I'm a magical girl in the future

Chapter 28 Tonight is Noah's!

After lunch, the magical girls all left.

Qin Xiaoling and Ye Han seemed to want to play a little longer, so they left together.

With his sister not present, the identity of "Lingbo" was no longer necessary—he quickly transformed back into Shen Zixin, and then returned home with Noah and He Yuran.

The afternoon, mostly spent doing nothing, slipped by quietly in a strange atmosphere that was a mixture of silence and undercurrents.

After a simple dinner, it was time for He Yuran to leave.

"Tonight, it's my turn, isn't it?" Noah looked at He Yuran with a smile. "We can take turns. You see, one night each, taking turns sleeping with Zixin, isn't that fair?"

"snort."

He Yuran didn't argue, seemingly acquiescing to the plan. She simply opened the door somewhat defiantly and left quickly.

"You guys..." Shen Zixin rubbed her forehead, a feeling of absurdity and helplessness welling up inside her. "How exactly... did you achieve this tacit understanding?"

Although the two hadn't discussed it, it seems they've already made the outrageous decision of "each of them sleeping with him one night a day."

"Hmm? Isn't it great? This kind of scene is what so many guys dream of!"

"..."

Faced with this teasing, Shen Zixin found herself speechless.

Longed for? Perhaps.

But faced with this "long-awaited" dream filled with tension, he only felt a headache.

Then, evening came. Noah and Shen Zixin both returned to their bedroom.

At this moment, Noah had already put on her pajamas, lay on the bed, and kept swiping her phone, seemingly doing something.

"By the way, what have you been busy with?" Shen Zixin asked curiously, sitting on the other side of the bed.

"I'm compiling some spells for beginners." Noah's fingers were still swiping on her phone. "Didn't I say this morning that I would send a document on basic spells to the group? I'm compiling it now."

"Hmm? Did you write this teaching material yourself?"

"I don't have that level of skill. I'm just organizing some spell data I already have."

Then, Noah rolled over, changing from lying on her stomach to lying down, and stretched.

"--OK, all done."

Almost simultaneously, Shen Zixin's phone also sent a message notification.

Noah uploaded the group file "Basic Spells Data.pdf"

Shen Zixin glanced at it briefly but didn't click on it immediately. At this moment, he wasn't in the mood to study magic; he was thinking about another question he wanted to ask.

"Noah," Shen Zixin looked at her, "where did your money come from? It couldn't possibly be money you brought from the future, could it?"

"Why do you have to ask about such a small thing?" Noah was still lying on the bed, but she turned her head towards Shen Zixin.

"The monsters we destroyed that night, didn't I have the Other Shore collect the 'Magic Essence'? I sold that thing and got some money from it."

"Huh...?" Shen Zixin was stunned. He never expected it to be done this way.

Converting loot from defeated monsters into money—it's a feature just like in the game.

"Is there a problem? That stuff is quite valuable to begin with, so there's no worry about finding a market for it. That's why I took some time yesterday afternoon to sell the Magic Essence."

"No, it's nothing... it's just a little unexpected," Shen Zixin said. "So it seems being a magical girl is quite lucrative..."

He recalled the days when he was busy working for an internship certificate and a meager part-time salary, and began to consider the possibility of making money as a magical girl.

"It's quite profitable, but the more you earn, the more you spend," Noah said with a wry smile. "You'll understand when you need to buy artificial costumes... those things are really expensive."

Oh... are artificial Mystic Codes really that expensive...?

So, should I learn more about the fighting styles of magical girls so that I can stand on my own in future operations?

Thinking of this, Shen Zixin opened the document that Noah had just uploaded on her phone and began to read its contents.

At first glance, spells do indeed resemble moves and skills in various games. Generally speaking, there are four categories of spells: offensive, defensive, supportive, and special.

As their names suggest, the specific effects of these four types can be discerned from their names alone.

Noah said in her morning lecture that the best way to fight is to focus on one's own "mental state".

Since one's mental image is time-stopping, what kind of techniques should be used to form one's own tactics?

But... isn't there a ready-made reference point right in front of us?

Shen Zixin looked at Noah and asked, "Noah, based on your advice, what kind of magic would you recommend I learn?"

"Um?"

Noah sat up. "If you want to refer to my fighting style, you don't need to learn a lot of magic."

"My fighting style is to stop time and then just slash with my sword. So I mostly choose auxiliary spells that enhance myself or create chaos."

"I also know a little bit of defensive and offensive spells, but these spells are more about restraint, used to buy time and wait for the cooldown of the next time stop."

Then Noah seemed to remember something and added:

"However, if you want to learn magic on your own, don't worry too much about ranged attacks. Because while time is stopped, attacks will be stuck in the air and unable to move forward. You can only fight in melee while time is stopped."

I see. Shen Zixin felt a little regretful.

He had originally envisioned a cool scene where he would throw countless throwing knives at the enemy during a time-stop. Now it seems that this idea can only remain a fantasy.

Shen Zixin lowered her head and continued to observe the spells.

If you want to build your own combat system, it's undoubtedly the easiest way to follow Noah's ideas. After all, Noah has been using this tactic for over a decade, and it's been proven time and again.

However, are there any other ideas that can be developed?

Following Noah's line of thought is certainly convenient, but it always feels like copying someone else's ideas.

Furthermore, he was also considering whether, since both he and Noah could stop time, their time-stopping periods were interconnected? Could they move around during each other's time-stopping periods?

If possible, then the tactical options will also be greatly increased.

However, I am not very familiar with the concept of "time stop" yet, so even if I want to have any ideas about it, I can only wait until my abilities are further developed.

As Shen Zixin was still pondering, a soft touch pressed against his back—

"It's so late, don't think about it too much, go to sleep~"
