The Unveiling of the Extraordinary Maiden

The sounds of panicked footsteps in the hallway faded into the distance. Huang Xiu shook his head slightly.

A faint, imperceptible wry smile crossed his face.

“What is this? Some kind of protagonist moment from an anime? But if I transform, I’ll probably end up being the heroine instead.”

He chuckled at the thought.

“And honestly, this so-called reality anime is pretty terrible in every aspect!”

“Not even an audience when I try to show off… and getting powers comes at the cost of transforming. I’m such a fussy person, stuck in indecision, wanting everything, unable to make a choice. No charisma at all.”

“If this were an anime on some streaming site, it’d probably score below 6 out of 10!”

“But at this point, I can only hope this trashy anime really doesn’t have a male lead.”

Huang Xiu gave a thumbs-down and shouted, “Come on, you stupid pig-headed bastard! Let your grandpa enjoy showing off with my last two transformations!”

Since the youthful song of an ordinary boy was nearing its end, why not change the world and start a new tune?

Huang Xiu took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down as he stared at the end of the corridor.

The fluorescent lights flickered violently, casting huge, monstrous shadows that writhed across the hall.

A flood of tangible darkness seeped out from the stairwell, like flowing water.

“Here it comes!” Huang Xiu narrowed his eyes.

Even before the pig-headed monster arrived, the flickering lights and all-encompassing darkness had already filled the atmosphere with boundless terror.

Thud! Thud!

With footsteps as heavy as drumbeats, a large hand slowly emerged from the darkness and grabbed the iron door on the left side of the corridor, crushing it like tofu.

Then the pig-headed monster pulled itself up and stepped onto the floor.

Thick white steam snorted from its nostrils as its dull, cruel pupils slowly shifted.

Finally, its gaze settled on the other end of the hallway.

There stood a youth, as steady as a mountain, like a noble prince bathed in moonlight.

He had a feminine face and a slender figure.

Soft features that belonged to a girl, yet matched with a resolute, unyielding expression unique to a boy.

The blending of two different genders created a striking harmony.

“It’s a shame there’s no audience to watch me show off.” The young man shook his hand, his gaze cold. “But at least you can see it. That’s not bad.”

“Aaaahhh!” The pig-headed monster let out a shrill roar and charged forward.

It didn’t throw its gauge.

Despite its low intelligence, two misses had taught it that throwing the gauge was useless against this person.

“Oh, not running away but coming straight at me? How brave!”

As he spoke, Huang Xiu slowly opened his right hand, which he had been clenching tightly, revealing a plant remnant still coated with damp soil.

It was the small potted plant that Class 2-4 had cared for over two years, the spider plant he had watered for two years!

He had pulled it from the windowsill planter while the monster was still coming up.

With his left hand, he quickly slashed across his right palm.

Biting back the pain from the cut, Huang Xiu stepped forward, his expression cold. “Let me show you. One of my only two transformations!”

As he spoke, he hurled the spider plant like a baseball.

The clod-covered plant spun through the air, glowing with an eerie red light.

Before it had even crossed half the long corridor, the spider plant began to swell like a balloon, quickly growing to half a meter in size, filling the narrow hallway and thudding heavily to the floor.

Its long, drooping leaves shot up wildly, becoming as straight and sharp as swords, with a cold gleam running along their edges.

Anyone who saw it would have no doubt about the blades’ sharpness.

Bzzz! Bzzz!

The mutated spider plant started spinning rapidly, driving the sword-like leaves along with it.

The whole plant became a top studded with blades!

At the same time, the youth who had thrown the plant underwent a strange transformation.

His features softened further, losing all trace of masculinity.

Hair, once only a finger long, suddenly cascaded down like a waterfall, flowing behind her.

The boy had turned into a beautiful, lively young girl in an instant.

This was the new tune that had finally begun, the melody of the supernatural girl.

She pointed at the pig-headed monster and shouted, “Die, you pig-headed bastard! Go eat my mutated spider plant, the super spinning flying blade top!”

Huang Xiu made up the name on the spot, but it seemed to enrage the monster, which was still charging forward.

It suddenly stopped, its arm muscles bulging, and raised its gauge high above its shoulder. Then it swung at the rapidly approaching plant.

The silver gauge collided with the spinning plant. Sparks flew everywhere like metal being cut, accompanied by a loud, crisp explosion.

An invisible gale swept down both sides of the corridor, kicking up dust and trash along the way.

The soft strand of hair on Huang Xiu’s forehead was blown back, revealing clear, dark eyes.

Her expression unchanged, she waved her right hand. “Change!”

At her command, the spider plant’s leaves, stimulated by the psychic energy, turned into green spikes, stretching and thinning until they were several times longer, like countless needles on a sea urchin!

The pig-headed monster had no time to react.

The green spikes pierced through the gaps in the gauge and stabbed through its body in multiple places.

Black, foul-smelling blood dripped from the wounds, sizzling as it hit the ground.

“Roar!” The monster howled in pain.

The visible soundwave shattered the windows along the corridor one by one.

Glass fragments scattered everywhere, shimmering like a silver sea under the moonlight.

“I can break its defense, but its blood is corrosive, and it can use sonic attacks.”

Huang Xiu covered his ears with both hands, blood trickling through his fingers as she calmly analyzed the situation.

She had no combat experience, but fighting wasn’t that different from playing games.

Both were about using what you had to defeat the opponent.

Only by staying calm and analyzing could she find her own moment of victory.

“Relying on just one spider plant is too much!”

Huang Xiu waved her right hand. The spiky spider plant bounced back a few meters until it was in front of her.

This was the only plant she had right now.

She had to use it sparingly.

“I need to carry more plant seeds from now on!” Huang Xiu learned her lesson the hard way.

She wasn’t one to make the same mistake twice.

Just as she was about to command the mutated spider plant to attack again, something suddenly registered in her mind.

“It’s still alive? I didn’t expect that.”

Huang Xiu murmured to herself.

She hadn’t expected the cactus she had first mutated to still exist in the school, not yet dead.
