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

"If you want to improve your strength, the best daily training method is controlling the form of your magical energy."

Hyacinth sat elegantly on the stone bench as Qiyun Academy appeared tranquil under the setting sun.

She still wore that pitch-black sailor uniform, which stood out conspicuously in the courtyard surrounded by lush green vegetation.

Her headphones hung around her neck, and she held a thick book, though its contents weren't related to college entrance exams.

Instead, it contained research materials on Magical Girls' magical energy.

"I see, how did Senior Hyacinth train before?"

Sitting opposite her, Li Yi and Jiang Keke were as obedient as elementary school students. Li Yi was the one asking, "I heard from other members of the Magical Combat Team that they never had specialized training before."

"Indeed, when it comes to dealing with Disaster Beasts, a Magical Girl's power doesn't require too many changes in magical energy form."

Hyacinth's tone was gentle, "As long as you release enough destructive power, you can kill Disaster Beasts. As for magical energy quantity, Magical Girls have no way to train it. So far, no stable method to increase it has been found—it can only surge from the intense emotions Magical Girls experience when facing difficult situations."

Jiang Keke raised her hand and asked, "Then, Senior, I heard the Disaster Control Bureau has Blooming-tier Miracle Seeds. When encountering Disaster Beasts they can't handle, they can use Blooming-tier Miracle Seeds to transform into Blooming Magical Girls. Does that mean predecessors' magical energy can actually be passed down?"

"Excellent question."

Hyacinth closed her book, her vacant gaze falling on Keke's face, "Keke is much smarter than Yiyi. You'll need to take good care of her from now on."

"I actually thought of that too, Senior Hyacinth!" Li Yi immediately argued, "I just said it slower!"

With a gentle smile, the black Magical Girl nodded, "Yiyi just thinks slowly, she's not stupid."

"My thinking isn't that slow either..." Li Yi muttered quietly, ultimately not continuing to argue.

Hyacinth then continued leisurely, "Using magical energy transfer to increase a Magical Girl's power—that's certainly been attempted. Keke, come here, take out your seed."

Jiang Keke moved closer and took out her red seed.

Since her outburst yesterday, the red color of her Miracle Seed had become increasingly intense, and Keke could feel the power within it growing.

When Hyacinth saw her seed, she slightly started, examining Keke, "You haven't been a Magical Girl for long, have you?"

"Only about two or three days."

"Two or three days?" Hyacinth murmured, then took her Miracle Seed.

"Already showing signs of Seedling tier after just two or three days... the younger generation is formidable..."

As she said this, Hyacinth originally only intended to check the amount of magical energy inside. But when she gently stimulated it with her own magical energy, the surging power within the red seed made her abruptly withdraw her hand as if burned.

Jiang Keke beside her hurriedly caught the Miracle Seed that was nearly dropped, looking somewhat bewildered at this black-clad senior.

"Sorry."

Hyacinth's two pale fingers were slightly reddened. She brought them to her mouth and blew on them, "Your flames remind me of some unpleasant memories."

"It's fine, it's fine..."

Looking at the flustered Jiang Keke, she couldn't help but sigh.

She put her fingers in her mouth to cool them.

That purple Magical Girl's aura...

She was all too familiar with that Magical Girl's flames—scorching, stinging, viscous.

Exactly the same.

Even the resentment and frustration from her defeat back then came flooding back.

"Senior Hyacinth? Senior?"

Li Yi called out twice from beside her before Hyacinth came back to her senses and smiled, "It's nothing, I just spaced out for a moment. Keke's flames are quite special, somewhat familiar, reminding me of an old acquaintance."

Li Yi immediately exchanged a glance with Keke.

Actually, both of them knew about this matter.

Keke's flames were quite similar to Shion's—not in terms of color or shape, but in the nature of the magical energy contained within. Anyone sensitive to magical energy properties could easily notice.

Keke hadn't hidden from Li Yi that she transformed under Teacher Shion's guidance, and before Shion, her Miracle Seed had no magical energy. So she suspected Teacher Shion helped inject magical energy to enable her transformation.

Thus, their flames were actually very similar.

Now that Hyacinth had sensed this, both Li Yi and Keke felt somewhat guilty.

After all, it was public knowledge within the Disaster Control Bureau that Hyacinth was forced into retirement by Shion.

