Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Shi Lei was certain that Yu Huan had not received the admission notice, but she did not know why he could not only enter and leave the academy freely but also live with her. He seemed to have not discovered the academy and had no intention of asking about it.

After simply tidying up the house, Shi Lei was about to attend the opening ceremony. Although she didn't know why Yu Huan was able to move freely in the academy, it was obvious that she couldn't take Yu Huan to this kind of opening ceremony. Therefore, after giving him a few instructions, Shi Lei went to attend the opening ceremony.

After Shi Lei left, Yu Huan had nothing else to do. After trying to contact Yu but failing, Yu Huan looked around the room out of boredom, and then lay down on the soft big bed.

"So boring~~"

The small house has only two floors, and it seems a bit small to be called a villa. The first floor contains all the living rooms, while the second floor is a small meditation room and an environment similar to a study.

There was naturally nothing worth seeing in such a room for Yu Huan. In addition, the things in the system space had been basically distributed. She was bored and could only open the system defense to look for it. Finally, she moved her hand and a book appeared in her hand.

"This is……"

It seemed to be the book that had been confiscated from Shi Lei before. Yu Huan took a look at the terrible cover and originally planned to put it directly back into the system space, but for some reason, he opened it and read a page the next second, and then... he couldn't stop reading.

Just like that, when Lei came back and was about to call Yuhuan out for dinner, she just walked to the door of the room and heard the voice of Yuhuan lying on the bed reading a book. After a moment of silence, the little girl just left silently!

Xiao Huan is studying seriously, so you'd better... not disturb him!

Well, that’s right!

22. What a terrible interest!

How should I put it? Shi Lei's books can be classified very simply: yuri, offense and defense, imprisonment, and very traditional domineering CEO stories... These are probably the types, and most of them are yuri novels with imprisonment and love as the main theme.

Don't ask why Yu Huan knew so much. The fact that her face was flushed while she was eating and she didn't even dare to look at Shi Lei was enough to prove something.

At this time, Lei prepared a sumptuous lunch for Yuhuan as usual, which she brought back from the academy cafeteria. She also asked Yuhuan if he needed anything. After becoming a magician, she learned that there was a magician assessment system in the academy. Magicians above the apprentice level not only do not need to pay tuition, but can even receive allowances. If they become formal magicians, they may be recommended to a higher magic academy for further magic training after graduation.

This obviously gave Shi Lei a lot of motivation, so that Shi Lei's passion for learning was completely ignited. Yu Huan naturally would not stop her, and could only encourage her and then said nothing more.

The Demon Realm is different from Tianta City. There are not so many fun things here. On the contrary, because magicians need to meditate, life here is obviously much more monotonous than Tianta City. Even the former Demon King City is better than here. After all, you can still be pushed by Yu when you have nothing to do there. Ahem~~ I'm getting off topic. In short, out of boredom, Shi Lei's enthusiasm for learning was aroused again, and she went to meditate after dinner.

With nothing to do, the only way for Yu Huan to pass the time is... those terrible books in the system space.

"I'm just trying to kill time, not because I'm really interested in that! Besides, you have to see things through to the end. I've already seen it, so of course I have to finish it!"

After giving himself a perfect excuse, Yu Huan immediately took out a book from the space again. After a while, he started reading with a flushed face and relish.

She had not confiscated many books from Shi Lei before, but perhaps because of Shi Lei's interest, she 'accidentally' discovered a lot of her collections from Shi Lei one after another. She immediately confiscated them all on the pretext that they were not suitable for 'good children' to read. When she confiscated one or two books at a time, Ye Chen didn't notice anything, but now she realized that the number... had actually filled up a small bookshelf!

"What a terrible hobby this is!"

Although she said these words verbally, in fact Yu Huan had already been addicted to it and couldn't extricate herself. She didn't even know if it was an illusion. Shi Lei always felt that there was something different in Ye Chen's gaze when he looked at her.

Of course, the cute and naive Shi Lei wouldn't pay too much attention to these things, so she continued to live her life carefree.

The school days were very peaceful and dull. Shi Lei was still a freshman after all, and her daily routine was basically going to school in the morning, eating after coming back, and then meditating in the afternoon. This would be the mainstream course in the first semester, at least until they officially became one-star apprentices and mastered more than ten basic magics.

Shi Lei is very talented in this regard. In less than a month, she has successfully mastered no less than ten kinds of magic. Although it cannot be said that her talent is amazing, she is undoubtedly a genius, which makes many people look at her with admiration.

