Tokyo: Magical Girl Shatters My Dream of Going Public

Chapter 117 Justice Descends! (2/5)

Chika had half her body already leaning into the back seat of the chariot, her voice still carrying the excitement from before.

"President! Hikari has been kidnapped again! Now Hikari is the only savior left in the school—"

However, the words got stuck in his throat again the next second.

Because she saw someone in the passenger seat.

He sat there quietly, his gaze calmly fixed on her from behind his glasses.

Teacher Xuecun!

Chika froze.

That already not-so-bright brain instantly came to a terrifying conclusion.

Oh no, the company president has also been "arrested".

A chill ran down her spine, and the excited expression on her face instantly froze, turning into a stiff look of someone caught doing something wrong.

She forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, and began to quietly shrink back.

"Um, I think I got on the wrong bus."

Hoshino was captured, and now even their hideout has been wiped out by the teacher!?

Just as her toes were about to touch the ground.

"Come on up," Kurokawa's voice came from the front row, calm and indifferent.

Chika paused.

"Teacher Yukimura is assisting with tonight's operation," Kurokawa added, turning his head slightly. "He's not here to arrest anyone."

Chika and Kaoru, who had just walked to the car, were both stunned.

Assistant?

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with suspicion.

Xun secretly clenched her fingers; her first reaction was the same as Qianxia's.

Was the president coerced? For example, was he caught using some kind of leverage against him?

At this moment, Yukimura also turned his head and looked at them.

"Get in the car first," she said, her tone gentler than before, but the teacher's authority remained.

The two then nervously climbed into the back seat.

The car door closed.

The car was spacious, but the atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

Chika and Kaoru sat side by side, their backs ramrod straight, their hands neatly placed on their knees, and they even deliberately kept their breathing soft.

They were "wrong" even more than Saki.

Saki was merely an observer and recorder, while they—were actually fighting against those inhuman beings.

If Professor Xuecun really wants to pursue this matter—

After a moment of silence, Xuecun suddenly spoke softly, "If this is your own choice," she paused, her voice steady, "I won't say anything more."

She turned her head and glanced at the two tense girls in the back seat.

"But in any case—you must be careful."

The words fell.

Chinatsu and Kaoru both breathed a sigh of relief almost simultaneously. Their shoulders slumped slightly, and their breaths, which had been held back, began to flow smoothly again.

I'm not here to hold them accountable; I'm here because I'm genuinely worried about them.

The atmosphere inside the car instantly eased considerably, and Qianxia immediately regained her courage.

She leaned forward, gripping the back of the driver's seat, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Kurokawa: "President, President! What exactly happened during the day? How could Yukimura-sensei—?"

She was full of curiosity.

Kurokawa was about to explain when... Boom!!

A dull, loud bang came from the direction of the school without warning!

It felt as if something heavy had crashed to the ground, and even the chariots parked not far away felt a slight tremor.

All four of them shuddered simultaneously.

Kurokawa immediately looked up and gazed in the direction of the teaching building.

In the darkness of night, the building still stood silently, but a kind of unsettling "aura" seemed to be spreading from within.

Salvation Light —

The enemy has been found.

The brief moment of relaxation inside the car vanished completely.

Kurokawa didn't say a word.

A finger swipes quickly across the control panel to bring up commands.

Several drones hovered in mid-air above the school, in a stealthy standby state.

The cameras on the belly of the aircraft adjusted their focus and turned in unison toward the track and field stadium on the east side.

The screen instantly switched to the in-vehicle terminal, and the bright white light illuminated the faces of the four people inside the car.

The image is a bit shaky, but clear enough.

On the synthetic track of the athletic field, a hunched figure was struggling to get up.

The monster was about the height of a person, its torso twisted unnaturally, and its skin a dull dark gray, like aged cement.

It has no eyes, no nose, and its entire face consists of only a torn mouth.

It seemed to have just been blasted away by a tremendous force, crashing through the outer wall of the teaching building and creating a huge hole, before finally coming to a stop, tumbling over.

Brick fragments and dust slowly drifted down around it.

The camera then pans to the hole.

A figure emerged from the billowing smoke and dust.

Savior Light, no, she should now be called the magical girl [Justice].

She completed her transformation.

The original school uniform was replaced by a light gold tutu.

Her chest, elbows, knees, and other areas were covered with light armor interwoven with silver and light gold, with smooth and sharp lines.

She held a huge two-handed sword that was almost as tall as her.

What is most striking is the pair of wings behind her made of pure light.

It is not a physical entity, yet it stretches out, scattering fragments of starlight.

Besides that, the most distinctive feature is undoubtedly the clearly visible golden wing mark in the center of her chest.

Holy, powerful, inhuman.

The car was deathly silent.

