Starting from a Magical Girl, Dominating Eternity-Chapter 60 - 26: Monster Slaying with Bare Hands

By the time Li Yi arrived at Jiang Keke’s house, it was already getting dark.

Jiang Keke’s house was fairly large, with a small fenced yard. The yard was well-decorated, with a rain shelter above, and two mulberry trees planted on either side of the gate that were easy to care for; one was almost dead, and the other wasn’t much better off.

As she walked up to the gate, Li Yi was still thinking about how to start the conversation later. She was never good at visiting other people’s homes, and this time she came on her own without bringing a gift. Along with Jiang Si’s cold attitude, she was a bit worried it might be too awkward.

Before she could knock, she heard some dull "thud" "thud" sounds from the yard, like something heavy hitting the ground.

Li Yi’s heart sank immediately, and she quickly grabbed her Miracle Seed.

The sound was clearly abnormal. Had the Witch Association already infiltrated?

She faintly heard Keke’s exhausted yet slightly laborious breath, as if she had just been through a battle.

She gently pushed the gate and found that it wasn’t locked, confirming her suspicion even more.

Not to mention it’s Saturday, even if there was a make-up class, school should have ended by now. At this late hour, who wouldn’t lock their gate?

How audacious of the Witch Association to dare intrude into a Magical Girl’s home, utterly lawless! They just don’t care about the Disaster Strategy Bureau!

Fueled by anger, Li Yi burst through the door, clutching her Miracle Seed, transforming as she dashed inside, "Don’t be afraid, Keke, I’m here to help you!"

In the slightly narrow yard, the bicycle leaned against the wall was blown to the ground by her, and some fallen leaves flew up with it.

Pink light illuminated the small yard, and in a moment, the transformed Yin Lian stood frozen with a Magic Wand in her hand, while on the other side of the yard, Keke, who couldn’t lift a 100 kg dumbbell, stared at her blankly.

Besides the two of them, there was no one else in the yard...

For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Wha-what’s wrong? What’s going on, Captain Yin Lian?"

Quickly releasing the transformation, Li Yi propped up the bicycle nearby and awkwardly chuckled, "I heard something going on in your yard and thought the Witch Association had come in... The Disaster Strategy Bureau detected the Witch Association’s activities today, it’s not me being paranoid."

With that explanation, Keke realized and found it a bit funny.

Li Yi asked, "But what were you doing, making such a racket...?"

Keke couldn’t keep laughing, immediately releasing the dumbbell, "Nothing, just exercising a bit."

Since last night, she had been at war with this dumbbell.

Keke finally understood what Jiang Si often said—having unresolved thoughts.

Though she could lift it after transforming, not being able to lift it after reverting to normal bothered Keke immensely.

So after finishing her homework and dinner, with nothing better to do, she started trying again in the yard.

Being a Magical Girl now, she didn’t want to lose to Jiang Si...

But the more she tried, the more she understood human limitations and how terrifying Jiang Si truly was.

Practically inhuman.

Physical strength nearing that of a transformed Magical Girl’s state—truly astonishing.

"What’s so great about a dumbbell for training?" Li Yi muttered, trying to cover her embarrassment, she nonchalantly grabbed the dumbbell, "For a Magical Girl, even without transforming, your strength should increase, this bit of weight shouldn’t..."

She tried lifting it and it didn’t budge.

In fact, Li Yi almost got the wind knocked out of her.

Her expression turned serious, and she used both hands to grab the dumbbell, trying again with all her might.

Still no movement.

Li Yi looked up at Keke, and Keke looked back innocently, an awkward silence fell.

"Is this even a human-used dumbbell?"

"It’s what Jiang Si uses for his daily training..."

Li Yi was speechless, recalling that pitiful cripple, "Then it’s not that surprising."

Sparked by competitiveness, she quietly borrowed some magic power from the seed, and using both hands with all her strength, Li Yi finally lifted the dumbbell, "Although—although it’s heavy, for a Magical Girl, it’s not impossible..."

Keke, naturally guessing she used magic, didn’t expose her, only poking Li Yi on the forehead, "Weightlifting makes you grow short, Captain."

Li Yi immediately dropped the dumbbell, which hit the ground with a loud ’thump’.

Clapping her hands, Li Yi stretched her arms and casually changed the subject, "Why didn’t you lock the door at such a late hour?"

"Jiang Si hasn’t come back yet."

Li Yi froze, her expression turning nervous, "Oh no, it’s so late, he couldn’t have been taken by the Witch Association, could he?"

"No, not likely?"

Keke was uncertain, "He often comes back late too."

"What’s he doing outside so late?"

"Working out, or running errands to earn some pocket money." Keke checked the time on her phone, "It’s only eight, generally he’ll be back by ten. Let’s see if he returns by then."

"No, the Witch Association already started taking action today, and this afternoon he even got into a fight with someone controlled by them! We can’t sit and wait until ten."

Li Yi immediately stood up, "We need to find him!"

"Jiang Si got into a fight with someone controlled by the Witch Association this afternoon?" As Keke followed the captain out, she locked the door, asking, "What do you mean? Did they make ordinary people fight him?"

"Yes, the Witch Association can use Seeds of Sorrow to enhance ordinary people, it’s very dangerous!"

Keke let out an "oh", and instinctively asked, "Was he injured?"
