Chapter 2 Magical Girl Jinju

Monsters are a calamity on par with monstrous beasts, and are even more destructive.

Disaster beasts only cause destruction and slaughter aimlessly and irrationally, while strange people often possess a certain degree of intelligence.

They are harder to eliminate and more secretive, making them a major headache for the Magical Girl Association.

There once lived a powerful eccentric in Kyoto who even took pleasure in hunting magical girls.

But it didn't stay arrogant for long. In a joint operation by all the magical girl associations around Kyoto, this weirdo was completely wiped out.

Tang Feng is a true eccentric.

He only recounted half of his previous conversation with the principal.

The second half of the story is secretive and obscure, contrasting with the innocent and beautiful tone of the first half. It is filled with terrified screams, trembling moans, and humiliating tears, including those of both him and the magical girl.

The second half begins on a damp afternoon when a pink angel descends from the sky.

Unlike her usual dazzling and holy appearance, she looked incredibly disheveled this time. Her delicate and perfect face was covered in blood, and her battle armor, which was not easily damaged, had been torn open with two huge rips, revealing her tender skin underneath.

It was as if an angel had fallen into the dust.

"Danger... Get away from here..."

This was the first and last thing she said to him.

Then, she fainted and collapsed to the ground.

Clearly, she had encountered an unimaginably formidable enemy.

An enemy that even magical girls would find difficult to defeat was extremely dangerous and deadly for Tang Feng, an ordinary middle school student at the time.

When Tang Feng recalled that time, he didn't feel scared at all. Instead, he was trembling uncontrollably with excitement.

The magical girl from his dream was right in front of him, so close, she even spoke to him!

My heart felt like it was about to burst out of my chest.

He carried the pink-clad girl on his back, unleashing a speed unimaginable to normal humans.

The pursuing shadow was blocked by several other colors.

He carried the unconscious pink-clad girl home at breakneck speed and placed her on the sofa.

Looking at the battle-damaged magical girl lying on the sofa, an unparalleled sense of happiness surged through his body, and he was so excited that he was at a loss for what to do.

His heart was racing, his breathing was rapid, and he felt dizzy, as if he had drunk strong liquor. It took him a while to remember to take a towel and wipe the blood off the other person's face.

After being wiped with a towel, the girl's stunningly beautiful appearance was revealed.

It is exactly the same as the figure that often appears in my dreams.

He felt his heart pounding so hard he was about to suffocate, and his vision blurred as he saw shimmering snowflakes due to lack of oxygen, making the girl's figure appear indistinct.

The rush of blood to his brain made him start to lose consciousness. What was he about to do?

He tried to stand up, but his knee hit the coffee table. He cried out in pain and fell back onto the sofa, his hand unconsciously landing on the pink-clad girl.

The soft touch from his hand was like an electric current, piercing through his brain.

Oh, I see.

He remembered; he had come to check the other person's injuries.

Check the injuries, check the injuries, check the injuries...

His brain was trembling as he shuddered and reached out his hands toward the unconscious pink angel.

……

The pink angel has left.

Later, a powerful and strange man approached him.

After being forced to eat a writhing mass of flesh, he did not explode and die, but officially became a monster.

After experiencing many things, he left Kyoto and came to the coastal city to start over.

He is no longer a rebellious teenager; his life experiences have made him more mature, and his encounters with eccentric people have made him stronger. The only thing that remains unchanged is his unwavering passion and longing for magical girls.

"Teacher Tang Feng..."

A soft, sweet voice woke Tang Feng from his reverie.

Tang Feng looked up and saw a petite, exquisitely beautiful girl in a school uniform standing before him, looking like a doll.

She is the student he pays the most attention to, and also the most promising student in the school to become a magical girl, Seiyuki.

Despite her privileged background, she has no airs of a rich young lady; she has a kind heart but is ruthless when it comes to taking action; and despite her warm and cheerful personality, she has an indifferent face that belies her personality.

With outstanding grades and amazing magical talent, she would be among the most outstanding students even in a prestigious magic girls' high school.

"Shengxue, is something the matter? It's past school dismissal time, isn't it?"

"Teacher, did you pass the final assessment?"

A glimmer of hope flickered in Saint Snow's amber-like eyes.

So that's why the other person was waiting for him at the school gate... Tang Feng smiled slightly, didn't keep him in suspense, and told him the answer directly.

"I passed. From now on, I'm a full-time teacher and can stay at the school long-term."

"Very good!"

The girl cheered with joy, but then, as if remembering something, she lowered her head somewhat shyly.

