Dad, Please Let Me Be Your One-Person Fan! Chapter 386

Because it's a private university, the teachers also have apartments on campus, and there were surprisingly quite a few people in the office. She received a warm welcome shortly after she walked in.

"Teacher Jiang, your class's big star has arrived."

"Xiao Chu, what brings you back to school? Isn't the show still filming?"

"Girls change so much as they grow up! This child has become even more beautiful after taking 'Flashdance'."

"You'd better get the teacher's autograph; my child really likes you now."

The girl's lovely face flushed red, clearly embarrassed by the commotion. With the help of her homeroom teacher, she quickly dealt with the group of teachers and elders before finally being freed to talk about serious matters.

What the homeroom teacher really wanted to ask was whether she would be willing to have her photo printed in the school's recruitment advertisements for the next year, to be used as a showcase to attract more junior students.

In the past, she would have worried about her idol status and felt that she shouldn't bring it into the school. But the recent exposure of her Magical Girl means that in the public's perception, the label of Magical Girl will eventually be heavier than that of idol.

Therefore, this problem is no longer a problem.

As for his Dad's suggestion, the homeroom teacher had already asked him, and the matter was essentially passed back to him.

Chu Wangshu thought for a moment, and without much hesitation, she agreed. After saying goodbye to her homeroom teacher, she walked through the empty campus, skillfully navigating the corridor, and arrived at the teaching building on the other side. In the dance studio where she used to practice folk dance, there were still familiar female students practicing.

The girl looked out the window for a while, and was soon successfully arrested.

"Wow, it's Senior Chu!"

"Xiao Shu, quickly give me your autograph!"

"Waaaah, you're so cunning! How could you secretly sign up for Flash Dance?! Do you know? The whole school is talking about you."

"Your senior is amazing! I also signed up for the audition the other day, but I got so nervous when I went on stage that I completely messed up."

"Senior, can I post the group photo on WeChat Moments?"

"Xiao Shu, are Magical Girl real? Can you fly now?"

Surrounded by the little girls, Chu Wangshu listened patiently to their chattering voices, explaining and answering them with a nostalgic smile.

The younger student's enthusiastic questions instantly transported her back to her high school days.

It's strange, even though only a few months have passed, that memory seems to be fading, becoming hazy and unfamiliar in my heart, so much so that hearing everyone's voices makes me feel warm and happy.

Thinking about it this way, perhaps deep down she was never ready to become officially famous and be known to the world as an idol.

Well, I guess you could call it a happy kind of trouble?

Chu Wangshu has never forgotten how many outstanding trainees were eliminated by Flash Dance. If she hadn't been unexpectedly assigned to a group with Yayoi- nee and subsequently formed the current team, she might not have been able to step into the [Flow State] realm, nor might she have been able to advance.

The girl stayed there for half an hour, exchanged WeChat with all the female students present, and then left the dance studio amidst everyone's reluctant gazes to reunite with her former roommates and good friends.

Having not seen each other for so long, everyone felt a bit awkward.

But the advantage of student life is its purity. Even former classmates can transform from ordinary top students into idols with a certain degree of fame across the internet, who will eventually achieve financial freedom.

After a few words about interesting things from the past, the atmosphere became relaxed and lively. Everyone had lunch outside, strolled along the Bund for a while, agreed to meet again in a few days, and then parted ways under the setting sun.

As Chu Wangshu watched the figures gradually lengthen and slowly disappear in the afterglow, a sense of melancholy filled her heart. She knew that after this week, they might not be able to see each other again.

"Dad, I think I understand why you work so hard now."

Whether it's Magical Girl or an idol, these are special jobs, and she may never see everyone again in her lifetime.

But aren't people always like that?

Most friendships in life are temporary; every meeting is one less time you'll have.

But even so, it doesn't matter. Precisely because it's not eternal, precisely because every meeting is one less, we cherish the present moment more and are more grateful for the happiness we have now.

Chu Wangshu didn't think she was any greater than her Dad. She was just an ordinary person, but even the most ordinary person has things they want to hold onto.

Even if your palm is small, so small that it can't hold much, it's still enough reason to open your hand.

"Dad, I will grow up enough to protect you."

The girl lowered her eyes to look at the shimmering water by the bridge. The leaping arcs of light shattered into gold in the waves. The river rose and fell with her breath like the scales of a giant dragon. She heard the sound of the [Cocoon of the Heart] collapsing. Her hair was blown by the wind, and she felt at peace.

The torrent of magic roared in whispers, the foundation accumulated over half a year in the ideal land, upon returning to the Sea Capital and reuniting with old friends, catalyzing the hazy flower buds to materialize, the cocoon shell shattering with a rumble, and the shimmering, ethereal colors swirling away.

Thus, tall, upright tubers sprout and emerge, followed by rough yet resilient single leaves that extend outwards. Daisy-like flower heads begin to form, with deep yellow petals piling up and weaving into a cluster of sunflowers of a special variety.

