Chapter 499 - Video (8)

"Magical girl Rika, can you answer this question on the screen?" My teacher stood in front of my desk.

"Magical girl Rika is a normal girl during the daytime. She's thinking of retiring soon," I shook my head.​​

"It's against the law to overwork magical girls," I added when the teacher continued to focus on me.

I didn't think the video would become popular in school. After a day the video was leaked, I gasped when the total views counted to more than one hundred thousand. Whenever I walked in the hallways, everyone was comparing me in real life compared to the person in the video. All the teachers referred to me as magical girl Rika when they picked on me to answer a question. Why was the world so harsh towards magical girls?

"This will be hard to cover," Charles turned to Luke after class ended.

"I think everyone in school has seen the video by now," he glared at me.

"It's just a video," I found them taking this too seriously.

"Like what's the worst that could happen?" I didn't mind the video spreading.

We were interrupted when a few people knocked on the classroom door. Since I was closest to the door, I opened it to find my underclassmen holding a pen and paper. Their eyes glittered as they gazed at me, full of anticipation, "can we please get an autograph from magical girl Rika?"

I momentarily froze, not expecting to have fans. With their expectant eyes, I quickly switched into magical girl Rika. Sending them some hearts in my new pose, I brightly smiled to provide some fan service. I signed the paper while making my voice sound cuter, "magical girl Rika thanks you for your support!"

"Can we take some pictures?" A girl blurted.

"Please refrain from taking pictures," Luke interrupted us.

My fans became downcast as Luke chased them away from our classroom. It wasn't like I couldn't understand them, finding a cute magical girl to adore in front of their eyes. I would do the same if I were them, chasing the magical girl around to take more pictures. I started to become a bit depressed, wanting someone to provide the same fan service for me.

"There's already people looking for her," Charles blamed me for everything.

"You even have a fan page," Shelly gasped.

"Wait, seriously?" I looked at the school website.

My eyes widened when I found I had a fan club from the video. I didn't think things would escalate this fast. Alex's eyes narrowed as he read all the comments and postings on my fan page. I was impressed by the creator who picked the best shots of me to write about. It went through the details to what I wore to where the same staff could be brought. My jaw almost dropped when I realized the dress that I wore that day cost around 380,000 Aris.

All the random accessories that I picked amounted to over several million Aris. I started to look at all the dangling bracelets and hair clips I was forced to wear today in a new light. I wanted to pull them out and give it back to Luke. With the new information, I began to blame Luke for making me wear them all the time. He was the one making me a perfect target for anybody who wanted to grab someone off the streets to get some ransom out of them.

"Don't pull them out Rika," Luke noticed me about to take a hair clip out.

"You're not the one wearing them," I took all my hair accessories out.

"And these bracelets, rings and earrings," I placed them all on my desk.

Gathering them all together in one place, I was surprised to find them amounting to a small pile. Even Shelly couldn't stop staring at my desk, wondering if I really wore this much every day. I never paid attention to Luke helping me get ready for school, always half-asleep before getting pushed out of the room. Luke sighed before he began to put the accessories back on its original place, "I told you these have something to do with your health."

"They're spelled to help you," he quickly made the pile disappear.

"If you take them off one more time, I'll have to put on stronger ones you can't touch," he warned me.

"But they're annoying," I frowned.

"You only wear a watch and a single ring," I pointed out.

"And who got another fever last week from stuffing herself with icecream for dinner?" Alex argued.

"That was only one time!" I defended myself.

"Who stuffs themselves with icecream for dinner?" Charles sneered.

Not thinking much about the fan page, I forgot about it as time passed by. There had to be hidden fan pages of other people too, it was just that they didn't know about it. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if there was one for Luke. And the magical girl video had to die down someday.

Sienna shook my shoulder while I was inside a headgear playing a game. I wondered why she had some fear in her eyes, trying to show me something on her screen. I gasped when I found some pictures of me uploaded onto the fan page. How did they take the pictures? The dorm room could only be opened by me and Luke.