Yukimura stared intently at the screen, his pupils trembling slightly.

After witnessing it with her own eyes, the last shred of hope she had held onto vanished completely.

Her worldview completely collapsed; this world—it's truly gone mad!

But the video continued to play.

[Justice] raised his sword, the tip pointing at the gray monster that had just risen.

Kurokawa stared at the screen, his fingertips quickly tapping across the control panel without hesitation.

The instruction has been issued.

Several orange drones hovering at a higher altitude responded simultaneously.

The shielding module on the belly of the aircraft was activated, and dark blue energy ripples spread out, intertwining and connecting in the air.

An invisible, enormous membrane of light, like an inverted bowl, slowly descended, enveloping the entire school.

From this moment on, even if the world inside is turned upside down, the outside world will remain completely silent.

Within the curtain, the battle continues.

[Justice] Carrying a giant sword, he stepped forward.

"Finally found you." Her voice came through the drone's microphone, tinged with relief. "I thought you were hiding in another school building—turns out you've been here all along."

The faceless man's face, which only had a mouth, turned towards her, making a strange "gaa-gaa" sound from his throat, like the turning of an old door hinge.

The next second, its hunched figure suddenly blurred; it wasn't moving, but melting.

Like ink dripping into water, it sank completely into its own shadow at its feet and disappeared instantly.

"snort."

[Justice] seems to have been anticipated.

She patted the bow tie on her chest with her left hand, and two crystal cores shot out, hovering in mid-air, swirling with different colored halos.

One is fiery red, the other is bright yellow.

She swung her greatsword horizontally with her right hand, precisely aligning the two grooves on the blade with the crystal core.

Click. Click.

The crystal core was embedded perfectly, the sword hummed, and its brilliance shone brightly.

At the same time, the pair of wings of light behind her suddenly unfurled and expanded!

The light solidified, and with a flap of her wings—

She rose up from the ground, ascended into the air, and hovered above the school buildings under the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, she raised the greatsword high above her head.

The two crystal cores embedded in the sword simultaneously erupted with dazzling light, their fiery red and bright yellow mingling into a scorching ball of light that enveloped her entire body.

Like a miniature sun, it was born in the night sky.

"Light it up—!"

She gave a clear shout.

Light poured down.

It was not an attack, but pure "light".

A powerful and pure stream of incandescent white light flooded the entire track and field, swallowing up every inch of shadow.

On the ground, all the shadows, upon contact with the light, contracted and vanished rapidly, like living things being scalded.

"Gah!!!"

A piercing scream erupted from a shadow that was about to be swallowed by the light.

The faceless man was forced to reveal his true form.

It huddled at the edge where light and shadow met, its dark gray skin hissing and emitting wisps of black smoke under the bright light.

It desperately tried to burrow into the darkness, but the light was everywhere.

inside the car.

Chika and Kaoru held their breath, their eyes fixed on the screen.

This was the first time they had witnessed a magical girl battling a vengeful spirit.

That crystal core—embedded in the body, triggering a change in abilities—

so similar.

It is remarkably similar to the company's "plug-in system".

The only difference is the form of expression; one relies on equipment compatibility, while the other relies on its own resonance.

Kaoru watched calmly, pondering just how strong the magical girl's fighting power really was.

Chika was more excited than thoughtful, her pupils reflecting the light of that "little sun," and she silently exclaimed "Wow!"

Xuecun stared blankly.

She didn't understand combat, she didn't understand energy. All she saw was that transfer student radiating light, flying, and dispelling the darkness.

Wow, that's amazing!

She had only one thought in her mind.

Absurd yet real.

However, at that moment, Justice, which was suspended in mid-air, suddenly made a move that surprised everyone.

With her free left hand, she took off the light gold crystal that had always hung at her waist.

She tightened her knuckles, lowered her head, and whispered something to the crystal.

The voice, picked up by the drone, clearly reached the ears of everyone in the car: "Mom."

"We've had an extra meal."

next second.

Inside the crystal, the wisp of dark purple mist that had been slowly moving suddenly boiled!

It swelled and struggled wildly, as if it had finally waited for the right time to hatch.

*Pfft*

A sticky, soft sound.

The dark, inky substance was forcibly "squeezed" out of the crystal.

It twists, stretches, and shapes in the air —

Ultimately, it transformed into a "long strip-shaped" monster that was over twenty meters long and as thick as a water bucket.

It was completely black, and its surface was covered with a viscous, dripping asphalt-like liquid.

It has no clear head or tail; both ends are ferocious mouths that open and close continuously, covered with ring-shaped sharp teeth.

It writhed slowly in the air, emanating a malice and—hunger—far more intense than that of the faceless man below.

inside the car.

The three people from Yukimura stared wide-eyed at the same time.

Breathing has stopped.

What is that?!
