Something's off about this magical girl.

Chapter 68 Unacceptable

"Let's go out." Dongchun tried to take Taozhuo away.

"Anything is fine with me," Tao Zhuo said sweetly, then turned to Guan Lan with a question in her mind, "But aren't you in a wheelchair? How will you fight?"

"Thank you for your concern. I'm feeling a little better these past two days, and I can walk around a bit now."

Upon hearing this, Guanlan stood up, using her umbrella as a crutch, and turned to face Gu Bai.

"Why are you still carrying an umbrella? It's been sunny lately—do you like rainy days?"

Tao Zhuo's questions were endless; it seemed like she could keep her there asking questions all day: "Or are you trying to imitate the 'Magical Girl Gentle Rain' label? The Ximing Church is so big and powerful, they can't be this stingy with you, it's just an umbrella, I'll give it to you next time!"

"Thank you, but no."

Guanlan was slightly speechless. Was this little girl with peach hair a curious child?

"I can't say whether I like or hate rainy days. I prefer sunny days, so I'm looking forward to getting a parasol soon."

Yubi, who had been watching from afar, had somehow gotten closer. She waved her little arms and said:

"Oh, so you're just thinking about your Seven Stars thing, aren't you? The future looks bright?"

"Yubi-sama is absolutely right."

Guanlan did not deny that his life before rising to the Seven Stars should also be considered as the rainy days on his life's journey.

Yubi disliked Guanlan to begin with. Seeing that Dongchun and Taozhuo had already gone far away, she floated onto Gu Bai's shoulder and whispered, "Don't hold back, kill her—I'm telling you, she's got a lot of people dead on her hands!"

Gu Bai did not reply to Yubi's speech, but simply waved the lightsaber formed from the magic of Dongchun in his hand.

In fact, he couldn't possibly believe just one side of the story. He hadn't made up his mind back in the mountains, so how could he possibly do that now that it was just a competition?

"Hey, you still don't believe me? You'll get killed by a magical girl sooner or later!"

Yubi muttered to herself, but perhaps sensing the fluctuation of magic energy around Guanlan, she flapped her wings and flew ahead to find Dongchun.

Guanlan seemed not to have fully adjusted to standing yet, so she lightly stomped her feet before speaking:

"Mr. Gu Bai, let's begin."

"good..."

Gu Bai's head slumped, but he quickly regained his senses. Tao Zhuo had already used this tactic before: "Is it charm?"

"What's the difference between charm, brainwashing, and hypnosis? They're all just means to achieve control."

A slight smile appeared on Guanlan's lips: "However, what's quite interesting is that powerful spells like this can only be used on people who don't have magic."

As she finished speaking, the tip of the umbrella lightly tapped the ground, and a smile appeared on the lips of the girl who remained in place, as if she were waiting for something.

Gu Bai realized something was wrong, reversed his grip on his sword, and thrust it straight to his right rear—bang!

A giant pink bubble burst.

Turning around, another "Guanlan" was standing there, chanting magic in a low voice.

"A clone spell?" Gu Bai deduced.

"【Doppelganger】, a magic I really like." Guanlan's index finger gripped her waist-length light blue hair, her tone seemingly complaining about why Gu Bai always surprised her so much: "Even with 【Lock】, we still couldn't succeed, what a pity."

"Is attacking the clone okay?" Gu Bai asked, preparing to throw his sword.

"It's actually the same as the original body, but it's fine. But shouldn't the teacher be more careful about their own situation first?"

With Guanlan's reminder, Gu Bai felt the wounds on his body gradually increasing from the inside out.

No wonder she was able to inherit the title; the magic is somewhat similar, but the difference is truly enormous.

The speed at which Guanlan's injuries recurred was barely enough to match the speed at which his immortal body could heal itself.

"Your reproduction is invalid," Gu Bai said bluntly.

"Well then... Mr. Gu Bai, may I prepare myself? Perhaps the magic I'm about to use will be able to defeat you in one strike."

"bring it on."

Gu Bai didn't care. He just wanted it to end quickly. He wanted to say goodbye to Guan Lan as soon as possible.

"Although I was prepared, it's still difficult to consider myself a match for you."

Guanlan paused, then continued calmly, "This magic is somewhat cheating, but it should still work for someone as powerful as you who has absolutely no magic power."

The blue light surrounding her grew brighter and brighter, and she finally spoke:

"Merge, replace!"

The next moment, Gu Bai's perspective suddenly shifted.

The person standing before him was himself?

Colorful gases floated freely in the surrounding environment, dazzling yet unfamiliar. Is this what is called magic?

Without giving him time to think, the perspective quickly returned to normal.

Guanlan froze, her eyes fixed on Gu Bai—

I understand now, I understand why Tao Zhuo and Dong Chun's previous attacks on Gu Bai were permitted!

"she--"

When I tried to open my mouth, it had already stretched to its maximum size.

She tried to speak again, but what came out was bright red blood.

Immediately afterwards, blood seeped from her eyes, ears, and nose at the same time, and soon it gushed out like a breached dam. Guanlan's strength and magic were also drained at the same time, and she could only slowly kneel down on the ground.

drip-

Beep beep beep!!

The piercing alarm suddenly shattered Gu Bai's plan to go forward and observe Guan Lan's situation in the training field.

The call bell pressed by Tao Zhuo from the spectator position indicated that emergency medical care was needed.

Before long, a fully armed medical team rushed into the scene through the emergency exit and took Guanlan directly away.

Finally, another magical girl arrived, to be detained for record-keeping. Recognizing her familiar face, Gu Bai said, "...Chunheng?"

"Hey, it's Teacher Gu? That magical girl from earlier..."

Chunheng thought of the magical girl's appearance just now and lowered her eyes slightly: "Um, when you're dealing with ordinary magical girls, it would be better to hold back a bit."

"Oh, Chun, you just don't understand."

At this moment, Tao Zhuo also walked over from the spectator stands. She straightened her back and spoke eloquently:

"This teacher is a violent person in daily life, with obvious sadistic tendencies!"

Tao Zhu exaggeratedly described her painful experience of having her face pinched, but it seemed to have taken on a different meaning in Chun Heng's ears.

"Then, Ms. Gu, if you really have this preference, it would be safer to find a magical girl who specializes in healing magic. Even if you suffocate and lose consciousness for a short time, you can recover."

"Huh?" Gu Bai was puzzled. Something didn't seem right. Were they all on the same wavelength?

"Yes, it's just some everyday stuff, there's absolutely no need for this!" Tao Zhu said, hands on her hips.

"No, safety is still very important." Chunheng's face flushed slightly. She turned her head and asked again, "Or is it that you can accept Taozhuo?"

"Um." Tao Zhuo put her index finger to her lips and thought about it seriously for a moment: "If you get used to it, it's actually acceptable. Want to try it together?"

"No, no, let's talk about it another time!"

After saying those words, Chunheng ran away.