If Hyacinth learned about Keke's relationship with Shion, it probably wouldn't be good.

Fortunately, Hyacinth didn't pursue the matter, just took a breath and regained her previous composure, "Yiyi, channel your magical energy into her seed."

"Yes."

Li Yi immediately complied.

So Keke felt that when her magical energy came into contact with Li Yi's, it was like oil being ignited.

It boiled over!

Intense rejection and tearing sensations continuously spread from the seed, even causing Keke herself to feel some pain.

Fortunately, Li Yi hadn't injected much magical energy—just a small amount. After Li Yi's magical energy dissipated, Keke's seed gradually returned to normal.

"This is the consequence of magical energy fusion."

After patiently explaining, Hyacinth continued, "Magical Girls' magical energy is accumulated emotion from their hearts. No one's emotions can interconnect, and the same goes for magical energy. So it's impossible to pass magical energy to the next generation."

"Magical Girls with Miracle Seeds also can't use others' Miracle Seeds." Hyacinth put away her headphones and book, standing up, "The Disaster Control Bureau's Blooming seeds can only be used by children who haven't obtained Miracle Seeds but have the potential to become Magical Girls. Unfortunately, the Bureau hasn't found such a child yet."

Because they've all been taken by the Azure Cloud Sect.

Keke and Li Yi followed behind Hyacinth.

The three walked out of Qiyun Academy and entered the unmanned small woods behind it.

Hyacinth took out a black seed, her eyes showing a trace of regret, then transformed.

Black magical energy covered her entire body, faintly carrying a somewhat ominous aura.

But it wasn't like the Witch Association's contaminated magical energy.

"It's hard to understand just through explanation."

Hyacinth waved her Magic Wand, and magical energy transformed into a black cat that rubbed against her exposed pale leg, then looked at Li Yi and Keke, "The time I progressed fastest in magical energy control was when I fought that purple Magical Girl. So I'll teach you through actual combat how to better control magical energy."

"Don't hold any reservations, go all out, and sense the changes and flow of my magical energy."

The black Magical Girl showed a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, "This is experience I learned from Beihai's strongest Magical Girl. You better learn it well!"

...

When Keke and Li Yi finally emerged from Qiyun Academy, they were supporting each other, both somewhat unsteady on their feet.

Though uninjured, their faces showed exhaustion, and their clothes and hair were somewhat disheveled.

"Senior Hyacinth really doesn't hold back..."

"It's okay. I heard in the Magical Girl Combat Team that when Peony and the others trained with Senior Hyacinth before, they even got beaten to tears by her."

"Wow..."

But Keke could understand why Senior Hyacinth was so strict, because the progress was indeed significant.

Since her magical energy surge yesterday, her control over magical energy had been somewhat unstable.

But after practical combat training with Hyacinth, her previously restless magical energy had become docile again.

Precise control methods, magical energy conversion techniques, and some combat tricks.

Practical combat indeed improved much faster than haphazard training like a headless fly.

"Just now, Keke got so scared when Senior Hyacinth raised her hand that she flew back several meters. It looked so funny, hahaha."

"You have the nerve to say that? Who was the one who got beaten on the head with Senior Hyacinth's Magic Wand until you crouched down covering your head, almost crying?"

"That was just strategic deception!"

"Mine was strategic deception too!"

The two girls bickered along the way, laughing and playfully hitting each other as they ran toward Keke's home.

When they reached the roadside, Li Yi suddenly noticed that Keke, who had been happily laughing moments before, had pursed her lips and her expression had turned cold.

She looked over and indeed saw Keke's brother jogging over from the distance on the other side.

Without even glancing at them, he ran toward home.

"Senior Jiang Si!"

Li Yi immediately called out loudly. Jiang Si, who had been running forward, stopped and glanced back at her, his tone as cold as Keke's current expression, "What."

"I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

She then pushed Keke, "Keke, you go back first. I'll leave after I finish talking with Senior Jiang Si."

With a worried glance at her captain, but under Li Yi's determined gaze, Keke followed her suggestion and headed home first, though she kept looking back with every step. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Do you plan to be like this forever?"

"Not exactly." Jiang Si calculated, "In about seven years, when Keke goes to college, we'll separate and live our own lives."

"..."

