Off Work, Then Transform into a Magical Girl-Chapter 72 – In the crisis
As one of the basic spell formulas, the magic barrier is a compulsory course for most magicians, and even magical girls.
The barrier has many functions. Firstly, it can be used for defense, blocking others' magic attacks. Secondly, it can create a closed space, which is very practical for trapping enemies, protecting oneself, soundproofing, or serving as an experimental site.
Just like the huge magic barrier enveloping the orphanage now, it is also an application of this spell formula.
However, Tian Sheng cannot achieve that level. It is impossible for him to cover such a large building complex with a magic barrier, even if he reaches the level of a controller. It must be the work of a whole group.
It seems that it is the group of people chasing after him.
He selected a dice that looked the newest from his hand, held it tightly, and as the magic power surged, fine and shiny patterns appeared on the dice.
The black-robed person behind him also emitted a bright light. Then, several red magic bullets, burning like flames, shot out from his hand, directly aiming at Tian Sheng's head.
At the same moment, when the magic bullets were about to hit, Tian Sheng handed the dice to the person behind him. Just in time, a hexagonal magic barrier suddenly unfolded behind him.
Several magic bullets hit the magic barrier behind Tian Sheng, almost instantly causing cracks in the barrier and emitting a sharp and metallic screech.
The spell formula used by the black-robed person is called Flame Bullet, which is a common attack spell formula in the energy shaping category. It has a relatively high destructive power among spells of the same level, and its power far exceeds that of ordinary small-caliber firearms.
During the confrontation, both of them could clearly see that besides the Flame Bullets hitting the barrier, the ones that missed hit the wall of the corridor, easily creating several deep pits.
The two spell formulas confronted each other behind Tian Sheng for less than two seconds. In the end, the Flame Bullets extinguished, but his magic barrier also exploded directly.
Boom!
The spell structure was shattered at the closest distance to his body, and the strong impact generated by the explosion pushed Tian Sheng, surpassing his original running speed, and made him fly into the air, then uncontrollably roll over.
It seems to end here.
When he was floating in the air, he vaguely understood this.
After landing, the two people behind him must have been ready for the next spell formula. At that time, he and the little girl on his shoulder would probably never be able to escape.
He didn't know that those people's target was Bai Jingxuan, but it didn't prevent him from hoping that this unfortunate child could survive in her short ten-year life.
In terms of spell research, he is a rookie who can't be called a magician. But in real life, he is a caregiver in this orphanage.
As a caregiver, his duty tells him that these children who have fallen here due to the misfortunes in their lives should have a happy future.
So he exerted his last strength, let go of his hand in the air, chose a relatively low angle, and threw Bai Jingxuan out.
After a while, he landed first, fell to the ground, and felt a sharp pain.
Bai Jingxuan, not far away, was slightly better. She fell to the ground on her side, rolled several times along the corridor before stopping.
She raised her head, blinked her eyes in her dirty face, and looked at Tian Sheng in surprise.
"Your illness shouldn't have lasted that long, right?"
Tian Sheng, lying on the ground, forced a wry smile at Bai Jingxuan. "Don't let Uncle Tian's efforts go to waste. Run."
Only then did Bai Jingxuan realize that her legs had regained some sensation.
However, compared to regaining sensation and having light legs again, she felt that her heart suddenly became extremely heavy.
She was a sensible child and knew what to do at this moment.
Even if she didn't want to, she understood the current situation, understood Tian Sheng's meaning, and knew that turning around and leaving was the best way to repay him.
"Thank you."
Without hesitation, she said softly, then supported herself with her hands, stood up from the ground, and stumbled away in the distance.
Behind her, Tian Sheng grinned and watched her leave, then clenched the dice in his hand, showing a fierce and resolute expression as he unleashed the next spell formula behind him.
The futile battle began once again.
Listening to the intense collision of spell formulas behind him, Bai Jingxuan almost turned back, but she restrained the impulse, gritted her teeth, and continued to run.
Before long, she finally reached the staircase on the other side of the corridor.
It was here that she encountered another unexpected presence.
"...Mo Ke?"
She saw a pink cat-shaped fairy constantly tapping on the window of the corridor, opening its mouth wide as if shouting something to her.
Without much time to hesitate, she pushed open the window and let Mo Ke in.
"Xiao Xuan! Hoo, hoo... I finally found you. Run!"
