Chapter 112

"Then I'll do it..."

Seeing the black-haired girl, who seemed about to help him up, suddenly change her gentle expression and become serious, Soyo knew that the situation was not good.

Always understanding, she knew what was important and said, "I'm fine here, Senior Raiden, please go and protect the others first."

"Then please hold on for a while, I'll take care of them as soon as possible."

The black-haired girl's expression softened again, but before Soyo could reply, she transformed into lightning and disappeared before her eyes once more.

Despite wielding a wooden sword, anything touched by the high-temperature plasma melts as easily as butter. The cross-section of the sword, cut in two, is left with a golden glow, which then ignites with intense heat, turning to ashes before it even has a chance to dissipate into magic.

"Raiden... Raiden!?"

The young lady who was rescued was still shaken.

"Go to safety quickly, leave this to me."

The calm and crisp voice slightly calmed her panicked emotions. Despite her fear, the young lady didn't say much and ran towards the Valkyrie Department without looking back.

Lightning flashed across the campus at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. As the first batch of monsters were eliminated, the remaining monsters were cut down before they even had a chance to peek out. The young ladies who had been fleeing in panic realized that they seemed to be safe. Looking at the black-haired girl with a dignified demeanor who slowly sheathed her wooden sword at her waist, the young ladies who were already interested in her became even more excited.

So the Valkyrie are this powerful?

They were astonished, Valkyrie teachers were even more astonished. "What's going on? Is that something a human could do?"

She appears on the ground from the rooftop in an instant, and then instantly kills a monster, accompanied by blinding lightning. Is this really not Magical Girl?

While they were still in surprise, they suddenly felt the earth tremble.

"What's wrong now!?"

The Valkyrie teachers could still tell that the noise came from behind them. Could it be that the Great Robe Person had done something again?

As if in response to their thoughts, the laughter of the Great Robe Person echoed throughout the school again, though the laughter sounded somewhat gritted-teeth, "I didn't expect you to have figured out how to use that core, but to what extent can you utilize it? Since those small fry couldn't deal with you, what about this one?"

As she finished speaking, an even greater tremor made it difficult for the young ladies to maintain their balance. The tremor was comparable to an earthquake, yet there were no cracks in the ground.

Kiana! Step back!

The director immediately stood in front of Amber, looking around at the situation with suspicion and uncertainty.

She was certain there was something around, but... her eyes couldn't see it.

She was very concerned about what the Great Robe Person meant by "core". Judging from the situation just now, it should be referring to the unusual behavior of Mei. The reason why the Great Robe Person wanted to take Mei and Kiana away seemed to be because of Mei's unusual behavior, or rather... because of the "core" she mentioned.

Since the enemy wants it, there's even less reason to let them take it away. Not to mention that the other side is risking going against Schicksal to capture Kiana and Mei, which shows that the so-called core has the power to defy Schicksal.

Considering the unusual physical abilities of the two individuals, the director became even more certain of his guess.

That being said, we must first find a way to break through the current predicament.

"Don't underestimate me! I can fight too!"

Amber first stood next to the director, then raised the baseball bat towards the Great Robe Person in the Sky Manipulation: "You bastard, you'll have to get past me first if you want to hurt Mei!"

"You're her target too!"

Although I already knew that this white-haired guy cared a lot about that black-haired girl, and even often did embarrassingly absurd things in public, at this point, shouldn't he at least recognize his situation? "What you should do now is hide with Raiden Mei! Hold out until the Magical Girl comes to help!"

"Valkyrie's duty is not to abandon her comrades, didn't you just say that, teacher? Whether as Valkyrie or Kaslana, I cannot leave here."

"You..."

The director's words got stuck in his throat, and in the end he could only swallow them down.

"Nonsense."

The Great Robe Person commented disdainfully, "To be honest, I'm not that interested in you. I just wanted to take this opportunity to put a punch to Schicksal's arrogance. Since you're so eager to die, I'll grant your wish."

As she spoke, the ground trembled more and more violently, to the point that even these trained Valkyrie found it difficult to stand.

Then, in the blink of an eye, a pool of Black Mud spread to the size of half a playground. A disc-shaped giant mouth covered with sharp teeth burst out of the Black Mud. From the perspective of the two people, they could even see that the terrifying creature was covered with fangs. Just one look was enough to make their sanity drop wildly.

