The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.

Chapter 512 The Working Hours of the Righteous Ones

The piercing alarm sounded throughout Qingniu District of Chengdu.

Sirens blared across the food street as people rushed nervously toward shelters, no one daring to linger on the street.

Overturned food stalls and carts littered the streets; no one cared about the greasy soup or disposable bowls and chopsticks, nor did they care about the chili oil stains on their clothes. They were only concerned with fleeing for their lives.

"Boom!"

The strange man appeared at the entrance of the food street, easily crushed a food cart, and looked around at the scattered debris, as if searching for something.

Soon, a cockroach peeking out from the broken sewer came into its view. The strange man almost immediately let out a piercing roar and swung his hand down at the cockroach with all his might—

"Boom!!"

The sewer opening was smashed to pieces, and cockroaches were crushed to dust, but this did not quell the monster's anger. It continued to swing its fist, which was as big as a small car, at the surrounding environment, wantonly destroying everything in its path.

The shops were destroyed, the cars were smashed, and the deafening roar stunned the A-level and B-level heroes who were responsible for close-range surveillance in the surrounding area. None of them had the ability to step forward and stop it.

The strange man was imbued with immense magical power from the astral plane. No one knew why this violent magical power manifested in this form, but no one could stop it.

"News from the front lines: the monster has gone berserk!"

[What is the extent of the building damage? What is the level of confirmation?]

A clear and calm voice came through the radio.

"It's destroying buildings near the street corner. The telemetry data is very blurry; the rampant astral magic interference is too great!"

[Then continue... wait a minute, all frontline personnel evacuate, repeat, all frontline personnel evacuate!]

[The Hyacinth Squad arrives at the scene. The entire squad evacuates, leaving the battlefield to them!]

.

The heroes and staff used their unique skills to evacuate quickly.

Just as the strange creature was about to throw the wreckage of the car into another sewer, a beam of pure white light descended from the sky and enveloped the wreckage in its hand—

"Crack!!!"

A violent explosion.

The detonated magic forced the monster back a few steps, pulling it back from the forcibly widened and destroyed entrance of the food street to the main road. It then looked up towards the source of the beam of light.

A pristine white magical girl floats in mid-air, her graceful figure supported by flight magic, while her magic cannon locks firmly onto the monster's head-like shape, ready to strike at any moment.

"#####……"

The strange man let out an angry growl, and the two sides remained locked in a stalemate, neither making the first move.

"...It looks rather strange. What's its identifier?"

After staring at the strange man for a long time, Iris finally managed to utter a sentence and said to Nightingale, who was waiting not far behind her.

"The Hero Association's telemetry indicates it's a [Monster of Obsession], but the specifics are still unclear."

"I see... Hyacinth, let's get started."

At a command, the magic cannon did not fire; instead, a greatsword appeared in front of the monster and swung down at it!

"Snap!" "###!!!"

The magical sword energy struck the monster squarely in the chest, leaving a deep, dark wound. The monster roared even more furiously, instinctively trying to retaliate, but the magical cannon poised to fire in the air immediately countered—

The artillery fire descended from the sky, halting the monster's attempt to raise its fist and exploding into a dazzling burst of light and fire.

With the help of artillery fire and front-line cover, the dog girl lurking in the shadows leaped into the monster's blind spot, seized the opportunity to strike with all her might, and quickly escaped before the monster could react, disappearing again into the shadows and gaps of the building.

Marigold floated behind Iris, its mouth slightly open, watching the entire crushing defeat of the monster.

...To be precise, it was more like a hunt for monsters.

The gigantic monster possessed immense destructive power; from the moment it appeared and attacked the food street, it completely annihilated the surrounding buildings and shops within two or three minutes.

With this level of destructive power, Marigold wouldn't be surprised if it were a wild monster born from a magic storm.

Yet this powerful monster was utterly powerless against the Hyacinth Squad.

Until the monster collapsed with a groan and scattered into magical particles, it was unable to mount any decent counterattack.

"senior!"

The marigold landed from the air, trotted over to the iris, and said to her.

Hyacinth was currently finishing off the monster alongside Arisaema, fearing it might unleash a second-stage attack in the blink of an eye, while Iris was also maintaining its usual vigilance nearby.

Hearing her junior's voice and confirming that the strange man had not been tampered with by Xin Yuehu, she turned to look at the marigold.

"How was today's combat training?" Iris asked with a smile.

The girl glanced at the strange figure that had vanished completely from the ground, then at the white ferret elf carefully examining the magic fragments she had retrieved from the wreckage, and said:

"I feel... I feel that the seniors' teamwork is amazing. They took care of this weirdo in no time."

"After all, this is the most mature tactic right now, so don't underestimate the importance of our team's close coordination."

The nightingale suddenly appeared, chuckling as she continued the conversation.

"How about it? How about it? Miss Marigold, have you had an inspiration yet?"

"Hmm... I feel like I've learned a lot, but I can't quite put it into words yet. I'll have to take some notes and summarize it when I get back."

"They're really serious! At this rate, Miss Marigold will definitely surpass us soon!"

"I will try my best!..." The girl was flattered and quickly nodded in reply.

.

A practical training exercise transformed Marigold from mere theoretical discussion into real combat, allowing her to deeply understand just how arduous the task of fighting monsters truly was.

Marigold felt that just the precise, swift, and controlled suppressive artillery fire of Iris-senpai was enough for her to learn for a while.

"You really should let Yu-Yu study seriously... Well then, thank you for your hard work today, seniors! I have to go back and do my homework, see you this weekend~"

""Bye-Bye--""

Watching Jin Lanshuang and Liuxing, who was going home from get off work on the same way, disappear off the rooftop, the magical girls exchanged glances.

"What should we say next?" Nightingale was the first to speak.

"Late-night snack dog—"

"Little Wang, you're not allowed to eat anymore! Who eats late-night snacks every day? If you keep this up, you'll turn into an Alaskan gas cylinder!"

"Woof woof... I'm so hungry, woof... Just a little treat, woof! Just a tiny bit!"

The dog girl wagged her tail and acted cute, leaving Nightingale helpless. She had no choice but to take her to the snack shop to buy some snacks.

Only Nan Xiaofeng and Hua Ling remained on the rooftop.

"I feel like the situation has been strangely consistent these past few days," Nan Xiaofeng complained.

"When Heart Moon Fox doesn't appear, isn't this how our activities usually go?" Hua Ling replied with a smile.

"Hmph... I hate to admit it, but that fox does bring a lot of fun."

Despite his obvious displeasure, Nan Xiaofeng honestly admitted Hua Ling's point of view.

Actually, Nan Xiaofeng thought to herself that such ordinary days are quite comfortable.

She attends classes and studies during the day, transforms into a magical girl at night to fight monsters and protect the city, while also mentoring younger students and chatting with friends.

Life is ordinary, but there is a certain charm in the ordinariness.

"all in all--"

Nan Xiaofeng said,

"Tomorrow's the weekend, Karin, do you have any plans?"

"I plan to stay home and read some books. If possible, I'd also like to learn more about Sasha's situation. It seems she's going to report to the Hero Association's affiliated hospital tomorrow," Hua Ling replied softly.

"I see. Then I'll go with you. I can also invite Mu Yao along!"
