Check-In
(Bai Ziye)
Sky Branch.
Wormhole Laboratory.
Miruno, now identified as Miluno, joins Ceruno and the others here, and they are about to travel through a wormhole to the Magical Girl Specialized School.
By the way, Bai Ziye has temporarily suspended her studies.
Although she hasn't registered with the Association yet, "Miluno" has already been admitted...
But SpiCa, who knows my true identity, probably doesn't care anymore, right?
Compared to Ceruno, who was dragging a suitcase and carrying a backpack, I looked much lighter with my hands empty, holding only Miluno's "acceptance letter".
Actually, I brought quite a lot of things, but I stuffed them all into the Star Crystal.
"Big Crystal are great, they even have a larger capacity."
That idiot is still sour grapes next to me.
Golden was lying at her feet, so that she could see her panties if she looked up. Goldie, who didn't want to carry anything, had turned back into Doggy form.
Ceruno asked the guide, "Miss Luer, are we the only students Past Skyreach City?"
Two magical girls;
Add a magic Doggy.
"The others haven't arrived yet, or they've landed elsewhere and are establishing contact with the Wormhole Device over there. You'll be able to Past soon."
Log in...
Where exactly is that school located?
But since wormholes are going to be used, they shouldn't be used within Skyreach City;
To avoid being photographed by the media, it must be a secluded place;
Some remote mountain Old Lin? Hawaii island? Or beneath icebergs at the Arctic?
Ceruno pressed further, "Miss Luer, don't you need me to pick up the others?"
"Only magical girls are allowed to enter and exit that area. Although you might feel some pressure, it shouldn't be a problem for you magical girls, right?"
Miss Yin Lu pinched Ceruno's face.
A school only magical girls can enter... What if the principal is Xiao Yi has turned back into a normal person?
"If there are only magical girls, what about the logistical work such as hygiene and food?"
"Please rest assured, public health is handled by housekeeping robots, and food will be delivered regularly via wormholes. All magical girls can use the kitchen to showcase their culinary skills; there should be quite a few of you who can cook, right?"
Does this mean the school expects students to do it themselves?
Wait, this might be a business opportunity...
Ceruno's focus, however, was on what was ahead.
"Wow! Robots? This school looks really high-tech!"
"It's more than just technology; it's a combination of technology and magic, the most advanced technology to date... cough cough, I'll keep what it is a secret for now."
Why is this happening?
When it came to the crucial point, Yin Lu covered her mouth, which displeased Ceruno.
"Luer, leave the lab. Connection calibration complete."
A researcher's reminder came over the lab's loudspeaker.
"Alright, then you can look forward to your new living environment!"
Yin Lu left the laboratory, and the mechanical ring in front of her lit up with a blue light.
Are you leaving?
Ceruno twirled around with her wand and then put Bubble Membrane on me as well.
"I'm so happy to be able to go to school with Miluno!"
"Well, though it's called going to school, this is more like intensive training for magical girls, so it probably won't be easy."
"Miluno is always so calm, so cool!"
According to SpiCa's arrangement, only veteran magical girls with more than five years of experience and at least seventy battles of experience can become combat mentors.
They will customize battle plans for each magical girl, expanding the possibilities of magic.
"You can go in now."
The wormhole has been opened.
"Wait! Wait for me!"
Shouts came from the corridor.
Falcon, trailing a long braid of light and carrying a backpack, swiftly swept through the corridor before turning back, bursting into the laboratory, and lifting Ceruno into the air.
"Hehe, I've applied to university too! Ceruno, take me with you!"
I asked, "You're here too? What about Heat Haze?"
"She's been fighting as a magical girl for many years, how can she be considered a newly promoted magical girl? But I've only been a magical girl for two years, and my practical experience is practically nonexistent, so participating in the training is very meaningful for me."
Falcon is indeed not strong in actual combat.
The two revolvers weren't particularly powerful; they were only effective at exploiting weaknesses by utilizing the flexibility of their trajectory. They performed well against fragile Monster, but were somewhat helpless against hardened enemies.
"Then let's go together."
Ceruno covered Falcon with bubbles, and he then carried her into the wormhole.
The scenery inside the wormhole is as abstract as ever, but after seeing it a few times, I've gotten used to it.
Emerging from the Wormhole Generator at the other end, one finds oneself in a pure white hall.
There are no windows, but the white walls have a metallic sheen. Such walls are rare in buildings and are usually seen in places like laboratories.
The hall was also very spacious, with three Wormhole Generator arranged side by side, and nothing else.
However, several student tables were set up at the exit of the hall to register the new magic students who came to register.
"Miluno! Over here! Aunt Lin Xi is here too!"
Ceruno's greeting.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I could clearly see a familiar person standing next to her.
"... Yahoo?"
What are you yelling about?!
We said goodbye last night in an atmosphere of "we won't see each other for a year or two," and she still showed up? What a waste of my feelings!
I greeted her with a forced smile, "Prosecutor Lin Xi, long time no see."
"Hey! Don't call me prosecutor at school."
What is your position?
"Call me teacher! I'm a teacher in the Magic Development Department, responsible for assisting the children's magical development. However, I'm just a figurehead; most of the time, I have to prioritize the affairs of the Prosecutorate. But I can come over anytime as long as there's a wormhole."
Was it so that you had a reason to visit Ceruno and me, that you registered your name at school?
Ceruno asked, "Do support-type magical girls also come here for training?"
"Of course, even magic unsuitable for combat is still a unique miracle. As long as it's used properly, it can always find a suitable application. There's no magic that's useless... You three and a half people, register quickly and head to the dormitory! It's a mixed dormitory for teachers and students, all four-person rooms with two students plus two others."
A four-person room is a four-person room. What does "two plus two" mean?
Registration and reporting.
Even though I wasn't registered with the Association, they didn't make things difficult for me, since SpiCa already knew my identity.
The Golden couldn't write, so he just pressed a dog paw print when he signed his name.
After everyone had registered, I asked, "Where are we now?"
Both the lobby and the corridors were enclosed, offering no opportunity to peek inside.
Ceruno asked curiously, "Could it be underground?"
My mom, however, kept me in suspense, just like Yin Lu.
"You can see the view through the windows on the way to the Dormitory District."
What kind of school is it that they describe as so mysterious?
With these doubts in mind, I walked through the curved corridor and finally had the chance to glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the school...
10,000 meters above the ground.
Looking down, there was a vast blue sea.
Despite being a colossal structure that stretched as far as the eye could see, the school remained steadily suspended in the sky.
"Is... is this an airship?"
Ceruno looked up, but did not see the giant hot air balloon she had imagined.
"Where would an airship be this big?! What exactly does it use to maintain lift?"
"It's Star Crystal! This 'Skyborne City School' covers an area of 240,000 square meters! Relying on 48 Star Crystal to provide an anti-gravity field, it can move at a maximum speed of 180 kilometers per hour at high altitudes. Based on the pattern of wormhole appearance, as long as we fly high enough and don't stop, we will absolutely not be invaded by 'the Other Side'!"
Turn around.
Standing there was Metal, dressed in Metal.
"Miss Metal, so you've come up here to be a teacher too?"
"Didn't I tell you I don't want to be a battle-type magical girl?"
She adjusted the goggles on her head.
"Here, just call me Chief Engineer!"