Sunflower, sunflower, sun-facing lotus.

In her heart, this bouquet symbolizes childhood and good fortune, a symbol clearly linked to her father. Its Flower Language includes faith, brilliance, pride, loyalty, and admiration, signifying silent love.

And that last little bit, for her, represented her father.

"Dad, I don't want to be the moon in your heart anymore. I want to be a hotter, warmer, and more powerful sun. I want to... shine with a light that can illuminate you."

At this moment, the blessings of Flower Language are bestowed.

At the same time, it is different from the [Flower Bloom] of others.

Chu Wangshu's magical colors underwent a dramatic transformation at the moment of breaking free from the cocoon. The blue-green color, symbolizing Charlotte's blessing, seemed to be mixed with other pigments, continuously transforming into a deep yellow, and then gradually becoming hot and scorching, blending into gold.

In the end, each Magic Particles froze into a vibrant golden color, beautiful and warm, like sunflowers blooming all over the mountains under the sun.

Chu Wangshu snapped back to reality, lowering her gaze to the blooming Soul Flower. After half a year, she finally glimpsed the vague, Destined Magic.

--[Child of Man].

--The Diva of the End, the Saint of Salvation, you are their last gift, and the world's final offering.

--The last Child of Man, the blessings of all mankind shone upon you, the swarms of calamities that destroyed countless galaxies celebrated for you, and now... the stars crown you.

These complex and obscure murmurs echoed in my ears amidst the lingering blessings of the Flower Language, only to quickly fade from my consciousness and vanish, transforming into simpler and more straightforward words.

--[Child of Man].

--Effect 1: Final Blessing, when weapons are upon you, the power of the Funeral Procession will be briefly revived for you.

--Effect 2: Brave's Blessing. When facing calamity, your honed martial arts skills will guide you on your path.

--Effect 3: Gift of the Stars - When your magic is insufficient, the endless Cosmic Dimensions will open its arms to you.

--Effect 4: The Blessing of the Calamity Group. When encountering Calamity Beasts that is not in the Disaster God sequence, it can be intimidated and tamed.

Volume 1: 359. The Adventures of Little Cotton-padded Jacket, Her Invincible Aura. (5K)

The Sea Capital, with its river surface, embankment, green belts, and buildings, is enveloped and swallowed by the beautiful sunset, exuding romance and magic.

Chu Wangshu stood by the bridge, her harmonious and exquisite features silhouetted beautifully against the backlight. Her drooping eyelashes shimmered in the sunset, making her a stunning sight to behold and attracting the attention of passersby.

The little girl completely forgot that she had taken off her mask. She stood there, unaware of the increasingly excited gazes around her. Her mind was filled with the information from the Soul Flower, her pupils dilated in shock.

Huh? Did I open it?

This Destined Magic called "[Child of Man]" is just too outrageous!

Although she didn't know exactly how powerful the Funeral Procession ability and the martial arts enhancement were, the latter two seemed very strange.

The meaning of this link to the endless Cosmic Dimensions is, simply put, the ability to infinitely replenish mana when you're low on it. While that's an exaggeration, it can still be understood as a type of spatial magic.

The ability to deter and tame hordes of disasters transcends the realm of magic; it is a special power that should not be wielded by Magical Girl.

Something's wrong. Something's very wrong.

Chu Wangshu's brain was overloaded. She felt like she had become a hero in a Green Eyed Cat RPG game with all sorts of cheat codes. Her first reaction was not surprise, but a sense of extremely magical absurdity.

Why is this Destined Magic so strange?

The little girl still remembered the whispers that seemed to be blessings; they weren't an introduction to the [Child of Man]'s abilities, but rather an explanation of its origin.

Strangely, before those messages could be processed by consciousness, they gradually blurred and disappeared, leaving only the phrase "the last Child of Man" lingering in memory.

Chu Wangshu couldn't understand the meaning behind it.

Because literally, it means that it is the last child of the human race.

But aren't the streets full of people? Sea Capital has nearly 100 million people, including underage children and newborn babies—the numbers are countless.

Therefore, this conclusion is either wrong, or there is another way to interpret it.

Chu Wangshu wasn't stupid. She immediately realized that her Destined Magic, [Child of Man], must be related to her background. What was special about her wasn't her ordinary life from childhood, but that she saved the world and created her [Pure White] Dad and mysterious mother.

But at that moment, passersby recognized her, and shouts of "Chu Wangshu" and "Yue Bao" made her instantly realize that she had forgotten to wear a mask.

The little girl was surrounded by several fans who rushed ahead. She shyly put her finger to her lips and said "shh." Her eyelashes fluttered, indicating that they should not make too much noise. Her fair face was already flushed.

Damn it, she suddenly understood how Liuli felt when she was surrounded by fans.

