After get off work, I become a magical girl

"What's wrong?"

Xia Liang was a little surprised, and then he took a sip of noodles, and then his expression became subtle: "...Ah, no salt?"

"Why is it a question?" Lin Xiaolu knocked on the edge of the bowl in annoyance.

"Because I did it so quickly, I even forgot what I did..." Xia Liang pursed his lips.

Lin Xiaolu was silent for a moment, and finally put down the chopsticks in her hand: "Behead!"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

On the side, Bai Jingxuan silently watched the interaction between the two. After eating the noodles with a blank expression, she suddenly said, "Come to think of it, Sister Hong hasn't come yet? It's already much later than usual."

“It’s probably a work-related issue.”

She found a few cans of pickles from the refrigerator and said nonchalantly, "If you don't want to come, then don't come."

"Don't say that. At least she has dinner prepared for her. Why don't you send her a message and ask her?"

As Xia Liang said this, he opened his phone, edited the message, and sent it to Hong Siyu. After a while, the phone vibrated, obviously receiving a reply.

"What did she say?" Lin Xiaolu asked.

"Let me see……"

Xia Liang swiped the screen of his phone: "She said she might not be able to come tonight because she has to work overtime."

"Why?" Lin Xiaolu lowered her head and dealt with the bottle cap of pickles.

——"Is it because of the recent exam of the Strategy Bureau?"

——"She said that the Strategy Bureau will hold a recruitment exam soon, and she wants to help set the questions."

Two voices sounded almost at the same time, but they came from two different people.

Xia Liang read out the contents of the text message, but found that he was not the only one speaking. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw Bai Jingxuan saying something similar at the same time.

"Does Xiaoxuan know?" She asked with some confusion after putting down her phone.

"Yes."

Bai Jingxuan nodded: "Because someone I know told me about it."

"Who? Someone from the welfare home?"

"She's a caregiver at the welfare home."

Bai Jingxuan lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "Sisters should have seen him before."

"Have we seen him?" Xia Liang tilted his head.

"It was the time when some bad guys came to the welfare home to cause trouble." Bai Jingxuan continued to explain, "The uncle who was with me at the time was him."

"I seem to have some impression?" Lin Xiaolu said, tapping her chin.

"It's that rude guy!" Mo Ke, who was sitting behind Bai Jingxuan, said with his arms folded.

"Well, I met him when I went back to the welfare home before, so we had a brief chat."

Bai Jingxuan nodded: "He said that he is preparing for an exam recently. If he passes, he will not come to work at the welfare home anymore."

"Is the work at the Strategy Bureau good?" Lin Xiaolu finally opened the pickle jar in her hand, placed it on the table, and looked at Bai Jingxuan: "From what you said, it seems that the exam to work at the Strategy Bureau is very difficult?"

What I got was silence.

Because whether it was Bai Jingxuan or Xia Liang, they both looked at her as if she were an alien creature.

"Don't you usually listen to what Sister Hong says at all?"

Soon, Xia Liang was the first to explain: "The Strategy Bureau is the best job for ordinary magicians!"

"The best job? It's obviously just helping a group of people repairing the city?" Lin Xiaolu blinked.

"I am still responsible for managing the magic side personnel other than the remaining beasts and magical girls."

Xia Liang laughed dryly: "You are too contemptuous of others."

"Eh... so it's actually very difficult for that uncle to take the exam?"

Picking up a handful of pickles and lifting them up with the noodles, Lin Xiaolu said in a calm voice: "Then I wish him success in the exam."

I was so drowsy that I fell asleep while writing yesterday, and then I had something else to do during the day on Sunday, so I haven't had time to make up for the update.

If I really can't update in time in the future, I will post a notice in the book review area. I am really sorry.

Chapter 127 Recruitment Examination

2023-04-30

"Ah--"

Looking up from the bustling crowd, Tian Sheng couldn't help but yawn.

He had dark circles under his eyes, a head of messy hair, and wore an old-fashioned jacket... If he hadn't been standing outside the door of the examination room with his admission ticket, people would probably have thought he was a homeless person from nowhere.

In fact, because his image was really suspicious, the security guard not far away had been secretly watching him. Even if Tian Sheng was slow-witted, he could still sense the vague feeling of being stared at.

Somewhat embarrassed, he picked up the bottle of mineral water in his hand and took a sip. He then reluctantly moved away from the crowd to prove his harmlessness.

It was not his intention to make his personal image what it is now, but he really doesn't have the time to manage his image.

In order to prepare for the recruitment examination of the Special Policy Bureau, he has been studying hard every night in recent days. Except for the working time in the welfare home during the day, almost all his time is spent on reading and doing exercises, leaving him with no energy to pay attention to the trivial things in life.

The recruitment examination of the Bureau of Strategy is an important opportunity for most magicians who want to get a stable job.

As long as they have no criminal record and a clean background, every magician can try to pass the exam to enter the Bureau of Strategy and thus become an official staff member, enjoying more favorable conditions and environment than studying magic among the private sector.

As a civilian magician who always abides by the law, although Tian Sheng's skill level is average, it does not prevent him from wanting to join the Strategy Bureau.

During this period, even his sleep time was squeezed out. Even though he knew he had an exam today and went to bed early last night, he couldn't make up for the sleep he missed in one day.

At such times, Tian Sheng would miss himself as a student many years ago: at that time, he could stay up late for many days in a row, and then feel refreshed after just a good night's sleep; but now, he no longer has the energy to squander.