As a result, Shi Lei was successfully transferred from the freshman class to the magic class in just one month. After testing her magic attributes, Yu Huan was shocked to find that Shi Lei's attribute was... darkness?!

That’s right, a dark magician. This is the second-class class that Shi Lei was assigned to, and it also explains her magical attributes, which is obviously something Yu Huan never expected.

The dark element is one of the basic elements in magic, but it is different from the four elements of earth, fire, wind and water. Together with light magic, it can be regarded as a magical attribute that is one level higher than them.

And dark magic naturally has many branches, such as curse magic, necromancy magic, dark spell magic, etc., and Shi Lei's magic attribute is pure darkness, which means that she can freely choose the path she wants to develop from the above magic. This is also the most basic condition for first-year students to be promoted to second grade: decide their own magical path.

Lei did not make a decision in a hurry at this time, but continued to remain silent. However, compared with the previous boring training, her life had obviously changed after entering the second stage of magic learning. At the same time, Yu Huan, who had already finished reading all the books on hand, no longer needed to be idle, because... her work had also come!

The second stage of magic courses is actually the beginning of the real courses for first-year students. The previous ones are just enlightenment education similar to preschool.

After all, the people who sign up for school are of varying quality. Some are villagers from remote villages like Shi Lei, and so on. Naturally, they don't have as good luck as Shi Lei to meet Yu Huan, so apart from possessing magic power, they know nothing about magic.

Some of them came from major magic families or wealthy families. Naturally, these people were trained early after their magical talents were discovered. Therefore, after entering school, they were naturally much more adept than those ordinary people.

This is also the fundamental reason why the nobles have great power in the Demon Realm, because the nobles... are mostly magicians, and their starting point is different from that of ordinary people!

Although the magic academy is open to all, it still requires some small methods to balance the two aspects of students. The first stage of learning exists for this purpose, aiming to lay a foundation of magic for all students.

After the foundation of magic was laid, the second stage of the course began: except for the theoretical classes in the morning, the students were no longer allowed to go back to meditate or study magic on their own in the afternoon, but also had a course: practical training!

There will be special magic instructors who will be responsible for teaching them about the combat applications of magic or how to fight against it. Of course, students will also learn from each other and make progress together. There will not be any obvious rules in this regard. To put it bluntly, as long as you are not idle in the training ground in the afternoon, it will be fine!

23. Do we…know each other?

One month later, after Shi Lei completed the first phase of her course, she and all her classmates entered the first day of the second phase of the course. Because of her slightly cute and gentle personality and extraordinary talent, Shi Lei has a good relationship with others in the class. In addition, because of her good looks, she has vaguely shown the tendency to become the class beauty.

Just after lunch, someone came to find her to go to the training ground together. For some reason, Shi Lei usually would not let anyone into her dormitory. She didn't know whether she was afraid that Yu Huan who was "hiding" in it would be seen by others or what. But it didn't matter today, because after finishing her meal, Yu Huan left directly with the excuse of "I have something to go out for a walk" and a mysterious smile, so Shi Lei had nothing to worry about.

"Xiaolei, are you ready? Let's go to the training ground together!"

The inner garment she wore was adapted from the sailor suit that Yu Huan had known before, with a slightly longer blue-purple skirt. The outer garment was a large magic robe that looked like a cloak and a robe, and on the top of her head was a large traditional wizard's hat. This was the 'school uniform' of the magic academy. The color would change according to different attributes, but the basic style was basically the same, except that girls wore skirts and boys wore pants.

When there was a knock on the door outside the dormitory, Shi Lei immediately opened the door and saw three figures of similar age wearing school uniforms of different colors waiting there. When they saw Shi Lei opening the door, they greeted her with a smile, but kept glancing at one of them.

Although Shi Lei has been hiding it, her simple personality obviously makes her not suitable for doing such things. Moreover, Yu Huan and she entered school together because they were all freshmen, and naturally someone saw them during the assessment. Therefore, almost everyone knew that there was a very cute little sister living in Shi Lei's dormitory.

Although Shi Lei was not very good at keeping secrets, she was completely impenetrable in terms of defense. In addition, due to the busy academic schedule in the first month, no one had actually seen Yu Huan's true face even after a month. Gradually, the village was regarded as a "legend".

Even the three friends of Shi Lei were filled with strong curiosity. After glancing at the obviously empty room behind Shi Lei, one of the girls in a white robe asked directly:

"Hey? Xiaolei, where's your little princess? It's been a month, isn't it time for us to meet her?"

