Transform into a magical girl after getting off work

Is it a magical girl?

Upon seeing the silhouette outside the window, Lin Yun's first thought was just that. After all, only a magical girl, who could fly freely and dressed so fancily, generally fits the bill.

It wasn't to say that a magician couldn't imitate a similar style of dress, but unfortunately, a magician with enough magic power and spell proficiency to smoothly float in the air was most likely past the age of "girl."

Then, why would a magical girl appear there at this time?

Lin Yun didn't recognize the face of the girl in the black dress; he was sure she wasn't any of his "old acquaintances." She likely wasn't a newcomer from Fangting City either; otherwise, Lin Yun would have had no reason not to recognize her.

Was she a magical girl from out of town?

Many questions surfaced in his mind, and then Lin Yun began to think about his next move.

Should he transform into a magical girl to inquire about her intentions, or should he pretend not to see her and let her come and go as she pleases?

Transforming right now was clearly out of the question.

Currently, he was in the general manager's office. If he transformed, he would inevitably be seen by Wang Tengfei, who was an ordinary person, which would be an unnecessary leak of information.

Although the aftermath could be taken care of by the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, having him sign a confidentiality clause, or even using spell techniques to subtly suggest that he forget about the incident, transforming in front of someone else was something Lin Yun hoped to avoid as much as possible.

Ignoring the situation wasn't an option either, because he couldn't allow a magical girl of unknown origin, not knowing if she was friend or foe, to roam freely in Fangting City.

In any case, without discussing anything else, he at least couldn't continue wasting time in the general manager's office.

So he spoke up, ready to end his conversation with Wang Tengfei: "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, but I have some matters to attend to next, and I won't take up more of your time. What's next..."

But mid-sentence, Lin Yun's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw the girl in the sky, her long hair dancing in the wind, her black dress coated with a layer of gold in the sunlight.

He saw the earthen-yellow magic power shining in the girl's hand, pointing directly towards the office building.

At this point, he could finally confirm that the visitor meant no good.

"Mr. Wang."

Lin Yun wasted no more words and stood up abruptly, seriously warning Wang Tengfei, "Get down."

The abruptness of his words made it impossible for Wang Tengfei to understand.

And he was destined not to have the time to understand, because as soon as he saw Lin Yun stand up, Lin Yun didn't utter another word, but instead ran towards where there should have been only a floor-to-ceiling window behind him.

Then, a burst of azure light flashed beside him, and a second later, a dull thud of shattering glass came from behind.

The next second, a powerful vibration came from outside the window, like an earthquake, making everyone in the office building feel an extremely strong shaking sensation.

"Ah? Did it miss?"

Not far away, the girl in the black dress looked at the building edge that now had a large crater: "Strange, I was sure I had aimed properly."

"Oh well, if it missed, I'll just shoot again."

——"No matter how many more times you try, you won't be able to hit me."

Such a voice suddenly came from not far away.

Following the direction of the voice, the girl saw a petite girl wearing a dark cyan long dress, floating in the air just like herself, with an indifferent expression on her face.

Seeing the other person, the girl was first taken aback, but then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a somewhat inexplicable smile, "Ah, you really are here?"

"'Really are here'? Are you looking for me?"

Emerald Sparrow, standing opposite her, extended her hand, and magic coalesced into a magic wand in her hand, "Greeting with a bombardment-type spell is hardly polite, you have one more minute. First explain why you have come here, then your intentions."

"Ah, sorry, I indeed should have introduced myself first."

As if truly sorry for such "rudeness," the girl bowed slightly, "Hello, I was once a registered Magical Girl in the Magic Kingdom, under the Ministry of Finance. My tenure was about fourteen years ago, my codename was 'Golden Bell'."

"However, that name is a thing of the past now. You can call me 'Sparrow'."

"If you don't understand what this codename means, then allow me to introduce us, a group of truly free Magical Girls, we are 'Claw Mark'."

"Are you satisfied with my self-introduction?"

At this point, the girl who called herself "Sparrow" lifted her head, and the smile on her face gradually became more defiant:

——"Likewise, the former Cornflower, if I may?"

Almost simultaneously as she uttered these words, without any warning, an extremely strong beam of magic had already shot out from the palm of her hand, aimed directly at where Emerald Sparrow was.

Not far away, Emerald Sparrow, still astonished by Sparrow's words, reacted swiftly. Her eyes widened, she raised her hand, and amidst several Favo runes, a simple magical barrier formed in an instant, timely blocking the sudden attack from the girl who claimed to be "Sparrow."

"It seems you do know quite a bit."

The barrier held against the magic beam, locked in a stalemate of magical intensity. Emerald Sparrow looked up at Sparrow, her expression turning even colder, "Knowing full well it was me, you dared to come to Fangting City and provoke me? Or did you think that mentioning a discarded name would allow for a successful sneak attack? Is everyone in your organization called Claw Mark as foolishly bold as you?"

Her words caused Sparrow's smile to falter momentarily, her eyebrows twitching as if quite displeased, but this emotion was quickly concealed, leaving only a bright smile:

"Ah, of course not."

"Although just a former Cornflower, you were indeed a Cornflower once. I didn't expect to easily kill you with a simple sneak attack; you old birds still have some substance after all."

"But what if I told you my reliance is actually this?"

As she spoke these words, the originally earthy-yellow magic beam was suddenly enveloped by a surge of purple-black magic.

And when the purple-black magic made contact with Emerald Sparrow's magical barrier, the once immovable barrier aged instantaneously, becoming incredibly thin and brittle, then a web of cracks appeared.

The process was too brief for Emerald Sparrow to make any reparations, and the barrier shattered, exploding right before her eyes.

Boom!

With nothing left to obstruct its path, the beam obliterated the magical barrier, engulfing the space where she had been, piercing through Emerald Sparrow directly.