Even if you're not socially anxious, you'll still feel shy when strangers surround you and call you by all sorts of weird nicknames.

"Yue Bao's face is blushing! So cute!"

"Yue Bao, you must do your best in the Third Performance!"

"Did you just return to China for a break recently? You haven't posted on Weibo for two weeks, and everyone is worried about you."

"Don't push yourself too hard during training. Xiao Shu is already excellent enough; she'll definitely debut!"

"Go for it! I'll be there to watch your performance and cheer you on!"

Chu Wangshu accepted the blessings of many fans. While chatting with everyone, she took out autographed postcards from her bag—which she had prepared on the plane after meeting Xu Youyue —and gave one to each person. She then took group photos with everyone in turn.

After that, before more people gathered around, the little girl quickly put on a mask, waved goodbye to everyone apologetically, turned and ran. As soon as she reached a blind spot, she used magic to become invisible and successfully escaped the "crisis".

"Although everyone is doing well, I still can't get used to it all at once."

Chu Wangshu put on his hood and walked into the bustling subway station. He was still shaken by the earlier siege. Rather than feeling scared or terrified, he felt a heavy burden of his idol image.

Because... she wasn't wearing makeup, and her clothes were very ordinary. She also couldn't help feeling nervous when talking to her fans. What if she acted like a clueless goofball? Wouldn't that be too different from what her fans imagined, leading to their dreams being shattered?

If it weren't for the greater importance of [the Child of Man], she would definitely have overthought this matter, rehearsing her words and expressions for the next meeting with fans thousands of times in her mind before she could barely end the internal strife.

As for now,

"I need to verify the authenticity of this magic, to prove that it's not just a figment of my imagination stemming from my excessive desire to become stronger."

Chu Wangshu's cute face showed a serious expression. The four abilities of the [Child of Man] are: Final Blessing, Brave's Blessing, Gift of the Stars, and Favor of the Calamity.

The first two require facing weapons and calamities head-on, while the latter two require running out of magic power and encountering Calamity Beasts that are not part of the Disaster God sequence.

"It's a pity. If we were in the Ideal Country, we could just go straight to the Tower of Mirrors."

"Right now, we can only ask if there are any Calamity Beasts incidents near Dream Weaver."

Real-world application is the best test of magic.

Chu Wangshu has already challenged many dungeons in the Tower of Mirrors, and she has also cleared out various bizarre Calamity Beasts with other Magical Girl during monthly and final exams in the Disaster Tide dungeon, which is modeled after the border of the empire.

Therefore, her tension and fear about fighting the Calamity Beasts in reality have been reduced to a minimum, just like gradually getting used to stepping onto the stage.

And this, perhaps, is the most important gain for the Magical Girl during their six months in the utopia.

At this very moment, in the next carriage.

"Do you want her to go?"

A delicate doll with silver hair and red eyes sat opposite Chu Yuanqing. She pulled out a virtual screen, and in the holographic map of Sea Capital, more than a dozen red dots symbolizing calamities were being assigned to different troops to eliminate them in real time.

Although Sea Capital, as a top-tier metropolis, is one of the safest places in the world, its vast area, coupled with the increasing concentration of auspicious energies, has begun to give rise to calamities.

At the same time, it is also the most conspicuous target.

The remnants of the Cult of Disaster Gods are tirelessly establishing themselves here.

After all, destroying a top-tier city would inevitably have an immeasurable negative impact on human civilization.

The Utopia incident temporarily forced the Thirteen Sects to hide even deeper, and the followers were more willing to use this method to break the Countermeasures Bureau's blockade of the forbidden area.

Chu Yuanqing was silent for a moment, then replied:

"Xiao Shu isn't a child anymore, you don't need to ask me."

Although she didn't know that Little Cotton-padded Jacket had obtained the [Child of Man]'s Destined Magic, she had been following behind him and witnessed the moment when the [Flower Bloom] bloomed by the river.

Logically and emotionally, Xiao Shu is now qualified to officially step onto the battlefield and is fully capable of fulfilling her duties as Magical Girl.

Astrid glanced at the Pure White Witch, nodded in understanding, and her body vanished into nothingness like a bubble, leaving no trace.

Throughout the entire process, no one in the crowded throng noticed the arrival and departure of this Super AI.

On the other side, Little Cotton-padded Jacket's phone vibrated, and the Countermeasures Bureau app lit up. The red dot, which looked like an email, turned into a real-time virtual map when tapped.

Above it, red arrows representing aerial trajectories meander in the form of dotted lines, indicating how to reach the disaster site as quickly as possible. Next to them are switches indicating whether to turn on voice navigation or request AI assistance.

Chu Wangshu found it quite novel; her eyes sparkled as she mentally recited the address and hints:

"847 Cangwu Road, is the destination a bar? I've never been to a bar before. If my fans see me in a bar, they'll definitely be unhappy. I need to use a disguise spell before I go."
