Witch Special

When he first came to this world, because he was not familiar with the situation in this world, Lin Zhenxi changed some of his living habits in the main world, such as getting up early and going out for a run early every morning.

After all, she no longer had to go to work every day, and her base was located in a dilapidated, almost deserted area. Going for a morning run in such a place? She had to have somewhere to go.

But now, with the arrival of Baizhi and Lin Zhenxi's vigorous efforts, order in the abandoned city is gradually being restored. Although Baizhi's influence hasn't yet penetrated the depths of the abandoned city, at least the main road behind Lin Zhenxi's magic station leading to the main city has been leveled and cleared, becoming clean and tidy.

Incidentally, the idle people and insignificant little weirdos around were also cleared out. At least on both sides of this street, there was no longer much of the decadent state of the abandoned city.

Lin Zhenxi's morning jogging habit was once again awakened.

However, developing good habits requires persistence over time. Once you give up, it often takes twice as much effort to pick them up again. Her body had become accustomed to sleeping late and waking up late, so when the alarm clock rang early in the morning, it was immediately "shattered" by Lin Zhenxi's wandless spell, which was full of irritability.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi is also a very strong person. Since he has made a decision, he will definitely do it no matter how painful the process is.

For example, enduring the headache caused by being woken up and crawling out of the extremely warm bed.

With his eyes closed, he pulled open the curtains to let his eyelids adapt to the bright sky in advance. Then, Lin Zhenxi lifted the quilt, sat up naked from the bed, and stepped barefoot on the soft carpet.

"Yanyan, get up." Lin Zhenxi didn't want to bear the pain of getting up early alone. It is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. The same is true for suffering. So Lin Zhenxi, with the mentality that if I don't have a good time, the cat won't have an easy time either, picked up the black cat that was sleeping in the corner of the room like a black coal ball, and said while shaking it.

The black cat Yanyan waved her claws in frustration and kept making impatient meows, but what threat could a cat with her fate already hanging by the scruff of the neck pose? After making a fuss for a while, she opened her eyes very reluctantly.

"Get up, get up, let the cat go, Maki you're such a nuisance!"

"Hehe." Lin Zhenxi threw her cat onto the messy bed and began searching the room for her wand, which had been scattered around the room yesterday and was now nowhere to be found. But Lin Zhenxi seemed to have an innate ability to make her bedroom messier than a collapsed library shelf. The floor was now covered in books and notebooks, and finding a small, dark stick among them was no easy task.

There was no other way. Lin Zhenxi, whose patience was exhausted by the pile of books in front of him, could only shout "Come here, magic wand", and then caught his own magic wand that jumped out from under the pile of books.

Casting spells without a wand is ten times more difficult than casting with a wand, and even the previously precisely controlled magic output becomes unstable. While a wand can't match the magic amplification of a large staff, it does have the effect of increasing the precise control of magic power. Lin Zhenxi is more accustomed to the delicate use of magic rather than pursuing the effect and power of magic, so she has become accustomed to holding the wand in her hand when casting magic. Without the wand in her hand, she can't use some spells that require more mana control.

With the wand in hand, Lin Zhenxi regained his mastery of magic. With a gentle wave of the wand, the books and notebooks scattered across the bedroom floor were rearranged according to Lin Zhenxi's memory.

Lin Zhenxi used a repair spell to restore the alarm clock she had smashed in a fit of rage. After tidying up her bedroom, she picked up the black cat, who was about to fall back asleep, and carried her into the bathroom. Yanyan's scream after being doused with water finally woke both the cat and the person.

After tying her hair into a ponytail and changing into her sportswear, Lin Zhenxi jogged three kilometers along the main road. She could clearly feel her stamina decline compared to her time in the Main World. The human body, like machinery, was perfectly fine if it operated normally. But once stopped, all sorts of problems could easily arise when restarted. To regain her former form, she had to exert even greater effort than before.

On the way back, Lin Zhenxi had to slow down her pace, but even so, when she ran back again, her bangs were already wet with sweat and stuck firmly to her forehead.

Panting heavily, Lin Zhenxi leaned on his knees and tried to slow his breathing. Yanyan held his front paws to his chest, wagging his tail and floating above Lin Zhenxi's head, shaking his head at Lin Zhenxi's current embarrassment.

"Maki, you really lame right now, meow."

"Shut up... or... I'll feed you... mustard."

