Everyone had underestimated Albatross's fighting style.
Including Su Tianqing herself.
According to the Hero Association's records, the Scarlet Snow Squad was a classic, well-balanced team with two fighters in front, one in back, and a support. The current Hyacinth Squad had also adopted this composition, though now they had added Shuo Ye, who specialized in mobility and reconnaissance. Among magical girl squads around the world, it was considered a classic setup.
Albatross had once served as the firepower specialist of the Scarlet Snow Squad—the role Iris and Bai Lili now filled—using various offensive spells to support close-range fighters and suppress opponents with firepower when the time was right.
But as she faded from public view, people gradually forgot how this veteran firepower-type magical girl had demonstrated overwhelming firepower more than twenty years ago... until today.

Albatross gripped the long-handled staff in both hands and raised it high overhead. The Golden Cross Star at its tip bloomed with dazzling gray-white light, rapidly constructing countless small barriers around her.
From the barriers spreading across the sky—countless heavy weapons capable of spewing flame emerged.
.50-caliber heavy machine guns, 20mm autocannons, rocket launchers, thermobaric rockets, recoilless rifles, even 122mm howitzers and 130mm cannons.
