Chapter 94: The End of Summer Vacation (4k)
With the end of the claw marks and Ember Dawn's assault in Fangting City, the magical girls' lives have returned to their previous rhythm.
Expelling the remnants of the beast, training, studying, and occasionally playing, the girl's summer vacation passed like this.
But for Delphinium, this time is actually not easy.
Although she successfully resigned, it also meant that she fully devoted her energy to the training of several new magical girls, and life did not become much easier because of this.
The white magic power that Lin Xiaolu used in the previous battles, according to herself, as well as Xia Liang and Bai Jingxuan's descriptions, seemed to have more lethality than ordinary magic power. The origin of this lethality is not clear, but the effect reflected is that it can easily damage a remnant beast that Xia Liang at the bud level can't even break through the defense.
For this special magic, Delphinium and Red Sihe both agreed that Lin Xiaolu was an outset.
The magic of the Drifter is born with special properties, and different people exhibit different properties. The embodiment of this property in Lin Xiaolu is penetrating, or lethality, which is very possible.
And the reason why I say "very likely" is because the delphinium has never seen that so-called white magic so far.
Because Lin Xiaolu can't use it.
According to her own words, she has "no feeling" and "no state", but always, no matter how hard Lin Xiaolu tries, she has never used this white magic again.
This is undoubtedly a rather tricky question.
The Drifter itself is a rather rare existence, and Delphinium actually knows very little about such a physique, so she can't directly judge what obstacles Lin Xiaolu has encountered.
Therefore, she can only take the most primitive, but the most solid method - control variables.
According to the situation when Lin Xiaolu used this magic power, as well as the factors that might affect her in the situation, the past was tested in the same way.
It's just that because the situation at that time was too complicated, and there were many possible conditions, there were no results so far.
In addition to Lin Xiaolu, it is also the one that Delphinium has put the most energy into in recent times, which is Bai Jingxuan's special training.
As a very standard drifter, Bai Jingxuan's performance is actually much more qualified than Lin Xiaolu, and the development of magical properties is also very smooth.
According to the tests during this period of time, the properties of Bai Jingxuan's green magic are not only as simple as healing physical injuries, but even have a certain maintenance effect on the original appearance after long-term exposure.
During the battle in the welfare home, Xia Liang's injuries had actually slightly affected his appearance, but with the help of Bai Jingxuan, he gradually healed and became fine.
As far as Delphinium knows, even ordinary techniques can't have such an outrageous effect, and the techniques that can have an effect on the true appearance are extremely high-level existences, and few people can learn them at all. Even if he learned it, his effect would not be better than Bai Jingxuan's simple magical nature.
The only pity is that it has little effect on the old wounds of the delphinium herself.
Delphinium didn't intend to bring up her old wounds to the girls, because even letting them know would only add to their worries. But whenever she was with Bai Jingxuan and helped her study the nature of her magic, Delphinium would always try to draw some of it to see if it could affect her Heart Jewel.
The truth is that there is no effect, or the magnitude of the effect is too small to be felt at all.
Even so, there is no doubt that this magical nature is extremely valuable.
Even if it is placed in the magic realm, such a magical nature will definitely arouse the interest of many people, if Bai Jingxuan goes to the realm now, even if it is to study and use her magical nature, there should be no shortage of invitations from all parties.
It's just that as the time getting along with each other goes by, Delphinium gradually discovers that Bai Jingxuan, a child, is indeed not as ordinary as it appears on the surface.
Not just because of her abilities with a special nature, but because of her character.
As she vaguely felt before, in the follow-up frontal battle with the remnant beast, Bai Jingxuan lost control.
Even with her teammates nearby, she didn't care about the damage she might take, and attacked the remnants with a ferocious, injury-for-injury style of play.
If it weren't for Delphinium stopping her in time, Bai Jingxuan would probably easily injure herself when facing an enemy who was not dangerous.
The bigger problem is that the child is unaware of the dangers of this way of fighting.
Just as she usually appears to be quiet and sensible, her thinking is still clear and even calm in battle. And this dangerous combat style of "exchanging injuries for injuries" is also the conclusion she chose in her thinking and choice.
