Chapter 10: Whoa~ Being a Girl is Awesome~
(Revised)
(The original text contains no suggestive content, trust me.)
"How do you feel?"
"Whoa~ I feel great. I could probably run a marathon right now," I said, stretching my body to confirm everything was in working order.
Bai Yu sat on a nearby bench, watching the young girl before her with a complicated look in her eyes.
From behind, she could still see traces of the boy from before. But now, the hair was longer, the chest was slightly curved, and there was...
In short, this was a development she had never imagined. None of the issues she had been worrying about seemed to have happened.
It was as if the youth had accepted everything wholesale, acknowledging the reality of becoming a girl. There was even an undisguised hint of excitement in the way she spoke.
She was even cracking jokes with a perfectly straight face.
Meanwhile, I was busy reveling in the sensations of my new body.
Although the process of inserting the Mana Source into my body had been painful, Senior Sister Bai Yu had knocked me out quickly. I hadn't felt much of the pain from the procedure itself or the subsequent physical reconstruction.
Waking up again, there was only a lingering soreness.
After moving around a bit, even that was fading.
As for my uninhibited behavior, I’d made my peace with it. After all, only Sister Bai Yu was here. There was no harm in being open with her, right?
She was a sister I trusted, even more than a biological one.
Naturally, I wouldn't hide things from her. My previous resistance was just the lingering modesty of being a boy. Now, things were different.
I!
Have finally become a girl!
It really is quite nice. Though I’m not entirely used to it yet—the long hair draping over my back and the stray strands on my forehead tickling my face in the breeze are a bit annoying.
The traits unique to boys are now a thing of the past. However, since we’re still in a public place—even if there’s no one else around—I can’t exactly "test the waters" down there while Sister Bai is watching, can I?
My only regret was that my chest wasn't particularly "towering." There were some curves, but there wasn't much of a "cushioning effect" when I patted my chest. It seemed this so-called Witchification hadn't reached a state of immediate perfection. I was a little disappointed, but mostly satisfied.
"What? Starting to worry about your development already?" Bai Yu adjusted her mindset, trying to keep up with Xiao Han’s pace. It turned out her earlier worries had been entirely unnecessary.
But Xiao Han as a girl was quite cute; she couldn't help but want to tease her a little. "I've heard that 'interacting' with that area frequently with your hands helps with growth~"
"Really?"
A glint flashed in my eyes, and my hands even started to move instinctively. But realizing how I must look, I stopped awkwardly. "Uh, that... haha, I just wanted to try. Just a try."
"It's fine. But you're a girl now, so you need to watch your behavior. Don't do things like that in public again!"
"Oh, got it!" I immediately gave her an 'OK' gesture. "I'll try it when no one's around next time!"
"Alright, stop being a smart-mouth. Since everything went smoothly, we need to finish the rest of the process." Bai Yu suddenly grabbed my wrist. This time, she could clearly feel the difference. It was no longer like before; the skin was soft and delicate. The tactile sensation was so fine it felt almost addictive.
Bai Yu was well aware that after being a Witch for so long, her sexual orientation had become a growing concern. She had been avoiding the issue, and by maintaining a relationship with me while I was still a boy, she had hoped to remind herself what it felt like to be with the opposite sex.
But she realized it hadn't worked. The more they spent time together, the more their relationship felt like brothers—pure friendship.
And now, that love-starved boy had become this lively girl. Her appearance was practically tailor-made for Bai Yu's aesthetic.
I really want to make her mine...
At that moment, Bai Yu realized with startling clarity that their friendship had begun to ferment into something else.
"Sister Bai~ what are we doing next?"
I leaned in close to her as I usually did. It seemed that after becoming a girl, the barriers and boundaries I used to maintain had vanished. Even the physical distance between us had shrunk.
I wondered if I counted as Sister Bai's bestie now?
"Next, we have to... go get your measurements for your school uniform, then register your identity to get your student card." Bai Yu looked at the Xiao Han who was now closer than ever, her heart fluttering at that sweet "Sister Bai."
She had never felt this way before. In her previous limited interactions with Xiao Han, she could always sense a faint distance, as if he were deliberately keeping her at arm's length just as she was doing to him. But now, it was different.
It really... was different.
"School uniform? Does the Witch Academy have a mandatory uniform?" I was curious. In my stereotypical view, uniforms were synonymous with being mediocre, plain, and a "beauty-killer." I wondered if the atmosphere at the Witch Academy would be more liberal.
It would be great if there were skirts. I really wanted to get a set of skirts to experience the joy of being a girl.
Unfortunately, I didn't have much money. My luggage only contained a few sets of cheap men's clothes. But I believed life would get better.
After all, being passionate about life and finding joy in it is the prerequisite for hard work. I just hoped the grind of life wouldn't wear down my spirit too quickly.
"The academy-issued uniform is a basic piece of magical equipment. Wearing it isn't strictly mandatory, but it's the easiest alchemical item for freshmen to obtain without any cost. More importantly, once you put it on, others will immediately know you're a student of the Witch Academy," Bai Yu explained patiently. After all, the uniform usually accompanied freshmen through their most difficult early period.
Soon, the Senior Sister led me to the place where uniforms were custom-made. A few freshmen were already lining up, chattering away excitedly. They all looked like girls. I wondered if there were any boys like me who were looking forward to becoming girls and blending in?
Actually, people like that would probably be considered perverts. Thinking about it that way... wasn't I basically the same?
I should try my best to fit in. I didn't know what the status of a male-turned-Witch was in the academy, or if it would be awkward.
Would I be isolated?
I didn't know, but I figured as long as I hid it well, who would look that closely?
My arrival didn't cause much of a stir. After all, I was a girl just like them now. It was just that my cheap clothes looked a bit out of place, causing some of the girls to glance over and whisper.
It was a pity; I didn't have any other clothes suitable for my current self. The men's clothes were a bit ill-fitting now. But since this was the place to get a uniform, there was no need to worry too much.
I'd have well-fitting clothes eventually. Although I didn't know much about girls' fashion, I had Sister Bai! She probably knew a lot about it!
At worst, I could just be her dress-up doll and let her style me however she wanted. Of course, I'd have to pay for the new clothes myself, so that plan would have to wait until I had some money.
I wondered what I’d look like once I "developed" more and had some money.
Suddenly, I was quite looking forward to it.
