Chapter 107: Student Life Is Over, Isn't It

As the dazzling, radiant light gradually faded...

The "Magical Girl" clad in a flowing dress descended lightly upon the earth...

Gripping a magic wand in her hand, it was cleverly composed of elements like hearts, wings, and bows, shining with a unique radiance...

——That was the magic wand transformed from that Soul Gem, and also the core device of the entire Magical Girl Transformation Equipment set.

However...

At this time, none of that mattered anymore.

After all, who would still have the mood to obsess over the design philosophy of these things!

Isshiki Makoto, Tanshoya Natsumi, and Fu Yuta Togashi, whether participants or witnesses, all fell into silence and stupor together, unable to express the surging emotions churning in their inner hearts, as if time had stagnated at this moment.

"......"

"......"

Quiet, dead silent, divine silence.

The air seemed to mian man with silent awkwardness and stillness, everyone cautiously controlling their breath, afraid of breaking this solidified silence.

Perhaps as long as a whole century had passed, the warehouse space appeared vast and tranquil; this terrible sensation of silence made one's skin feel a stinging pain. Fu Yuta Togashi seemed to have finally come to his senses, cold sweat emerging on his forehead.

It's over!

This was the first thought in his mors brain.

The development of events exceeded his expectation.

Although the one who abruptly barged in, making a huge movement and scaring him, was not some magic beast launching an attack, but his own dead party Isshiki Makoto.

However, for Fu Yuta Togashi who was scared into a conditioned reflex and directly activated the Magical Girl Transformation, looking at Isshiki Makoto before his eyes was simply more terrifying than facing ten billion magic beasts... even more scary!!

——Just what am I doing, myself...

——If this matter spreads out just like this, student career will end, right...

No, impossible! Absolutely impossible!!

He absolutely cannot let this kind of thing happen!!

He must immediately sober up, regain his rational, positively face the predicament before his eyes! That's right! Must explain the truth of the matter clearly to Isshiki Makoto, make the other party understand this matter isn't as imagined!

Fu Yuta Togashi thought this way, however he ultimately opened his mouth, but couldn't squeeze out any words, his throat wriggling dryly, vocal cords seemingly broken unable to emit any sound, only able to stare blankly like this, facing Isshiki Makoto's astonished gaze.

Isshiki Makoto was still in the shock from that scene just now, his worldview completely overturned, to the extent of being unable to immediately come to his senses.

His eyes not only stared wide, his jaw almost dropping to the ground, seemingly completely unable to believe everything happening before his eyes.

Therefore——

Fu Yuta Togashi and Isshiki Makoto the two just stalemated like this, gazing at each other, long without words, the air mian man with awkwardness and silence.

"......"

"......"

And at this time, on the other side Tanshoya Natsumi, also gradually came to understand, although the scene before her eyes still made her feel somewhat hard to digest.

This beautiful girl who pinned her bangs with a pink hair clip, let down waist-long hair, and tied a side ponytail looked at Fu Yuta Togashi in Magical Girl shape, after a good half moment, only then corner of mouth twitching slightly moved away her gaze, difficultly swallowing a mouthful of saliva.

Indeed ah...

She felt it was still a bit hard to accept.

Not merely because of the Magical Girl transformed shape, but also because of the Magical Girl transformation process.

Imagine, before familiar friends and classmates, performing such a glamorous transformation, she couldn't help feeling a chill, even goosebumps rising on her arms. This kind of scene perhaps only in elementary school period, innocent little girls would feel it dreamlike, full of charm.

However, with growth and maturity, even if in the fanatical chuunibyou moment of adolescence, the majority of people also find it hard to accept this kind of childish-leaning fantasy.

Tanshoya Natsumi naturally also so, in middle school period, the character persona she set for herself was "actually exceeded 500 years old, existing in the world genuine Wizard", this was her yearning for Wizard, not Magical Girl setting.

This suffices to prove at that stage back then, she had already lost interest in that overly child-oriented fantasy.

Let alone the current age bracket, facing the scene before her eyes, especially just having experienced a typical negative example, she found it even more unable to accept this fantasy.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her complex emotions, opened her mouth to break the silence: "That, Isshiki classmate, did you perhaps misunderstand something..."

