Chapter 852: Chapter 506: I’m Not Going to Be a Magical Girl Anymore, Teacher! (Part 2)

Thus, this project within the Bureau is also a controversial one. Although it has some astonishing figures in terms of recruitment efficiency and success rate, it is still in the experimental stage and has not been widely implemented.

This time, because of Alice, the number and strength of demons in the city have begun to approach the level before magical girls first emerged. To quickly increase the scale and combat power of the city’s teenage magical girls, the Bureau had no choice but to bring out this trump card.

After all, being a magical girl is a profession that strongly depends on region and age.

At sixteen, a magical girl is already nearing the end of her career, and most choose to retire during high school. In such a short career span, they are more willing to fight to protect their hometown.

Of course, the Bureau can assign magical girls from other cities to come here on a mission, but after all, they are only on assignment and will eventually leave.

Therefore, even with combat support, this kind of recruitment must proceed.

Alice observed several new magical girls out of curiosity, given that those facing her, like Ye Nainai, were already very mature magical girls.

The idealism of magical girls was also a conclusion she reached during her observation.

The belief in their hearts is the core combat power of magical girls.

They often possess promotion methods that completely baffle Alice.

During this observation, Alice learned that breakthroughs through conversational therapy, like those of Ye Nainai, were not isolated incidents—such things are very common among magical girls.

Since confidence can make magical girls stronger.

Alice became even more curious about what they would become if their confidence and dignity were utterly shattered.

What an interesting group of girls.

As Alice pondered, she held her textbooks and walked toward the office.

Suddenly, a familiar voice called out to her from behind.

Alice turned around and saw Ye Nainai in her school uniform.

Ye Nainai is a very cute girl, just a bit too introverted.

If she didn’t know her real identity, Alice could never imagine her as an extraordinary being.

"What’s up, Ye Nainai?" Alice guessed that Ye Nainai was here for another life consultation.

After all, if you count the time, it seemed like today was the appointment for their next battle.

Thanks to the miniature puppets, the Bureau’s and magical girls’ strategy meetings were completely under Alice’s watch.

So Alice was well aware of the grand lineup waiting for her in tonight’s battle.

The elite of the Bureau were all out in force.

The magical girls swore to kill this witch who disturbed the world order in a single battle.

Just the ninth-level magical girls numbered three.

Previously mentioned, the career of a magical girl is very brief, and it is challenging to advance to the ninth level in such a short time, even in such an idealistic career.

Virtually all existing ninth-level magical girls are Dragon Magic Girls.

They were originally potent magic boys who evolved into Dragon Ladies under the remnants of energy left by Qishala, gaining even more formidable power.

Tonight’s battle promises to be a fierce operation.

However, this did not deter Alice; instead, it excited her even more. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Since she debuted, her battles have either been extreme bullying or extreme level-surpassing, facing gods at the fifth level. She’s rarely fought opponents of the same level.

"Teacher Hozerville?" Ye Nainai’s voice drew Alice out of her daydream.

Alice smiled politely, albeit apologetically: "Sorry, I was just thinking about things at home. Ye Nainai, is there something you need?"

Ye Nainai bit her lip, lowered her head, and said very conflictedly to Alice: "Teacher, I’ve had some doubts in my heart these past few days..."

She was already quite a strong girl.

Still, the scene that day, using all her might yet failing to defeat Alice, had cast a shadow, eternally echoing in Ye Nainai’s mind, constantly reminding her of her inability to overcome the witch.

"I have an enemy I can’t defeat, yet must defeat. I’m very confused now, not knowing how to face such an enemy—that sense of helplessness, as if I’m in an abyss with no end in sight, and I can never see the future where I defeat that enemy."

The Prison Dragon Witch is just too powerful.

Ye Nainai knew very well that even if she broke through several more times, she could never defeat such an opponent.

Although the Bureau’s seniors kept encouraging them, using various past glories to inspire them.

But for some reason, Ye Nainai had little confidence in tonight’s operation.

The Prison Dragon Witch’s strength, in the Bureau’s ratings, was no weaker than those historical S-Class super demons.

In the era when magical girls were born, all these super demons were collectively known as Demon Kings.

While the Bureau’s battles against the Demon Kings were certainly passionate and their achievements glorious, Ye Nainai knew that these Demon Kings were all defeated by the Bureau’s first director, the legendary Queen Qishala.

In today’s era, these most powerful magical girls would have only been team members assisting in Qishala’s battles, not primarily facing the Demon Kings but their commanders.

In other words, if you’re really looking at history, none of this group are opponents of S-Class demons.

"Never able to win?" Alice’s gaze shifted, looking at Ye Nainai with a half-smiling expression.

Ye Nainai nodded firmly and said with certainty, "Yes."

She naturally believed in the potential of magical girls, but she believed even more in her talent.

At sixteen, she was already nearing the end of her magical girl career.

According to the seniors’ experience, after this age, no matter how much she fought, her strength could no longer progress.

Many magical girls choose to retire because they can’t get stronger.

"Hmm...you can try looking at things outside the box, Ye Nainai," Alice said with a smile.

Outside the box?

This phrase commonly heard by working folks sounded so grand in a high schooler’s ears.

"Human potential is limitless." Alice raised her head, instructively, "If you’ve seen limits, it only means the path you’re on has limits. So why not try looking for a new path? One with more future prospects, one that can surpass your enemies."

A new path?

Ye Nainai was slightly stunned by Alice’s words.

In her limited life, magical girls were everything to the extraordinary, and she didn’t even know if there was any other extraordinary pathway...

Wait!

Perhaps there is.

Ye Nainai’s eyes gradually lit up.

A clear image began to form in her mind.

The Prison Dragon Witch!

If she wanted to protect the city, protect those innocent residents, she needed power, even stronger power.

This power could be from being a magical girl.

But it didn’t necessarily have to be.

If the power of magical girls could no longer protect the city.

Then perhaps she needed to choose another path to gain even stronger power.

The existence of the Prison Dragon Witch and so many historical S-Class Demon Kings proved the growth limit of demons.

Maybe she could get some inspiration from demons and gain power beyond magical girls.

But...demons, after all...

"Are you wrestling with something?" Alice noticed Ye Nainai’s hesitation.

"What if the path I choose isn’t all that...righteous?"

"Then it depends on your goal," Alice said, raising her hand to ruffle Ye Nainai’s head.

Ye Nainai’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

She seemed to make up her mind.

"You seem to have decided."

"Yes." Ye Nainai nodded.

I won’t be a magical girl! Teacher!

Shen Sui was speechless.

It looked like Alice was leading a kind-hearted little girl astray.

Alice, you can do as you please because I’m here to back you up, but others don’t have such a formidable background.

Ordinary people can make one wrong step and get stuck with wrong steps forever.

Just like if someone’s goal is to make money.

Some choose "Wealth Creation Scripture" as their guide.

Some choose "Criminal Law" as theirs.

Are they the same?
