"See that, that place."
Silver Lotus said while pointing at a distant building.
Keke imdiately spotted the huge, eye-catching sign on the building.
Azure Cloud Sect Mother-Child Building Cave Dwelling.
Just one glance and you knew exactly who lived there...
"Isn't it a bit too... that...
As for what 'that' was, for the sake of Shion and the Azure Cloud Sect seniors' dignity, Keke didn't feel comfortable saying it out loud.
After returning to Beihai and seeing her big brother, she imdiately rushed to the Central Bureau,
never expecting the Azure Cloud Sect people to arrive even faster.
And they had already moved into a dedicated building, though this antique-style plaque was just too conspicuous.
Although Keke was a Magical Girl from the Beihai Disaster Control Bureau, deep down she sowhat considered herself an unofficial mber of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Now she was already starting to feel embarrassed on behalf of the Azure Cloud Sect.
"I heard that at first, Senior Jincha thought it was inappropriate, but the Azure Cloud side insisted strongly, and in the end, Jincha couldn't refuse, so they specially renovated the building and plaque for them."
Silver Lotus said with a hint of schadenfreude, "Anyway, it's the Azure Cloud Sect losing face, it has nothing to do with our Beihai Disaster Control Bureau."
Although when facing the Witch Association, Silver Lotus still leaned more towards the Azure Cloud Sect.
But now they were at the Disaster Control Bureau Central Bureau, so naturally she was happy to watch the Azure Cloud Sect make fools of themselves.
Who told Dandelion to bully her every day....
"No gloating allowed." Keke bumped her shoulder from the side. "The Azure Cloud Sect is still the face of our Beihai, after all."
"Okay, okay, anyway, your teacher is the best in the world, this good friend of yours doesn't matter..."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll twist your ear off!"
The two girls laughed and playfully fought as they walked towards the hall of the central teaching building.
This trip to the Central Bureau wasn't for anything else; it was for the ntal Landscape.
Keke originally had three slots, with one belonging to Panda Girl, but she couldn't contact Panda, and the Disaster Control Bureau in South China also said they couldn't find her, so they had to give up.
This ti, the only participants from the Beihai Disaster Control Bureau for the ntal Landscape trial were Keke and Silver Lotus.
However, other Magical Girls had actually co to join the excitent too.
Except for Peony, who slipped away again to go on vacation, both An Shiyu and Susan had co.
The two girls were currently in the hall of the teaching building attending a lecture.
Even though this ntal Landscape trial had nothing to do with them.
But learning about ntal Landscape-related knowledge in advance couldn't hurt.
After entering the hall, Senior Hongmian personally guided them, leading them to a large lecture hall.
The lecture hall was very spacious, with almost no one there.
Only An Shiyu and Susan, along with a few Azure Cloud Sect disciples, were sitting together.
As it turned out, the group was chatting quite animatedly.
Only when Silver Lotus and Keke arrived did Susan cough once, moving slightly away from the Azure Cloud Sect disciples.
An Shiyu also glanced back, then stood up to welco the two.
"Keke, Silver Lotus, you're here. Sit over here, everyone from the Azure Cloud Sect is here too...."
"No way."
Silver Lotus imdiately pulled Keke to sit on the other side.
The Magical Girls from the Azure Cloud Sect were, of course, no strangers.
Qinghua, Four Leaf, Six Leaf, and even Silver Lotus's most hated, Dandelion.
"During this ti, the Azure Cloud Sect Magical Girls have taught everyone a lot of knowledge about getting stronger."
Susan still said with a stern face, "Now they're an officially cooperating organization, so it's better for your attitude to be a bit friendlier."
Silver Lotus imdiately pouted: "Hmph, I haven't forgotten who was the one constantly badmouthing the Azure Cloud Sect at the Bureau before."
"The past is the past, the present is the present."
Qinghua was busy playing gas, while Four Leaf and Six Leaf were looking over here with sowhat strange gazes.
