Xu Wenxing felt a flicker of doubt and followed the sound forward, only to find an unexpected person had appeared in his dorm room.
“Ch-Ch-Ch… Miss Blazing Flame?!”
Staring at the red-haired girl before him, Xu Wenxing’s eyes widened as he shouted out in disbelief.
“Don’t shout so loud, you’ll disturb others.”
Blazing Flame smiled at Xu Wenxing, as if she had anticipated his reaction all along.
“S-Sorry! I didn’t expect Miss Blazing Flame to suddenly show up in my dorm! I’m so sorry!” Xu Wenxing immediately realized his outburst was inappropriate, his cheeks flushing red.
“Alright, alright, no need to apologize. I’m at fault too for coming back without letting you know first.” Blazing Flame waved her hand casually. “Come in and sit down. Don’t just stand awkwardly by the doorframe.”
“Ah… okay!”
Upon hearing Blazing Flame’s instructions, Xu Wenxing nodded fervently like a little chick pecking at grain. Then, swiftly and steadily, he closed the door behind him, took a few steps, and sat down in his seat, hands on his knees, head lowered, looking quite restrained.
Blazing Flame watched Xu Wenxing’s obedient demeanor and couldn’t help but chuckle softly, as if she saw something amusing.
To Xu Wenxing, this was just her easygoing personality shining through.
So, he mustered up courage and lifted his head to look at Blazing Flame, studying the mysterious Magic Girl in front of him.
He didn’t know much about Blazing Flame.
Not only because she wasn’t the kind of Magic Girl he liked, but also because information about her was extremely scarce.
Scarce to the point of being almost pitiful.
Blazing Flame rarely appeared in public, had never done an Official Interview, and not even the Monster Response Department’s Promotional Videos featured her.
The Forum was full of speculation and conspiracy theories about her.
But after all the guesses, the Forum members realized they didn’t even know what kind of personality she had.
Other than the fact that she always appeared earlier than other Magic Girls in battles, there was almost no other intel.
But from what he saw now, Blazing Flame seemed okay.
After all, she was friendly even to a stranger she’d just met, which definitely spoke well of her character.
Hmm…
…She’s so small.
Her height must be only about 1.4 meters, or barely over 1.5 meters.
Could she be a middle schooler?
The world really has gone downhill—middle schoolers have to do this kind of dangerous work now.
Thinking like that, a high schooler like Meteor suits him better.
Not only does her figure completely outshine Blazing Flame, but also she wouldn’t get him thrown into the slammer.
Looking at Blazing Flame in front of him, Xu Wenxing subconsciously compared her to Meteor, and the conclusion was Meteor’s absolute victory.
“Stop staring. I feel like you’re thinking some really rude things.”
Blazing Flame caught the subtle scrutiny in Xu Wenxing’s gaze and spoke up, telling him to stop looking at her with that weird expression.
“Ah… sorry. It was my fault, Miss Blazing Flame.”
Caught in his own thoughts, Xu Wenxing quickly stopped and politely nodded to her, softly apologizing while confirming one idea in his mind.
Sure enough, Blazing Flame didn’t fit his dating standards.
But the fact he was this lucky to be this close to a Magic Girl—didn’t that mean his love life was about to take off?
Today he met Blazing Flame, tomorrow maybe Sapphire, and the day after, he could bump into Meteor!
He was about to turn his fate around and reach the peak of his life!
“Not offended, really. By the way, don’t you have any questions for me?”
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Blazing Flame watched Xu Wenxing’s gaze drifting somewhere unknown and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Good. Xu Wenxing was just as usual—no interest in someone like her with no chest and no curves.
The rare Magic Girl standing right in front of him, yet his mind was still on some super beautiful girl somewhere else?
Xu Wenxing, you little…
Though slightly annoyed, she wasn’t truly a woman in the real sense—just an ordinary Magic Girl—so it didn’t matter much.
“Ah, come to think of it, I do have some questions for you,” Xu Wenxing straightened his back and said seriously. “Why did you show up in my dorm instead of your own place?”
“Well…”
Blazing Flame drew out her words and fell silent, seeming to consider how to answer.
“Sorry, my question might be a bit too direct, maybe even intrusive. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to. I’ll just pretend nothing happened today.”
Seeing Blazing Flame hesitate, Xu Wenxing assumed his question was too blunt and thoughtfully promised to keep today’s events a secret.
But Blazing Flame shook her head, speaking calmly.
“Don’t be afraid, I was just thinking about how to answer your question.”
“You mean…?” Xu Wenxing asked, puzzled.
“Let me think… ah, got it.”
Blazing Flame pondered for a few seconds, then a faint smile appeared on her lips as she decided how to reveal the truth.
Though she could have kept this secret for a long time if she wanted.
But honestly, there was no real need.
Most of the time, in the dormitory, it was Lu Ren, not Blazing Flame.
Plus, Xu Wenxing didn’t like Blazing Flame’s figure anyway—he only liked a super beautiful girl like Meteor.
Put it all together, the chance she’d cause any trouble was nearly zero.
Sure, there was always a risk of accidents, but hey, she wanted to brag about her achievements a bit.
After being a Magic Girl for so long, having defeated so many Monsters, but never finding anyone to boast about how strong and invincible she was…
Who else could she tell?
She had to share her joy with him immediately!
“You’re Xu Wenxing, right?”
“Ah… yes. How do you know that?”
Xu Wenxing’s face showed confusion.
“I don’t just know you’re Xu Wenxing. I also know you have a game on your phone filled with all kinds of scantily clad beautiful girls. And your favorite thing to do is log in every day to clear the Daily Quests, then poke the Super Beautiful Girl you set as your Kanban Girl with your finger.”
Blazing Flame laughed smugly, describing Xu Wenxing’s usual habits.
Xu Wenxing was shocked beyond words; he hadn’t expected this mysterious Magic Girl to know about his little hobby.
“Also, on your computer, you have a game called Old Man Scroll Bar 5. You have a Graduation Game Save loaded with all sorts of strange Mods, and you’ve never lost a single battle.”
Blazing Flame continued, adding more details.
“Y-You, you…”
Xu Wenxing was so stunned he couldn’t even speak, unsure how to respond.
But soon, looking at the mischievous grin on Blazing Flame’s face, he suddenly remembered the red star-shaped pendant he saw this morning and realized something.
“Y-You’re Brother Ren? How is that possible?!”
