You Should Become a Magical Girl Too
I just don't know if it's the complete version or an incomplete version.
As for Chen Xiaoxia...
Fang Ming believed that Chen Xiaoxia pull herself together, and everyone believed that Chen Xiaoxia would pull herself together; this was the only thing that was beyond doubt.
Because.
She is one of the main characters.
Sure enough, just as Xiao Bai was about to attack the robot, Chen Xiaoxia stood up and said to Xiao Bai:
"... Give it to me."
Xiao Bai turned to look at Chen Xiaoxia in surprise. There was still a lingering confusion on Chen Xiaoxia's face, and her eyes were filled with a worrying emptiness.
But she did stand up, as if trying to prove something, and stood beside Xiao Bai.
"Now is not the time to be willful."
Xiao Bai said in a cold voice, but unlike her usual icy tone, there was a lot of worry in her voice now.
She was genuinely worried about Chen Xiaoxia.
"... I'm very weak, aren't I?" Chen Xiaoxia suddenly asked Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai did not answer.
Regardless of what Xiao Bai thinks now, she has no intention of provoking Chen Xiaoxia, because the light in Chen Xiaoxia's Light of the Soul is dimming further.
Without Xiao Bai needing to answer, Chen Xiaoxia spoke up herself:
"I'm weak, weaker than you... even weaker than Xiao Qiu, I know that..."
"Robert!!!"
The robot wouldn't give Xiao Bai and Chen Xiaoxia time to talk. While the two were speaking, it roared again, raised its hands, and the laser emitters on its wrists simultaneously emitted thick lasers that were a meter wide!
Two blue and white laser beams shot straight at Chen Xiaoxia, but before they could reach Chen Xiaoxia, silver chains passed by and formed a barrier, protecting the two of them behind them.
The blue-white laser failed to break through the silver chain defenses.
In fact, if Xiao Bai wanted to, defeating Robert would only take a few seconds.
But she didn't do that.
Xiao Bai could tell that Chen Xiaoxia wanted to do something here.
Chen Xiaoxia lowered her head, her short blue hair with bangs obscuring her face, making it impossible to see her eyes.
She continued:
"I know... I know everything. I understand you guys are amazing, I understand Xiao Qiu has great potential, and I also understand that Shining Form is a peak I can never reach. I know..."
"But... I'm just not reconciled! Xiao Qiu... I've always been the one protecting Xiao Qiu, since she was little, since a long time ago... I've always been the one protecting her!"
"I was really happy that Xiao Qiu became Magical Girls and gained the power to protect herself. Later, I also became Magical Girls and was able to continue protecting Xiao Qiu, which made me even happier."
"Because I know I can still protect her, I can still stand in front of her like an older sister!"
"Robert --!!!"
The robot roared again, and more missiles came flying, but they were all destroyed in mid-air by the chains. Brilliant fireworks bloomed inside the barrier, and the chains blocked all the escaping shockwaves.
Robert's roar didn't stop Xiaoxia from speaking. She clenched her fist, gripped her greatsword in her right hand, and continued:
"... But... I can't catch up with her anymore! She... she no longer needs my protection..."
"Rob--"
"Robert! You 'Robert so noisy!!!"
Chen Xiaoxia suddenly roared, raised her head, her eyes bloodshot and tear-streaked, her face filled with anger as she met Robert in the distance.
Even Robert paused briefly at the roar, stunned and unresponsive for a long time.
Chen Xiaoxia gritted her teeth, gripped her greatsword tightly, and said:
"I know I don't have your strength right now, and I know I'll never catch up to you in the future! But at least for now—"
Chen Xiaoxia raised the greatsword, stepped forward with her right foot, bent her knee, and assumed a running posture, roaring:
"--At least for now! I want to stay by your side! So... you're not allowed to make a move!! Let me do it!!"
Bang!!!
The ground shattered, Chen Xiaoxia's figure transformed into a blue meteor, kicking up dust and rock fragments as she flashed to Robert's side!
With her greatsword swung down towards Robert's vitals, Chen Xiaoxia had already pushed herself to the limit with this strike!
But--
Thump--!!!
Two more arms suddenly appeared behind Robert, one of which clenched a fist and slammed into her with even greater speed than Chen Xiaoxia.
The blue starlight transformed into a shooting star once more, hurtling backward and crashing into the buildings within the barrier.
Upon seeing Xiao Bai, Xiaobai's pupils constricted slightly, and he subconsciously took a step forward.
But she had only taken one step when she heard Chen Xiaoxia's roar:
"Don't come any closer!!!"
Amidst the ruins, Chen Xiaoxia yelled at Xiao Bai, who wanted to come to her aid, "This is my battle!! You're not allowed to interfere!!!"
After saying that, she transformed into a shooting star once more and rushed towards Robert!
Chapter 120 Let's Become Magical Girls Too!
Chen Xiaoxia's abilities are still too weak compared to Robert's.
After all, Chen Xiaoxia's current strength is still below Xiao Qiu's normal form.
Once Xiao Qiu activated her Shining Form, her magic power accumulation rate was far, far faster than Chen Xiaoxia's.
If the basic Magical Girls's strength is '100', then Xiao Qiu's strength was previously '900' or higher.
