Hello, Professor Mi
(Miluno)
Zodiacal Magic Academy, Lower Level.
Engine Department.
Noticing the teleportation portal I had opened, Metal put down his repair tools and greeted me.
"What a rare guest! What brings you here?"
She remained the same as always, busy with City School facilities, special material production, and even her own clothing store. Despite working like a 24-hour machine every day, she rarely showed any signs of fatigue.
She felt that life should be this fulfilling.
Although I oppose laziness, I still can't bring myself to enjoy diligence.
"What am I here for? Didn't SpiCa tell you at noon?"
"Oh, you said you were going to leave someone here with me... but why did you bring two people with you?"
Besides Stratos, Mono was also following behind me. Both of them had fleshy horns on their foreheads, clearly indicating that they were "guests" from the Other Side. It's understandable that Metal couldn't tell them apart.
Let me introduce myself.
First, push Stratos in front of you.
"This is Professor Stratos, a research scholar from 'the Other Side,' and her other identity is the former director of the Monster Development Department. She is currently suffering political persecution from the 'Supreme Council,' so I just brought her back."
Given her status and knowledge, giving her the title of professor wouldn't be a problem. Most importantly... flattery works very well on her. She really enjoys being flattered, and these kinds of people are actually quite simple and easy to understand.
Once I figured out her temperament, I knew how to make her so happy she wouldn't want to leave.
Metal removed his work gloves and shook hands with Stratos.
"I am the chief engineer of this City School. Our Engine Department is responsible for power maintenance and emergency repairs, and also handles the maintenance of other equipment."
He then pointed to the area that had been cleared behind him.
"This area will serve as your temporary laboratory. You can arrange it as you like, and please feel free to ask if you need any help. We will try our best to accommodate your needs..."
I put my arm around Stratos's shoulder.
"I know there are some things that definitely don't exist or can't be made on Earth. I'll take you to Aldebaran... to buy them."
"You have dealings with that girl?"
Stratos was puzzled, so I added:
"Of course I'm talking about zero-yuan purchases."
As everyone knows, I never pay when I go to "the Other Side" to get things.
She still didn't understand, but Metal laughed:
"As expected of Miluno, swindling and stealing are as casual as eating and drinking. Your magic isn't for being a thief."
"However, my magic is perfect for this, even more so than for combat. Besides, Professor Stratos wouldn't object to stealing Aldebaran's things, would he? After all, the development department originally belonged to you, and Aldebaran was the thief who stole the position. I'm just helping you get it back."
Stratos nodded.
Although she appeared calm on the surface, the sudden flush on her face betrayed her.
My words made her feel comfortable, and she nodded like a little old man, even a bit arrogant, completely unlike the timid person she was when I dragged her out.
"I... cough... I will organize what I need, but before that, could you let me examine the Base Body of your Witch Persona?"
Her offer to examine Mono's Base Body reminded me of something.
I placed my hand on Mono's shoulder, guiding her to my front, and asked:
"Professor, could you upgrade this Base Body and try to fit Mono's entire personality inside?"
Mono said irritably:
"Wow! Miluno! After all these days, you're still thinking of kicking me out?"
Stratos shook his head as well.
"It's impossible. This girl's personality is quite unique. I've never seen a single personality with such a massive amount of data. To completely settle her in, we'd probably need a much larger Crystal."
Upon hearing that it was impossible, Mono breathed a sigh of relief and even asked:
"So, you can't make Artificial Crystal at all, right?"
I immediately gave Mono a sharp flick on the forehead.
He then scolded her, "Idiot, how can your emotional intelligence be so low? How could you say such a thing in front of the professor? Everyone knows that she is not as good as Aldebaran in Crystal research, and you have to bring it up yourself! Can't you even read the room!"
"I think you Miluno, are even less adept at reading people's expressions, aren't you?"
Mono curled his lip and pointed to Stratos was coughing up blood on the ground.
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough!"
I just wanted to provoke her, did she have to react so strongly?
"Heh, who says I'm inferior to that girl! We just have different research directions. Bring me the equipment I need, prepare some materials, and give me another half month... It's just Simulated Crystal, what's so difficult about that?"
She's so easy to control. We're both researchers, so why is Aldebaran like a cunning fox?
"I don't know anything about research, so I'll leave it to you, Professor. You guys should get the venue ready first."
"OK!"
Metal patted his chest, then summoned one of his magical girls to record the professor's material needs. "I can't help with this," he said, and returned to the dormitory with Mono.
Ceruno took Xiaoling and the others to Nabu Island Prison;
My teaching assistant, Jaeger, went to the morning and afternoon classes;
Even the Golden went back to the island to play with other Doggy.
"Miluno, I'm so bored."
I've been incredibly busy lately, and now that I finally have a chance to calm down, I'm not going to be bored.
I brewed a pot of tea (I don't know whose it was made), picked up a box of cookies (I don't know whose it was made), and enjoyed an afternoon tea alone on the balcony lounge chair...
"Huh? Aren't I a human being too!"
Buzz--
Beyond the dome, in a place higher than the sky, appeared a huge blue ring.
The wormhole was about the same size as the one that launched the Magic Titan, but Betelgeuse was still imprisoned on Nabu Island. What was they going to throw over there?
"Oh! Looks like you can't enjoy afternoon tea 'alone'!"
The little thing was still gloating.
The "Zodiacal" is constantly moving; it was originally designed as a flying fortress to prevent invasion, and now it's time to test its effectiveness.
However, the fact that "the Other Side" was able to accurately ascertain the movements of the City School suggests that Sun Ji likely has an inside source within the City School.
These spies are a real problem.
The Central Control System reacted to the intrusion, and the Zodiacal's flight speed began to increase, quickly leaving the immobile, large wormhole behind.
Meanwhile, wormhole alarms echoed City School, putting nearly a thousand magical girls on high alert.
"Dear students, don't panic! The appearance of a wormhole at City School means that 'the Other Side' has finally realized our threat. This is also the first time City School has been invaded. We must firmly believe that no matter what kind of enemy we encounter, they will not be our match!"
Principal Xiao Yi's battle mobilization.
Fomalhaut, as the obvious trump card of "the Other Side," has been put in solitary confinement. I don't know who else they can send to take on all the magical girls in the City School.
Is this a coordinated operation, with "the Other Side" also deploying its entire force?
"Miluno, come out!"
A point of light fell from above the distant wormhole, passing through the enormous halo and revealing a round... missile warhead?
Damn it.
It's Annihilation Bomb!
Ahem, I've almost paid off my extra chapter debt, and I'm starting to prepare for my next book!
(Assuming this book is updated consistently)
