A Magical Girl's First Day

Bai Jingxuan took a deep breath.

She closed her eyes.

"I want to deliver meals to children with mobility issues myself."

Her voice was soft but clear. "I don't need anyone's help, and I don't always have to worry about troubling others. I want to leave that kind of life."

She paused for a moment.

"And..." she continued, her voice even softer, "I want to one day do something with you. To do it with you, all the way to the end."

Ziwei remained silent.

But at that moment, Su Bai heard a truly complete wish.

Specifically.

It can continue.

It's not a passive desire to survive, but an active will to live more like a certain ideal.

He said to Kabi in his mind.

"Kabi, begin bootstrapping using the existing mechanisms."

"Clear."

The fairy's voice rang out, "Instead of gifting the original Seed of the Heart, will you use her existing pure essence to activate it?"

"Right."

Su Bai said, "This kind of awakening will be more solidified."

Because the power comes from herself.

"We're going somewhere."

Ziwei said.

She helped Bai Jingxuan up from the chair.

The two walked out of the storage room.

The corridor is safe now.

Kabi has cleared away all the glass shards, and there are no dangerous items near the exit.

Ziwei designated another room in the storage room as a short-term training area.

She confirmed that the hostages were in a safe place and that the enemy had been completely incapacitated and rendered unable to move.

Then, she stood guard inside the door.

"Now, gather your Wishforce."

Ziwei said, "Just like we said before, just imagine the things you want to do. Don't think about anything else."

Bai Jingxuan closed her eyes.

She imagined herself walking into each child's room.

Imagine yourself standing upright, without relying on anyone's help.

Imagine yourself working alongside a girl named Ziwei to accomplish something.

Her Magic Power began to gather.

A faint light emanated from her body.

The light grew brighter and brighter.

More and more...

Then, they dispersed.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

Bai Jingxuan opened her eyes, somewhat dejected.

Ziwei gently patted her shoulder.

Stop.

She said, "Breathe. Take a breath."

Bai Jingxuan sniffed.

"That's normal."

Ziwei said, "It's common to fail the first time. Don't exhaust yourself to the point of fainting. Try again next time."

She didn't portray this failure as a dangerous warning that she was about to explode.

They didn't blame Bai Jingxuan for anything she did wrong.

Just have her stop, catch her breath, and do it again.

The second time.

Bai Jingxuan closed her eyes again.

This time, her Wishforce gathered much more steadily.

Light emanated from her body.

This time, the light did not disperse.

It gathers, condenses, and forms a definite shape.

A white coat draped over Bai Jingxuan.

The light-colored fabric and delicate bells shimmered in the light.

Her body underwent changes.

As the altitude increased, so did the line of sight.

That paralyzed right leg...

It can support her weight now.

Bai Jingxuan opened her eyes and looked at herself with a strange and fresh gaze.

The transformation details haven't been fully revealed yet.

She wasn't given a seemingly all-powerful, custom-designed weapon.

This prevented her from thinking she was invincible.

Only the fabric and bells were visible at first glance.

But that's enough.

She carefully placed her feet on the ground.

Apply force tentatively.

The patient's condition is stable.

For the first time, she stood up straight using her own strength.

Bai Jingxuan wanted to rush out immediately.

I wanted to rush into every child's room immediately.

I want to prove what I can do right now.

Ziwei pressed down on her shoulder.

"Take two steps first."

She said, "Don't rush."

Bai Jingxuan took the first step.

The patient's condition is stable.

Step two.

It remains stable.

Ziwei nodded.

"Yes."

She said, turning around and picking up the list Bai Jingxuan had compiled earlier from the table next to her, "Now take this."

She handed the list to Bai Jingxuan.

"You lead the way for this section."

Ziwei said in a very calm tone, "You can call me beforehand if there's anything dangerous. Just bring people according to the list; you can do that."

Bai Jingxuan took the list.

Her fingers were trembling, but she was gripping them tightly.

The newcomer's role is determined by recognizing each child's strengths.

It's not determined by an unfamiliar position or staffing quota.

Rather, it is determined by the knowledge and experience she actually possesses.

From this assignment, Su Bai saw an assistant who could independently handle specific tasks.

Kabi offered suggestions regarding her transformation form.

"Based on this, the suggested temporary codename is 'Clear Bell'."

The fairy said.

Bai Jingxuan agreed.

She likes the name.

Like a bell that rings when the wind blows.

Light, yet present.

Ziwei accompanied her out of the training area.

The former dean was waiting at the roll call area.

When he saw Ziwei leading a transformed girl over, his eyes first showed wariness, then confusion.

"This is our new partner."

Ziwei said to the old dean, "Her code name Clear Bell. She will assist you with roll call. I will be in charge of on-site security."

The old dean first looked at Clear Bell's face.

He recognized those eyes.

That's the girl whose right leg was paralyzed before.

He was stunned.

Then he nodded.

He will not automatically submit to strangers in unfamiliar organizations.

But he recognized the face.

This made all the difference.

Bai Jingxuan —now Clear Bell —stands in front of the group of people being resettled.

For the first time, she could hold the list steadily in her hands without needing to lean against the wall.

She saw Ziwei standing guard behind her.

Following the division of labor demonstrated earlier, she spoke.

The sound was very soft.

But it's very clear.

"Magical Girl, Codename Clear Bell --Settlement Mission Begins."

Clear Bell took the handwritten list and walked to the corner.

She had just taken her second step when the heel of her high heel struck the edge of the newly materialized white skirt.

He lost his balance and fell straight forward.

Ziwei reacted quickly, supporting her wrist with one hand and pulling her steady.

Su Bai quickly calculated the adaptation costs for the newcomers in his mind.

"Shorten your stride by half," Ziwei said.

"Your Magical Armor weighs different from your regular clothes, so don't take big steps like you used to."

Clear Bell nodded quickly and slowed her pace.

Newcomers absolutely cannot fall at a time like this; Su Bai has no intention of dealing with a stampede.

Clear Bell called out the names on the list one by one.

She successfully found the children who were hiding in a locker deep in the corridor.

All personnel were moved to the safe area in the lobby.

After confirming that the number of people was correct, Ziwei turned and walked towards the gate of the Welfare Home.

There are still a few unresolved issues on the periphery that need to be addressed.

Scarface was still kneeling on the concrete ground outside the gate, which was covered with broken glass.

Ziwei kicked the seized black communication terminal in front of his knee.

"Open your contacts and call your supplier."
