The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

The Hero Association plans to conduct a training camp for magical girls.

This was originally a good thing—as the number of the new generation gradually increases, the veterans are retiring one after another, so it is absolutely necessary to hold a large-scale training camp at this time to improve the overall combat effectiveness.

After Garuda was destroyed, new types of monsters gradually appeared in various places. Everyone felt that these new monsters were very troublesome to deal with, and even veteran veterans might not be able to defeat them easily.

There have even been sightings of entirely new forms of "Domain Witches," but they are generally considered an urban legend.

"……In summary."

In the main conference room of the Chengdu Heroes Association, Messiah, a white-haired girl sitting on the podium, put down the documents in her hand and addressed the girls below, some of whom were absent-minded and others sitting upright.

"This large-scale training camp is different from previous ones. A specialist will explain the specific details later. You can also scan the QR code on the screen to view the relevant content in the association's official APP or mini-program."

A rustling sound arose from the audience as the girls pulled out their sacred stones or scanned the QR codes with their phones, then bent down to read them carefully.

Then came a chorus of low gasps and whispers, but it quickly subsided.

After the audience had completely quieted down, the Messiah continued:

"Has everyone read the training camp schedule? You can ask any questions now."

Many people responded.

Then one person raised their hand.

"Miss Azalea of ​​Lincheng, please speak," Messiah said, uttering the other's name.

The slender girl rose from her seat, first politely bowing to the Messiah on the podium, then picked up the microphone that had been teleported to her from the table by a meteor, and said:

"Hey, cough... I have a question. Is participation in this training camp mandatory?"

"Participation is not mandatory. You can leave at any time, and the association will not withhold your daily allowance for absence." Messiah shook his head.

"I see... Then I'd like to ask, what are the changes between this training camp and the last one?"

This was a question shared by the vast majority of people present. Apart from the new team like Hyacinth, who had never participated in training before, every other team with a few years of experience had at least heard about the content of the last training session:

The training camp lasted fifteen days, during which many veteran experts were invited to explain various magic and melee techniques, which was very rewarding. However, by today's standards, these techniques are somewhat outdated.

After all, many senior artists of Inari Red Rose's caliber have made a comeback, and many senior artists abroad have also made a comeback during Magic Storm. With the development of the internet today, there is no shortage of learning materials.

"The specific details are still under discussion, but this training session will be held in the Mindscape World. I believe that many of you here have either experienced it firsthand or at least heard of it."

Another round of whispers ensued, this time with a much more cheerful tone; girls are often more enthusiastic when sharing things they're interested in.

"What is the world of mental images?"

"You haven't heard of this? It's Senior Red Rose's most powerful magic, which can instantly envelop the entire city of Sui..."

"Speaking of this, Xin Yuehu is probably the most powerful."

That's true.

"What specific training will be conducted in the mental imagery world? If it's in that kind of place, you should learn more than when training in the suburbs."

When the whispers subsided, the Messiah spoke again:

"The specific training program will be announced later. Please pay attention to the latest news, which will be pushed to the APP by tomorrow morning at the latest."

"There's one project that's definitely confirmed right now... um... this project was personally approved by the BOSS."

After a brief pause, Messiah switched the content on the large screen projector, and a training program appeared on the screen, followed by silence.

[Training Program: Simulated Attack and Defense Against Astral Behemoths]

……

What a magnificent simulation of attack and defense against a behemoth!

After the meeting ended, the girls who participated in the gathering left with the help of the meteor, but a few who lived nearby surrounded Messiah and asked her more questions.

The vast majority of the problems are concentrated on the only project that was disclosed, which was exactly what Messiah expected.

"Recently, there has been a high number of attacks by strange creatures. With the repeated attacks by astral behemoths, our understanding of these giant astral beings is gradually becoming richer."

"However, their diverse and varied abilities have caused the reconnaissance team a great deal of trouble, making it impossible to effectively detect their presence."

"Thanks to the warnings and early intervention of Red Rose Inari and Red Snow, more serious consequences were avoided."

"Therefore, we have decided to let the magical girls who did not participate in these battles against the giant beasts experience the oppressive feeling of fighting against it, and then look for the common magical characteristics that the giant beasts may have. This is something that only you all can do."

The pre-training speech ignited the passion and fighting spirit of the girls, who all agreed to participate.

But for some, this training was clearly not a leisurely summer vacation outing, hiking, or shopping trip; rather, it was a rather unusual "test"...

"So what are your specific requirements?" The golden-haired fox sat at the negotiating table, carefully examining the letter of authorization in front of her.

The black-and-gold letter of authorization, the standard format of the Hero Association, detailed the contents of the authorization, but some terms still needed to be confirmed in person.

"The request is actually very simple, and with Miss Xinyuehu's abilities, you should be able to achieve it easily."

The person in charge of this communication was not Messiah, but Moira, who was also from the logistics department.

"A fully protected close-quarters combat arena that can accommodate multiple people for practice, a spacious range with moving and fixed targets, and customizable dummy and companion dummies to train melee firepower and emergency support skills respectively."

"Hmm... that's not difficult. I have a lot of similar designs in my previous mental images. I'll just borrow from them." Su Tianqing nodded in agreement.

Training grounds? No problem. My mental world can now perfectly accommodate even FOXCRAFT, and can even run two or three large multiplayer servers at the same time. A few practice grounds are nothing to me.

"There are other things like team combat training and leisure activities during training breaks... Aside from these, I think we should explore this matter in more depth."

Moyi stretched out her hand and tapped on the tablet in her hand, showing the text on the tablet to the golden fox.

"The simulated attack and defense against the astral behemoths is the most important part of this training camp."

"This... is indeed a bit tricky..."

Su Tianqing pinched the tip of her tail, lost in thought.

Looking around the world, it seems that only I, this fox, can assist in completing this training program, but how do I choose the behemoths to be used for simulation?

Kraken, the newly minted mechanic monster single-handedly defended by Albatross? Jormungandr, the unlucky fellow tricked by Inari? Or Garuda, blocked by this fox's Mind Line?

...Hey, I have a new idea.

Why must we use astral behemoths that have appeared before? Couldn't I prepare a behemoth that I've never seen before but that actually exists in the astral plane?

For example—this is the latest breed developed by this fox, which has only made a brief appearance in FOXCRAFT.

【Bahamut, a pseudo-giant beast】!
