[Miss Witch, your reputation is rising significantly.] [Miss Witch, your reputation is rising dramatically...] [Your reputation is rising dramatically!!]

At Mo Zhen's home, system messages kept popping up before his eyes, one after another, until he had to turn on silent mode.

[Current reputation: "Rising to Fame"] [Definition of valid reputation: People who respect and love, admire, or fear you from the bottom of their hearts will provide you with valid reputation.]

Mo Zhen recalled how he had designed reputation in his previous life and couldn't help looking forward to the day his reputation reached "Widely Renowned."

You're that widely renowned V, aren't you?

No, no, no, I'm DY.

Ahem. Aside from that, the news that made him happiest was about his quest.

[Congratulations, Miss Witch, you have completed your beginner quest (2)!] [You have received the reward trait: Sukuna-Level Magic Output Efficiency.] [Your personal panel has been updated.] [Transformed state.] [Magic codename: Hell.] [Danger level: C+.] [Strength: C+ (previously D+)] [Speed: C+.] [Defense: C+.] [Magic power: B+.] [Charm: S.] [Abilities: Cursed Technique: Malevolent Shrine, Reverse Cursed Technique.] [Traits: "Sukuna-Level Total Magic Power," "Sukuna-Level Output Efficiency."]

The moment he received the trait, Mo Zhen's witch-state panel underwent a major update.

Previously, he had possessed Sukuna-level total magic power, but he had been like a faucet reduced to a trickle, unable to unleash his full strength.

Now, however, things were different.

Sukuna-level magic output efficiency had brought Mo Zhen's magic power conversion rate to a terrifying level.

Although it couldn't compare to Satoru Gojo's near-zero-loss efficiency, it was enough to satisfy Mo Zhen for the time being.

In magical girl form, their magic power automatically enhanced their physical abilities, a trait exclusive to magical girls.

Thus, in his transformed state, Mo Zhen's strength, speed, and defense had all been pushed straight to C+.

It was worth remembering that the higher the danger level, the greater the gap between individuals.

Throughout human history to date, Peacemaker alone had stood supreme as the sole S+-rank superhero, while the others had remained stubbornly stuck at A+, unable to advance.

Moreover, when he wasn't transformed,

Mo Zhen could still use Cursed Techniques, but the boost from his magic power was only half as strong.

If he wanted to use more power, he had to release all the magic power in his body, and releasing it was equivalent to transforming.

Thus, his normal state was phase one, and his magical girl form was phase two.

Temporarily setting aside his excitement, Mo Zhen looked at the updated quest.

[Beginner quest (3): Participate in a superhero's/magical girl's "personal event" while raising your own reputation to "Slightly Famous".] [Reputation objective: (Exceeded)] [Personal event: Incomplete.] [Reward: Complete Form: Domain Expansion (not a Fushiguro-level domain lacking all three essentials.)]

Damn it, even this takes a shot at Fushiguro.

Before I get Mahoraga, I won't say a single bad word about Uncle Fushiguro.

Mo Zhen's expression was solemn.

As for personal events, they were another thing he had designed in his previous life. They were easier to trigger than random events, and resembled the personal universes commonly used in American comics.

He had settled on three people as his initial targets.

Scarlet Spider, Mo Xiaochuan, and Saionji Kirika.

As long as he spent more time around them, an event triggered by any one of the three would help him complete the quest and obtain a complete form of Domain Expansion.

Just then, The Conjuring ended.

Mo Zhen raised his hand and looked at Bai Xiaoxiao and Mo Xiaochuan, who were clinging to him like sloths. "How long are you two going to keep holding on?"

Mo Xiaochuan coughed twice and hurriedly pulled his hands away. "I wasn't scared!"

"I wasn't scared either!"

Bai Xiaoxiao also let go, her earlobes bright red. Her teddy-bear nightdress still held the warmth her brother had left on it.

Mo Zhen asked, "Are you two hungry?"

Bai Xiaoxiao and Mo Xiaochuan nodded at once.

So Mo Zhen got up and went to the kitchen to boil some dumplings.

