Chapter 28

: The Average Education Level of Magical Girls

After half a day of repeated practice, Li Huanhuan was able to move her body during cultivation. Although she couldn't do a backflip yet, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was making rapid progress.

Moreover, through guiding her, Mu Ming also noticed the areas where problems might arise during her cultivation.

While teaching, he was also practicing, imitating the mistakes Li Huanhuan made, allowing the magic power to circulate more fully in his body, and ultimately the magic power that returned to the Seed of the Heart was even more mellow than before.

Although the data on paper did not show a significant increase, it gave him the feeling that the magic was more substantial than before.

"It still has to be dual cultivation." Mu Ming sighed as he watched Li Huanhuan walk forward with small steps.

"What does 'dual cultivation' mean?" she asked, tilting her head, having never heard of such a term before.

"It means that two people cultivate together, learning from each other."

Watching Li Huanhuan cultivate, Mu Ming suddenly thought that if magical girls could cultivate, then did the Bureau of Control already have a way to make cultivation a regular practice?

He logged into the Bureau's official website on his phone and found the skills interface.

These skills are numerous but categorized, with the majority being combat skills from different magical girls.

Abilities like [Magic Shaping] and [Magic Construct] are found in the basic skills.

After looking through it several times, I couldn't find any skills that would make "magic circulation," or "cultivation," a regular activity.

"Something's strange..." Mu Ming looked at the list carefully a few more times and confirmed that the skill he wanted was not there.

Although the system recognized him as qualified, it was only the beginning, and Mu Ming naturally did not think that his level of magic application was unprecedented.

The magician who created this webpage must be more skilled than me.

"This can't be some kind of closely guarded secret, can it?"

A thought flashed through my mind, but I quickly dismissed it. On the [Skills] webpage, there were even many "ultimate" level skills marked as [ultimate moves].

In short, if you have the ability to learn it, then feel free to use it.

[Natural Cultivation] Such a skill, which even he, at the second level, could explore and understand, is certainly not something he would keep secret.

"Could it be... that this is actually common sense and doesn't need to be specifically listed?"

Just as Mu Ming was staring at the skills webpage in distress, Li Huanhuan had already walked over in small steps.

"What's wrong? You look so worried."

"Do magical girls maintain their magical energy circulation like they breathe?" Mu Mei asked.

No, it won't.

Seeing that Li Huanhuan seemed quite certain, Mu Ming asked again, "How do you know?"

"Because of my family background, I've met quite a few magical girls, and after becoming a magical girl myself, I've consulted with my seniors to some extent."

"Too."

For a time, Mu Ming also frantically tried to learn about magical girls, but his understanding was basically limited to "how to become a magical girl".

He never really cared what magical girls were like, since none of them could become one anyway.

Li Huanhuan comes from a wealthy family. Even in this extraordinary world, the rich always have more access to resources than the poor.

"What's wrong? Do you think this is a new method you've discovered and want to show it off?"

She approached with a smile, thinking she had guessed Mu Ming's thoughts.

Mu Ming hadn't originally thought of this, but her words were like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples everywhere.

He looked at the "efficiency boost," which had yet to yield any results.

Although the system gave him four directions, the main approach at present is to improve efficiency through [Guardianship].

[Real Name Reveal] Either transform in front of the magical girl, or declare your identity to the magical girl in your original form.

The former is definitely not feasible, but the latter is too laborious, and the bonuses provided by casual players are minimal or nonexistent.

He couldn't find a hundred or so magical girls unless he went to another city, but going out of the city was troublesome and the tickets were expensive.

Some cities don't even have more than ten magical girls.

Mu Ming kept thinking about whether there was a way to bring the magical girls together and at the same time connect "himself" with "the magical girls".

Li Huanhuan's words gave him inspiration.

He previously looked for walkthroughs on the Magical Girls forum, so he can also post walkthroughs on the forum.

Although magical girls are few in number, there are many cities. Just the magical girls in the public eye number in the thousands, not to mention the magical girls in the private sector.

If these girls are gathered together, and even a small fraction of them are attracted, then by finding a way to say "I am actually a magical girl," the efficiency problem might be solved.

"Okay, I'll post about it on the forum when I have time later."

"Huh?" Li Huanhuan's expression was a little subtle. "I don't think the discussion atmosphere on that forum is very friendly. It'll be a bit difficult to practice your method, and you might get scolded."

Although Mu Ming really wanted to say that Li Huanhuan's inability to practice well was her own problem, if he were to make a strategy guide, he would indeed have to consider the possibility that the person reading the guide was an idiot.

