Starting with "The Demonic Cultivation," I had no choice but to pretend to be a magical gi

The girl was wearing the iconic beige suit uniform of Huacheng International School, paired with a dark plaid pleated skirt.

The well-tailored uniform accentuated her almost excessively slender waist, and her long, flaxen hair was casually draped over her shoulders, shimmering softly in the sunlight.

If an ordinary person saw this, they would probably just sigh and say, "What a beautiful picture of a serene and peaceful life."

However, in Gu Yun's eyes, it was a completely different story.

Lin Zhixia held a thick book in her hands, but her beautiful wine-red eyes were not focused on the words at all. Her gaze looked somewhat unfocused, and she was obviously daydreaming.

Although she sat upright, her fingers unconsciously twisted the hem of her skirt, making the fabric full of wrinkles.

"Isn't this that typical runaway heiress with a tragic past, full of resentment?"

Gu Yun paused slightly, his eyes sharpening.

He quickly adjusted his position, using a large tree next to him to block most of his body, only peeking out a small part of his head to observe secretly.

"It seems it's just a coincidence... not that my identity has been exposed."

After a brief observation, Gu Yun gave his judgment.

He touched his chin, his expression relaxing slightly, as if he were deep in thought.

"I knew it! My disguise was flawless, and my counter-surveillance awareness was unparalleled. How could I possibly be exposed so easily?"

The nightingale saw it too, and was now somewhat puzzled.

"Is this the little girl from last night? What's she doing here?"

This doesn't make sense; Nightingale doesn't think the convenience store's wages can cover the tuition fees here.

"You don't understand, do you? A girl with such delicate skin and fair skin is obviously spoiled by a wealthy family. So it's not particularly surprising that I guessed she was a rich girl and that she would be a student here."

Not all rich people are good-looking, but most good-looking people are rich, since skincare products and such are not cheap.

Gu Yun's guesses weren't random; they were all based on reference materials and theoretical evidence.

"This is a classic example of a wealthy family feud. Just think about it: the mother mysteriously disappears, and the father is either obsessed with work and doesn't care about anything, or he brings home a wicked stepmother."

"Then, in order to find the truth, the girl resolutely ran away from home and went into hiding. She struggled in the lower rungs of society, just so that one day she could uncover that bloody truth."

He knew this situation inside and out, and he could explain it in great detail.

"You don't actually think that everything I told her before was just a way to fool her, do you?"

Gu Yun was somewhat suspicious.

The nightingale's voice sounded somewhat guilty.

"Haha, how could that be? I trust you completely..."

So you basically believe that too, right?

Gu Yun didn't care about these things, but just clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Look at her now. Although she is in a prestigious private school and surrounded by the laughter of her peers, she still seems like a ghost detached from the world."

This stark contrast, this atmosphere of loneliness... it's practically a tailor-made debut template for becoming a magical girl!

As for why, even after running away from home and ending up working at a convenience store, he was still able to attend a prestigious private school.

All I can say is that those who know, know; and those who don't, don't ask too many questions.

Don't you see that the great emperor next door also had to travel far to the Central Plains and occupy the Yangtai Terrace?

As if sensing something, Lin Zhixia suddenly came to her senses, raised her head, and looked around warily.

Gu Yun had already retreated behind the tree trunk before she could even look up.

He leaned against the rough tree bark, his tone revealing a hint of relief.

"This child is teachable. It seems last night's lesson was very effective; he's become much more vigilant."

Nightingale's lips twitched, and she finally blurted out her complaint.

"I think she simply realized she was spacing out."

Gu Yun turned a deaf ear to this.

Not my kind of voice, I refuse.

Gu Yun had no intention of using his identity to acknowledge the other party.

When she's in disguise, she's a magical girl; when she takes off the disguise, she's a model student. You can't mix them up. You have to do what your identity entails.

Moreover, he is just an ordinary placement student, while she is the young lady of Huacheng International High School. There is a clear difference in their social status.

Even though he, as a placement student, was among the top ten in his grade at Huacheng High School, while the local rich girl had fallen to the bottom of the social hierarchy by working at a convenience store, it was still the same.

Rules are rules, they weren't just made today.

Rushing over to strike up a conversation will inevitably arouse suspicion of ulterior motives, and you will then be drawn into a series of incidents similar to those of persistent suitors who are unable to win your heart, attracting a lot of unnecessary attention.

This is something Gu Yun absolutely cannot accept.

He knew his identity was something that couldn't be revealed, so he always maintained a low profile and didn't attract attention.

"Opportunities only come once. The kind of behavior that attracts attention should be in ways that help me to disguise myself, not in these trivial matters."

Maintaining a clean resume is something Gu Yun has always been doing.

"Gu Yun".

Nightingale suddenly spoke, interrupting his train of thought.

"Although I don't really want to get involved in these matters, the little girl's aura is very chaotic. She is very anxious, and it could even be described as fear."

"Being afraid is justified."

Gu Yun turned around and looked again at the girl who had lowered her head and whose shoulders were trembling slightly.

"After all, you're going to infiltrate the Magical Girl Association, which may have killed your mother. It would be abnormal not to feel fear."

He immediately looked away, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to walk in another direction.

"Let's go. Although there were some unexpected factors, the plan should be fine, and we can proceed to the next step."

Gu Yun has always felt a great sense of urgency.

Behind him, Lin Zhixia, sitting on a bench, finally managed to compose herself and manage not to shed tears at school.

Then, just then, I saw a boy wearing a school uniform from another school, whose back view seemed strangely familiar, disappear from sight.

The girl with long flaxen hair frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled, but didn't think much of it.

After all, I've been working at a convenience store recently and have met all sorts of people. Maybe it's a customer I've seen before.

The thick book in her hand hadn't been turned in a long time.

The phone screen on my lap was lit up, playing a popular video of a mysterious magical girl beating up a demon.

Although the video is quite shaky and the image quality is rather poor, the figure with his back to the camera waving and unleashing a barrage of light blades is still so clear that it sends chills down one's spine.

"Wind chimes..."

Lin Zhixia murmured the name, her expression somewhat lost in thought.