His fingers gently slid across the corners of his eyes, wiping away the tears that had come out when he yawned. Looking toward the door of the examination room, Tian Sheng couldn't help but smack his lips: "I have to make up for the sleep in the next few days."

Although the exam hasn't even started yet, he has already started imagining the carefree days after everything is over and he walks out of the exam room.

No wonder he was so restless, he had put in too much effort to prepare for today's exam. And now that all this hard work was finally coming to an end, he was naturally inexplicably excited.

Because of this excitement, he came to the gate of the examination hall early in the morning and waited there before the examination hall opened.

Of course, he seemed to be more than the only one who had this idea, and there were many people gathered at the gate waiting.

Some of these people were mumbling to themselves, probably reciting the textbook; some were staring at the paper handouts in their hands, apparently cramming for some last-minute exam; and some were spreading out the question bank from the book on the spot, racing against time to confirm the difficult and important questions.

Haha, a bunch of poor students.

Wandering on the edge of the crowd and watching this scene, Tian Sheng felt that the hard work of preparing for the exam was somewhat relieved, and an inexplicable sense of superiority arose in his heart.

With an inexplicable smile on his face, he took a sip of the mineral water in his hand as if he was drinking some expensive beverage.

Unfortunately, no one present could understand his feelings, and his strange behavior made him look even more suspicious, which made the security guards even more alert.

So, with only half an hour left before the exam started, when the door of the examination room was opened, all other candidates around were allowed into the examination room normally, except Tian Sheng who was stopped at the door.

After the security guards questioned him repeatedly and his information was checked again and again, Tian Sheng finally walked into the examination room with the other party apologizing. At this time, there were only fifteen minutes left before the exam started.

Carrying a bottle of mineral water and a stationery bag, he walked quickly until the security booth at the gate was no longer in sight. Then Tian Sheng suddenly turned around and gave the middle finger in the direction he came from.

After giving the middle finger, he seemed to feel that this was not enough to vent his anger, so he gritted his teeth and stretched out his little finger, then gave the thumbs upside down and raised the middle fingers with both hands at the distance...until the candidates passing by began to look at him with strange eyes, Tian Sheng withdrew his hand and continued to move forward as if nothing had happened.

If I could really be hired, I would definitely find a chance to come back and show them my true colors, he thought to himself.

Of course, this is just thought.

The examination room for this recruitment exam was not at the headquarters of the Yi Ce Bureau, but at a training institution under the Yi Ce Bureau. It was not close to the city, and it would take more than half an hour to drive here. This meant that he would have to spend an extra half an hour on the car to come here in the future, which was totally not worth it.

With these messy thoughts in his mind, Tian Sheng followed the crowd into the examination room, recalling his examination room and seat number, and looking for his examination location in the corridor.

The teaching building where the examination room is located is a bit old. From the style of the interior decoration, it can be seen that it has been built for some time. Such buildings are not uncommon in the welfare home where he works. Walking in it will make him subconsciously recall his usual working days.

The same old building and the same lively environment suddenly calmed his originally somewhat indignant mood.

At the same time, I once again thought of my recent concerns.

Since a few months ago, he always felt like he had forgotten something.

It's hard to explain the process, but starting from one day, he suddenly couldn't remember what he had done in the previous few days.

He vaguely remembered that he should have gone to work at the welfare home normally during those days, and then encountered a crisis: a gray magic organization sneaked into the welfare home and planned a very brutal terrorist attack, killing many people.

However, although it should have been an impressive experience, he always felt it was unreal, like a dream.

In my memory, he seemed to have been hiding in the utility room, and only dared to come out after the terrorists were subdued by the magical girl and the Strategy Bureau.

However, his subconscious mind kept telling him: This is not the case, everything is not that simple. His experience should be much more exciting than this.

This left him completely puzzled.

He knows exactly what kind of person he is: he is afraid of death and loves pleasure. If he really encounters a terrorist attack, he will definitely hide in a hidden place until the end, which is the most suitable approach for his personality.

He would never rashly expose his life to danger. That would be too unwise.

This was the contradiction he felt: the behavior in his memory was completely consistent with his character and completely in line with his interests. Everything made so much sense, so why did it feel so false?

Why did he feel that he should have made some contribution to the terrorist attack on the welfare home?

Is it simply a secondary school complex?

While thinking about these questions in his mind, he didn't pay attention to the scene in front of him for a moment, and suddenly he felt his shoulder being hit.

He turned his head and saw a young man wearing a uniform of the Strategy Bureau next to him. There was an examination room sign on his chest. It seemed that he was the invigilator of this exam.

“…Ah, I’m sorry.”

It is not a wise choice to provoke the invigilator in the examination room. For the sake of his own test results, Tian Sheng quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "I was distracted just now and didn't look at the road. I am really sorry."

His apology was very straightforward, but after he finished speaking, the other party did not answer him.

After colliding with his shoulder, the young man stopped for some reason and stood there, just looking at him quietly without saying a word.

This made Tian Sheng's scalp tingle immediately, and he wondered if the other party had held a grudge against him. It was a very bad thing to be held a grudge by the invigilator before the exam. If the other party was really petty enough, he was afraid that he would be bullied during the exam.

He had prepared for this exam for so long, how could he allow the results of his hard work to be offset by off-field factors?
