Starting as a Magical Girl, I Alone Shall Rule for Eternity

In the pitch-black secret base of the Azure Cloud Sect in the suburbs.

There was no light at all, only the tender green four-leaf clover in the mirror was particularly conspicuous, constantly rotating within the mirror.

An ethereal voice spread out: "The aura of the Witch Association is still as nauseating as ever..."

From another side, a youthful and lively voice came, "Four-leaf Clover Sister, I've observed people from the Disaster Control Bureau."

"Activate the Illusory Moon Formation to interfere with their observation."

"Sister, which Illusory Moon Formation?"

"Idiot, didn't Sect Master previously name Barrier Leaf, the fifth one, as the Illusory Moon Formation!"

"No, Sister, Sect Master clearly said it was the Qiankun Eight Trigrams Illusory Moon Formation."

"Isn't it the same?"

"Sect Master said the prefix makes a big difference, the Qiankun Eight Trigrams Illusory Moon Formation is actually..."

"Alright, alright, I get it Six Leaf, quickly deploy the Qiankun Illusory Moon Formation."

"It's Qiankun Eight Trigrams..."

"Six Leaf!" The ethereal voice carried a bit more embarrassment and annoyance.

"Sect Master clearly said..." The lively voice sounded somewhat aggrieved, and then countless leaf veins began to cover the mirror, obscuring the four-leaf clover as well, "The third, the second, the first, mediocre work, the illusion of one leaf obscuring the sight."

"The fifth, masterpiece, flowers in a mirror and the moon's reflection in water."

"Having to deploy from the front every time is too slow..." The ethereal voice softly complained before immediately gathering the four-leaf clover in the mirror, "They're here, it's the Disaster Control Bureau people."

Countless eyes opened from within the mirror, yet every time a pair of eyes opened, leaves would cover them.

The eyes kept increasing, and after the leaves covered them, the leaves on the mirror became fewer and fewer, until the entire mirror became clean, revealing a single tightly closed eye.

Then it suddenly opened its eyes! Trying to take in everything here!

"Truly worthy of being the Disaster Control Bureau's magical aunties, really impressive, able to break through to this extent."

"Six Leaf, don't be so rude, call them magical aunts."

"Oh, the magical aunt's eyes are really useful, but what a pity, Six Leaf's flowers in a mirror and the moon's reflection in water is more perfect."

Then, a leaf gently floated down from the air into the pupil within the mirror, the pupil rippled like water surface, and leaf veins appeared in circles.

As if hypnotized.

Subsequently, that wide-open eye slowly closed, then completely disappeared from the mirror.

The four-leaf clover reappeared on the mirror, "Finally we can investigate the Witch Association, they're really such a hindrance, the Disaster Control Bureau..."

"Only know how to hold us back."

The ethereal voice drifted faintly: "Turn it over, the four-leaf clover's fate card."

The rotating four-leaf clover revealed in the mirror the cripple who had accepted the Grief Seed, and even as the four-leaf clover rotated counterclockwise, it revealed a woman wearing black robes, concealing her figure.

Capturing the moment when the other party took out the Grief Seed and handed it to the cripple.

"Deduction, first divination, name."

The first leaf turned over, "Dujuan."

"Deduction, second divination, identity."

The second leaf turned over, "Magical Girl."

"Deduction, third divination, location."

The third leaf...

The moment it turned over, it suddenly burst into flames!

The remaining leaves withered together, the ethereal voice letting out a short cry of pain.

"Sister, sister, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, the Witch Association discovered us, that Aunt Dujuan should be a core member of the Witch Association, why would they find Sect Master?"

"The barrier leaves on Sect Master and Lady Bingtang haven't disappeared yet, it should just be a coincidence."

"No, it might be Sect Master's sister, they've targeted Keke."

"Then we must quickly notify Lady Bingtang!"

...

Disaster Control Bureau, Divination Room.

The green magical girl who had been sitting properly with glasses in front of the case board suddenly bumped her head against the case board.

Yin Luo, who was correcting documents nearby, was immediately startled, quickly put down her pen, and went over to shake the green magical girl, "Peony, Peony? How come you fell asleep again?"

It took a long time for her to struggle up from the table, the green magical girl fumbled around for a while before finding her glasses, put them on with difficulty, then sucked in cold air while rubbing her forehead, "Those two damn little girls! Sooner or later I'll catch them!"

Yin Luo breathed a sigh of relief and returned to her seat, "You seem to have never won against them even once?"

