“That concludes today’s class. Class dismissed.”
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from a classroom at Rongcheng Medical College.
Students packed up their books; some eager ones rushed to the podium to ask questions, but most chose to leave in groups.
After all, today was Friday, and with no classes in the afternoon, it was essentially an early start to the weekend.
Su Tianqing neatly tidied the books and notebooks in front of her, carefully tucking them into her satchel.
Then, she stretched, straightening her tail.
“Mmm… Mmm-hmm—”
“It’s rare to see you paying such close attention in class, Tianqing,” Nan Jiayu said in surprise as she, too, was packing her books.
“Hmph hmph, because Ben Hu is a diligent and studious good student, you know,” Su Tianqing puffed out her chest proudly.
That’s right, Ben Hu is diligent and studious.
The little Fox Fox glanced at her notebook, which was densely filled with small writing and drawings.
After a week of new university life, Su Tianqing felt she still needed to relearn these basic medical knowledge.
After all, Beastmen exist in this world, and if she were too arrogant, she might suffer in Beastman physiology.
She had never seen such a new race as Beastmen before.
“Jia Yu, Jia Yu, do you have any plans for the afternoon?”
Patting her empty stomach, the Golden Fox tilted her head and poked the Cat Girl beside her with her tail.
“I should be free this afternoon… Oh, speaking of which…”
On the way to the cafeteria, Nan Jiayu shared the news she had received from her younger sister yesterday.
“Tianqing, do you remember Nan Xiaofeng, my younger sister?”
“Xiaofeng? I remember, your younger sister you often tutor.”
The Golden Fox nodded imperceptibly.
Ben Hu knows too well! Even better than you, her older sister!
All the information about Nan Xiaofeng in the secret codex is clearly displayed!
“It’s like this… Well, Xiaofeng has been in a bad mood these past few days, and she’s not very energetic in class. Yesterday, she said she wanted to talk to me, so I arranged it for tomorrow.”
“That sounds pretty bad. Could something have happened to her?”
Su Tianqing remained outwardly calm.
Bad mood?
That’s exactly right!
Your sister was just grabbed by a Monster summoned by Ben Hu yesterday and slammed into the ground. It would be a ghost if she were in a good mood.
But Su Tianqing hadn’t expected Nan Xiaofeng’s condition to be so poor.
Even the mission given by the secret codex this morning was a lazy one.
“This won’t do, absolutely not!”
Swallowing the food in her mouth, Su Tianqing put on a serious expression and said to Nan Jiayu across the table,
“We can’t let strange things affect her studies. We must have a good talk with her.”
“Yes, that’s what I think too…”
The Cat Girl put a spoonful of food into her mouth, her tail swaying from side to side, and murmured softly,
“My uncle has been very busy lately, so I have to take responsibility for taking care of Xiaofeng… But…”
“…I always feel that Xiaofeng is hiding something from me.”
“It’s normal for children that age to have their own secrets,” Su Tianqing said, feigning understanding.
The Cat Girl’s two ears drooped on top of her head, and she sighed softly.
“You’re right. Xiaofeng probably also feels it’s not good to keep it bottled up, but if I can’t help her…”
“Don’t worry, Jia Yu, you’re her sister, so you can definitely help,” Su Tianqing added,
“If you’re really worried, I’ll go with you tomorrow!”
How to find an excuse to go out and play together?
This was the perfect opportunity!
After finalizing tomorrow’s outing plan, this afternoon became a leisurely time.
Nan Jiayu chose to spend the afternoon at the library, while Su Tianqing sat at her desk at home, flipping through a book for a while, and then somehow picked up her phone.
Just like someone who is reading but accidentally picks up their phone.
Along with it, she also pulled out the secret codex stored in her magic space.
“Daily Mission 1: Rest”
“Due to your activity, the Magic Girls are in poor condition. You are rewarded with a day of rest.”
Looking at the lazy mission on the secret codex, Su Tianqing felt conflicted.
She was actually a bit overzealous herself.
She thoroughly enjoyed the sense of playing the mastermind and the pleasure of seeing the Magic Girls’ terrified expressions.
But.
If all the Magic Girls lost their spirit due to her activities, what value would she, as a Villain, have?
Su Tianqing fell into deep thought.
Just like when she tied up Iris at the train station,
When she uttered the word “no,” Su Tianqing’s stunned expression was at least five parts genuine.
—She was not an evil villain who enjoyed listening to girls’ laments.
If the genuine Magic Girls became dispirited because of what she did, or even completely gave up and graduated from being Magic Girls…
“Then Ben Hu wouldn’t find any fun!”
Su Tianqing yelled loudly in her mind.
Especially that Hyacinth.
She had only targeted her slightly these past two days, and she hadn’t expected her to become so dispirited!
A Magic Girl should look like a Magic Girl!
She should transform with full vitality! Rush forward to face the Monster and defeat it together!
This is the true royal road Magic Girl!
Only then is she worthy of Ben Hu, the Villain Fox Fox, coming to cause trouble!
Su Tianqing felt a bit like she was disappointed with her.
“Hiss… exhale…”
Closing the secret codex, she took a deep breath, and the Golden Fox relaxed her tense mood slightly.
In any case, tomorrow she would go and talk to her as a caring older sister.
As long as she could help her regain confidence, her Villain life would naturally return to normal!
But where should she start the conversation?
…It seems not much use thinking so much now. It’s better to decide after meeting Nan Xiaofeng tomorrow.
At least she needed to know why she was so depressed so she could prescribe the right remedy.
So, how to spend today’s lazy day…
Of course, it’s entertainment time!
Opening the video website, Su Tianqing silently typed keywords into the search bar:
“Xin Yuehu”
High-intensity self-searching is an essential element for a Magic Girl!
A pop-up window appeared on the screen.
“*Hero Association Reminder: Browse the internet civilly, and do not follow negative influences.”
Huh?
What do you mean by negative influences?! Is it Ben Hu?!
Ben Hu is a very upright and idealistic Villain Magic Girl! How can she be a negative influence?!
Su Tianqing angrily closed the prompt and looked at the videos that had refreshed below.
The first one was a video under her anonymous account. From the cover, this video should be the measurement of Hyacinth’s three dimensions after immobilizing her.
Thinking of this, Su Tianqing logged into her anonymous account.
“Magic Girl Fox Fox Official” already had six-figure followers.
This growth rate is too terrifying, Su Tianqing thought.
During this period, the income from Magic Girl live streaming was already enough to pay off all the original owner’s loans, and it would only increase from now on.
She might even be able to turn around and use it to fund other people in need at the Beastman Mutual Aid Association.
Su Tianqing continued to scroll down a few videos.
Then, a WeChat notification for an unread message popped up, catching the little Fox Fox’s attention.
“Jia Yu sent you a new message.”
Jia Yu’s message?
Su Tianqing quickly opened WeChat and curiously clicked on the chat window.
“Tianqing, have you had your nap yet?”
“Not yet, Jia Yu, are you looking for me for something?”
An incoming call displayed on the screen.
“Hello~ Good afternoon, Jia Yu~”
“Good afternoon. Tianqing, are you resting? I hope I didn’t disturb you.”
“Not yet. I plan to read for a while before my nap. Do you need something, Jia Yu?”
“It’s like this… Tianqing, do you remember Hua Ling, the child who went to the amusement park with us last time, Xiaofeng’s friend?”
Su Tianqing’s heart skipped a beat.
Could that child also be…
“I-I remember. What about her?”
“That child… wants to meet you.”
