Chapter 415

The Witch snorted:

"I only used a little trick, otherwise how could she have activated Shining Form so quickly? Alright, it's enough that she can activate Shining Form now. To activate Shining 2, she still needs time to accumulate experience, so you can take her with you for now..."

The Witch was about to say that Xiao Bai could take Song Niandong away.

However, a sudden burst of magic interrupted the conversation between the Witch and Xiao Bai.

The Witch, who was drinking tea, paused, her hand holding the teacup still, and she and Xiao Bai turned their heads to look at the source of the magical burst.

Deep within the Witch's Garden, a dazzling pink light shot into the sky, dyeing the sky there a pink radiance that symbolized hope.

Gazing at the pillar of light shooting into the sky, the Witch paused for a moment, then unconsciously curled the corners of her lips into a smile:

"Ha, it's still doable, isn't it?"

Hearing the Witch's words, Xiao Bai nodded slightly.

They all knew very well what the beam of light represented.

This is Yu Muqiu's manifestation of a new form!

In real life, Yu Muqiu has finally awakened Shining 2!

Just wanted to let you know that I'm going back to my hometown tomorrow to sweep my grandfather's grave, so I won't be able to update. I'm taking a day off.

Um... I'll submit a leave request tomorrow.

Volume 4 <Magic Autumn> Theatrical Edition and Season 3: Chapter 448 Special Episode! Hot Spring Trip!

Yu Muqiu closed his eyes, feeling the power within his body.

When Yu Muqiu activated his initial Shine Form, he didn't understand what the Shining Form actually was.

Now, with the Witch's help, having actively activated the Shining 2 form, Yu Muqiu has come to understand what 'Shine' truly means.

Simply put, it's about the liberation of power.

The power of Magical Girls is not as simple as it seems on the surface. The enhancement of magical power and the mastery of magic are actually moving towards a more fundamental direction.

The Shining Form is a shortcut to one's own origin for a short period of time. During this time, one's magic power is affected by the magic source, thus achieving a leap in power.

The initial Shining Form was to open up a shortcut.

The Shining 2 form is essentially an expansion of this shortcut, adding a fast passage.

Of course, whether it's the initial Shine or Shining 2, the shortcuts opened can only last for a short period of time.

Even so, its own strength has been greatly enhanced.

At this moment, Yu Muqiu even began to understand why the Witch believed that only by activating Shining 2 could there be any hope of defeating the Demons.

Because...

If they simply activate their Shining Form, they will never be able to reach the true source of magic before their lives fade away.

In other words, even if they died of old age, they would at most be at the Commander Rank.

He's nowhere near as good as the Demon Lord.

Only by unlocking Shining 2 and gaining a deeper connection with the origin can they hope to one day stand against the Demon Lord.

Yes, even this is just 'hope'.

However, after Shining 2, Yu Muqiu felt that this 'shortcut' might still have the potential for expansion.

However... it requires a longer period of emotional buildup, and also further development of one's own magic.

This is not something that can be done right now.

But in short--

"I did it!!"

Yu Muqiu happily returned to the side of the Witch Lesos.

Although Lesos's 'training' was somewhat harsh, and Yu Muqiu still shudders when he thinks about it now, at least the result was good.

She has truly activated the Shining 2 form!

Xiao Qiu was excited and wanted to report the good news to her 'coach', Lesos, but she soon discovered that Xiao Bai was also with the Witch.

"Hey? Xiao Bai, what brings you here?"

"I've brought Xiao Chun here for special training."

Xiao Bai pointed to the peacefully lying Ms. Murong on the ground, then looked Xiao Qiu up and down and congratulated her:

"Congratulations on unlocking your new form! I told you you could do it!"

"Hehehe, it's all thanks to Miss Lesos... well, although the special training was indeed very tough..."

Yu Muqiu smiled sheepishly, but perhaps inadvertently thinking of the Witch's special training, her body trembled again.

Seeing Yu Muqiu's reaction, Xiao Bai became even more curious about the Witch's 'special training'.

She asked the Witch, "How exactly did you train them? Why are they all so afraid?"

Want to give it a try?

The Witch's smile suddenly brightened. She moved closer to Xiao Bai, her smile resembling that of the wolf in sheep's clothing who deceived Little Red, and said with a sly grin:

"Would you like to try it out? Maybe you can activate a new form too?"

"..."

The Witch's smile sent a chill down Xiao Bai. Reason and intuition calmed her down; she turned away from the Witch and, feigning nonchalance, asked Xiao Qiu:

"Ahem, you've activated Shining 2 now too. Are you going to stay here and continue training, or go back and rest?"

"Hmm, I'll train for a few more days. I need to master the new form completely."

Yu Muqiu hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

Yu Muqiu is now in a new form, similar to her initial form on the Sky Screen.

Although it doesn't need to rely on Magic Network, it does require time to develop before it can unlock its new form.

