The girl in the cyan dress, Iris, is quite popular.
After making this rebuttal in her heart, Jin Cha began to miss Iris and Cyan Simurgh.
Hopefully their tests go smoothly.
From a more distant place, voices from outside the coffee shop erged, making her unable to ignore them: [Huh? Didn’t they say the coffee shop was fully reserved? Why are there so many people on the first floor?]
[Oh, it really is reserved, let’s go.]
Reserved? Jin Cha furrowed her brows, yet those voices had already drifted away, buried under the increasingly chaotic sounds downstairs.
Just as Jin Cha was about to ponder what "reserved" ant, she suddenly noticed sothing in the voices downstairs that she couldn’t help but pay attention to—
[I’ve hunted twenty Disaster Beasts and five Witch Association mbers this month. I’m going into the Inner Sect, sister. This ti, I’ve won.]
[She probably doesn’t know I’ve already passed the Inner Sect test, the foolish sister, I’ve won again.]
[Can soone tell why I ss up the Inner Sect test every ti? Is the Disaster Strategy Bureau setting up? I’ve retaken the test thirty tis, paid 3000 bucks, and still can’t pass. Is this test harder than a driver’s license? If I don’t have luck, am I truly not fit for the Inner Sect?]
[Let’s review this morning’s ranking matches... What’s the point of reviewing? No one listens, everyone fights on their own. Why does this group only show team spirit in conceding? Are you really at the king level? Seriously, for coordination, you should look at our Cyan Cloud Sect...]
Inner Sect? Cyan Cloud Sect?
[But this mission is quite lucrative; you get free food and drink in a place like this along with rewards and bonuses.]
[It’s so good! The rewards from the Sect’s missions include a free monthly card. If you choose this option, this can beco our Magic Collection Card band’s exclusive eting place. I want to co here every day to watch videos, hehe.]
[Outer and Inner Sect mbers are all here. Actually, this is just an excuse for the Sect to hold a team-building event, right?]
Suddenly, she felt a chill.
Reserved?
Yes. Jin Cha finally realized.
This coffee shop has been reserved by the Cyan Cloud Sect, but besides her, who else could co in?
Cyan Cloud Sect, there are so many Magical Girls even just in Beihai? Have I walked into the lair of Cyan Cloud Sect’s Magical Girls? The noises downstairs were getting more chaotic, making it hard to discern exactly how many Magical Girls there were.
More troubling was the presence of many unknown languages in the voices downstairs, sounding unhuman, more terrifying than the Beihai Disaster Strategy Bureau!
Jin Cha told herself not to panic, but she didn’t notice that a thin layer of ice had ford over the steaming coffee in her hand.
Soon after, everything fell silent.
Not just speech, even the voices vanished from her ears in an instant.
Only the endless cold remained.
When she ca to her senses, a blue magical girl sat across from her, her posture elegant and composed, with a faint smile, examining her. "Hello, Miss Jin Cha."
The voice carried a peculiar chill, piercing through her ears into her head and chest.
Jin Cha stared at her blankly, then steadied her breathing.
New Seedling Magical Girl.
However, the sense of pressure was completely different.
The feeling of having her entire body enveloped in ice was as if she were entirely under her control.
Elegant, composed.
More importantly, the self-assurance that seed to command everything.
Mature and graceful aura, the goal she pursued.
Jin Cha smiled slightly, realizing her persona might overlap now, and frighteningly, she seed inferior to the other.
"Hello, Magical Girl Dong Jun?"
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
"It hasn’t been that long."
Jin Cha tilted her head, wanting to take a sip of coffee, but Dong Jun restrained her hand, "If you don’t like it, there’s no need to drink it like this."
Saying so, she called over a waiter, who quickly brought a cup of hot milk.
"Half a cup of sugar might relieve bitterness, but it won’t make coffee taste better. Combined with milk, the texture becos denser. Most importantly, you can taste the aroma of coffee without the bitterness."
Dong Jun personally added milk to her coffee, "Perhaps this suits you better, try it."
Jin Cha stirred the milk, took a sip. The cold coffee mixed with hot milk turned into warm milk coffee. After a sip, she sighed, nodding, "Indeed, it’s nice."
But how did the other figure out she actually doesn’t like coffee?
"Your movents and expressions reveal your preferences, including the noticeable twitch at the corner of your mouth when you pick up the coffee. If you don’t like it, just don’t drink it. If you must, choose a way that suits you."
Jin Cha was stunned, raising her head to look at the still smiling blue magical girl across from her, "Can you hear thoughts?"
"No, this is called Echo." Dong Jun didn’t hide it, openly explaining, "Ice is like a mirror, able to reflect light. Therefore, if properly developed, it can reflect others’ abilities. I call it Echo, it’s particularly useful in negotiations."
"Sorry, I can’t see the similarity between reflecting light and reflecting abilities, or how they’re linked. I can’t imagine how to use reflected light to develop reflected abilities..."
"Well, that’s the secret of Cyan Cloud Sect." Dong Jun gave a faint smile, "If you’re curious, you could join our Cyan Cloud Sect to see for yourself."
