Chapter 115 A Well-Trained Body (6,000 words)
Melodious music filled the coffee shop. Jin Cha listened to the surrounding people, and although there was some malice, most of them were normal sentiments.

Finally regaining his calm and elegant expression, he sipped his coffee.

[That Shami is so slow! She was the one who initiated the duel challenge, but she's late... Here she comes.]

【Oh no, oh no! I wanted to overpower Tao Tao by arriving earlier, but I overslept. Waaah, I'm such an idiot…】

The girl's adorable, thoughtful thoughts drifted over, and Jin Cha smiled slightly as she watched the girl clumsily run into the coffee shop to find her companion.

As expected, cases like Coco's and Li Yi's are still rare.

During her trip to the Beihai Disaster Management Bureau, Jin Cha realized that human malice was not so terrible.

What's frightening is the unknown language.

Phrases like "Which girl should I go on a date with today?", "I wish I could marry a magical girl!", "I really want to blow up the company!", and "Should I poison my whole family while cooking so we can all go to heaven together?" are actually quite ordinary...

No, what's going on with the last one?

Jin Cha glanced at the housewife below, sighed, took out a card, blew on it, and the card turned into starlight, scattering onto the woman.

Sigh, forget it, let's just get a divorce...

Although we don't know what happened, it would be best to solve the problem in a normal way.

Seeing the woman leave her seat, and then many other people walk out, the noise level soon dropped significantly, and Jin Cha picked up her coffee cup again.

Magical girls are beings that bring miracles and happiness, but having heard countless heartfelt words, Kincha knew long ago that true happiness is not so easily obtained.

True happiness requires one's own effort to grasp and obtain.

The process and the result together make up the experience of happiness.

Magic is not omnipotent. Magical girls can only provide an environment for people to pursue happiness, but they cannot directly make people happy.

The more you interfere in other people's normal lives, the more unhappiness you will bring.

Extraordinary power can only protect everyone's ordinary life.

If it is intended to change people's ordinary lives, it will only lead to disaster.

The witch's association with the calamity beast was born from this mistake.

Moreover, who can say that these hardships are not part of a happy life?
If we persevere through the difficulties until the clouds part, happiness will surely be found.

I took another sip of coffee with most of it sugar in it.

In fact, Jin Cha doesn't like coffee.

Because coffee is bitter, she has never liked bitter things since she was a child, but since becoming a councilor at the General Bureau, Jin Cha has decided to become like an adult.

Magical girls are still children, and they don't handle many things very well, especially when it comes to adult matters. There aren't many people who would stand up for the interests of magical girls, and as their representative, she has to do just that.

She must not let others see her immaturity and naivety; she must always maintain elegance and composure. As a councilor, she must protect the other magical girls and fight for their interests and help.

You must act like a mature adult and not let others see through you.

Therefore, they dress in mature clothes, drink mature coffee, and constantly imitate adults in their words and actions.

With her ability to read minds, she always maintained a sense of ease and composure.

If you can always pretend to be an adult, then who can say you're a child?

Although deep down, Jin Cha always considered herself a child.

When buying train tickets, I subconsciously want to buy children's tickets; when ordering food, I always glance at the children's meals; when talking about children's activities, I always think that I can participate myself.

But she has always kept it well hidden.

The Qingyun Sect was very sincere, choosing a coffee shop in the city center as the location for the negotiations, which clearly showed that they had no intention of taking action.

Therefore, Jin Cha simply sent the rest of the Disaster Management Bureau members who had followed her back.

The members of the North Sea Disaster Management Bureau, on the contrary, somewhat disturbed her thoughts.

The coffee shop is very upscale and seems to be an asset of the Ice Age Group. As a behemoth group that gets involved in every industry, even the Disaster Management Bureau has related business cooperation with the Ice Age Group.

When I first came in, there was even a small welcome from below.

That was done very well.

Compared to the North Sea Disaster Management Bureau, they have much more self-respect and value this meeting much more.

After I took a sip of coffee, the waiter turned on some music.

