Jiang Si, if she cannot embark on the path of the Great Dao, living a few more years would be meaningless.

The true seeker of the Way is one who strives to make every effort to prepare, and when opportunity knocks, seizes it firmly, without letting it slip away in the slightest.

"Oh, I see. Then I'm relieved."

After briefly ending the topic, Jiang Si continued, "Are you aware that the Disaster Management Bureau has lost three Miracle Seeds?"

His pale pupils turned slightly away. "I've heard about it."

"There's a traitor within the Disaster Management Bureau. Will that threaten Coco?"

"Don't worry, the Magical Girl Operations Unit is an independent department and won't affect your sister."

"No one can guarantee that there are no traitors in Magical Girls. I saw someone online saying that Hyacinth had contact with the Witches' Guild a long time ago, and many people suspect that you have an affair with the Witches' Guild."

The girl immediately covered her mouth with an elegant smile and said, "I see. You came to see me because you were worried about this, afraid that I would harm your sister, is that right?"

"I wouldn't dare. You are a magical girl, and the strongest magical girl captain in the North Sea back then. If Hyacinth wants to make a move, coming here would be like walking into a trap. I just hope you can look after my sister for me."

"Your brother is quite attentive."

When Yu Mo, who was holding a rabbit, heard what Hyacinth said, her expression immediately turned strange, but no one could tell because she had her head down.

She cautiously glanced up and saw that Hyacinth seemed to have suddenly fallen into deep thought. Yu Mo, who was peeking at her, quickly noticed her gaze and looked back.

The empty, black pupils made Yu Mo immediately pull down her hood again to block her vision.

Like a frightened little rabbit.

Hyacinth smiled and said, "With Silver Lotus around, don't worry. Although Silver Lotus is a bit young, she has great potential. It's only a matter of time before she enters the Blooming Realm. She's very capable."

"I would rather trust you, who are more experienced, than her."

"If Yinlian hears this, she'll definitely cry in bed tonight. Although she always pretends to be very mature, she's actually very fragile inside," Hyacinth said nostalgically. "You mustn't say that in front of her."
