Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 381 - 62 Rule Changes

"All in all, based on what we discussed this morning, the previous agreement is hereby nullified,"

At night, at the headquarters’ dining table, after dinner, the Magical Girls gathered, and Asou Haruka, after a brief introduction, announced to everyone, "Even if one side loses the contest, neither side will be bound by any constraint. Winning doesn’t necessarily mean you must take the exam, and losing doesn’t mean you can’t. Those who should take the exam will do so, and those who should go home will go home. Well, it’s quite embarrassing to change orders like this, but for now, it’s been changed."

No one responded to her immediately.

Not only the Fangting City team but even the members of the Bai’an City team, her own team, looked at her with bewildered faces, seemingly clueless about what Asou Haruka was really getting at.

However, even if they didn’t understand, there would ultimately be one person to follow up on the matter, and finally, Xia Liang took the initiative to speak up, taking on this responsibility:

"Then... may I ask, if there’s no longer a restriction that we can only take the exam if we win against your team, is there still a need for the contest?"

"There is."

Emerald Sparrow, who had been silent until now, replied, "Consider it a way to assess the difficulty of the exam, as well as to understand the abilities of your fellow Magical Girls. Up until now, you’ve encountered too few Magical Girls; this opportunity for actual combat should not be missed."

"An opportunity for actual combat... I see."

Xia Liang pondered thoughtfully, glancing in the direction of the Bai’an City team, then nodded at Emerald Sparrow, "I understand. I will prepare seriously."

"Good." Emerald Sparrow nodded back at her, then looked around at the others, "That’s more or less the conclusion. Everyone else doesn’t need to be so restrained; feel free to ask any questions you might have."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mu Baihe raised her hand.

"Go ahead," Emerald Sparrow gestured for her to speak.

"Can I designate my own opponent?" Mu Baihe blinked her eyes.

Emerald Sparrow neither agreed nor disagreed, calmly counter-questioning, "In theory, I have no grounds to force you to battle anyone in particular, but may I ask your reason?"

"Because I have a conflict with that person." Mu Baihe tilted her head slightly and glanced in the direction of the Fangting City team.

Following her gaze, Emerald Sparrow easily identified the "conflict object" referred to—the person in question was her own daughter, Lin Xiaolu.

Her expression stalled briefly, but the peculiarity was quickly concealed. She looked toward Lin Xiaolu, hoping this was all just a one-sided misunderstanding, but as soon as her gaze shifted, she saw her daughter glaring back at Mu Baihe just as sharply.

It seemed it was indeed not a misunderstanding.

After confirming Mu Baihe was speaking truthfully, Emerald Sparrow subconsciously twitched her lips.

Although she had felt this way before, was her daughter’s interpersonal skill really so poor? Not to mention making friends, but to make two enemies out of three strangers in just a few days was truly extraordinary.

Unfortunately, these were thoughts she could only entertain in her mind; it was absolutely not the time to voice them. So, she looked to Asou Haruka, hoping to get some effective advice from her.

"No,"

The advice from Asou Haruka was succinct, dismissing Mu Baihe’s proposal with just two words.

"Why?" Mu Baihe immediately puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"Because it would be too rude, you dummy," Asou Haruka sighed. "We’ll decide the specific opponents for the contest by drawing lots. Picking opponents is not up for discussion."

With Mu Baihe’s request so easily vetoed, it was now Bai Ji’s turn to ask a question. This Magical Girl, who had previously been designated as the future leader of the Bai’an City team, was already halfway raising her hand, apparently having her own opinion about the arrangement.

"May I ask why the earlier agreement was canceled? According to the mentor’s previous proposal, if next year’s exam is indeed very dangerous, it should be necessary to verify strength in advance."

After being signaled by Emerald Sparrow to speak, Bai Ji brought up her confusion: "Of course, I will follow the mentor’s arrangements, my question is merely due to personal curiosity."

After reflecting for two days, Bai Ji had regained her composure compared to the night she first arrived in Fangting City, once again showing her steady side.

If it weren’t for the fact that she and Lin Xiaolu were still not talking to each other, not even deigning to glance at one another, Emerald Sparrow might have thought their conflict had been resolved.

"It’s because I discussed it with your teacher and ultimately concluded that respecting the personal wishes of team members in regard to the exam is important,"

Emerald Sparrow was prepared for Bai Ji’s question and had a ready response, flowing smoothly: "As long as you are prepared to face potential dangers, we have no reason to stop you. And as for the dangers of the exam... next year, I will accompany those of you who will take the exam, so there’s no need for much worry on that front."

Emerald Sparrow didn’t finish what she was saying; explaining why she would accompany them to the kingdom or how she would ensure their safety was something she found difficult to elaborate on.

It would be hard for her to simply tell these children that she would go to the kingdom just to have the false identity of an examinee and that she would have to take the exam with them under this guise...

It wasn’t that she worried about them leaking information; she simply felt that they couldn’t help with her personal healing, and talking about it now would only add to their worries.

Nonetheless, even if she didn’t explain this aspect, just mentioning "I will go" was enough to dispel the concerns of her juniors. Not to mention the Magical Girls from Bai’an City, who weren’t familiar with her, even the three from the Fangting City team raised no objections.