She wasn't carried away by hatred, she wasn't influenced by anger, she simply thought she should fight like this, and she did it.
Even, when the Delphinium watching the battle stopped her, she asked the Delphinium curiously, "Does the teacher think there is anything wrong with this?"
When asked why she did this, she replied, "Because I feel like I can destroy the beasts as quickly as possible."
This made Delphinium speechless for a while, and she didn't know how to correct it. In the end, he could only sigh, easily destroyed the egg-level remnant beast that was still struggling, and brought Bai Jingxuan back to the training ground, and had a long talk with him.
Not only did he emphasize to her how to take care of her own safety when fighting; also instilled in her the advantages and disadvantages of a long-disc war of attrition; What's more, when you encounter an enemy stronger than yourself, you must flee in time.
During this process, Bai Jingxuan was very well-behaved, and even asked in detail about Professor Delphinium from time to time, and nodded her head again and again like a chicken pecking rice. His performance can be called a good child among good children, and he seems to have really listened to all these words.
After that, time passes. A week later, when she encountered the egg-level remnant beast again, she lost control again.
In another round of actual combat training specially reserved for Delphinium, Bai Jingxuan still remembered Delphinium's advice at the beginning, relying on the way of medium and long-range kites to use magic beams to consume the vitality of the remnant beast, and to fight with a steady rhythm. And as the battle gradually came to an end, and the remnant beast was obviously powerless to resist, she didn't know what she was thinking, and began to charge melee again with her wand.
This time, when the delphinium pulled her away, she had already smashed her wand directly into the head of the remnant, and was about to reach out to pluck out the remnant's eyes.
In the process, she completely ignored the fact that her legs were already hanging empty in the mouth of the remnant beast, and she was only a few seconds away from being bitten by the painful and violent remnant beast.
Finally pulled Bai Jingxuan away, and easily destroyed the dying remnant beast next to her, this time the delphinch was really a little angry, so he warned the other party quite seriously.
Bai Jingxuan's attitude is still very good, and she seriously told Delphinium that she will pay attention next time. As for this incident, no one knows whether she will pay attention next time.
Finching only knew that in Bai Jingxuan's guidance, she encountered an unprecedented difficulty.
In this way, the time came to the end of August, and the summer vacation gradually came to an end.
Due to a fairly healthy holiday schedule, Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang both completed their summer vacation homework early, and with the initial results of the special training during the holiday, the most tiring special training has become a thing of the past.
In the evening, in the living room filled with air conditioning, Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu nestled together on the sofa and watched TV.
"We can see that after the previous beast attack, the damaged area of Luoming District has been re-occupied, and the damaged office buildings have been reopened for office ......"
On TV, a young and beautiful presenter is facing the camera lens, introducing the scene to the audience of the evening news.
"Xia Liang, change the channel." Lin Xiaolu stared at the TV screen with a bored expression, stretched out her foot, and kicked Xia Liang's calf.
"For what?" Raising her head lazily, Xia Liang glanced at her.
"I'm going to watch the animation."
"I don't know which channel the animation is on."
"Can't you just find it while tuning?"
"It seems to be."
Standing up and picking up the remote control from the coffee table in front of the sofa, Xia Liang pressed the button on the remote control and said, "Speaking of which, Xiaolu." ”
"What's wrong?"
"Is that building in the news just now where your dad works?"
"Which one?"
"It's the news that says the affected areas are reopening."
"Oh, that's right." Lin Xiaolu stared at the TV with a blank gaze.
"Doesn't that mean your dad is in danger too? Because of that bad magical girl with claw marks. ”
"According to him, no one was injured, and Delphinium also said that he deliberately protected ordinary people when he fought."
“…… The little senior protected your father. ”
"Yes, after all, the delphinium is the best."
Lin Xiaolu barely thought about it, as if it was a robot that was triggered by keywords, and subconsciously began to speak as a fan: "Powerful, gentle, mature, and cute......"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes."
