Chapter 61 The Problem
Chapter 61 The Problem
The hall was dimly lit.
Bai Youqing frowned, propped her chin up, bit the pen cap, and stared intently at the exam paper in front of her.
It's so difficult.
Even when faced with the last question on a math test, she could immediately come up with various solutions, but she was helpless when faced with a blank test paper of the same size.
If you encounter a severely wounded Cutter in the countryside, what would you choose to do?
A. Attack its eyes B. Attack its chest C. Turn and run D. Call for help from your companions
In the past, Bai Youqing would definitely have chosen one of the first two options. However, after experiencing several calamity beast incidents,
Her gaze lingered on the latter two options, conflicted.
But after thinking about it for a while, she felt that the previous options didn't seem to have any problems. What if this monster was injured by other magical girls?
It felt like taking a political exam; it seemed like every option was correct and could be chosen.
"Clang!"
Upon hearing the door open, Bai Youqing immediately stopped hesitating, quickly chose option B, and swiftly put away the printed Magical Girl Test Paper.
Even though she vaguely guessed that the correct answer should be C, she couldn't bring herself to turn around and run away.
"Brother, you're back!"
"Hmm, you're still doing your homework? Is there a lot of homework today?" Bai Yuze asked knowingly.
"That's a lot, but for a genius like me, it's so easy."
"Yes, yes, Xiaoqing is the smartest girl in the world. Did you eat enough at school? Do you want me to make you something else to eat?" Bai Yuze patted Bai Youqing's head, but his gaze lingered on the test paper that wasn't properly covered up.
You can't even get such an easy question right, how dare you call yourself a genius?
"Okay, I want to eat dumplings."
"Okay, there are still some dumpling wrappers left from last time."
"Brother, let me help you!" Bai Youqing volunteered.
"No need, go and rest for a while after you finish your homework, relax."
Bai Yuzhe refused Bai Youqing's request. Ever since he had eaten Bai Youqing's terrible cooking when he was a child, he had never dared to let her into the kitchen again.
"Oh~" Bai Youqing left the kitchen with a reluctant expression.
But soon she got excited. It was good that she wasn't allowed into the kitchen; she could give her brother a big surprise later.
Bai Youqing turned on the TV, which was still showing Magical Girl, telling the story of Qing Ning leading a team of magical girls to capture the Abyss Demoness.
Her favorite character was the Lime Magical Girl. She was powerful, aloof, and very gentle to her teammates, but ruthless and merciless towards the monsters. In the end, the cunning monsters would run far away whenever they saw the Lime Magical Girl.
It's a shame that the anime only showed up until the Lime Magical Girl entered the Abyss Nest and the team members got lost, and then it ended. We'll have to wait another week to see what happens next.
"Brother, our class changed seats today."
"Oh? How's your new deskmate? Do you two get along?"
"It's alright. My new deskmate is new today. She's very pretty and, like Ms. Hoshino, is from Japan. She seems like a nice person. Today, I just helped her with a few problems."
In the afternoon, they treated me to cake. The cake shop looked so expensive. I chose the cheapest one, but it still cost over three or four hundred yuan. It was only the size of my palm, and it was gone before I could even taste it.
Bai Youqing thought for a moment, then added, "But it wasn't without its merits; the cake was very beautiful. By the way, brother, what kind of cake do you like?"
"Hmm, I don't think I have any particular favorites." Bai Yuze pondered for a moment, then shook his head.
"I see." Bai Youqing asked casually and then fell silent.
The dumplings were served, and Bai Youqing came running over, all excited.
He took a deep breath and praised, "It's all thanks to your dumplings, brother. No dumplings from outside taste like this."
"No matter how sweet your words are, it's useless. Go wash your hands before you eat." Bai Yuze gently tapped Bai Youqing's restless hand with his chopsticks.
"Hmph, you stupid brother."
Bai Youqing cursed and obediently went to the bathroom.
Bai Yuzhe could only shake his head helplessly at this.
Friday
The day Bai Yuze loved most and hated most.
He likes that after finishing today's classes, he'll have two days off.
What he hates is that he has two morning self-study sessions and two evening self-study sessions today, making it four out of eight classes a day.
Upon entering the office, Bai Yuze greeted his colleagues, including Hoshino-sensei.
Hoshino-sensei didn't reply, but simply nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Bai Yuze sighed slightly.
His guess yesterday was indeed correct.
Hoshino-sensei really doesn't want to talk to him today...
The atmosphere between the two now resembles the cold war they had when they were kids, with one saying, "I'm never playing with you again."
However, when his gaze shifted to Hoshino-sensei's keychain, he noticed that she hadn't taken it off.
So, Hoshino-sensei wasn't really angry.
The school bell rang, "Ding-a-ling!"
The bugle call to charge had sounded, and Bai Yuze took his 'weapon' and headed to the battlefield.
In Class A of Grade 11, the second period on Fridays is math class.
The math teacher, nearing fifty and with slightly balding hair, was explaining exercises on the floor, while Chigen Yama diligently took notes below, not giving up even though he didn't understand.
Bai Youqing's goodwill towards her deskmate greatly increased because of his spirit.
