Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

The wind howled in through the window, carrying a slightly cool atmosphere into the classroom.

Wang Jian's voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear and steady, reaching the ears of everyone in the classroom.

Students who were diligently taking notes stopped writing; those who had been daydreaming also looked up.

Chu Ge slowly emerged from his meditative state, his crimson eyes flickering with firelight.

All eyes were on Wang Jian, waiting quietly for his next words.

Without any hesitation, Wang Jian announced directly: "After discussion among the school leadership, in order to enhance the fun of learning magic, a week-long magic study tour will be launched starting tomorrow."

Upon hearing the words "study tour," many students immediately sat up straight, their eyes gleaming with keen interest.

Wang Jian continued, "We will all travel together by bus from the school, and on the first day we will go to the East China Sea Magic Association to learn more about the origins and evolution of magic."

"The next day, we will arrive at the Monster Research Center in Dachang City, a neighboring province, to see all the known monsters and learn their habits, characteristics, and fatal weaknesses."

"The third stop is the Provincial Demon Hunting Bureau, where we experienced a full day of training for demon hunters."

"On the fourth day, we will go out with the demon-hunting team to carry out a mission, face real demons, and experience the real combat environment firsthand."

As soon as he finished speaking, a slight commotion arose in the classroom.

Some students looked hesitant, secretly worried about their own lack of ability and concerned that actual combat might cause safety issues;

Meanwhile, many boys had bright eyes and excited faces, already looking forward to the moment when they could show off their skills, and there were even sporadic cheers in the classroom.

"On the fifth day, we will travel to the more distant Magic Plant Research Center to learn about the various spiritual herbs and medicines that have evolved and been born along with the restoration of magic power." Wang Jian paused and added, "After school today, everyone should pack your personal belongings as soon as possible and meet at the school gate at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to depart on time."

His gaze swept across the class, and immediately a student raised their hand high: "Teacher, you said the study tour will last for a week, what's the plan for the remaining two days?"

"Yeah, there are still two days left!" The other students chimed in, their eyes full of curiosity.

A mysterious smile played on Wang Jian's lips as he slowly uttered, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed; you will know in due time."

Everyone fell silent for a moment, silently thinking: Teacher, who taught you to keep us in suspense like this?!

After enduring the last few tedious classes, Chu Ge followed the crowd out of the school gate and headed home.

As she passed a scallion pancake stall, the rich aroma wafted over, and the girl's stomach immediately rumbled, a wave of hunger washing over her.

She gets hungry around this time of year; it's her routine. If she doesn't eat, she'll probably faint from hunger again, just like when she was a child.

"Boss, eight, please..." Chu Ge had barely finished speaking when he immediately changed his mind, "No, ten deluxe scallion pancakes."

"Ten? Can you finish them all?" The stall owner, a young man, was focused on making pancakes and asked casually, his words muffled.

"If you can finish it, feel free to make more," Chu Ge replied calmly. She had heard this question countless times before; whenever she bought a large amount of food, the stall owners would always ask her this, and she was already used to it.

In the food street next to her residential area, she became well-known to many shops because of her outstanding appearance and amazing appetite. She even earned the nickname "white-haired gluttonous girl" and people always asked her why she could eat so much without gaining weight.

"Okay." The young man agreed, and with the desire to make money in mind, he worked even faster.

He couldn't help but look up, wanting to see who could eat so much. One glance from them left him speechless, stunned into silence.

"You are... the white-haired, vicious girl?"

"You know me?" Chu Ge clutched his empty stomach, his eyes, which had been closed in concentration, suddenly opened.

Not many people know this name.

She took a closer look at the stall owner in front of her: the man was slightly older than her, had a neat buzz cut, and was wearing a high-necked garment, seemingly to cover the tattoo on his neck.

She had no recollection of this person.

But the person who can call out this name is most likely a thug or scoundrel she taught a lesson to in the past.

The blond-haired stall owner realized that Chu Ge no longer remembered him, so he opened his mouth, pointed to his front teeth, and said with a wry smile, "Look, this front tooth of mine was knocked out by you."

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Chu Ge pondered for a moment, vaguely recalling this matter, and nodded slightly.

"...Your scallion pancake is ready."

"Thanks."

Chu Ge carried the package of scallion pancakes as she walked along the street bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun. A gentle breeze stirred her white hair, causing strands to intertwine and swirl.

