Why is My Magical Life in a Gal Art Style?

The loud noise naturally caught Lin Luo's attention. He reached out and pushed open the car window, looking towards the source of the commotion.

At the crossroads about twenty meters away, a crimson fireball about two meters in diameter was colliding violently with an ice-blue cone half a meter wide.

With a deafening roar, a dazzling magical light shone ahead, and the shockwave from the explosion surged in all directions, raising clouds of dust.

However, before the astonishing noise could subside, another violent collision rang out.

The billowing smoke and dust were immediately dispersed.

The sight in the distance made Lin Luo's eyelids twitch.

The asphalt road in the explosion's epicenter was completely destroyed, with wide cracks in the ground, rubble scattered everywhere, and reddish-yellow soil exposed, still emitting hot white steam.

Several cars were too close to the battle site, and their windows were almost completely shattered in the impact. Even the car bodies and hoods suffered varying degrees of impact, resulting in dents and damage.

Two magic enforcement officers, dressed in dark blue uniforms, looked ahead with serious expressions.

The three figures opposite, clad in wide black robes, were releasing terrifying magical energy.

"It's... the Magic Enforcement Team!" On the bus, a passenger recognized the blue uniform, his voice carrying a hint of awe.

"Who are those guys in black robes? How did they get into a conflict with the magic enforcement team?"

"Judging by his attire, he looks like one of those heretical sorcerers reported on the news channel."

"Shh... Keep your voices down, are you out of your minds?!"

"I've never heard of heretical sorcerers attacking ordinary people, so what are you afraid of?"

Upon hearing these words, Lin Luo felt a sense of foreboding. News reports about heretical magicians that he had previously read began to flood his mind.

Heretical magicians can be simply understood as terrorists among magicians.

This group frequently vandalizes branches of the Mage's Guild, causing significant disruption to social order.

Of course, this is a news report.

Lin Luo was still unclear about the specifics, as this was the first time he had encountered a heretical magician in reality.

Recalling the battle he had just witnessed between the magic enforcement team and the heretical magician, Lin Luo felt somewhat puzzled.

Undeniably, the battle scene was much more exaggerated than the splendid performance at the opening ceremony, but somehow the destructive power of these mages seemed... just so-so?

"It feels like a minor skirmish."

After observing for a while, Lin Luo lost interest and turned his attention back to the game interface.

The battles between these mages don't feel as good as... a Galgame.

Although Lin Luo no longer paid attention to the battle in the distance, the eyes of the other passengers in the carriage did not leave him.

That's enough!

"You three heretical magicians, why aren't you surrendering? Cooperate with law enforcement, and you'll receive a lighter sentence!"

The stern shouts of the magic enforcement officers resounded through the sky, and even though Lin Luo's bus was almost twenty meters away from them, they could hear it very clearly.

However, the three heretical magicians did not answer, but only focused on gathering magic power.

At the moment when the magical power had accumulated to its limit, the three heretical mages shot out, their target naturally being the two magic enforcement officers.

The two magic enforcement officers were clearly much stronger, and they held their own against the three heretical magicians who surrounded them.

In the heat of the battle, one of the magic enforcement officers even injured a heretical magician.

The injured heretic mage's movements were noticeably slower, and the magic enforcement team seized this opening, raising their hands to unleash a solid wind pressure cannon.

"Bang!!"

The heretical magician was struck in the chest by the wind pressure, and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. His body was sent flying backward like a cannonball by the terrifying impact.

"boom!"

Another loud crash followed as the windshield of the bus Lin Luo was on was shattered by the oncoming black shadow, sending shards of glass flying everywhere.

As the black figure crashed straight into the aisle of the bus, the previously noisy carriage fell into a deathly silence.

Staring blankly at the figure lying on the ground, dressed in a black robe and wearing a silver mask, the passengers on the bus gradually showed expressions of fear.

"Yes, he's a heretical magician!"

"Driver, open the door! I need to get off!"

"Open the door! Open the door! I want to get off too!"

The passengers, who were chatting and laughing just moments before, could hardly keep their composure under pressure at this moment.

Good heavens, this is a terrifying heretical magician!

The bus driver snapped out of his daze and hurriedly reached out with trembling hands to open the door.

Before the passengers in the carriage could even get off, the heretical magician, who had fallen heavily into the aisle, had already struggled to his feet.

The heretical sorcerer's black robe was torn in several places by shards of glass from the car window, revealing what appeared to be a similarly dark, tight-fitting bodysuit underneath.

Beneath the plain white mask, without any patterns, lay a pair of eyes filled with a hint of coldness and urgency.

His gaze swept quickly across the carriage, and through his powerful mental energy, the heretical mage clearly sensed that some of the passengers were magic apprentices, while others were not even magic apprentices.

Suddenly, the heretical magician's gaze fell on the little girl next to Lin Luo.

Before the little girl could react, the heretical sorcerer grabbed her arm and lifted her up like a chick.

"Wow—Mommy!!"

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone; the little girl's terrified cries sent chills down everyone's spines.

"Xiao Lian!"

The little girl's mother, sitting in the back row, instinctively tried to rush forward, but was blocked by the magician's mental power and could not get an inch forward.

Seeing this, the other passengers in the car quickly lowered their heads. No one dared to make a move or look, as no one wanted to be the next unlucky victim.

Lin Luo, who witnessed the little girl being lifted up by the heretical magician, felt no emotional fluctuation.

Lin Luo wasn't the type to meddle in other people's business, and besides, the current situation was beyond the capabilities of a newly enrolled high school student like him.

The little girl's heart-wrenching cries were really...so noisy!

BYD, you've disturbed my playtime in the corner and made me lose track of time!

Lin Luo jumped to his feet: "oioioi!"

The heretical sorcerer holding the little girl paused noticeably, his eyes beneath the mask turning to Lin Luo with a hint of surprise.

"Let go of that little girl, come at me!"

"?" The heretical mage looked Lin Luo up and down.

The boy in front of me isn’t even a magic apprentice. Judging from his clothes, he should be a high school student.

"It's obviously inconvenient to hold a struggling and crying child hostage. Why don't you hold me hostage instead?"

Upon hearing Lin Luo's words, the heretical mage's mind went completely blank.

Why don't you listen to what you're saying?

"Ugh, this is so slow."

Seeing that the heretical mage did not react, Lin Luo reached out and snatched the little girl from the mage's hands, then threw her into her mother's arms.

Then, under the almost blank stare of the heretical mage, Lin Luo lifted the heretical mage's hand and let it rest on his shoulder.

"I don't understand, why—"

Lin Luo was just about to say something when he was interrupted by the heretical magician.

"Shut up, don't move."

The heretical magician deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound somewhat hoarse.

But Lin Luo, who had played countless visual novels, was certain that this heretical magician was a woman.

"If you cooperate with me, I promise I won't hurt you," the heretical mage said again.

Lin Luo: "???"

Is this still a villain's line?

At times like this, shouldn't the villains let out a "hehehe" laugh, mock their overestimation of their abilities, and then show off their power?

Why aren't you following the usual procedure?

Since you're so polite, then I... Lin Luo quietly clenched the magic class badge in his left hand.

How am I supposed to convincingly complete my first act of showing off as a time traveler?

Sigh, I just can't do anything with you!

Lin Luo shrugged: "Wandering."

"Get off the bus with me."
