Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 329 Arrival
While many young magical girls in the Silver Corridor were still trying to form teams, a door was opened in a luxurious hall in an ancient building somewhere in the academy area.

Countless magical girls who served the royal court stood at the door. No one spoke, and no one looked up. All of them lined up on both sides of the gate, swearing allegiance to a certain existence in silence with a respectful and solemn attitude.

There were footsteps inside the gate.

The footsteps came closer and closer, until at some point they reached the junction of the door frames, and then they stepped into the space without any hesitation.

They were a group of solemn-looking girl knights wearing armor and uniforms. Their clothes were not fancy like those of ordinary magical girls, but neat and uniform. The black, or rather the black and gray uniforms added a sense of solemnity to their ranks. They stood straight and upright, looking straight ahead, with vigilance in their eyes, as if the whole world could become their enemy at any time.

The neat procession marched quickly forward with the sound of armor clashing, and walked out of the gate. Following closely behind, surrounded by these knights, were two gorgeously dressed women.

In other words, one looks like a "female" and the other a "girl".

The "woman" was wrapped in a black monastic robe with luxurious decorations. She wore a mask over her eyes, and in the center of the mask, above the bridge of her nose, there was a blood-red ruby. She had a faint smile on her lips, and except for the steps she moved with the team, her whole body was lifeless, like a walking puppet.

As for the "girl", she was wearing a white princess dress and a light pink diamond necklace around her neck. Her light pink hair was tied into a pair of low ponytails below her head, which fell down along her shoulders with slightly curled ends. She raised her head proudly, folded her arms, and looked at the hall outside the door with an expression that seemed to be dissatisfied with everything she saw.

All the magical girls present knew these two people, or in other words, as long as they worked in the royal court, they knew them - the Ruby Scepter and the Diamond Scepter were already the two people at the top of the power in the entire magical kingdom.

However, even these two only exist as supporting roles in the team at this time. Although they are surrounded by many knights, they are actually still just walking to pave the way for someone.

About a few meters behind them was a completely deserted area.

It's not quite accurate to say it's a vacuum. It should be said that there's only one person in the entire area.

It was a petite figure who walked through the door of the hall alone. Her footsteps were so light that they were almost inaudible, but each one of them stepped on the heartbeat of everyone present. Although the sound was light, it was like the trembling of a mountain.

There was a hazy glow all around her, and it was as if there was a layer of fog blocking her, so that no one could see her true appearance. The only thing that could be seen was her waist-length black hair and the small, jeweled crown on her head.

silence.

Except for the two jeweled scepters, all the magical girls almost held their breath. Apart from the sound of the guards' advancing footsteps, there was no noise at the scene.

It was not until the entire team passed through the gate and two guards with wings on their backs walked out from behind the gate and gently closed the gate that the atmosphere on the scene became a little more relaxed.

In the "Five Capitals" of the country, each city has a gate leading to the Rose Palace.

However, the right of passage through this gate cannot be used at will, even by the rulers of the Five Cities and Five Courts, that is, the Gem Scepter. Only in an emergency can one pass through this gate to the Rose Palace to report the situation.

Apart from these, the only one who can travel freely, and even have a team of people accompanying her, is the Queen herself.

——"Who here is from the Demonic Court?"

After a moment of silence, the girl in a white princess dress and light pink hair walked in the middle of the team and said, "Are you ready for today's test?"

"Reporting to Lord Purple Diamond, it is us."

A magical girl walked out from the crowd and answered the girl carefully: "Now, the assessment should be about to begin."

"Hmph... then it looks like the timing is perfect."

The girl called "Purple Diamond" narrowed her eyes slightly, with a scrutinizing look on her face: "Come to think of it, I remember saying that one of you was the invigilator of the written examination?"

"That's right." The magical girl lowered her eyes, not daring to look at the girl.

"Did something go wrong during the written test?" However, the girl's merciless voice still came from above her head.

"……Yes."

The magical girl of the Magic Academy pursed her lips and replied softly, "There are dangerous people with unknown intentions who tricked the candidates into using chaos magic in the examination room."

"What's the result of the investigation? Who did it?" The girl said in a bad tone, "They dared to cause trouble at such an important occasion, and they actually succeeded. Your Magic Affairs Institute and Research Institute are really becoming more and more useless."

The magical girl from the Magic House didn't dare to retort and could only stammer, "Not yet..."

"not yet?"

The girl's voice, which had already dropped to zero temperature, echoed in the lobby.

"How many days have passed since the incident? One day, or two days? Are you saying that His Majesty is about to go to the Silver Corridor to watch the ceremony, but your people haven't cleared the dangers at the scene yet?"

"I'm sorry." The magical girl from the Magic House continued to lower her head.

"I'm talking to you, why aren't you looking at me?"

The girl continued to question: "Don't you people from the Demon Affairs Institute even know how to report your work?"

"...I'm sorry." The magical girl raised her head, her eyes slightly red.

"I've made it to this position, but I can't even do my job properly. I just cry when I encounter problems."

The girl folded her arms with a look of disdain on her face:

"It's the only one of the five academies that has the honor of being directly under His Majesty's control, but everyone in your Magic Affairs Academy is so lazy and useless... It's really disgusting."

Her words caused all the members of the Demonic Affairs Institute present to look away from her.

No one likes to be insulted in such an occasion, but the person who said this is the Diamond Scepter, and behind the Diamond Scepter, there is someone watching everything. Even if they want to defend themselves, they will worry about whether they will say something wrong and lead to more serious consequences.

The atmosphere at the scene, which had finally relaxed a little, began to become solemn again. Just when everyone was watching their noses and mouths, ready to greet a storm, another voice interrupted everything.

——"The time to set off has come."

The woman in black monastic robes and a mask covering her eyes spoke. She whispered in a hoarse and magnetic voice: "Everything is ready, so we should not waste time."

"What do you mean?" The girl turned around and looked at the woman in nun robes.

"It's time to go to the examination room." The woman in monastic robes turned to the girl, her eyes seemed to penetrate the blindfold: "Your Majesty is looking forward to watching this ceremony."

The girl opened her eyes slightly and glanced back at the figure behind her, but the figure still stood there motionless, not saying a word.

But even so, the girl did not cast any more glances, but closed her eyes and said indifferently: "The people from the Demonic Affairs Institute will lead the way."

"Yes, OK!"

The magical girl from the Demonic Academy was immediately pardoned, and walked to the front of the team with several other members, acting as a guide.

The team started moving again.

Silent, solemn, and low. Probably no one had ever thought that in the "Year of the Queen", which should have been a very festive year, the team from the royal court would have such an atmosphere.

However, no one present thought there was anything wrong with this. Supreme power should be accompanied by supreme majesty. No one would question it, and no one would reflect on it. The huge crowd passed through the hall, walked out of another door, and left this ancient building.

The petite figure walking in the vacuum area paused slightly before stepping out of the door.

The bright sunlight shone through the figure and onto the magnificent ground, but did not leave any shadow.
