Alisa and Frenska read the message sent through Angke's ring. It turned out their guess was right. It was a mission message delivered to both of them.
“An order to Alisa Garbareva from 2-F class and Frenska Albertovia from 2-F class to immediately gather in the school hall. Signed, Mrs. Rumia Firlidina.”
One of the teachers had called them both to gather in the school hall. Therefore, they had to obey her orders. The two of them then changed their pajamas and rushed to the hall.
After arriving at the school hall, there were 6 female students who had gathered there, and 3 of them were seniors from 3-E class who were known to be arrogant, namely Sophie Alkatiri and her two friends, Rinka Sukhova and Jouiria Valderlia. After seeing the arrival of Alisa and Frenska, the three of them looked at them cynically, especially after the incident that afternoon.
“Tch ... why are those two kids here?” Sophie muttered in a low voice.
Not long after, the sender of the message, who was also their teacher, Rumia Firlidina, appeared right in front of the stage like the wind. The attention of the eight students was immediately diverted to the teacher.
“Good evening, my students.”
“Mrs. Rumia,” said a student.
“I would like to apologize for calling you on this cool night. However, there is one mission that you must carry out,” said the teacher.
“A mission?”
Rumia continued her explanation.
“As per our radar surveillance, there are some suspicious movements around Tovnik Forest, 15 kilometers southeast of here. Since it is not a very urgent matter, I only order you to check the area. However, if you find anything suspicious, report it here immediately and we will send assistance. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Mrs. Rumia.”
“Okay. Then hurry up. I hope you girls can come back safely.”
The magical girls set off towards their destination.
Thirty minutes passed. Before they knew it, Alisa and Frenska had arrived in the Tovnik Forest area. They walked on a small dirt road that had two intersections, one road leading to the village and the other road leading to the ruins of an ancient building.
"So far it's still safe, but we have to remain vigilant," Alisa told Frenska.
“Yes,” she answered while taking out her weapon, a green staf that she named ‘Green Elder’.
Everything seemed normal, nothing strange. The sound of crickets at night and the cold wind blowing accompanied their mission. But it didn't last long until a movement was seen in front of them, or more precisely from behind the bushes at the intersection. The two of them then prepared their weapons to fight, but it turned out that someone familiar to them came out from the bushes.
“Huh..., how about we just finish it here, Alisa Garbareva?”
Three girls came out of the bushes, none other than their seniors, Sophie Alkatiri, Rinka Sukhova, and Jouiria Valderlia. The three of them looked at Alisa and Frenska with a cynical look.
“Sis Sophie?”
“I still can’t forgive you for what happened this afternoon. And now is the time for us to teach you a lesson.”
Sophie pointed her sword at Alisa and Frenska. Meanwhile, Rinka took out a gray spear and Jouiria summoned a shotgun.
“Wait, Sis. Now is not the time for us to fight,” Alisa tried to hold them back.
“She’s right. Our purpose here is just to check this area,” Frenska added.
“Shut up!! I will teach you a lesson about causing trouble with us.”
Ignoring their words, Sophie immediately ran towards Alisa and Frenska to attack them. Both Alisa and Frenska were forced to take a defensive position. But unexpectedly, Sophie's footsteps were stopped by a strange gust of wind. The wind felt colder than usual.
“Tch, what is this?” Sophie was surprised.
“What a strange wind. Could it be ...”
Before they fully realized it, the wind from the south suddenly blew hard, accompanied by the appearance of a very thick fog. The fog was apparently created by water magic. Visibility was also blocked by that.
In this shocking situation, Alisa immediately jumped onto a tall tree branch behind her and covered her head to avoid the mist, worried that the magic mist contained dangerous poison.
“What really happened?” she wondered.
Her gaze was focused on the thick fog before she finally realized something.
“Oh wait, Frenska?”
The magic mist slowly disappeared from the surface of the ground, but Frenska and her three seniors had disappeared. Who knows where.
"Huh? they lost? Where are they?”
Alisa looked confused, looking for her partner. In that condition, her magical sensory ability detected enemies ready to attack her. She looked in various directions.
“Where is she? Front, left, right, back, down …”
Alisa searches for the enemy's whereabouts before finally realizing it.
“Above!!”
Just as she looked up at the sky, she saw a human shadow covering part of the full moon.
“Enemy!!”
