It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

As a result, the software wouldn’t let me open the author platform, and the web version wouldn’t let me copy and paste.

Chapter 33 Announcement 2

I'm really sorry for the delay... I still haven't solved the copy and paste issue, but the good news is that my computer isn't affected.

After I finish writing the fifth volume of "White Hair Magic Office", I will resume writing 2,000 words a day.

I don't know if anyone still sees it though.

But I will definitely write it. It would be a waste if I don’t write after finishing the outline.)

Chapter 34 Competition

But even though she was verbally attacked to the point where she couldn't refute it, Bai Lin's attitude remained firm. She looked at Katie coldly, her eyes seemed to say "no".

Katie pouted a little dissatisfiedly, then slowly stood up and turned her body towards Bai Lin.

"You are actually worried that I am not strong enough and something will happen, right?" Katie bent down and stood in front of Bai Lin, her serious expression occupying Bai Lin's entire sight.

"Eh--?"

Is my meaning expressed so clearly?

But at this time, Bai Lin would naturally choose to express himself frankly.

"Well, you're right, that forest is very dangerous—"

"Then let's decide it by the outcome!"

Katie was standing up when she pointed her index finger at Bai Lin, interrupting her. This was the first time Bai Lin had seen her so domineering and decisive.

But even so, she's still very cute. Bai Lin chose to ignore what the other person said, as it was too outrageous for her. That's why she only had these kinds of thoughts.

No, what am I thinking about!

Bai Lin, who had awakened from the temptation of Katie's beauty, quickly patted his head before responding to what Katie said.

"ha--?"

-

The inexplicable duel began just like that. The venue was a street not far from the door. Although Bai Lin had fought here once before, the street scene during the day still made her feel a little unfamiliar.

The wind blew up a cloud of sand. According to Katie, he had to keep a ten-meter distance from her as a magician, following the rules. Although he didn't know where this rule came from, Bai Lin finally agreed.

If a little knock on her stubborn head could dissuade her from thinking that, that would be fine. Bai Lin thought so. She didn't intend to go all out, but just took out her weapon loosely with the idea of ​​teaching her daughter a lesson.

He even consciously changed into leather armor, an action that made Katie feel like she was being mocked.

Ten meters away, Katie saw Bai Lin standing there with all his body broken and without any fighting spirit. She shook her head helplessly and a little annoyed. Then she warned loudly:

"It's about to begin! I won't show any mercy!"

Puff. Bai Lin laughed inwardly, but she still put on a polite attitude.

I didn't expect that the first stop after training with the uncle would be to fight with her.

Bai Lin put on a confident smile, and she began to feel some anticipation for the results of her training.

"Then let's get started!"

The moment the voice came out of Bai Lin's mouth, she kicked the ground and kicked far forward.

The Blazing Iron Forging Method is more akin to Xingyi martial arts than a sword technique, primarily constructing specific moves based on the core concept of overwhelming the opponent's momentum.

Therefore, Bai Lin's kick left a deep mark on the ground. She shot out like a bullet and closed the distance of four meters in an instant.

The more she displayed and used her strength, the more her confidence and momentum would rise, and her strength would increase even more during the battle. However, she had no intention of overwhelming Katie, so her momentum was still somewhat limited.

Katie also bent her arms forward and closed her eyes. The moment she closed her eyes, complex circular patterns began to appear in front of her hands, appearing more irregular and chaotic than the usual magic circles in games.

The formation on her left hand was quickly completed, while the one on her right was still being completed. Katie's elegant blonde hair swayed in the wind, creating a mysterious aura amidst the two different colors of light.

This is probably what it feels like to be a magic messenger. Mystery is always an important element of magic.

Is Bai Lin really envious of this world's magic being so cool? But this doesn't affect her pace of progress.

Five meters... four meters... three meters...

It's now!

Katie suddenly opened her eyes at this moment, and they reflected the same complex magical patterns. Although the magic circle on her right hand was not yet completed, she still revealed a relaxed and somewhat sinister smile.

"Although my magic is mainly used for sacrifice and healing, don't underestimate me, Bai Lin."

