My Girlfriend Is a Magical Girl!

Why were you reporting this to me?

We may be childhood sweethearts, but I don't provide sleeping-together services.

The cops' Spring Thunder operation has been really strict lately.

"Oh, oh, then hurry up and sleep. You have a heavy training schedule, so getting to bed early and resting would be better," Lu Ming replied.

Lu Annuan might have been a figure skating prodigy, but the hardship of her training was beyond what others could compare to.

Why should Lu Annuan's generation of hard work be worth more than three generations of other girls' upbringing combined?

Because Lu Ming had seen with his own eyes how the sweat from a single day of her efforts could fill a small bucket. After training, her legs shook so badly while she ate that she could barely sit still. Tears hung at the corners of her eyes, yet she held them back and refused to cry. What wealth and upbringing? Before true talent and virtues like diligence, they were all paper tigers!

No one had ever worked harder than Lu Annuan. Whether in elementary or middle school, she had been the smartest child and ranked first in her grade. Once she reached high school, she became a student athlete whose academics suffered for the sake of figure skating.

So when Lu Ming thought of some future timeline where Lu Annuan injured her legs so badly protecting him that she could no longer jump, he felt a little... sorry.

Lu Annuan returned home, propped her cheeks up with both hands as she thought about Lu Ming, then chuckled foolishly. She couldn't help recalling why she had started practicing figure skating in the first place.

Back in elementary school, their two families had gone to a skating rink in Haiyang City together. Lu Annuan had heard Lu Ming praise a girl on the rink for being really athletic.

Lu Annuan had thought Lu Ming was mocking her, because she always fell so hard at the rink that her butt got swollen. So when she got home, she told her mother she wanted to learn skating.

Children were just that impulsive. Lu Annuan couldn't help smiling.

Come to think of it, that athletic girl had seemed to be their age. Her name had been Tang something...

Her mother had said that girl's family ran a martial arts dojo, and she had come to Haiyang as a tourist.

But she had probably left Haiyang long ago.

The moonlight was cold and clear. Lu Ming lay awake in his bedroom. Since the system had warned him, that meant the incident in which Lu Annuan got hurt protecting him would happen soon.

Lu Annuan was terrible at hiding things. From the look on her face, Lu Ming guessed that he was probably Tang Sanzang—no, the legendary Star Bearer.

As long as they ate him, the Evil Beasts could obtain the Titan power inside him, perhaps even the Founding Power!

So I really can trigger the Rumbling!

No wonder I really became a great Demon King in the future!

"I can't sleep. I'll go downstairs and buy a bottle of cola." As Lu Ming headed out, he called through the door to ask whether Lu Annuan needed him to bring anything, like sanitary pads, but she didn't answer. She had probably fallen asleep.

Lu Ming had no choice.

A little story—when Lu Ming was young, he couldn't open the door from this side.

After all, it was locked.

Forget it, forget it. He'd just go down and buy it.

It was just that tonight's moonlight was a little too bright. Unnaturally bright.

Lion, dressed in a black suit, stood upright with his arms folded inside an abandoned building, gazing into the distance. A device behind him blinked on and off. No matter how one looked at him, he was a lion, yet he spoke in human words.

"Hehe, I didn't expect my luck to be this good. I actually found a Star Bearer in this city. That delicious magical power will definitely be a great tonic. Maybe I can evolve to King rank. This executive of the evil organization Death Spiral will finally rise in status again!"

"Even if I don't absorb his magical power, I can use him to make that thing. That newly appeared Magical Girl, Polaris, won't be my match either!"

With a grand wave of his hand, black ripples spread through the air around him. Several Evil Beasts emerged, roared, and leaped into the sky. Their target was Lu Ming, who had just walked out of the supermarket.

"A Star Bearer who can't use his own magical power is nothing but medicine. He's not like that Magical Girl in the capital." Lion bared his teeth and rubbed his head, entirely unconcerned about the Evil Beasts he had sent out.

A mere ordinary person only warranted one trash-tier Evil Beast. He had sent several only out of respect for the Magical Girl here.

It seemed the Magical Girl hadn't reacted in time.

Could an ordinary person possibly be stronger than a Magical Girl?

Now was the time to make a move!

Then... in the very next moment, Lion, the terrifying executive of an evil organization, saw a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life.

"...Huh?"

Lu Annuan had been dozing when her deer-form spirit, Xiaomi, anxiously woke her. She had done a bit too much physical training that day and was rather sleepy. On top of that, she had just eaten her fill, and drowsiness had overtaken her by accident. She hadn't expected to hear Xiaomi's urgent voice just after midnight.

"Annuan, wake up! I sense Evil Beasts nearby!"

Nearby? Then who else could their target be but Lu Ming? There couldn't possibly be such a coincidence!

A flash of light enveloped Lu Annuan, transforming her into the Magical Girl Polaris. Her pure white, dreamlike dress made her look holy, her hair turned crystalline silver, and wings adorned both sides of her shoes. With a light jump, she soared dozens of meters into the night sky. Her eyes moved, and she immediately spotted Lu Ming.

An Evil Beast beside him was leaping toward him.

There wasn't enough time!

Lu Annuan clenched her fists. She could only block the attack for Lu Ming with her own body.

It would hurt, but there was no time to think about that!

Her childhood sweetheart was more important!

But then she saw that Lu Ming wasn't afraid when the Evil Beast appeared. Instead, he stepped forward and threw a powerful punch. The air itself seemed compressed as his fist slammed directly into the Evil Beast's head, and then...

The Evil Beast's head slowly twisted.

As if it had been hit by a heavily loaded truck sprinting at a hundred kilometers per hour, the Evil Beast shot sideways like a rocket and crashed into an empty warehouse beside them.

