But being this underhanded is just like you! Otherwise, you wouldn't be worth all the effort I put into defeating you! They're just outside help—do you think I don't have any?

Judgment pulled out a card in midair, but before she could summon anything, Papi's somewhat anxious and angry voice rang out in her mind—

"Stop! Have you gone insane?!"

Papi shouted, "You want to summon the Demon Cave Broodmother in the middle of the city? I don't remember giving you permission to do that—"

"To defeat the Monster Leader, I'll naturally use every means available."

The executioner girl replied without caring in the slightest, "More importantly, why are you stopping me, Lord Papi? It's one thing that you refused to act as bait, but now you're going to interfere with my tactics too?"

"What kind of joke is this?! Do you know how much damage that thing will cause if you summon it—"

"It'll damage the Magical Girls' reputation? It's fine. Who would know a Magical Girl did it? I can just say the Monster Leader did it—"

Before she could finish, an immense gravity pressed down on her. Because of Papi's interference, she hadn't inserted the card in time and missed the best chance to summon a Magical Beast!

Lord Papi... so useless and meddlesome.

Thinking that, Judgment glared fiercely at Bai Yu's clone on the windowsill, which was using Gravity Magic on her. Her body fell once more...

Compared to the intense battle outside, Meng Yue's situation was relatively calm. She merely reached out, snapped the fingers of the forty-year-old curly-haired woman in front of her, and listened to her cries of pain with delight.

"Ah!!!"

The woman screamed, while Meng Yue asked with a pleased expression, "Teacher Zhu, how was that? Did you feel even a little pain?"

"But this kind of pain isn't even one percent of what I went through!"

Grabbing the woman by the hair, the temperamental Miss Meng Yue said coldly, "You helped the wicked bully others, encouraged the whole class to give me the cold shoulder, and yet you still got promoted to dean and lived well. Even if I killed you now... it would feel like you got off easy!"

"Does it hurt too much to speak? But I still don't think it's enough!"

Staring at the woman's pain-twisted face, Meng Yue said softly, "Perfect timing to try out my new ability. Now then, properly experience what I've prepared for you—"

"This is bad!"

However, Bai Yu, who had been sitting motionlessly beside them... though his right hand had been absorbing negative energy, suddenly opened his eyes. Clearly, his attention had returned from his clone outside.

"What's wrong, Master?"

Tilting her head, Meng Yue giggled. "Come to think of it, if Master could multitask, you'd be able to control both your main body and clone at the same time! You can't even do something that simple~~~ Master, honestly—"

"You're asking to get railed again, aren't you?"

Bai Yu looked at Meng Yue speechlessly and symbolically took out the remote. This little cat girl always loved mouthing off to him so arrogantly, only to be punished until she went "meow, meow"...

"So I'm not allowed to tell the truth?"

Pouting, Meng Yue swiftly changed the subject. "Master, did something happen outside?"

"Meng Yue... under what circumstances do you think a Magical Girl would use a cannon to bombard a building?"

"Use a cannon... to bombard a building?"

Blinking, Meng Yue poked her cheek as she thought. "When it's full of monsters? Though under normal circumstances, they wouldn't cause that much destruction in the city..."

PS: Fully recovered! This update counts as yesterday's, and there'll be six more after this!

Volume One: Meng Yue's Illusion

"Is that so?"

Hearing that, Bai Yu couldn't help laughing. "I never expected that girl to do something like this just to make things difficult for me. This way of expressing herself by having her mind filled with me is kind of interesting too~~~"

Although he had indeed been startled just now... compared to me merely being startled a little, I know someone else is suffering far more than I am right now!

"I'd like to see just how far she'll go for me!"

As he spoke, Bai Yu casually chopped off one of his arms again. The arm then transformed back into a clone under his control...

"Let me go! I'm begging you—how did I offend you two?!"

Just then, the curly-haired woman tied to the chair seemed to have recovered from the pain and began pleading loudly with Meng Yue! From her perspective, she really was innocent. Early in the morning, two monsters had suddenly broken into her home and tortured her half to death, but she had never done anything to offend any monsters!

