She waited like this for a day, two days, even Xia Liang had secretly confird with her, yet Lin Xiaolu still showed no intention of asking about the topic.
Besides that, in these past few days, Lin Xiaolu was always following around Erald Sparrow, occasionally giving her dirty looks, making Bai Jingxuan wonder if she had any grievances against her.
Yet, she hadn't expected the situation to conclude in this manner.
However awkward the situation was, an explanation was still necessary, and eventually, Bai Jingxuan ended up revealing a portion of her own circumstances.
She confessed that she was a Sacrificial Child of Black Ash Dawn, the battle that had taken place at Lakeside Spring with Black Ash Dawn, and the fact that she possessed Residual Beast Magic, but under Erald Sparrow's guidance, she concealed her parents' identities.
Although significant information was thus hidden, it was enough to explain why Bai Jingxuan was in her current state.
The reason why Erald Sparrow wanted to hide the identity of Bai Jingxuan's parents was simply because she hoped her daughter and Xia Liang's perception of Bai Jingxuan would still be "human," and not so "thing" manufactured.
Firmly establishing the perception of Bai Jingxuan as a "human" was, in her view, the most important aspect of protecting Bai Jingxuan.
Erald Sparrow still hadn't forgotten that day, at that mont at Lakeside Spring, the girl standing amidst the mountain of corpses, calling out to her with an empty voice.
That was Bai Jingxuan, but without a doubt, not entirely the Bai Jingxuan of now.
Regarding that ti, Bai Jingxuan had mories, but what she rembered was quite distorted; it wasn't a bloody feast of cruel slaughter against Black Ash Dawn; instead, it was a classic tale of awakening power amidst adversity, defeating the villains, and ultimately saving everyone.
If possible, Erald Sparrow hoped that Bai Jingxuan would never have to turn into that state again. Therefore, this story, with her help in embellishing it, gradually converged with the distorted mories in Bai Jingxuan's mind.
——"Ah, so you're saying, you're also a Shifter, but the direction of your shift is towards the Remnant Beasts?"
Lin Xiaolu suddenly understood.
The story she had heard was just that.
Having mastered Magic Taint, Lin Xiaolu naturally understood the knowledge related to Shifters, and although she was sowhat surprised to find out that Bai Jingxuan was a Shifter, it wasn't that surprising.
After all, if she herself was a Shifter, why couldn't others be as well?
Instead, upon learning that Bai Jingxuan could also undergo Magic Shift, her first reaction wasn't about how special Bai Jingxuan and she were, but rather...
"When did you shift?"
She couldn't help but turn to Xia Liang and ask.
"...I guess I'm really not up to par with you all, Miss Shifter, if I'm not a Shifter myself," Xia Liang said, even with her good temper, she felt her eyelids twitch upon hearing such an annoying comnt. It took her a good while to suppress the urge to directly address Lin Xiaolu's face: "Such a rare occurrence, how could an ordinary Ye-level Magical Girl who won't reach Lei-level for several months possibly be involved?"
"Uh." Xia Liang's words caused Lin Xiaolu to involuntarily twitch the corner of her mouth, now it was her turn to feel sick.
The two of them just glared at each other with a sll of gunpowder in the air, until Erald Sparrow saw that things weren't going well and directly stepped into their line of sight, cutting off the space for their mutual gaze.
"Let's get back to the topic of Magic Armor."
She interrupted the off-topic class content with her words: "Co, Bo Xue, let tell you how your Magic Armor should continue to develop."
In the ti that had just passed, she had also figured out how to salvage Bai Jingxuan's Magic Armor, which had gone completely off track.
Without a doubt, the base of the Music Box had to be discarded.
She had no doubt that if they kept the base, Bai Jingxuan could very well pull out a hamr in front of everyone during the qualification assessnt.
But if they asked Bai Jingxuan to give up close combat and remove the base, it would not only be a blow to her confidence, but also a distortion of her combat style.
So, there was only one final solution left—to separate the Music Box and its base. The Music Box would continue to be used as an auxiliary tool during battle, while the base could take on so other form and differentiate into more functions.
As for whether the base would beco another hamr under Bai Jingxuan's rogue operations in the future, Erald Sparrow didn't need to worry about that.
Thus, she analyzed Bai Jingxuan's Magic Armor in great detail, from structure to Flow of Magical Power to Magic Power frequency, giving her a training plan to gradually separate the Music Box from the base. Erald Sparrow felt like she had talked until she was smoking from the mouth by the ti she finally finished instructing Bai Jingxuan.
Afterwards, the only student who hadn't been analyzed by Erald Sparrow was left.
Erald Sparrow turned to Lin Xiaolu, who was already standing tall and proud with her white scepter stretched out in her hand.
This was Lin Xiaolu's Magic Armor, newly awakened just a few days ago and not yet warm to the touch—King's Key.
