Chapter 33: Letter from Blue Crow
After the magical girl Ashes left, the classroom was shrouded in deathly silence for a long time. The will-o'-the-wisp fire in the eye sockets of the three pumpkin lanterns suspended in the air flickered.

The faces of the people below then alternately became light and dark, their expressions becoming blurred.

In such an uneasy atmosphere, the two new magical girls put their hands on their knees, scratched the back of their hands from time to time, and looked at each other, as if looking for a way to excuse themselves.

Finally, Lilai, one of the three leaders of the Alliance, broke the silence, looked up at the two newcomers, and said indifferently:

"As you can see, an emergency has occurred. This meeting ends here. You two should go back first and be careful on the road."

"Okay, then three seniors, we'll be leaving first!"

The two magical girls finally found a staircase to go down, and as if they had grabbed a life-saving straw, they spoke quickly in unison, immediately stood up and bowed, and ran out of the classroom. Only the three presidents of the Alliance were left sitting under the pumpkin lantern.

"Xiao Ni is still the same, impulsive, reckless, and paranoid." Lilai glanced at the broken glass on the ground and said slowly, "Shouldn't we have a good discussion about who made her like this?"

“Whether during training or at other times, I never relaxed my attitude towards her for even a moment.” Utena consoled herself calmly.

At this moment, they both turned their eyes to Xiziyue who was sitting on the right without saying a word.

"You guys are quite humorous. You don't want to say it's me..." Xiziyue was halfway through her words when she saw the two people's eyes becoming more aggressive. So she sighed and changed the topic, "Forget it, just think of it as me spoiling her like this. You guys are like this, what else can I say? Just follow your lead."

She finished eating the rice dumplings, clapped her hands, and continued:
"But think on the bright side, at least it's quite lively, isn't it? Otherwise, if there is only 'magic' but no 'girl', then the title of 'magical girl' will be in name only."

Lilai withdrew her gaze from her and said coldly, "That's easy to say. Who knows what troubles she might get into in this year."

"Instead of discussing these things that haven't happened yet, why don't we discuss the person who followed her? Don't you care about him?"

As she spoke, Xiziyue changed the subject very skillfully and naturally: "Although the eavesdropper is very weak, otherwise he wouldn't have hidden so shallowly, but we can't be careless. Maybe he was discovered on purpose in order to induce Xiaoni to chase her."

As she finished her words, a thick book with intricate patterns on the cover appeared in her hand and rose slowly into the sky without any wind, as if it was being held up by an invisible hand from below.

Then, a card flew out of the book, shot out of the window, and disappeared into the night without a trace.

Xiziyue reached out and grabbed the magic book, closed it, and put it on the table while explaining: "If something happens to her, this card will teleport you there immediately."

Lilai noticed something was wrong with the conversation and glared at her: "We? What about you?"

"Eat, sleep, and recharge my energy. I have a lot of commercials to shoot tomorrow." Xiziyue answered very naturally.

“I really wish your fans in China could see you like you normally are,” Lilai said.

"I am just paying tribute to our national treasure, the panda."

"Don't insult pandas, they're not as lazy as you."

Utena interrupted their gossip and said, "In short, regardless of her personality, Bai Zini is indeed the most promising magical girl we have ever seen. At her rate of improvement, she may be able to catch up with us in less than a year. It is precisely because of this visible potential that you focus on training her, right?"

"This is just based on the growth rate of magic power. She may be on par with us within a year." Lilai said slowly, "But in terms of actual combat, this child is a complete eccentric student. She is a magical girl who doesn't know magic cards at all. It's really outrageous..."

"If you must say it, isn't there another student like this who is biased in one subject?"

Xiziyue teased lightly while glancing at Utena who was sitting in a dignified posture.

Utena remained noncommittal: "Bai Zini's potential is far greater than mine. Mutated wands are rare, and this is the first time a magic umbrella-type mutation has occurred. It is the only one of its kind in thousands of years." At this moment, the magic book that Xi Ziyue had placed on the table suddenly vibrated slightly. Utena and Lilai next to her looked over and asked, "Is Xiao Ni in danger?"

"No, I closed my phone in the magic book."

As Xiziyue spoke, she reached out and opened the magic book on the table, and took out the vibrating Huawei Nova13 phone from it.

The two people next to her gave her a contemptuous look at the same time, thinking what kind of magical girl would put her cell phone in a magic book? It turned out that Huijin learned his poor behavior management from you. Why are all your Chinese magical girls the same?

Xiziyue lowered her eyes and looked at the message she received, and was stunned for half a second.

Then, she looked up from her phone screen and said, "Blue Crow from the Super Hero Association asked us to come to their head office. He said he had something important to discuss with us."

"Wait a minute, you actually have that weirdo's contact information?" Lilai noticed that Xiziyue was checking WeChat, not some work software.

Utena's eyes also showed some disbelief. She shifted her gaze and looked directly at Xiziyue's profile.

Who is Qing Ya? He is a superhero famous all over the world.

Especially in China, Qing Ya's image is equivalent to a low-quality artist who has smoked marijuana, and criticizing him has gradually become a recognized political correctness. If a popular figure like Xiziyue is exposed to have maintained a private relationship with Qing Ya, then her fans are likely to disappear overnight, which will directly put the operation of the Chinese Magical Girls League branch in jeopardy.

"Why can't we have his contact information?"

Xiziyue was typing on her cell phone, her hair covering her profile, and the other two could only look at the two bun-shaped buns on top of her head.

"Did the higher-ups ask you to contact him?" Lilai speculated.

"No." Xiziyue paused, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said expressionlessly, "I'm ashamed to say this, but... I'm his fan."

As soon as the words fell, the air in the entire classroom seemed to darken for a moment. The three pumpkin-shaped floating chandeliers controlled by Lilai lost their luster in the sky, and only rekindled the orange-yellow flames two or three seconds later.

She took a deep breath, and after a while, she asked, "Are you kidding?"

"Why are you kidding?" Xiziyue said, "Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll go by myself, and then I'll tell you what he told me."

As she spoke, she had already stood up from the table.

Utena said, "Of course we will go. You don't have the final say on the Alliance alone." She paused, "Also, I have to tell you something."

"What's the matter?" Xiziyue glanced at her.

Utena looked straight at her and used the same words she had used to warn Ash on the world's most powerful magical girl.

"Pay attention to your image. Your behavior will not only put you in trouble, but will also affect the public image of the Alliance."

"Okay." Xiziyue nodded calmly, "Let's go, Qingya is waiting for us."

After saying that, she followed the two out of the brightly lit classroom and into the corridor. The moonlight flowed on the ground like mercury, and the night was beautiful tonight.
