Rong City Gymnasium.
The stadium, capable of holding tens of thousands of people for a football match, was now empty, dim, and gloomy.
Two tall dark figures stood silently on the football field's green turf, their eyes shining with starlight in the darkness.
Starry Sky Aberrants.
— If a Magic Girl had been present, she would have immediately recognized the true identities of these two Monsters.
Coincidentally, the Magic Girls were at the scene.
“Are those the two Monsters Xin Yuehu summoned?”
Nightingale clutched her magic wand, asking her companions in a low voice.
The three of them stared at the two giant figures on the football field's green turf.
One looked like a Crab Monster, the other a giant black bear, standing back-to-back in perfect sync, doing nothing.
“… Hmm, that's right.” Hyacinth replied, summoning a greatsword to her hand, on high alert.
The Monsters did not attack, nor did the Magic Girls rush forward to confront them.
Iris silently summoned a magic cannon beside her, preparing to fire, while Nightingale retreated to a safe distance to cast magic shields on the two of them.
Nan Xiaofeng slowly landed on the green field, gripping her greatsword tightly, not daring to be even slightly negligent.
In her perception, although these two Monsters looked exactly the same as yesterday, their magic aura was significantly stronger than yesterday.
It was even almost comparable to that Star Realm Jellyfish!
The Monsters also seemed to have noticed the arrival of Hyacinth and her two companions, their starlight-filled eyes fixed on the three, yet they also made no move.
“… Be careful, those two are very powerful.”
Hyacinth murmured to herself, as if communicating with her companions.
And not far away, an invisible camera was faithfully recording everything that was happening.
…
“Good evening, everyone ~ Fox Fox Appearance ~!”
A vibrant voice rang out from the Villain's rooftop.
Accompanied by the familiar opening, the Golden Fox's figure appeared on the live stream screen, giving a “kira” to the camera.
The live stream room was already packed with people, all drawn by the battle announcement and live stream preview. Even before Su Tianqing entered the live stream room, they had already begun enthusiastically discussing the two Monsters.
“Oh my, everyone came so early,”
Su Tianqing said in surprise,
“It seems everyone is really looking forward to the Magic Girls' performance tonight, let's wait and see! ~”
The camera switched.
The scene of the Magic Girls confronting the Monsters was magnified onto the main screen, and people immediately noticed the Magic Girls' positioning.
Hyacinth was in the very front as always, but Nightingale had retreated to the outermost perimeter, the center circle instead given to Iris, who was responsible for fire support.
Ordinary people naturally couldn't understand the Magic Girls' positioning, but Su Tianqing recognized it at a glance:
“Oh? Is that a new tactic learned from the Autumn Osmanthus Squad?”
Su Tianqing commented aloud.
This was something Ben Hu learned from the Observer Knowledge Compendium!
The Autumn Osmanthus Squad was the Magic Girl squad from the neighboring mountain city, similar in lineup to the Hyacinth Squad, also with a melee main attacker, fire suppression, and a support.
Hyacinth and her squad's formation was probably learned from the Autumn Osmanthus Squad.
“This formation allows Nightingale's vision to be maximized, and Iris can also respond to Hyacinth's actions more quickly, making it a very versatile formation.”
The bullet comments immediately filled with expressions of sudden realization, and some even started popularizing the essence of the Autumn Osmanthus Squad's formation in SC, explaining it eloquently, drawing a round of applause from the bullet comments.
Su Tianqing took note of the popularizer's ID.
【Autumn Osmanthus's Shoes My Lunchbox】
… What a cringe ID.
“Thank you to this viewer for the SC and explanation ~”
Su Tianqing really couldn't bring herself to read that outrageous ID, so she could only smile wryly and gloss over it,
“What this viewer said is correct, Magic Girl squads often communicate with each other, forming tactics that best suit them, and they also have very strong distinctive features.”
Observing the Monsters she summoned through the camera's perspective, Su Tianqing popularized relevant knowledge for the viewers.