"Teacher, there's something I've been wanting to ask you about."

Seeing Sheng Xue display such an expression, Tang Feng became interested. "In what way?"

"Hmm...psychological counseling," Shengxue whispered.

Tang Feng looked up at the sky; the setting sun was slowly sinking, about to be swallowed by the shadows of the tall buildings.

"Come to the counseling room during break tomorrow," Tang Feng said.

After all, working overtime is impossible.

Shengxue nervously twisted the hem of her school uniform skirt with her fingers, her voice hesitant, "Noon... there might not be enough time between classes..."

Tang Feng glanced at the other person with surprise, but didn't say anything more, and instead agreed to the other person's suggestion.

After telling Shengxue to go home early, Tang Feng also embarked on his journey home.

After a commuting trip of more than ten minutes by tram, Tang Feng walked out of the station. Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, and a piece of reinforced concrete fell at his feet.

"A calamity beast has appeared!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, and the crowd began to riot, scattering and fleeing.

A calamity beast?

Tang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, searching for his target.

If a calamity beast really appeared, how could he not sense it at such close range?

Following the gaze of the crowd, Tang Feng finally spotted the target monster.

But can such weak magic really be considered a calamity beast? It doesn't even qualify as the lowest level of calamity.

Not far down the street ahead, a two-meter-long, mantis-like monster was baring its fangs and claws, lunging at the crowd.

Although the monster's magic was weak, its appearance was extremely terrifying. Its mouthparts, covered with spikes, were constantly writhing, and its forelimbs were a pair of eerie, sharp scythes.

Tang Feng mentally estimated that even without a real magical girl taking action, Sheng Xue, a reserve member skilled in magic, could easily defeat the weak monster in front of him.

But ordinary people are no match for monsters and are currently fleeing in panic as they are pursued by mantis monsters.

Everyone was running away from Tang Feng, but Tang Feng stood still.

Naturally generated monsters wouldn't be this weak; the monster before him was likely man-made. He wanted to see how this farce would end.

The riot didn't last long. A flash of orange light appeared, and the figure of a girl suddenly appeared above the monster.

"Magical Girl Nishiki-tachibana, here on an elimination mission!"

With that, she brandished her magic wand and began a fierce battle with the weak mantis monster.

Upon seeing the arrival of the magical girl, the crowd stopped panicking and fled, instead watching from a distance, with some even taking out their phones to take pictures.

Tang Feng shook his head upon seeing this. There are always daring and fearless people who like to watch. If this monster is even slightly powerful, their supposedly safe distance will become a deadly noose.

He turned to look at the center of the battlefield, where a magical girl was easily overwhelming the monster. Magical projectiles bombarded the mantis monster, leaving it battered and bruised in no time.

However... according to the information he had, there shouldn't be any orange magical girls in Binhai City.

Could it be someone who has just been promoted?

This also aligns with the weak flow of magic around her body.

"The final blow!"

Magical girl Jinju waved her wand, conjuring a huge ball of magical energy. With a gentle push of her wand, the ball of magical energy shot out like a cannonball.

The attack successfully pierced the mantis monster's body, tearing a large hole in its abdomen.

The mantis monster slowly collapsed to the ground, its two huge scythe-like forelimbs hanging limply, lifeless.

Instead of immediately dealing with the monster's remains, the magical girl Jinju landed on the monster's head and gave a "V" sign to the crowd of onlookers taking pictures.

The crowd erupted in cheers.

"Oh! So cute!"

"She looked so cool fighting just now!"

I have a new tweet!

Various "click" sounds and camera flashes kept going off.

After enjoying the adulation of the crowd, Jinju took out a heart-shaped orange gem from her neck. The monster's magical remnants turned into starlight and gathered towards the gem.

In a short while, only a few black, charcoal-like residues remained on the spot, which disappeared without a trace when the wind blew them away.

Tang Feng had already left the spot.

This magical girl gave him a strange feeling.

Recalling the magical girl Jinju's appearance just now, even though she looked very cute, he didn't feel the same excitement he usually felt when facing a magical girl.

Just as Tang Feng was about to ponder the reason, a clear voice came from behind him.

"stop!"

Tang Feng, who was in the alley, did not turn around. He had already sensed the person coming from behind him, who was none other than the magical girl from before.

"Is there something you need?" he asked calmly.

"You're a weirdo, aren't you? Stop pretending, I'm going to carry out justice against you!" Jinju said confidently, already holding up her wand and pointing it in this direction.

"These kinds of quotes are too childish; even a real magical girl would be ashamed to use them."

