Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 232 Wang Yao
Although most magical girls don't like to talk about this, an objective fact is that magical girls' magic costumes actually have different ratings.

In fact, this is also an assessment item for the magical girl qualification certification in the magic kingdom.

This rating project is quite complicated. It will be judged based on the ability specifications, scope of action, application areas, development potential, stability and other aspects of the magical girl's magic costume, and finally a comprehensive rating will be given to the magical girl's magic costume.

Of course, this rating can be changed, because the magic costume will evolve along with the growth of the magical girl herself. Some magic costumes that perform poorly at first may become very powerful due to the efforts of their owners. Among magical girls, everything is possible.

However, even so, after the continuous development of the research on magic costumes in the magic kingdom, a hypothesis was still proposed as a general solution. That is, the potential of the magic costumes of magical girls is often related to "complexity".

That is, the more "complex" the magic suit is, the more likely it is to become powerful.

Although most magic costumes have the appearance of a "single object", such as Bai Jingxuan's magic costume is a music box, Bai Ji's magic costume is a pen... but there will always be some special cases among the massive samples.

Based on a single object, some magical girls' magic costumes initially appear in pairs, such as a pair of gloves, a pair of boots, or a pair of daggers.

This kind of "paired" magic armor is more "complex" than a single object's magic armor. In other words, the initial potential of this kind of magic armor is relatively higher.

Since there are "pairs" of magic costumes, there will naturally be "groups" of magic costumes. For example, there was once a magical girl in the East Japan region who possessed a magic costume that consisted of a "bag of shurikens". Later, other magical girls also awakened magic costumes that consisted of a row of test tubes and a pile of white paper.

In addition to the group, there are more special magic costumes, which are expressed as a "set", that is, multiple magic costumes of different forms are combined with each other, such as some magic girl magic costumes are in the form of "painting tool boxes" or "makeup bags". Such magic costumes are considered to have extremely high potential, because many famous magic girls in history have similar magic costumes. Even if we pull history closer to the last Queen's year, there are examples like "cornflowers", which continue to prove the value of set magic costumes.

So, going a step further, is there any magic suit that theoretically has more potential than the "suit type"?
Semi hadn't thought about this question because he had never seen such a magic costume before.

It had seen many exaggerated magical abilities in the hands of many magical girls, and it had also seen from afar what Cornflower did in the garden defense battle. It was well-informed, so it felt that it should no longer be surprised by the magical abilities of magical girls.

But the fact is, it is still very shocked now.

Because it is the first time that I have seen a magic suit that can "transform".

Not to mention the rebellious appearance of the magic suit in the beginning, which was a "scepter" - if the opponent's magic power was not still at the bud to leaf level, it would have thought that there was another gemstone scepter attached to the body - such a rebellious magic suit could actually transform? If it was just changing the external form of the magic suit like Yuan, it would be fine, but when the magic suit in the opponent's hand turned into a spear, it could clearly feel that even the nature of the opponent's magic power had changed!

In other words, if the magic suit in the opponent's hand changes shape, it is almost equivalent to her transforming again!
What is the purpose of this? Are they going to bloom at the bud level?
All these abnormal phenomena made Semi almost forget that he was still fighting. He thought he was watching a presentation of the latest research results of some national research institute - if the opponent had not been tripped by the weapon in his hand.

It was not until then that Semi finally reacted. Although it looked very fancy, the essence of the matter was nothing more than that the other party had completed the development of his abilities, upgraded from the seed level to the bud level, and awakened his own magic suit.

Even if the design of that magic suit is extremely outrageous, even Claw Mark doesn't dare to use a magic suit of this design; even if the form of this magic suit is also extremely outrageous, it has never seen a magic suit that has a fixed form and can also transform; even if the ability displayed by this magic suit is also extremely outrageous, it can directly change the nature of its own magic power, which is equivalent to transforming again... but no matter what, it is just a magic suit.

The opponent is still just a budding rookie, but I have already reached the semi-metamorphosis level of a "remnant beast". In terms of the evolutionary level of ability alone, my advantage is overwhelming.

Yes, the advantage is mine.

