My Girlfriend Is a Magical Girl! Chapter 30

There's a female hooligan!

Lu Ming waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it. Give me the jacket."

Meng Xuan handed the jacket to Lu Ming. He tried it on and found that his arm was too thick to shove into it. If he forced it, he felt like he might tear it.

His arm wouldn't fit into the sleeve.

Meng Xuan thought for a moment, then went to chat with some other female students by the school gate. Before long, she borrowed a jacket with a smile, handed it to Lu Ming, and went home first.

Lu Annuan explained, "Meng Xuan is really popular at school. She can strike up a conversation with anyone."

So she was the kind of girl everyone liked, with that hidden public-use attribute.

In other words, everyone's friend, right?

I completely understand now.

Can I use her... no, can she be my friend too?

After changing into the International Middle School uniform, Lu Ming entered the school with Lu Annuan. It was his first time here, and he looked around with curiosity. The International Middle School even had a figure-skating rink, with the indoor temperature kept below fifteen degrees Celsius.

Ordinary International Middle School students weren't allowed to casually wander into this venue, but Lu Ming had an acquaintance's introduction, so no one stopped him.

Lu Annuan changed into her figure-skating training outfit. Her skirt was pure white from top to bottom, making her look like a noble and elegant white swan.

Lu Ming looked around. Great—he was the only male in the venue. The coach was a woman, and all the other team members were women too. No other boys got the chance to feast their eyes.

Very much in line with core values.

And Lu Annuan's legs really were absurdly long and pale. Even models probably didn't have a figure as good as hers.

Lu Ming sat beside the rink while Lu Annuan went onto the ice to practice. There were several other students practicing figure skating as well. If not for the magical world of Magical Girls, he would never have seen a scene like this.

On normal Earth, it should have been—get your asses back to the classroom and study!!

After watching for a while, Lu Ming noticed something strange. Lu Annuan seemed never to interact with the other students. The other girls occasionally talked to each other, but Lu Annuan alone seemed separated from them by a thick wall.

They were practically one step away from kowtowing to Lu Annuan.

Wait, they weren't going to make me kowtow too, were they?

Lu Ming heard the female students resting nearby talking.

"Lu Annuan feels really hard to approach."

"I know, right? She's the national champion, isn't she? It feels like she might look down on us."

"Huang Yingman, our school's second seed, hasn't spoken to her either."

"And I heard she has a boyfriend who can make three-pointers from eighty meters away."

Why were these rumors getting so ridiculous?

Do I look like the Eight-Armed Arhat to you?

Don't leave. I'll come ask you for a title later.

Lu Ming watched Lu Annuan glide elegantly across the ice. Whatever else, she really was good at skating. He just couldn't understand much of it and kept looking at her legs.

Lu Ming, Lu Ming, how could you be so vulgar and depraved? Lu Annuan was merely a pretty childhood friend...

Look at her legs.

Lu Ming noticed a box of water nearby. It was probably for the figure-skating students to drink.

Just then, a female figure-skating student came over to rest. She picked up a bottle of water, twisted it open, and was about to drink when Lu Ming suddenly reached out and took it away.

"Wait, don't drink that yet," Lu Ming said.

The girl froze. She didn't know who Lu Ming was, and somewhat bewildered and frightened, she turned toward the coach for guidance.

The International Middle School coach had once been a famous figure skater herself. Lu Ming had heard that she had even won an Olympic medal, or International Middle School would not have invited her to be their coach.

The young female coach looked imposing. She walked over, frowned, and examined Lu Ming. "Who are you?"

Was he another boy who had sneaked in to watch the girls practice?

It looked like she needed to go slam her hand on the principal's desk again!

If boys dared sneak in to peep at practice again, she would break their legs!

The female coach frowned.

Lu Annuan had been watching Lu Ming's side while practicing. Seeing that something was wrong, she hurried over. "Coach, Lu Ming... he's my friend."

The female coach frowned at Lu Annuan. "Your results are good, but how could you bring your boyfriend here too? So many athletes become more and more lax because of this. You earned your starting position yourself. Don't drag yourself into the abyss."

Lu Annuan hurriedly waved her hands, about to explain, but Lu Ming interrupted.

He didn't care about what the coach had said. He only stared at the bottle in his hand before handing it to her. "Check the expiration date."

Half suspicious, the female coach took it and glanced at it. "The expiration date is... five years ago?"

Water wouldn't expire, but the bottle would.

Who knew what adverse reactions could come from drinking expired water? In any case, it definitely wasn't good for athletes!

"Who was responsible for the water today?" The female coach turned toward the figure-skating students and shouted.

One girl tremblingly raised her hand. "Sorry, Coach. I got lazy and didn't go to the teaching building to get water. I took it from the supply room. I thought it was drinkable."

The female coach's face darkened. "Double your basic-movement training."

"Yes!"

The female coach looked at Lu Ming, and her tone softened considerably. "Thanks to you for noticing. I'll thank you on behalf of my team."

It was nothing. He had simply noticed the black light flashing inside the bottle.

Lu Ming had thought he would see things glowing with golden light everywhere at International Middle School, but he hadn't seen any along the way. It seemed Ran Yanyue was one of a kind no matter where she was.

Could Haiyang be surnamed Ran?

"Still, don't bring your boyfriend here again in the future." The female coach looked at Lu Annuan and said gently, "You have a very broad future ahead of you. I've always believed in you."

The world belongs to you as well as us, but ultimately, it belongs to you.