Wrapped in a blanket and curled up on the couch, Bai Xiaoxiao took out her phone and opened the unread message from Senior Wuhua.

Suddenly, her eyes widened in surprise.

Senior Hell... killed someone?!

She watched the entire video, her palms growing slightly sweaty. In particular, the barrage comments calling Hell a "murderer" at the end filled the screen, making Bai Xiaoxiao want to turn them all off.

Without pausing for a moment, she rushed to the Bilibili comment section and quickly typed.

"Why are you insulting her like this? Ripper was a wanted criminal, wasn't he? She was clearly ridding the people of a menace!"

As soon as Bai Xiaoxiao posted her comment, a steady stream of reinforcements poured into the comment section, which had already turned into the Battle of Verdun.

"Lmao, another devoted little defender. This gray-haired magical girl has seriously violated the Ministry of Magic's regulations. Just wait, the ministry will bring her to justice in three days at most!"

"I agree with the original poster. Ripper deserved to die, but to be fair, this magical girl really was in the wrong. Killing him in private would have been one thing, but using it as her debut announcement blackens the name of all magical girls."

"If she dares kill a criminal today, she'll dare kill ordinary people tomorrow. Once she turns into a witch and flattens your hometown first, you'll learn your lesson."

"Get lost, you bunch of idiots. Bullying a magical girl here is all you're capable of. Didn't you see Ripper was about to kill Scarlet Spider? And you in the second comment, pretending to be reasonable and neutral-may your whole family ascend first."

As Bai Xiaoxiao read the messages, her face and body began heating up rapidly.

She began firing back at the people insulting Senior Hell in the comments.

At the same time, she liked the comments from the few supporters.

The messages came one after another.

The little white cat wrapped in a blanket was red in the face, her hands shaking with anger as she typed.

Just then, Mo Zhen came over from behind her. Seeing her typing furiously in the comments, he sighed helplessly to himself.

He didn't care about the comments himself, but Bai Xiaoxiao looked as though she really was about to die of anger.

"Ahhh, these morons! Idiots!"

How she wished she had magic that would let her beat people up through the internet cable.

"Come eat the dumplings."

Mo Zhen spoke up beside her.

Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, shut off her phone, and followed Mo Zhen to the dining table. After sitting down, she couldn't resist opening the comments to take another look.

But then...

[We're very sorry, this video has disappeared.]

Below it were recommended videos from other creators with over a million followers:

"An exhaustively researched ten-thousand-word deep dive: Did you really understand the Moon Studio incident? A detailed account of the decade-long lawsuit behind Titan Capital and the Ministry of Magic!"

"Titan Capital formally declares war on the Ministry of Magic? A power struggle hidden behind the right to interpret magical girls!"

"Left? Right? Under the impact of capitalism, can the people's magical girls remain true to their original ideals?"

"Wall Street Express: Titan Capital targets the Ministry of Magic late at night. The move may cause stock prices to fluctuate, potentially dragging down the entire magical girl sector."

What was all this supposed to be?!

Bai Xiaoxiao was so angry she nearly smashed her phone. Only after wolfing down several dumplings did she barely manage to swallow her anger.

At that moment, Mo Xiaochuan also noticed that his expression wasn't right.

So he opened his phone, and before he could even look anything up, a good friend sent him a related video.

"Oh~"

After watching the video, Mo Xiaochuan's eyes lit up. "What's this magical girl's name? Her ability is so cool-elegant and deadly."

"Especially that close-range slash at the end. It was so elegant! Like she was dancing a waltz. I think I've become her fan."

"Right?! I thought so too!"

Hearing that, Bai Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly.

The two seemed to have suddenly found something in common and began chattering away.

Mo Xiaochuan talked about how cool and flashy Hell's abilities were, while Bai Xiaoxiao went on a tirade against those brainless netizens.

Each talked about something different, yet both thought the other was right.

Mo Zhen silently ate his sauerkraut dumplings beside them, keeping his deeds and identity hidden.

Early the next morning.

Taiping Prefecture Ministry of Magic:

An emergency meeting was being held in a classical church in an old neighborhood. Many of the people in charge had been summoned at short notice.

Those who couldn't make it in time attended by projection.
