Magical Girl in the Superhero World

What is all this nonsense?!

Bai Xiaoxiao was so angry she almost smashed her phone. She ate several dumplings in a loud gulp before she could barely swallow her anger.

Mo Xiaochuan noticed that his expression was off at this moment.

So he opened his phone, and before he could even browse through it, his good friend sent him a related video.

"Oh~"

After watching the video, Mo Xiaochuan's eyes lit up: "What's the name of this magical girl? Her abilities are so cool, elegant yet deadly."

"Especially that final close-range slash, it was so elegant! It was like dancing a waltz. I think I've become a fan of hers."

"Right?! I think so too!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly.

The two seemed to have suddenly found common ground and began to chatter on and on.

Mo Xiaochuan was saying how cool and awesome Hell's abilities were, while Bai Xiaoxiao was ranting about those brainless netizens.

Both sides gave their own accounts, and in the end, they both felt that the other side was right.

Mo Zhen quietly ate his sauerkraut dumplings, keeping his merits hidden.

The next morning.

Taipingzhou·Ministry of Magic:

An emergency meeting was held inside a classic church in an old neighborhood, where many of the leaders had been summoned at the last minute.

Those who couldn't make it in time participated via projector.

Chapter Thirty-Two: The Ministry of Magic Meeting

Ministry of Magic:

Inside a classic church.

Seated at the head of the long conference table made of golden nanmu wood was a black-haired woman dressed in a mage's uniform, who appeared to be around forty years old.

This person is the current Minister of Magic, and also a former magical girl who voluntarily gave up her powers and chose to retire.

She looked at the group of people with their heads down, her tone cold and reserved: "Did you all see the new video that Moon Studio released yesterday? What are your thoughts?"

Those who could participate in this meeting were all heads of the Ministry of Magic from various regions, with the heads of Tianhe City and Liberty City holding the highest positions, second only to her.

Upon hearing this...

The person in charge of Tianhe City spoke first:

“Minister, I believe this is a complete provocation. That gray-haired magical girl has completely violated the Ministry of Magic’s regulations. It is a provocation against our Ministry of Magic and a transgression of the rules.”

"Magical girls are not allowed to harm ordinary people. This is the bottom line of the law, and also the bottom line of being a human being!"

Hu Xueting: The head of Tianhe City, in her early thirties, is also a retired magical girl who has found new employment.

Her words drew nods of agreement from the crowd, who then chimed in:

"That's right, I also think we should immediately issue a statement condemning and ordering Luna Studio and the Giant Capital behind them to ban this magical girl's debut."

"I agree! The Ministry of Magic will never allow someone who tarnishes the reputation of magical girls to appear in the public eye. Such a person should be thrown into the witch punishment facility."

"I agree. That murderous magical girl was obviously no good. I wonder where she came from, like a stray cat."

"This kind of person will become a witch sooner or later. I also agree that, according to the regulations, she should be locked up in the punishment center and her magic circuits should be abolished."

As Hu Xueting listened to everyone's words, she couldn't help but nod slightly in her heart; these were exactly the words she wanted to hear.

The vast majority of people present were women, with an average age of over thirty, and their statements were highly consistent, completely opposing the debut of this new magical girl.

The only difference is Liberty City.

The person in charge of the area was a man, a middle-aged man who looked quite ordinary.

He was even a little bald, wore a suit and bow tie, was somewhat overweight, and looked remarkably like Churchill.

Merlin Metal: Head of the Ministry of Magic in Liberty City. Although not a magical girl, she is the representative specially appointed by the United Government.

He didn't rush to speak, but instead focused on stirring the hot tea in front of him, adding three packets of lethal sugar.

Take a small sip.

Wow, this tastes delicious!

After everyone else had finished speaking, Merlin cleared his throat twice and began to speak in a very authentic London accent:

"Gentlemen, how about I say a few words?"

A smile appeared on his chubby face, which made Hu Xueting frown slightly, feeling particularly displeased that a man was occupying the position of the person in charge of Liberty City.

The Pacific State Ministry of Magic originated from a magic seminar founded by a group of self-taught magicians, which was later incorporated into the government.

