"You..."
Erald Sparrow glared, about to scold, but stopped midway as she emphasised her own identity internally, reminding herself not to show excessive emotions. The conflict between emotion and reason made her pause and take a deep breath.
After calming down slightly, she narrowed her eyes, pointed a finger towards the stairs behind Lin Xiaolu, "Be careful when you walk and watch your back. You almost fell just now, and in your current state, not transford, you are very vulnerable."
"Yes, I'm sorry."
Lin Xiaolu didn't argue but sincerely lowered her head in acknowledgnt, "I got a little too excited."
With her head bowed, all Erald Sparrow could see was her forehead covered by hair, making it impossible to have an emotional exchange. After a mont of tension, she could only reach out and tap Lin Xiaolu's forehead.
"I'm seriously talking about this, be more careful next ti."
Once again lightly moving past the topic, Erald Sparrow walked to the side, picked up the mobile phone that Lin Xiaolu had dropped, checked for any damage, and then turned it over to the front.
Then, she saw the photo Lin Xiaolu wanted to show her.
In the photo was Erald Sparrow, previously dressed in a cheongsam, with the background replaced by a dreamy, fairy-tale style, and other team mbers who were also originally in the background were cut out. These changes instantly altered the atmosphere of the scene, reducing the bustling mood significantly and even making it appear sowhat desolate, but it also highlighted the person in the photo even more.
"Why did you think to edit it this way?" Handing the phone back to Lin Xiaolu, Erald Sparrow asked.
"Just, suddenly rembered an ani I used to watch that seed to have a similar character."
Lin Xiaolu's previous excitent had diminished due to the close call, but talking about her favorite Magical Girl ani, she was without hesitation: "The character in the ani was a Magical Girl styled after Donghua State, very cool and stylish, a senior figure worth relying on, so popular they even made a spin-off about her. Your new outfit felt a lot like hers, so I wanted to try and see what it would look like with the ani's background..."
"An ani character?"
Lin Xiaolu's explanation led Erald Sparrow to a sowhat strange speculation, and she unconsciously asked further, "Do you rember what that ani character was called?"
"Yes, it was a Magical Girl nad Long Dan, why?"
"...Gemstone Scepter."
"What?"
"Nothing, just a thought, reminded of so things."
Marking a ntal note about Erald, Erald Sparrow walked upstairs expressionless, "Alright, we've delayed enough, we should continue with the lesson."
"Oh, okay."
Lin Xiaolu didn't suspect anything, pocketed her phone, and followed up the stairs, holding the handrail: "What are we learning today? Are we continuing with the Flipping Rope training?"
"That will co a bit later, today we need to first check the progress of your Magic Armor's growth," said Erald Sparrow evenly.
"Didn't we check that last week?"
"During phases of rapid growth, frequent checks and adjustnts are needed, otherwise by the ti we notice a problem in direction, it will be too late."
"Oh, but there hasn't really been any change in my Magic Armor this week."
"Hasn't there?"
Erald Sparrow looked at Lin Xiaolu sowhat surprised, "I've intentionally increased the usage intensity, yet there's been no change."
"Yes."
Lin Xiaolu nodded, then as if thinking of sothing, added, "I haven't been slacking! I've been working really hard to increase usage, and I've been practicing as you advised, it's not what I want!"
"I believe you, in fact, I can see you have."
Erald Sparrow took it for granted, apparently never considering the possibility of Lin Xiaolu slacking, and spoke more seriously, "This might not be your fault, it could be that there's sothing wrong with the training regin I've set."
"How could that be? It can't be your fault, Erald Sparrow."
Lin Xiaolu instinctively argued, "I don't think there's anything wrong with this training, besides Xia Liang and Bai Jingxuan are training the sa way."
"Because your Magic Armor is very special."
Erald Sparrow stated bluntly, "Shape-shifting Magic Armor is extrely rare in the entire nation's history, with almost no docunted cases, and the experiences applicable to most Magical Girls might not be suitable for you."
"Not suitable?" Lin Xiaolu pointed at herself, bewildered.
Walking down the stairs, Erald Sparrow entered the dark training room and precisely pressed the wall's lighting switch.
"Yes, since there are no references, I can only make guesses, and based on my original thoughts, because it is shape-shifting, every specific form should be capable of further growth. That's why I proposed the previous training plan."
As the lights suddenly brightened, casting shadows beside Erald Sparrow, she turned her head, her face thoughtful, "I think we need to verify it again; if your Magic Armor truly hasn't grown at all, then according to my experience, there are only two possibilities remaining."
"Which two?" Following Erald Sparrow into the training room, Lin Xiaolu took off her down jacket, hung it on a nearby rack, and asked curiously.
