Copying Homework!

But... the Magic Barrier had only just been set up when Xiaoxia and Xiao Bai disappeared. A few minutes later, the Magic Barrier vanished, and Xiao Bai and Xiaoxia reappeared in the entrance hall of the old school building.

Unlike when she entered the barrier to fight before, Chen Xiaoxia was now kneeling on the ground, panting heavily, with large beads of sweat streaming down her forehead, dripping onto the ground, and finally exploding on the floor.

"You're too weak right now."

Xiao Bai spoke to Xiaoxia without any mercy.

In the battle just now, Xiao Bai hardly did anything, letting Chen Xiaoxia do the attacks herself.

Even so, despite Chen Xiaoxia's best efforts, she couldn't break through Xiao Bai's defense.

Finally, he was completely defeated by Xiao Bai's chain attack, and ended up like this.

"So... so strong..." Chen Xiaoxia's voice trembled as she looked at her reflection on the floor and murmured:

"... Xiao Qiu... is she this amazing now too?"

"Why are you so concerned about this?" Xiao Bai asked in surprise, "The Nightmare Seed no longer exists, so there's no point in you continuing to get stronger, right?"

"That's true...!"

Chen Xiaoxia suddenly looked up, meeting Xiao Bai's eyes, but then lowered her head again, swallowing back the words deep in her heart, and whispered:

"... But... there will still be Demons coming. Didn't Nino say that their homeland was destroyed by Demons? So I'm worried... what if Demons come..."

That's an excuse.

In fact, Chen Xiaoxia had never thought about these things before the new crisis emerged.

She just didn't want to show her embarrassing side in front of Xiao Bai.

Unfortunately, she couldn't hide it from Xiao Bai.

"Chen Xiaoxia, has anyone ever told you that you're not good at lying?"

"..."

Chen Xiaoxia did not answer.

Seeing this, Xiao Bai didn't press the matter further and turned to leave.

Suddenly, Chen Xiaoxia asked, "Why... are you so amazing?"

What do you mean?

"You weren't using Shine Mode, but... you're just as strong as Xiao Qiu... no, even stronger than her. How did you do that?"

Chen Xiaoxia stood up and asked.

Xiao Bai turned his back to her and walked towards the exit of the old school building, answering as he did so:

"I paid the price."

"...!"

Chen Xiaoxia's eyes widened.

Cost?

What kind of price?

She was about to ask a question, but Xiao Bai had already decided to ignore her.

Xiao Bai walked in a hurry, as if she had something important to say. After she finished talking to Chen Xiaoxia, she had already reached the edge of the school building entrance.

However, when Xiao Bai opened the school building gate, she suddenly froze on the spot.

She stood there, her fists clenched, hesitant to step out the door.

Chen Xiaoxia didn't notice this. Seeing Xiao Bai stop, she immediately got up and caught up, putting one hand on Xiao Bai's shoulder and pulling him along, while asking:

"What kind of price did you pay? How could you..."

Before Chen Xiaoxia could finish speaking, she saw Xiao Bai looking at her with a slightly disgusted expression.

Chen Xiaoxia: "?"

"Idiot, haven't you noticed yet?"

"Ah?"

Chen Xiaoxia didn't quite understand what Xiao Bai was saying.

Xiao Bai pointed to the school building entrance and said, "See for yourself, you idiot."

"... You called me 'idiot' again! And twice!!"

Chen Xiaoxia spoke to Xiao Bai with dissatisfaction, but when she turned her head, she was equally stunned by the scene outside the school building.

Beyond the glass doors of the school building lies a scene that is not what can be seen through the glass.

The playground under the setting sun, the students still playing ball on the playground in the distance... all these scenes disappeared the moment the door opened.

Before Chen Xiaoxia and Xiao Bai were only old school buildings exactly the same as this one, with halls facing each other, glass doors facing each other, and even the notices and various campus culture 'exhibitions' hanging on the walls of the halls on both sides were exactly the same!

After opening the door, it wasn't the exit; they entered a new space!

While Chen Xiaoxia was astonished and Xiao Bai frowned in thought.

The intro to the ending theme begins.

End of episode 3!

Chapter 104 Copying Homework!

(It broke down here again?!)

(Sky Screen! I've been putting up with you for too long! You'd better release episode four right now! Otherwise I'll... I'll draw a circle and curse you!)

(Gaia --!!!)

(Wait, there's no fight scene in this episode? I thought I'd see Xiao Bai and Xiaoxia fight.)

(What's so interesting about a one-sided, crushing victory? You'd be better off watching what happens at the end.)

(Need you even ask? Dongdong made the move.)

(Now everyone's tacitly accepting that Dongdong is the one causing trouble in the Sky Screen, right...?)

The scene at the end of the third episode surprised the audience and also made Fang Ming unconsciously turn his gaze to the rabbit beside him.

