I dug up the magical girl's corpse.

Chapter 39 Arrival

"You bastard... damn it... I'm going to kill you!"

As a magical girl of the [Bud] level, Kapok certainly wouldn't fall so easily.

But more than the physical pain is the shame of a lethal dose. Physical pain can be reduced with magic, but shame cannot.

Anger, disgust, and murderous intent surged through her, making it impossible for her to calm down.

The surrounding discussions and stares made Kapok's eyes widen in fury, and her face contorted with rage.

She looked like a female ghost, pulling her body out of the crater.

"Chen Mu, no matter how you obtained your power, I will make you regret what you did today!"

Kapok's red hair was disheveled in front of her eyes. She fiercely wiped the blood from her face and gritted her teeth as she shouted:

"Heroes are born!"

The magic around her began to surge violently, instantly turning fiery red, as if exploding outwards and scattering layers of light and shadow.

This is—Transformation! The lyrics for the transformation!

Everyone clearly realized this, and their faces showed disbelief.

You're a magical girl, and you're going to transform and beat up an ordinary person here? Have you no shame?

This is more than just a matter of saving face... it could even involve legal issues, which is very serious.

"...He's gone mad!"

"Run!"

Many people began to dodge and run away. Some hid under the tables, while others panicked and ran straight inside. In short, no one dared to stay there. The entire front hall suddenly became chaotic. Things were knocked over, people bumped into each other, and the place was a mess. Some people even turned back before leaving, looking at Chen Mu with worry.

I don't know what he'll do.

However, Chen Mu simply stood still and did not move.

He even used his eyes to stop Lin Yongxi, who was not far away, telling her not to do anything and to stay away.

"...Brother-in-law."

Lin Yongxi was breathing rapidly; even she could feel the intense magical power gathering around Mu Mian, which was unusually high.

very dangerous!

However, this danger is precisely part of Chen Mu's plan that he has to go through.

He knew Mu Mian would definitely transform, but forcing her to transform was Chen Mu's ultimate goal. Mu Mian was easily angered and impatient; with a little provocation, it wouldn't be difficult for her to do this. If she actually did it, she would be finished, especially given the reputation of the Demon Academy. Such a thing couldn't be suppressed, and she would definitely be held accountable.

Chen Mu is not a magnanimous person; he holds grudges. Since Mu Mian has offended him, he must eliminate her completely and prevent her from continuing to pose a threat.

He cannot do it directly right now, so he must rely on the help of "public opinion" and "law".

The only problem is, how will he withstand the onslaught during the period when the Kapok transforms?

Is the current power of this monster enough?

Chen Mu wasn't entirely confident. His supernatural powers were still undeveloped, at a relatively rudimentary stage. If it were just about physical strength, he could indeed defeat the untransformed Mu Mian. But facing a bud-level magical girl in her transformed state was a completely different level of threat.

Chen Mu wasn't 100% sure, but he couldn't let Lin Yongxi get involved. He had to fight it alone, or he would lose his "perfect victim" status.

"Force her into her transformation, then start running away, fleeing into the city, making her hesitant and unable to unleash her full potential, allowing more people to witness her actions!"

Chen Mu had devised a plan, and by this time, Mu Mian's costume change was basically complete.

Her original crimson armor once again covered her body, shimmering in patches, covering every part of her body.

Magic also began to respond to her initial lyrics:

"combustion--"

Heh.

The sound was stopped.

To Kapok's astonishment, this time, the magic did not respond to her call, and her transformation was stuck halfway through.

How is that possible?!

However, a voice lingered behind them:

"What are you doing?"

The sound seemed to come from behind everyone, a concept difficult to describe. Everyone felt the sound was coming from behind. But everyone was facing a different angle, which seemed contradictory. If some people were looking directly at each other, where did the sound actually come from?

Nobody knows.

A slender, graceful figure silently approached, her toes seemingly creating ripples as she slowly descended.

She moved very quietly, yet her magic was extremely powerful, instantly suppressing the surrounding commotion. The area became completely silent, devoid of any noisy sounds.

She had long, smooth, jet-black hair and wore an elegantly designed dress with tiny shimmering dots on its deep purple surface.

A woman with clear white pupils and one eye closed, exuding a cool and noble aura.

"...!"

Lin Yongxi held her breath instantly.

Her first reaction was: the image her brother-in-law described was too real, there was no exaggeration at all.

So she could recognize who it was at first glance.

This feeling is like a character in a novel suddenly appearing in front of you, inevitably bringing great shock.

This was probably the first time the novice magical girl Lin Yongxi had encountered this. It was only much later that she realized why everyone said that when a "flower" descended before her, she could not take her eyes off it. It was almost an innate instinct, an unchangeable physical memory.

Among the crowd, some did not recognize the suddenly appearing magical girl, while others did and respectfully greeted her:

"Master [Tide]..."

However, the tide did not linger on anyone, but walked slowly until it reached the disheveled kapok tree.

"Are you going to break the laws set by the chiefs?" A cold voice followed the gaze downwards: "Kapok?"

"No... I wouldn't dare..."

Kapok's usual irritable temper vanished, leaving only a girl curled up on the ground, trembling.

She was horrified to discover that she couldn't summon any magic power in the face of the tides!

Not only was the transformation process interrupted, but even magic was undetectable. For a magical girl, this felt like being cut off from the world; everything suddenly went dark, leaving her powerless and utterly terrifying. This kind of thing… I've never heard of anything like it! It defies all reason!

Being stared at by those pale white pupils felt like falling into an endless abyss.

Therefore, the kapok tree completely lost the will to resist and could only tremble, unable to do anything.

"Get lost."

The words fell like a gavel, and in that instant, Kapok lost consciousness and fell backward.

Blood was trickling from the corner of her mouth. It was unclear what kind of injury had caused her or whether she would ever wake up.

In short, nobody cared about the situation of the kapok trees.

Before Tide could finish her question, she slowly turned her head, facing Chen Mu next:

"Chen Mu, has your power finally spiraled out of control?"
