My Girlfriend Is a Magical Girl!

Can you show a little class?

Haiyang No. 2 Middle School's standards were worrying.

"Everyone, stay quiet and watch the game," Tang Zhiqing said to her classmates with a smile.

Her words carried weight, and the hot-blooded high school boys immediately quieted down.

Such was the authority of the Student Council president.

Ran Yanyue glanced at Tang Zhiqing and snorted before looking back at Lu Ming. She was worried Lu Ming would get crushed too badly. After all, everyone knew Cao Guang's basketball skills were among the best in the school.

If he lost in front of so many people, wouldn't he be devastated?

Ran Yanyue slowly furrowed her lovely brows as she watched Lu Ming.

"Again."

Lu Ming spoke as he got ready. Cao Guang attacked again, but Lu Ming stole the basketball with a touch of his hand, stepped beyond the three-point line, and sank the shot. His movements were so smooth that it felt like a scene from a movie.

It was not until Lu Ming's heels touched the ground that the people around them reacted.

You can cheer now.

After a moment of silence, someone from Class One suddenly cried out, "Blessed by Fortune—it's the Blessed by Fortune Gu!"

They still could not believe Lu Ming had suddenly evolved.

Fortune my ass!

Did I win by luck?!

That was the result of my focus and physical condition.

Lu Ming nearly spat blood. Forget it, forget it. He would not lower himself to the level of these ordinary mortals.

Cao Guang was also shocked by Lu Ming's extraordinary performance. Just now, he had collided with Lu Ming, and Lu Ming... had been as steady as a mountain!

It felt like his shoulder had almost been dislocated. Was this guy even human?!

Cao Guang soon spotted Ran Yanyue nearby, and his resentment deepened. He had actually become Lu Ming's stepping stone.

The one-on-one continued!

Fifteen minutes later, Lu Ming had single-handedly defeated Cao Guang!

The Class One students nearby had also gone quiet. Was Lu Ming even human?

They had never seen someone with such stable footing.

Lu Ming really was steady down there.

"Lu Ming, you didn't pull any tricks, did you?" A student from the school team frowned. He still could not believe Lu Ming had won.

His tone was a little aggressive, and the atmosphere immediately fell silent.

The silence was abrupt and frightening.

Everyone had wanted to see Lu Ming make a fool of himself, but it had all been in good fun. Once that student said it aloud, though, things changed. One wrong move and a fight could break out.

"Go back and sit properly!" Tang Zhiqing shouted with a frown. "The teacher and I were watching right beside you. Are you saying neither of us could tell who committed a foul?"

She usually wore a warm, approachable smile, but when she got angry, her cold expression made her look like Acala himself. It was enough to make high school students tremble in fear. Ran Yanyue was also annoyed by those words, and under the stares of the two girls, the school team boy's legs shook as he sat down.

"Neither side committed a foul," the PE teacher immediately said as well. From his neutral perspective as a teacher, he favored neither student.

"Give Lu Ming a round of applause, and give Cao Guang one too." Tang Zhiqing glanced around and smiled at her classmates. They clapped reluctantly.

Everyone could more or less tell that she favored Lu Ming.

But there was nothing they could do. Who at Haiyang No. 2 Middle School did not know that Lu Ming was the adopted son Student Council president Tang Zhiqing cherished most?

Cao Guang sighed at Lu Ming. "From now on... I'll leave it to you."

Old Guang, why did you sound like you were entrusting an orphan at Baidi City?

Who were you entrusting to me?

A-Dou?

A genderbent A-Dou?

"Here, water." As his classmate, Ran Yanyue handed Lu Ming a bottle of water, though her face remained cold.

There were three great pleasures in high school: getting full marks on a test, receiving water from a beautiful girl, and eating instant noodles late at night.

And when a beautiful girl like Ran Yanyue handed him water, the pleasure tripled instantly.

What kind of delusion was that?

"Have you drunk from it?" Lu Ming took the bottle and examined its mouth. There was no beautiful girl's saliva on it.

"I often wonder how someone can receive an education and still have no manners. I think I've learned the answer now," Ran Yanyue said.

That was a little sharp-tongued.

Weren't sharp-tongued beautiful girls supposed to exist only in anime?

I'm hurt.

Lu Ming drank without ceremony. He and Ran Yanyue had sat at the same desk for months. This much damage was merely a scratch to him; if he had really taken it to heart, he would have been down to a sliver of health long ago.

"But why did Cao Guang want to compete with you?" Ran Yanyue asked.

"Did he come looking for you this morning?" Lu Ming thought for a moment before asking.

"I don't know. I was writing your name at the time and didn't notice," Ran Yanyue said. She had never cared much about other people.

No wonder.

Old Guang, this time it was my fault.

Ran Yanyue and I really are innocent. When her Acup was usually sitting in the seat beside me, I even thought it was her back when she turned around.

After PE class ended, Lu Ming returned to the classroom to rest. He had sweated quite a bit after playing basketball, and Ran Yanyue, who was sitting beside him reading an extracurricular classic, frowned and covered her nose with her hand. "Wipe off your sweat."

"I am wiping it," Lu Ming said. "But the sweat won't stop that quickly. I can't reach my back."

The next class was with their new English teacher. As the class's study representative, Ran Yanyue did not want to leave a bad impression on the new teacher. "I'll wipe it for you. Hurry up and stop sweating."