Black Rabbit Youyou looked innocently at Fang Ming and blinked, saying:

"Why are you looking at me? You yourself said that what's on the Sky Screen now is the future. How could I possibly know what Dongdong is doing inside the Sky Screen?"

"Dongdong's magic is the 'Book of Friends,' she shouldn't be able to create this kind of spatial dislocation. Besides you, who else could do it?"

Fang Ming didn't believe the Black Rabbit's words.

Youyou spread her hands and said, "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me. Maybe there will be other Magical Girls besides Dongdong in the second season?"

Youyou genuinely had no idea what was going on.

The time shown in the Sky Screen is half a month from now; no one knows what will happen in the meantime.

Perhaps during this time Dongdong made some 'new friends' and added them to his Book of Friends.

It's also possible that Magical Girls who hasn't been mentioned by the Sky Screen has actually appeared.

Although the possibility is small, it is by no means zero.

"... never mind."

Fang Ming thought about it for a moment, then couldn't be bothered to figure out what was going on.

The second season of Sky Screen airs one episode a day. As long as he keeps watching, he'll eventually find out what's going on.

Instead of exploring the future of that altered worldline, it's better to consider what comes next.

Why did Fang Ming say that?

Because Xiao Chun has already sent a message.

She's coming here for lunch...

"... Why is it Xiao Bai?"

Having disguised herself and broken away from the group again to arrive at Fang Ming's safe house, Xiao Chun, upon seeing Xiao Bai who was wearing an apron to greet her, blurted out this question.

"Weren't you going to discuss Magical Girls?" Xiao Bai, inviting Xiao Chun in before closing the door and saying:

"Then this posture is the best."

Why do I feel like you're the one who's shy?

"Illusion."

Xiao Bai said it with absolute certainty, and judging from her expression, there was indeed no sign of shyness.

Well, maybe it's because she's not wearing the dress Xiao Chun bought for her yesterday.

It's a pity I didn't get to see Brother Fang Ming, and it's also a pity I didn't get to see the shy Xiao Bai in her dress, but Xiao Chun isn't the type to hold grudges.

After joking with Xiao Bai for a bit, she went into the room and started talking about serious matters:

You watched episode three too, right?

"Um."

"Well... you probably guessed it. If nothing unexpected happens, Xiaoxia her Shining Form in episode four or five, which fits the pacing of an anime series."

Xiao Chun sat on the sofa and spoke to Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai sat down opposite Xiao Chun and echoed:

"I know, so what? What are you planning to do?"

She knew that Xiao Chun had come today to discuss how to unlock Xiaoxia's Shining Form.

So Xiao Bai wants to know what Xiao Chun is going to do.

"I've already called Xiaoxia and told her not to watch episodes four and five, and to stay home and calm down these next few days."

Xiao Chun said this to Xiao Bai.

"!" Xiao Bai was slightly taken aback, then instantly understood Xiao Chun's meaning. "You plan to... replicate the scene of the Sky Screen?!"

"That's right." Xiao Chun nodded. "To get Xiaoxia her Shining Form, replicating the plot in the Sky Screen is the most suitable approach, because it's a guaranteed plot. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiaoxia her Shining Form is almost a certainty."

Xiao Chun's method can be summed up in just three words.

Copying homework!

What's displayed on the Sky Screen is the future, a dozen days from now.

For Chen Xiaoxia, the difference of more than ten days was practically non-existent.

To put it bluntly, since the final battle at the end of summer vacation, their strength has almost stagnated!

Therefore, if Xiaoxia can activate her Shining Form through the scene displayed on the Sky Screen in half a month, then she may be able to activate her Shining Form now in the same way.

The standard answer has already been given to you, so there's obviously no need to bother thinking of a new one.

And it's also prone to problems.

But... Xiao Bai have a question about this:

"Are you sure Xiaoxia will listen to you and not watch the Sky Screen or episodes five and six?"

Chen Xiaoxia might be able to resist looking at the Sky Screen, but as long as she's locked in a windowless room, she won't be able to hear the sounds from the Sky Screen, even if Chen Xiaoxia wanted to.

To hear the sounds from the Sky Screen, a prerequisite is that you must look at the Sky Screen.

If you could hear sounds from the Sky Screen so easily, then this time of day would probably be the noisiest time in the world.

But while we can guarantee that Chen Xiaoxia won't look at the Sky Screen, we can't guarantee that she won't go online.

With the popularity of "Magic Autumn" at an all-time high, even clicking on a random link could lead to news related to "Magic Autumn".

Unless Chen Xiaoxia is completely disconnected from the internet, she will definitely see the news about episodes four and five.

But Xiao Chun has a solution to this.

"I told Xiaoxia that if she wants to activate her Shining Form, she has to listen to me and not look at the Sky Screen for the next few days until she activates her Shining Form."

Xiao Chun shared her solution.