Alisa immediately jumped quickly from the tree branch before the mysterious figure hit her until it broke. Alisa prepared to fight back with her dagger. Illuminated by the light of the Folmane moon, the real form of the figure was finally visible.
She was a girl with her face covered by a robe that was almost the same as the one Alisa wore. Her hand held a fairly large sword resembling a meat cleaver with two square holes for the eyes. Its glint was visible from the moonlight. From her appearance, it was certain that she was a Vitanian magical girl.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?” Alisa asked with her face covered by her robe.
The mysterious girl was surprised to hear Alisa's voice, as if she heard a voice that was familiar to her. But she didn't pay much attention to it and instead attacked Alisa with the sword she was holding. A swordsfight was inevitable.
TRINGG TRINGG
When there was a chance for Alisa to attack her legs, the mysterious girl quickly did a backward somersault. The position of her two hands looked like a bird in flight. There was no mistake, it was the 'Eastern Sky Swan Technique', one of the most famous 'Dancing Art' styles in Vitania.
The mysterious girl leaned on a tree trunk before darting to counterattack Alisa. Fortunately, she quickly realized that and immediately used her special hand-to-hand combat technique, ‘Winter Whirlwind Dance’.
The ‘Dancing Art’ utilizes the wind generated by the opponent’s attack to spin her around and launch a counterattack. Alisa managed to avoid the attack and kicked the girl’s upper back, sending her flying quite far. However, her martial arts style was not yet perfect, causing Alisa to lose her balance.
“Ughh ...”
As if not giving up, the mysterious girl prepared to launch another attack. But this time she lowered her body, taking a stance with both hands holding the sword to her left. Her body was seen above a puddle of water. She then chanted an incantation before the sound of dripping water was heard. It seemed like she was going to use a magic technique.
“Ryst Silka!!”
Her prediction was right. The mysterious girl immediately shot towards Alisa, using the puddle as a spring. Alisa, who was surprised to see her, immediately spun her dagger and pointed it forward with her open left palm, before she cast an incantation to block the attack.
“Vaia!!”
A magical shield made of a whirlwind formed before the mysterious girl hit her. Because the attack was quite powerful, both of them were thrown far away until the covers of their robes came off.
“Aghh ...”
Alisa was thrown back and hit the tree behind her. Luckily, the impact was not too significant for her. She was still able to stand although a little unsteady as she approached the mysterious girl who was blocked by dust from the attack.
The mysterious girl bowed tiredly due to the magic created by Alisa. A small wound was visible on her cheek. The dust slowly disappeared, blown by the wind and made the girl's head more visible.
“You?”
Alisa was shocked after she saw her true form. The girl then turned to Alisa. Her beautiful and cold face was finally clearly visible. They faced each other. Alisa was stunned to see her face. Her mouth was wide open and she could barely say anything.
“Flo?”
***
The cold night wind blew her long hair. The graceful and cold face was clearly visible through the full moon. The woman just kept quiet, looking at Alisa Garbareva, who was confused after seeing her face. She really didn't expect to meet her old friend again after eight years of separation due to a tragedy.“Flo, what's wrong? What really happened?”That Vitanian girl stood facing her while leaving her sword lying on the ground.“Alisa. It's been a long time since we met, huh?”“But why? Why are you like this? What really happened to you?”Flo was silent for a moment before saying three words.“Despair, prosperity, justice.”A strong gust of wind interrupted their conversation. Alisa, who heard those three words, wondered what she meant by those words. Before she could question it, Floria spoke again.“At first we didn’t know what was out there because we were still children. But now we are adult enough to understand it. To understand the hidden veil of this kingdom.”“What do you mea
Morning has come. The blue star Formalha shines again over Kartovik. On this bright day, it is time for Alisa to leave her school to carry out the Acceleration Program to a region known to be closed and mysterious, the Vitania Autonomous Region in the east of the Kingdom of Archipelahia.Today Frenska is still asleep because it's afternoon class. Meanwhile, Alisa had already packed up all her things without disturbing her roommate's deep sleep.“Okay, it's done.”She got ready to leave. But before leaving her room, she first put on a pair of special gloves given to her by the principal.“Wear these gloves throughout the program. They will protect your identity as a Karelian magical girl,” the principal said as she handed it to her before departure.Alisa walked towards the gate of the school complex. Sophie was seen, who was now with her five friends, looking at the girl again with sarcasm, but this time she didn't care.“I have to go to Kivinik now,” Alisa muttered.By riding the Car