But Silver Lotus didn't really care much; she just stole another glance at Dandelion.
Dandelion, whose strength was remarkable even within the Azure Cloud Sect, was currently staring blankly out the window.
She looked just like an ordinary student who knew nothing.
Originally thinking they'd have a quarrel once they t.
But the other party didn't seem to notice them at all, which made Silver Lotus feel a bit frustrated.
Although she really disliked her.
To be honest, for Silver Lotus, after being rivals for so long, she had already developed a different kind of feeling towards Dandelion in her heart.
Enemy and friend... not exactly, but almost like enemy and teacher.
Many of Silver Lotus's later techniques, including much of the power she mastered when she regained her Magical Girl strength, were learned from Dandelion.
Every ti she got beaten, she gained new insights.
Now, after stepping into Blooming, most ordinary Blooming Magical Girls in the Central Bureau were no match for her, all thanks to Dandelion's pressure training.
On one hand, she sowhat hated that she had never beaten her even once.
On the other hand, she really wanted Dandelion to notice her and acknowledge her progress...
It would be even better if she could surpass her.
So even though she deliberately pulled Keke to sit elsewhere, she still couldn't help stealing glances at Dandelion.
Sotis she would deliberately make so noise, hoping Dandelion would notice.
But Dandelion just kept spacing out.
Just as Silver Lotus was starting to sulk on her own, Four Leaf and Six Leaf were looking at Keke with curious eyes.
Six Leaf even leaned over her seat, waving happily at Keke with a smile, "Hello, Sister Keke!"
Keke felt a little embarrassed.
After all, Silver Lotus still looked quite unhappy, and she felt that being too intimate with the Azure Cloud Sect mbers might hurt her friend's feelings.
But now that soone was greeting her, it wouldn't be good to ignore them.
And the other party was greeting her so cutely.
What if she felt sad if she didn't respond?
Thinking this, Keke still raised her hand slightly and waved, "Hello there."
Six Leaf then happily said to Four Leaf beside her, "Sister, sister, Sister Keke greeted !"
"Don't cause trouble for others, Six Leaf."
"Okay."
After saying that, the little girl sat back down properly in her seat without turning her head.
Four Leaf also gave Keke a small wave, her gaze carrying both apology and curiosity.
Keke responded with a smile.
In her heart, she felt so emotion; Teacher Shion had many powerful Magical Girls under her.
She knew about Four Leaf and Six Leaf; Peony talked about them every day at the Bureau, about how annoying they were, yet how talented.
In terms of detection and divination alone, almost no Magical Girl could compare to them.
In Keke's mind, these two sisters had always been mysterious and scary. After all, Senior Peony was really good at creating atmosphere.
Now, taking a look, they were two super cute girls...
How did Senior Peony describe them as so terrifying?
Things like devils and ghosts who could subtly alter others' perceptions, even make people forget who they were...
Couldn't see it at all.
Four Leaf tugged at Qinghua beside her. Qinghua, who was playing gas, also looked back at Keke, then waved with a beaming smile.
"Rember to close the door at ho."
Although Keke didn't understand, she still nodded and responded politely.
Then that Dandelion seed to finally react, pulling her hood before turning to look at the two.
Silver Lotus was actually a bit nervous.
When Dandelion turned her head to look, Silver Lotus instinctively tensed up.
Then, feeling a bit like a fan hoping for their idol's attention, Silver Lotus felt a little embarrassed.
So she put on a fierce expression and glared at Dandelion.
Wanting to prove her courage and her determination to definitely surpass her.
But Dandelion just glanced at her, didn't even linger, and shifted her gaze to Keke.
Then, sowhat reserved, as if shy, she revealed a very cute smile.
Since her Magical Outfit sleeves were long, most of her palms were tucked inside, only a few fingers showing as she waved at Keke.
Silver Lotus watched as Keke also shyly waved back—almost all the Azure Cloud Sect disciples focused on Keke first and greeted her.
