After Making Enemies of Magical Girls, They Started Chasing Me Instead

After locking the door to the room, Ling Feng could not help but shiver.

"Probably some Astral Mark Girl you beat up."

Transfer Student? Magical Girl?

By the afternoon, Ling Feng and the others continued their part-time job at the café. It was the same on both Saturday and Sunday.

This should have been Ling Feng's pleasant time to relax, but unfortunately, as time passed, she gradually became numb to it. Simply put, she had gotten used to it.

"Finally back to normal."

Lying on the bed, Ling Feng sighed repeatedly. This time, a single voice-changing pill had lasted for two whole days, something that had never happened before.

She still had school tomorrow. If she was still like this, Ling Feng would rather die. Final exams were approaching, and if she skipped class or had someone attend in her place, her homeroom teacher would definitely kill her!

Ling Xiaoyu did not seem worried that Ling Feng would suspect anything. Any normal person would find something as absurd as a voice-changing pill strange, right?

In fact, Ling Xiaoyu had only become more excessive because she had noticed how calm Ling Feng was. Earlier, when Ling Feng told her that his deskmate was a Magical Girl, Ling Xiaoyu truly did not know whether to worry or be happy.

For Ling Feng's safety, Ling Xiaoyu did not want him getting involved in those conflicts. But she never could have imagined that her younger brother, who went to and from school like any ordinary student, was actually an Astral Mark Girl!

Early the next morning, Ling Feng went to sell tea eggs as usual. Life had to go on, after all. If she wanted to have fun during the Spring Festival, would she not need to save up more money? Thinking of how Ling Xiaoyu would deduct her share again, there would barely be anything left.

"Is she really my biological sister?"

"Xiaofeng? Why didn't you come yesterday? Why was it replaced by a little girl?" The moment Old Wang saw Ling Feng, he asked.

"Huh? I had something to do yesterday and couldn't come, so I asked my cousin, who recently came to Linzhou City for a visit, to help out."

Ling Feng smoothly came up with an excuse and chatted with Old Wang for a few more minutes.

There were now people constantly passing through the intersection, most of them office workers and students. Ling Feng was also preparing to pack up and head to school.

After serving the last customer, Ling Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. When that customer had walked several meters away, a distant voice drifted over.

"Hey, why isn't it that little girl from yesterday? What a letdown."

"Damn it." Ling Feng stumbled upon hearing that and nearly fell over.

Sitting in the corner of the classroom, Ling Feng conscientiously reviewed her textbooks, while most of the others chatted about amusing things from the weekend.

Hearing several girls standing not far ahead discussing magic and points, Ling Feng poked her head up slightly before lowering it again. She was no longer surprised by such things.

"Brother Xiaofeng, didn't you go out and have fun with Zhao Ping and Yuwen over the weekend?"

"Couldn't help it. I had something I couldn't get away from."

"What could make you give up gaming?"

"Cross-dressing."

"..."

The person talking to Ling Feng was Zhao Lei, who sat in front of her. He was rather fat, and everyone usually called him Zhao Big Fatty. He had been one of Ling Feng's closest friends since middle school. He was honest and good-natured, though not exactly well-behaved.

Zhao Lei barely believed a word Ling Feng said. After they chatted casually for a while longer, the class bell rang.

Zhao Lei had originally wanted to confirm with Ling Feng where they would go during the Spring Festival break, but in the end, he could only sigh and turn around resentfully. Damn this class bell.

As the bell ended, Tang Ling returned to her seat. Upon seeing Ling Feng, Tang Ling gave a wicked smile. No one knew what she was thinking, but Ling Feng knew it definitely was not anything good.

The homeroom teacher entered the classroom, briefly swept her gaze around, and only began speaking after confirming everyone was present.

"Students, a new classmate has joined our class today. Everyone should get along well from now on. Xiaohua, come in and introduce yourself to everyone first."

After saying that, the homeroom teacher looked toward the door, while the students below the podium had already broken into excited discussion.

"A new student when finals are so close?"

"Do you think it's a boy or a girl? If it's a girl, is she pretty?"

Amid the students' discussions, a girl about five feet tall slowly walked into the classroom.

Ling Feng did not know what was going on, but the girl wore a confident smile. She had on a green dress and wore her hair in a single ponytail.

The girl had fair skin, light-colored brows, pale red lips, and her bright eyes seemed to carry an inexplicable pride.

