Teaching Assistant
(Miluno)
"Wait, I enrolled as a student."
It would be really strange to suddenly switch to being a teacher!
Xiao Yi gave me a helpless look and sighed, "The magical girl who was originally in charge of this class strongly recommended you to be the instructor of the Mobility Class."
"Huh? Why?"
"With you in the class, she can't teach freely because she feels she's not as good as you... After all, when it comes to acceleration-type characters, you're probably the strongest."
Actually, I'm a time-related person.
"I understand. So I should get paid, right?"
Although asking this might seem a bit mercenary, it's better to discuss money matters beforehand.
"Yes, even if the Association lacks everything else, it's unlikely to be short of money."
Since there's income, being a part-time instructor isn't too bad, although I don't know what skills I can teach those newbies...
"After all, it was the Qiang Sai that gave me this position, so I have a request."
I handed my head back to Xiaoling and squeezed myself between Xiao Yi and Ceruno.
"I also need to designate a teaching assistant."
There's a skilled but not-so-slow wolf warrior I can utilize. He's incredibly fast, but just not as strong as me.
Xiao Yi took my conditions to SpiCa, who quickly called back with a reply.
"No, that's absolutely impossible! Doing that would break the rules. How can we let Monster set foot on magical girls' territory? It's like letting a boy into an all-girls school—it's like inviting a wolf into the house... well, it really is a wolf."
SpiCa rejected my request to Xiao Yi.
"Why? Ryu's basic form is typical of a speed-type Monster. Having him as my teaching assistant will allow me to better train these new magical girls."
That armor was quite tough; it made a good target.
"The City School only allows magical girls to enter and exit, and he is not a magical girl."
After saying all that, isn't it just that I want to keep the person I like by my side?
Since the stream's memories come from Aldebaran's Past, does SpiCa also have feelings for Aldebaran?
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then the voice said, "But there's another suitable candidate. If you agree, I can send her Past."
"Who?"
"Jaeger."
SpiCa uttered a name that sounded very grandiose, but I had no idea who she was.
"Who is that? Sounds like an easy target for a headshot."
"The magical girl you captured the Jet Witch a while ago, the one you used as material for her creation, is named Jaeger."
Oh, that flying witch dressed like a tokusatsu hero with wings on her back.
The magic involved creating jets throughout her body, which was indeed a magic that emphasized mobility, but since I defeated her instantly, I'm not entirely sure of her strength.
"Um, she doesn't seem to be very strong?"
I questioned him quietly, but SpiCa introduced himself loudly.
"Jaeger is a seasoned magical girl, an elite chosen by the Star Crystal at the beginning of the war. She is also a junior officer in the German Air Corps. Her jet magic allows her to fly at high speeds, which can perfectly fill the gap that prevents her from flying. She is perfect as your teaching assistant, and more than capable of it!"
"Is that so?"
I was overwhelmed by SpiCa's momentum, but I was still somewhat incredulous.
"Meeting you was just bad luck. If it were a magical girl who couldn't keep up with her speed, she would definitely be toyed with."
Even so, it still doesn't seem quite right to me...
"How can I get her to listen to me?"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it and send her Past."
SpiCa's use of the word "processing" sounds a bit scary.
Golden: Wait! What about me?
(Doggy don't need to go to class)
The next day.
Before class, the Jet Witch, who had been brainwashed by SpiCa's "Mental Overlay," arrived at the City School, and I was there to "sign for" her.
"Report!"
She wore a tight-fitting blue and white suit of armor, a half-covered helmet, and a pair of foldable wings on her back. Her entire body was covered with numerous jet nozzles, all of which could be linked with her magic to achieve incredible aerial maneuvers.
Metal was also present, but having witnessed Anjie's brainwashing before, she was not surprised by the Jet Witch's condition.
"Yes, Miss Jaeger... right?"
The Jet Witch nodded.
The bright yellow transparent mask covered the upper half of her face, making it impossible for me to see her expression, but she was clearly in a rather blank state.
She replied, "Miluno, I will obey your orders."
Do you know who you are?
"I am a witch."
Her answer was full of energy, giving her the impression of a soldier.
Am I your enemy?
"You are my enemy."
Did the brainwashing attempt fail?
Or is there some kind of malfunction?
I asked again, "If I am the enemy, then you will still obey my orders?"
It was a contradictory thought, but Jaeger nodded vigorously.
"Um!"
Huh my ass!
Similar to Anjie's initial state when she was reduced to a door-opening tool, although she can communicate, she has almost no self-expression. SpiCa's brainwashing can even disrupt a person's logical chain, even in conflicting behaviors. If such a bizarre magic were thrown at the other side, it would be at least on par with the Four Heavenly Kings, if not the final boss.
"Sigh, no wonder Sun Ji would rather abandon Anjie's personality and turn her into a witch... SpiCa's magic is even more inhumane than the transformation itself."
Metal patted my shoulder and advised, "Take it easy. At least Director SpiCa is an ally, and her magic hasn't been used on us. Besides, her brainwashing isn't that reliable; there's still a risk of it being reversed if something happens."
Huh? Is it still possible to undo it?
"This isn't good news! What if she suddenly rebels? Wouldn't I be in grave danger?"
"Aren't you capable of subduing her?"
"But I can't be on edge all the time, can I? It's dangerous for those new magical girls too, after all, she's a witch."
Jaeger nodded.
"Yes, I am a witch."
"I didn't ask you!"
For ordinary magical girls, witches are formidable enemies that require the combined efforts of at least one magical girl to defeat. If they are suddenly betrayed, they are unlikely to be able to react in time.
"Class is about to start, Ms. Miluno, good luck!"
"Hello, can't I return it?"
"At least try it out first! Shark Princess Witch trusts you so much, I believe Jaeger can too!"
Achernar because I saved her life, but there was no life-saving favor between me and Jaeger; in fact, I had crushed his spine before...
The bell rang as a preparatory bell.
I asked, "Jaeger is her real name, so what is her name as a magical girl?"
I'd heard SpiCa mention it before, but it didn't really stick in my memory.
I asked Metal, but Jaeger gave me a standard military salute.
"Jet, belonging to the German Air Corps, magical girl Jet!"
Is this because of chaotic brainwashing practices?
Magical Girl's Memories.
What does it really mean to a witch?
Is there anything I can do about this memory?