Probably also felt stalemating like this had no meaning, she felt she had necessity at this time to say something——

Otherwise, these two people might possibly keep staring at each other there.

Until mandatory leave school time passes.

Won't stop.

"Y-yes, Isshiki, actually this matter really isn't what you think..."

The oppressive atmosphere finally broken, the air no longer stagnant, Fu Yuta Togashi forcefully bit his lips, feeling his body's stiffness somewhat relieved, also painstakingly racking his brains, wanting to take advantage of the atmosphere loosening to explain a bit.

"I, I feel... I feel... it's mainly very complex, you know..."

Just as he spoke, he also didn't know what he was saying anymore. In his past sixteen years of all life experience, he couldn't find a single sentence able to handle and explain the situation before his eyes.

What to do what to do what to do...

Quickly think how to say it...

Fu Yuta Togashi anxiously thought how to respond, mors brain yet a blank. The more he wanted to find a response strategy, the more inner heart anxious. Words also became stuttering, even himself unclear what he was saying.

He also very hard wanted to squeeze out a smile, just face muscles lost sensation, so also didn't know if succeeded.

——Of course didn't succeed.

——In fact, only Fu Yuta Togashi felt he was trying hard to squeeze out a smile.

Isshiki Makoto and Tanshoya Natsumi the two, only saw on his face an expression wanting to escape this place.

"Yuta Togashi? Is it really you?"

Isshiki Makoto at this time, also finally let himself come to senses, he first looked up and down at the suddenly fragrant good brother, then not too daring to confirm tentatively called out the other's name.

"...... Is me..."

Fu Yuta Togashi expression stiffly nodded, at this moment, admitting really needed courage, he even had an impulse of regret, regretting why he didn't think of this point just now, directly insisting he was another person wouldn't have been better?

"……"

"……"

"It really is you... This truly is..."

Isshiki Makoto's expression was bizarre, as if after confirming reality, he found it even more unbelievable; simultaneously, he also began racking his brains thinking, conflicted about how to describe the events unfolding before his eyes.

"This matter actually is—" Fu Yuta Togashi hurriedly spoke up wanting to clarify, indicating this was not his doing.

However.

Right at this instant, his words suddenly cut off.

Because a certain power was manipulating his body, the Magical Girl form constructed by the Jutsu began to exert force, like threads pulling a puppet to move; Fu Yuta Togashi was interrupted mid-speech, his gaze blank and at a loss, not knowing what had happened.

He merely saw his body spontaneously make strange movements, directly raising the Magic Wand in his hand that was primarily pink-toned. A sense of unease surged in Fu Yuta Togashi's heart, not knowing what would happen next.

Directly at the front, not far away.

Within Isshiki Makoto's doubtful gaze—

The Magic Wand's gem suddenly lit up, light gathering, as if accumulating some energy.

In a split second, that energy's accumulation completed; a scorching attack howled out, brushing past Isshiki Makoto's side, carrying astonishing heat as it bombarded forward.

A booming roar instantly rang out; the entire Gymnasium Warehouse floor seemed to have been plowed by a tremendous force, leaving a charred black and scorching trace. The energy attack exploded with a boom, dust and smoke rising together, a powerful shockwave violently diffusing toward the surroundings.

Fu Yuta Togashi and Isshiki Makoto both froze simultaneously.

"Wh-what..."

Classmate Dansen Valley was also startled by this unexpected situation, for a moment thinking this was preparation for killing to silence witnesses, but immediately thereafter perceived something amiss; strange phenomena appeared at the attacked location.

At the position subjected to bombardment, within the pervasive smoke and dust, an eerie large mass of black mist surged forth without warning, like a giant creature's beating heart, regularly expanding and contracting.

This black mist's rhythm and manner of spreading made one feel an inexplicable fear and unease.

In an instant, she immediately realized!

Something really has appeared!

Fu Yuta Togashi reacted, yet his gaze was like he had died; with such a huge commotion, it would definitely draw all the other people in the school over, right?
