Why are the magical girls in your area male?

Is she...getting angry?

Since enrolling, this seems to be only the second time I've seen the student council president lose his temper, aside from the incident in the cafeteria a couple of days ago.

So, you're saying that both times they got angry it was because of you?

So, is this considered annoying or what?

No, it's definitely not because I dislike them; I only get angry at people I care about!

so......

She must like me!!

Uh, wait a minute...

Yuanqing, have you forgotten that magical girls can actually be men in disguise?

What if this little girl's real identity is also a man?

No, no, no, that's not right either. We've known this little girl for quite a while now, and everyone at school and in the outside world knows she's the daughter of the Shiomi family.

The president's gender shouldn't be a mystery...

"Oh dear, little president, calm down, calm down!"

Red Sparrow, standing nearby, quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile, "Look, they're all fine! Although the process was a bit thrilling, the result is good!"

What does this show? It shows that our Xiaoyuan is quick-witted, calm under pressure, and knows how to adapt to changing circumstances!

"..."

She turned to Yuan Qing, patted him on the shoulder, and gave him a thumbs up: "Little Yuan, you're really amazing! You were able to think of using the dungeon environment to guide Teacher Toriumi's power in such a desperate situation, and you even managed to turn the tables in the end!"

Hey~ This isn't something you can do with brute force alone! Back when I first awakened, I almost peed my pants when I encountered a C-rank Shadow Beast for the first time, but you, on the other hand, just took down a B-rank one!

That courage and adaptability... wow, so much potential! A truly promising future indeed!

"..."

Dean of Students, please, please stop talking with that overly seductive face and that condescending tone you're using. It's really ruining your appearance!

Just like those sweet girls online who speak with a strong Northeastern accent or a Guangxi accent, they're so hard to resist!

With Red Sparrow smoothing things over, Shiori Shiomi stopped pursuing the matter. As long as people are alive, that's the most important thing.

She lowered her head, pondered for a moment, and then said again, "This is the first time we've encountered something like a copy; there's never been a precedent before."

I'll need to spend some time researching this; I might even have to make a trip to the Tarot Association's main library.

"Tarot...Association?"

Yuan Qing keenly noticed this unfamiliar term.

He had previously suspected that his sister and best friend's labels were quite similar, perhaps indicating they belonged to the same faction. Now it seemed that it was the Tarot Association that the president had mentioned.

"I forgot to introduce you."

Shiori Shiomi tilted her head up, facing him, and slowly explained: "As you think, there aren't many magical girls, but there aren't few either. Currently, there are about thirty active in the Tokyo area."

"so much!?"

Yuan Qing was somewhat surprised.

But what happened next was even more surprising.

Shiori Shiomi continued, "This only includes the magical girls who belong to the Tarot Association, not including those who have left the organization or those who have not yet officially joined."

Besides, there are many others like you who are not magical girls but are 'awakened'.

"Um, could you elaborate?"

"It would take a lot of time to explain this in detail, so let's talk about it another time. I'll just give you a brief overview."

Shiori Shiomi carefully crafted her words and succinctly explained:

"Within the Moon Etching, besides the Tarot Association, there are currently two other large organizations in Japan."

One is the 'Exceptional Measures Committee,' which was secretly reviewed and approved by Parliament and is composed of cross-party members of parliament and enlightened individuals, with the Prime Minister serving as the chairperson.

Another group is the 'Demon Hunter Guild', which was formed spontaneously by members who did not want to join the Countermeasures Committee and be controlled by it. It has a large number of members.

In addition, there are many scattered small forces in Japan, similar to mercenary organizations.

"hiss......"

Yuan Qing rubbed his temples and frowned.

He never expected that the Moon Etching would be so "famous". He thought that very few people could enter this place, but it turns out that even official institutions have "moved in".

It must be said that the state apparatus is indeed powerful. There is a world called "Moon Etching" outside the real world. Such an amazing thing is completely unknown to the outside world.

"What's with that expression? You look so miserable, it's awful," Shiori Shiomi complained, frowning.

“Oh, it’s nothing,” Yuan Qing scratched his head in frustration. “It’s just that anything that gets involved with government agencies becomes quite complicated.”

"Looks like you didn't sleep during your civics class; you have a pretty keen political sense."

The red jay grinned.

"It has nothing to do with civics classes; it's just that I spend a lot of time surfing the internet, so I get a bit involved in everything."

Red Sparrow's smile vanished.

"By the way, I have another question."

With one hand on his hip, Yuan Qing looked at Shiori Shiomi and asked, "Are you referring to the C-rank and B-rank as a power level classification for Shadow Beasts and Magical Girls? What exactly does that mean?"

Volume 1: Chapter 60 This woman is beyond saving

Shiori Shiomi opened her palm, and a ball of light flowing with faint white light appeared out of thin air.

