Transform into a magical girl after getting off work
Chapter 608 - 166 The Thigh Ranking

Don't argue with people you can't communicate with, don't try to change their established truths.

This is a principle taught to Tu Dinggui by her mentor, and although Tu Dinggui didn't fully understand its meaning, it didn't stop her from trusting her mentor and acting accordingly.

Moreover, for Magical Girls in Central City, her roommate's "admiration of strength" might not be a bad thing.

Simply because Central City truly has powerful Magical Girls.

As a center of technology, production, and culture for human society, Central City not only surpasses ordinary cities in population, but also boasts a larger squad of Magical Girls. Typically, a city only requires less than ten—a single digit number—of Magical Girls to ensure safety, while smaller ones can even manage with three to five. However, in Central City, to patrol a larger urban area and protect a denser population, squads often comprise over ten, even more than twenty members.

Not only do they exceed ordinary cities in numbers, but in the Kaihua phase, every Central City guarantees at least one Magical Girl in the squad who can be called a "Strong Flower," with strategically important cities even having a Flower Card stationed.

So, perhaps her roommate, within the Central City Magical Girl squad setup, would act like a well-behaved girl in front of the squad Captain?

While idly pondering this in her mind, Tu Dinggui slowly scrubbed her scalp with shampoo-laden hands. The moisture on her skin brought a refreshing chill, clearing her head that had become sluggish from reading for too long.

Better not to think of these random musings, but instead combine the contents of the book and adjust the arrangement of Instant Spells for the practical exam.

She contemplated.

Participating in the examination these days, Tu Dinggui was carrying her family's expectations and her squad's hopes, here on a mission. If possible, her goal was to be number one in the White Card examination.

In fact, if judged purely by strength, Tu Dinggui is even capable of participating in the word plate examination above her level, and given the difficulty of the word plate examination in previous years, her chances of passing are not small.

The reason she didn't take the word plate examination above her level and instead honestly started with the White Card is because this year is Queen's Year, and the Queen of the Magic Kingdom will be observing.

For an exam where the Queen personally observes, being "number one in the White Card examination" is undoubtedly far more impressive than just "pass the word plate examination."

Tu Dinggui herself didn't care much about the distinction, even thinking that becoming a word plate sooner could allow for earlier participation in higher-level Remnant Beasts battles, which would be beneficial for improving her strength. But her family and her squad's seniors and juniors all seemed to greatly wish for her to become that "number one."

Tu Dinggui wanted to meet their expectations, so she chose to enroll in the White Card examination.

She initially thought this choice would make the exam she participated in much less suspenseful this time, but in fact, as she arrived at the Kingdom and began interacting with more candidates of the same year, she discovered this year's White Card examination might be far from as simple as she imagined.

In truth, many Magical Girls shared her mindset, believing it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Some even had the capability to join the White Card examination in previous years, but delayed it for several years before coming to the Kingdom.

With such candidates existing, undoubtedly the competitive pressure for this year's examination will far exceed that of previous years; not only because these participants waited until this year, bringing skills far beyond a normal candidate, but also because their absence in previous exams meant a lack of strong contenders in those years. Due to this, the competitive tension between this and last year's exams could be measured in multiple factors.

This year, many same-age candidates came to the Kingdom to participate in the examination. Growing up in an age of developed information, these Magical Girls are more skilled in using social media. Most candidates have somewhat joined groups that gather peers, and recently, someone has ranked the strongest Magical Girls of this year on the "Thigh List" within those groups.

Of course, the Thigh List doesn't actually comment on these girls' thighs, but rather it's about which Magical Girls deserve to be clung to in the practical examination. Essentially, this list summarizes and ranks the "well-known powerhouses" among this year's candidates.

During lunch break, Tu Dinggui's roommate revealed the list's existence to her. Driven by curiosity, Tu Dinggui confirmed the list's contents.

Not many names are on it, barely thirty or forty aliases are listed, and the editor modestly claims there may be omissions, stating it's for reference only. Among the names, Tu Dinggui saw several familiar ones, including a few who had participated in the Central City joint newbie competition with her.

Naturally, her roommate—the Magical Girl codenamed Mint—was listed on this list, though not high-ranked, only thirty-first, but nonetheless an acknowledged "thigh" among this year's candidates.

No wonder she'd proactively told Tu Dinggui about the list's existence, merely wanting to show off—human nature, understandable.

Besides her roommate Mint and those who participated in the newbie competition with Tu Dinggui, the list includes several already famous Magical Girl "predecessors." While seeing their names on the list could prompt reactions like "How is she not a White Card yet? I thought she'd be taking the word plate exam."

Further down, there are those whom even Tu Dinggui barely knows, or has never heard of. Surely, they're some who had not showcased earlier but intend to shine in this examination.

From the bottom to the top of the list, Tu Dinggui ultimately found her alias at the fifth position.

If she had seen this list before arriving at the Magic Kingdom, Tu Dinggui might have been surprised by the result. But now, being lower than the first place didn't cause any emotional stir.

However, as her gaze passed over the names above hers, Tu Dinggui's mind unexpectedly flashed an image.

It was of the young girl she met on the way to the Kingdom on the Kingdom's express train.

That child's identification stated she was only ten, seeming even younger from appearance, her pitiful look reminded Tu Dinggui of her sister, evoking a certain fondness.

Nonetheless, deep within her heart was some peculiar impression.

Specifically, upon first seeing the girl, Tu Dinggui inexplicably thought of her mentor—Blue Star.

Perhaps it was just an illusion.

Tu Dinggui couldn't help but think so.

Afterwards, she no longer thought much about the girl and started focusing on formulating the practical examination strategy.