So, once Xiao Qiu activates her Shining Form, her strength will instantly jump to over 3000!
Under these circumstances, Xiao Qiu's magic power also reached over 1000.
1000 is actually the dividing line between the Lower Rank and Middle Rank.
Where is Chen Xiaoxia?
Her strength is stronger than Xiao Qiu's, around 950, but Robert's strength is also over 1000, although he may have barely crossed that limit.
But her overall strength is indeed far superior to Chen Xiaoxia's.
Therefore, no matter what, Chen Xiaoxia would be knocked away by Robert. This was only because Chen Xiaoxia had accumulated some combat experience through many battles; otherwise, she would not have been knocked away but seriously injured.
We can't beat them.
This is what Chen Xiaoxia is thinking deep down.
She was indeed no match for Robert; facing him was like facing Songstress Demon— utterly powerless.
No... the Songstress Demon is probably much, much stronger than Robert, but whether it's the Songstress or Robert, Chen Xiaoxia can't beat them.
As she herself said.
She's too weak. Compared to the Magical Girls who have activated their Shining Form, she's far too weak.
Chen Xiaoxia was unwilling to give up. She had already embarrassed herself by being distracted during the battle. If she were to admit defeat now, she would never be able to hold her head up in front of Xiao Bai for the rest of her life!
With great difficulty, Chen Xiaoxia, already covered in wounds, managed to get up again, leaning on her greatsword for support.
She looked down at the ground, sweat dripping from her face and soaking into the floor, leaving dark stains. Her breathing was rapid, and her magic was beginning to wane.
In a daze... she suddenly thought that perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to just sink into the world of dreams like this.
At least there, she could still fight alongside Xiao Qiu and enjoy Xiao Bai's unwilling yet forced gaze.
The memories from her dream were so vivid and clear that Xiaoxia still remembers them perfectly.
That's why she was distracted when she first realized it was reality; it wasn't that Chen Xiaoxia wanted to be distracted.
That dream was just what she wanted to hear.
But... a dream is just a dream after all...
Bang!!
Robert's attack came again, and Chen Xiaoxia barely managed to grab her Magical Armament to resist, only to be knocked away once more.
This time, Chen Xiaoxia struggled for a long time but couldn't stand up.
Xiao Bai sighed. She couldn't stand it anymore and decided to resolve this heartbreaking farce.
However, Chen Xiaoxia still refused to let her come over:
"I already told you... not to... come over..."
Chen Xiaoxia Youyou got up from her half-kneeling position on the ground and said to Xiao Bai.
Xiao Bai couldn't help but scold her:
"At a time like this, stop fooling around!"
"No way... it's ridiculous!!! You don't understand at all!!!"
Chen Xiaoxia retorted to Xiao Bai, her voice somewhat hoarse.
Xiao Bai doesn't understand anything at all. She wants to defeat the Robot Robert not to prove how powerful she is, but to prove...
She still has the right to stay by Xiao Qiu's side.
My vision blurred; I couldn't tell if it was tears or sweat obscuring my eyes.
In this blurred vision, Chen Xiaoxia seemed to see the past.
(Xiaoxia... is still too competitive)
(No, it was clear from the first season that Xiaoxia had always considered herself Xiao Qiu's protector.)
(But don't be too stubborn at this point; there's nothing wrong with accepting Xiao Bai's help...)
(Alright, alright, let's leave the heavy stuff behind! Look, Xiaoxia's going into a flashback!)
(Great! Xiaoxia, quickly activate your Shining Form and annihilate that damned giant robot! That wretched robot, how dare it bully my Xiaoxia like this!)
Xiaoxia's fans are speaking out in defense of Xiaoxia.
Xiao Qiu, however, looked at Chen Xiaoxia on the Sky Screen with worry and guilt.
"I... I had no idea that Xiaoxia... cared about these things so much..."
Xiao Qiu's eyes were red.
She never knew what Chen Xiaoxia was thinking; she always believed that by activating her Shining Form, she could protect everyone.
Xiaoxia's constant encouragement made Xiao Qiu believe that her idea was correct.
However, Chen Xiaoxia's feelings were overlooked.
Xiao Chun sat silently to the side.
Chen Xiaoxia had the same idea, but she wasn't as... obsessed with it as Chen Xiaoxia.
In reality, she had already activated her Shining Form before Chen Xiaoxia. Although she was still a bit clumsy using this form, she had activated it at least, which made her mindset more peaceful.
But I wonder... what Xiao Chun on the Sky Screen is thinking.
Is Xiao Chun on the Sky Screen also getting stuck on a rut?
Xiao Chun guessed and continued to look up at the Sky Screen.
Xiaoxia's memories are long; the first thing she recalls is her meeting with Xiao Qiu.
That happened back in elementary school. Xiao Qiu was bullied and teased by some annoying boys, and some of them even pulled Xiao Qiu pigtails.
It was at that moment that Chen Xiaoxia, unable to stand by and watch, stepped forward and chased away the group of boys who were teasing Xiao Qiu.
It was from that time that the two met and became friends.
"If someone bullies you, you should fight back! That way they won't bully you anymore! That's what my dad told me!"
Young Chen Xiaoxia walked in front, while Xiao Qiu, who was about the same height as her, walked behind her with her schoolbag on her back, her little head nodding.