Perfunctory to Lin Xiaolu like a child, Xia Liang couldn't help but change the topic with a dry smile: "It's just that ...... recently"
Her eyes glanced not far away, Lin Xiaolu's study.
Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but glance in the direction of the study, and then turned her face away:
"Tsk."
"It's making a very cute sound."
Xia Liang looked at Lin Xiaolu helplessly: "Do you care so much?" ”
"Concern? What do I care about? ”
Lin Xiaolu pouted and said, "It's just a temporary tutoring because the newcomer's progress can't keep up, isn't this a normal thing?" ”
"That's not what you said on your face at all, right?"
"The look on my face says I want to watch the anime now."
"It's already tuned to animation, look." Xia Liang pointed in the direction of the TV screen.
“…… Oh. Lin Xiaolu replied with a stiff expression.
As Xia Liang said, now she is not focusing on TV at all.
In the second half of the summer vacation, with the addition of Bai Jingxuan, although Delphinium was already trying to ensure that there was no favoritism, because of the difference in progress, she still had to spend part of her time alone to help Bai Jingxuan make up for more basic knowledge.
Bai Jingxuan is very young, and the learning of many knowledge requires more pre-courses, coupled with the various erratic behaviors she exhibits during the battle, which makes the delphinium gradually increase the time spent on her.
In the last few days of the summer vacation, she and Xia Lianglin Xiaolu's main time spent with each other was basically on evening tutoring, and during the day, she was completely focused on correcting Bai Jingxuan, a "problem child".
This has also led to the rapid warming of her relationship with Bai Jingxuan in recent times.
Delphinium's teaching style has always been cold but not indifferent, simple but not simplistic. Although the requirements and standards are slightly strict, they are not to the point of being harsh, and it can be said that he is a qualified and good teacher.
After half a month of getting along, if Bai Jingxuan called "teacher" at the beginning, it was just an expression of etiquette; So now, when she shouted this sentence, she already thought so from the bottom of her heart.
This also made Lin Xiaolu, who saw everything in his eyes, quite uncomfortable.
For Bai Jingxuan, a junior, her attitude is not cordial and distant, but at least it is much better than the feeling of Xia Liang at the beginning.
Such a child with a poor background and a physical disability, it is impossible for her to speak ill of each other, and she has been as friendly as possible with him on weekdays.
But when Bai Jingxuan's relationship with Delphinium gradually became better, she was still sour.
She was trying to tell herself that she had no reason to be honest with a child who was three years younger than herself; What's more, the other party has always treated him with a smile and respect, and now he is jealous of others, wouldn't it seem too cautious?
Besides, it is necessary for Delphinium and that child to get along more, and the teaching and training of magical girls is not child's play. It is precisely because of the slow progress of the other party that there are still many problems that Delphinium needs more attention, doesn't this mean that Delphinium is more satisfied with herself?
Just like Xia Liang, she is the most worry-free among several people, so she pays the least attention, isn't it a matter of course?
But even after thinking about it, she subconsciously puffed out her cheeks.
Because if you want to think about it, you can't help it.
looked at the TV with a blank look in his eyes, and after a while, the movement in the study suddenly attracted Lin Xiaolu's attention. She lifted her head slightly.
With her eyes refocused, she looked in the direction of the door of the study, only to see Delphinium leading Bai Jingxuan out of the door with an expressionless face. And Bai Jingxuan followed behind him, as if she had done something wrong, and followed suit like a dejected little animal.
Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but feel a little ugly joy in her heart, but this joy didn't last for a few seconds before it completely dissipated with Delfinch's behavior.
"I'll send Boxue back to where she lives, and you can continue to rest. After dinner, I went to Xia Liang's house to wait for me. ”
Pausing at the door, Delphinium faced the two girls in the living room and said, "Remember to watch TV for an hour to rest your eyes, and then don't tilt your head all the time, these behaviors are not good for your eyesight." ”
After saying this, she walked out of Lin Xiaolu's house and buckled the door of the entrance with her backhand.
"Click."
With this short and crisp sound, Lin Xiaolu also froze in place.