In order to overcome this deficiency, Yu Muqiu's special training must continue.

"Alright, then I'll leave Xiao Chun in your care for the next few days."

Xiao Bai pointed to Xiao Chun, who was still unconscious on the ground, and then asked Xiao Qiu for help.

"Okay! Don't worry, Xiao Bai! I'll definitely take good care of Xiao Chun!" Yu Muqiu patted her chest to assure her, but then she frowned and asked, "... But, Xiao Bai, you won't run away during this time, will you?"

"Won't."

Xiao Bai.

She is now prepared to be exposed, and even if Yu Muqiu finds out her identity, Xiao Bai will be able to handle it calmly.

After all, Yu Muqiu had said that she wouldn't feel disgusted with Xiao Bai because of her true identity.

Xiao Bai believed in Yu Muqiu; she had always believed in the child's sincerity.

Therefore, Xiao Bai had no need to run away.

Hearing this, Yu Muqiu felt relieved and smiled at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai looked around, then comforted Song Niandong again before deciding to leave the Witch's Garden and return to the island to wait.

However, just as Xiao Bai was about to leave, the Witch suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? The screen is lit up again."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai paused and abruptly turned to look at the screen next to the Witch.

As if it possessed self-awareness, the small screen magnified in front of everyone, becoming the size of a movie theater screen.

The Witch snapped her fingers, and the Magical Girls who were undergoing training returned. Then the sky darkened, and the brightness of the Sky Screen became clearer.

The Magical Girls, who had just returned, saw Xiao Bai but hadn't even had a chance to greet him before the screen lit up.

Xiao Qiu asked in surprise:

"This... this is skipping straight to episode eight?!"

"Wrong..."

Having regained consciousness, Xiao Chun sat up from the ground and frowned as she looked at the scene playing on the screen:

"This... sounds like the theme song for season two?"

"This is... an OVA...?"

Xiao Bai chimed in at this moment.

Xiao Qiu asked in surprise, "OVA?"

"Original video animation means completely original storyline..." Xiao Bai explained, "This is a completely original storyline added to the DVDs by the anime production company to sell DVDs. Normally, it should be fictional..."

"Yes, normally speaking," Xiao Chun muttered to herself, then glanced at Xiao Bai.

However, this is Sky Screen, and among all the storylines that Sky Screen has broadcast so far, there doesn't seem to be any fake content. Therefore, it's hard to guarantee that this so-called 'OVA' is a completely original story.

The timing of this OVA's release is quite clever; it happens right before the episode where Xiao Bai's identity is about to be revealed...

Xiao Chun thought to herself that she was sure she would see something interesting later.

Xiao Bai, on the other hand, had a bad feeling.

She suddenly remembered the harsh words she had said to Sky Screen in her mind earlier that day... Could it be that Sky Screen... has developed a sense of self... and is holding a grudge?

No way???

"Wait a minute..." Xiao Chun glanced at the plot and suddenly asked in confusion, "This episode... doesn't seem to have any comments..."

"Oh, really?"

Xiao Qiu also said in surprise.

Normally, the Sky Screen would display comments, but this episode was different; there were none at all...

Was the comment section blocked in this episode... or...?

Just as I was thinking that, a comment flashed across my screen.

([Chen Xiaoxia]: Huh? Where did the comments go in this episode?)

(Stella:... It seems like this is a scene only we can see.)

Seeing the two people's comments scrolling by, everyone instantly understood that this time the Sky Screen hadn't disabled the comment function, but rather that it seemed only members of the Magical Girls Sky Screen could see it!

The thought of this made Xiao Bai break out in a cold sweat even more.

What could it be that only Magical Girls can see...? It's really hard to guess...

The story begins in a snowy winter. Xiao Bai, along with Xiao Qiu, Xiaoxia, Xiao Chun, and Dongdong, arrive at a hot spring resort located in the mountains.

Xiao Qiu and the others chattered excitedly in the car.

Looking at the snowy scene outside, Xiao Qiu excitedly said:

"I've never been to a hot spring before in my entire life!"

"Yeah, I never expected Dongdong to be so lucky..."

Xiaoxia looked up at Song Niandong in the passenger seat.

Her thoughts drifted back to a few days ago, when they had just started their holiday.

To celebrate the start of winter break, they went out for hot pot together, and then participated in a raffle at a shop near the restaurant.

The top three prizes are a seven-day tour of a scenic spot outside the district, a five-day tour of a scenic spot within the district, and a three-day tour of a hot spring resort within the province.

Logically speaking, these top prizes should have been predetermined, but whether it was a mistake by the merchants or Dongdong's luck was just that good, Dongdong actually won the third prize!

Xiaoxia thought there might have been some mistake on the merchant's side.

Because she noticed that when Dongdong won the third prize, the mall manager's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Anyway, the third prize belongs to them.

A three-day hot spring resort trip within this province!

"It's a pity that Brother Fang Ming isn't here."