In the end, even her most familiar rival, Dandelion, was like this too, which montarily made Silver Lotus's heart sour.
She imdiately hugged Keke, her face woeful, "They only greet you, Keke. I'm being ignored. The Azure Cloud Sect is bullying ."
"There, there, don't cry."
Patting her friend's head, Keke also felt amused and helpless. "If you take the initiative to greet them, they'd definitely be willing to talk to you."
"No, I've been defeated by her so many tis. If I still take the initiative to talk, my dignity won't allow it!"
"You care about Dandelion a lot, right?" Keke whispered. "Dandelion taught a lot about Magical Girl knowledge too..."
Silver Lotus's internal alarm bells imdiately started ringing.
But for a mont, she didn't know what to say.
Dandelion is my teacher, don't steal her?
That would be both embarrassing and nonsensical.
"Didn't Yiyi also say she learned a lot from Dandelion? Go take the initiative to say hello. If you want to build a good relationship, you have to be proactive."
Silver Lotus grunted and snorted in Keke's arms like a little pig for a long ti, but finally stood up, mustered her courage, and walked over to Dandelion.
Keke watched from afar as Silver Lotus, though pretending to look calm, had her hands nervously twisted together behind her back.
Keke secretly chuckled twice.
Let's all beco friends together.
This had always been Keke's wish. The Azure Cloud Sect and the Disaster Control Bureau were never opposing organizations. With just one opportunity, everyone could definitely beco friends.
Although initially, it was just so she and Teacher Shion could beco open, proper friends...
Over there, Dandelion, though pulling her hood, seed not very good at dealing with Silver Lotus.
But in the end, she responded to Silver Lotus. After the two chatted for a while,
Silver Lotus happily ran back.
"Hah, she couldn't argue with . Keke, I finally beat her once!"
"Okay, okay..."
Just as she was happy for her friend, Hongmian suddenly walked in. "Your ntal Landscape trial teacher is here."
The few people who were whispering imdiately quieted down.
Hongmian glanced at the Azure Cloud Sect side. "Your Sect Master, Miss Shion, should also be participating in the trial, right? Isn't she coming?"
"Don't worry." Six Leaf said.
"The Sect Master doesn't need to learn." Four Leaf continued.
Hongmian rolled her eyes, but having experienced many of the Azure Cloud Sect's peculiarities, she naturally didn't say much.
Co or don't, whatever.
"Although she's a noisy one, she's quite authoritative regarding ntal Landscapes. Everyone must listen carefully. The opportunity for a ntal Landscape trial is very rare."
After giving this instruction, her gaze only rested on Silver Lotus and Keke.
After all, for Hongmian, compared to the unfamiliar Azure Cloud Sect, "family" like Silver Lotus and Keke were more important.
Only after the two nodded did she leave with satisfaction.
Not long after, the door was gently pushed open by a breeze.
Everyone imdiately held their breath and quieted down.
.....
"That girl is an idiot, but precisely because she's an idiot, the ntal Landscape trial didn't pose too much difficulty for her."
At the top floor of the Azure Cloud Sect Mother-Child Building Cave Dwelling, Qingluán watched from afar the figure circling between the teaching building, the administration building, the library, and other structures. Seeing her long-unconscious friend so full of energy
made her feel sowhat dazed for a mont.
"This is called a pure heart."
Beside her was Jiang Si, who offered this evaluation.
Qingying imdiately chuckled, "Pfft, if she knew the Sect Master Celestial Being praised her like that, her nose would definitely be pointing to the sky again, so it's best not to say it in front of her."
After Jiang Si nodded, Qingying continued:
"I'm different. Because I was always thinking about my mom back then, I failed the ntal Landscape trial every ti. The ntal Landscape trial is very similar to Senior Mujin's ntal Landscape. Maybe Senior Mujin also got inspiration from the ntal Landscape trial, but they're fundantally different..."
"Mhm."
"The result is, I fell behind a step."
