Sakura Emma, ​​I'm going to control you fiercely!

She couldn't even imagine what kind of danger Emma might face.

Swallowing hard, Naoka walked quickly toward the door.

The closer we get, the more anxious we become.

What if... what if, when she opens the door, she finds Emma Sakura's corpse?

Could her final words to herself, "I can manage on my own," be the swan song of Emma Sakura, this genius magical girl?

Such an excellent and noble magical girl died at the hands of a mere blue-level remnant...

Nanoha Kaori doesn't want to see such an unfair reality.

In her jumbled thoughts, her hand reached for the doorknob—

squeak-

But before Nanoha could open the door, it opened by itself.

A shimmering pink light peeked out from the crack in the door and reflected in Nanoha Kaori's eyes.

The girl in pink and white who opened the door was casting a detached glance at Nanoha Kaori, just like always…

Naoya Kaori breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully...nothing happened.

Snap, snap...

Then, Naoka heard the sound of liquid dripping.

She then noticed that Emma Sakura was casually holding something.

Naoya Kaori saw what it was in the darkness and her eyes widened slightly.

Emma Sakura's right hand was casually holding a huge head that was still dripping with engine oil, just like she was holding a discounted watermelon she had just bought from the supermarket!

Nanoha Kaori sensed a strong witch factor.

She recognized her:

That's the head of a blue-level wreck!

She looked at Emma Sakura in disbelief, her tone inadvertently becoming accusatory.

"This...you did this?!"

Seeing Nanoha's expression as if she had seen a ghost, Emma disgustedly shook the oil off her hands and casually tossed the blue-level head at Nanoha's feet like trash.

"boom."

The head rolled twice on the ground, and its unseeing mechanical eyes were pointed directly at Nanoha Kaori, startling her so much that she froze.

Then, Emma Sakuraba said:

"I made it. Pretty cool, right?"

"Amazing, amazing..."

Naoya Kaori nodded blankly, watching helplessly as the remains of the head gradually dissipated into black smoke.

A white-level magical girl defeating a blue-level wreckage... This cannot be summed up with just the word "amazing".

At that moment, Nanoha Kaori subconsciously looked at Sakura Emma's entire body.

To her surprise, Emma Sakura was still wearing that light and neat pink dress. There wasn't a single stain or damage from the battle.

Naoya Kaori's lips twitched slightly.

This guy destroyed the blue-level remnant without suffering any damage?

She's just a white-level magical girl?

No, that's not right...

Nanoha Kaori realized something was wrong and sensed the magic power on Emma.

Naoka exclaimed in surprise.

"How did your magic level suddenly become so high?!"

Like water about to overflow from a cup, Emma Sakura is just one step away from reaching the white rank.

Emma glanced at the panel.

【Sakura Emma Lv29 (White Level)】

[Requires 556 Black Filth to reach Blue Rank (Lv30)]

The black filth covering her body caused Sakura Emma to level up to level 29.

然而白级的最后等级——29级，突破到蓝级30级所需要的黑色污秽，多达1000。是20级→21的整整5倍，也是28→29的3倍多。

Even a blue-level remnant, plus the black filth obtained from indiscriminate killing during the previous [Eclipse Phase], only raised Emma from 27 to 29 and made up for less than half of the 1000 black filth.

Right now, she's obsessively furious about the difference in her final experience points!

This pain was worse than death.

Just then, Emma caught a glimpse of two bulging black plastic bags that Nanoha was carrying.

Inside, there was a large amount of black debris that Nanoha Kaori had silently picked up like a timid wife while sweeping through the streets.

And so, next, Nanoha Kaori received Emma's first passionate gaze.

Emma stepped forward and tightly grasped Nanoha Kaori's hands, which were carrying the bag.

"I would call you my most useful teammate!"

Nanoha Kaori: "Hahaha..."

What's this guy suddenly saying?

Weren't you disappointed in me before?

Volume 1: Chapter 61 Upgrade

After defeating "big monsters" like Remains and Familiars, they will drop an extra black substance resembling residue.

This black substance is also black filth.

But one thing that Yang Wen found unclear was that he had to pick up this black substance himself.

During the previous [Eclipse] raid, Yang Wen was rushing to complete the mission and didn't have time to pick up the fallen black substances.

However—Kurobe Nanoha gave him a huge surprise:

This great teammate not only helps pick up dropped items, but also provides crucial support: completing Emma's last remaining Black Sludge!