With the arrival of the new century, magical girls emerged, and weak magicians gradually faded from the historical stage.

The retired magical girls, represented by the current Minister of Magic and Hu Xueting, took over power from the magicians through their past achievements and seniority, completing a peaceful transfer of authority.

They also released the first "Magical Girl Taboo Regulations" and "Magical Girl Business Standardization Guidelines".

Now, fifteen years later, the power held by Hu Xueting and others in the Ministry of Magic is unshakeable.

The Ministry of Magic, which was originally balanced between men and women, has thus become 90% women and 10% men, with the remaining 10% being a strict requirement imposed by the United Government.

Worth to talk about.

For magical girls, "retirement" refers to a common phenomenon where magical girls suddenly lose their powers around the age of 18.

Magical girls who are over this age and have not yet "retired" will be placed on the Ministry of Magic's "high risk of becoming witches" list and will need to receive treatment and management from the Ministry of Magic.

As for why magical girls suddenly lose their powers at this age, that remains a mystery.

A professor once attempted to delve deeper into the research, but was hanged the following day.

However, there are rumors circulating that girls who still possess magical powers after the age of 18 are the ones who have truly gained magical recognition.

Those who lost their power did so because their dreams were no longer pure.

Merlin's gaze swept over the crowd, and he spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Ms. Hu Xueting, first of all, I feel it is necessary for me to correct you. The gray-haired magical girl in the video did not harm any ordinary people."

"The man who died at her hands was the criminal Ripper, a super criminal who had lost his human rights under the Third Amendment to the 'Superhuman Law'."

"You shouldn't label her as someone who harms ordinary people without knowing the full story."

"Secondly, according to the Superhuman Law, the child's actions did not violate any law in the State of Pacific."

"Although she violated the Ministry of Magic's rule against killing, the other party was neither a Ministry of Magic official nor an official magical girl."

"From any perspective, we have neither the right nor the authority to order Giant God Corporation to block the other party."

"Furthermore, and most importantly, as long as this magical girl hasn't broken any laws, even if she's turned into a witch, as long as she hasn't harmed anyone."

“Then we have neither the right nor the qualification to forcibly lock her in the disciplinary center, let alone the severe punishment of abolishing her magic circuits.”

After Merlin finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and said, "I'm done. Thank you."

Slip.

Delicious taste, no wonder it's called Oriental Leaf.

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the meeting room, followed by a burst of argument from the ladies.

“I think Mr. Merlin has a point. We shouldn’t judge the other party without their consent when they haven’t done anything wrong.”

The youngest person in charge, wearing glasses and carrying a book, spoke up timidly.

But the next second, her words were drowned out by the voices of the other women.

"I object! I still believe that this gray-haired murderer will do it again after the first time. Someone with such bad character should absolutely not be allowed to debut."

“I also object. A magical girl who has killed someone can’t turn back. She should be banned and sent to a disciplinary center.”

"..."

Hu Xueting remained silent, giving the bespectacled girl sitting at the end a cold glare.

Lin Xiaohong: The newly appointed head of the Whale Sea District, the youngest at just over 17 years old, is an official magical girl currently in office.

Xiao Hong was glared at and quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet her boss's gaze, for fear that he would scold her mercilessly.

Hu Xueting then spoke:

“Mr. Merlin, putting aside the facts, shouldn’t this gray-haired murderer be tried? That’s a human life. Even if the Ripper is a criminal, a criminal’s life is still a life.”

"Are we supposed to wait until she becomes a witch, causing countless civilian casualties and leaving people homeless, before we start trying to fix things after the fact?"

"Furthermore, I must remind you that the location of this magical girl's crime is in Tianhe City, which falls under my jurisdiction. It is not your place to instruct me."

Upon hearing this, Merlin's lips drooped slightly, and he shrugged.

"Okay, since you've put it that way, I have nothing more to say. You can continue."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pulled at his mouth as if zipping up a zipper, announcing that he would no longer speak.

Hu Xueting sneered inwardly, then began discussing the investigation into the magical girl with the other responsible persons.
