Transform into a magical girl after getting off work-Chapter 450 - 88 All-night New Year’s Blessings

"Is this really okay?"

Crouched at the base of the towering stone tower, Xia Liang slowly removed the continuous patterns on the ground with magic power and couldn’t help but ask, "You said destroying this thing would end the Claw Marks’ plan, but what if it’s a time bomb? Wouldn’t our hasty handling possibly trigger it instead?"

"No problem, I’ve already investigated; this thing does not have magic power supply or storage, which means, at most, it’s just an auxiliary device."

Standing at the tip of the stone tower, Bai Ji, doing almost the same job as Xia Liang, said calmly, "Since there’s no risk in destroying it, we might as well take care of it while the enemy is tied up."

"But are we really okay not helping?"

Glancing toward the direction where Lin Xiaolu and the others had left, Xia Liang expressed her concern, "That enemy, probably isn’t someone they could handle, right?"

Mu Baihe might be somewhat troublesome, but Mimosa is actually very powerful."

Bai Ji, unmoved, said, "I trust my teammates; as for you Fangting City guys... I think their strength isn’t bad either, given that they managed to beat us earlier; you should trust them more than I do."

"That’s really kind of you to say."

Xia Liang couldn’t help but chuckle dryly.

Honestly, she was actually a bit confused about the abilities of her own teammates now.

Although she was the one in the entire Fangting City team whose abilities had developed the fastest, in some recent real combat scenarios, whether it was just her impression or not, the other two seemed to perform better than her.

Bai Jingxuan originally progressed not much slower than her, but lately, her strength had unusually improved, and just now during the fight with the woman from Claw Marks, she even displayed a transformation highly similar to the Claw Marks.

Nobody, including Emerald Sparrow and others, showed any surprise at this transformation form, and Bai Jingxuan herself seemed to take it for granted. It wasn’t hard to imagine that this transformation had been mastered long ago without her knowing.

As for Lin Xiaolu, her original progress was rather mediocre, even slow, but recently, particularly after competing with Bai An City, Lin Xiaolu seemed to have had an epiphany now that she mastered the Turbidification Technology, her practical combat skills improving rapidly. If one day she awakened her Magic Armor, she might have combat capabilities far surpassing the developed stage.

Thinking about it, it seemed that she, staying here to destroy the device, was actually the one with weaker combat capabilities in the team?

"Hmm, thinking like this, am I just worrying over nothing?"

The sudden thought caused Xia Liang to slightly widen her eyes, feeling a bit surprised herself.

However, before she could let her thoughts wander, Bai Ji at the top of the tower spoke again, "Of course, trusting teammates doesn’t mean throwing all the pressure on them, so after we finish our task here, we still need to hurry to support them, to be absolutely safe."

"After all, many times, just doing our assigned job isn’t enough to beat the enemy, doing a bit more can also provide our teammates with some additional space."

Bai Ji, saying this, sped up his own actions, "If you ever want to be a good leader of the Fangting City team, then many times you have to learn to keep a reserve for your team, it’s also what I’m trying to learn to do now."

"...Leader, me?" Xia Liang looked up in confusion.

"Aren’t you the leader of your team?" Bai Ji also looked down, puzzled.

"I don’t think so? After all, our current team leader is Little Senior... I mean Emerald Sparrow, and at other times, it seems Bai Mei takes the lead in most matters."

After pondering a moment, Xia Liang quickly concluded, "No matter how I think about it, ’leader’ doesn’t seem to be a role related to me, why do you think I’m the leader?"

"Maybe because of your temperament or personality, you seem a bit like it compared to the other two."

Bai Ji withdrew his gaze, continuing to look toward the stone tower, "If not, then let me apologize; I didn’t mean to stir up any trouble between you." Find exclusive stories on novelbuddy

"No worries, I was just asking casually."

Xia Liang smiled, waving it off, and refocused on her task, "Well, after all, I’ve never received such a comment before, so I was a bit surprised."

"So then, who actually is the leader of your team?" Bai Ji asked somewhat absentmindedly, as if changing the subject.

"It’s Little Senior, after all, she’s a senior, knows a lot, and everyone trusts her." Xia Liang replied.

"What I meant by ’leader’ isn’t that; after all, in most cities, the Magical Girl team leaders are usually the seniors in the team, including our Bai An City captain, who is a senior that didn’t come to Fangting this time, and everyone respects her."

Bai Ji explained, "I was asking among your Fangting City peers, who is the main leader? Like in the upcoming national assessment, who will be the nominal team leader?"

"Is that really important?"

"Maybe? At least from my perspective, it is important."

Bai Ji stared at the patterns in front of him, "Probably because my mentor has expectations for me, hoping I can ’become the leader’, so over time, I’ve also unconsciously started to care about this issue. After all, one day, our seniors will retire, and we will become someone else’s seniors, at that point, who should make the decisions in the team?"
