The heat was so intense in front of their faces. The twelve nurses in black gowns with white patterns on their necks tried to find people who could still be saved. Unfortunately, almost all the houses here have been destroyed by fire.“Is there anyone else here?” a nurse shouted.There was barely any sound to be heard other than the sound of fire slowly consuming the wooden buildings. Although it’s part of the Wallenstein District of Telhi City, the village is still too far from the downtown. The help had also not arrived because it had to go through quite dense jungle.“Is someone here?” another nurse shouted again.Despite risking their lives, these nurses were willing to do it just to save the remaining people from that horrific event. The smell of burning materials mixed with the smell of blood and corpses, all in this place.“This is terrible,” a silver-haired nurse muttered.Armed with only minimal equipment and no weapons, these nurses tried to help anyone who was still alive. T
The boy's slap aimed at Flo was prevented by the nurse. Weiss Karny, who had just treated Alisa's wound, held the boy's hand and glared at him.“Si-sister Weiss?”“What are you doing, Abraham? Slapping a girl, is this what we taught you?”The two boys behind him looked panicked after seeing the nurse's expression that was about to scold them. But it was different with the boy named Abraham. He rebelled against her instead.“But Sister Weiss, she is Vitanian. The ones who wiped out our family here. I will never be able to reconcile with her.”Abraham looks very angry at Flo, hating her background. The girl just listened to Abraham's words, unable to say anything. But Sister Weiss immediately advised him.“Listen to this, Abraham. Even though she is a Vitanian and you are a Karelian, we are still both Hamu Kamina, right, both Kamina humans?”“That’s ..., I ...”“We were all born in the Kingdom of Archipelahia, right? So why should we hate each other just because of different ethnicities?
BOOMThe fireballs that burst in the sky hit various objects on the ground. Roads, gardens, and even people's houses were all hit by that and burned badly. The city sirens sounded. The peace and tranquility immediately turned into fear and panic.“THERE’S BEEN AN ATTACK!! THERE’S BEEN AN ATTACK!!”“HELP!! MY HOUSE IS BURNED!!”“My son, where is my son?”People screamed and scattered on the streets, ran here and there without any direction. Including the children in the orphanage. They screamed and cried saw the atmosphere that suddenly changed like a war. Everything was chaotic, the nurses were overwhelmed with handling them.Alisa and Floria were frozen in thatplace, only able to see and hear the panic behind the window.“What is, this?”Abraham and his two friends who had bought something at the food stall also did not escape the panic. They threw the food they had bought, the three of them immediately returned to the orphanage while ran to save themselves. But unfortunately, bad luc
“NOOO!!”KRIIINNNGGGThe alarm sounded as a sign that morning had arrived. The light from the blue star Formalha that had just risen from the eastern horizon dazzled her eyes from the window. Alisa woke up from the terrible dream, and just realized that she was in her dorm room.“Oh, it’s morning already?” she said as she looked in the mirror and rubbed her eyes. Her hair looked messy.“It’s time for school.”Alisa rushed to clean herself and then had breakfast with the menu provided by the dormitory manager. Wearing a uniform consisting of a short-sleeved shirt and a short white skirt with a gray pattern, she rushed to school.Eight years after the horrific event, Alisa and other child survivors were moved to Kartovik. There they started a new life, including going to school. Alisa, now 14, attends Kartovik Girls High School, a large school that can accommodate more than a thousand students.Classes start at 8 am. The students rushed to their school building, which was about 100 meter
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 teac
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
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
