Starting with magical girls, I'll reign supreme for eternity.

Li Yi immediately recognized the first one as the one Senior Hyacinth had taught them, the second one as the one Coco had asked her about how to make the magic defense more powerful, and the third one as the method of controlling the flow of magic from Dandelion.

The fourth one is Peony's Heavenly Eye? When did you consult Peony about it?

One skill contains four ways to enhance it.

When did Coco become so strong?

"I'm ready, Ms. Shion!"

Li Yi immediately held her breath.

Across from them, the girl in purple pointed to their rounded fingertips, and a ball of purple magic began to gather and grow larger.

There was no change in nature or form; it was simply the condensation of magical energy, and then, it exploded!

It carved a terrifying trench in the ground, moving at a slow but incredibly oppressive speed as it rushed toward the three of them!

"A mediocre work, the second one!"

The crimson magic in front of Coco unfolded layer by layer, like blooming flowers, each petal making the barrier thicker.

"The Crimson Lotus Ring of Severance!"

Faster, stronger, and the magic flows more delicately!

Coco even took a moment to turn around and say, "Don't worry, Yiyi, I'll protect you!"

Li Yi was somewhat lost in thought.

Panting heavily, even though she was almost at her limit, she still turned around with a smile to comfort the person behind her.

"Don't worry, sister, I will protect you."

The past figure overlapped with Coco.

When you turn your head, you can see more than just your sister's gaze.

Those gazes filled with fear, anticipation, adoration, and unease.

All those countless strangers she protected were behind her...

boom!

A pure, unadorned, terrifying purple magic collided with the unfolding fiery red petals.

In just a moment, one of the petals shattered.

Coco bit her lip and poured all her magic into it!

And so, the next petal finally held on for two seconds.

The immense impact pushed her backward, and Coco tried desperately to push forward, but one of her feet still sank into the ground.

This is the power of a teacher...

It really is so far away.

Looking up, Ms. Shion's expression seemed to indicate that she hadn't exerted any effort at all; her index finger pointing in this direction wasn't even straight, and the action looked more like she had just casually pointed at something.

However, even with just this ordinary magical impact, she felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her.

Li Yi stared at Coco's trembling back, biting her lip hard.

She took out her miracle seed, a black, dead seed.

Countless calls were met only with deathly silence and despair.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The petals were breaking off one after another, but the pace began to slow down.

On one hand, the magic of the cocoa petals is more potent, and on the other hand...

She looked up and gazed at Ms. Shion, who had no expression on her face, from afar.

She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to see a hint of appreciation in Ms. Shion's eyes.

"Well done."

Her rosy lips moved slightly, and Coco subconsciously started thinking in that direction.

But then I thought about it, and maybe the shape of my mouth was wrong.

However, she decided to take it as a compliment from Ms. Shion.

After all, this was a defensive technique of Shion-sensei that she had imitated after only one glance...

Really, isn't that pretty good?

Snapped!

When the last petal fell, Coco finally couldn't hold on any longer and was about to be knocked away.

However, someone suddenly grabbed her shoulder from behind.

"Well done, newbie! The magical girl from Beihai is much more capable than I imagined."

Magical Girl Iris pulls out a dark gravity barrier in front of her with her backhand.

"I never expected you could buy me enough time to transform. Leave the rest to me!"

Coco admired her opponent for being so confident and arrogant despite losing so badly. If she were her, she might have cried.

"Are you alright, Iris-senpai?"

"No problem, who do you think I am?"

The blue magical girl smiled brightly: "I am Iris, the strongest magical girl in the Disaster Management Bureau!"

There are more prefixes now, senior...

As Coco thought this, she saw the purple magic power being twisted and swallowed by the black gravity barrier, and she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Even if it were Shion-sensei, such a casual strike wouldn't be able to break through the defense of a magical girl of the same level... right?

The next second, the gravity barrier shattered without warning.

It transcended levels, crushed the rules, and pure magic destroyed everything!

Two magical girls crashed down behind Li Yi, simultaneously deactivating their transformations.

Li Yi faced the purple light directly.

It feels like I've gone back to that day.

They returned to the day they had just transformed.

When the calamity beast appeared, everyone ran away. People kept falling down, and my sister also fell to the ground, but she kept urging herself to run faster.

But Li Yi rushed forward alone, standing in front of the calamity beast.

Now, the person behind her is no longer her sister, but a member of the Witch's Guild, one of the murderers who killed her.

She had no reason to risk standing in front of him again.

Shion will not kill anyone as long as they don't stand in the way of the twins.

Shion only kills those who deserve to die.

This is true for twins, and it's also true for the older sister...

Pain writhed in her heart. Li Yi clutched her miracle seed tightly, knowing she would never respond to her own miracle again.

It's like a sister I'll never see again.

I don't want to regret it anymore.

I don't want to see anyone die in front of me anymore.

So, I still will.

Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.

The purple light obscured the view.

So much so that they couldn't see the seeds in their hands, being washed by tears, dripping with dark filth.

She choked back tears as she spoke her wish:

"I want to become a magical girl."

The seed in my hand burst forth with a dazzling pink light once more!

In an instant, thousands of fluttering petals rose up around her!

It stopped the unstoppable purple light.

Within the petals, Li Yi slightly opened her mouth, her eyes blurred with tears as she looked at the seed in her hand.

Although it could no longer transform, the Miracle Seed responded to her with its last bit of power!

"Thank you, thank you for responding to me. Let's protect everyone together one last time!"

The miracle of response swelled within the girl's wish, as if an infinite power was blocking the path of the purple magic!

However, in just a moment, the petals fluttering around suddenly burst into flames!

In the blink of an eye, all the petals turned to ashes!

Li Yi was stunned, her tear stains still wet on her face, when the miracle she had just grasped was annihilated by absolute power.

Before they could react, they were blasted away by the magic!

Fortunately, Coco reacted quickly and caught her, and the two of them fell backward a great distance together.

So, only the twins remained, quietly holding the blue pendant.

The purple magic roared, about to devour and tear her apart, when it suddenly subsided.

It seemed as if the wind had just run out right in front of her, leaving only the raging wind that stirred her loose black hair, gently wiping away her wounds, and finally slowly returning to calm.

"metropolitan……"

She tilted her head back, murmuring dreamily, and finally added, "My lord."

However, there was no one ahead.

In the desolate suburban wasteland, there was only a huge, pitted ditch, resembling half-burned trees, broken telephone poles, and a supermarket, with wisps of smoke rising continuously.