The crowing of roosters in the morning can be heard clearly here, something that is impossible to find in Kartovik or other big cities. This is because Vestaria itself is just a small, rundown town. The asphalt roads here are full of holes, some of which are still dirt. The sidewalks for pedestrians are also filled with garbage, and livestock that roam the streets add to the slum impression of this city.However, this did not discourage Alisa from starting her research on the Vitanian community, starting from this small town.“Yosh. Let’s get started.”Initially, Alisa wanted to interview the grandmother who owns the house where she currently lives. However, because she was sick and sleeping, she decided against it and chose to look for another source at Vestarlut Market, a trading place located less than a kilometer from her residence.“Wow, it’s so crowded.”Like most markets, there are many people buying and selling in this place. From various foodstuffs to household goods, everyth
BROOM BROOMA two-wheeled vehicle was seen speeding down a highway in the middle of the forest. The vehicle, called Motosicca, was being driven by two girls. They were heading from Vestaria to a larger city in the middle of the Vitania mainland.“So, I have to leave Vestaria, Flo?” asked Alisa, who was riding behind.“Too bad you have to do that. You won’t get anything there,” Flo replied."Oh, I see?"“If you want to get better information, you should go to a bigger city,” the Vitanian girl continued.Alisa was forced to follow her friend's advice.After speeding through the night fog, they finally arrived at a small district on the hillside. The district was directly connected to the big city ahead. It was called Selenaberg, named after the hill behind the district.“Well, we're here.”They stopped at a fairly large old house with two floors which was none other than Floria's residence.“Wow, it’s so big. So this is your house now, Flo?” Alisa asked.“Yes. I live here now.”They ent
The sun rose into the sky, shining on the land of Vitania on Planet Kamina. The short-haired girl named Alisa Garbareva was seen helping her old friend Floria pick flowers. They picked various types of flowers in the garden to later be sold to the city's people.“Is this enough, Flo?” asked Alisa.“That’s more than enough. Let’s go,” she replied.Riding Motosicca, they went down Selenaberg Hill to reach the city. Only about a kilometer and a half from Flo's house, they could already see a large gate that stretched across the road.“We have arrived. Willkommen in Matrotshaven,” said Flo, which means ‘Welcome to Matrotshaven’ in Vitanian language.“Whoa, it’s so big,” Alisa said in awe.Matrotshaven, the name of a large city south of Selenaberg. Although not the capital of the Vitania Autonomous Region, this city is large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people. The city view is full of shophouses and three to five floors buildings, indicating that the city's economy is tu
“Huh… huh… huh…”“HEY STOP IT YOU DAMN BRAT!!”A man in his 30s was seen chasing someone down a narrow alley and onto the sidewalk next to a main road. The chase briefly caused traffic to be blocked."I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY!!"The man was seen chasing a 13-year-old girl wearing a shabby gray jacket with a hood covering her head. She ran while carrying a medium-sized package in her arms.The child ran to avoid the man behind her. But because she didn't see the road, she was hit by a Motosicca that was driving on the road she was passing.BRUKK“Ahh...”She fell to the asphalt along with the item she was carrying. It was a package containing Clatenda, a type of rice wrapped in leaves.“Oh Gosh.”Flo, who accidentally hit the child, immediately stopped her Motosicca. Alisa also immediately approached her.“Are you okay?” Alisa asked, reaching for the child’s hand.“Uh, I...”“Finally. I got you, you damn thief brat.”The man seemed very upset with her. It seemed like if he caught he
The moon slowly rose above. Unlike usual where Alisa summarized the information she got, this time she was just daydreaming while lying on the bed and hugging a pillow. Flo approached her.“Alisa, aren't you summarizing anymore?”“No. I'll do it later,” she answered in a low voice.“Are you okay? Are you sick?”“No, I’m fine.”Her expression couldn't lie to Flo. Not wanting to say what she was thinking, Flo tried to comfort her.“Huh, A-LI-SA!!”BRUKKThe girl jumped onto the bed, almost causing Alisa to fall over.“Ah, Flo. What’s wrong with you?”While supporting her chin with both hands, Flo, who was lying face down on the bed, looked at Alisa's face.“I see you’re daydreaming. You’re still thinking about Akiha and her family, right?” the long-haired girl asked.“Um…, I…”“It’s okay. We’ll go there again when we have time,” comforted Flo.“That's not what I think.”Alisa shifted her gaze slightly."So what?""I'm afraid something will happen to them," said the girl.Her heart could