She first swept her gaze over the entire class, then her eyes landed on Ling Feng beside Tang Ling. Ling Feng's heart tightened in fright, as though the girl were saying that she knew her secret.

The girl quickly walked onto the podium, then began her introduction amid the homeroom teacher's and students' astonished, puzzled, and barely suppressed laughter.

"Hello, everyone. My name is Tang Xiaohua. I'm a transfer student from Tiannan High School and Tang Ling's cousin. I am a Magical Girl, and my sister is also a Magical Girl. We are both here to protect the love and peace of this world!"

What was with saying all that with such a proud expression? Ling Feng was utterly stunned.

This Place Is Too Deep for You to Handle

"Magical Girl?"

If there was one topic that had been the hottest lately, it was undoubtedly Magical Girls. Nowadays, Magical Girls could be seen among idol celebrities and idol singers alike.

Legend had it that they really could use magic. Once the girl finished speaking, the classroom immediately filled with scoffs and murmurs.

Most people did not take it seriously, thinking the girl was merely joking. Yet some wore grave expressions, uncertain and unsettled.

That included the boy who had seen a Magical Girl before. He had personally witnessed a Magical Girl flying over his house, and after hearing those words, he became even more convinced. The way he looked at Tang Xiaohua also grew more worshipful.

The homeroom teacher, Liu Yan, was only stunned for a moment before quickly recovering.

"Our new student's introduction certainly has personality. Go find any open seat and sit down first."

Tang Xiaohua walked toward Tang Ling, then finally sat in the empty seat beside Zhao Lei. Zhao Lei had been delighted to have a beautiful girl as his deskmate, but Tang Xiaohua's next sentence left him completely dumbfounded.

"Dead fatty, don't sit too close. Before you stands a noble mage. If my sister weren't here, did you really think you were worthy of sitting beside this Magical Girl?"

Tang Xiaohua was originally Tang Ling's cousin, so Ling Feng did not pay much attention to that. Instead, Tang Xiaohua turned directly toward Ling Feng and gave her a warning.

"Classmate, don't think being a little handsome means you can chase my sister. My sister is a great Magical Girl. She is destined to save the world with people like me. These waters are too deep for you to handle, so take my advice and know your place."

"Huh?" Ling Feng was completely baffled and had no idea what Tang Xiaohua was talking about.

"Hmph. Don't play dumb, or I'll let you witness great magic."

Although Ling Feng still looked utterly confused, Tang Ling beside her was already covering her mouth and laughing.

Faced with such an unprovoked warning, Ling Feng felt rather unhappy.

What did she mean by chasing her sister? Her sister might be pretty, but she was not Ling Feng's type. A great mage? Ling Feng was a great Astral Mark Executor herself!

Although Ling Feng was indignant inside, she did not show anything on her face. Instead, she smiled calmly.

"Classmate Tang Xiaohua, you're really overthinking it. We have no relationship whatsoever."

"Hmph. It'd better be that way."

Class still had to continue. The homeroom teacher soon began arranging the upcoming lessons, but after hearing what Ling Feng had just said, Tang Ling felt a little uncomfortable as well. They clearly did have a deal, okay?

During break, Zhao Lei began worrying about Ling Feng. He himself found it extremely regrettable. He had finally gotten a deskmate, and she was even a beauty, but unfortunately, she had chuunibyou syndrome.

Although he warned Ling Feng to be careful around her in the future, Ling Feng did not care. What, was Tang Xiaohua going to transform into a Magical Girl and beat someone up in public?

As soon as the break bell rang, Tang Xiaohua was surrounded by her classmates.

"Classmate Xiaohua, are you really a Magical Girl?"

"Classmate Xiaohua, I love Magical Girls the most! I'm your number one fan from now on!"

"Classmate Xiaohua, can you transform and show us? Let us see it with our own eyes."

All kinds of voices rose and fell, full of excitement and cheers. As Tang Xiaohua received her classmates' admiration, she began to look smug and proudly took out her transformation key to wave it around.

She explained the purpose of the key necklace. During it, she smugly glanced at Ling Feng, her gaze seeming to say—

Look, this is something only great Magical Girls possess. You're just an ordinary mortal, so know your place.

"Tsk." Ling Feng nearly could not hold herself back from acting, but she knew it was only because, as an Astral Mark Girl, she instinctively felt hostility toward Magical Girls. She quickly calmed down again.