The melodious classical music put me in a good mood, even though Jin Cha doesn't actually like classical music that much.

She prefers pop music, especially pop music related to love.

The chattering of the girls, including their innermost thoughts, drifted over again.

My sister ate an extra bite of cake earlier, so we have to get it back this time!

My sister ate one less piece of cake before, so she has to give it back this time, or she'll definitely throw a tantrum.

Ugh, if the hood covers it, the hair clip won't be visible, but it's so uncomfortable without a hood...

[Hehehe, three golds in ten pulls! Too bad nobody plays, so they don't know how valuable my pulls are. What can stop me now? But why is the next featured character Iris? I remember she wasn't popular, right?]

The heartfelt words of youth made Jin Cha feel younger herself.

And that girl in the light blue dress, Iris is quite popular.

After internally refuting this, Jin Cha began to miss Iris and Azure Phoenix again.

I hope their assessment goes well.

From a distance outside the cafe, she could not ignore the voice in her mind: "Huh? Didn't they say the cafe was booked for private use? Why are there so many people on the first floor?"

Wow, they really booked the whole place! Let's go!

Private room? Jin Cha frowned, but those few thoughts had already faded away, drowned out by the growing clamor of voices downstairs.

Jin Cha, who was just about to ponder the implications of "booking out the entire venue," suddenly noticed something in the whispers downstairs that she couldn't ignore—

[I've already hunted 20 calamity beasts and five members of the Witch Guild this month. I'm going to advance to the inner sect, sister. This is my victory!]

[She probably doesn't know that I've already passed the inner sect assessment. Foolish little sister, I've won again.]

【Why do I always fail the inner sect assessment? Is the Disaster Management Bureau setting me up? I've retaken it 30 times and paid 3000 yuan, but I still can't pass. Is this assessment really that hard? Harder than a driver's license test? Does it mean I'm not worthy of entering the inner sect if I don't have a bit of luck?】

[Ugh, I really want to go home and play games. I should have brought my Steam frame over if I knew it would be this boring. Let's review this morning's ranked matches... Review my ass! They were completely disorganized and played like individual players. Why are these guys only good at teamwork when they surrender? Are you guys really at the King rank? Sigh, when it comes to teamwork, you have to look to our Qingyun Sect...]

Inner sect? Qingyun Sect?

[However, this mission was quite profitable; you could eat and drink for free at a place like this, and also get rewards and bonuses.]

[This is so delicious! The sect mission rewards include a free monthly card. If we choose this, it can become our Magic Card Band's exclusive gathering place. I'm going to come here every day to make videos, hehe.]

[A lot of disciples from both the outer and inner sects have come. Actually, this is just the sect finding an excuse for team building.]

Suddenly I felt a chill.

Private venue?

"Yes." Jin Cha finally realized.

This coffee shop has been booked by the Qingyun Sect, so who else could be in here besides her?

Qingyun Sect, do they have this many magical girls just in Beihai? Have I stumbled into a den of magical girls from Qingyun Sect? The noise downstairs is getting louder and louder, and it's almost impossible to tell how many magical girls there are.

What's even more unsettling is that the voices downstairs contain many unknown languages ​​that sound inhuman and feel even more terrifying than the North Sea Disaster Management Bureau!
Jin Cha told herself not to panic, but she didn't notice that the coffee in her cup, which was originally steaming, had formed a thin layer of ice.

Then, everything fell silent.

Not only the sound of voices, but also the unspoken thoughts, vanished from my ears in an instant.

All that remained was an endless chill.

When she came to her senses, the ice-blue magical girl was sitting opposite her, her posture elegant and composed, with a faint smile on her face, looking her over. "Hello, Miss Golden Tea."

The voice carried a strange chill, traveling from my ears all the way to my head and heart.

Jin Cha stared at her blankly, then steadied her breathing.

A new magical girl.

However, the sense of oppression is completely different.

The feeling of being covered in ice all over my body made me feel as if I were completely under her control.

Elegant and calm.

More importantly, there was that confidence that seemed to indicate that everything was under control.

