Central Control System

(Ceruno)

In the end, Miluno still decided to go to "the Other Side" alone to investigate.

Therefore, she made a request to Metal and Sirius to create a Dao Initiation:

1. It can encapsulate the magic of me and my mother.

2. You can use Crystal to replenish the magic encapsulated in the spell, and it's best if you can use them multiple times.

3. When necessary, Crystal also needs to replenish her mana.

Miss Metal's face scrunched up after hearing all this.

Miluno's request is a bit excessive. Putting everything else aside, if the sealed magic can be used continuously and multiple times through Crystal, then what's the point of having magical girls on the front lines?

Nevertheless, she replied with a wry smile, "I completely understand what you mean. I will go and discuss it with Minister Hephaestus... However, even if your request can be fulfilled, the risk of going to 'the Other Side' is still very high, after all, what you said is just one-sided speculation, right?"

I thought so too, but Miluno shook her head in denial.

"No, if I can quickly replenish my magic power, I'll have a way to get back. The enemy's base is certainly dangerous, but I can make sure they can't catch me."

Sirius also advised, "Your magic has been figured out, and they'll most likely have a plan to counter your speed. Don't underestimate them!"

This was clearly advice, but Miluno responded with a cold laugh.

"If you want to target me, you'd better be able to see me first, right?"

This person is way too confident!

While I admire that confidence, it only makes me more worried...

"I have other places to go, so I'm not wasting my breath here."

Sirius glanced at the time and said, "The City School's Central Control System is already online. Every magical girl, including you, is a personal terminal of this system. No operation is required; as long as you are under this dome, you are automatically connected to the system. You can check out the effects after leaving the Control Tower."

"What effect? Can't you see it here?"

Sirius shook his head, while Metal explained, "This is an important control console, and the only area of this system that cannot be directly interfered with. If anything goes wrong, they'll have to come here to forcibly shut down the Central Control System, so it's not under the system's management."

That makes sense...

But doesn't that sound a lot like a flag?

Will there be a scene later where the system is hacked by "the Other Side," and then they have to rush into the control panel to shut down the Central Control System?

Clang--

Lost in thought, a magnificent and distant bell rang City School, coming from the clock tower atop the teaching building.

"Preparation bell, it's time to go to class."

Miluno casually activated a Teleportation Halo.

"We should go."

She became more and more proficient at using this magic.

Through teleportation magic, I watched as groups of magical girls in matching school uniforms jogged into the school building, and I understood what Sirius meant by "effect."

Just like the UI of an RPG game, each magical girl has her own "title" and "name" pinned to her chest.

I am "Bubble Witch - Ceruno";

Miluno is "Moonlit Gale - Miluno";

The Golden " is just that—the " Golden "...

It's not surprising that this Doggy doesn't have a title yet. There are many magical girls like this who only have names, and quite a few who haven't even fought in their debut battle. This school is designed to help these fledglings adapt to real combat as quickly as possible and get them ready to fight.

Although, I myself am just a fledgling bird.

However, brand names are very eye-catching. If you don't want others to see them, you can hide them by simply touching your brand name tag.

This is just an example of the application of holographic projection technology. Although it looks cool, it's not difficult to achieve with current technology, and it doesn't even have much to do with magic...

But what happened next was magical.

"Ceruno, Miluno!"

A magical girl I'd never seen before, with long, curly blonde hair and squinty eyes, surprisingly with a slightly chubby figure for a magical girl.

The name tag on her chest read "Caliber Justice - Cannon".

This is indeed a very self-explanatory title.

"I... I'm Cannon, a magical girl from Britannia! I saw your performance at the previous Supernova Idol Festival and I was deeply moved! That's why I'm a fan! Can you understand me? The translation should be working properly, right?"

The magical girl from Britannia naturally doesn't speak Chinese, but the sentence itself was automatically translated as soon as it entered my ears.

Is this the translation function that Xiao Yi praised so highly?

Delay-free simultaneous interpretation is far more advanced and efficient than those laughable machine translation programs.

The principle behind it is completely incomprehensible, so it can only be explained by magic. Although its range of effect is limited to under the dome of the City School, it is more than enough for the students of the City School.

"Yes! I can understand! Thank you for your support!"

I happily went up to my fan and shook her hand to express my gratitude.

"We're all magical girls, classmates, so let's forget about being fans! Let's just get along as friends!"

"Okay, okay!"

When I said that, Cannon had been very proactive just moments before, became nervous.

"Proactive socializing" is a topic I've recently set for myself. In order to become an outstanding role model and to achieve a better version of myself, I must correct my Past timid and socially anxious personality.

I am no longer A-Yao; I must make changes for the better!

But every time this happens, Miluno and the Golden look at me with a ghostly expression, their gazes become unfamiliar, and they even inexplicably show concern and ask after my well-being...

"Ceruno, it's time to go to the classroom."

"Yes, Miss Cannon, let's talk again later!"

Because of the large number of students, the temporary classroom for the Magical Girl Chinese class was located in the lecture hall on the second floor.

I asked, "What's the first class?"

Miluno replied, "Bai Ze's freshman orientation course is a lecture specifically prepared for magical girls who haven't even fought in their debut battle and haven't officially started their training."

"Oh, so it's for magical girls like Xiaoling and Extinction to hear, right?"

Miluno shook her head.

"No, you and Goldie can listen too."

"Um?"

Although she wasn't a magical girl from the early days of the war, Ms. Bai Ze is still a veteran.

This "old" quality is not only reflected in the length of time she has been a magical girl, but also in her own steadfastness (it is said that she was originally an old woman). She has mentored many magical girls in Skyreach City, including the carefree Sky Lock, making her a perfect fit as a teacher at the magic academy.

At the same time, she was also our temporary homeroom teacher for the Chinese class.

"There are so many people."

Entering the large lecture hall, we found it already quite full Thunderous Resonance waving frantically from the front row, but we still managed to find an empty seat in the back.

Exhausted from his morning run, Golden fell asleep instantly upon slumping onto the table.

"Ahem~ Everyone, please be quiet for a moment."

Miss Bai Ze cleared her throat, and the classroom quickly quieted down.

She stood on the stage in a white evening gown, her black hair tied back with a dark gray ribbon, making her look crisp and neat.

"Today is the last day of our temporary class. Tomorrow, new teachers will be assigned based on your magical properties, so I won't give you any grand speeches. Since we're all magical girls, let's settle things with our fists!"

Why do magical girls resort to violence?