"Two against one was never fair to begin with, I'm the only one in BH City Disaster Control Bureau with this kind of detection ability, of course it's tough! If we could borrow a reconnaissance-type magical girl from next door to cooperate, I would definitely capture them!"

After withdrawing from her transformed state, the green magical girl revealed a somewhat youthful and pretty appearance, actually not that old, only in her twenties, but wearing glasses plus keeping a stern face made her resemble a mature homeroom teacher.

Peony's job was indeed as a teacher.

"They actually dared to call me aunt, and even called me an old lady!" Peony gritted her teeth and slapped the table, "When I catch them, I'll definitely spank their bottoms hard! Students won't learn properly without being hit!"

Yin Luo smiled somewhat helplessly, "Alright then, so how are you going to explain to Silver Lotus? The task she gave you was to find Witch Association members, but you ended up confronting the Azure Cloud Sect again."

"There's nothing I can do about it."

Peony hung her head dejectedly, "I searched around but didn't see any Witch Association people, but those two girls are too conspicuous, I thought if I captured them I might be able to follow the clues to find the Witch Association."

"I think you just want to settle a personal grudge." Yin Luo was somewhat speechless, "Silver Lotus will definitely be angry, she won't go easy on you in this aspect."

Hearing this, Peony's face as a teacher immediately looked even more miserable.

Although at school, Silver Lotus was a student and Peony was a teacher, Silver Lotus still respected teachers very much, even if they weren't from the same school that taught her.

But at the Disaster Control Bureau, Silver Lotus was the captain of the Magical Girl Combat Team, with absolute authority over rewards and punishments for members.

If tasks aren't properly completed, having her salary deducted, or even writing self-criticisms, she couldn't escape any of it.

When Silver Lotus gets serious, even their seniors were quite afraid of her.

"Please, Yin Luo, put in a good word for me, she's your sister, she'll always listen to you..."

"Don't come to me, when she gets angry, she doesn't treat me as her sister."

"How can this be..."

Yin Luo paused, "So, did you find any clues?"

Peony also composed her expression, "No good, the Witch Association is as always, strictly guarding against this aspect, really hard to find. Those two girls from Azure Cloud Sect have special abilities, they might be able to find some traces, but they'll probably get hurt too, I hope they don't push themselves too hard, the Witch Association's methods are too insidious."

"Rather than worrying about the Azure Cloud Sect, you might as well worry about the Witch Association."

Yin Luo immediately laughed, "Do you know how many Witch Association members the Azure Cloud Sect has eliminated over the years? So far, only one member from Azure Cloud Sect has fallen and joined the Witch Association, the casualty ratios between the two sides aren't on the same level, nothing to worry about."

"I am a teacher." Peony snorted, "No matter how many Witch Association members die, it's not a pity, but those two girls from Azure Cloud Sect have great potential and aren't bad at heart. Over all these years, at worst they just make me doze off, they never go for the kill. I definitely can't bear to see anything happen to them."

"Don't hold too many illusions about the Azure Cloud Sect." Yin Luo said solemnly, "What their Sect Master Shion has done, you know better than I do."

Peony's expression also became somewhat unpleasant, then she shook her head, "I know, don't worry, I'm just worried about those two brats. I'm not familiar with other Azure Cloud Sect members and they have nothing to do with me. Whoever wants to catch them can catch them, it's none of my business. But only those two girls, I have to deal with them personally, spank their bottoms hard to vent my hatred!"

Yin Luo didn't respond to her words, just looked at the documents in her hand lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.

...

Opening her eyes in the darkness, Dujuan touched the scar on her face.

She let out a surprised "Eh" sound.

"Actually failed?"

Muttering to herself, somewhat incredulous.

The cripple had received considerable power from the Grief Seed, even if it was just a semi-finished product, it was definitely not something ordinary people could deal with.

That was power approaching that of a Sprout-tier magical girl.

Tentatively opening the crystal ball, wanting to trace back and investigate what had happened.

But clearly something was interfering with her backtracking, leaf veins covered the crystal ball, completely obscuring what happened back then, only vaguely able to see the cripple being knocked to the ground.

Did Jiang Si have interference magic similar to the Disaster Control Bureau's magical girls?

Perhaps it was a safety measure the Disaster Control Bureau specifically prepared for new magical girls. After all, the Witch Association had frequently targeted new magical girls' families before, so having preventive measures was normal.

While deep in thought, the crystal ball in her hand suddenly lit up, the previously covering leaf veins disappeared, revealing the captain's face, "What are you doing! Dujuan, the Azure Cloud Sect people have already found out your name! If I hadn't intervened in time, your location would have been exposed! Do you want to die!"

