Luo Zhizhou, male, from Heping County, Zhonghe Province, officially became a Magical Girl on April 30, 2012, initially rated as… S-Class.
Codename—Porcelain Moon.
This was an experience Luo Zhizhou had tried countless times to keep hidden.
Coincidentally, his true identity was also classified and not to be disclosed, so only a few people knew that Porcelain Moon, one of Hua Country’s original twelve S-Class Magical Girls, was actually Luo Zhizhou.
After Chi You was annihilated, the Extradimensional Beast disasters on the Shenzhou Continent sharply declined.
He chose to retire, sealing his Magical Core within the Magic Control Bureau and no longer acting as a Magical Girl—though he still retained some transformation ability.
So how did he become a Magical Girl? This was an experience Luo Zhizhou was reluctant to mention, and even now, he hadn’t fully understood why this absurd identity had changed his entire life.
“Ma Xinyin, what do you need from me?”
Receiving a call from the Director of the Central Magic Administration Bureau of Zhonghe Province, Luo Zhizhou felt a bit worried.
“You know about today’s extermination mission, right?”
“Of course, what’s up? Want me to make an appearance?”
Ma Xinyin paused for a moment, took a breath, and said, “That’s right.”
“Wait, isn’t my sister there? I figure that no matter how strong this beast is, it can only be Kingdom-Class.”
Luo Zhizhou already knew it was this matter that she was calling about. Every time Ma Xinyin called, it was never good news.
“Unfortunately, Luo Xi just left for Donghai City a few days ago and can’t come back anytime soon. Similar Extradimensional Beast signs have broken out across the country, and you’re the only S-Class in Zhonghe Province available.”
“Do I have to go out there?” Luo Zhizhou still wanted to negotiate terms.
“You don’t have a choice. The car is already waiting at the community gate.”
“You old hag…”
She hung up on him.
Luo Zhizhou looked back at the man next to him and sneered.
“Go ahead and report me, I’m just being a pervert!”
The man was clearly irritated. “You don’t want the toast? Then have the punishment!”
“Blah blah blah!”
Luo Zhizhou tossed him aside and hurried to the community entrance.
The community security guard blocked his way—a burly man.
“I received a report that there’s a hooligan breaking into the community—that’d be you, right?” The guard puffed up his chest as he spoke.
Luo Zhizhou glanced toward the entrance, noticing a few men in green military uniforms approaching, so he teased, “That’s right, come and get me!”
Seeing his arrogance, the guard grabbed Luo Zhizhou’s collar and hoisted him up.
But just as he did, the soldiers arrived, noticing the scuffle, and quickly restrained the guard. Luo Zhizhou almost fell but was steadied by one of the soldiers.
The guard, large and imposing, was pinned to the ground by a soldier who looked small but held him firmly.
Before the guard could figure out what was happening, Luo Zhizhou was taken away.
“What are you doing, kid?”
Inside the camouflage-painted military vehicle sent to pick him up, a display screen faced him, showing Ma Xinyin’s face.
“Know your place and don’t cause unnecessary trouble,” Ma Xinyin scolded.
“You old hag calling me ‘kid’ now?” Luo Zhizhou wasn’t bothered by her reprimand.
“If you say ‘old hag’ again… I’ll have to discipline you! Don’t forget you’re still under Magic Control Bureau jurisdiction.”
“Ah… Okay, Sister Ma, I’m sorry. Now, tell me the details of the mission.” Luo Zhizhou put his hands behind his head and crossed his legs.
“Good, finally getting serious. The mission site is an abandoned town in the mountains of Baiyun County. We detected a giant beast lair underground, suspected to house a Kingdom-Class Aberrant Beast.”
“This afternoon, there was a battle with a Duke-Class creature. The Magical Girl Squad suffered heavy casualties and cannot clear the lair themselves.”
“So you want me to do the dirty work?”
“Do the dirty work or not, it’s up to you. Your primary objective is to deal with that Kingdom-Class beast with as little collateral damage as possible.”
“Fighting? That’s my specialty. Leave it to me.”
“Glad to hear it. Your Magical Core is still sealed at the Magic Administration Bureau Headquarters. My people will take you there. After you transform on your own, someone will escort you to the mission site. I’ll be waiting there.”
Luo Zhizhou looked out the window, which had one-way glass, so the outside remained dim.
“Didn’t expect to be working so late. I want to sleep…”
“Don’t even think about sleeping here. The mission is tomorrow.” Ma Xinyin’s voice suddenly startled him.
“You old… Sister Ma, always spying on me isn’t nice.”
“How much privacy do you think you have?”
“197197……”
Finally, they arrived at the Magic Control Bureau building. To be honest, Luo Zhizhou still felt nostalgic for this building.
Though it was already around eight or nine in the evening, the staff had not left yet. This incident was forcing everyone to work overtime through the night.
Getting out of the car, Luo Zhizhou entered the building alone.
Ma Xinyin had given him a special ID card. Since he wasn’t actually a Magic Control Bureau employee in normal form, he couldn’t enter without the special authorization.
Taking the elevator, a bespectacled young woman happened to be in the same car.
Luo Zhizhou pressed for the 115th floor. The woman glanced at him with a puzzled look, as if seeing a weirdo.
Floors 110 to 115 were private levels for Magical Girls; generally only Magical Girls and a few relevant female staff had access.
Feeling the atmosphere grow awkward, Luo Zhizhou casually said, “Hey miss, I’m new here. What department are you in? Let’s get acquainted.”
Unexpectedly, this ‘weirdo’ started the conversation. The young woman shyly said, “Sir, I’m in logistics…”
Seeing her so shy, Luo Zhizhou had to admire his own charm. It was purely because the county town had no taste that no one had looked his way before—look at this big city girl, blushing just by seeing him!
That’s true aesthetics!
He couldn’t help but grin, which made the girl even more flustered.
Thankfully, they soon reached her floor, and she quickly escaped from the ‘weirdo’s’ clutches.
“I should have asked for her contact info… What a shame, I can’t miss someone who fancies me.”
Luo Zhizhou regretted, completely unaware that a legend about a pervert sneaking into the Magical Girl floors would soon spread around the Magic Control Bureau office.
“Aja…”
***
They arrived at the 115th floor.
Stepping out of the elevator, the previously dark floor lights all switched on.
“No one here? As expected, that old hag already arranged for no one to notice me.”
Luo Zhizhou entered the sealing chamber, found his number, and entered the password. Ma Xinyin remotely granted him access.
A thick protective door opened, and he retrieved the Magical Core stored within the magnetic field.
“Your clothes have already been placed in your room,” Ma Xinyin had told him before.
Finding his room, Luo Zhizhou sighed. He hadn’t expected the room to still be his after two years.
It had recently been cleaned.
On the bed lay his clothes.