Immediately afterwards, the magic circle that Katie had already carved on her left hand shone brightly, and Bai Lin's eyes and brain were instantly shocked. This move shocked her greatly, not only the vision, but also the ringing in her ears that drowned out all other sounds.

She covered her eyes in pain, and then felt a scorching impact on her abdomen, causing Bai Lin to stumble back two steps. However, she managed to find her footing and protected her head with her shield.

I never thought that flashes of light could actually make people feel nauseous. Bai Lin felt like he had lost his eyes and could only prioritize protecting his vital parts.

After two days in the other world, she had almost forgotten that the rule of survival in that world was to be respectful of everything and never to become complacent. This was something she had learned when she was still a otaku, and now she was suffering from her pride.

Standing there, not even panicking when I approached, isn't this a clear trap? Bai Lin thought as another magical impact struck her knee, this time with a bone-chilling icy chill. While the impact wasn't as strong as last time, the pain nearly knocked her off balance.

Damn it, now I'm just a fixed target.

She had never expected that a single spell could give her such a headache. However, Bai Lin remained relatively calm and didn't swing her sword wildly. Instead, she squatted down to minimize her attack range.

Perhaps due to the blazing iron forging technique, the flashes before her eyes quickly began to dissipate bit by bit. Bai Lin was hit by another scorching heat wave, groaned, and slowly stood up, opening her eyes. Her vision and hearing slowly returned to her.

Katie muttered an incantation, the sound coming from all directions. Bai Lin subconsciously looked around with his still blurry vision, barely deflecting an incoming fireball with his shield, and slightly accumulating some energy. Not far from the direction the fireball came from, there happened to be a figure.

There was an opportunity to move away, yet they were so close?

Suspicious, very suspicious, Bai Lin thought.

Resume update (probably)

Chapter 35 The Power of the Magician

Although it was indeed very suspicious, Bai Lin could not find any other targets in his sight.

Despite some hesitation, she still chose to attack. After all, although the dazzling flash actually affected all her senses, she could still vaguely sense the direction of the impact.

On the positive side, it is a direction worth trying!

Holding the shield, Bai Lin closed the distance with two quick steps. He wanted to use the energy released by the flaming long blade to extend the attack range and ensure a one-hit kill, but even though he was serious, Bai Lin's subconscious still softened a little.

She didn't swing the sword completely, choosing instead to use the strong wind created by the slash, using the sparks to signal her retraction and victory. The flames did indeed scrape against the figure. But—

Obviously, this trap, so obvious that it couldn't be more obvious, was indeed a trap. The moment the sparks touched the figure, they instantly transformed into strands of silky shadows, wrapping around Bai Lin's body at lightning speed.

The seemingly soft shadow was actually more clinging than she'd expected. Rather than restraining Bai Lin with force, it was more like restricting her. It was like using a sharp knife to cut a tissue floating in the air. It wasn't because the knife wasn't sharp enough, but because it couldn't exert its full strength.

In short, while the tension was high, the shadow was constantly changing, even targeting the important joints of Bai Lin's body. She felt like she had a lot of skills but nowhere to display them.

Furthermore, beyond the physical limitations, the shadow was also wearing away her will. There was a strange, icy feeling that was gradually making Bai Lin lose her will to fight, and even made her feel fearful.

But this was meaningless. Although Bai Lin was not proficient in the scorching iron forging method yet, she had already grasped the key points. Soon, the cold feeling flowed from her body to each of her limbs, and finally disappeared completely.

The shadow quickly dissipated. At this moment, a bad feeling washed over Bai Lin. Katie hadn't cast a spell in a long time, which was strange.

There is another possibility, which is...

She didn't have time to think about it. She immediately saw the only shadow under her feet that had not been dispelled and understood the opponent's true position. Bai Lin turned her head immediately, but she had already lost the opportunity to raise her shield to defend.

What she saw was Katie Pello floating in the air, with three complex circular magic circles on her back, right leg, and feet. By staying away from the ground, Katie had overlapped her shadow with Bai Lin's to a certain extent, preventing her from noticing anything was wrong immediately.

At the same time, she used Mirror Shadow Magic to mislead Bai Lin's thoughts, causing him to fall into a trap and delaying her for quite a while. Since recovering from the flash, her attack intervals have been very long.

