Chapter 136
However, she didn't ask any further questions, and the corridor fell silent once again.
"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever met a complex and eccentric Monster."
"As for why you know me, let me figure that out later..."
She waved again.
Darkness surged forth like a tide, engulfing the Hummingbird Monster. It didn't even have a chance to flap its Hummingbird Monster or struggle before being swallowed up in the shadows.
She quickly looked at the unconscious Takanashi Shiori.
A wing gently lifted the Takanashi, enveloping half of her body like an embrace:
"There shouldn't be any worries about that side, right?"
Haihara was referring to the venue.
There were also two new Magic Power auras there, which would be somewhat overwhelming for Silver Feather and Star Flower.
However, theoretically speaking, there is... another Magic girl there.
Meanwhile, in the center of the hall, the situation had reversed.
Just as the two Magic girls were about to defeat the Moth Monster, two completely new Monster, whose attributes they had never seen before and could not identify, appeared.
What started as a two-on-one situation has now become a two-on-three situation.
Undoubtedly, Magical Girl Silver Feather and Star Flower are locked in a fierce battle.
Even without transforming into the Magic girl Fate Kite, the two of them couldn't simultaneously deal with three top-tier mature-stage Monster.
The scene quickly descended into chaos.
What's even more troublesome is that, for some unknown reason, the Moth Monster, who was originally on the verge of death, began to have its aura constantly growing. At first, it only recovered its physical strength and Magic Power, but later it even surpassed Silver Feather's current strength.
It's as if the Moth Monster's power is constantly rising, moving towards another level.
Suddenly, the Moth Monster's annoying laughter echoed through the hall.
"Kukuku... I feel it! Today, I will ascend to my Perfect Form!"
Its tattered wings spread out behind it, and after saying these words, it dispersed the mist mixed with pollen.
A surging tide of Magic Power pressed down with the mist, forcing Silver Feather and Star Flower to temporarily raise their arms to shield themselves. This terrifying power seemed to be accompanied by a fierce wind...
Magical Girl Silver Feather paused for a moment:
"Perfect Form?"
Is this Monster about to evolve from its Mature Form to its Perfect Form?
Without further hesitation, Silver Feather took out the two Crystal that would transform him into the Fate Kite, which consumed a great deal of physical and Magic Power.
At the same time, the Moth Monster flapped its wings once again.
This time, a mist made of pollen spread rapidly with the flapping of wings, engulfing the Magic girls' vision at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive.
There's no doubt that the Moth Monster is trying to disrupt the Magic girls' vision.
White threads emerged from the mist, coiling around the Moth Monster like a mummy. The only thing it didn't touch was the mask, which was even colder and paler than the threads.
Next, these threads will be wrapped around it to form a cocoon.
When it breaks free from its cocoon and is reborn, it will ascend to its true, Perfect Form.
Just before the fog was about to engulf all vision, Silver Feather loaded two Transformation Magic Crystal and charged forward.
" --Magic girl, Fate Kite!"
Flames rose from the mist, still as brilliant and dazzling as ever.
However, just as he was about to charge at the evolving Moth Monster, intending to quickly defeat it, attacks from two other Monster came and blocked Fate Kite.
Then, a magical Magic Power no less powerful than that of the Magic girl Fate Kite burst forth from the center of the smoke, forcing Fate Kite, who was simultaneously dealing with three attacks, to temporarily halt her advance.
The fog will inevitably engulf all vision in the next moment.
What no one noticed was that there was actually another person in a corner of the hall.
--She was a tall, slender girl with black hair. She gently rolled up her long sleeves and hid something inside.
No one saw what she did; the fog swallowed everything, making everything blurry and indistinct.
"Oh no..."
Fate Kite sensed that the aura of the being at the center of the mist was growing increasingly powerful.
Perhaps before this fog completely dissipates, that Moth Monster will advance to its Perfect Form.
Moreover, there are two other Mature Form Monster.
From within the mist, the eerie and chilling voices of two Monster echoed—
"All Magic girls... annihilate..."
"Kill... the teacher... the student... everyone..."
Upon hearing these words, Fate Kite's expression instantly turned icy cold.
She had to quickly dispel this fog and stop the Moth Monster.
However, suddenly...
Fate Kite felt a gust of wind sweep in front of her.
The speed was unimaginable; even in its Fate Kite form, it was impossible to catch it. One could only barely sense the speed with which it passed by.