Qingluán's gaze was fixed on her best friend. The other girl circled back to the starting point again, stood dazed for a mont, then actually stupidly pulled out her Magic Wand, stood it upright on the ground,
waited for the wand to fall, glanced at the direction it pointed, nodded,
kowtowed to the wand with a *thump thump*, then imdiately set off again in the direction the wand fell.
Then she circled around once more.
This idiot.
Qingluán rubbed her temples and pulled out a card: "On the path of being a Magical Girl, I fell behind step by step. Although I managed to catch up through studying and effort, in the blink of an eye, she was ahead of again."
She inserted it into her Magic Wand: "Now, she even has a portion of Full Bloom power..."
"【Stellar Mark Descends: Self-Performing Movent】"
As the chanical female voice from the wand finished, a soothing violin lody from BWV147 began playing from the erging ball of light.
"However, since joining the Azure Cloud Sect."
Then the light ball transford into fine light particles, drifting towards the distant teaching building.
Under Qingluán's precise mana control, that idiot didn't notice the magic's presence but was attracted by the violin music. After looking around, she finally determined the teaching building's location.
Then she excitedly charged towards the teaching building.
"I've also managed to catch up to her a little, haven't I?"
"Could it be Senior Jincha coming?"
"Little Senior Callia is also possible."
"The idol group from Shining Cinderella wouldn't be bad either."
"It wouldn't be Miss Kingfisher, who already graduated, would it?"
In the classroom, Keke and the others stared eagerly at the door, anticipating the appearance of the ntal Landscape teaching instructor. However, no one appeared at the door for a long ti, so gradually, whispers of discussion started again.
Discussing who the teaching instructor this ti might be.
Suddenly, soone desperately knocked on the window.
Everyone turned to look and saw a girl with a rope tied around her neck, dangling and swinging outside the window, almost rolling her eyes back as she frantically knocked.
"O... open the window!"
"...."
After a good while, everyone finally pulled her in from outside the window.
Silver Lotus was speechless. "Why is it you?"
Coughing for a long ti, the girl rubbing her neck suddenly jumped up, then placed her hands on her hips, letting out a confident and cheerful laugh.
"Wahaha, that's right! Your ntal Landscape teaching instructor is !"
"The one and only under heaven, the strongest Disaster Control Bureau Magical Girl in history, Lady Iris!"
Only Keke went over and touched her neck. "Are you okay? I heard you've been seriously injured and unconscious since going to the Heart Image Remnant."
"That was Lady Iris paying a small price to break through to the Full Bloom realm."
Iris said proudly, "Right now, I am truly the strongest! I stepped into Full Bloom and didn't die, and I possess a portion of Full Bloom power!"
Keke imdiately started clapping for her. Silver Lotus hesitated for a mont, then also clapped.
Susan sneered, "So, oh strongest one, why were you hanging yourself outside?"
"Not hanging, I just couldn't find the way." Iris said matter-of-factly. "I walked to the upper floor, so I simply jumped down. Originally planned to co in directly through the window, didn't expect to get tangled in the rope... but no big deal, Lady Iris still successfully arrived on scene!"
After having everyone sit down, Iris didn't feel nervous at all and directly walked up to the podium.
"In terms of understanding the ntal Landscape trial, probably no one in the entire Disaster Control Bureau is stronger than . That's why I was assigned to be your teacher. So, everyone, please listen carefully. I'll only explain it once."
"How to pass the ntal Landscape trial!"
.....
Qingying watched from afar as her friend explained the ntal Landscape trial process to everyone and couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
Although the doctor had said before that Iris was basically fine now.
For Qingying, seeing it with her own eyes was still better.
Otherwise, she always felt sowhat uneasy.
Jiang Si wasn't actually interested in the so-called ntal Landscape trial.
Just going through the motions.
What he wanted now was sothing else.
"So, have you made up your mind?"
He asked lightly.
When Qingying's smile gradually faded, replaced by lancholy and sorrow,
he continued, "Bring Iris's Miracle Seed over."