"This is a crystal ball used to test magic power. Magical girls will awaken corresponding magic power based on their own aptitude."

Once a magic level is awakened, it's very difficult to increase it further. In other words, whatever level you were at the time of awakening is basically your level for life.

"Interesting, let me test it?"

As Yuanqing spoke, he reached out his hand, and Shiori Shiomi did not stop him.

However, after a few seconds, the ball of light remained gray and unresponsive.

"President, your battle aura testing tablet is out of power?"

"This is a magical artifact, specifically for testing magical girls. It can only measure the magic power of the Heart Flower. What are you, an 'Awakener,' doing getting involved?"

"?"

Yuan Qing paused for a second, then asked, "So the power systems among Awakened are different?"

"That's one way to understand it, but the ranking is consistent, from highest to lowest, with S being the highest and D the lowest."

What level is my sister?

"Ahhh! President, please stop..."

The moment the question was asked, Kaoru Minamoto shouted from behind, trying to stop Shiori Shiomi.

But the latter's mouth was faster than her legs: "C grade."

Yuan Qing: Trying not to laugh.jpg

"puff!"

I'm sorry, I just couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Ahhhhh!!"

Yuan Xun's face instantly turned red from the roots of her ears to the roots of her neck, looking just like a ripe tomato.

Feeling utterly ashamed and furious, coupled with the immense humiliation of being mocked by her older brother, caused her to explode on the spot:

"What are you laughing at?! You old bastard, I'll fight you to the death!"

She lunged at him, scratching his face like a wildcat, while Yuan Qing dodged and yelled in surprise.

"Mind your image! Image! What kind of C-rank magical girl attacks with cat scratches?"

"How spicy is a C-grade food?! Does a C-grade person eat your rice? You might not even be as spicy as me!"

"You're really eating our rice, hehe~"

The two wrestled together, and the scene became quite chaotic.

Shiori Shiomi frowned and gave Hongque a wink.

The latter immediately burst into laughter, stepped forward, grabbed Yuan Xun by the back of her collar, and easily lifted her up like a kitten:

"Alright, alright, our little Snow Owl, calm down. Don't hold a grudge against that brat."

"Hmph! I'll deal with him when I get home!"

Yuan Xun was lifted up in mid-air and angrily waved her claws at Yuan Qing a few times before retreating to the side to sulk.

Yuan Qing watched all this and felt both helpless and amused.

Oh dear, this is troublesome. I'm definitely going to get a beating from that little girl when I get home.

But that's all...

Yuan Qing turned his gaze to the others, subtly analyzing their attributes in his mind:

【Name: Caiyun Xuexiao, Level: 27 (C)】

【Name: Zhejing Danzhu, Level: 48 (B)】

【Name: Burning-Eyed Red Sparrow, Level: 55 (A)】

【Name: Jingliu Baihuang, Level: 59 (A)】

As expected, the system can see their levels in magical girl form.

Hmm, Shiori Shiomi is actually the highest-ranking among them? No wonder she seems to be in control and in charge.

Level 59...

If she goes berserk, she could probably chop herself up with one knife, right?

I make her angry every day, and I'm still alive. What else could this be but true love?

She definitely likes me!

Keke, get back to business.

I am currently level 21, which is roughly the same level as my younger sister according to their level system.

However, Shiori Shiomi just stated that from the moment a magical girl awakens her Heart Flower, her magical power level is basically fixed and will not increase in the future.

And you can upgrade infinitely, focusing on a special feature.

Tsk, this setting is a bit too classic. Is this what they call the protagonist's halo?

Shiori Shiomi opened her right hand and glanced at the hourglass made of magic; time seemed to be running out.

She stopped the conversation and said, "Alright, that's enough for today. If you have any questions, come find me tomorrow and I'll explain it to you in detail. Also, go back and write a self-criticism, and hand it in to me when you go to school."

"Oh...hey! What the hell is this 'self-criticism'? This isn't school!"

Shiori Shiomi ignored Aoi Minamoto's complaints and walked straight to Riki Toriumi, who had been hiding on a park bench in the distance.

The latter timidly raised his head and gave her a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Why are you hiding so far away? Did you hear what I just said?

"Uh... I heard it."

Toriumi Ritsuki's cheeks flushed slightly.

What else could she say?

Now that things have come to this, does she still dare to say that it's because her skirt is wet and she's afraid the other person will notice?

"I'm glad you heard that, Mr. Toriumi. I'm very dissatisfied with your performance today. I've already taught you how to use magic."

Even in a semi-awakened state, as long as you do as I say, you can easily control it.

You nearly killed your student today. I hope you'll learn your lesson. Don't forget, your magical aptitude is A-level. Theoretically, you could easily crush a B-level shadow beast like the Night Hound without taking any damage.
