Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 44 - 20: Go Capture Tang Sanzang
After returning to her room, she waited for a while and heard her brother come back.
Only then did Keke carefully open the door and tiptoe out.
Looking at the heavy black iron lump, her face showed a trace of determination, "I won’t believe it!"
She took out the Miracle Seed and transformed while suppressing her voice to the lowest.
A fiery red light burst forth during the transformation, illuminating the entire hall in red.
She quickly restrained her magic power, suppressing the escaping energy to the minimum, and looked up to confirm that Jiang Si hadn’t noticed anything.
Only then did she reach out again and grab the iron lump.
With a sudden force, she lifted the barbell.
"That’s all there is to it..."
She wanted to say, but even when suppressing her magic, using the body of a Magical Girl to lift the large iron block, she felt the astounding weight and strain.
Keke had seen Jiang Si training with it before, lifting it effortlessly, even with one hand, while reading a book.
He really is a monster, isn’t he?
Even if someone suddenly told her that her only blood relative was actually a Disaster Beast, Keke wouldn’t doubt it.
Or perhaps she was just too weak...
As a budding Magical Girl, her magic power and control precision were extremely poor.
After parting with Teacher Zi Yuan, she and Yin Lian had taken tests, and the results were not promising.
Among the new Magical Girls, she was considered relatively weak.
Yin Lian reassured her that even Cui Que’s initial abilities weren’t outstanding but she still became a top Magical Girl.
But Keke never felt she was that formidable character.
If she wasn’t good enough, she would never be good enough, with no possibility of turning things around or making a stunning impact.
However, she had to become stronger.
If she couldn’t, she might never see Teacher Zi Yuan again, and she wouldn’t be able to catch up with her to become a good friend.
Thinking of becoming friends with Teacher Zi Yuan made Keke’s heart warm instantly.
Drawing on her magic power, controlling it precisely, she began to truly train her abilities using this black iron lump.
...
Early in the morning, Jiang Si came down from his bedroom and saw the dented floor and the slightly deformed barbell.
Of course, he had sensed Keke transforming into a Magical Girl last night; this fool couldn’t control her power leakage at all, it was impossible not to notice.
For the first time, Jiang Si felt like asking her:
Why spend a whole night without sleep, persistently using magic power to mess with the barbell?
Even if she wanted to practice magic control, there was no need to fiddle around at night.
The sound of the barbell falling woke him up several times intermittently.
When Jiang Si came out, Keke also emerged from her room, still with dark circles under her eyes, glanced at the mess she had made of the floor, and turned her head, "It was an accident yesterday..."
An accident that lasted the whole night.
"Go to Uncle’s house this afternoon and ask him to help fix the floor; Uncle owes the family 160,000 yuan, fixing the floor shouldn’t cost anything."
"Okay."
Keke nodded, "Sorry."
"Next time, go to the yard."
"Got it."
No matter how cold the relationship or frequent the arguments, when she made a mistake, Jiang Keke would always admit it honestly.
From this perspective, her rebellion phase wasn’t particularly severe.
He carried his backpack, casually grabbing a leftover bun from the kitchen, added some leftover dishes from last night, and headed to school.
It’s a Saturday, so junior students like Keke don’t have class.
But Jiang Si is a second-year high school student, and his school has weekend classes.
Most of the time, Jiang Si would skip, but never on Saturdays.
Because on Saturdays, the school is quiet, with only second-year students attending classes—the third-year students have exams coming up and don’t have weekend classes.
This makes it easy to encounter lone students, giving the local hooligans a chance.
The location of No. 4 High is off the beaten path, and these hooligans often come around to swagger on Saturdays, making it tough for the school to catch them.
They make for the best actual combat practice for Jiang Si.
Though weak, you could clearly feel your progress in actual combat.
Punching bags that fight back aren’t easy to find.
Moreover, there’s no math in today’s morning classes, so he plans to listen in.
Not that Jiang Si doesn’t understand math, it’s just that he knows high school math inside out, and studying more doesn’t improve his scores.
Plus, his math scores don’t drag down his overall points.
So math class is just a waste of time for him.
In his high school studies, he forgets Chinese and English the most; even if memorized at the time, if not reviewed for a long time, they are easily forgotten.
Math, physics, even chemistry, he can pick up again by reviewing; it’s easy to regain the feel of solving problems.
His memory for words isn’t sharp, but for formulas and equations, once remembered, they’re hard to forget.
He aims to maintain a passable score to at least get into a top-tier university because in Beihai, these universities offer courses on the basic properties of Magical Girl magic, with in-depth research, including high-level papers and reports.
Far more efficient than their own efforts.
Second-tier schools won’t do; universities in Beihai City at that level have Magical Girl programs with basically trash theoretical levels.
As for junior colleges, they aren’t suited to researching Magical Girls in Beihai City.
So Jiang Si’s goal is to keep his overall score high enough for a top-tier university, to further study the power and knowledge related to Magical Girls.
The Cyan Cloud Sect can only provide superficial information; to know cutting-edge Magical Girl theoretical research results, you have to personally get into a university, as much of the research is sealed off by the Disaster Strategy Bureau after completion and not disclosed.