Dujuan was also scolded into a daze, then frowned, "How is that possible? I didn't even notice."

"By the time you notice, it would be too late! The Disaster Control Bureau and Azure Cloud Sect would have swept through your area twice! The Disaster Control Bureau's Peony is relatively easier to deal with, her detection ability is limited, but the people from Azure Cloud Sect, if you're slightly careless, they'll see everything! How many times have I reminded you! Be careful! Be careful! This is Azure Cloud Sect's territory!"

Dujuan was scolded until her face turned red and her neck thick, wanting to refute but couldn't find any reasons.

After all, if the captain hadn't intervened, she might have really been done for.

She had been completely immersed in the battle between the cripple and Jiang Si, not realizing at all that the Disaster Control Bureau and Azure Cloud Sect were already investigating her.

"Did you capture Jiang Si?"

When the captain asked again, Dujuan was also somewhat embarrassed: "Almost, I previously sent a semi-finished product to capture him, didn't expect it to actually fail, probably because the semi-finished product's condition was unstable causing it to collapse on its own."

She said confidently, "That semi-finished product was indeed my miscalculation, I forgot to conceal it. I originally thought it would quickly capture Jiang Si, but this time it won't happen. I'll personally take action, will carefully conceal my aura, not be detected by them, and capture Jiang Si at the fastest speed! Absolutely no mistakes!"

The captain's expression slightly eased, "I used to be most reassured with your work, but this time you were really too careless. Be more careful."

"Understood, Captain."

Then Dujuan added: "However, I previously tried to trace the battle process between Jiang Si and my semi-finished disaster beast, but was interfered with. Perhaps the Disaster Control Bureau preemptively placed magic on him to prevent us from taking action."

Dujuan analyzed the information she obtained and gave her judgment, "It seems the Disaster Control Bureau is paying considerable attention to the new magical girl this time, not only conducting investigations immediately but also making safety preparations for Jiang Si in advance. If we capture Jiang Si and threaten that new magical girl, even pull her into the Witch Association, the Disaster Control Bureau would probably be very upset, hehehe."

"Good." The captain said satisfied, "Recently Jiazhuyao hasn't been progressing smoothly over there, our disaster beast will still take some time to be born. Right now the Disaster Control Bureau's attention is entirely on the Miracle Seed, she can't act easily. If your plan succeeds, the Disaster Control Bureau's attention will shift, making Jiazhuyao's actions more convenient."

"Hmph, I don't think Jiazhuyao is very reliable. Is it that she can't produce it, or doesn't want to?" The woman said with a sinister expression, "If she can't bring out the Miracle Seed this time, I propose we eliminate her."

"Ever since being pursued by the Azure Cloud Sect, finding new people has become increasingly difficult. Jiazhuyao's motivation is quite credible, I don't think we need to doubt it."

The captain also said solemnly, "Moreover, task execution is becoming more and more difficult now, each time we have to face attacks from both the Disaster Control Bureau and Azure Cloud Sect, especially the Azure Cloud Sect. Even you almost capsized. We're already short-handed, better to have less internal strife, Dujuan."

"As you wish, just don't get furious and take it out on me when Jiazhuyao deceives you later. But the Azure Cloud Sect reacted so quickly to divine my name, they might also be paying attention to Jiang Si."

The captain was startled, seemingly somewhat unexpected, "Really? Why would Azure Cloud Sect pay attention to him? Azure Cloud Sect only cares about magical girls, he's a man, right?"

Dujuan sneered coldly: "This is the first time a new magical girl has been taken away by the Disaster Control Bureau. With Azure Cloud Sect's petty-mindedness, they definitely want to recover face. They might also be thinking of kidnapping Jiang Si, then forcing that new magical girl to join Azure Cloud Sect."

The captain's expression showed sudden understanding as she nodded, "Very possible, no wonder they found you so quickly. The Azure Cloud Sect really isn't any good either, using the same methods as us, yet dare to righteously criticize our Witch Association, truly despicable."

"Anyway, we need to strike before them. That new magical girl Jiang Keke only has this one brother left in her family, the two have depended on each other for so many years, she definitely values him highly. As long as we capture Jiang Si, she'll walk right into the trap herself, hehehe..."

After the captain left and the crystal dimmed, Dujuan walked out from the wall again; it was already late at night.

Thinking about it, she still turned around and took out a seed from the wall.

A pitch-black, already rotten seed.

Although she hadn't used it for a long time, and didn't think she needed it.

But, just in case, it's never wrong.