A mature and elegant temperament, and the goals I pursue.

Jin Cha smiled. Now their personas were going to overlap, and what was even more terrifying was that she seemed to be inferior to the other person.

"Hello, Magical Girl Fuyu-kun?"

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

"It didn't take that long."

Jin Cha tilted her head, wanting to pick up her coffee and take a sip, but Dong Jun stopped her hand, saying, "If you don't like it, you don't have to drink it like this."

As he said this, he called over the waiter next to him, and soon a cup of hot milk was brought over.

"While half a cup of sugar can alleviate bitterness, it doesn't make the coffee taste better. Adding milk makes the texture smoother, and most importantly, it allows you to enjoy the aroma of the coffee without tasting the bitterness."

Dongjun personally added milk to her coffee, saying, "This might suit you better. Try it."

Jin Cha stirred the milk, took a sip, and found the mixture of cold coffee and hot milk to be lukewarm milk coffee. After taking another sip, she sighed and nodded, "It's really good."

But how did the other person figure out that you don't actually like coffee?
"Your actions and expressions will reveal your preferences. For example, when you pick up a coffee, your mouth twitches noticeably. If you don't like something, just don't drink it. If you really want to drink it, you can choose a way that suits you."

Jin Cha was stunned. She looked up at the ice-blue magical girl opposite her, who was still smiling. "You can hear my thoughts?"

“No, this is called Echo.” Dongjun didn’t hide anything and explained frankly, “Ice is like a mirror that can reflect light, so if it is developed properly, it can be used to create a spell that can reflect the abilities of others. I call it Echo. Your Echo is especially useful, especially during negotiations.”

"I'm sorry, I don't see any similarity between reflecting light and reflecting ability, or how they are related. I can't imagine how to develop reflecting ability using reflecting light..."

"Well, that's a secret of my Qingyun Sect," Dong Jun said with a faint smile. "If you're curious, you can join our Qingyun Sect and see for yourself." Jin Cha shook her head with a wry smile and sighed, but still maintained a calm expression. "I'm truly defeated by you. Are all the magical girls in the Qingyun Sect as powerful as you?"

“No.” Dongjun stirred his coffee. “There are many people who are better than me.”

"That's really frightening." Jin Cha crossed her arms, leaned forward slightly, and carefully examined Dong Jun's face. "But that's precisely why the Qingyun Sect seems reliable. You have such great power, yet you are still willing to coexist peacefully with the Beihai Disaster Prevention Bureau and protect the citizens."

"You didn't come to see me just to talk about this, did you?" Dong Jun didn't accept her flattery. "Our time is precious, and I hope Miss Jin Cha won't waste our patience."

I can no longer hear any of my inner thoughts.

She couldn't even hear the thoughts of the girls below.

This was the first time Jin Cha had negotiated and engaged in discussions without knowing what the other party was thinking.

“Alright, let’s get straight to the point.” Jin Cha gracefully added another piece of sugar to her coffee. Seeing Dong Jun’s frown across from her, she couldn’t help but smile. “As you said, I’ll do it my way.”

"Please."

“You’ve probably heard about the Heart Remnants lately. The Heart Remnants are the personal spaces left behind by the magical girls of Mankai. For the Disaster Management Bureau, they are the highest priority to deal with.” Jin Cha emphasized again, “They are a much higher priority than dealing with witches. We have been busy looking for solutions all this time.”

"You want the Qingyun Sect's help?"

“I don’t have that kind of authority,” Jin Cha explained, then continued, “However, if the Qingyun Sect is willing to enter the Heart Remnant and help deal with such a dangerous thing, Jin Cha will naturally be very grateful to you. After all, the Heart Remnant of the Full Bloom Magical Girl is very large, and if you are not careful, it could even overturn the world. Even if it is just to protect themselves, the Qingyun Sect may have no choice but to take action.”

Dong Jun smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"The main reason I'm here is to share some information about the mental image remnants with you."