From within the mist, the Monster voice echoed once more:
"This Magic Power aura... is... disappearing---"
It was the voice of that fish-shaped Monster, deep and muffled. This Monster's abilities were exceptionally difficult to deal with; its body was covered in slippery liquid, so ordinary punches couldn't even cause any damage, and even ordinary Magic Power blades could hardly cut through its thick skin.
But then, the Monster's voice abruptly stopped—
"--Whoosh!"
It seemed to be the sound of the wind.
The place where the Monster had been stood fell silent in an instant.
Fate Kite had no idea what was happening.
In the fog, all her senses seemed confused, and she couldn't be sure if she was hallucinating.
But she did seem to hear it.
It sounded like a lifeline being snapped...
However, this is not the end.
"---Whoosh!"
Another gust of wind blew.
This time, the location was that mantis-shaped Monster with extremely terrifying strength and attack methods.
However, this time it didn't even have time to make a sound before it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Everything happened far too fast.
This led Fate Kite to suspect that these enemies might be hiding in some way she couldn't understand.
She wasn't the only one who noticed something was wrong.
In the center of the mist, the Monster on the verge of reaching its Perfect Form seemed to sense an unusual Magic Power aura.
Filled with immense power, the Moth Monster was almost out of control. Even though the sudden Magic Power seemed familiar, it didn't think about it at all. It simply opened its arms and used its brute force to break free from the Magic Power threads.
It tore at the threads with abandon, making a huge noise, while laughing loudly:
"This is the power of the Perfect Form... I have obtained the strongest power! Kukuku! No Magic girl can stop me now!"
"In that case, mere Magic girls! Forget you, even the former Phantom Wind will be defeated by me—"
The Moth Monster's overwhelming Magic Power, which crushed all Mature Form Monster, exuded a terrifying pressure, like a dark cloud shrouding the hall.
However, everything seemed unchanged...
"--Whoosh!"
The Moth Monster's words fell silent.
It looked as if it had been cut in half at the waist.
Without causing any ripples, it was like a kite whose string had been cut; the kite floated lightly into the sky.
From the emergence of the mist to the abrupt end of the Moth Monster's words.
Everything happened in just a few words, and the distance between them was only a few breaths.
But after a few breaths, everything fell silent.
That immense, oppressive Magic Power vanished in an instant.
After that, there was no further sound.
Moth Monster's Magic Power disappeared, the mist that shrouded the hall also dissipated.
The first thing Fate Kite saw was Star Flower, a Magic girl who, like herself, was completely clueless about everything.
What happened next left them both almost frozen in place.
What came into view were the bodies of fish-shaped Monster and mantis Monster, resembling pieces of a rag doll shredded by scissors.
The fish-shaped Monster's thick belly was neatly and smoothly sliced open, and large amounts of black blood and mucus flowed out.
The mantis Monster fared even worse.
It was cut in half at the waist, and its two arms, which were Scythe, were carelessly torn off and thrown on the ground.
The two Monsters had caused so much trouble for the two Magic girls suddenly turned into lifeless fragments lying on the ground in less than a minute.
"..."
And in the center of the hall...
That was a cocoon that had already shattered.
The Moth Monster has undoubtedly completed its ascension.
Its body became completely different from before.
The wings became as gorgeous as butterflies, and the original damage disappeared.
Its body is covered with pure white feathers, faintly shimmering with iridescent colors.
However, before it could even emerge from its cocoon, its chest was pierced inside.
The Perfect Form Crystal inside had fallen to the ground, seemingly discarded carelessly.
"Who... did this?"
The Magic girl, Fate Kite, couldn't help but mutter to herself.
The two Magic girls, Fate Kite and Star Flower, did not see the person who started all of this.
That person arrived like the wind, sweeping everything away without anyone being able to touch them, and vanished in an instant.
Only a few marks, as if cut by a giant blade, remained in the hall, along with the aura of Wind System Magic Power that seemed to be telling a story.
Chapter Seventy-Two: The First Day of School
Due to the large-scale occurrence of Monster incidents, the opening ceremony for the senior year had to be canceled. Due to the tight academic schedule, the ceremony was not held again after the Monster were dealt with, and only the Student Council's speech was included.
The first year of high school will continue as usual.
The first day of school wasn't particularly demanding. In fact, the whole day would be filled with teachers chatting and students studying, making it easy for both. The only one who would be exhausted was Haihara, the homeroom teacher.
Even after the Monster incident, she still had to hold the class meeting as usual.
This morning, Teacher Haiyuan maintained a low-pressure and decadent temperament as always:
"Everyone, how was your holiday? But starting this semester, we need to consider class placement. If you want to move up to the honors class or the arts class, you should start thinking and preparing now."