Of course, Katie couldn't have wasted so much time. She was preparing a large spell.

From the very beginning, Bai Lin was led by Katie Pello. Perhaps this is the wonder of magic.

She remembered a saying from her original world: "A mage's intelligence must be truly added to himself." Compared to Bai Lin, Katie was much more fragile, and her attacks were more difficult and less powerful.

But the ever-changing magic will make tactics more diverse, thus better able to dominate a battle.

"Do you want to fight again?"

Katie Pelo opened her eyes and smiled brightly at the dazed Bai Lin. She had indeed won.

"Tsk, I don't believe it. What if you are using some large-scale healing magic to fool me?" Bai Lin said stubbornly, gritting his teeth.

By saying this, she actually admitted that the other party had indeed won, but Bai Lin wanted to experience for herself how powerful this magic was.

Since they had already lost, assessing their teammates' combat capabilities was a necessary step. She tucked her sword and shield back at her waist, lowered her center of gravity, and adjusted her breathing.

The remaining energy could be released once more. She placed all her weight on her back foot, ready to launch a full-strength attack.

Shield Reaper: Energy Release

"Lüe" means to pass by. This word is used to indicate that the attack barely made contact with the shield, implying a strike of exquisite speed and precision. After all, her energy release switch is connected to the shield, so it's only natural that she would create such a move.

"Then let me show you the power of magic!"

Three magic circles lit up simultaneously. Unlike the previous flashes, while still bright, they carried a greater sense of holiness. The magic circle behind her passed through Katie Pello and arrived in front of her, a massive beam of light gushing out.

Here it comes! Bai Lin didn't dare hesitate and quickly swung out the sword with all his strength. Compared to the beam of light, the flame looked too weak.

But who says that a sharp knife cannot cut through a rushing waterfall?

Just like that, the two energies collided. Bai Lin's eyes were covered by the light, and she couldn't see the final result. But she had already attacked, and that was enough.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw the top of the tent.

Sure enough, we lost.

Bai Lin came to this conclusion while lying on her very familiar bed. She tried to prop herself up but felt a collision on her head.

"…it hurts."

She covered her head, the sudden pain almost made her cry.

At this time, Katie Pelo came in with a small heater in her hands. Seeing Bai Lin covering her head, she hurried to her side and asked her to lie down again and not to force herself.

"It's so cold today, Katie." Bai Lin, curled up in the quilt, expressed his true thoughts.

Katie placed the heater next to Bai Lin, without looking at her, and picked up something from the cabinet, saying calmly:

"Well, that's probably because you're only wearing your underwear."

Oh, so that's how it is. Bai Lin thought so.

"Wow..." She almost cursed when she realized what was happening. She looked at Katie Pello with a blush on her face, and she was also smiling at her.

"What's wrong? It's not the first time I've seen it."

Katie Pello's tone was full of teasing, but Bai Lin was so flustered that he didn't hear it.

"No, no, no, no, nothing!"

"Haven't you touched it before?"

The whisper of the little devil.

"There's no need to say that again!"

Seeing that Bai Lin seemed a little excited, Katie couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. It's so cold today for another reason."

Chapter 36 Set off

"When I was competing with you just now, I called upon the magic crystals that we use to keep warm." Katie explained.

Although he didn't quite understand, Bai Lin nodded, "So that's how it is. Then it makes sense that he could unleash such a powerful magic to knock me down..."

"I'm not trying to discourage you, Bai Lin." Katie Pello interrupted.

"Ok?"

"I had prepared a complex spell, and there were still two stages left to be used. I didn't expect you to faint right away..."

???

So you are so awesome?

Bai Lin sighed deeply. It seemed her defeat wasn't unfair. It seemed Katie was much stronger than she'd expected. She'd previously thought she was only good at tactical planning, but now that she'd said it, it turned out her frontal firepower far exceeded her imagination.

but…

Seeing Bai Lin who seemed to be in deep thought, Katie sighed, "I know what you are thinking. Why wasn't I at the front line that night?"

Bai Lin nodded. She did have doubts about this.

"You've seen how the villagers treat me. So, I've never actually shown them my true magical abilities. Besides you, the only one who knows a little bit about me is the village chief."
