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

Chapter 652 Magical Girls: A Ranking System

After a brief moment of cheers and applause, people still scattered in panic.

The battles between magical girls and monsters are certainly exciting, but apart from a few reckless individuals, almost no one dares to stand by and watch, not even most S-class heroes.

After all, the destructive power of astral magic is surreal. No matter how strong the defense is, it is no different from running naked in the face of powerful magic and magical attacks.

Moreover, magical girls' battles usually leave behind considerable aftershocks and repercussions... and Aki is no exception.

As a veteran magical girl squad, the Aki Katsura Squad is a classic and powerful triangular combination of melee combat, firepower, and support. Their tactics are very mature, but they still cannot completely avoid causing damage to the surrounding environment when facing monsters, since monsters can also dodge attacks.

But as the fighting continued, the nearby residents suddenly noticed that although the battlefield was making a lot of noise, it had not caused any aftershock damage to the surrounding area.

"Crack!!!"

With a cat punch, the skeleton Tyrannosaurus Rex once again disintegrated into a pile of bones and exploded. The skeleton Triceratops, which had reassembled not far away, looked tremblingly at its strange companion, and then cast its fearful gaze at the deep blue magical girl in front of it.

The Hellcat swayed its tail with a cat-like gait, its paws hanging loosely at its sides. Its movements were relaxed and graceful, like a cat taking a lazy stroll after an afternoon nap.

But when this elegant gait fell into the eyes of the skeletal Triceratops... its shattered consciousness, filled with raging astral magic, responded with "fear." The ferocious energy that had just rampaged and destroyed the exhibition site had vanished, leaving only the thought of shrinking back and trying to dodge.

The two giant horns on its head that could have seriously injured and sent the A-class hero [Iron Man] flying have been broken off by hand, and several deep grooves have been smashed into the surface of its skull. The bone fragments are torn and broken, and the terrifying dark magic hidden in its head can be seen directly.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex's lower jaw had also broken off and could not be pieced back together no matter how hard it tried. After several attempts, it had no choice but to give up and stood next to the Triceratops, letting out a silent roar of anger.

No one knows how the Hellcat viewed the two trembling skeletons before it, but prey that has passed through the clutches of felines rarely meet a good end.

"...You're more resilient than I thought."

The heterochromatic cat's gaze fell on the Triceratops, which trembled with fear and assumed a defensive stance. It let out a low roar and launched another unwilling charge, trying to use its head, now only ruins and missing its giant horn, to stop the Hellcat's advance.

"But I'm getting a little tired of it, and most of the people around have been evacuated... I guess it's about time?"

The catgirl swayed her tail from side to side, gesturing to the golden fox that was hovering in the air not far away.

"Hmm? Everything's been evacuated. Kitty, you're free to do whatever you want now."

With that as a foundation, Hellcat's lips curled into a hearty, carefree smile. Surging magical power coiled and rose from its cat-paw gauntlets, causing the Triceratops, halfway through its charge, to hastily halt and attempt to retreat and escape. But it was too late to dodge the oncoming cat fist—

"Boom!!!" "Crack!"

The punch infused with magic was completely different from the pure physical beating just now in terms of force. When this punch hit the already riddled skull of the skeletal triceratops, it shattered the entire skull affected by the magic infusion, and the magic hidden in the head also exploded and scattered in an instant!

The skeleton lost its magical pull and crumbled into a pile of scattered bones.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex stared blankly as its companion was smashed into pieces by that solid punch. Seeing the catgirl retract her fist and prepare to strike it a second time, it didn't care that the anger from the berserk magic hadn't subsided and hurriedly turned to run away.

But instead, a giant warhammer with rabbit ears printed on it came crashing down on its forehead, slamming it into the ground.

"Hey ha!!"

A pink magical girl dressed as a bunny girl materialized in the air, her face beaming with the satisfaction of a successful attack.

"Oh? You're here too." Hellcat shook off the few pieces of broken bone and dust stuck to its paws and said to the rabbit girl who had smashed the Tyrannosaurus Rex to pieces with a single blow.

"You arrived just in time! I rushed over as soon as I got the news!"

Cheshire Rabbit grinned, but his hand continued to swing the warhammer, carefully smashing the Tyrannosaurus Rex's head to pieces, making sure it couldn't be put back together.

A double-monster attack that could have caused numerous casualties... ended in such a hasty and darkly humorous way.

The monster was confirmed to be completely eliminated, and the Yamashiro Hero Association then entered the scene to begin cleaning up. The A-class hero, Sharpshooter, stood at the edge of the battlefield, holding a notebook, staring in disbelief at the plaza that had been destroyed by the fierce hand-to-hand combat.

But he wasn't heartbroken by the scene of destruction before him; instead, he wondered, "Why is the damage so minor this time?" He didn't even know where to begin writing his frontline briefing.

Only when he saw a familiar figure in the Hero Association's black uniform walking towards him did the sharpshooter quickly cap his pen, straighten his back, and salute the newcomer.

"Section Chief."

"Yes, I heard that from them. You were very brave just now. Well done."

The man, who appeared to be relatively young, around thirty or forty years old, patted the sharpshooter on the shoulder and smiled at him.

"Protecting the people is the duty of a hero."

"It's great that you have this idea. I'll apply for this year's outstanding achievement award for you later, and you'll get a double bonus this month. Go back and get some rest."

"Thank you, Section Chief!"

The sharpshooter was overjoyed, saluted again with deep respect, and quickly left the edge of the battlefield.

Not far away, the golden-haired fox, who was directing her familiars to clean up the remains of the skeletal monster, naturally noticed this person of considerable importance—the black hero uniform signified "S-rank" in the Hero Association, and combined with his familiar face and the name tag on his chest, this must be...

"Miss Xin Yuehu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The S-class hero stepped forward and spoke to the petite, golden-haired fox girl not far away.

"Thank you so much for your timely support, which prevented more casualties and innocent civilians from being injured."

"It's alright, it's alright. We just happened to be here on vacation, and we didn't expect to run into these two clueless guys..."

The fox girl chuckled, but she always felt happy when praised, and her fox tail swayed from side to side, faithfully reflecting her mood.

This is perfect. I can use a set of words to cover up my true purpose for coming to the mountain city, and maybe I can even get some clues about the current situation of the mountain city from this S-class hero.

Before Su Tianqing could even ask a question, two trails of flying magic appeared between the buildings, and a familiar voice rang out from the sky:

"Huh? Heart Moon Fox?"

Su Tianqing and the black-clad hero in front of her looked up at the same time, their eyes meeting those of the sky-blue magical girl floating in the sky with a surprised expression.

It was none other than Magical Girl☆Hyacinth, who had just arrived in the mountain city and heard about the strange attack at Chaotianmen Square.