"No mustard!" Yanyan immediately shouted with bared teeth and claws.

Lin Zhenxi took a breath and felt like she was alive again. Her body had begun to rust after not exercising for a long time, and the process of making it flexible again was really painful.

This morning run had made him sweat a lot, so he had to wash off thoroughly. But when he was about to go back, Lin Zhenxi saw a scene with a very rustic atmosphere.

Saitama was squatting on the balcony railing, slurping down a bowl of instant noodles. Beneath his beach pants, his legs were covered in black hair.

There's no hair on his head, but the hair on his legs is surprisingly well-developed...

"Hi, good morning, uncle." Lin Maki waved and greeted Saitama.

Saitama raised the bowl of instant noodles in his hand and shook it towards Lin Maki.

"Xiaolin, don't forget about going to the Hero Association today."

Lin Zhenxi paused, finally remembering what she'd forgotten yesterday. That's right, because the House of Evolution suddenly appeared and gave away their lives, Saitama's original plan to register with the Hero Association as an official hero was dashed. But missing a day wasn't a big deal. The Hero Association's hero registration wasn't some kind of qualification exam that only happened once or twice a year; it was a permanent program. If he hadn't made it yesterday, he could still go today.

"Well, let's go after I finish my meal." Lin Zhenxi shook her ponytail behind her head, activated the teleportation mark on her body, and went straight back upstairs. The black cat was stunned for a moment while floating in the air, and then realized that it had been abandoned by its owner.

"Damn Maki, stinky Maki..." Yanyan muttered regretfully, flicking her tail and flying to Saitama's home with ease. During this period, except for Lin Maki's magic field, she spent almost all her time at Saitama's home.

In fact, Lin Zhenxi was too lazy to prepare food for the black cat. If she was alone, she could solve the battle by eating some light food. But Yanyan was a hedonistic cat. If conditions allowed, she would definitely make a fuss and ask for warm cat food. She would even look down on canned food and cat strips. She was very difficult to please.

Let Yanyan stay in Saitama for a while. Lin Zhenxi not only has to take a shower, but also put on makeup. Girls have a lot of preparations to do before going out.

When Lin Zhenxi came downstairs again, Saitama had already asked Yanyan for the time for the fourth time. When Lin Zhenxi appeared, she saw Saitama hugging his chest and looking at her with a sour face.

"You're so slow, Xiaolin. We've been waiting for a long time."

"Uncle... dressing appropriately before going out is also a respect for others, especially in public places." Lin Zhenxi rolled her eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to this terrible man who was obviously going to take the hero qualification exam but was still wearing casual clothes.

Lin Zhenxi is now a celebrity in City Z. Although she's also a homebody, never responding to invitations from officials of any rank, City Z's resurgence truly depends on the performance of Baizhi. Under these circumstances, any appearance by Lin Zhenxi could potentially make news. For the sake of Baizhi's corporate image and to minimize her own exposure, Lin Zhenxi must carefully manage her image.

When Lin Zhenxi passed by Saitama, Saitama suddenly sniffed his nose, then opened his mouth and sneezed loudly. He rubbed his nose and looked at Lin Zhenxi's back, frowning and muttering, "What a nice smell! What's that smell..."

It wasn't that Lin Zhenxi had sprayed perfume. The eternally young 17-year-old witch didn't need those things at all, but she did put fragrance balls in the cabinet where she stored her clothes. The fragrance Saitama had just smelled actually came from the formal clothes that Lin Zhenxi had just put on.

And this is the kind of thing that a straight man doesn't need to know.

Neither Hayashi Maki nor Saitama were used to using cars. Hayashi Maki's preferred mode of transportation was her magic broom, while Saitama could run faster than a plane, so the two of them tacitly agreed not to use a car. After determining the exact location of the Z City Hero Association, Saitama started to jog to his destination.

Lin Zhenxi silently took out her magic broom. She was sweating even after jogging five kilometers in the morning. Running all the way from the abandoned city to the city center? She chose to fly there.

"Let's meet at the entrance of the Hero Association, uncle."

"Your broom... um, okay." Saitama wanted to remind Lin Zhenxi that the flying broom should not be seen by others, but then he thought that Lin Zhenxi was much smarter than him, and there was no way that Lin Zhenxi could not have thought of what he could think of, so he shut his mouth and nodded.

So the two people, one in the sky and one in the ground, headed in the same direction.
