Chapter 32 Place of Cultivation
"It's rare to see Ah Xin here."
He Yuran opened the door and let Shen Zixin in.
On the way here, Shen Zixin had already sent a text message to He Yuran, asking if she could come to her house to practice magic today.
Of course!
A perfectly reasonable reply.
So, Shen Zixin went to He Yuran's house.
It's usually He Yuran who visits Shen Zixin's home; it's quite rare for Shen Zixin to come here herself.
"Sorry to bother you so suddenly," Shen Zixin said somewhat apologetically.
"It's alright," He Yuran smiled and closed the door. "Ah Xin, you're always welcome to come. In fact, I'm very happy that you took the initiative to come to me. But why did Ah Xin specifically come here to learn magic?"
"If I stay at home, I'm worried that Xiaoling will find out. After all, practicing will generate magical fluctuations. If she notices and finds 'Lingbo' in my brother's room, I really won't be able to explain myself."
"Hmm..." He Yuran tilted her head. "Then tell your sister that you're a magical girl too. It's not a big deal."
"I've said it so many times, I don't want to leave behind material for Xiaoling to tease me about."
In reality, Shen Zixin had no reason to hide this from his younger sister. He simply didn't want to be ridiculed by her for turning into a little girl.
Even if it were just a simple gender swap, he could accept telling his sister about it. But becoming a 10-year-old child was something he couldn't accept.
Shen Zixin sighed, preparing to transform, "--Well then, I'm going to begin."
Close your eyes and concentrate. After a flash of light, Shen Zixin transformed into Lingbo, who was wearing a Lolita dress.
"Hehehe..."
Upon seeing Lingbo, He Yuran let out a laugh tinged with danger. Then, without hesitation, she pounced on Lingbo and pulled her into her arms—
"No matter how you look at it, Rei is so cute!"
"...Let me go, I'm going to start my training." Although Lingbo didn't physically resist, her voice carried a hint of indifference.
"Let me hold you for a while~" He Yuran hugged Lingbo and sat on the bed. "Lingbo can think about what kind of magic to learn first, and then leave after you've thought it through."
Lingbo was somewhat speechless, but in the end she didn't dwell on it.
She sat on He Yuran's lap, essentially lying in his arms like a giant doll, with the back of her head resting between his two large, soft breasts.
It was actually quite comfortable...
Lingbo ignored her childhood friend, who had turned into a "pervert" behind her, and instead took out her phone and found the information that Noah had uploaded to the group last night.
Her fingers slid across the screen, her gaze sweeping over the names and descriptions of each spell.
So, what kind of magic should one learn?
My future mental perception ability is time-stopping.
Noah said that ranged attacks are ineffective during time stop. Therefore, her tactics must revolve around melee combat and support.
Ultimately, this is still Noah's tactic. Will she be able to pull off any unexpected moves?
This seems difficult because you can't use ranged attacks; you can only use melee combat.
But if I can get right up to the other side, the best way is to just slash them with a single blow. Why bother with all those fancy tricks?
So, you can apply buffs during time stop, right? And since the buff application process won't be interrupted during time stop, can I learn some buff skills and then apply buffs to my teammates?
The moment the idea popped into her head, Lingbo was speechless... She had such a powerful ability as time stop, yet she was thinking of using it as a support...
As Lingbo continued browsing through the spells in the document, an offensive spell caught her attention.
— "Super Powerful Magic Penetrating Cannon"
The name alone exudes a strong sense of adolescent angst...
However, this is not a very practical spell. The description is simple and brutal—it requires at least 5 seconds of charging to unleash a destructive energy beam capable of piercing through anything.
The drawbacks are also obvious... It requires at least 5 seconds to charge up, and you can't use other defensive methods during the charging process. If you are attacked, you can only take the hit.
Moreover, the firing direction of this light cannon must be determined when the charging begins, and it cannot be changed after the charging is complete; it can only fire in the direction predetermined 5 seconds ago...
This is ridiculous. It means that the target has to stand still for 5 seconds for the light cannon to have a chance of hitting the person...
Even a calamity beast couldn't be that stupid...
But if we combine it with time stop, wouldn't that solve the problem? Although the light cannon can't be fired during time stop, it can still be charged, right? Then, as soon as time stop ends, it can be fired instantly, which means the light cannon can be fired instantly!
However, I haven't awakened the mind-body concept of time-stopping yet, so it seems a bit premature to learn this technique now.
Besides, learning this kind of magic in He Yuran's house... that's too dangerous. They might actually blow up the apartment, which would be a real problem...
Let's consider this spell later...
Lingbo turned her attention back to those spells that seemed "safer" and "basic"—first, to see if there were any auxiliary spells she could learn.
Before long, Lingbo found a spell that seemed quite practical:
— "Wide Area Perception Technique".
One of the basic support spells, it can effectively sense the enemy's presence and location from a distance.
Being able to detect the enemy's presence in advance is a huge advantage, no matter what.
If that "piercing cannon" is really to be used, then being able to accurately locate the target is also very important.
Moreover, this technique is quite versatile. Even before one awakens their inner vision, this move should still be of some use!
That's it.

Super Powerful Magic Penetrating Cannon
Category: Spells (Offensive)
Level: B
description:
A long-range light cannon attack that requires a long charging time. In terms of destructive power alone, it is comparable to a large-scale light cannon spell of A++ grade.
However, the 5-second charging time makes this spell rather useless, and it cannot coexist with other defensive spells. This makes the caster extremely vulnerable to attacks while charging.
Furthermore, the direction of launch must be specified at the start of the charge-up process, and the direction cannot be adjusted until the charge-up is complete.
This characteristic makes it almost impossible for anyone to be hit unless it is dealing with static targets that cannot move (such as buildings, but magical girls rarely encounter situations where they need to attack).
At the same time, special care must be taken when using this spell in cities. A magical girl squad once successfully used this spell to strike the monster by coordinating the control skills of multiple members. However, due to its immense power, it affected nearby buildings, resulting in greater destruction and damage than the monster itself.
Many magical girls consider this spell to be flashy but impractical, and it is usually regarded as a useless technique that is more theoretical than practical.

Wide Area Perception
Category: Spells (Supportive)
Level: E
description:
Basic auxiliary spells are common methods used by magical girls for long-range target acquisition and environmental awareness.
The spellcaster can detect magical fluctuations, life forms' reactions, and general terrain within a certain range, a kind of "radar"-like perception of the surrounding situation.
This can be considered an indispensable spell for ranged combat magical girls.
However, wide-area perception is a technique that is "easy to learn but difficult to master." If it is not mastered properly, the accuracy of perception of targets that are too far away will drop significantly.
The degree to which a magical girl has mastered this knowledge determines her ability to acquire battlefield information.