And those useless Magical Girls! They still haven't managed to rescue me! Back when Meng Yue was around, rescue missions always went smoothly. Ever since Meng Yue disappeared, all the Magical Girls have become worthless trash!!

Furious and resentful, the woman actually vented all her pain and hatred onto the Magical Girls! Meng Yue, however, had no interest in what her former homeroom teacher thought. She raised a cat paw and drove a sharp claw into the woman's arm—

"Ah!"

With a short cry, the curly-haired woman's pupils shrank slightly... then, scenes from her daily life appeared before her eyes.

The unbroken front door, neatly arranged furniture, and the two monsters who had vanished before her eyes—it was as if everything that had happened that morning had been nothing but an illusion!

"So... it was all an illusion!"

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, the curly-haired woman let out a long breath! Even pinching herself caused pain. Clearly, compared to the absurdity of monsters breaking into her home, this peaceful scene felt far more real.

After all... she hadn't done anything heinous, nor had she offended any monsters. How could two monsters possibly target her so deliberately and come to her home to torture her?

Her doubts about whether the earlier events had been real quickly faded away. Then her phone suddenly rang. The curly-haired woman answered it, and an extremely obsequious male voice came from the other end.

"Director Zhu, I heard the higher-ups have unanimously decided... you'll soon become the principal!"

"Congratulations! We'll have to call you Principal Zhu from now on!"

"Principal Zhu, are you free later? I have something... well, you know. I'd like to bring it over for you later!"

One congratulatory call after another came through to her phone. The curly-haired woman stood there holding it, utterly stunned... her heart full of disbelief!

I'm... I'm going to be principal? I'm actually going to make it! I'm finally climbing to that position!

I was right all along—this is wonderful!!!

The curly-haired woman first experienced overwhelming joy. Then, after two whole days of continuous ecstasy... she lost everything.

It happened so suddenly... evidence of her taking bribes, encouraging the bullying of students, and her excessively fawning behavior toward powerful families was all exposed online. In just one day, she became like a rat crossing the street. Forget becoming principal... she couldn't even remain a teacher!

"How could this... how could this happen... why did this happen? This makes no sense!"

Tugging at her hair, the curly-haired woman was on the verge of a mental breakdown! Just yesterday, she had been happy and excited as though she were in heaven. In the next instant, it was as if she had fallen into hell!

What kind of joke is this?! How could this happen?!

"Ah!!!"

In the real world, the curly-haired woman was already covered in cold sweat and screaming nonstop! The culprit behind all of this watched the unconscious woman with a bright smile, pleasure curling at the corners of her lips.

"Looks like she's very satisfied with the illusion I created!"

Imagining the woman's miserable state within the illusion, Meng Yue couldn't help licking her lips. "Too bad I can't see what she's experiencing in there. What a shame!!"

The Purple Phantom Poison Cat... just as its name suggested, its venom naturally had the power to create illusions. Meng Yue could condense fabricated scenes into hallucinogenic poison for her target to experience, or directly make them see whatever they feared most!

Since consciousness processed information from illusions extremely quickly, the curly-haired woman spent three days in the illusion while only three minutes passed in reality.

In those mere three minutes, the woman's expression went through four changes: confusion, ecstasy, shock, and collapse! Clearly, her mind wasn't strong enough to endure such wild ups and downs, so when she emerged from the illusion... the curly-haired woman had already gone insane.

"Haha... principal... waaah! I'm going to be the principal!"

The curly-haired woman's eyes were wide open as she screamed herself hoarse! Her eyes were bloodshot, and she kept shouting like a madwoman!

"Why expose me? Why?! Do you people not have any scandals? No dirt at all?! Why am I the only one suffering? Why, why—"

Listening to the curly-haired woman's irrational screams, Meng Yue felt indescribably good. She picked up Bai Yu's main body, whose consciousness was currently elsewhere, and teleported him back to the organization's base first.

After all, the Monster Leader had to use his main body to absorb negative energy, and that couldn't be done inside the organization's base. Otherwise, Bai Yu could just bring everyone he captured straight back to the base, so why would he need to go through all this trouble?

When Meng Yue teleported back again, her hands were empty. She happily watched the curly-haired woman continue screaming for a while, even pulling out her phone to record a video.