The boom echoed through the night. Sensitive electric scooters within several kilometers sounded their "beep beep beep" alarms, yet the scene of the incident was incredibly quiet.

Then, Lu Annuan and Executive Lion clearly heard Lu Ming's voice.

"Oh my god, that scared me to death." Lu Ming was still shaken as he looked at the warehouse's smashed-open door. "Who lets their dog run around without a leash? Believe it or not, I'll report you to the cops!"

Executive Lion wanted to call the police too.

He stood silently in the street, staring at Lu Ming over ten meters away. He wasn't calm; he had simply gone stupid.

Hey, everyone in the organization, guess what I just saw.

An ordinary person gave my Evil Beast a concussion with a supersonic punch. What do I do? Waiting online, urgent.

Who would believe that if I told them?

Executive Lion had come expecting to capture the guy easily, then show off in front of an ordinary person and watch the boy cry in terror. But now, not only wasn't the boy frightened, Lion himself was about to piss his pants.

He touched his trousers and let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness they weren't wet.

At that moment, Lu Annuan, still transformed as a Magical Girl, landed in the street. She was a little dumbfounded too.

Just as Lu Ming had been utterly bewildered upon learning that Lu Annuan was a Magical Girl, Lu Annuan's mind had completely crashed as well.

How had the boy who had grown up with her suddenly become so powerful?

Lu Ming's strike had made the entire scene rather strange.

Lu Ming hadn't been joking when he said that it had scared him.

He hadn't expected that punch to be so strong either.

What kind of innate super strength was this?!

The thirteen deaths of the Qi family have nothing to do with me, right?

Pah, pah, pah. I'm not Chang Wei.

The system was seriously awesome. Lu Ming had initially thought Constitution +3 was nothing, just a trash reward. But now, did that mean a peak human's physical capabilities were 1, and he had directly stacked that threefold?!

In other words, I was three times as fast as Bolt, three times as strong as Tyson, and three times better at swimming than Pan Zhanle!

No, why would I become a great Demon King in the future?!

I should just take up track and field and win glory for the country!

High school arc?

Lu Ming's Olympics arc, activate!

"Be careful, there are other Evil Beasts!"

Hearing the clear, lovely voice, Lu Ming turned to look beside him. He stared blankly for a moment. Although he could vaguely make out Lu Annuan's features, after transforming into a Magical Girl, she seemed unbelievably beautiful. It was said that Magical Girl transformations made it difficult for people to recognize their real identities, but that beauty was completely genuine.

Why was Lu Annuan so pretty at first glance?!

"It's okay. Magical Girl Polaris will protect you." She looked at him and smiled beneath the moonlight.

Still, that punch from before had indeed given everyone present a small dose of ordinary-person shock.

What kind of One-Punch Man was that?

Executive Lion looked at Lu Ming and Magical Girl Polaris as well. His super intelligence told him that it would be best not to confront such overwhelming power for now.

Since when had such a superhuman appeared somewhere I didn't know about?!

But the organization had just suffered a setback in the capital. As an executive, how could he retreat so easily? He represented the organization's reputation.

"Roar!!"

Executive Lion roared and summoned several more Evil Beasts from thin air. They landed heavily, shattering the concrete beneath their feet.

Brilliant meteors danced through the night sky between towering buildings. They were Magical Girl beams. In her vivid outfit and with her beautiful appearance, the Magical Girl wielded her wand to shatter the grotesque Evil Beasts, turning them into powder that vanished into the air.

The Magical Girl's black hair and flawless pale skin seemed to reflect light in the night, making hearts race.

"B-Boy, you got lucky this time!" Executive Lion, bruised and battered, spat out a threat before turning and fleeing into the darkness.

How could a Star Bearer possess such terrifying strength? Wasn't he male?

Don't tell me he possessed an evil origin like us and gained power from it?!

How could that be possible?!

He had to report this to the leader immediately. Something impossible had happened!

"Are you okay?" Haiyang's beloved celebrity, Magical Girl Polaris, looked worriedly at Lu Ming, who was sitting down to rest. Though he didn't look hurt at all, he had just beaten Executive Lion senseless.

If any other high school boy had been stared at by Polaris like that, he would have blushed as red as a monkey.

But Lu Ming looked up at that familiar yet astonishingly beautiful face. The night breeze blew, lifting the hem of her skirt.

White panties.

So Magical Girls wore panties too. They weren't covered up with magic after all.

Lu Annuan still liked white so much.

Magical Girl Polaris's face instantly turned red enough to bleed.

On a high-rise building several hundred meters away, the bow in a light-blue Magical Girl's hand slowly dissolved into magical power. Her gaze was calm and indifferent as she watched Lu Ming talking to Polaris.

Annoying!

Extremely annoying!

A crystalline butterfly landed on her shoulder.

"Looks like I don't need to appear... I know. I'm not angry. Lu Ming isn't my boyfriend. I'm only using his Star Bearer physique to strengthen my magical power."

Using Love Heart to enhance magical power had an even more obvious effect on Star Bearers.

The light-blue Magical Girl returned to her original form. She was none other than Student Council president Tang Zhiqing.

Though she said those words, the corner of her eye twitched.

Tomorrow, she would have to ask him properly.

The Rewards Were Too Generous

The police car's siren drew closer before it screeched to a stop, its brake pads smoking. Before the car had even fully stopped, a stern-looking young policewoman stepped out.

"The road's concrete was damaged, a warehouse door was smashed, and two bags of chips and some cola were missing from the warehouse. Those were the losses caused by this Evil Beast appearance. It was far less than expected. Thanks to the Magical Girl, but even though we arrived so quickly, we still couldn't help in time," a police officer beside her said.
