"What are you talking about? Magical girl?"

Holding a specially designed communication device, the black-robed man with a small braid frowned and said in an unfriendly tone, "I think I need to remind you to make your rigid brain work properly: there's a barrier set up outside now, there's no way a magical girl could break in. Or are you saying that it's that blue brat who's suspected to be at the Leaf Rank? Do you think she could possibly be here?"

After he finished speaking, the voice on the other end of the call buzzed for a moment, which made him even more surprised. "A magical girl emerged from inside the barrier? You mean, you saw Fairy? Why are there Fairy here?"

As the other party continued speaking, his expression grew increasingly gloomy, and his grip on the communicator tightened. Finally, as if he could no longer bear to listen, he hung up the call.

He put the communicator inside his black robe and began pacing back and forth, looking rather agitated.

He seemed to be trying hard to stay calm, but he couldn't maintain his composure. The news he received on the phone made him uneasy, and after a moment, he finally punched the wall next to him.

"The designated Sacrificial Child has turned into a magical girl? This is no laughing matter."

He stared wide-eyed, head bowed, muttering to himself in a low voice.

After pausing for a moment and calming down a bit, he beckoned to the men in black robes at the door and pointed to the desk behind him, saying, "You few, come in and keep an eye on Ms. Liu. Make sure she doesn't do anything that would be detrimental to everyone."

After speaking, he glanced back at Liu Wenqin to make sure she didn't make any unnecessary moves before walking quickly out of the office with a sullen face and the others.

Now that he knew the location of his destination—the one-eyed girl—there was no need for him to stay here and argue with Liu Wenqin.

As for supervising the other party, just leave that to your subordinates.

Bai Jingxuan became a magical girl.

In a moment of desperation, she expressed her determination to Moko and picked up the Heart Seed. After a simple lesson, although she was still a little confused, she managed to successfully transform.

Her assigned codename was "Bo Xue".

After successfully acquiring the magical girl's power, she rushed to the floor where the magical energy was most intense and found Tian Sheng, who was fighting a desperate battle with the enemy.

Seeing that Tian Sheng was already at a complete disadvantage and might even lose his life if she waited any longer, she intervened in the battle without hesitation.

Even though this was her first time encountering the so-called Magic Side of her life.

The power of magical girls is akin to a dimensional reduction attack for Mage in the Material Realm. Whether it's the total amount or quality of their magic power, or even their physical attributes after transformation, they far surpass ordinary humans.

The three stages of Mage's power are: Peering Stage, contact, and Control Stage. Each stage represents a leap forward in Mage. However, even becoming the highest-level Controller Stage is still no match for a magical girl.

Therefore, once Bai Jingxuan joined the battle, there was no other outcome to the fight.

The two men in black robes possessed a wide variety of Spell Formula, and according to Tian Sheng's estimation, they were both experts at the Contact Stage level. In addition to various energy-based and basic Spell Formula, they had even prepared mental Spell Formula that directly targeted the soul, but none of these were meaningful to Bai Jingxuan, who had already become a magical girl.

The difference between absolute magic and soul power cannot be bridged by any technique.

As a magical girl who had just been born a few minutes ago, Bai Jingxuan hadn't even mastered the four basic abilities of the seed level, and didn't even have a complete concept of the range of her abilities. Let alone precisely adjusting and using her abilities, it was already a sign of rapid mastery that she could use them well.

When she tried to gather her magic and unleash it in an attack, she completely lost control. The magic had barely gathered at the tip of her wand when it instantly scattered and exploded into a light green magical firework.

Even so, when she roughly released a large amount of magic power in all directions, it created an effect like a disruptive wave: using magic power far exceeding that of the opponent to completely dissipate the structure of the Spell Formula and eliminate it without a trace.

This left the men in black robes momentarily stunned.

Bai Jingxuan's mind worked quickly. Realizing she wasn't good at using magic-related abilities, she simply abandoned them. She raised her wand and used close combat to knock out several black-robed men, thus easily ending the battle.

After defeating the enemy and rescuing Tian Sheng, the tense situation finally eased somewhat.

Of course, having only dealt with a few men in black robes, the crisis is far from over.

After a short rest and discussion, Tian Sheng took the initiative to suggest that the two of them and the demon turn around and head towards the outskirts of the orphanage.

According to Tian Sheng, the most urgent task now is to remove the outer barriers, open up escape routes, obtain timely external assistance, and prepare for the next step of rescuing the people inside the compound.

He knew the basic principles of the barrier Spell Formula; previously, they couldn't pass through simply because of insufficient magic power. But now it was different; they had a powerful source of magic power—a magical girl.

With him identifying the breakthrough point and Bai Jingxuan outputting her magic, there is a high probability that the barrier will be broken.

Only,

"Ahem... Bai Jingxuan, you are Bai Jingxuan, right?"

While flying through the air with Bai Jingxuan, Tian Sheng clutched his stomach and asked, "What happened after you escaped? Why did you turn into a magical girl?"

Even until he uttered the word himself, he still found it somewhat unbelievable.

For the vast majority of Mage, the term "magical girl" is like a mountain weighing down on their heads, one that they can never overcome in their entire lives.

After all, compared to the power of magical girls, their efforts seem like a joke.

Spending ten or even decades painstakingly increasing magical power and researching Spell Formula, one can still not compare to even the weakest magical girl. Anyone who knows this will inevitably feel envy or jealousy, followed by a deep sense of powerlessness.

The Magic Kingdom has very specific criteria for selecting magical girls. The Fairy seek out girls who are exceptionally talented in both magic and soul, and who are even quite capable of becoming Mage.

Their already extraordinary magical talent, combined with the superhuman magical power brought by the Heart Seed, ultimately created the magical girl, a Magic Side profession that crushes Mage in every dimension.

The only thing that could give the Mage some peace of mind was that if their numbers were small, magical girls were even rarer, and they mostly stayed within the circles of the Magic Kingdom, rarely having direct contact with Mage.

Treating them as outside the norm, or even as if they don't exist, is the attitude of most Mage towards magical girls.

Now, Tian Sheng has met a magical girl in person, and what's even more amazing is that she turns out to be someone he knew before.

The thought that Bai Jingxuan was once a child who needed his help, and then suddenly transformed into a magical girl whose strength far surpassed his own and who could even instantly kill enemies, made him feel somewhat complicated.