The two full bags of black filth totaled approximately 600. Emma currently has 556 vacancies.

Therefore, the black filth brought by Nanoha Kaori is enough for her to reach level 30—that is, blue level!

Yang Wenyuan called Naoya Xiang "the second most useful NPC in this game"!

Hannah and Sherry tied for first place.

In addition, there were also a large number of white-level echoes in the bag, which Emma glanced at briefly and then lost interest in.

Yang Wen's assessment was: It was not as good as Emma's basic attack, so Bei Bei swallowed it all into her stomach (backpack).

Inside the underground parking lot. As Emma broke apart the black residue one by one and began to absorb it, Beibei rushed over as well.

"Ow~"

The little guy seemed very grateful to her as well, after all, it had eaten four white-level remains in one go.

【Beibei Lv21→Lv25】

As Yang Wen controlled Emma to break apart the residue, he vaguely sensed Bei Bei's upgrade pattern.

It seems that Beibei levels up every time she eats a remnant of the same level.

For example, when Beibei is at the white level, she can level up by consuming one white-level remnant. And so on.

This upgrade efficiency is much higher than Emma's.

"Emma needs to work harder on her side."

Emma also heard the whispers of the gods.

She felt the magic power within her growing stronger, and her lower abdomen felt warm...

The overwhelming feeling throughout her body was undoubtedly telling Emma that she was constantly becoming stronger, and that she was trying to break through a major barrier!

But the deity actually said we still need to work harder...

Emma remembered that she had only become a magical girl a few days ago. And yet, with His help, she was about to reach the so-called Blue Rank in just a few days.

I don't know how fast the other magical girls level up, but judging from Nanoha-senpai's expression just now, the leveling speed of me, controlled by the god, must be terrifying...

If Nanoha knew Emma's thoughts, she would only nod in agreement.

Nanoha Kaori waited outside the door for Emma inside the parking lot.

In more fantastical terms, she was protecting Emma.

According to the normal leveling speed of magical girls, it would take a girl with average talent about a year to advance to the blue rank.

The upgrade method involves using the black residue Emma just picked up, which is then processed by the Magic Bureau into an absorbable form to enhance magical power.

Between the white and blue ranks, there is an obstacle like a "wall" called "Magic Ascension." Magical girls who want to advance must break through this "wall" to reach the blue rank and increase their strength several times over compared to the white rank.

According to the usual practice of the Magic Bureau, it would take an ordinary magical girl several months to break through this wall.

This was Nanoha Kaori's original understanding, because she had also come from this experience.

However, Emma Sakuraba is completely different.

Nanoha Kaori released a subtle magical perception, sensing the flow of magical energy from Sakura Emma inside the door.

Emma Sakura's magic is breaking through to the blue level at an extremely terrifying speed!

Every second, Emma's magical power increases significantly!

Naoya Kaori felt a chill run down her spine.

She had heard that Emma hadn't even been a magical girl for a week yet, right?

Not only is her leveling speed ridiculously fast, but even the final "wall" between white and blue levels is completely ignored by Sakura Emma.

If other magical girls break through "walls" by slowly prying them apart bit by bit, then Emma Sakuraba is violently demolishing them with a hammer!

Blue level, it's confirmed they'll arrive tonight.

In just one week, I went from white level to blue level...

Naoya Kaori couldn't quite describe her feelings at that moment.

Envy? Surprise? Even fear?

They all carry a little bit, more or less.

But there's still a lot of "sighing" about it...

Not long after, Emma Sakura's magic finally broke through that "wall".

call--

A violent pink magical hurricane suddenly erupted from the depths of the basement!

The already precarious iron gate was uprooted by the shockwave and slammed against the wall with a loud crash, shattering into pieces.

Naoka, covering her skirt, hid behind a pillar to avoid the hurricane. She was actually quite frightened by the magic!

What's going on with this total amount of magic power?

Is the total amount of magic power of Emma Sakura, who just advanced to the Blue Rank, a little too high?

Although she can't compare to the veteran blue-rank magical girls, she's already far superior to the newcomers who have just been promoted to blue rank.

Naoka, disregarding the aloofness of her so-called senior, hurriedly looked into the room.

A bright pink light filled the entire underground parking lot. Gusts of magical wind blew out, making Nanoha Kaori's hair fly wildly.

Emma Sakura stood right in the center of that pink light, her expression neither joyful nor sorrowful.

It was as if such powerful magic was meant to be this way.
