Why are the magical girls in your area male?

"Yes." Danzhu nodded confidently.

“I knew you would say that.” Red Sparrow smiled slightly, then sighed. “Well, that’s why it’s troublesome. That guy is at least B-level, just like you.”

An awakened being of this level, in the real world, could at least unleash about 30% of their power.

While it can't compare to the power within the lunar etched interior, in the real world where ordinary people live, it's like a human tank—it can go anywhere and cause immense destruction.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Xun couldn't help but worry: "Then, what should we do?"

"What should we do? Let nature take its course. First, report it to the junior guild leader and ask her to check with the Demon Hunter Guild and the Strategy Committee to see if there are any unregistered Awakened recently."

"If all else fails, we still have Chiyo Amamiya as a backup, although by the time she gets involved, the situation might have already become quite serious."

Chiyo Amakura...

Yuan Xun pondered the name in his heart, and the image of her stunning beauty, comparable to that of Yuki Tsukishiro in her magical girl form, appeared in his mind.

Indeed, with her abilities, as long as she reacts in time, dealing with accidents caused by Awakened Ones in the real world shouldn't be too much of a problem.

It's just a bit troublesome.

Hopefully, things won't escalate to that point...

"This is none of our business. Let's check the surrounding area. If we can find any trace of that guy, great. If not, that's it for today. Everyone go home."

Red Sparrow weighed the spear in his hand and gave the two juniors a relaxed smile.

Then she sighed and said regretfully, "It's a pity that the young president didn't come tonight. If she were here, with her tracking skills, she should have been able to track down the other party very easily."

The group made their rounds and then headed off to another location.

Yuan Xun followed quietly behind the two, his eyes thoughtfully scanning the messy surroundings.

Just as they were about to leave the storage area and step onto the relatively open dock road—

"call."

A cool, salty sea breeze blew in from deep inside the container, brushing against Yuan Xun's cheek.

In that instant, an extremely faint but quite familiar magical fluctuation, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, rippled outwards in her keen perception.

Ok?

The magical fluctuation just now...

Is it my older brother?!

Yuan Xun's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened instantly.

To protect her brother, she secretly left a protective mark on him, formed from her own magical power.

Just a moment ago, she seemed to have caught a faint trace of magical energy in this place.

She frowned, and without making a sound, she once again activated her magic power, raising her perception to its limit.

The spirit, like an invisible spider web, covered the entire area where the fluctuations had just been sensed.

No......

It's completely empty...

The faint magical fluctuation from just now vanished without a trace, like an illusion.

Yuan Xun's heart tightened, and he immediately used the invisible spiritual link to sense the even more powerful primordial magic imprint left on Yuan Qing.

Clear and stable.

The primordial magic imprint was detected as usual, located within the apartment, with no signs of movement or abnormality.

It's strange...

Yuan Xun frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and self-doubt.

Could it be... just an illusion?

Was it the excessive exertion from the battle that caused her mental exhaustion and impaired perception? Or was it the residual battle energy in the surrounding area interfering with her judgment?

No, no, Yuanxun, you can't think like that.

Horror movies often feature this kind of plot: the protagonist always mistakes the ghostly figures they see or hear for hallucinations, ultimately leading to their own demise.

But if it's not an illusion, how can it be explained?

Or did my brother awaken some power?

This is even more impossible.

I spend half of my time with him every day. If he were to awaken any power, even if it were very weak, I should be able to sense it.

Thinking of this, Yuan Xun couldn't help but rub his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

I'll just have to keep an eye on it.

Volume 1: Chapter 38 Classic Straight Strike and the Loser

Yuan Qing opened his eyes and saw the familiar lobby of the Tower of Delusion.

So you're back...

Unfortunately, I was just about to observe the situation further.

However, he was now certain that he was not the only one who could function normally within the lunar etch.

Thinking about the special labels on his sister and Yuki Tsukishiro, Gen Ao is increasingly convinced that his guess was correct.

Their labels are probably really related to lunar etch.

Does that mean his younger sister was also in such a dangerous place?

What is she doing in a place like this?

Also present were Vice Principal Nakado Go and Head of Academic Affairs Kimura Tsukasa.

They were both involved too.

If it is really as I think, that they belong to some powerful force, then I really shouldn't directly question Yuan Xun, lest I alert them.

He cannot expose himself without knowing the background or influence of the other party.

Let's investigate a little longer.

Yuan Qing glanced at the countdown to the lunar etching displayed by the system; there were only 5 minutes left until it ended.

There's definitely no way to investigate today; we'll have to wait until tomorrow night.

After entering the Moon Etching tomorrow night, I won't rush to teleport to the Tower of Illusion. I'll investigate the area first.