Damn it, I'm getting fired up.

After that, Lu Ming felt that the surrounding female students were looking at him with much more curiosity and friendliness.

Who would have thought that, as a student from Haiyang No. 2 Middle School, I'd accidentally become the object of curiosity for the girls at International Middle School?

Wasn't this also a kind of...

But don't go falling for me.

The female coach kept urging Lu Annuan to practice. Lu Ming watched her serious expression as beads of sweat slid down her face to her neck. A glistening layer of sweat rose and fell slightly with her breathing, making her skin look even whiter.

So sexy.

The healthy kind of sexy.

He swallowed.

"I know what you're thinking." The female coach walked over to Lu Ming.

"Ah, was I not supposed to think that?" Lu Ming apologized.

My thoughts were a little vulgar.

"It's fine. I was thinking the same thing." The female coach said, "She really does practice seriously and diligently."

Oh, you meant that. I thought you meant the other thing.

The female coach looked at Lu Ming. "Sometimes, she tells me why she practices figure skating. She said that when she was little, a close childhood friend watched other girls at the roller rink, and she felt really unhappy. She thought that if she skated better, maybe that boy would keep watching only her. That's why she has always trained so hard."

Who the hell was this boy?!

Oh, oh, it was me.

That happened so long ago. Why did she still remember it?

Was there really such a silly girl?

Lu Ming looked at Lu Annuan on the ice rink, thought for a moment, and asked the female coach, "Can I try it too?"

The female coach raised an eyebrow and laughed heartily. "Practice is ending for today anyway. Just don't hurt yourself."

Lu Ming nodded, changed into ice skates, and took off his jacket, revealing the red-and-white Haiyang No. 2 Middle School uniform underneath.

"..."

The female coach and students nearby immediately opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The enemy, the enemy had invaded!

No, it was the opposing army...

No, that wasn't it either. Anyway, a student from the rival school had infiltrated!

Although Haiyang No. 2 Middle School and Dongming International School were sister schools on the surface, both students and teachers knew that the two schools were secretly competing. Last time, the principal of Haiyang No. 2 Middle School had "accidentally" put up a banner praising a male student for courageously doing the right thing, leaving the Dongming International School principal silent for an entire week.

And now, a student from Haiyang No. 2 Middle School had actually snuck in.

This was practically International Middle School's Sarajevo Incident!

"Ahem, just pretend you didn't see him." The female coach awkwardly told the students.

She had thought he was an International Middle School student. She had even questioned him so aggressively just now. It turned out he was from another school, and he had even casually helped them out.

Lu Ming didn't notice what they were saying. Stepping onto the ice for the first time in his life, he immediately felt that it was very different from roller skating.

If he had to put it into words, he could only use a certain streamer's classic exclamation—

Holy shit, ice!!

Lu Ming tried skating around. Perhaps his +6 physique and concentration were taking effect. After a few clumsy glides, he quickly got the hang of it.

"He's pretty talented." The female coach and students said from the edge of the rink. Lu Ming's stumbling movements clearly showed he was a beginner, but adapting so quickly was impressive.

Lu Annuan also saw Lu Ming take to the ice. Her expression showed some surprise. Then, after thinking for a moment, the corner of her lips curved slightly. Wanting to show off to Lu Ming and filled with anticipation, she took a long backward glide on her left back outside edge, approached the corner of the rink in a broad arc, leaped lightly like an elf with her right arm swinging back, tapped the ice with her right toe, spun twice, and landed with a crisp tap before gliding away.

A perfect and elegant Hook Jump, also called a Lutz Jump.

Lu Annuan pursed her lips and hummed as she looked at Lu Ming.

Well?

"Lu Annuan, what if you got hurt?!"

Hearing the coach's scolding, Lu Annuan immediately shrank her head and smiled awkwardly.

Lu Ming watched Lu Annuan's movements and knew how much sweat she had poured into mastering them. She wanted to show off in front of him, just like a child sharing her favorite snack.

The female coach was angry. She understood that Lu Annuan wanted to show off in front of her boyfriend, but what if she injured her ankle? Sure enough, she shouldn't let Lu Ming come again next time.

As she thought that, she suddenly saw Lu Ming trying to skate on the ice. His movements were extremely awkward and far from graceful. She watched as he imitated Lu Annuan and jumped into the air, spinning... he was spinning?!

Lu Ming performed a triple jump in the air, then landed and stopped sharply as though slamming on the brakes, seemingly dissatisfied.

The female coach and the students beside her were all dumbfounded.

Lu Ming... was a beginner, right?

Lu Ming returned to the edge of the rink, ready to go home with Lu Annuan. As soon as he got there, he saw the female coach and the others swarming around him.

"Is this your first time practicing figure skating?" The female coach looked at Lu Ming with unprecedented seriousness.

"Not... not exactly," Lu Ming said, confused.

The female coach sighed in relief. If it had been his first time, her worldview would have collapsed. So he had practiced before...

"When I was in first grade, I won my school's roller-skating championship. The prize was a little red flower." Lu Ming explained, puffing out his chest slightly with pride.

"That doesn't count as figure-skating experience at all!" The female coach was furious.

A little red flower?

To hell with your little red flower!

The female coach looked at Lu Ming as if he were a monster. After thinking for a moment, she lifted the hem of his uniform and saw his healthy, perfect body.

His muscle lines were distinct without being bulky, with both aesthetics and practicality maxed out!
