The preliminary round of the Saint Karno School Campus Idol Competition takes place in the first month of the school year, with only two days left before the registration deadline.
After completing the registration, the first thing the Magical Girl did was tell Shami.
The two met on the school path, and Shami looked at the black-haired girl in front of him with satisfaction.
"Things are progressing very smoothly, Saili. However, just registering isn’t enough; there’s still a lot waiting for us. Let’s go, we need to stay ahead."
Shami led the Magical Girl towards the center of the school.
The Magical Girl was slightly puzzled.
"Where are we going?"
"To the central lawn of the school."
"Saili, the Idol Competition has already begun the moment you registered."
Shami glanced at the Magical Girl. Newest update provided by n0velfire.net
"To gain enough popularity in the Idol Competition, you need to work hard on stage, but you also need to operate off stage. If you want everyone to remember you and support you when you’re on stage, you must let them know of your existence before the competition starts."
The Magical Girl was touched internally.
The village agent unexpectedly seemed reliable.
Shami purposefully led the Magical Girl to the central lawn of the academy.
The central lawn, located in the center of Saint Karno School, is one of the main places for student leisure and entertainment.
Currently, students wearing school uniforms could be seen moving around and chatting, creating a lively atmosphere.
"If you can create a stir here and let everyone know you, then your pre-competition exposure will be adequate. With enough exposure before the competition, you can easily leave other contestants far behind, ensuring a spot in the semi-finals."
The Magical Girl was confident in her looks.
"I feel like I’ll make it to the finals no matter what..."
"Of course, I think so too. But the fans who focus on and support you from the beginning are the most solid base. To fight for popularity, you must have your followers from the very start!"
Shami’s words made the Magical Girl resolute.
"Perform your talent here and let everyone recognize you."
Shami selected a spot.
The Magical Girl hesitated for a moment, looking around; the lawn was crowded with people.
Initially upon arriving at the lawn, the natural posture turned reserved, and upon hearing about performing talent, the body became tense.
"Magical Girls don’t really have talents to perform, they look glamorous but are actually just ordinary girls with strong magic skills."
The Magical Girl hurriedly approached Shami and explained in a low voice.
Shami shook his head; at this moment, every movement exuded the aura of an agent.
"Only a few days left until the preliminary round. You must let the whole school know you’re participating in the Idol Competition before then."
Shami said, pointing out a path for the Magical Girl.
"You can take inspiration from the people around."
The Magical Girl looked around.
A man was demonstrating his body flexibility, continuously doing somersaults.
"Grass, go, ignore, ignore, ignore!"
A man was performing culinary skills on the edge of the lawn, emitting a foul smell from a hamburger being made in his hands.
"No worries about three meals a day, freshly made secret little burger! Made by Senior Year 19 from the Chef Academy, personal gourmet creation! Come and try it!"
"Is it a talent show or a social death act! The first one is just endlessly doing uninteresting somersaults, right? Guess why the second one hasn’t graduated yet even though he’s Senior Year 19? Eating that thing would probably be deadly, right!"
The Magical Girl anxiously looked at Shami.
"Doing such things would only attract abstract fans, being mistaken for an abstract fun seeker or something, how could one compete for the Saintess of Fata ."
Indeed, since the ultimate goal is to compete for the Saintess, daily image maintenance is necessary.
Just as Shami was pondering hard, a commotion occurred not far away.
People on the lawn fled, and a gigantic eagle soared, its massive wings rapidly fluttering and creating a huge gust of wind, fleeing outside the school.
"Quick, report to the Biological Garden’s teacher, Kato Taka escaped from the Biological Garden!"
"How can there be such a creature? Must those claws be formidable?! Is it an homage, a game planner’s tribute?! Is this a visual novel game?!"
Upon hearing the name, Shami fell into deep thought.
Chaos erupted on the lawn, scattering small objects everywhere.
As the gigantic eagle was about to leave the school, the Magical Girl pulled out her Magic Wand and softly chanted a Curse.
The entire eagle was enveloped in a huge ice cluster, collapsing to the ground, struggling powerlessly.
Soon, several employees from the Biological Garden hurried over to stop the chaos, taking the eagle back to the Biological Garden.
"Sorry, sorry, this eagle’s claws are particularly sharp, surprisingly found the weak point in the Biological Garden’s netting, breaking it with fast-moving claws."
After the disturbance ended, almost everyone on the lawn looked towards the Magical Girl who just took action.
Although the Magical Girl was wearing a school uniform, she still wore the insignia of Fata on her chest.
For a moment, the crowd boiled over.
"Wait, isn’t this Saili Borrel?"
"Hey! The once-in-a-century genius from Fata? Just learned she’s here!"
"I think I saw her name on the Campus Idol Competition entry list!"
"Effortlessly handling Kato Taka, is this the power of a Magical Girl?"