Dawn had come. Some people in the city were still fast asleep, but some had already left their homes. Some were rushing to work, and some were just cleaning their yards.The door of a small apartment was opened slowly by a woman so as not to cause any noise around her. She entered the room and closed the door slowly again.“It seems everyone is still fast asleep,” the woman thought.But her guess was wrong. Just as she closed the door, the room's lights suddenly turned on and surprised her. Two young girls were standing in front of her.“Sis Katie.”“Hey, Alisa, Flo, are you guys awake?”“Where have you been?” Flo asked with a sharp gaze.“Well, I just went out for a moment to buy-”Katie tried to dodge it, but Flo already knew everything.“No. You’ve been out since midnight. I know that.”“Hey, what do you mean, Flo?” Katie asked, with an innocent expression.“Why did you lie to us? Why did you do such a bad thing?” Flo asked firmly. Meanwhile, Alisa could only remain silent behind h
Dark clouds began to cover the light of Formalha, a sign that rain would fall in the royal capital of Sentralberg. The wind also blew, although not hard.Meanwhile, in the city center, the sound of explosions, gunfire, and magic fights were no longer heard. The surrender of Rocky Calais was a sign that the liberation operation was over. They had all won.Princess Inori approached Rocky Calais, who was already bowing his head without both of his hands. The last granddaughter of Sazali Fatir took the crown that was already covered in blood beside the man."With this it's all over, Rocky Calais," Inori said firmly.The man did not respond and just lowered his head dejectedly.The wind stopped blowing. The atmosphere became quiet. However, the scream of a tomboyish girl suddenly broke the silence.“HEY, SIS ALISA!! SIS ALISA!!”Inori turned towards the source of the voice. A magical girl in a blue crop top and shorts and a white sailor hat was seen trying to wake up another girl in front
WHOOSHHThe extremely strong whirlwind suddenly disappeared without a reason. The magic circle that had been spinning in the air also disappeared without a trace. Now all that was visible was Alisa Garbareva, who was raising her dagger to the sky without being surrounded by any magic, and Linne Helenawicz, who was holding her senior's leg. Not long after, the Telhi girl lowered her hand and let go of her dagger. They were safe.“Huh, thank goodness, I made it,” Linne said while panting.Everyone was immediately stunned, some of them sighed after the event that almost destroyed the entire surface of Planet Kamina almost happened.“Huff...”Princess Inori sighed with her hand on her chest. She was speechless seeing the tomboyish girl’s bold actions.The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, but the silence was erased after two people broke down the lower door of the palace. A man in a black suit with a fedora hat was seen accompanied by a short-haired magical girl. Both of them looked panic
The wind blew harder. The sound of gunfire and magic explosions could still be heard throughout the royal capital of Sentralberg. But there was nothing else that Alisa Garbareva could do. The Telhi girl just knelt down with a blank stare. In front of her lay the stiff body of her friend, Floria Fresilca, who no longer had the Angke ring on her finger.Meanwhile, in front of her stood a man with a proud face, complete with his grandeur. He smiled broadly as if he had won the fight."So cool," he said.Shortly after, from the door behind Alisa came out a number of people with various weapons, magical girls with their Posacca and a number of young men armed with Politia. Also appearing was a young woman who was the leader of the movement.“Rocky Calais.”Beside the young woman, there was also a magical girl armed with a silver gun who immediately responded when she saw the two people who were familiar with her."Sis Alisa."She was about to approach the two, but was immediately stopped b
“Cough Cough...”The dust flying from the rubble made both of them cough. The two girls fell from the top floor due to an explosion and were thrown to the ground floor. But fortunately they were still safe.Slowly, the dust cleared, and they could both see what was happening around them.“Huh? So this is...”Alisa and Floria were so amazed to see the great battle that was happening right in front of their very eyes. Askars, Patrols, magical girls, and even ordinary people, all united in the fight against the guards of Sentralberg.Alisa looked in various directions. Several people were seen fighting each other using weapons. Ordinary people along with Patrol and Askar used Politia, while the magical girl used Posacca. Meanwhile, in the sky, the 'Skyoldir' shield magic was also seen that locked them all there.She also looked to the side. There were a number of people lying helplessly, one of whom was a silver-haired young man. Maybe they had died because they were hit by the rubble fr