Little Princess was everyone's nickname for Yu Huan. After all, it was rumored that she was a delicate and lovely little girl like a princess. The three of them had been curious about her for over a month. However, Lei was unwilling to give in and casually spread her hands, closing the door and walking out.

"Xiao Huan is out today and not at home!"

She spoke honestly, but in return she received the contempt of the three girls without a second thought:

"I don't believe it. Every time I want to see you, you always make excuses like you're not here or something!"

"Uh... this time it's real!"

"So that means everything before was fake?"

"...The arena is over there, right? Let's go! Don't be late on the first day!"

"Ah~~Xiaolei, you've learned bad habits. You can even change the subject!"

"That's right, he was such a pure and innocent child when we first met... who led him astray?"

"It seems... it's us!"

"..."

"..."

“…Yes, it’s you!”

They walked towards the arena, talking and laughing. Although they were curious about Yu Huan and the other two girls, they had no intention of forcing Shi Lei. They just joked around casually. It was obvious that Shi Lei had gotten to know them better over the past month, so she wasn't polite in such casual conversations. But there was one thing...she was unwilling to say anything when it came to her own Xiao Huan.

When asked why, she just smiled and said nothing. Although she knew that Yu Huan's identity could not be concealed at all, and since he lived with her, it was only a matter of time before he was seen by others, but for some reason... Shi Lei just didn't want her little Huan to be seen by others. After all...

"Xiao Huan is so cute, what if you guys try to snatch her from me?"

With this thought in mind, Shi Lei decided even more determinedly to protect the cute Xiao Huan. However, she never expected that just when she had made up her mind, an accident happened on the other side so unexpectedly!

In the training ground.

A total of more than 300 freshmen were divided into four different areas for training. In addition to the instructors in charge of their respective classes, each class was also very generously equipped with a four-star magician to be responsible for teaching. The teaching in each area was different, which depended entirely on the personal ideas and teaching methods of the instructors.

Shi Lei and her friends came to the training ground. After arriving at the designated class area, they immediately heard the bustling discussions around them.

Some were curious about whether their training instructor would be a man or a woman, whether he was pretty or handsome, etc. Some were discussing how the instructor would teach magic, whether it would be a battle or something else. Some seemed to have no interest in it and just chatted about some interesting topics.

Shi Lei and the others were no exception. The three friends had already joined in the discussion about whether the instructor was handsome or not, as if they had already determined that the instructor would be a man. Shi Lei was not interested in this, so she listened obediently and did not express her own opinion. Because she looked cute like this most of the time, people around her were not used to it.

"Ok?"

Just when Shi Lei was in a daze, she suddenly felt as if another pair of eyes were looking at her. She immediately turned her gaze slightly along this line of sight and found that in another class area not far away, a beautiful girl with blonde hair and wearing a fiery red magic robe, which was obviously much more gorgeous than her own and had many golden lines on it, was looking at her with interest.

To be precise, it was fixed directly on her.

"Do we... know each other?"

Blinking in some confusion, Shi Lei felt that she probably didn't know the other person, so facing the other person's seemingly fiery eyes, Shi Lei immediately blinked... and then decisively ignored it.

I wonder what Xiao Huan is up to? Is she bored because she finished reading? So, why not get her some more books? But what kind of books would be best this time? It seems like Xiao Huan prefers aggressive stories, so why not give that a try?

With these thoughts in mind, Shi Lei quickly fell into deep thought, unable to extricate herself. At the same time, her originally cute eyes inexplicably had a hint of... a faint light.

24. Fighting is the most convenient

"Hey, hello everyone, I'm your practical training course instructor. You can call me Teacher Yuhuan or Teacher Xiaoyu!"

She casually waved her hand as a greeting, ignoring the incredulous looks, and walked casually in front of the neatly lined people with her hands in the pockets of her skirt. Especially when facing the almost stunned Shi Lei, she winked at her mischievously, as if answering her with her eyes: This is why I can enter and leave the academy freely!

This could be considered as a condition that Yu Huan had previously reached with the three instructors who seemed to be in high positions of power in the academy. Because of Shi Lei, she did not intend to leave. Obviously, because they could feel Yu Huan's powerful relationship, the three instructors did not want to be his enemy or forcibly expel him. Therefore, after the final compromise, they gave Yu Huan a legitimate opportunity to stay in the academy: instructor!

It was a mutually beneficial transaction, and although Yu Huan didn't know how to teach, it was obviously very simple to just practice with him, so he agreed without much thought.

