Zodiacal Magic Academy

(Ceruno)

Miluno entered the teleportation spell at night.

Then they were carried back in the morning.

Her teleportation magic thus became a wormhole, directly connecting to "the Other Side".

She herself ventured alone deep behind enemy lines without any preparation and actually managed to rescue Miss Anjie...

Not only was he seriously injured (he insists it was only minor), but the side effects of the Enhancer also weakened his body's self-healing ability. But being able to come back is the best outcome, and he is currently recuperating in his dormitory.

As a result, I missed the opening ceremony of the City School.

Yes, today is September 1st.

Despite the lack of manpower in all aspects, the language barriers everywhere, the rigid voice translation program as standard, the fact that students even have to take care of their own meals, the principal's lack of experience in running a school, the teachers' lack of teaching experience, and the fact that some students can't even read many characters...

Despite a host of problems, the school maintains a united atmosphere, because everyone is a magical girl, or at least a decent person, right?

In short, this groundbreaking magical girl academy has finally officially opened.

However, the opening ceremony was rather shabby.

More than three hundred magical girls in strange costumes gathered in the huge gymnasium, making it seem somewhat empty. Not to mention that Principal Xiao Yi was not much taller than the podium, and when she stood there, only the top half of her bag could be seen.

"... As the number of magical girls grows daily, the offensive from 'the Other Side' is becoming increasingly aggressive. In order to deal with the potential crisis, the first magic academy, Zodiacal, was established in this Skyborne City School!"

The Zodiacal.

This is the name that was finally decided upon for the school, and it's just right for the magical girls who draw power from the stars.

"... But our mission is not merely to solve the employment problem of magical girls. To improve the combat skills of new magical girls and cultivate elites capable of launching counterattacks is our school's mission! In the near future, all of you here will shoulder the mission of protecting civilization, and for the sake of all humanity, we will invade the stronghold of 'the Other Side' and end this twelve-year-long war!"

Principal Xiao Yi's speech has ended.

Sirius walked onto the stage amidst the murmurs.

"Well, there shouldn't be anyone here who doesn't know me, so I don't need to introduce myself, right?"

Her speech was more casual than Xiao Yi's, clearly an impromptu performance without a prepared script.

"My eternally seventeen-year-old beauties, I have some unexpected good news to share. One of you was absent yesterday, but she launched a daring, unplanned operation, venturing alone to 'the Other Side' to rescue our personnel who had been captured. Of course, I don't advocate such reckless operations, but I just want to let you all know that our enemy is not invincible."

They're talking about Miluno! That's practically a school-wide commendation!

"Seven years ago, humanity had just completed the enlightenment of wormhole technology, and after spending a lot of manpower and resources, finally opened the door to 'the Other Side'. They sent thirty elite magical girls as the vanguard, but they all perished under the onslaught from the Other Side... Not only that, but it also gave 'the Other Side' a high-level combat force called 'witches'... These were originally classified information, but one day you will have to face the threat of enemy witches, so I don't intend to hide it from you."

Sirius's expression was unusually serious.

Quiet murmurs arose from the audience; most of the magical girls were unaware of this.

The Association has kept the existence of witches a secret for a long time, and the fact that it chose to reveal them now indicates that SpiCa is indeed planning something.

"Perhaps some of you have already guessed, but let me clarify! 'Witches' are Monster created using us magical girls as raw materials. They retain memories of their time as magical girls, and even their personalities are somewhat influenced by them..."

Sirius began by recounting the origins of the witch, even mentioning the existence of the witch's barrier.

However, I already knew all this, so I wasn't paying much attention and even started yawning.

When I came to my senses, the opening ceremony was already over.

At the same time, we also received a jokingly different class assignment result.

Sky Lock slapped my back and yelled, "Ceruno, we're all in the same class, and there are over sixty magical girls in just our class!"

"Is that so?"

Sixty students in one class is outrageous.

However, this is only a temporary assignment based on language. In the next two days, we won't need to learn any magic application skills. Instead, the teachers will guide everyone to get acquainted with the school, demonstrate their magic, and propose improvements and experiments for the application of magic.

This learning style is more like university; the learning is relatively casual, but the results of one's efforts depend on the individual.

"Huh? Falcon isn't in our class?"

One familiar face is missing from this list.

Sky Lock shrugged and replied, "After all, her native language is English, so there's still a chance she'll be assigned to the same group later."

There is indeed a chance. In a couple of days, the school will introduce a 'Central Control System' driven by magical girls to break down language barriers between students.

I don't know what it is, but Principal Xiao Yi said it's something very powerful.

Once the communication issues are resolved, the Zodiacal can be divided into classes based on the characteristics of different magics. After all, freaks like Miluno are a minority. The strength of most magical girls is still linked to experience, so the magical girls chosen as teachers are generally not bad in strength.

At least in terms of firepower, our Heat Haze- sensei is far ahead of all other magical girls...

"Ceruno! We don't have anything else planned for this morning, let's go eat first!"

As I left the stadium, the humanoid Golden found me by its scent and took my arm, heading towards the Materials Distribution Center.

"I don't want to eat out; I want to cook for Miluno today."

"Huh? Ceruno can cook too?"

"Now that Miluno has fallen, I must shoulder this responsibility!"

"But if it doesn't taste good, people will dislike it, right? Even if we say it's okay, we'll still dislike eating bad food!"

Tsk, why is this Doggy so direct?

"Then let me do it! I'll make something nutritious for Sister Miluno!"

Xiaoling, who appeared beside me without me even realizing it, said this.

"Can Xiaoling cook?"

"I already told you to call me the Decomposer!"

She put her hands on her hips to express her dissatisfaction, and added, "Besides, who do you think fed Sister Extinction during those two years of repeating a grade?"

There's definitely something wrong with that statement, isn't there?

Miss Extinction covered her mouth, tears welling in her eyes!

Sky Lock said, "You're going to cook for yourselves? Then I'll go find Sister Bai Ze first. Do you remember the classroom this afternoon?"

"Um."

"Then you must come to Bai Ze's class!"

Before the official class assignments, our temporary homeroom teacher was Ms. Bai Ze. Although we didn't have much contact, I remember her as a very mature and charming magical girl.

Since everyone looks like a young girl, someone who can exude mature charm under these circumstances must be truly mature...

I don't even know how old she really is.
