• The enraged Monster enlarges its arm and attacks, but Zhou Mo overpowers it again. She then overwhelms it with a relentless barrage of punches.

• Training begins: At an abandoned construction site, Xia Ya officially starts training Zhou Mo in idol performance while Zhou Mo is in her Molis form. Xia Ya corrects her posture and movements with great seriousness, putting Zhou Mo through two exhausting hours of practice. Zhou Mo privately feels the training is even more tiring than fighting monsters.
• Followers and financial rewards: During their break, Xia Ya tells Zhou Mo that Molis’s social-media account has surpassed 10,000 followers—a milestone Xia Ya once celebrated for days. Zhou Mo initially reacts indifferently because she has not yet developed an emotional connection to her short magical-girl career or the meaning of her follower count. However, when Rabi informs her that 24,000 yuan from monster-subjugation rewards and livestream earnings has been transferred to her account, Zhou Mo immediately becomes ecstatic, revealing that financial success matters far more to her at this point.
• A celebratory invitation: Happy for Zhou Mo, Xia Ya suggests they celebrate the follower milestone by going out for good food over the weekend.

Xia Ya affectionately comments that Molis looks adorable, making Zhou Mo embarrassed enough to cough and change back into her combat outfit.
• Discovery of Zhou Mo’s second form: Xia Ya recalls Har’s instruction to ask about Molis’s alternate form. Zhou Mo demonstrates her Red Form, casually explaining that she can switch forms simply by thinking about it and that she sensed the form while preparing to summon her Magic Armament.

• Xia Ya characterizes them as a “burst type” and an “endurance type.” She also jokingly asks whether Zhou Mo can grow into a giant, prompting Zhou Mo to deny being a “Giant of Light.”