She took a bite of the scallion pancake and thought it tasted pretty good. She muttered to herself, "Strange... I seem to remember that only one person had one front tooth knocked out back then."

"never mind."

Perhaps it's two, after all, she never holds back when she strikes, just like the raging lotus.

Not long after Chu Ge left, two figures stood in the spot where she had just been.

Xu Wan looked at Tang Xiaoran, who was standing dejectedly beside her, patted her shoulder firmly, and comforted her:

"Hajiran, stop thinking about those unhappy things. It's just a 100,000-word self-criticism, isn't it?"

"...Although your cousin won't write it for you, she'll treat you to a deluxe scallion pancake!"

She turned to the stall owner: "Boss, four deluxe scallion pancakes."

"I'm not hungry, you eat by yourself." Tang Xiaoran gently shook her head, her heart filled with worry, and she had no appetite at all.

She was constantly worried that Chu Ge would be harassed by Chu Hong again after returning home.

After all, the two are siblings living under the same roof. What if Chu Hong does something outrageous?

"Okay!" the stall owner replied, surprised that business was booming on his first day of setting up his stall, he was very lucky.

But as he finished making the scallion pancake and looked up to hand it over, he froze again, exclaiming in disbelief:

"You are... the black-haired, vicious girl!"

……

When Chu Ge returned home, he found his parents there, but both of them looked solemn and their brows were full of worry.

Chu's father was sitting silently on the sofa when he saw Chu Ge enter the room, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on his face: "Little Ge is back."

"My precious daughter!"

Chu's mother's eyes lit up, and she quickly stepped forward, hugging Chu Ge tightly and nuzzling her cheek affectionately. "You've become even more fragrant and softer! Mommy loves you so much!"

Chu Ge felt helpless, but he let his mother be affectionate for a moment, secretly wondering what kind of special ritual this was.

"How about we let Xiaoge try to persuade Xiaohong?"

Mr. Chu looked at Mrs. Chu, his face showing worry again. "That child might listen to Xiao Ge and always lock himself in his room without saying a word. That's not a solution either."

Around noon, they received a call from a teacher at No. 2 Middle School, who told them that Chu Hong was feeling down because of his defeat in the competition and wanted to rest at home, so they immediately drove to pick him up.

Throughout the journey, no matter how they tried to comfort him, Chu Hong remained silent, and once home, he locked himself in his room.

"Xiao Ge, your brother lost his match and is in a bad mood. He's locked himself in his room for half a day. Can you go and talk to him?" Chu's mother looked at Chu Ge and asked her opinion softly.

Chu Ge was slightly surprised after hearing this.

She hadn't expected Tang Xiaoran's slap to be so powerful, shattering Chu Hongdao's heart.

Such talent is indeed suited to practicing the Heart-Rending Palm.

Seeing the worried looks on her parents' faces, Chu Ge sighed silently and replied softly, "I'll go see him."

She walked to Chu Hong's room, raised her hand and knocked lightly. Just as she was about to speak, the door clicked open from the inside.

Chu Hong stood at the door, smiling brightly and full of energy, showing no sign of dejection or depression.

Chu's parents were stunned. Just a moment ago, he had been silent and depressed. How did he suddenly return to normal?

Chu Ge looked at him indifferently: "Are you alright?"

"It's alright now!" the boy said with a grin. "I felt better as soon as I heard Imo-chan's footsteps coming back."

"...Okay." Chu Ge gave him a deep look, then turned and walked back to her room.

Not far away, Chu's parents exchanged a glance, both wondering: Is that all?

It was one in the morning, and the night was deep and quiet.

Chu Hong hid under the covers, looking through the photos he had secretly taken of Chu Ge over and over again. Although they were just everyday things like eating and drinking, he looked at them with a fascination in his eyes.

Suddenly, his nose twitched slightly as he caught a whiff of a familiar jasmine scent, so close it seemed to be right at the doorway.

He sprang up from the bed instantly, not even having time to put on his shoes, and quickly got out of bed to open the door.

Outside the door stood a white-haired girl, Chu Ge, who was staring coldly at him.

A delighted smile immediately bloomed on Chu Hong's face, but the next second, his gaze fell on Chu Ge's right hand—

There, a thick baseball bat was prominently displayed.

...Huh?

"Imo-chan?"

The smile on the boy's face froze instantly.
