Chapter 502 New Business and New Goals
"BOOM!!"
Somewhere in Snow City, at an unfinished construction site covered in defensive magic, a beam of magic cannon light shot out and struck a dummy target that had been placed there beforehand.
The magic cannon shattered the target with a resounding crash. Marigold retrieved her wand, gathered her magic power, and let out a long breath.
"Phew... This is the last target. This kind of training is surprisingly tiring."
"If you're tired, why don't you take a break?"
Meng Donghua appeared beside her companion, her magic wand transforming into the shape of a large hammer, which she gripped tightly in both hands, as if afraid of dropping it to the ground.
"Take a short rest! Wow, you can now freely transform your wand into a weapon? That's amazing."
Marigold turned around and said with a smile, then immediately noticed the large hammer in Rabbit Girl's hand and said in surprise.
Meng Donghua blushed slightly and shrank her head.
"Yes, but right now I can only turn it into a giant hammer like my senior, not into all sorts of weapons like Hyacinth-senpai..."
"That's Hyacinth, you know! But Yoyo, you're already amazing for conjuring up a giant hammer!"
At this point, Marigold looked at the wand in her hand, then at the cool, giant warhammer in Xia Youyou's hand.
The hammerhead is printed with a pattern resembling a guardian star, and the edges are decorated with rabbit ear-shaped ornaments, giving it a very imposing look.
"It feels like a really powerful weapon. Maybe the Hero Association will contact you in a few days to release some related toys. They might be very popular."
"The toys and such... are a bit too big."
"You could make scaled-down toys, or inflatable sledgehammer balloons; kids would absolutely love those!"
Marigold excitedly described the shape of the inflatable toy, and Winter Flower, after a thoughtful moment of imagining it, also became much happier.
"But then again... I still can't use a really cool magic cannon like Iris-senpai..."
"It's okay. Senior Bai Lili also uses a wand to cast spells, so I don't think it's a big deal to use a wand to cast spells."
"Hmm...that's true...ah, Yoyo, would you like some drinks? I'll go buy some."
"I brought my own water bottle."
"I'll go buy a milk tea. Do you have any snacks I'd like to eat?"
"Then, a bag of potato chips will do."
.
They returned to the training ground with milk tea and snacks, and sat side by side at the edge of the ground, eating snacks and looking at the city street scene in the distance.
"Hyacinth-senpai and the others have gone back."
"After all, school is about to start." Xia Youyou nodded in response.
"And Youyou, your sister has also gone back to Rongcheng. I thought she would stay here for a while longer."
"Yes, my sister is a college student. She said she has a lot of classes, and her family is doing quite well. The Hero Association pays us a lot of money."
Xia Youyou's joy was palpable as she gestured a salary figure that seemed outrageous to the two students.
"I heard it was to recognize our performance during Magic Storm a while ago, but the seniors didn't want the money and gave it all to the two of us."
"Looks like I should find an opportunity to thank my seniors," Marigold said, blinking in surprise.
But before the two could chat for long, a melodious bell suddenly rang out from their magical space.
The Communication Tome Stone was a gift from Senior Dandelion to Xia Youyou. It's said to be a tool used by magical girls to communicate with each other, similar to a mobile phone.
However, the contact person displayed was "Snow City Heroes Association," which left the two of them somewhat confused.
"Could it be that they've paid us too much and want to go back?" Marigold muttered under her breath.
"Haha... I don't think it's that bad. Let's answer the call and listen, just in case another weirdo shows up."
The call connected, but a somewhat unfamiliar female voice answered:
"...Hmm? It's connected. You two are getting the hang of the Divine Stones pretty quickly."
[Let me introduce myself first. My name is Qi Yun, and I am a registered S-class hero from the Rongcheng Hero Association, [Electromagnetic]. I don't have any Divine Stones on hand right now, so I'm temporarily borrowing equipment from Snow City.]
"I've heard of you, Miss Qiyun."
Xia Youyou quickly replied,
"Last week, you single-handedly raided a human trafficking operation and rescued many children!"
【Oh my... I didn't expect you to know these things, Miss Meng Donghua.】
The other side was clearly caught off guard by Meng Donghua's comment, but quickly got to the point.
[I won't waste any more pleasantries today. Qiufeng said she only has five minutes for me, so I need to get to the important matter with you two as soon as possible.]
[The attacks by strange creatures in Snow City have become increasingly severe recently, and you two, as the only magical girls in Snow City, are somewhat inexperienced and lack strength compared to your more experienced seniors.]
Although Snow City contacted the Hyacinth Squad to help you quickly improve your strength, the time is too short, and you still need to further refine your magical girl combat skills.
The two exchanged a glance, as if they understood each other's meaning.
"I see. So, Miss Qiyun already has a plan?"
This is why I came to find you.
We consulted some veteran magical girls active in other cities, and they all agreed that observing actual combat or participating in it personally is the fastest way to improve combat power.
And currently, the city with the most active magical girl battles in the country and even the world... is Chengdu.
Therefore, we have decided that you two will take turns going to Chengdu for further studies.
"Further studies? But wouldn't that cause trouble for the seniors?"
[Don't worry, this training has been specially approved by the Hero Association's President, Barbarossa, and the entire Hyacinth Squad has already been notified.]
[Specific training details will be sent to your phones later. It's best to attend in groups of only one person at a time so that you can learn systematically and comprehensively. Over.]
The communication was disconnected.
Almost at the same moment she hung up, Marigold heard the phone buzzing in the magical space.
The sender was identified as the Hero Association, and the message was a letter of inquiry for further studies, which corresponded to the previous communication.
"Is that so? Then who should go to Chengdu for further studies first?" Marigold asked in surprise.
Meng Donghua seemed even more delighted.
"Then... You go first, Youyou?"
"Lan Shuang, you go first. My parents just finished treatment and are planning to do some serious renovations on the house. I need to help out at home."
"Okay, then I'll go scout out the location in Rongcheng first, and you can go after I get back!"
"Mmm." Rabbit nodded obediently.
.
Meanwhile, on the rooftop of Chengdu, the villains...
The golden-haired fox girl sat leisurely on the sofa in the lounge, her fox tail swaying from side to side, unable to contain her joy.
Not long ago, while browsing the Mystic Codex Shop, I discovered that it had unlocked a new feature – the [Mystic Codex Stone Exchange Service].
As a new feature, it currently only offers one service option: 【Temporary Magical Girl Dispatch】, which allows you to designate a magical girl to go to a specified city for a period of one month.
The price isn't too high, either 2000 Divine Stones or 1000 Ancient Divine Stones, which is fairly standard.
Hey, you must be reading the Secret Manual, right? Did you know I had a side quest I hadn't done, so you deliberately created this service?
There was no response from the void.
In short, once the marigolds were transferred from Snow City, things became much easier!
Miss Marigold, for the next month, I, Fox, am going to give you an extremely rigorous hellish training.