After convincing himself in this way, Semi immediately adjusted his mentality.

It's just a budding level, and it only has an extra magic outfit. But I still have many hidden means. It's just a matter of exchanging trump cards. I have plenty of cards to play.

Thinking of this, it raised its paw and looked down at Lin Xiaolu who was lying on the ground. After a slight pause, it swung its paw down fiercely.

clang.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaolu on the ground did not fall so much that she forgot she was fighting. She got up in time and used her spear to block Semi's attack.

This hasty parry caused her to be once again thrown away by Semi's tremendous force, and she rolled on the ground for a long time before she stood up again.

"Bah, bah."

She spat out the mud in her mouth with a look of disgust, wiped the dirt off her face, and tried hard to hold the spear in her hand to maintain her balance, but still looked at Semi in front of her with burning eyes.

Obviously, the embarrassment just now did not make her feel frustrated.

Rather, it was because of her fall that she sobered up from her impulsive emotions and was able to re-examine the capabilities of her magic suit.

Wang Yao - Guardian form. Since there is a suffix "form" after the name, it is enough to show that this "form" is not single. This is indeed the case. At least now she has two forms.

One is the basic form that appears as a white scepter when it first awakens, and the other is the guard form that is used now and appears as a spear.

What surprised her the most was that the ability of her own magic suit seemed to change with the change of its form.

The basic form of Wang Yao, that is, the white scepter, has a very simple ability, that is, when Lin Xiaolu takes out her magic suit, she can restore all the magic power she has consumed before. In other words, it is a simple and crude ability to restore to full status.

Of course, it is only useful when it is extracted for the first time, and it cannot be triggered repeatedly by taking back the magic suit and then extracting it.

Although it sounds a bit monotonous, for most magical girls, this is an absolutely powerful ability, because magic is everything to a magical girl. Having such an ability, although it cannot be simply regarded as doubling the magic power, it can definitely be regarded as a significant increase in sustained combat effectiveness.

Apart from this, the basic form has no other abilities. Fortunately, Wang Yao has more than just the scepter form. When she switches to the guard form of the spear, her magic suit abilities also change.

As for what the abilities of the guard form were, Lin Xiaolu just held the spear in her hand, briefly browsed the information in her mind, and then showed a somewhat surprised look.

Soon, this astonishment turned into surprise, excitement, and even eagerness to try.

As a result, the way she looked at Semi changed from the previous hostility and anger to a look as if she was looking at a target. Although the hostility in it was greatly reduced, the desire to destroy was greatly increased.

This kind of look made Semi feel quite uncomfortable. He felt like a sandbag being examined by a boxer, or a fish being examined by a chef on a chopping board - why would a bud level player look at him with such eyes?

Even if the opponent's awakened magic equipment seems to be a little more powerful and the magic power seems to be a little more, can this factor make up for the gap brought by the rules?

Thinking this way, it boosted its confidence once again. All the worries in its heart disappeared, and it felt that the chances of winning were still on its side.

Then, it saw Lin Xiaolu in front of it, as if trying to recall something. She held the spear in her arms as if she was holding a piece of firewood, opened her palms, and tried to move her fingers.

As she kept winking and making faces, something gradually emerged between those moving fingers, from nothing to something, from shallow to deep, from short to long, and slowly appeared in front of Semi with the rhythm of the fingers.

Those are several threads made of magic power.

It is composed of light blue magic power, shimmering with a faint glow, but it is a magical thread that makes people unable to take their eyes away.

As Lin Xiaolu moved, the silk threads became longer and longer, becoming more and more entangled. Finally, like a spider web, in front of Semi's extremely shocked eyes - Lin Xiaolu was trapped inside it.

"what?"

"what?"

The man and the goblin made sounds of surprise in perfect sync.

The blue moon in the sky shone quietly, the grass and trees on the ground swayed gently, and the light blue magic screen was magnificent. However, all these scenes were silent, leaving quietness to the scene, which became the only main theme.

Then, it was Semi who reacted first, and asked with a little confusion: "Is the ability of your magic suit to make others laugh?"