"Huh? Practical skills instructor? Really?"

"What a cute little sister, can I hug you?"

"Where's the fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs you promised me? I admit she has fair skin and beautiful face, but long legs..."

"No, he's clearly a handsome guy, but this kid is really cute. I feel like I'm a little gay..."

"You're a man, why are you bending? It's obviously straight!"

"Yuhuan...what a nice name!"

"Tsk, this little kid is something I can lift with one hand, and you think she can be my mentor?"

"What a joke! This guy clearly doesn't even have any magic power!"

By the way, after receiving guidance from three mentors, Yu Huan, who was operating in the Demon Realm, finally learned to restrain her magic power that she never concealed. After all, she didn't like it to be too ostentatious.

Even after listening to the discussions around her, the smile on Yu Huan's face did not change at all. She still looked well-behaved and lovely, like a young lady with strict family rules. However, it was this look that made the noise of the students around her even louder. Even the students in other areas not far away had obviously noticed the situation here.

Obviously, no one present would be optimistic about a little girl with no magical fluctuations in her body and who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old being a practical skills instructor, except for two people!

One is Shi Lei. When she first heard that Yu Huan was her mentor, she was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes showed excitement... In Shi Lei's heart, although Yu Huan had never shown her strength, since she was a magical girl, she must be very, very powerful... She didn't need a reason, she just had this kind of absolute confidence in her own little Huan!

The other one was the instructor in charge of the class standing behind Yu Huan, who could also be called the head teacher. However, at this moment, the instructor who was supposed to deal with the students' questions was standing behind Yu Huan without saying a word. For some reason, his eyes looking at this group of noisy students were full of... sympathy.

Naive kids, it seems that what you need to learn for your first lesson in actual combat has been fixed!

That is... you can't judge a loli by her appearance, and violence is not about size!

"That's it..."

It was several minutes later that Yu Huan spoke again. As the various noises in front of him became louder and louder, and some male classmates even openly provoked or teased Yu Huan, even Shi Lei on the side frowned slightly. Yu Huan lowered his eyes, looking as if he was frustrated because he was not recognized. His long pink hair slightly covered his forehead.

A calm tone slowly came out of his mouth. It was not loud among the noisy sounds, but it was clearly heard by everyone at this moment, and gradually the surrounding sounds quieted down bit by bit.

"Then... let's do this!"

Raising her head, the little girl blinked her big, cute eyes at the students in front of her. They were all young men and women. In that instant, she charmed countless people. Then she spoke in innocent and cute words:

"One-on-one or group fight, you can choose. Come and challenge me. Whoever beats me... I will follow him!"

The smiling words contained a hint of seriousness. Although that face did not look serious at all, one could still sense the weight of the words. The crowd, which had been a bit noisy, instantly fell silent. All the eyes that looked at Yu Huan were filled with...strangeness at this moment.

This girl... is she planning to offer herself voluntarily?

That’s probably the idea!

"I come!"

Then, before the students could react to the news, a sudden crisp sound attracted everyone's attention. The first person to stand out is always the most eye-catching one. When everyone looked at the source of the sound, many students showed surprised or confused expressions.

I've mentioned before that because the students entering the school are of varying abilities, there will be a one-month literacy course before the practical classes begin. These are considered enlightenment courses for ordinary people, but are obviously unnecessary for those who have already learned magic in their families. Therefore, quite a few students have actually skipped classes over the past month.

And precisely because of this, these young masters and ladies were naturally unfamiliar with the students in the class. Especially as they held a superior attitude, they were naturally unwilling to make friends with commoners. Therefore, many of them showed unfamiliar expressions to the person who suddenly spoke.

On the contrary, the civilian students looked at the person who spoke in surprise... They never expected that she would be the first to jump out.

Well, this person is Shi Lei, a classmate who has been studying low-key every day for a month, gentle and lovely, humbly asking for advice, and topped the class. She is kind and beautiful. She is such a lovely person who seems to be indifferent to the world, but she would be the first to jump out at this time, which obviously earned everyone's expressions of surprise.

However, Lei seemed to have seen nothing at this moment. She just looked towards Yu Huan with a faint gaze, and there seemed to be a hint of resentment in her eyes.

You clearly agreed to be mine, but you actually wanted to go with someone else... That's probably what you were thinking!

"..."

Seeing this clearly in the other party's clear big eyes, Yu Huan was speechless immediately... Do you think I will lose?
