She backed away step by step, facing the Remnant Beasts, staring intently at the opposition. It wasn't until she felt the cold wind whooshing in from outside the window that she realized she had no way out, yet the Remnant Beasts continued to press forward relentlessly.
So, what exactly is the situation now?
Her gaze gradually grew distant as Hong Siyu leaned against the window, sliding down somewhat powerlessly to sit.
The long-awaited school festival was ruined by an attack from the Remnant Beasts, destroying what should have been a leisurely day.
There were so many people at the scene, but the Remnant Beasts pursued her relentlessly, even following her all the way into the classroom of the academic building.
She had just run into a boy she had some interest in, but in such a messy situation, he had even jumped out of a window in a state of mental collapse.
She couldn't help but speak up, her voice trembling slightly, "Why do I have to be so unlucky?"
They say every cloud has a silver lining, but her life so far had been a single shade of grey, and now it seemed she was doomed to die prematurely at the claws of the Remnant Beasts. She had so many things she still wanted to do; wasn't all hope lost now?
She truly had no other options.
In such a small and enclosed space, she couldn't possibly escape from the claws of the Remnant Beasts; obviously, a monster like that wouldn't reason with her and simply let her go.
"Is there a Magical Girl out there?"
In the end, she could only lift her head and shout into the void in defeat, but after saying these words, she couldn't help but laugh at her own foolishness: "Why am I even saying such stupid things?"
She watched as the Remnant Beasts approached her, opened its huge mouth once again in front of her. She could even smell the foul breath from its mouth.
But this time, there would be no one to grab her hand and flee with her.
"...Forget it, it's so pointless, just finish it."
She closed her eyes in resignation: "Someone as unlucky as me could never encounter a Magical Girl."
——"That's not necessarily true."
A detached and clear voice arose from behind her.
The voice was lively and melodious, like a nightingale singing in the night, resonant and piercing. Just hearing that voice made Hong Siyu feel as if her spirit had been refreshed.
Then, she felt blue light flowing past her face, and a petite figure brushed past her.
The sudden appearance of this figure also startled the Remnant Beasts.
The Remnant Beasts, sensing a threat from the petite figure, raised its claws without hesitation and mercilessly launched an attack on it as it darted forward.
Acting on instinct, its counterattack was nothing if not swift. However, within the azure light, the small figure remained unmoved.
"Opus Three, Piercer of Saras."
The crisp voice chanted a series of phrases, then a shining blue lance sprang from her hands, piercing straight through the chest of the Remnant Beast. The lance, carrying an immense force and momentum, sent the Remnant Beasts flying out.
With a brilliance that Hong Siyu couldn't even see clearly, the lance erupted in dazzling light and then pinned the Remnant Beasts against the classroom wall with it.
The fight was over in an instant. The fierce and imposing Remnant Beasts were no match for the small girl, who took it down in just a brief encounter.
Then, the girl landed gracefully before Hong Siyu.
She stood still, turned around, and her navy blue dress swirled with her movement, reminiscent of a blooming Cornflower. The large Bonnet on her head trembled slightly from the action, adding a sense of spirited liveliness. The girl's delicate and adorable face was turned toward Hong Siyu, her calm demeanor tinged with a touch of warmth:
——"Because, the Magical Girl has come."
