Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 48 - 21: You Saw It—He Said It Himself

"I actually wanted to apologize to you that day, but then when I went after the Firebird, I ran into a really strong enemy."

The girl said with a slight sense of dejection, "I couldn’t beat her, and after losing, I fainted and only woke up much later, so I couldn’t come find you."

Jiang Si, being the main culprit, consoled, "It’s not a big deal."

"As long as you don’t mind."

Yin Lian breathed a sigh of relief; she was most afraid of being disliked for lying, "By the way, did your sister secretly transform after going home?"

"Yes, she transformed suddenly at night, messed around with dumbbells, and damaged the floor at home." Jiang Si didn’t hide it.

The girl immediately covered her mouth and giggled, "Hehe, when I first learned to transform, I was about the same, hiding under the covers to transform secretly, very curious about my own strength. The next day, I wasn’t fully awake and, upon getting out of bed, was still in transformed state, accidentally demolished the door at home..."

Jiang Si immediately felt grateful that his younger sister wasn’t foolish to that extent.

However, to be able to sleep peacefully on the first transformation night shows quite the talent; initially, there is all sorts of discomfort, and the maintenance time of transformation wouldn’t be long.

It’s all about time, adaptation, and practice.

"If you ever argue with your sister, you can call me. I’ll protect you from being bullied by her."

Seeing Yin Lian flexing her muscles with a clenched fist, Jiang Si was a bit speechless.

"But I also won’t help you bully her..."

Over here, they were still babbling on, while over there, Teacher Zhang, who was correcting assignments by the desk, coughed and banged a cup on the table, "Class is about to start, why are you two still squatting there? Go to class quickly, stop wasting time here!"

Yin Lian immediately dragged Jiang Si out of the office, sticking her tongue out playfully at Teacher Zhang at the office door.

"Hmph, he just vents his emotions on students. Jiang Si, don’t be discouraged, there are very few teachers like him in our school. You can change classes if needed..."

"Let’s discuss it later."

Switching classes is too troublesome, and no other classes are willing to take on someone like me. Teacher Zhang has already tried to transfer me several times, but other teachers are not willing.

When they were almost to the classroom, Yin Lian waved goodbye, "Anyway, I’ll help you! Don’t worry."

Too enthusiastic, could it be she suspects my involvement with the Cyan Cloud Sect?

Then Jiang Si dismissed the thought, the likelihood was too low.

Or maybe it’s because of the incident where I almost fell from a cloud, making her suspicious and wanting to investigate me.

There’s also a chance she wants to take care of Keke, so she starts with me.

There are quite a few possibilities, better ask Bingtang about any internal intelligence from the Disaster Strategy Bureau before making a judgment.

Bingtang didn’t come to school today, she usually doesn’t on Saturdays because she has private tutoring at home and doesn’t even have to come to school, but oddly enough, she attends more regularly than Jiang Si.

Yet, the two don’t meet at school that often because Jiang Si doesn’t like running into Bingtang at school.

Being noticed is quite a hassle. Bingtang’s appearance, personality, and family background attract an unusual number of admirers, and there are always some brainless ones trying to cause trouble.

He can’t really fight students at school, doing so would get him expelled by the principal. In school, he has to pretend not to notice the troublemakers; outside of school, those brats run away faster than anyone else.

So, at school, he tries to avoid Bingtang as much as possible.

Returning to the classroom seat, he inadvertently noticed that the third-row student on the left side of the class looked familiar.

Then he remembered it was the same student blocked by the group of three thugs this morning.

What a coincidence, they are classmates? No recollection at all.

Thinking so, as he sat at his desk and started rummaging through his backpack for books, he noticed that the boy kept looking out the window, seemingly anxious about something.

Following the boy’s gaze, he spotted a figure wandering back and forth at the school gate.

A thug, as if looking for someone.

He must be looking for me.

As expected, the boldest of the hooligans.

After finding his book and shoving his backpack into the drawer, resting his chin on one hand and yawning, he intended to look away when the thug seemed to notice him.

They locked eyes, not very far apart. He could see the thug with a somewhat arrogant grin, mouthing words and gesturing at him.

The lip reading was straightforward.

"Damn it, come on, beat me up!"