The cold air penetrated their skin. Slowly, they both opened their eyes.“Where is this?”The two girls found themselves lying on the floor in a cold and quite dark room. They looked around. There was some strange silver equipment stored in a white cabinet.“This is a laboratory?”Alisa slowly tried to get up. So did Floria, who was also lying beside her. They seemed still confused about what happened, why they were in that place."Ah, damn. That Iskarius," Flo seemed to have realized it.“Flo? Who?” Alisa wondered what her friend meant.“Iskarius, the advisor of the Governor of Karelia. He turned out to be a spy for the central kingdom. And he managed to kidnap us to this place,” Flo explained.“Oh, is that so?”Alisa just stood there, speechless.“Oh yeah, by the way, where are we?” asked the Telhi girl again.Flo shook her head.“I don’t know either. But it seems like this is somewhere in Sentralberg. The equipment here is very modern,” the Vitanian girl replied.Just as she said t
The fedora hat he was wearing was handed to a short-haired girl in similar attire beside him. The man then saluted the king and the four regional heads. He seemed to be smiling at everyone, but it was clear that his expression was just a sly smile. At least that was what Governor Alistair thought.“Once again, I apologize for the delay,” said Bob.“Enough. Don’t talk about it anymore. Now let’s get back to the main discussion,” said Rocky.Bob, with the file in his left hand, then stood beside the king."So, how far has the discussion of this meeting come, Your Majesty?" asked Bob again.“Ah, I’m glad you asked.”The king then pointed at the four regional heads with an angry expression.“They are lousy. The four of them even blamed me for all the problems in the autonomous region due to their incompetence. And when I was about to kick them, they cunningly played with me. The Schwitz Forest, the blackstone mine, they said it's all my fault.”The four regional heads were silent after he
The blue starlight of Formalha shone over Sentralberg that morning. The hustle and bustle of Carreta and Motosicca passing by on the black asphalt streets colored the atmosphere of the royal capital of the Kingdom of Archipelahia. Unlike the chaotic conditions in the autonomous region, here almost everyone was doing their activities as usual.Likewise at the Silver Palace where the King of Archipelahia reigns. There is nothing too urgent. Only a few additional guard troops are seen at several points. The blue flag of Archipelahia still flies proudly at the top of the highest pole.The conditions inside the palace were not very different. A number of guards were seen walking back and forth, while some others stood straight whenever a regional official walked in front of them.A young man in a black suit with a yellow sun badge in his pocket walked past the guards. A young brown-haired girl in casual long-sleeved clothes and a not-too-wide skirt was also seen walking beside him graceful
Secret location, Capital of Chekovia, Vitania Autonomous Region.A large hall-like room stood majestically within the giant underground chamber. The room was estimated to be large enough to accommodate nearly 10,000 people. Currently, around 8,000 more magical girls belonging to the Vitanian Frontline Witches Brigade have been gathered there. Most of them were the brigade's top brass and high-ranking magical girls who held important roles in the paramilitary organization with nearly 100,000 members.“A general meeting? Is there something so important that we are all called here?”“I don’t know, this is a direct order from the main leader.”“If this many people have gathered, it means there will be a big operation. Could this be the peak of our struggle?”“That’s great. We’re just one step away from gaining independence.”The magical girls talking to each other broke the atmosphere that night. Not long after, the main leader of the Witches Brigade, Sylvie Schwartz, who was standing in
The wind was blowing quite hard in that sunny weather. Less than 24 hours until the big plan that had been agreed upon in the secret meeting would be implemented. But on the surface of the ground there was almost no one. Everything seemed quiet.Alisa sat on a park bench, but there were no flowers blooming around her. All there was an empty area that was almost level with the ground. A small amount of building debris was visible that had not been cleared. The atmosphere of the eastern Kartovik area was now like a dead city, maybe even like a vast expanse of unclaimed land.Alisa closed her eyes and looked up at the sky. She remembered everything that had happened in that place with her friends.“Soon, all this suffering will end. But, it’s too quiet. I’m lonely,” Alisa said to herself.Tears slowly dripped from the corners of the Telhi girl's eyes. She really missed everything. Peaceful life, school, and friends. But now it's all gone.In the midst of the silence, she heard the faint