It's very difficult to explain profound knowledge in simple terms, in a way that is both engaging and understandable even to a simpleton.

"So what if I get criticized? As long as my product is good, someone will always defend me."

"Haha...that's right." Seeing Mu Ming's confident look, Li Huanhuan didn't want to spoil his fun.

The magical girl's power is not something that can be increased step by step. Mu Ming's method gives her a feeling that it goes against her nature and common sense.

Even if Mu Ming really explained the methods of cultivation clearly, those who actually benefited would most likely only receive responses like "What's it for?" or "What does it mean?"...

"Then go ahead and prepare. If you need anything, just let me know," Li Huanhuan said, but in her heart she was already planning how to comfort him if he failed.

"If possible, I really need your help with a certain place."

"Go ahead and say it~"

"I want to use your account to post."

"Huh? This is a bit too much..." It's a private account after all, even though Li Huanhuan only lurks in the forum and has never posted anything.

"There's no way around it. Some magical girls seem to be able to affect the network, and registering directly might cause trouble."

Based on my experience when I logged into the "Siss System," if that magical girl really wanted to find me, it would be hard for me to hide.

But the fact that someone can find him is not a reason for him to be unprepared.

Computers inevitably encounter viruses, and turning off the firewall is not the reason for this.

Li Huanhuan knew Mu Ming's difficulties and could fully foresee that there would be many more such difficulties in the future.

I couldn't help but feel a little happy.

However, she still looked troubled.

She was originally thinking about how to give him a little nudge, but then she remembered that he had helped her without reservation with how to become stronger, and that he had even come all the way to help her solve her problems whenever she was in trouble.

Even if the method is useless, it still comes from a sincere heart.

Li Huanhuan wanted to wait for a high price to sell, but she also felt that it was not appropriate.

"I can't rely on anyone else for this," Mu Ming said, putting down his phone and looking at Li Huanhuan seriously.

"Saying such things..." is a bit too much.

Li Huanhuan's initial hesitation vanished completely.

"Okay. Remember to contact me if you need any alternate accounts in the future." It's best if there are no other options.

"Um."

buzz-

Mu Minggang nodded, but his phone vibrated; someone was calling him.

Seeing the change in his expression, Li Huanhuan asked softly, "Who is it?"

"Guardian," Mu Ming said, then retreated towards the entrance.

Seeing that Mu Ming was deliberately avoiding her, Li Huanhuan was slightly disappointed, but she quickly let it go—there was still plenty of time ahead.

"Feed." Mu Ming answered the phone, deliberately omitting the form of address since he was at someone else's house.

Are you free this weekend?

"I'm free." Apart from Li Huanhuan, no one else would ask him out.

"I noticed you haven't taken any psychological tests lately. How about I take you to one this weekend?"

"not good."

"Why...why?"

"I don't want to go." Jin Yu is too strong to become a [companion]. Although we need to maintain a relationship, we don't need a very close one yet.

Let's omit this special event.

It's true that Mu Ming doesn't have any appointments, but he also won't spend his time doing psychological tests.

"...Uh..." Jin Yu stammered a little, probably not expecting Mu Ming to refuse so decisively.

"Um, Muming, you should still make this. You'll need it when you enroll, otherwise you won't be able to enroll."

Mu Ming had almost forgotten about going to school.

Going to school is so that you will be able to support yourself in the future. Now that you are capable, why go to school? Studying is important, but you can read books anywhere.

If he becomes a magical girl but still has to go to school, isn't it a waste that he became a magical girl?

Moreover, magical girls typically only have a junior high school education, and many even have only an elementary school education, so a junior high school education is considered sufficient for magical girls.

"No need, I'm not going to school."

"No, you can't think like that!" Jin Yu's tone became agitated for some reason. "You need to study hard, and it would be best if you could go to university. That way, you'd have a better chance of securing your future..."

"There are no educational requirements for becoming a magical girl."

"..."

The silence lasted a few seconds, and Jin Yu seemed to have something to do and left. Mu Ming then said goodbye:

"I have something to do, bye-bye."

"Muming..." The tone of the voice on the other end of the phone was gloomy and oppressive, unlike the tone Jin Yu would use.

"Come and do it. Keep a good mindset; it's a necessary lesson for a... a... magical girl. After we're done, I'll take you out for something delicious, okay?"

Mu Ming has a good mindset, is positive and optimistic, and there is no need for him to undergo psychological testing.

He thought that by being firm, he could get away with it, but to his surprise, Jin Yu was unexpectedly patient.

She is, after all, his guardian, and someone who has raised him to some extent.

At most, I can only force myself on her; if I insist on doing so, it would be morally wrong.

"Alright."