There's no escaping it!

The director was surprised that the other party could summon such a large monster at once; its mouth could even swallow half of their school building.

A dazzling flash of lightning streaked across the campus once more, and the two people who were just within the giant maw were now a hundred meters away.

"Mei!"

Only one person present was capable of doing such a thing.

"I'm late, Kiana."

The black-haired girl's expression and voice remained as gentle as ever, but a cold look appeared on her face as she looked at the Worm had once again burrowed into the ground.

"Wait! That's over there...!"

Amber's sudden exclamation drew the attention of the black-haired girl.

Although the three had left the attack range, the Worm's attack did not miss. Instead, it slammed into the school's teaching building. Despite it being just a physical collision, its enormous size still caused great damage.

Most importantly... that place is very close to Sakiko and Hemu's direction. Although they won't collide, it's not impossible for some unexpected event to occur.

Fortunately, as the smoke and dust cleared, the two girls were revealed to be safe and sound.

Half of the rooftop had collapsed, and the other side was also tilted due to the damage to the supporting pillars. Fortunately, Sakiko managed to pull Mu along and they grabbed onto a chair on the rooftop, so neither of them was in any danger.

"You're really going all out, but how many more times can you do that? Do you think using magic as a human is without consequences?"

The Great Robe Person had a confident expression on his face, as if he had already secured victory.

——

Chapter Twenty: Director: Oh no, am I going to be a burden?

Amber actually had a lot to complain about, but somehow she could figure out what was going on.

This Evil Organization, or rather this strange man in the overcoat, looks more and more like a 'newbie NPC'—the kind of character who appears when a player first enters the game and is told 'what we're going to do next', 'where you're from,' and so on.

Especially since she fought for so long but didn't kill a single person, it felt even more like a 'script'.

The source of this script's déjà vu lies in the word 'core,' and the only person in the world who knows this core is herself.

What kind of work is this?

I don't know the content or direction of the script. Am I supposed to improvise or what? Is there any plan or foreshadowing for Black Amber?

Amber was somewhat unsure of what to do, originally wanted to observe the situation quietly, but now she couldn't bear it any longer. Even if it was just a script, it was already threatening her friends.

She looked again at the black-haired girl beside her.

"As she said, I can't maintain this state for too long."

Seeing the urgency in her eyes, Black Amber, who had already laid the groundwork, said, "Compared to those officers who fight head-on, she stays in mid-air and keeps summoning monsters to fight, which is like completely exposing her weaknesses."

"In other words, her direct combat ability is insufficient."

"That's the only way to put it now."

The black-haired girl nodded. "And although she seems to have the victory in her grasp, neither at the beginning nor now has she let that huge monster finish the battle so easily. I don't think it's out of a mindset of toying with the prey. Perhaps she can't summon that monster so casually."

This idea makes sense; only the leaders of those Evil Organization can summon such monsters at will.

"I understand! Then I'll take care of her this time!"

The two girls' rapid exchange caught the attention of the director standing nearby. Despite being just two high school girls, they acted like comrades who had worked together many times before, which was quite incongruous with their appearance.

However... I originally thought this white-haired girl was someone whose judgment would be affected by personal feelings, but at this moment she didn't care about the black-haired girl she always cared about, but instead used the belief of 'solving it once and for all' as a substitute... She's much more mature than I imagined.

Raiden Mei's voice was colder and harder than ever before, as if she was suppressing something. Although the director didn't know what she was suppressing, he guessed that "she wouldn't be able to hold on for long" was probably a polite way of putting it.

How can I help?

With the intention of easing the burden on the two of them, she spoke up.

"We need an opportunity to get close to her."

Black Amber didn't mince words. "Although I can get close to her directly, that's the limit of what I can control."

What are your plans?

The director simply asked as well.

Seemingly wanting the black-haired girl to conserve some energy, Amber explained on her behalf, "That giant monster will emerge from the ground when it attacks. Using its enormous size as a springboard, we can close the distance in one go."

Indeed, if you jump directly from a building, the opponent will definitely be on guard. Using the opponent's summoned creatures for a surprise attack is a very effective tactic, but...

"..."

This plan left the director somewhat speechless, because in her judgment, without armor, she wouldn't even be able to jump onto the monster's head, let alone dodge it as much as possible. It seemed that she really couldn't be of any help.

