In this chapter, we are introduced to a young girl who has come to take a qualification exam for a job as a professional magician. She is fat and ugly, and she is afraid that she will be humiliated if she is seen staring at her. She begs the magician to help her, but he refuses, saying that she is a "little loli" and that he is interested only in becoming a "hoople spring charge" . He tells her that she should kill herself, because she will grow up to be fifteen in three months. She tells him that she came to take the exam because she needs money to buy a staff for her new job. The light from the staff casts "evil qi" , and the holiness of the light guides confusion. The girl tells the magician that she does not want to be humiliated in front of such a beautiful girl. She says that she did not think she would be able to meet such a high-level beauty, and that she underestimated the beauty's power. She fears that her reputation will be ruined.
