16-year-old Hong Siyu still didn't want to believe in miracles.
She had always believed in her mother's teachings, adhering to the principles of "no such thing as a free lunch" and "he who does not work, neither shall he eat," firmly maintaining that all gains are the result of hard work and effort.
Even when she encountered a Remnant Beast attack in ninth grade and t a Magical Girl, she always felt it was just a fluke, that her future life wouldn't cross paths with such extraordinary things again, and that she would continue with her ordinary life.
And for this reason, after diligent study, she was admitted to Fangting City's best high school with extrely outstanding grades.
Everything seed to be back on track, and following this path, she was bound to continue as an honors student. She would get into a better institution of higher education, receive a better education and diploma there, and then find a well-paying job, eventually becoming a mature mber of society.
Most kids her age always hoped their futures would be extraordinary, hoping to beco special and not just an ordinary part of the masses. But Hong Siyu didn't think that way; a definite life plan gave her a sense of security.
However, she never imagined that at this turning point, fate would play a joke on her. Even though she didn't believe, sothing that amounted to a "miracle" for her still happened.
She beca a Magical Girl.
In her first year of high school, during another Remnant Beast attack, she was chosen by a mysteriously odd Fairy rabbit and beca a Magical Girl.
Was this "luck" or "misfortune?" Hong Siyu couldn't figure it out.
To speak of luck, it wasn't entirely so. She had never entertained the thought of being a Magical Girl; such scenes and identities, with the associated responsibilities, weren't what she wanted.
But to speak of misfortune, that wasn't quite right either. Because after becoming a Magical Girl, she t other Magical Girls in the city and suddenly had many friends.
All she knew was that her ordinary life plan had beco empty talk the mont she beca a Magical Girl, because a Magical Girl is destined to be extraordinary.
And the thinking about whether all of this was luck or misfortune was ended on a particular afternoon.
"Speaking of which, Erald Sparrow, haven't you shown our junior your true form yet?"
It was an ordinary evening, after school, when the Magical Girl quintet of Fangting City gathered. One of them, who went by the codena Margaret, suddenly spoke:
"We've all shared our true selves with her, isn't it ti you show so sincerity too?"
"Uh..."
The blue-haired girl who had been silently drinking her beverage twitched her shoulders, then looked up, her face annoyed as she glared at Margaret: "What kind of trouble are you trying to stir up?"
"How can you call it 'stirring trouble?' This is my genuine wish."
Margaret rested her chin in her hand, her face teasingly smiling: "I've been looking forward to this scene for a long ti. Since it's so boring today, let's treat it as a little extra entertainnt, shall we?"
"Who takes their teammate's embarrassing situation as entertainnt just because they are 'bored'?"
Erald Sparrow shot her a look: "Rejection, I don't want to."
"You're really harsh with your words."
Margaret wasn't happy with her words, but she smiled nonchalantly and shrugged her shoulders: "I don't have such wicked intentions, sister, relax a little."
Their conversation did not continue, but it caught the attention of Hong Siyu sitting to the side. She noticed the undertone in their exchange.
Should she ask?
She weighed her decision internally and ultimately didn't make up her mind, so she stayed quiet.
However, her silence didn't an the others didn't have their thoughts.
——"What? What are you talking about?"
A gentle voice tinged with playfulness ca from aside. A long-haired girl suddenly erged, leaning on Erald Sparrow's shoulder: "Letting Ah Yun show Xiao Hong her real form?"
"Didn't you hear?"
Erald Sparrow glanced at her: "Also, don't call us by our real nas or nicknas. Use our Magical Girl codenas."
"What does it matter? There's no one else here anyway."
The girl propped herself on Erald Sparrow's shoulder and leaned in closer: "So, will you transform or not? I want to see too! Just do it today!"
"No transformation."
"Co on, transform."
"No transformation!"
"Please, transform!"
"I said no transformation, an it's no transformation!"
Erald Sparrow pushed the girl's chin with her hand, pushing her to the side: "And keep your distance, you're too close!"
"Humph, I want to see!"
The girl clung to Erald Sparrow's arm like a sloth, refusing to let go: "It's been so long since I've seen you transform in front of , Ah Yun!"
"It's exactly because you treat it like a circus act every ti that I don't want to," Erald Sparrow said through clenched teeth.
——"You guys, you should consider the feelings of the person in question for such matters, right?"
The last to speak was a girl who had been sitting at the edge, holding a book. She stopped Erald Sparrow and the other girl's bickering, raised her head, and spoke to Hong Siyu: "What do you think, newbie? Do you think it's necessary to confirm each other's true identities?"
This question seed to remind the others present. Whether it was the two girls who were pulling and tugging at each other, or Margaret who had already given up on the matter, all turned their attention to Hong Siyu.
