Prisons, garbage disposal plants, juvenile detention centers—a whole host of negative facilities are located here, making it the most dangerous and unsafe place in the entire Academy City.
The evil freak S sent out a criminal notice, kidnapped Marie Antoinette, and invited Ilya and her two companions to a duel.
"Only the three of you are allowed to be present; otherwise, I cannot guarantee the safety of the hostages." — This is the most crucial information in the crime warning letter.
"Can't we inform Ms. Karen?" Ilya's eyes darted around.
Chloe sighed: "Judging from the advance notice, they definitely know our information. At least they would have known when we notified Ms. Karen."
"For Mary's sake, it's best to take a safer approach," Miyu said. "Besides, the three of us might not necessarily lose."
The magical girls, dressed in their combat suits, nervously arrived at the location designated by Monster S: a long-abandoned building due to supernatural reasons.
Illya and the other two were unaware that this place had already been transformed by Lilith and Mochizuki Oboro into an "execution ground" for magical girl attacks.
Just as Miyu and Chloe were hesitating, Mochizuki Oboro appeared with hostages.
Floating in mid-air, Mochizuki Oboro used its extended dark energy to hold Mary back and covered her mouth with its hand: "Welcome, everyone."
"Ugh..." Mary twisted her body in a very cooperative manner, looking like she was in great pain, but in reality she was clinging tightly to Mochizuki Oboro.
"What did you do to my senior?!" Chloe's voice was tinged with anger.
Mochizuki Oboro calmly explained, "Nothing was done. Otherwise, her clothes would already have several holes in the crucial areas."
Because she noticed this, Mochizuki Oboro even made Mary remove her Mystic Code before farming the Quantum dungeon.
Miyu didn't say anything; she had a feeling that something was off about Mary-senpai. But she didn't have time to think about it too much right now.
"If you want to save people, step into this building. If you can overcome these trials one by one, I will naturally admit defeat."
After saying that, Mochizuki Oboro flicked her cloak and disappeared.
Ilya's lips twitched, speechless.
The building in front of them clearly screamed "suspicious." But they had no other choice.
"We have no choice but to go in." Chloe clicked her tongue in displeasure.
"Ilya, stay closer." Miyu subtly took Ilya's small hand: "In case there are traps."
At the same time, on the other side.
Half an hour had passed since Karen drifted off into a sweet dream.
Mary glanced at the clock; her hypnotic tricks could last until dawn, and she had plenty of time.
Even if Ilya and the others call, it won't make a difference, because Karen's phone is in Melly's hands now.
"Enjoy yourselves, girls~" Meryl put on her special glasses for watching the live stream of the challenge and gave a wicked smile.

Chapter 197 Exaggeration
The abandoned building has been transformed into a magical trial ground. As the ultimate reward for completing it, Marie Antoinette is placed on the top floor, idly awaiting the outcome.
【Magical Girl Rush Forward—let's call it that for now.】
The level designer, Mochizuki Oboro, naturally wouldn't be so considerate as to allow Illya, Miyu, and Chloe to unleash their full power.
Adding a few minor variables to the level progression is a piece of cake for those wicked aliens.
level one.
The design concept here is "darkness." It's pitch black; adding a light source won't help, as the energy of darkness will equally devour the light.
Ilya moved cautiously—the moment she entered the building's secret realm, she lost contact with Miyu and Chloe.
Although I had expected it, my heart still started pounding uncontrollably, and I became unusually sensitive to everything from hearing to my senses.
"Weird Man S... is he really not a third-rate villain from a children's anime?" Ilya couldn't help but complain.
The prolonged darkness and oppression forced her to release some pressure. Trying to talk to herself was a good option.
Suddenly, a dim light and darkness appeared at the edge of Ilya's vision. Immediately following it was the strange throne that was illuminated.
The masked villain propped his face up with one hand in a very standard pose, his elbow resting on the armrest of the chair, looking languid and lazy.
“Walk up to me and tear off my mask. That's how you win.”
Mochizuki Oboro raised her right hand: "It's simple, isn't it? Just lift your leg and step over this corridor."
“I’m not stupid.” Ilya’s eyes were filled with speechlessness. “You put something in the middle, didn’t you?”
[The magical girl Illya begins her adventure.]
The first obstacle she encountered was the shadow creatures she had casually created. Under the bombardment of light energy, these probing stumbling blocks quickly vanished.
[This was followed by a feeling of stiffness in the soles of her boots. A mysterious, materialized adhesive made it difficult for Ilya to move.]
"..."
Ilya looked up: "Do I need to take off my shoes?"
"No need. I don't have that kind of fetish. I'll figure out how to get through it myself," said Mochizuki Oboro.
Information gathering.
The voice of the weirdo S is not very clear due to the voice changer, but based on the information that has been said so far, it can most likely be confirmed as "him".
Ilya stretched out her cane, probed the ceiling above her head, and nodded slightly after confirming that there was enough room. Then she spread her wings made of light particles, pulled hard, and escaped the trap on the floor.
After gaining the ability to fly, Ilya did not rush to shorten the distance.
"Where are Miyu and the others?"
"We're now trapped in the maze. You'll take turns trying to clear the levels. After you fail, it'll be Miyu's turn, then Chloe's, and so on." Mochizuki Oboro said, crossing her legs. "How about that? Pretty humane, right?"