As Tang Feng complained, his facial bones and muscles began to twist rapidly, transforming into a strange and eerie face.

Although he didn't know how the other party discovered his identity, hiding it was obviously pointless. Since the other party had spoken up like this, it meant that they were already very confident.

Tang Feng, now sporting a strange face, slowly turned around and smiled slightly at Jin Ju.

"If you can tell me how you figured out who I am, I can go easy on you later."

Tang Feng was very curious. Even the most powerful magical girl couldn't see through his disguise. How did this newcomer with only a smattering of knowledge manage to do it?

"I'm not going to waste a single word on you wicked freaks! Take this!"

A magical projectile arrived simultaneously with Jinju's voice. With just the first strike, this magical projectile was even larger than the final ball of light that had just killed the mantis monster.

Jinju has clearly given it her all.

The ball of light accurately hit Tang Feng's location, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance.

Jinju breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although it was her first time facing a monster, her opponent was clearly not going to have an easy time after taking such an attack.

The burst of magical light slowly dissipated, and Tang Feng stood calmly in place.

He tilted his head, feeling the flow of magic, as if talking to himself, "This level of energy fluctuation doesn't even qualify as C-rank. It's too weak, even for a newly minted magical girl."

Jinju stared at her opponent in astonishment. She hadn't expected that her all-out attack would be met without any resistance or evasion, leaving her completely unharmed.

How can this weirdo be so strong?!

He looks just like an ordinary person; he should be weak and easy to bully.

I am no match for this strange man.

After making her decision, Jinju had already begun to consider backing down.

She unleashed several more energy beams, shooting them all at once towards Tang Feng, while simultaneously retreating rapidly.

The magic beam exploded before it made contact with Tang Feng, forming a sky full of magical particles that blocked Tang Feng's movements.

Seeing that Tang Feng didn't catch up, Jin Ju's expression relaxed. She changed to a teasing tone and said to the distant light, "Goodbye, Mr. Weird. Next time we meet, I will defeat you with my own hands."

Before she could finish speaking, Jinju, who was retreating at high speed, bumped into a figure.

"Ouch!"

Jinju fell heavily to the ground, her magic wand also falling to the side.

"Are you alright?" The figure helped her up from the ground and asked with concern.

Jinju took the other person's hand and sat up. She rubbed her sore arm and subconsciously replied, "It's okay."

Wait, why does that voice sound so familiar?

Jinju's expression froze, and her neck slowly twisted as if mechanically, until she saw the face of that figure.

A strange face, belonging to that oddball from just now.

At that moment, that face was smiling warmly at her, but Jinju felt an indescribable chill.

Her palms began to sweat, and a chill ran down her spine.

She was about to fall into the hands of a powerful monster... and she was powerless to resist.

She glanced at the magic wand lying on the roadside; the only thing that gave her the courage to fight back against the monster was no longer in her hand.

Although she didn't think that picking up her wand again would make her a match for the strange man in front of her.

But dying in battle is at least more dignified than this.

The strange creature was mocking her in a bizarre tone, "Didn't your predecessors teach you that the closer a monster is to human form, the more cautious you should be?"

Jinju was filled with regret. She really didn't know this, otherwise she wouldn't have foolishly rushed up alone.

A hand landed on her neck, and Jinju trembled. Goosebumps instantly rose on the skin where the hand touched her.

The hand lifted her by the neck and slowly lifted her up from the ground, suspending her in the air.

"You know what will happen if you fall into the hands of a weirdo, right?"

A sinister voice sounded in her ear, and the force on her neck made it difficult for her to breathe. The combined psychological and physical pressure caused her to begin hallucinating.

"Let me go!"

Jinju started to get scared.

She seemed to see the various horrific deaths of her predecessors at the hands of the monsters. Some were reduced to ashes, while others were tortured beyond recognition. Those unbearable scenes played on a revolving loop in Jinju's eyes.

In reality, she had never seen these scenes before; it was just that Tang Feng used a little trick on the girl.

"No, no! I don't want this to happen!..."

Jinju's mental defenses began to crumble, and she burst into tears. Because her neck was being choked, some of her tears spurted out of her nostrils.

"What makes you think you won't end up like that?" Tang Feng continued to press him with words. "The day you chose to become a magical girl, you should have thought about what would happen if you lost to monsters and monsters, instead of wishfully thinking that you would become a popular idol."

Tang Feng leaned close to the girl's ear, his voice like a devil's whisper.

"Now, it's your turn."

"No!……"

On the verge of collapse, Jinju felt a warm current flowing out from her lower body.
