Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 666 - 224: Bai Jingxuan’s Examination

As Bai Jingxuan walked nervously into the examination room, what she saw was a space almost entirely adorned in white.

The floor, walls, and ceiling were all pristine white, even the lighting was without any hint of color. The room was filled with numerous large pieces of equipment whose purpose was unclear and were in standby mode. Their casings were white, emitting a faint hum in the quiet environment.

In the center of the room stood two women dressed in white coats. Their gaze did not fall on Bai Jingxuan upon her entrance. The two women were looking down, frequently tapping on the light screen before them as if recording something.

Bang.

The examination room door closed behind Bai Jingxuan, producing just the right amount of noise to cause these two women, seemingly examiners, to raise their heads.

"Candidate number 20000103922, Bo Xue, correct?" one of them asked.

"...Yes." Bai Jingxuan replied standing at attention.

"Alright then, we will now begin the inspection and evaluation of your Magic Armor. The first item is the ability specifications assessment. Please go to the instrument on the far left of the examination room for input."

The examiner who spoke first pointed to the side of the room: "The operation is simple. Extract your Magic Armor, then stand still for one minute and let the machine scan."

"Oh, okay."

Bai Jingxuan responded simply and obediently walked in the direction indicated by the examiner.

She didn't plan to ask any questions. In fact, she wished the examiner wouldn't pay too much attention to her. Knowing herself better than anyone, she feared this assessment might be the moment when her Residual Beast Magic would most easily be exposed.

Since starting from Fangting City until the official start of the assessment, Emerald Sparrow had repeatedly emphasized to her to keep herself hidden. During the previous labyrinth assessment, there were many onlookers, and there were probably many eyes watching from the shadows during this assessment too. If she exposed anything she shouldn't at this moment, it would be difficult for the Emerald to save her.

Bai Jingxuan was very obedient and she wanted to become a powerful Magical Girl, so she didn't want to reveal any issues. But the more she was worried, the more nervous she became.

Indeed, to conceal her magic power background, she had undergone ample study and training. Not only did she learn the Dirtification Technique from Margaret while in Fangting City, but she also continued self-training after arriving in the Kingdom. In theory, she shouldn't have any exposure risk now. But nervousness is often irrational, and as she navigated through the equipment, she accidentally kicked the sharp corner of one machine, nearly falling.

This drew the examiners' attention to her location.

Fortunately, they didn't pay much heed. Among the exam candidates, there were many who appeared more nervous than Bai Jingxuan. It's the ones who aren't nervous that are rare. Soon, they returned their focus to the data work at hand.

Bai Jingxuan bitterly walked to the corner of the room and carefully uttered "Heavenly Sound," extracting her Magic Armor.

Upon Emerald Sparrow's advice, Bai Jingxuan hadn't wielded her Magic Armor as a melee weapon in these two months but instead mostly relied on magic power to support it. Meanwhile, she began using the abilities of Heavenly Sound more in her battles, which, although challenging, indeed started steering the form of her Magic Armor in a positive direction.

Compared to two months ago, the shape of her Heavenly Sound Magic Armor had changed significantly. Most noticeably, the original support structure that was about to become a hammer handle had shortened substantially. At this moment, it had returned to its original Music Box form rather than being a music-playing hammer. Ability specifications, range of effect, application domains, development potential, stability

The scanning process with the instrument went smoothly, and after a minute, a green indicator light on the instrument before Bai Jingxuan turned on, signaling that the data input was complete. Accompanying this change, the examiner's voice sounded from not too far away:

"The magic power activity is very strong, the aspect manifestation degree is relatively low, but from the magical power fluctuation field, your Magic Armor's ability specifications aren't bad, at least Level 3."

While reviewing the data on the glowing screen in her hand, the examiner asked, "You're at the Leaf Level now?"

"Yes." Even though she knew she was through one hurdle, Bai Jingxuan still appeared quite reserved.

"Having a Level 3 fluctuation field at Leaf Level, with such a low manifestation degree... amazing, it's completely unlike data found on single Magic Armor. Generally speaking, such values would only appear on group state Magic Armor."

The examiner continued paging through the data, her originally indifferent face revealing a hint of astonishment: "No direct magic power body interference phenomenon, but there's negotiation and indirect effect. Does your Magic Armor's ability involve adding states to yourself or others?"

"Yes."

"Interesting, very interesting..." Judging by her demeanor, after hearing Bai Jingxuan's answer, this examiner seemed to truly become enlivened.

"Excuse me, could you explain the meaning of those terms you mentioned?" Seeing the other party seemingly unaware of the issue with her, Bai Jingxuan plucked up some courage, and her curiosity naturally surfaced.

"Which terms?"

"Like magical power fluctuation fields, covalent bonds, snakes... " Bai Jingxuan whispered.

"Oh, those are professional terminology related to Magic Armor indicators, things you kids don't need to learn."

The talkative examiner blinked, at Bai Jingxuan's cautious and timid appearance, showing a relatively kind smile and refraining from correcting or mocking the apparent misinterpretations in this "kid's" reiteration of terminology:

"But I can explain to you the concept of magical power fluctuation fields. Generally, the concept of magical power fluctuation fields is the 'depth of impact on the world.' If you find this explanation hard to understand, you can directly understand this concept as 'strength of ability.'

"Strength of ability...?"

Bai Jingxuan repeated: "Then, what about Level 3?"

"An average Magical Girl who awakens her Magic Armor at Seed Level and trains for some time typically has a fluctuation field of Level 1.

Perhaps because of her interest in Bai Jingxuan's Magic Armor, the examiner was exceptionally patient: "At Leaf Level, the fluctuation field would be Level 2, while at Bud Level, it would fluctuate between Level 3 and Level 4, and at Flower Level, it would be around Level 5 to Level 6."

"So, my Level 3 means... "

"Yes, much stronger than average."

The examiner affirmed Bai Jingxuan's words: "To achieve such a fluctuation field level at Leaf Level is almost impossible, unless your magic power foundation differs from ordinary people."

Her next words made Bai Jingxuan's hair stand on end.

— "Or, judging by this data, without a doubt, you should be a Shifter."