"What's it to you? As long as it's enough!" Lin Xiaolu was finally a little angry and embarrassed. She scattered the silk threads around her and no longer considered using those fancy abilities. She picked up her spear and rushed forward again.

This time, having learned from her previous experience, she did not dare to walk on the ground, but flew directly, and flew several meters high to prevent the same mistake from happening again.

clang!
As the spear and Semi's claws intersected, the two fought again.

Compared to the way she could only use the magic wand to block one or two attacks before awakening the magic suit, and fought and retreated under the cover of magic bullets, Lin Xiaolu has become much more aggressive after acquiring the magic suit.

Firstly, the strength of her magic suit was greatly improved compared to her magic wand. Even when she was in direct conflict with the body of a crippled beast, she was not at a disadvantage and even had a slight advantage. Secondly, her magic power was fully restored. Compared to Semi after she opened the nest and used the rules, her magic retention was much better.

In addition, there is the problem on Semi's side: its ability to guard against Lin Xiaolu's magic suit.

Because Lin Xiaolu never said what her magic suit ability was, it didn't dare to fight back with all its strength, but fought and retreated, always leaving room for itself, waiting for Lin Xiaolu to show her ability in the battle. Those strange magic threads immediately reminded it of cornflowers, and whether it was the performance of cornflowers in the garden defense battle or the battle with Yuan, it made it wary of the ability of this kind of magic suit.

If the opponent's ability is mediocre, then it can naturally counterattack with all its strength at any time; and if the opponent's ability is rather cheating, it can retreat immediately to prevent itself from suffering losses due to information asymmetry.

You know, there are more than one person locked up in its nest. Even if you defeat this bud-level rookie in front of you, there are at least two leaf-level ones waiting for you to deal with. If you get seriously injured here, it will be disadvantageous to the subsequent battle.

Therefore, considering the different considerations of both sides, the battle situation showed a rather strange situation: a bud-level magical girl who had just awakened her magic outfit was suppressing a half-metamorphosised remnant beast that had mastered some of the rules.

Lin Xiaolu was advancing with great strides, while Semi was fighting and retreating.

Of course, both sides know that this situation cannot continue.

Lin Xiaolu thought she was not a fool. Although she had seen the power of her magic suit and even tried to use part of it just now, she still hadn't revealed her true colors. She was suppressing the opponent at this time, trying to force Semi to reveal a flaw so that she could achieve her goal in one fell swoop.

The same goes for Semi. It is also waiting for Lin Xiaolu to show her abilities. As long as the other party reveals part of her abilities, it can immediately formulate a corresponding strategy instead of engaging in a meaningless fight like now.

And the opportunity that both sides had been waiting for soon arrived.

Perhaps it was because she didn't have enough experience in fighting, or maybe it was simply because she was not good at using the spear. In short, under the continuous reckless attacks, even though she had tried her best to avoid it, Lin Xiaolu still revealed a big flaw.

As the thrust missed, she had unknowingly left her abdomen unprotected.

There was no reason for Semi to pass up this opportunity.

With such a huge flaw, as long as it can seize it, the opponent will definitely have to use more means to make up for it. Even if it can return to defense, it must show more things, such as the ability of magic equipment.

So it twisted its body decisively, and the two tails behind it fluttered, accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, and like a long whip, it lashed towards Lin Xiaolu's abdomen.

At such a critical moment, Lin Xiaolu did not seem panicked.

She had not anticipated the current mistake, but in fact, she had long anticipated that she would make a mistake.

Mistakes are not surprising, especially when you are using a weapon you have never used before. What is important is how to make up for the mistakes.

Lin Xiaolu has actually thought about this.

Suddenly, a shining magic thread appeared behind her, which suddenly pulled her body forward at the critical moment, and then dragged her backwards like a puppet.

Yes, this was exactly the move that Delphinium had used in the battle with Yuan not long ago.

This was also one of the first uses that Lin Xiaolu considered after discovering that her magic suit could use silk thread.

She had imagined countless times what her magic costume would look like. If she had just become a magical girl, she would have chosen without hesitation to use the abilities of the characters in the anime as a template to imagine her own abilities.

