I dug up the magical girl's corpse.

Chapter 96 I Will Kill You

"Did you ask me to come here?"

After the competition, Lin Yongxi went alone to the corridor at the end of the secluded players' passage.

She came at the invitation of the organizers.

While watching the intermediate group competition, there was a moment when Bai Xi suddenly turned her head and glanced at them from a distance.

Only Lin Yongxi knew that they made eye contact at that moment.

She understood the girl's coded message and lip movements, as if an invisible voice was conveying to her.

Let's talk after the match.

It probably means this.

Despite feeling uneasy and doubtful, Lin Yongxi didn't want to give up the opportunity and mustered up the courage to follow.

"Yes, that's right."

Sure enough, Bai Xi was waiting ahead.

She skipped the awards ceremony, and all the staff at the Magic Academy were frantically trying to find her. In the end, the top of the stage was empty, and the gold medals were never awarded.

This chaotic focus of attention is now sitting comfortably on the ground, leaning against the wall, looking relaxed and lazy, completely unlike the imposing figure he had just displayed in the arena.

She even reverted to her transformation form, wearing loose long sleeves and trousers, looking like a resting cat.

However, when Lin Yongxi looked at it, the eyes still maintained their ominous heterochromatic appearance, one side blue and the other yellow, the different colors making it look unsettling.

"Don't be so afraid of me. I've figured it out. You're not the teacher. The teacher has passed away. You're the teacher's sister..."

The girl rested her head on her knees and turned to speak.

The two magical girl champions of Miyuki City this year held a secret gathering here, unknown to anyone else.

Lin Yongxi quickly said, "It's my fault for not explaining clearly. I'm so sorry for running away back then."

Facing this girl who was a few years younger and shorter than herself, Lin Yongxi felt that she should act like an older sister, and that she shouldn't have run away in such a sorry state last time.

If it could be explained clearly, the other party wouldn't have had that misunderstanding. It turns out she only just learned about Lin Chaojing's death.

Lin Yongxi didn't know how deep the bond between the teacher and student was, or what they had been through before, so she could only offer a word of comfort:

"Don't be too sad—"

"I really envy you."

Her words of comfort were interrupted.

Bai Xi slowly stood up.

He slowly walked over to Lin Yongxi and said, "You and your teacher look a lot alike. Although the essence of magic is completely different, this face, these eyes, no matter how many times I look at them, I still feel they are very similar. No matter how many times I've tried to get closer to that 'sun,' in the end, someone was already standing in front of me from the very beginning. It's really frustrating..."

She was a young girl, yet she spoke in a mature tone, saying things that seemed inappropriate for her age.

Lin Yongxi frowned, trying to figure out how to respond.

"But you're too weak."

But at that moment, Bai Xi stood in front of him, and somehow, in an instant, the distance between them closed.

Lin Yongxi only had time for her pupils to contract before she couldn't even take a step back, as the other person reached out and pressed her down in front of her.

Bai Xi didn't make any offensive moves; she simply gently stroked Lin Yongxi's cheek with her fingers.

Fingertips brushing against the skin.

"Whether it's your magical power or the level of your magic, your realm or the speed of your growth, you don't seem to have the talent you should have. Are you really the teacher's sister?"

Bai Xi's heterochromatic pupils seemed incredibly deep at this moment. She stared intently at Lin Yongxi, bringing an unprecedented sense of pressure.

Lin Yongxi frowned and said, "My sister never taught me anything. You're the one who was her student."

"Oh, so it's that man, he—"

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Lin Yongxi was starting to get impatient.

She was inexplicably summoned here and subjected to those incomprehensible words. This young girl showed no respect for her elders and spoke rudely from the very first word.

"I'm saying 'you're weak,' so weak that I can kill you with just a little effort."

Bai Xi suddenly placed her hand on Lin Yongxi's chest.

"!!"

Lin Yongxi felt a sudden chill, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He was unable to escape or dodge.

It felt like my heart was being gripped tightly.

She then realized that although the petite girl standing in front of her was a few years younger than her, the difference in their strength and realm was like heaven and earth!

Bai Xi is a genuine [Bud]-level magical girl, and a genius who just won the Deep Moon City Championship. In terms of threat, she even surpasses the experienced magical girl [Mian] in the past. Lin Yongxi did not bring such a strong and shocking pressure when facing his former enemy, as if he would be killed if he took a step!

Lin Yongxi recalled the terrifying performance he had just witnessed on the arena. Even after [Starry Sky] transformed, how did it end the battle? Perhaps few people could understand that.

She was like a monster, both to girls her age and to everyone else.

Given the current disparity in power, it's impossible to be her enemy... I really shouldn't have come to meet her alone after all...

"You know what, Lin Yongxi, I envy your status. I'm an abandoned orphan, without parents. It was the Demon Academy that took me in, and it was my teacher who found me."

Bai Xi did not launch an attack directly, but lowered her eyes and said softly, "If I were to switch places with you, I would never do as badly as you."

"What do you know!"

Lin Yongxi suddenly grabbed her arm.

She opened her mouth, revealing sharp canine teeth; at this moment, all friendliness was gone.

"Do you think being a child of the Lin family means a happy and carefree childhood? Do you think it's the life of a rich young lady? My sister left the family when I was six years old, without even saying goodbye. From that day on, all the pressure and expectations were transferred to me. No one can understand what I went through back then..."

Lin Yongxi seemed to have been struck by a deep sore spot, and roared, "You were in the Demon Academy from the very beginning, receiving the best education from the start, what right do you have to envy me!"

A white light was beginning to gather in her other hand, and a massive amount of magic was converging.

Logically speaking, Lin Yongxi can only cast the [Instant Light] spell once a day, and after that, he must accumulate it again.

However, Lin Yongxi couldn't care less about the consequences. If Bai Xi insisted on being her enemy, she would have no choice but to sacrifice her Heart Flower and forcefully unleash the second [Instant Light] to try and save her life.

"Since you say it's a problem of 'starting late,' fine, I'll give you two years."

However, at that moment, Bai Xi slapped Lin Yongxi's hand away.

She seemed to have seen the magic flashing with white light, but then turned and left, leaving behind only a defenseless and indifferent figure.

"The woman who came to me said she could help me reach the [Leaf] level within two years. If you haven't caught up with my speed by then, I will find you and kill you."

This is an utterly unreasonable condition.

Bai Xi already possesses the [Bud] level, so reaching the [Bud] level is simply a natural progression across realms; with her talent, it shouldn't be difficult for her to do so.

But for Lin Yongxi, this required her to advance through two realms within two years.

You have to understand, this is an insurmountable barrier that many magical girls have been unable to cross for decades. How can they possibly overcome it?

"OK."

Lin Yongxi agreed to the agreement without hesitation.

She flicked her hand, dispersing the white light from her fingertips, and watched the girl gradually disappear down the corridor before offering her words:

"Two years from now, in the [Lei] Advanced Group tournament in Huancheng, I will personally defeat you in the ring. Just you wait."