The bullet comments immediately flooded the screen with “Fox Fox knows so much” and “Smart Fox Fox” comments.
But many more outrageous IDs also appeared, even including such outrageous IDs as 【Fox Fox's Little Feet My Rice Spoon】.
Su Tianqing selectively ignored the cringe IDs.
“Huh? Want to go watch live?” Seeing a dangerous comment float by, Su Tianqing quickly dissuaded,
“No, absolutely do not go to the scene!”
“Don't approach on your own just because the Monsters Ben Hu summoned are safe. The destructive power of magic is no joke!”
“You must pay attention to your own life safety, and you must listen to Fox Fox, stay away from where the Magic Girls and Monsters are fighting!”
Emphasizing her villainous principles very seriously, Su Tianqing continued to focus on the situation at the gymnasium.
Today, her original plan was to invite Catcat Rabbitrabbit to come play together.
But both of them were troubled by exams, and even Catcat seemed to feel the pressure of studying, uncharacteristically missing a villain activity.
【If I don't study, I'm really going to fail! Sorry, Fox Fox! I'll definitely come tomorrow night!】
These were Catcat's original words.
And Rabbitrabbit was much shyer:
【Ah… Lord Fox Fox, I'm very, very sorry… I have another exam tomorrow… If I don't study…】
“It's okay, anyway, today I'm just letting the Monsters test their limits, so you two focus on your studies ~”
Villain Fox Fox was very understanding of her companions' feelings when facing exams, and quite lenient.
“Today's students are truly pitiful, they have endless exams every day.” Su Tianqing sighed with emotion.
Speaking of which, Ben Hu also needs to prepare for an exam; Ben Hu also has a course with a final exam tomorrow, so Ben Hu should take some time tonight to review and consolidate her basics.
Anyway, it was all learned in her previous life, so Ben Hu can pass even with her eyes closed!
【How does Fox Fox plan to pick a fight with the Magic Girls today?】
An SC scrolled by in the bullet comments, and Su Tianqing keenly caught the familiar ID.
Junzi You Jiu, Little Fish's alt account.
“Thanks for Junzi You Jiu's SC ~ Fox Fox is still playing with the Magic Girls using Monsters today, and tomorrow Ben Hu will invite Catcat Rabbitrabbit to play together, so please look forward to it ~”
Just as she was about to respond to the discussion in the bullet comments, the camera immediately caught a bright light.
“Oh? … It looks like today's protagonists have finally made their move.”
The Magic Girl launched the first attack, Iris's magic cannon dissipating on the Crab Monster's carapace, leaving no trace.
Iris was slightly surprised and immediately began to charge up for the next magic cannon, but the little fox, watching happily, grinned.
“Today's Crab Monster is not to be compared with yesterday's,”
The Golden Fox said with a chuckle,
“This is specifically prepared for Miss Iris — the Anti-Magic Cannon Crab.”
The next second, a white light suddenly lit up on the Crab Monster's hard, sturdy carapace!
Before Iris could react, a dazzling beam of magic power burst from the carapace! Firing straight at her!
One of the Crab Monster's finely tuned special abilities, a special attack against Iris,
【Magic Cannon Reflection】
“Kaboom!!!”
“Whoa?!”
Iris took a direct hit from her own magic cannon beam. Her magic shield instantly shattered, and her body was sent flying far away by the shockwave, crashing into the audience seats, kicking up a cloud of dust.
“Iris!!”
Nightingale quickly cast another magic shield on her companion.
“It reflected the magic cannon back.” Nightingale saw the full extent of what happened from the air and immediately conveyed the news to Iris.
The two looked at Hyacinth, who was locked in a fierce battle with the two Monsters, and suddenly realized a fatal truth,
If Iris's proud magic cannon was nullified by the Crab Monster, then that also meant…
“Hehehe… You caught on quickly.” Seeing the two's reactions, Su Tianqing grinned mischievously.
“So, can you think of a way to break the stalemate? Magic Girls~?”
The Magic Girls are in great danger!
