Why is My Magical Life in a Gal Art Style?

Silently enduring Lin Luo's intrigued gaze, Honglian pursed her lips: "If you don't come with me, I'll knock you out and take you away!"

"I'm serious! I'm a powerful mage, and my attacks can really hurt!"

Honglian was clearly making threats, but her body betrayed her by taking a half-step back.

"No, what are you, a magician, afraid of?" Lin Luo really wanted to ask, but he stopped himself in the end.

Seeing that Lin Luo didn't respond, Honglian spoke again: "Just tell me if you agree or not!"

"As for the salary and benefits... I don't think it's good enough." Lin Luo was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.

He is indeed short of money.

I am able to attend high school now thanks to the inheritance my parents left me.

However, this inheritance is really too little.

Lin Luo's schooling costs money, and his younger sister's schooling also costs money, in addition to various other miscellaneous expenses.

If I don't find a way to make money, then I'll have no choice but to drop out of school and work as a laborer, just like before.

Now that he's found a well-paying job, Lin Luo has no reason to miss it. But the problem is, joining this heretical magician's church seems quite risky, especially if it's only 10,000 yuan...

"The salary is negotiable. For example, we can raise it to 20,000 per month." Honglian thought Lin Luo was interested, so she quickly offered.

Seeing Honglian's anxious look, Lin Luo suddenly had an idea. It seemed that the salary was negotiable.

So Lin Luo calmly replied, "The salary is still too low, I refuse."

"You possess a talent for magical transformation; you should be able to earn 50,000 per month!"

"But then again!"

Lin Luo held up one finger: "Let me emphasize, I'm not after that little bit of salary."

"Since you're so eager for me to join your church, how about we have a friendly spar before that?"

"A sparring match? With me?" Honglian's eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape. "Do you even know what you're talking about?"

"I'm a magician, a magician who's only eighteen years old! Do you know what that means? It means I'm a genius!"

"And you're only eighteen, not even a magic apprentice... For you to challenge me is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, utterly overestimating your own abilities!"

Lin Luo's expression remained unchanged as he said to himself, "If you beat me, I'll join you. But if you lose... you'll have to agree to one condition."

Seeing that Lin Luo seemed to be serious, Honglian fell silent. She could sense that Lin Luo wasn't just talking big.

This guy definitely has something to rely on.

Otherwise, the way he was held hostage earlier, and the domineering attitude he displayed just now... would be too illogical.

but……

Honglian stared intently at Lin Luo, wondering what kind of reliance he had that could give a high school student who wasn't even a magic apprentice the confidence to defeat a magician.

and many more!

A sudden inspiration flashed in Honglian's mind.

Is this what they call "saying one thing but meaning another"?

Yes, that must be it!

Lin Luo might have been tempted for a while, but his pride as a boy made him too embarrassed to agree directly, so he deliberately suggested sparring with him.

So, after all this, you're trying to use losing to me as a stepping stone to smoothly join the organization?!

Hajilin, you bastard...

"I see, I understand now."

Honglian straightened her chest, a confident smile appearing on her lips. "Since you want to do it this way... then I promise you, in order not to make you lose too badly, I will go easy on you."

Lin Luo: "?"

Although I don't know what this guy is imagining, as long as the other party agrees, that's fine.

"Lin Luo, you have to keep your word. If I win, you have to join the church."

"Wait, how did you know my name?"

"I overheard you chatting with that law enforcer using a special magical device."

"..." Lin Luo looked at Hong Lian in surprise.

Special magical artifact?

Lin Luo had glanced at this thing in the magic section before.

I've heard that special magical artifacts are extremely rare and each one is very expensive.

Is the other party a wealthy woman?

"Of course I keep my word," Lin Luo shrugged. He didn't care whether he won or lost.

"it is good."

Honglian didn't hesitate any longer and readily agreed.

Hmph, a genius like me who became a magician at eighteen, how could I possibly lose?

Use whatever you have up your sleeve or trump card, and see if I can beat you.

"There's an abandoned factory in the suburbs over there." Lin Luo pointed to a spot outside the window: "There's no one there, let's go there and come back as soon as possible."

"elbow!"

Before leaving, Lin Luo sent a text message to her sister, roughly saying that she would be back a little late and that if she was hungry, she should order takeout.

After sending the message, Lin Luo put his phone in his pocket.

"Let's go out and get a taxi."

"Take a taxi?" Honglian looked at Lin Luo blankly. "Why take a taxi? Why don't we drive there?"

"..."

……

It gets dark early in Seongsan City.

It looks like it's going to rain tonight; the moon is obscured by thick, dark clouds.

The abandoned factory area stands on the edge of the city, and few people come here even during the day, let alone at this dark night.

"This is it."

Lin Luo got out of Hong Lian's car and looked around. He could still smell the stale smell of rust and engine oil in the air.

Honglian followed Lin Luo, her black tracksuit clinging to her body in the night wind.

Looking up at the sky, Honglian's eyes flickered as she asked, "Are you sure this is the place?"

"There aren't many people here during the day, let alone at night, so isn't this a perfect place for a sparring match?"

"Fine, darkness doesn't affect me anyway." Honglian cast a night vision spell on herself.

Night vision technology grants the ability to see at night, making it indistinguishable from bright daytime.

Furthermore, night vision is one of the basic spells, requiring very little mental or magical energy.

Lin Luo glanced at Hong Lian, his right hand already subtly gripping the magic profession badge in his pocket.

"Ready?" Honglian stepped back, gradually increasing the distance to about twenty meters before stopping. "I'll go easy on you. Use whatever tricks you have up your sleeve..."

"Since you've put it that way, why should I be polite with you?"

Lin Luo smiled slightly, then clenched the magic profession badge in his hand tightly.

[Career Creation Mode, easy-to-use program to start.]

[Use your imagination to infuse the characteristics, settings, and structure of the magical class you wish to create into the magic badge using your mental power.]

Please note that once a magic class is created, it cannot be reverted.

The world lost its color once again, and time, unsurprisingly, stopped moving forward.

The originally dark night, everything, faded into a pure white-gray at this moment.