Who wouldn't like a deskmate who is diligent, studious, and good-looking?
Even though she's a girl, it's no exception...
Back row of the classroom
Ye Qing touched her face, which was still slightly sore.
After the last seating arrangement change, Ye Qing's location has also changed.
This time he got the spot where the anime protagonist was, sitting near the window with fresh air and a wide view.
Beside him was a delicate, supple, and easily pushed-over rich young lady.
The other party was just a bit uncooperative.
She was unwilling to adopt the spoiled, willful, aloof, and disdainful attitude of a pampered young lady.
Instead, they were filled with fear and trembled uncontrollably.
Sigh, he also longs to be looked down upon and ridiculed by a rich young lady, just like the protagonist in anime.
Then, as the protagonist, he lifted the thin veil and ruthlessly ravaged the young lady.
Seeing the other person's humiliating state of being unable to live or die is exciting just thinking about it.
"That student who was daydreaming---"
On the podium, the math teacher, having finished writing the problem, scanned the students below, looking for someone to answer.
So, their gaze immediately locked onto a certain young master who was lost in thought.
"Is this Ye Qing?"
"..." Hearing the roll call, Ye Qing snapped out of her reverie, stood up, and said, "Yes."
"Come up and write this problem."
"..."
The second period is over.
A noisy commotion gradually began to rise in my ears.
Bai Youqing and a group of girls returned to the classroom after finishing their morning exercises.
She took a box of tissues from her desk and placed it on the table for everyone to wipe their sweat.
"Xiaoqing, why are we all drenched in sweat after running, but you don't even pant? Is it because of your physique?" Gu Xiaorou asked with some envy.
"No, it's just that I've loved running since I was a child, and the more I run, the more exercise I get."
"Xiaoqing, you are so diligent. I can't do that. I always say I'm going to run. I was motivated a few days ago, but then I got lazy."
Me too.
Usually, as soon as get out of class is over, Gu Xiaorou would run to Bai Youqing's side, as if only being by Bai Youqing's side could bring her endless sense of security.
"Xiaoqing, are you free now? I still have a few questions I can't answer."
However, at that moment, Chigen Mima entered with his exercise book and cautiously inquired.
"Of course." Bai Youqing never refuses to help others.
Faced with this situation, the girls quickly dispersed.
Gu Xiaorou returned to her seat with a blank expression.
No, no!
No, she didn't want to go back to Ye Qing's side.
A loud roar echoed in my heart.
But no one listened.
After school, Chigen Mima once again invited Shiro Yuqing to go out for dessert.
They rejected me.
Bai Youqing believed that one such invitation was enough; going too often would easily cause others to dislike her.
Having no other choice, Chigen Mima had to leave the school alone.
Not far from the school,
A black minivan pulled up in front of him, and Ye Qing was sitting in the driver's seat.
"Hey beautiful, get in the car, I'll take you out for some fun."
Chiyuu Mima rolled her eyes at him. "Young Master, you're always so unserious. You're not even an adult yet. If the traffic police catch you, they'll impound your car. Let me drive."
"Things aren't like they used to be. Resources aren't that scarce now, so how could we mobilize so many traffic police to check cars? Besides, you drive and I ride every day. Now let's switch roles; I'll drive and you ride."
"That won't work, it doesn't meet the requirements..."
"Are you the young master, or am I the young master? Behave yourself."
"Okay." Chigen Mima pouted and obediently got into the car.
"How's it going with Bai Youqing?"
"It's alright, we're far from being as close as Miss Gu, but we can still be considered friends."
"Yes, these past few days, those adults have been quite irritable. It seems they've been angered by a magical girl, and their instructions have become increasingly urgent."
"Try again next week. If Bai Youqing isn't a magical girl, then we'll have to change targets. I heard there are a few suspects in Class D of the second year of high school."
Although his words carried an air of authority, Ye Qing's face showed no respect whatsoever.
"It's only because of your protection, young master, that those despicable rats have survived. But now that they've regained their strength, they're showing you less and less respect. If you hadn't stopped me yesterday, I would have torn her to pieces."
Qianyuan Mijian's eyes welled up with tears. He touched Ye Qing's face with some heartache, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of anger.
"Hmph, it's alright. To destroy someone, you must first drive them mad. Those witches won't be able to run rampant for long."
Ye Qing took the slap he received last night in stride, having already witnessed the madness of the villainous witch over the past year.
Harming humans, hunting magical girls, capturing magical spirits—each act more ruthless than the last—this is destined to lead to destruction.
Originally, the human authorities turned a blind eye to witches.
On one hand, humanity has indeed wronged these magical girls, causing them harm and tragic ends.
On the other hand, they are also fighting against the monsters.
Generally, unless it's a deeply sinful witch, after being captured by humans,
They were all sent to prisons for labor reform, but their treatment was much better than that of other criminals.
But now, things are completely different.
The founders of the witch organization either went into seclusion, left, or were captured.
The group of villainous witches has completely changed and has become the complete opposite of humanity.
Since that's the case, Ye Qing also adheres to the principle of taking advantage of every opportunity to fleece them, and then selling them for a good price.