"Ha... I knew it wouldn't be that simple."
Since things had come to this, Ilya had no choice but to do as Mochizuki Oboro said.
After cautiously flying a few meters, Ilya realized that the distance between her and Mochizuki Oboro seemed to have shortened considerably. Aside from the small, interfering shadowy creatures, there was no visible trail.
Something's not right. It's too weird.
Ilya slowly stopped, pricked up her ears, and listened intently to the sounds around her.
Mochizuki Oboro submerged his hand into the throne, his five fingers transforming into slender shadows, quite similar to the shadow techniques of the Nara clan in the manga "Naruto".
Shadow shifts. A fundamental skill of extraterrestrials.
The shadow formed from five fingers swiftly attacked Ilya, instantly binding the girl's limbs and neck.
Because the changes and attacks happened so fast, Ilya didn't even have time to react before she was tightly bound.
Before Mochizuki Oboro could speak, Ilya instinctively activated the light energy hidden within her body, shattering all the shadows.
"As expected of a protagonist who follows the classic path. He can suddenly awaken even without friends around."
Mochizuki Oboro shook his hand; his five fingers had not yet returned to human form, remaining a blurry, flowing shadow.
"As agreed, let's release Senior Mary."
Ilya seized the opportunity, dashing forward in an instant and reaching out to grab Mochizuki Oboro's mask.
But the next moment, Ilya was shocked to find herself back at the starting point.
The strange man S's fingers seemed to have never been injured.
"……Eh?"
Illya stopped thinking.
What kind of ability is this? Why did I end up back at the beginning of the corridor?
Mochizuki Oboro snapped his fingers: "Let's try to crack it."
Once, twice, three times.
A dark corridor and an unknown fear gradually eroded Ilya's mind. More importantly, she had no companions left.
After thirteen attempts, Ilya, utterly exhausted, collapsed to the ground, her legs giving way.
"No... I can't understand what kind of ability this is at all..."
Ilya forced a weak smile: "Could it be that you're controlling time?"
Mochizuki Oboro did not answer.
In this level, Mochizuki Oboro's ability is simply to "automatically teleport Illya back to her original point when Illya's body gets within half a meter of her."
If Ilya can think calmly and eliminate distractions before using the cane, she will be able to pass the level successfully.
But reality didn't allow it. She had exhausted too much energy.
Mochizuki Oboro stood up from her seat: "It seems we've failed. According to the rules, let's place our hopes on your companions."
……
[You have automatically picked up the limited-time item, Exhausted Magical Girl Illya.]
The second challenge is the eternally wandering mirror maze. If Miyu can find the single correct path, she will win the game and take home the prizes: Illya and Marie.
[Do what villains do.]
"There is only one rule: get out of the maze."
Mochizuki Oboro placed the helpless Illya on her lap: "During this time, I will continuously punish Illya for failure. Every mirror will broadcast this in real time."
"Huh?" Miyu stared in astonishment at the mirrors around her, her expression gradually breaking down.
Mochizuki Oboro remotely picked up the small beverage box prepared by Lilith and took out a bottle of basic drink that doubled the chance of obtaining a Noble Phantasm.
[Core Talent - The Opposite of Light has been activated.]
You have completely overpowered Ilya, rendering her immobile.
The incompetent Miyu even forgot to take a step, watching helplessly as Mochizuki Oboro pried open Illya's teeth and poured in the red drink.
Seeing Miyu's reaction, Mochizuki Oboro kindly (?) reminded her, "If we don't start now, Illya's situation will only get worse, you know?"
"!"
Miyu shook her head vigorously, trying to find a way out of the maze.
However, an endless stream of mirrors filled her vision.

Chapter 198 Playing Big
To obtain data as quickly as possible, Lilith arrived at the agreed-upon time. The abandoned building was filled with a unique hue tonight.
[Perhaps it could also be called a nightmare for magical girls.]
Lilith narrowed her eyes slightly like a cat, and the corners of her mouth turned up: "Miyu-kun, if you still haven't found your way, Illya might have to be forced to open the door?"
"Oh! Don't be affected, just keep going..."
Overwhelmed with shame, Ilya covered her face, not wanting Miyu to see her in such a disheveled state.
“No, how can we hide things from our good friends?” Lilith pulled Illya’s hands away and gave Illya and Mochizuki Oboro a special close-up.
Miyu's pupils suddenly contracted, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Before entering Illya's instance, Mochizuki Oboro added again: "Your time limit ends when Illya uses her Noble Phantasm three times."
"How awful!" Lilith patted Mochizuki Oboro's shoulder. "How did you come up with such an idea?"
"I just wanted to witness the friendship between magical girls."
Mochizuki Oboro was a step behind in blurring her face, then rested her chin on Illya's shoulder: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
With her face flushed, Ilya closed her eyes: "I'll try my best to buy you some time."
Meiyou suppressed the emotions surging within her, and stumbled as she began to search for an exit.
However, each mirror is broadcasting in real time.
“I’ll do the counting~” Lilith stretched out her slender, fair hand, blocking the entrance to the quantum dungeon: “We have to leave Ilya some privacy.”