Mo Ke jumped in from the window, first shouted excitedly, then stopped to catch her breath for a moment, and continued shouting, "I overheard their conversation. They are targeting you!"It delivered an outdated piece of information with an excited tone.
This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.
"Um, got it."
Bai Jingxuan, equally out of breath, nodded without a ripple in her heart.
"Eh? You already knew?"
Mo Ke was taken aback at first, her face showing a hint of embarrassment. Then she put on a serious face and said, "Anyway, the entire orphanage is now sealed off by a magic barrier. It's unrealistic to think of escaping, but we can find a place to hide first!"
"Where should we hide?" Bai Jingxuan asked in confusion.
"Eh? You don't know where to hide?"
Mo Ke was taken aback again, her face showing a bit of embarrassment once more. But she quickly regained her seriousness and said, "Anyway, let's start running! Those guys behind us are catching up! The noise from the fight just now will attract other bad guys!"
She was right about that.
Because she was also attracted by the sound of the explosion.
Upon discovering that the orphanage was sealed off, Mo Ke's first thought was to go back and find Bai Jingxuan. However, she overheard the conversation of the people in black robes on the way and learned that their target was her friend.
In her haste, she rushed to Bai Jingxuan's room, only to find it empty. She could only run around like a headless fly, looking for the girl.
She even thought that the girl had been captured by those people and wanted to venture into a more dangerous area. If it weren't for the explosion just now, she wouldn't have found this place.
Unfortunately, as a fairy with no combat power, even if she successfully met up with Bai Jingxuan, apart from providing the outdated news, she wouldn't have any power to protect her. After a brief exchange, she could only persuade Bai Jingxuan to run in a safer direction.
So, after choosing a direction, they both ran towards the third floor.
They kept running until they reached the third floor. Seeing people running down the hallway, they had to go to the fourth floor.
Bai Jingxuan was still running, but the scenery in the corridor gradually lost its meaning.
The move by Tian Sheng to save her from the crisis reminded her of a more distant memory.
Her thoughts were no longer in this orphanage, but three years ago, in the disaster that changed her life. Amid the noise, screams, and severe pain in her left eye, she felt the arms that embraced her from the air.
In fear and confusion, that was the safest haven.
She could even remember that when she tried to open her right eye wide to see what was happening, she saw a girl in a pink puff dress.
Was that the legendary Magical Girl?
"Are you okay? Can you hold on a little longer?"
The girl's hair color was similar to the color of her dress, a comforting cherry blossom pink. She looked at Bai Jingxuan with a worried and caring expression, her hand opened, and several strange patterns that were invisible to the naked eye flew out of her hand and landed on Bai Jingxuan's left eye, which was already numb with pain.
Then, Bai Jingxuan felt no pain.
She was drowsy at the time and didn't know what to say, so she could only nod gently at the girl, but she couldn't even say thank you.
"So, just wait a little longer, and you'll be safe soon."
The girl put Bai Jingxuan, who was in her arms, on a slightly flat ground: "If you're scared, close your eyes."
Then, she rose into the air again in a pink light.
Bai Jingxuan didn't close her eyes. Although she was scared and felt dizzy from blood loss, she still stubbornly watched the direction the girl left, wanting to see the outcome.
She saw the girl fly in front of the monster, she saw the girl use her dazzling magic to block the monster's attack, she saw a fancy magic wand appear in the girl's hand.
Then, she heard the righteous incantation of the pink girl:
"Magical Girl, Flower Card certification number 41055, Sakura, extermination mission begins!"

That was the last scene she remembered before she passed out.
The images in her memory began to blur, and Bai Jingxuan's steps gradually slowed down.
She didn't continue to run, her speed became slower and slower, until she finally stopped.
Mo Ke, who was running with her, saw no one beside her, immediately turned around and saw Bai Jingxuan standing still. She quickly returned and asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is your illness acting up?"
"Fairy... Mo Ke."
Bai Jingxuan's thoughts gradually gathered, stepping out of her memories, the scenery in front of her became clear again.
The memory of the pink Magical Girl in the crisis, like a seed, had been buried in Bai Jingxuan's heart. After three years, this seed had been covered in dust and even lost its vitality, but now, in another crisis, she found it and picked it up again.
She took a deep breath and spoke, feeling an unprecedented clarity in her heart:
"Please tell me, how can I become a Magical Girl?"