"Yes, milady. Under your command, even the sun would immediately stop giving off light. It need not obey the laws of physics, because your orders come first. You are the supreme ruler, the triune holy maiden," Lu Ming said.

And Lu Ming was punished for criticizing Ran Yanyue to her face.

"Don't wipe so hard! It hurts, it hurts!"

Ran Yanyue remained expressionless.

I've learned my lesson. Please spare me.

As Ran Yanyue wiped his back, she could not help wondering whether all boys had such good bodies. So this was what muscles felt like. It was her first time touching them.

She became so absorbed in pressing against them that, after quite a while, she noticed the silence around her. The new English teacher standing beside her said awkwardly, "Student Ran, class has already started."

"...Okay."

Throughout the next class, Lu Ming could feel Ran Yanyue's murderous stare from beside him.

During the break, Lu Ming went to the Student Council room, where both Tang Zhiqing and Ran Yanyue were present.

"When did you start working out? Even the school team captain couldn't beat you." Tang Zhiqing looked at Lu Ming.

What, you covet my beautiful body too?

"I merely often see the sun at four in the morning in Haiyang," Lu Ming said modestly.

"Then I'll call you at four tomorrow morning." Tang Zhiqing did not indulge him.

"..."

Lu Ming asked Ran Yanyue, "Your family is well-informed. Do you know anything about Magical Girls?"

Ran Yanyue ignored him. She was still angry about what had happened earlier.

"The president asked me to gather information about Magical Girls for a lecture," Lu Ming had no choice but to explain.

Only then did Ran Yanyue say, "I don't usually have much contact with matters like that, so I don't know much. But I do remember one interesting thing clearly."

"I'm very curious!"

"Do you know about Star Bearers?" Ran Yanyue said as she organized the desk. "They are said to possess an exceptionally abundant magical constitution, but they are rare. Even among hundreds of millions of people, there might not be a single one. If one does appear, she will become an extremely powerful Magical Girl. For example, the capital's strongest Magical Girl, the Empress. She is the most famous Magical Girl to publicly appear in the media."

The strongest Magical Girl, the Empress?

But Lu Annuan would be the strongest in the future, right?

The strongest of the present versus the strongest of the future—which one would win?

Lu Ming began thinking about it, while Tang Zhiqing, seated nearby, added, "But if someone of any other gender possesses this constitution, it becomes a disaster."

How thorough of President Tang. She had even considered the other seventy-two genders.

Anyone who did not follow her into politics in the future would be in trouble.

"Why is it a disaster?"

"Star Bearers possess powerful magic, and to Evil Beasts, they are especially delicious food. Eating one makes them stronger. Evil organizations also seek out people with this constitution for experiments. Every so often, they use devices to scan for Star Bearers within a certain range. If one is discovered, it becomes dangerous. All they can do is pray that a Magical Girl is nearby." Tang Zhiqing smiled lightly.

Ran Yanyue nodded in agreement.

"This constitution is really unlucky," Lu Ming said.

Still, being able to get close to a Magical Girl did not sound so bad.

"Anything else?" Lu Ming looked at Ran Yanyue on the other side.

"That is all I know. Go look for the rest in the library yourself—try the modern history section," Ran Yanyue said.

"As expected of the study representative. You really know a lot," Lu Ming praised.

Ran Yanyue said blandly, "Those who know how to flatter are surely also skilled at slander."

She casually mocked Lu Ming in return for what he had said earlier.

"As expected of the study representative. You even remember Napoleon's famous words by heart," Lu Ming continued praising her.

His skin was thick. It did not matter.

"Flattering me won't help."

"Unaffected by external things, unmoved by personal gain or loss—Student Ran truly is our school's outstanding study representative. I propose that every member of the high school division learn from Student Ran!"

Ran Yanyue remained expressionless, but her pretty face seemed to redden slightly.

He was still praising her after she had mocked him.

Was Lu Ming an idiot?

Yet for some reason, Ran Yanyue felt much better.

"School's over, school's over. I'm leaving!" Lu Ming set off.

Ran Yanyue watched Lu Ming leave. From the window, she saw a sweet-looking beautiful girl speaking to him at the school gate. She recognized the girl, Lu Annuan. Ran Yanyue had won many national youth music awards, and she also knew of Lu Annuan, the beautiful figure skater from Haiyang.

Lu Annuan's chest was a little bigger than hers.

"Lu Ming knows her?" Ran Yanyue asked nonchalantly.

"They seem to be childhood friends." Tang Zhiqing quietly flipped through her book as she spoke.

"I see."

Neither of them spoke in the Student Council room.

"Why did you take so long to come out? I've been waiting for ages!" Lu Annuan said unhappily.

"Sorry, sorry. I had PE class and played a one-on-one game with someone."

"Did you win?" Lu Annuan asked curiously.

"Of course I won. Too bad I didn't record it to show you."

"Oh my, oh my, it's good that you won. Just as expected of my childhood friend!" Lu Annuan rose onto her tiptoes and patted Lu Ming's shoulder, smiling brightly. The spring sunlight fell upon her face, dazzlingly radiant and filled with warmth.

This girl would become the strongest Magical Girl for his sake in the future. Lu Ming watched Lu Annuan smile and thought to himself.

Oh my, oh my, seeing you this happy makes me happy too.