Her silence drew a glance from the two men, who also noticed her embarrassment.

"Our friends are in some danger right now, so they asked the teacher to take care of them."

Amber was naturally referring to Sakiko and Hemu upstairs.

"I see."

The director nodded, then ran towards the teaching building.

The Great Robe Person didn't care about the bystanders leaving. As time passed, the ground shook again, a phenomenon identical to the one before, indicating that the giant monster was ready to attack once more.

"The opportunity lies in its next attack."

"Um!"

Faced with an attack that had already been carried out once, the two were intently watching their surroundings.

The tremors grew increasingly intense, and the Black Mud spread once again in an instant. The two men tensed up, observing the direction from which the Worm had appeared.

However, this time the Worm did not appear from the front or back, but leaped straight out from under their feet.

Fortunately, neither of them reacted like ordinary people. The moment the teeth appeared at the edge, they had already jumped to the edge of the giant mouth. With the huge upward thrust of the giant mouth, their bodies were thrown into the air, much higher than the Great Robe Person.

"What!?"

The Great Robe Person clearly hadn't anticipated this situation, but she remained calm and composed, considering that the two of them were practically dead anyway.

With no way to gain leverage in the air, the way the Worm appeared, though coincidental, pushed the plan into its most difficult situation. As time went on, the two would fall straight into the Worm's mouth. The director, who had just run to the rooftop, immediately planned to break the window and jump out, using his own strength to push the two out of the giant mouth.

But the two people in the air were much calmer than her.

The black-haired girl grabbed the white-haired girl's wrist, and blue and white lightning crackled across her arm. With the help of the steel bars of the school building and her control over magnetism, she gained the ability to throw people into the air. As her body spun, the immense force sent Amber flying directly toward the Great Robe Person not far away.

Upon seeing this, the black-haired girl increased the magnetic pull, and her entire body quickly flew towards the teaching building. After easily adjusting her posture, she smashed the window and fell into the building.

But to ensure the plan went perfectly, she didn't stop there, and instead ran towards the Great Robe Person inside the building.

The Great Robe Person realized something was wrong. When she tried to back away, she found that the yellow and black baseball bat was already close to her face. The huge force slammed into her face, and she was immediately overwhelmed by dizziness and lightheadedness. She couldn't even maintain her flight and fell straight to the ground with the force of the impact.

Even Director Lian was caught off guard by the series of changes, his body still in the position of clinging to the window as if about to jump, until the white-haired man landed on the ground right after the Great Robe Person, and only then did he realize what had happened.

The director chose to go to the Great Robe Person immediately or to protect their friends first.

These two work together very well; they don't seem like people their age at all. Even if the problem isn't solved, my presence might just make things worse.

The director sighed, remembering that he had just tried to jump out of the window to save someone.

Chapter Twenty-One.

As the culprit was knocked to the ground, the darkness in the sky slowly disappeared, and several Magical Girl dressed in different outfits immediately landed, looking at the scene with confusion.

It seems like it's already been resolved? Who resolved it? Are there any other Magical Girl at this school?

As they were thinking this, they noticed the only the Great Robe Person, and a white-haired girl holding a baseball bat next to her.

"Are you Kiana?"

The Magical Girl recognized him at a glance. After all, he had been frequently used by the media to generate traffic these past few days, so even people who didn't pay much attention to him could spot him.

As kind and upright Magical Girl, they don't care much about popularity or competition; they only care about whether anyone gets hurt and how this Evil Organization's executive was defeated.

After receiving a brief account of the events, the group of brightly colored girls unsurprisingly looked on in surprise. "They weren't wearing armor, and they didn't have any weapons or support. How could just two people defeat such a powerful officer?"

The director had already safely brought Sakiko and Mu to their destination. Seeing the commotion, he walked over and said, "Thank you for your support, Magical Rainbow. This cadre will be taken over by Schicksal. Kiana and Mei have just gone through a battle and are both exhausted. I'll take them to rest."

Where is Mei?

The director wasn't surprised that the white-haired man asked about Mei right away, "I just saw her in the teaching building. She's resting and won't be down for a while."

In fact, she had many questions and curiosities about the so-called core, but she didn't have time to ask because of the emergency at the time, and it was inconvenient to ask now that there were outsiders like the Magical Girl around.
