Rong City Seventh Middle School, one of the best high schools in Rong City.
In Su Tianqing's memory, the original 'Miss Su Tianqing' graduated from this high school and was admitted to the nearby Rongcheng Medical College.
It was completely for convenience due to the close distance, Su Tianqing thought.
It was 8:30 PM.
The Golden Fox sat in a Starbucks at the entrance of Rong City Seventh Middle School, quietly watching the students leave after evening self-study.
After leaving the campus, the young couples held hands and cuddled together, their affectionate display making the Fox Fox pout.
"Tsk..."
"The sour smell of love..."
The Golden Fox complained in her heart.
Although she wasn't disgusted, she never expected to be fed 'dog food' just by playing on her phone in a coffee shop.
It seems everyone's high school life is quite colorful.
Su Tianqing couldn't help but recall her own high school experience—referring to the original Miss Su Tianqing.
Waking up at 6:30 AM, taking an hour-long subway ride to school for morning reading, eating in the cafeteria at noon and napping at her desk, then taking the subway home after evening self-study to do some homework before sleeping.
A repetitive, dull, and monotonous life that she didn't want to recall at all.
She was even ostracized by classmates because of her Beastkin identity, never participating in any activities, only gathering once for the graduation photo.
...Why does this kind of life feel so familiar?
Putting aside old memories, Su Tianqing drank the last sip of her latte, wiped her mouth, and stood up to leave.
The students dispersed quickly.
The crowded and lively school entrance quickly vanished, becoming empty in just twenty minutes, with only occasional passersby from nearby residents.
Boarding students returned to their dorms, classroom lights were turned off one by one, and the campus became incredibly quiet.
As if it fell into slumber with the departure of the students.
On a nearby rooftop, the Golden Magical Girl gazed at the occasional pedestrians below, her hands behind her back, humming a song that did not belong to this world.
It would be nine o'clock soon, would Hellcat appear?
Su Tianqing loved cats, both in her previous life and as the former Miss Su Tianqing.
As for Cat Girl?
Please, Cat Girls are simply the greatest miracle in the world, second only to cute Fox Fox.
Not to mention, it was a loli Cat Girl!
Cute Cat Cat, hehehe.
"Uncle, could you open the door for me?"
A faint female voice came from the main entrance of the school, pulling Su Tianqing out of her dazed state and back to reality.
The Magic Girl's five senses had been enhanced by magic; with a slight application of hearing enhancement magic, she could hear clearly from this distance.
"Hmm? Coming so late, did you forget something?"
"Y-yes, I forgot my keys in the drawer, Uncle, please let me in, I'll be out very quickly!"
"...Sigh."
The night shift security guard sighed softly, took out his keys, and opened the door for the anxious female student in front of him.
Forgetting keys was quite critical.
"Go on, come back as soon as possible."
"Thank you, Uncle!"
Su Tianqing watched her.
The girl jogged up to the teaching building, then came down panting, and hastily boarded the last bus.
Very ordinary, nothing happened.
Watching the bus leave, Su Tianqing glanced at her magic detector beside her, which showed no movement.
No reaction... It seems this girl is quite ordinary, and there are no signs of Monsters lurking around, and the current time is also...
Before she finished her thought, the magic detector suddenly lit up with a striking dark blue arrow, pointing directly towards the teaching building.
"She's really here!?"
The Fox Fox quickly activated her invisibility magic and hid in the shadows, looking in the direction of the arrow, where she clearly saw a small figure on the rooftop of the teaching building.
A very inconspicuous, petite figure, yet she clearly emitted a strong magical aura.
Villainous Magic Girl, Hellcat.
She really appeared.
Su Tianqing remained silent, not rushing to question her, but quietly observed.
Why would she suddenly appear at Seventh Middle School?
There were no Monsters lurking here today, so Hyacinth and Iris wouldn't come. What was her purpose in coming to such a place?
...
She paused for a few seconds.
Suddenly, Hellcat leaped down from the teaching building, activated her flight magic, and drifted towards a certain direction.
Su Tianqing checked her invisibility spell, confirming there were no flaws, then quickly followed.
Hellcat didn't fly fast, but her flying skills were quite experienced and excellent, with no magical trail visible.
This Cat Girl seemed to be tracking something.
This made the Fox Fox's confusion even stronger.
But along with it came an even more intense curiosity, an urgent desire to find out what this person really wanted to do.
Ah, she landed.
While flying, Hellcat suddenly rapidly lowered her altitude, landing on a side street leading to a residential area.
This was already some distance from Seventh Middle School, and Su Tianqing quickly caught up.
The last bus at nine o'clock had just driven out of that side street, and the surroundings were very quiet, only the chirping of insects and the sound of nearby residents' televisions could be heard.
It was very quiet, no screams or fights, and she couldn't even find Hellcat's location for a moment.
The magic detector pointed in a certain direction.
Following the arrow's guidance, Su Tianqing turned a corner and looked at the dark blue Magic Girl not far away.
And in her arms was the girl who had just run into the teaching building to get her keys, now unconscious with her eyes closed.
Aha! The Fox Fox caught her!
...Hellcat.
The Fox Fox softly called out.
The Cat Girl shivered all over, her tail pulled back sharply, and she turned back in a panic, her eyes surprised and bewildered.
She probably hadn't expected her to appear here at all.
Xin Yuehu?!... Why are you here?
"I was going to ask you that. Why are you here, and what's with the girl in your arms?"
Su Tianqing said, hands on her hips.
Hearing the Golden Fox say this, the dark blue-furred Cat Girl quickly hid the girl behind her.
This action reminded Su Tianqing of a protective kitten.
"I saw this child first! Didn't you already tie up Iris yesterday?!"
"You saw her first?"
"Yes, this child has a strong magical aura, though not as strong as Iris and Hyacinth."
"Strong magical aura??"
...As a villainous Magic Girl, you wouldn't not know about magic replenishment, would you?
"Magic replenishment???"
Suspicion.
I understand every word, but when put together, I don't understand it at all.
"Wait a moment, wait for me."
Su Tianqing raised her hand to stop the other party from speaking, and pinched the tip of her ear, trying to sort out her thoughts.
"What does magic replenishment mean?"
"Literal meaning."
Hellcat stood up straight, her expression a little helpless.
"You... You haven't replenished your magic before, have you?"
"I've never seen your Monster summoning magic before. I thought your magic consumption was very high, which is why you attacked Hyacinth so frequently."
"Don't you ever feel like you don't have enough magic?"
After a long pause, Su Tianqing answered blankly:
"Huh? No, I've never felt that way."
...
Hellcat's expression grew even stranger, even a little envious.
Then she realized something was wrong.
"Wait a minute, since you feel you have enough magic, then why do you still attack Hyacinth and Iris?"
"Well... Because it's a lot of fun."
The Fox Fox showed an innocent, bright smile.