Seeing Ling Feng make no move at all, Tang Xiaohua felt slightly dissatisfied. Still, she kept smiling and continued talking with the others.

"Transforming is possible, I suppose. Let you mortals witness a Magical Girl blessed with both cuteness and wisdom."

That's Right, I'm a Magical Girl!

The surrounding students all turned to look at the girl after hearing that.

They were all quite curious, after all. The whole internet had been spreading rumors about whether Magical Girls were real, and the trend had only intensified, causing many people to waver.

But before seeing one for themselves, most people did not believe it. The boy who had seen a Magical Girl before had his heart in his throat, and he did not want to take his eyes off Tang Xiaohua for even a moment.

Earlier, Tang Xiaohua had said that Tang Ling was also a Magical Girl, so the classmates' view of Tang Ling changed as well.

Class monitor Liu Yinxuan and vice class monitor Lan Yuxin had originally been maintaining order. Upon hearing this, they became nervous too, afraid Tang Xiaohua would truly transform on the spot.

Liu Yinxuan signaled Tang Ling with her eyes, telling her to keep an eye on her cousin.

Tang Ling nodded slightly. She still believed Tang Xiaohua knew where to draw the line.

If Tang Xiaohua truly revealed everything, the entire school would probably be turned upside down. It might even shock the whole country, and she could be captured for human experimentation! At that point, it would no longer be something Tang Ling could control.

Knowing this, Tang Ling smiled in relief. Then, the very first thing Tang Xiaohua said in the next second left her stunned. Not only her, but Lan Xinyu, Liu Yinxuan, and the other Magical Girls hidden in the class were equally shocked.

Ling Feng also stared over in astonishment. The meaning in her eyes was obvious. You don't seriously plan to transform in public, do you?

Tang Xiaohua brought her hands together, and the key on her necklace shone with dazzling light as it floated in the air between them. That alone had already shocked the entire class.

"O key that holds the power of darkness..."

Tang Xiaohua closed her eyes slightly, and the necklace's glow became even more brilliant.

"Reveal your true power before me. I now command you in the name of your master..."

"Bang!" Before she could finish, Tang Ling lunged over and tackled Tang Xiaohua to the floor. Even Tang Xiaohua herself was stunned.

"Big Sis?"

"You still know I'm your sister? Are you trying to get yourself killed? Don't you know the Magic Association's rules?"

"O-Okay."

The students were disappointed at first, but then the classroom erupted with excitement.

"Magical Girls are awesome!"

"Awesome, sis!"

"And Tang Ling too! Let us finish watching! Don't be so stingy!"

"Just that move from earlier is enough for me to believe you're a Magical Girl."

All sorts of discussions sprang up one after another. Tang Xiaohua had still been feeling confused, but now she was beaming again.

"That's right, that's right. This lady is a proud and proper Magical Girl."

Ling Feng sat there blankly, while Zhao Lei in front of her had long since gone wide-eyed. He could hardly believe what he had seen, but when Tang Xiaohua made an apparently ordinary, if somewhat fancy, necklace glow and float in midair, his last remaining doubts were instantly shattered.

At that moment, Qiu Yun'er entered through the back door. She also noticed the group of people gathered over there, but she paid them no attention and walked straight to Ling Feng.

Normally, whenever she entered the classroom, the students would immediately start talking. Qiu Yun'er was the belle of the neighboring class, and someone as stunning as her would naturally draw attention. Yet today, no one noticed her at all.

But that was fine. It suited her perfectly, since she could have a proper chat with Ling Feng.

If this continued, the people in Qiu Yun'er's class would soon be unable to hold themselves back from charging over to start a fight. The reason was actually that someone from this class had dared to steal their class belle away?

Standing beside Ling Feng, Qiu Yun'er saw her sitting there blankly and asked.

"What's going on over there?"

Duel!!!

Hearing the voice, Ling Feng could not even be bothered to lift her head. She had already identified who it was from the voice, then leisurely began explaining.

"Oh, that? She's a new transfer student in our class. She says she's a Magical Girl. Just now, she even gave us a demonstration and was about to transform."

Ling Feng continued as though she did not care. "The people gathered around her have all seen her magic already. She's so amazing. I never thought magic really existed in this world. If only I could use magic too."

Toward the end, Ling Feng deliberately added a hint of excited envy to her tone. If she acted too calm, Qiu Yun'er might suspect something.

Hearing that, Qiu Yun'er frowned slightly. Magical Girls were all enemies!