Jin Cha downed the overly sweet coffee in one gulp. "Do you know about the Mirror Kingdom that once existed in South China?"

Dongjun seemed to remember something, and her expression changed slightly. "I've heard about it."

Although she noticed the change in the other person's expression, Jin Cha knew there was no need to change the subject. "The culprit that once paralyzed the South China region, caused a large number of people to leave their homes, and led to a sharp decline in economic development that has not yet recovered, the influence of the Mirror Kingdom still exists today."

This information is all classified by the Disaster Management Bureau. Although Dongjun has found some clues, he obviously still doesn't know the more specific details.

"Under the influence of the Mirror Kingdom, it is impossible to even produce calamity beasts. As a result, magical girls cannot be born in the South China region. We can only send magical girls from outside to provide support, but we are completely unable to stop the invasion of the Mirror Kingdom. At one point, they wanted to rule the entire South China region."

At this point, Jin Cha's expression became somewhat complicated. "Later, a magical girl, unable to bear it any longer, ventured deep into the Land of Mirrors and entered the realm of Mankai."

Dongjun's expression turned serious. "Is this the magical girl with the remnants of a mental image?"

“Yes, Magical Girl, Hibiscus.” Jin Cha continued, “She defeated the Mirror King of the Mirror Kingdom and sealed the entire Mirror Kingdom before disappearing forever. It took us a long time to confirm that the mental fragments that have appeared are those of the Magical Girl Hibiscus. She entered the Mankai Kingdom to save everyone in Hua Nan, and even gave up her life.”

"But in the end, the remaining mental images became huge hidden dangers and disasters."

"That's truly regrettable." Dongjun sighed regretfully. "But this information isn't important, is it? At least it's not worth your special trip."

After a moment of silence, Jin Cha finally spoke.

"The key to unlocking the sealed Mirror Kingdom lies within the remnants of the Heart Image, as the incubator of the magical girl Hibiscus herself said."

Dongjun paused in stirring his coffee, and his expression finally turned serious.

However, just as he was about to speak, a loud shout came from below from Qinghua.

"Waiter, waiter! This coffee is way too weak!"

A waiter quickly came over to reassure them, "Sorry, sir, this is Kopi Luwak, that's how it tastes."

"How can I drink something so bland? Add more shit to my drink!"

Jin Cha, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

Dongjun smiled helplessly, and then said:

"Understood, our Qingyun Sect will be careful."

"By the way, the Qingyun Sect's methods are too cruel, which has aroused considerable resentment and hostility. Many people feel that you are not magical girls enough." Jin Cha thought for a moment and still said, "After all, the Witch Association that has appeared now is no match for you. If your methods are a little gentler, it will be easier to gain the support of the people."

"Sorry, our Qingyun Sect isn't some magical girl organization." Dong Jun smiled slightly.
"We are cultivators, please don't expect us to act like magical girls."

……

The piercing screams outside gradually subsided, but the hyacinths, which were conducting experiments, remained silent.

Si Motu was still lying on the lab table, quietly conducting his experiments.

"Shouldn't we go save her?" Hyacinth asked while concentrating on injecting the medicine and performing the surgery. "Xilan, is she your companion?"

"No need."

Hearing Si Motu's emotionless voice, Hyacinth shook her head with some regret, "What a pitiful child, Xilan, who trusted you so much."

"Focus on your experiment."

Hyacinth didn't refute, but continued to modify the other person's body. "Why did you join the Witch's Guild?"

"It's best not to chat while doing experiments, right?"

"It's alright. I've done the complete witch experiment many times before, and it's not complicated. It's just time-consuming. You won't have any problems even with your eyes closed. Getting to know each other will be more beneficial for the experiment."

"Is there a single word of truth in your mouth?"

"What do you think?" Hyacinth chuckled, genuinely not feigning it. "I just wonder why someone with your strength would join the Witch's Guild?"

"I need power, I want to become stronger, but I can't become a magical girl, so I can only join the Witch Guild."

"That makes some sense."

Noticing that the other person paused slightly in their movements, Jiang Si frowned. "What's wrong?"