Li Yi hadn't expected him to bring up seven years in the future, and for a moment didn't know how to continue.

After a long while, she finally took a breath, "So for these seven years, you plan to continue like this?"

"Is there something inappropriate about that?"

"Of course it's inappropriate!" Li Yi said angrily, "You're family! Siblings! With no parents, you should get along well and take care of each other, right? You should repair your relationship!"

Because that's how it was with her and her sister.

"We've always been getting along well and taking care of each other."

Jiang Si raised his eyebrows, "Why repair the relationship? Is our relationship bad?"

Li Yi opened her mouth, then almost laughed from frustration, "A relationship where you barely speak to each other isn't bad?"

"Does not speaking mean the relationship is bad?"

Though it made little sense, Li Yi was actually stumped by the question, "In our family, when my sister and I don't speak, it means our relationship isn't good..."

"That's your family."

Jiang Si interrupted her, "Every family is different, Captain Silver Lotus. If you're worried about Keke, you can take better care of her. There's no need for you to concern yourself with our family matters."

"Because I need to take care of her! Keke is my good friend, so I can't help but worry about her family situation!"

Li Yi said firmly, "As her brother, you should properly take care of her. Keke is clearly a very good, well-behaved girl. Because of you, she's always quiet, doesn't like to talk, has no friends at school..."

"That's just her personality."

For the first time, Li Yi wanted to transform and beat up an ordinary person.

Because when she got angry and wanted to take action, she suddenly realized that without transforming, she might not even be able to defeat him.

Even Cripple, enhanced by a Grief Seed, had been beaten to a pulp by him.

With just a bit of magical energy, her outcome probably wouldn't be much better than Cripple's...

This monster.

But professional ethics prevented her from transforming to bully an ordinary person, leaving her feeling somewhat wronged for a moment.

After taking several deep breaths to calm herself, she looked seriously at Jiang Si, "I hope Keke can live more happily and comfortably at home."

"Then you should tell her that."

"The one making her uncomfortable and unhappy is you."

"Oh."

"I will definitely fix you!"

"Are you done?"

Jiang Si tilted his head, "If you're done, I'm leaving."

"No!" Li Yi said angrily, "I haven't finished! You're not allowed to leave!"

Jogging alongside him, exhausted from the practical combat, Li Yi panted as she ran, "I... I will definitely... make you realize... your mistake..."

Jiang Si stopped and waited for a while until she caught her breath, then asked calmly, "Do you like Keke?"

"Yes!" Li Yi answered without hesitation, "She's my best friend now!"

"...Since she's your best friend."

Jiang Si tilted his head, looking at Li Yi, "Then you should be willing to have Keke live with your family."

Li Yi stared at him blankly, momentarily even forgetting to respond.

"Not willing?" Jiang Si shook his head and continued jogging home, "Then don't talk about liking or not liking."

"Do you really hate Keke that much?"

"If you think I'm making her unhappy, then wouldn't my disappearance be the best solution?" Jiang Si's tone remained flat, "If she finds living with me painful, then we should separate. But Keke can't live alone yet—someone needs to take care of her. I'd feel more at ease if she went to your family."

"I really don't understand."

Li Yi held her head, "Do you care about her or not?"

Seeing that Jiang Si was completely ignoring her and about to leave, Li Yi shouted loudly, "Jiang Si! I will definitely improve your relationship with Keke! Absolutely!"

How ridiculous.

After jogging home, he found Keke collapsed on the living room sofa, curled up as if extremely tired.

He changed his shoes, took a fresh set of clothes, and planned to take a shower first.

Apart from the siblings' breathing and footsteps, the large room was completely silent.

When passing by Keke, the young girl instinctively shrank further into the sofa, trying to distance herself from him.

Reaching the bathroom door, Jiang Si suddenly remembered something, "Your Captain Silver Lotus."

Keke raised her head and glanced at him.

"Her sister is called Yinluo?"

"I mentioned it the first time we went to the Disaster Control Bureau."

"Forgot."

After getting confirmation, Jiang Si nodded without saying anything more, entered the bathroom, and turned on the shower.

Yinluo.

The Witch Association member the Azure Cloud Sect was just preparing to kill.

It had nothing to do with him. Better to think about what to do during the upcoming date—that was the most important matter at hand.
