Chapter 137 Professional players are prohibited from participating!
Qiubaiyang Arcade.
It is currently the largest arcade and gaming entertainment venue in Chengdu, bar none.
—At least that's what the promotional video says.
In addition to common arcade games, there are also VR and AR zones, board game zones, and even a professional e-sports stage.
And the most popular game in the entire arcade—【Magical Girl☆Great Battle】.
"There are twenty contestants in total, and each of them will receive a magic wand that is enchanted and can cast completely harmless teleportation spells to send their opponents away from the arena."
"Every visitor will receive a lucky gift, but if you are the last one standing in the free-for-all, you will receive a laser ticket personally signed by me."
Hope everyone has fun!
The screen played a video of the shooting game, with the magical girl Qiu Baiyang herself standing in front of the camera, smiling and introducing it.
Su Tianqing sat in the spectator area, glanced up at the video that was played as usual before the start of the game, and then turned her attention to the field with the people around her.
At the sound of a whistle, the players on the field immediately began their chase.
Various magical beams flew back and forth, and those who had never used magic before had no aim at all, making the fight resemble a bumper car scene.
Seeing the tourists' cheerful laughter, Su Tianqing couldn't help but smile as well.
That's right, that's the ultimate goal for magical girls.
A magical girl who brings smiles to everyone and makes life more fun should be brimming with youthful energy!
Of course, this is not to deny the danger and importance of intense battles, but it is precisely because of these things that bring laughter as a diversion that the battles of magical girls are even more worthy of respect and commemoration.
But in the queue, Su Tianqing spotted a figure that made her heart blaze with joy.
Flower bell.
This young literary enthusiast seemed very interested in Qiu Baiyang's laser ticket, and mingled with the ordinary people with great anticipation, her eyes brimming with fighting spirit.
But she is none other than the magical girl Iris, a magical girl known for her long-range firepower. If Karin were to wield that wand...
Su Tianqing suddenly felt that Qiu Baiyang seemed to have overlooked something in the selection of the target audience for this game.
That is—professional players are prohibited from participating in matches!
.
Magical Girl [Iris].
One of the new magical girls registered with the Hero Association, she is a firepower type, complementing the extreme melee type of magical girl Hyacinth. With the strong support of Nightingale, she becomes the absolute core of Hyacinth's team.
Everyone believed that the Hyacinth Squad could emerge as a rising star and take the top spot in this year's magical girl squad competition.
Given their outstanding performance in the recent Astral Jellyfish Re-emergence event, the title of Player of the Year seems practically within their grasp.
And Iris, who plays the core firepower support role in such a team, also possesses absolutely remarkable strength—
Last week, during the preliminary assessment of magical girls at the Hero Association's national headquarters, Iris achieved an outrageous score of 200 rings on 20 targets in both the moving-to-moving magic cannon and magic missile shooting, crushing Magical Girl Lily's 195 rings and taking the top spot.
No one doubts this new magical girl's firepower, and Su Tianqing is no exception.
And when this magical girl wields a wand in her normal state and joins a chaotic battle among ordinary people...
"Is everyone ready?"
"Just think 'Fire!' and the wand will automatically fire a beam of magic in the direction you want it to go."
The screen displayed an introduction to the poplar tree. Nineteen tourists were eager to try it out, while one person calmly weighed the magic wand in his hand, as if getting used to its weight.
"Then... let the competition begin!"
At the sound of a clear bell, the tourists immediately rushed out from their waiting positions and ran joyfully through the area filled with obstacles and walls.
At first, everyone thought it was just an ordinary game, an ordinary free-for-all, a fun battle that would bring smiles.
But when the girl with glasses and a long dress quietly appeared on the field, everyone's attention was drawn to her.
Her elegant figure, light steps, and unwavering gaze straight ahead made her resemble a magical girl wielding a magic cannon.
The magic wand in her hand seemed to have its own life, always able to fire a beam of light the instant a tourist suddenly appeared around a corner, sending the opponent away from the arena before they could react.
Su Tianqing looked at the ignorant tourists with pity.
Nan Xiaofeng and her friends were having a great time playing inflatable hockey not far away, completely unaware of the horrific scene unfolding before them.
The literary girl in the long dress paced forward in the arena, her eyes always focused on the obstacles and corners of the walls in front of her, yet she could lift an opponent away the instant he emerged from behind.
Seeing her precision, as if she had eyes in the back of her head, Su Tianqing suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
This is just Karin's normal state before she transforms. If she were to awaken the Shadow of Stars, how terrifying would her power become?
Su Tianqing couldn't imagine it.
Soon, people noticed the girl with light steps on the field.
When Hana Rin's head count reached 9, a number no one had ever achieved before, the girl stopped in the center of the field, standing quietly as if waiting for the last person to appear.
Just two minutes later, the match, which originally took at least five minutes to finish, was down to only Karin and one other tourist.
Su Tianqing glanced at the little child who was holding a magic wand and huddled behind the wall, peeking out to observe. A sense of sadness welled up in her heart.
It must be tough on the kids. The girl in front of you is the real magical girl who won the title of best firepower champion this year. How are you going to fight her?
"..."
Hua Ling looked around, seemingly unaware of the child's peek, and turned to check the situation on the other side.
The child immediately seized the opportunity, leaning out the moment Hualing turned around and raising his wand at her.
Just before the magic beam was fired, Karin's wand emitted a beam of light, pointing directly at the spot where the child was leaning out—
"Whoa!!"
With a gasp, the last opponent was happily eliminated by Karin, and her kill count remained at an unbelievable 10.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause, cheering for Karin's outstanding performance.
The girl quickly received a limited-edition laser ticket from the staff and happily ran back to the golden fox.
"Hualin is amazing! She eliminated ten people!"
Su Tianqing smiled and clapped her hands as she spoke.
The girl blushed slightly, looking a little shy.
"Hehe... I was just lucky... Sister Tianqing, look! This is Qiu Baiyang's classic laser ticket from when he was a newcomer, it's super rare!"
"Xiaofeng would probably really like this, why don't we go show it to her?"
"Xiao Feng... oh right, she's a fan of Qiu Baiyang, she'll definitely like her!"
The girl walked happily toward the nearby hockey rink and soon gathered around with laughter.
Seeing their cheerful expressions, Su Tianqing couldn't help but turn her gaze to the light green and gray magical girl on the screen.
A magical girl who brings joy to people, Miss Akihaku Poplar is truly worthy of respect.
So...
The golden fox glanced down again at the upcoming round of the competition.
Should I, this fox, also give it a try?