"Oh, sorry, I accidentally left the tweezers in your stomach."

"...Didn't you say it was okay to close your eyes?"

“It’s not necessarily the case if your eyes are open.” Hyacinth wasn’t embarrassed at all. “Let me take it out for you.”

"No need."

Jiang Si sat up. "These mere tweezers are nothing to my body; it can digest them."

Hyacinth, who had originally intended to make some demands, paused for a moment. "The human body cannot digest metal, Mr. Simotu."

“A well-trained body is not the same as another body.” Jiang Si looked at her with disdain, as if she were a country bumpkin. “You’d better brush up on your common sense.”

"I've never heard of such common sense." Hyacinth thought for a moment, but ultimately didn't untie the stitches, since the other party had already said so.

Then let's just leave it inside.

"However, your physical strength and pain tolerance have really exceeded my expectations. You didn't react at all to the surgery, which required pure magic enchantment to cut through the muscle, and without any anesthesia or medication. Hmm, how about this?"

He deliberately used a needle to prick a nerve—a technique that would make even the toughest man cry out in pain—but Si Motu let out a cold laugh, "Are you tickling me?"

The muscles were very relaxed, not even tense, and not a drop of sweat appeared on the forehead.

All the physiological reactions proved that the other person really did not feel any pain.

Incredible.

"Someone like you would be a bit of a waste to join the Witches."

Suddenly, the hyacinth seemed to remember something and asked, "Are you interested in the Mirror Kingdom?"

"Not interested in."

"The Witches' Guild is actually just a representative of the Mirror Kingdom. Much of their power comes from Alice in the Mirror Kingdom. If you want to be stronger and have more power, the Mirror Kingdom is a better choice."

"It doesn't feel as good as the Witch's Guild."

"You'll know after you try it."

"Shut up, let me be the complete witch."

Hyacinth didn't say anything.

Instead, they put down the scalpel and other tools that contained magic, because the other person's body was as hard as stone.

Without using magic to enhance it, it can't even be opened at all.

After packing up the props, I wiped away the bloodstains and took off my gloves.

"finished."

Hyacinth put her hands back into the pockets of her black coat and quietly watched Si Mo Tu sit up.

"how do you feel?"

Jiang Si got up and stretched.

This time, when the filthy magic flowed through my internal organs, it no longer brought any pain or rejection.

However, the corrupted magic itself did not experience a qualitative change.

"I'm not entirely sure; we need to find an opponent to test it out."

Hyacinth tilted her head. "There aren't any experimental opponents here, are there?"

"Isn't there one right here?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a fierce whip kick suddenly slammed into Hyacinth's head!

He instinctively reached out to block, and a crisp cracking sound came from his right arm. Then, with terrifying force, he was kicked away and crashed into the window with a loud "thud!"
Before Hyacinth could even react, another straight kick landed squarely on her abdomen!
It flew directly out of the window and fell towards the hyacinth at the bottom of the building, spitting blood as it painstakingly extracted its miracle seed.

"Sunset, dusk, afterglow."

"Listen to the final lament before nightfall."

The moment the invincible transformation frame disappeared, Si Mo Tu once again leaped out of the laboratory like a meteor, carrying terrifying power, and kicked the black magical girl in the head!
However, only ripples of water spread in front of the magical girl's head.

The next second, it was Si Motu's body that was launched out like a cannonball along the path he had just rushed out!
After bumping into the laboratory, it emerged from a window on the other side of the building and crashed into the lake in the center of the campus, splashing up a huge spray of water!
As the school alarms sounded and students and teachers screamed, the magical girl Hyacinth slowly landed.

With a wave of his hand, he used magic to catch the falling rubble and glass, protecting the teachers and students.

In a gentle tone: "Hitting me is like hitting yourself, Mr. Si Motu."

Amidst the splashing water, Jiang Si emerged from the bottom of the lake, her mask already half-shattered.

He casually took out a Seed of Lamentation, passed it through the mask, and placed it on the blood cross between his eyebrows.