"Goodbye!"

Then Meng Yue waved at the curly-haired woman, politely closed the door, and left behind only a newly produced mental patient.

"Furious Storm Slash!"

Downstairs, the Black Bear Executive swung the long halberd in its hands. With that movement, a black tornado formed around its body and crashed toward Judgment's slender, graceful figure—

[Read—Magic Needle Hedgehog]

Picking up a jet-black armored cannon over a meter long, Judgment inserted a card into a slot on its body. Then she aimed the barrel, infused with Magical Beast energy, at the Black Bear Executive

[Charge—Destruction]

A ghostly green spike of light shot from the cannon's muzzle. But in that instant, Judgment suddenly felt the cannon in her hands grow heavier, nearly slipping from her grasp!

Volume One: Judgment Feels Pleasure

"Bang!"

The executioner was disrupted when she pulled the trigger, causing the shot to veer wildly off target. The cannon muzzle dipped sharply, and the spike of light drilled directly into the ground before her feet—

"Whoosh!"

The next second, Judgment was swept into the air by the Black Bear Executive's attack. Even as her armored body was continuously torn apart by the black tornado, the small face behind her visor still wore a distracted expression.

Judgment was recalling, savoring the moment upstairs earlier... when a flustered expression had appeared on the Monster Leader's face!

It had only lasted an instant! But in that moment, the Monster Leader had undoubtedly panicked! He had shown weakness! He was no longer wearing that usual calm, unruffled expression. Her actions had unquestionably affected him!

Not bad~~~

At that moment... an indescribable burning sensation surfaced in Judgment's chest! Since the day she had been created, this was the first time she had felt this burning sensation, one that made her entire body stir restlessly!

What is this feeling? Just causing him a little trouble gave me such an abnormal... pleasant feeling?

Since being created, the word "pleasant" had never appeared in Judgment's heart. In truth, she had never experienced pleasure before. Of course, she had always considered that perfectly natural. After all, she was merely an execution puppet serving Lord Papi and had no need for unnecessary emotions.

But this time... the word "pleasant" came naturally to Judgment's mind, causing her to become this distracted in battle for the first time.

If merely causing the Monster Leader a little trouble could make her feel like this, then what if she could defeat him? What if she could watch him reveal weakness, fragility, and helplessness before her? What if she could hear him make pathetic sounds as he surrendered to her?

I want to see a scene like that~~~ What would I become then... I'm really looking forward to it!!!

But first, she had to deal with the nuisance.

Thinking so, the executioner calmly inserted a card from her right palm... into a card slot at her right waist, then lightly tapped it.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, a cyan figure shot out of the tornado at a speed too fast for the naked eye to catch, then kicked the Black Bear Executive directly—

"Cough—ah!!"

Because Judgment was too fast, the Black Bear Executive was struck before it could use Black Wind Transformation... A huge hole was instantly blasted through its body. Judgment then raised her left hand, and the metal spike extending from her palm pierced into the Black Bear Executive's body.

"I'll be taking your power."

Unlike when facing Bai Yu, Judgment spoke to the Black Bear Executive with complete calm. With her other hand, she fired a barrage of bullets from her pistol at Bai Yu's clone, trying to prevent him from providing support—

"Meow!"

However, in that instant, a cat mouth suddenly clamped down hard on the pistol! Caught off guard, Judgment released her grip, and the black pistol was snatched away in Meng Yue's mouth!

Tch... I was thinking too much about the Monster Leader and failed to notice this Cat Monster's movements?

Even after losing her pistol, Judgment's movements didn't change much. She maintained her stance as she absorbed the Black Bear Executive's energy, only stopping when Bai Yu aimed his magic wand at her again...

"Whoosh!"

Retracting the metal needle from her palm, Judgment calmly leaped aside and pulled a black card from the gauntlet on her left arm.

"Sorry... she took my power."

Clutching its bloody chest, the Black Bear Executive retreated to Bai Yu's side. Since its regenerative ability wasn't particularly strong among the monster executives, having its body pierced through by Judgment had left it unable to fight for the time being.

"I'll take it from here!"
