Why is My Magical Life in a Gal Art Style?

The illumination spell thrown by the silver-haired girl was initially just a faint spot of light.

In that instant, the small point of light expanded into a huge sphere of light.

A burst of pure white light erupted, the darkness receded, and the colors that had just appeared were stripped away in the pervasive white radiance.

The abandoned factory area was as bright as day, severely stimulating Honglian's visual nerves.

Although Honglian closed her eyes quickly enough, a pure white expanse remained before her eyes.

"hateful!"

Honglian covered her eyes with both hands, and the firestorm lost control, beginning to collapse and dissipate.

The silver-haired girl, who was casting the spell, seemed to be immune to the dazzling light. She took a step forward, her figure covering a distance of dozens of meters, and appeared in front of Honglian in an instant.

Honglian's vision was completely deprived, and the stinging pain in her eyes made it impossible for her to concentrate. As a result, she could only sense a blurry magical fluctuation in front of her.

"General."

The silver-haired girl clenched her right fist and delivered a straight punch to Honglian's soft abdomen.

Although it wasn't a full-force attack, the power carried by the punch was enough to render Honglian unable to fight.

"cough--"

Spit dripped from Honglian's mouth, her body contorted into a shrimp-like shape, and she flew backward along the ground, finally crashing hard into the corrugated iron wall of the abandoned factory, kicking up billowing dust.

Honglian, who was kneeling on the ground, was clutching her lower abdomen and coughing violently. It was clear that the outcome of the sparring match was already decided.

Lin Luo transformed back into an ordinary high school student in his school uniform, then slowly walked to Hong Lian and knelt down:

"Can you still stand up?"

"Yes." Honglian tried to open her eyes, but her vision was still blurry; she could only make out Lin Luo's general outline. "Just now, what... what happened to you?"

"It seems I've won this sparring match." Lin Luo didn't answer her question. "As agreed, you have to grant me one request."

Honglian struggled to stand up, but the sharp pain in her abdomen made her kneel back down.

In the end, Lin Luo reached out and helped her up, letting her lean against the dented iron wall.

"What are the conditions?" Honglian asked, panting.

"I want you to join me," Lin Luo said calmly.

"...Huh?" Honglian was stunned for a moment, even forgetting the pain in her abdomen. "Join you? What do you mean? Didn't you already agree to join our church?"

"These are two different things." Lin Luo shook his head. "I can join the Heretical Mage Church, since I am indeed short of money right now, but at the same time I also want to create an organization of my own, and you are the first member I have chosen."

Honglian did not rush to respond, but stood quietly in place for a long time.

Honglian opened her eyes only after her vision gradually returned, and then she saw the serious expression on Lin Luo's face.

This is not a joke, nor is it a spur-of-the-moment decision; Lin Luo is actually considering creating an organization.

"Why...why did you create this organization?" Honglian couldn't help but ask. "To fight against the Magic Association? Or is it...?"

"It's out of interest," Lin Luo thought for a moment. "The organization I created could be for researching magic together, exploring this world, or simply to gather a group of like-minded people."

"No matter how you put it, it all comes down to my unease about this world. The Magic Association, the heretical magicians' church, the vague division of realms, the crude magic system... it makes me think about all sorts of things."

Honglian looked up at the dark sky, where rain was falling.

Amidst the pattering sounds, Honglian suddenly spoke: "Do you know why I joined the Heretical Church of Magicians?"

Lin Luo didn't say anything, he just shook his head.

"Because of my parents." Honglian's voice seemed to carry a hint of anger: "They were both magicians and used to work in the research department of the Magicians' Association. Eight years ago, they were arrested for an unapproved magical innovation experiment, but less than half a month later, the association announced that they had died unexpectedly in prison due to illness."

"My parents were healthy and were magicians, how could they suddenly die of illness? I can't accept that. I sought an investigation, but all I got was evidence that seemed to me to be fabricated!"

"Later I joined the church, not because I believed in them, but because... the church was the only organization that dared to openly question the Mage's Guild."

"You might be right, something really is wrong with this world." Honglian took a deep breath, as if to calm herself down. "The Magic Association is strange, which is why I didn't go to high school."

"I accepted your invitation because I have so many things I want to figure out and understand."

Lin Luo nodded and extended a hand: "Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate."

The two shook hands briefly before Lin Luo reminded him, "But let's make this clear first, you need to figure out how to get me a salary from the Heretical Mage Church. I'm really short on money right now."

"I guess you could say it's fate? We're both orphans."

red lotus:"……"

Why do I suddenly have this urge to hit someone?

But when she thought of the terrifying power Lin Luo had just displayed, she chose to follow her heart.

"Well, if you're only joining the church because you're short of money, then I think you might as well give up." Honglian thought carefully before saying in a deep voice, "Actually... my family is quite wealthy. I've hired someone to help manage all that money and assets. Since our organization is just starting out, I can easily allocate some funds to get the organization running."

Lin Luo decided to be polite, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Just think of this money as me buying a position, okay?" Honglian pursed her lips. "Give me a deputy leader position, no problem, right? So you really don't need to join the church for money."

"Since you've put it this way, I have no reason to refuse. Let's make it a deal then. Let's exchange contact information."

Honglian took out her phone, got Lin Luo's number, and then pointed to the car in the distance, saying, "I'll take you home first."

on the way home.

Honglian gripped the steering wheel, her eyes fixed on the road ahead, and asked, "Your lighting technique... can I learn it?"

"Isn't illumination magic just basic magic? Anyone can learn it." Lin Luo gave Hong Lian a strange look.

"You consider your illumination spell a basic magic spell?"

"Of course it counts, why wouldn't it?"

"...You know that's not what I meant."

Lin Luo paused, then suddenly spoke with a deep expression: "If you have enough love for illumination magic, I think you can also achieve the same effect as me."

The Illumination spell gazes intently at you; deep down, she believes that your love for the Illumination spell is genuine.

[The previous battle was so intense, and under those circumstances, you still chose to use such a basic spell as her to defeat a powerful mage.]

[I highly approve of your lighting techniques.]