Having made up his mind, Yuan Qing reopened the system page and organized the current resources.

After the previous battle, I accumulated 1700 soul points, and my gold coins exceeded 8000 thanks to the quest rewards, the sale of monster materials, and monster drops.

A whopping 8200 gold coins is quite a fortune.

Besides souls and gold, his inventory also contained special materials dropped by the BOSS, 1 Undead Soulfire (core), and 5 Shadow Crystals.

These two items are specifically used to upgrade the Skeleton Undead Set.

Unfortunately, I wasn't lucky enough to get the remaining piece of the set.

You can seek help from Libra women for enhancement, but I don't have many souls on hand, so I'll wait until later.

In addition, there are 5 skill points left unused.

Yuan Qing opened the skill panel and glanced at it briefly.

"Flying Swallow Thrust", "Flame Mark - Flame Detonation", "Ice Blast", "Atama's Circle (Power Enhancement within Area)"...

Hmm, I feel like these skills aren't very useful; they're kind of like something you can't really use but can't bear to throw away.

Forget it, let's not use them for now. Level 20 will probably be a big hurdle, requiring a lot of skill points. I can save them for later and learn advanced skills when I level up.

After closing the system menu, Yuan Qing stretched and looked tired.

Fighting that skeletal undead tonight was quite tough, but overall it was a very rewarding night.

In just three days, I have grown to this point, and even in online games, my progress can be described as rapid.

Go home and get some sleep.

The countdown ended, and Yuan Qing was enveloped in a familiar light, teleported back to his apartment.

He glanced at the unusually quiet living room, pondered for a moment, and then tiptoed to his sister's bedroom door.

He pressed his ear against the other person's door, listening carefully to what was happening inside.

After his perception improved, his hearing and perception abilities also improved significantly, so he could clearly hear the even breathing sounds inside through the door.

It seems that he fell asleep.

He crossed his arms, pondered for a moment, shook his head, and returned to his bedroom.

Forget it, don't think too much about it. You have to eat one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. When the time is right, things will naturally come to light.

......

Today is Saturday, the last day of classes this week.

Like most Japanese high schools, Gekkokan no Mori Private School follows a curriculum system where students attend classes in the morning and leave in the afternoon for club activities.

The morning classes include both physics and civics.

The instructors for the two courses were Nakado Go and Kimura Tsukasa, also known as the Azure Phoenix and the Blazing Red Sparrow.

As a result, Yuan Qing's attention was entirely focused on the labels on their heads and what was happening with the Moon Etching, and he didn't listen to the lessons at all.

I guess it's because the holiday is coming soon, everyone was in a high mood this morning and their attention was basically not on the class.

However, a small incident occurred during the third lesson.

Because the previous Japanese language teacher, Mr. Zongye, resigned due to illness, the school recruited a new Japanese language teacher.

The new teacher is a young woman around 26 years old named Toriumi Riki.

She's quite beautiful, but she gives off a somewhat lazy vibe.

Not only was he lazy, but his clothing style was also casual and decadent, giving Yuan Qing the feeling of seeing a gender-swapped version of Nakado Go.

The name is weird too...

Toriumi Ritsuki sounds awkward and unnatural in Japanese, and it seems that more men use "Ritsuki" as their name.

Hmm, Lixi?

Oh, it was Rikki. It's alright then.

However, I still feel like it could be optimized a bit more...

Let me think. Toriumi Riki, it has both "sea" and "ki".

I've got it! Let's call her "Xi! Hai!"

Soon, it was noon.

Because he almost overslept again and missed breakfast, Yuan Qing was so hungry that his stomach was practically sticking to his back.

He felt that even if it were pig feed from the cafeteria, he could wolf down three large bowls of it at a time like this.

However, he soon realized that his idea was wrong.

The first dish was Japanese Mapo Tofu. After just one bite, he couldn't help but complain to Yuki Tsukishiro: "I bet my cruise missile that there is absolutely no dish in the world that tastes worse than this."

Then he tried the second dish, curry soup, and almost spat it out after one bite: "Damn it, I take back what I said, it really is."

"You bastard, you just want to trick me into eating fried chicken, don't you? Stop talking so much!"

Yuki Tsukishiro gave him the middle finger and pushed her lunchbox toward Gensei.

Today she deliberately added a few extra chicken pieces to her plate, just in case the other person couldn't finish the cafeteria food.

She herself held a seaweed rice ball and chewed it slowly and deliberately.

"You guessed that?"

Yuan Qing wasn't going to stand on ceremony with her. She grabbed the rice with her chopsticks and complained, "What can I do, buddy? The rice in the cafeteria is half-cooked. It's really hard to swallow."

"Who told you to be lazy and not bring your own lunch?"