Later, as she got to know more about her identity as a magical girl, the magic costume and abilities she wanted to possess kept changing. There was even a time when she even dreamed about what her magic costume should look like.

However, there was no moment like when she discovered that her magic suit actually contained the form of "silk thread", which made her excited from the bottom of her heart.

There is no doubt that she likes silk threads.

No matter what she thought of this kind of "weapon" before, at least after she got to know Delphinium and witnessed its battles countless times, for her, silk thread was the best weapon in the world.

Even silk thread is now her most familiar weapon.

Even though she had never used it herself, even though she had never thought of fighting in this way before, but the moment she extracted the silk thread from the magic suit, the question of "how to fight with this weapon" already had the answer in her mind.

Delphinium taught.

This reason speaks louder than a thousand words.

Of course, her control over the silk thread was clearly not good enough now, and it was impossible for her to wield it as easily as Delphinium, but it was more than enough to control just one thread and pull herself out of danger.

This is the reason why she dares to keep attacking, even when she knows she might reveal a flaw.

Not only that, when she used the silk thread to get herself out of danger, and when she lured Semi to attack her weakness, the offensive and defensive momentum had actually changed a second time.

Now, it was Semi who revealed the flaw.

The more resolute and reckless your attack is, the more you lose the possibility of evasion.

And this is the opportunity that Lin Xiaolu has been looking for.

Almost at the same time as she was pulled back by the silk thread, she turned the spear in her hand over, holding it as a throwing spear, raised it high up like a javelin, and threw it out.

There was naturally no place to gain leverage when throwing it like this. Theoretically, there was no threat. In fact, it was true. The spear she threw was weak and powerless, and it wasn't even thrown in a straight line. The spear body drew an arc in the air at an angle, like a silent mockery.

But before Semi could think about the other party's intention, the spear thrown into the sky suddenly turned around and suddenly pointed at it.

Whoosh.

As if attracted by a magnet, as if it had its own soul, the spear suddenly began to accelerate in mid-air, as if pushed by something, and suddenly shot towards Semi.

There was no time to react, and Semi, who was still in the middle of an attack, didn't even have time to retract his attack. He could only take advantage of the momentum of the attack and continue to turn his body, trying to use his tail to meet the spear and thus resolve the attack head-on.

Its judgment was undoubtedly correct. If the spear continued to shoot along this trajectory, it would definitely be able to block the attack.

However, its judgment was also wrong, because this time, it finally had no time to take care of its ability to guard against Lin Xiaolu.

In just a moment, at the same time that Semi changed his posture, the spear thrown by Lin Xiaolu changed its trajectory again. This time, the spear seemed to be pulled by something, drawing an arc in the air, bypassing Semi's tail as if it had eyes, accelerating again, and shooting straight towards its eyes.

why?
This was the only question left in Sammy's mind.

As this question was raised, it began to re-examine its situation, and then noticed that a tiny magic thread had been attached to its eyes.

It was this magic thread that was pulling the spear not far away.

This is actually Lin Xiaolu's magic suit, Wang Yao's guard form's abilities - guidance and piercing.

As long as the silk thread is connected, the spear can reach anywhere; as long as the silk thread is anchored, any spear can pierce.

Although in fact this ability still needs to be prefixed with "sufficient magic power", it is obvious that bypassing the two tails and piercing the opponent's eyes, which is already a weak point, will definitely not cause Lin Xiaolu's magic power to be exhausted.

This is why Lin Xiaolu has kept her abilities hidden until now, just waiting for that decisive blow.

Only when used at this time can you force the opponent into a desperate situation.

Stab it, stab it.

Continuing to fly backwards under the pull of the silk thread, Lin Xiaolu opened her eyes wide, looked at Semi who was gradually going away, and kept calling out in her heart.

Because this is her most crucial card, it must work once it is played.

And in the midst of her sincere prayers, Semi, who had no way to escape, finally "meowed" in annoyance, and as if he had given up something, he suddenly closed his one eye.

Then, the huge body of the beast flashed twice in the air and disappeared from Lin Xiaolu's sight.
