Holographic billboards flashed hero rankings, sponsorship ads, and portal alerts. The lobby buzzed with caped figures, reporters, and wide-eyed civilians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah sipped her latte, still in borrowed clothes. \"This place is huge. Feels like applying for a job, but with more spandex.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey adjusted his box of ex-office belongings. \"Efficient structure. Centralized registration, standardized testing. Better than spreadsheets getting mana-fried.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They joined the line for the registration desk. A bored receptionist in a sleek uniform handed them forms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"New applicants? Fill these out: personal info, known abilities, emergency contacts. Then it’s the Awakening Verification Scan, written ethics quiz, and practical demo if needed. Most people with mana powers get fast-tracked these days—portals don’t wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah whispered to Andrey, \"Ethics quiz? After that barrier nonsense? The system better not chime in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System: Quiet mode engaged. For now~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey filled his form precisely: Name, age, former occupation (logistics specialist—unemployed), abilities (Weapon Mastery, shared Magical Girl buffs). He hesitated at \"Team Affiliation,\" then wrote \"Pending: Magical Girl Squad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah scribbled hers, muttering about the outfit section being optional. \"If they make me transform here, I’m blasting the desk with hearts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scan came next—a big archway machine that hummed and glowed blue as they stepped through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tech in a lab coat read the results. \"Whoa. You two lit up the charts. Shared mana link? Unusual, but strong. And this pink energy signature... you’re already active independents?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey nodded seriously. \"We handled a Level 3 breach yesterday. Office portal. Casualties minimized, property damage... moderate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tech grinned. \"Perfect timing. Association’s pushing recruitment after recent spikes. Skip the full exam—provisional registration approved. Ranks start at D for newbies, but with verified combat, you’ll jump quick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They got temporary ID badges clipped to their shirts:Provisional Hero License – Rank D. A quick orientation vid played—rules about no unauthorized vigilantism, quarterly activity quotas, sponsorship opportunities, and \"Magical Girl variants require costume approval for public image.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah groaned. \"Costume approval? Told you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey studied the badge like a new performance review. \"Acceptable entry point. We can optimize from here. Quests for EXP, points for skills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A nearby board listed beginner missions: Goblin cleanup in suburbs, escort duty, portal monitoring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah poked one. \"Look, this one’s ’Assist in minor rift containment.’ Pays better than accounting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey cracked a small smile. \"Team’s first official quest?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She bumped his shoulder. \"Fine. But if I have to say a catchphrase, you’re buying dinner after.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System: Quest accepted! Hero life unlocked. New feature: Guild Team Formation available soon~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they headed out toward the mission briefing room, Sarah glanced at Andrey. \"From fired office drones to licensed heroes in one day. This is still ridiculous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Efficient ridiculous,\" he corrected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One step at a time.The mission briefing room was a stark contrast to the glitzy lobby: plain white walls, rows of folding chairs, and a big screen showing live portal maps. A dozen other D-rank and provisional heroes milled around—some in full costumes, others in street clothes like Andrey and Sarah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cheerful Association staffer with a clipboard clapped for attention. \"Okay, newbies! Your first assigned quest: Minor Rift Containment in Sector 7—abandoned warehouse district. Reports of low-level goblins and one mid-size ogre. Standard cleanup. Team of two is fine, but you can pair up if you want.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah glanced at Andrey. \"Guess that’s us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey nodded. \"Optimal party size. Let’s gear up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were directed to the equipment locker. Basic hero kits were free for provisionals: reinforced jackets, comms earpieces, mana-resistant gloves, and a few utility potions. Sarah grabbed a jacket that actually fit and some cargo pants—blissfully normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No frills required unless I transform, right?\" she asked the quartermaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct. Magical Girl mode is optional for combat unless your powers are locked behind it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah exhaled in relief. \"Thank the stars.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey picked a simple tactical belt and a collapsible baton—his Weapon Mastery made anything lethal in his hands. He tested the weight, spinning it once. Satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they headed to the transport van, Sarah’s earpiece crackled. The system decided quiet time was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>System: First official quest accepted! Bonus objective: Recruit potential Magical Girl #2 (Lisa the intern—last seen in Sector 7 evac zone). Reward: New outfit unlock (less frilly ver.) + team slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah stopped walking. \"Wait... Lisa’s in the mission area?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey frowned. \"Coincidence? Or the system meddling again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Knowing our luck? Definitely meddling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The van dropped them two blocks from the warehouse. Yellow tape and evacuation signs marked the perimeter. A few Association drones buzzed overhead, scanning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the chain-link fence, the warehouses looked like a monster playground—broken windows, overturned trucks, goblin tracks everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah cracked her knuckles. \"Ready, manager?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey gave a small, determined nod. \"Let’s clear it efficiently. And... keep an eye out for Lisa.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They moved in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first wave of goblins came fast—ten of them scurrying from behind crates. Andrey flowed forward like he’d been fighting his whole life, baton blurring. One strike shattered a spear, another sent a goblin flying into a wall. Weapon Mastery made every motion perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah stayed back at first, then sighed. \"Fine. Let’s get this over with.\" Pink light flared. The frilly dress returned—though this time the skirt seemed a tiny bit longer, maybe the system listening for once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heartstorm Volley!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pink lasers swept the remaining goblins into sparkly dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey glanced back, approving. \"Good AoE clear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t get used to the dress,\" she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deeper in, they heard a muffled scream—familiar voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lisa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sprinted toward the sound and found her cornered in a loading bay by the mid-size ogre—a twelve-foot brute swinging a girder like a club. Lisa clutched a broken pipe, shaking but standing her ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah’s eyes widened. \"We’ve got company.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey gripped his baton tighter. \"Plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah raised her wand, pink mana crackling. \"I distract, you flank. Then we have a very awkward recruitment talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Andrey allowed himself half a smile. \"Efficient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the ogre roared and charged, the two ex-office workers moved in perfect sync—one in tactical gear, one in reluctant sparkles—ready to turn another disaster into the next Chapter of their ridiculous hero life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warehouse shook with the first impact of pink magic. Somewhere in the distance, the system giggled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1055,"2026-06-03T14:32:31.115Z","2026-06-03T14:32:35.842Z",1,"novelbin.me","4b859f71d4a16555de42534ef33eb496c1cbcdd7ab023c8f9e963b3ca3fac767","my-magical-girl-system-chapter-8","my-magical-girl-system-chapter-6",128,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-magical-girl-system-cover.jpg"]
