On the viaduct in the middle of the night, the shadow of a speeding car whizzes by.

In the driver's seat, Lin Yun frowned. Even if he was at full speed and sprinting at full speed, it took him nearly 20 minutes to get from his home to the vicinity of the wetland park. And for him now, every second that passes is torment.

It's just that in the process of being anxious along the way, he has somewhat picked up some knowledge that has been shelved for a long time from the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and sorted out a little something.

Why did you become a magical girl?

This is a proposition that was once firmly remembered by myself, and it took 19 years before it was brought up by myself again. He looked out of the car, and under the dim streetlights, some equally distant memories began to emerge. And that was 22 years ago.

In fact, he was a little surprised that he could vaguely recall that it was an evening after school.

"Will I be able to fight?"

On the street stained by the setting sun, Lin Yun, who was still a teenager, asked a rabbit-like goblin.

The goblin, who called himself the "Sower", told him:

"How is it possible, you're a boy! Only girls can have the talent to become a magical girl, and this is a one-in-a-million physique! ”

"Why can't boys?"

"It's all said, magic-law-youth-girl, it's a girl, a girl! So only girls can be magical girls! ”

"Then I don't want to be a magical girl, a magical boy, a magical big brother, a magical superman or anything, I also want the power of magic!"

While the young man shouted these words with great momentum, a fierce battle was going on between the buildings not far away.

His childhood sweetheart, Anya, is also a magical girl who is at war with vicious beasts.

It's just that, unlike the several battles he had seen in the past, this time the remnant beast was not only huge, but also appeared with two heads at the same time, and Anya clearly showed signs of being unable to stand alone when facing multiple high-intensity enemies.

There is no doubt that she is at a disadvantage.

Seeing Anya struggling to support under the hands of the remnant beast, she has been hit by the remnant beast's attacks several times during this period, and the battle situation is precarious. Lin Yun couldn't help but raise his voice again, shouting at the rabbit-like goblin, "Can't you see it!" Anya is in danger! Isn't she the magical girl of your choice! ”

"Hmm...... Really, people are also very embarrassed. ”

The fairy who looked like a rabbit had a sad face: "I'm also worried about Anya, yes, but magic is a power that only girls can have, and there is no other choice than to become a magical girl, and the things you said don't exist at all." ”

"Magical boy, magic big brother, magic superman or something, if I can, I want to help you, but I can't, I can only let people have the power of a magical girl......"

"Let me try!"

"Huh?"

"Let me try, can I become a magical girl!"

"Are you crazy? It's all said that it has to be a girl! ”

"Try it!"

"How the hell are you going to try this kind of thing?"

"Tell me how to become a magical girl, I'll come!"

“…… I'm really scared of you. ”

Faced with the young man's tough and persistent attitude, and Anya's deep crisis in the distance, the goblin had to say helplessly: "Then let you die, this is what you said, give it a try." ”

It stretched out its claws to the fluff around its waist, and after a moment of fumbling for it, it found a round and crystal clear gem from between the hairs.

The gem was a quarter the size of its body, and the image of it suddenly pulling it out looked very strange, except that no one on the other side of the fairy cared about these trivial matters.

"This thing is called the Seed of the Heart, which is the seed of magical girl's power."

The fairy said solemnly: "Hold it, hold it to your chest, feel its presence, make a connection with your heart, if it reacts, it means that you have the talent to become a magical girl, otherwise, you have no hope." ”

"Seed of the Heart......"

Looking at the gem in the fairy claws, the boy whispered the name of the object.

How could he not have known that what he said was vexatious? Since the other party said that only girls can become magical girls, there must be some origin in it.

It's just that he has no choice now, because the situation is urgent, and as an ordinary person, if he wants to save Anya, no matter how impossible it is, he should give it a go.

Taking over this gem-like object, Lin Yun immediately held it in his hand and pressed it to his heart.

Make connections with your heart.

This was the main point he remembered, so he didn't delay for a moment and threw himself into it.

He closed his eyes and gradually put everything out of the way. The rabbit fairy not far away had been staring at the Heart Seed in his hand with a sad face.

As the counting time passed, the seed of the heart did not change much.

As it approached a minute, the Heart Seed still didn't respond.

And just as the rabbit fairy's heartbeat gradually decreased, and he felt that he could confirm his failure, a change occurred.

At first, it was only a very faint light, leaking out from Lin Yun's fingers, dotted with stars, like fireflies. After that, it was tracer and clear, and then turned into a clear light.

Rising from between the boy's hands was a pure white light that radiated a holy light. It swirls with the gem-like seed of the heart, enters the air, and finally merges.

In an instant, the light bloomed.

White light shot out from the surface of the Heart Seed, forming a halo that enveloped Lin Yun in it.

It was still not a very strong light, but it was like the bright moon in the sky, not dazzling, but enough to illuminate the night.

"It's really...... You...... You kid actually succeeded? Are you really a boy? ”

The never-before-seen facts shocked the rabbit goblin on the side, and even said a little hesitantly: "Could it be that you just look more like a boy, so you're kidding me?" ”

It's just that the young man in the light didn't pay attention to its trash talk, but raised his head and looked at the elf in front of him with a firm gaze, and his eyes were full of fire.

"What do I do next?"

- What to do?

This sentence seems to travel through time and space.

Because this is also a problem that Lin Yun needs to consider now.

At night, in the quiet parking lot of the wetland park, he found a random place to throw the car away, and ran along a path towards the depths of the woods.

Actually, what to do, the answer has long been there. His mood at the moment is very similar to that dusk 22 years ago.

Many things may have changed, but there are still many things that have always been there, at least, this feeling of "we must save important people" is the same.

With such an emotion, can the flower of his heart still be connected with it?

With a hint of doubt, he raised his hand.

——The broken gemstone flower in his hand has long been shining with deep blue brilliance.

“…… Alas, I really can't do anything about you kid, but now I can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. ”

In a trance, he seemed to be back in the sunset that day.

After the rabbit fairy briefly expressed his shock, he quickly adjusted his mentality and began to tell him one by one:

"First of all, once you have established a connection with the Heart Seed, you should be able to feel the magic power, which is the energy that binds you to the Heart Seed."

"Now, what you need to do is activate it using a simple flow of mana."

The boy nodded, closed his eyes again, and while feeling, he summed up in his heart:

The first step is to capture the magic.

"Separate your mana flows, connect your limbs to your forehead and heart, and adjust them to balance each other."

The second step is to divert the mana and then balance it.

"And then there's the construction of standard magic runes, ah, if you don't know...... Look at me, I'll show you. ”

The third step is to construct a standard magic rune.

"Finally, I'm thinking of a transformation spell that will be used as the first activation switch. Although it is rarely used, don't think too weird, it's better to be cute, otherwise the kingdom will review it and be ordered to change. ”

The fourth step is to decide on the transformation spell.

And with all the steps complete, next, it's time to transform.

The boy in his memory, and the middle-aged man at this moment, seem to coincide in an instant, and they exist here at the same time.

It's just that this is a phantom after all.

With enthusiasm and hope, with new strength, the boy shouted a ready-made spell of shame, and set off towards the battlefield in the air in order to save the girl he cared about.

The middle-aged man whose blood had already cooled was still here, alone.

With a slight pause, he shook his head, banished the distractions from his mind, and walked briskly forward again.

The light was in full bloom, and the azure magic power exploded in his hands in an instant, sweeping around him like a turbulent current, ruffling the corners of his clothes and hair.

There was no superfluous movement, no superfluous sound, and he raised his hand to press the flower of the heart to his chest. Then, coldly, two words came out of his mouth:

"Change, body."
