Leisure time always flies by.
A few days have passed in the blink of an eye.
After Adam became a teacher at Mitakihara, he had a lot of free time. As a counselor, he only works when students come to him for advice.
But of course, students of this age generally don't come to the counseling center to see him.
When none come, he slowly corrupts the internet, uploads its database to [Great Sage], and then has her upload it all to his brain.
It's not a matter of if, but a matter of when Kyubey discovers this. He wants to delay that time as much as possible
"Sigh…"
Adam rubbed his nose, his blue eyes narrowed with fatigue as he received another infusion of knowledge.
Since this world is advanced due to the involvement of the Incubators, it also has a lot of obscure and new knowledge for him.
Of course, rather than entirely new, it's more correct to say it's different, in a novel way.
However-
He is starting to miss his old Vigilante days. While this peaceful and leisurely life isn't bad… Well, his time with Mami could also be described like that, but at least that time, he could go around and spend time with a beautiful girl.
After the new cycle, Mami no longer remembers him. This means he can no longer sit, wait, and be fed by Mami like a salted fish every day.
Adam is now living with Homura. However, this girl has a quiet and reserved nature. And it's making the silver-haired boy increasingly bored.
It's not that her nature itself is bad; it's just that she speaks too little, and he himself doesn't even know how to converse properly with her sometimes.
-Fortunately, Sayaka often brings Madoka and Hitomi to his place during lunch break.
They seem to have made this their secret spot for a midday break.
Seeing that Adam is young and easy to talk to, they didn't care much about him being a teacher.
Instead, they treat him like a friend every time.
Chatting with them occasionally is pretty nice. That kind of liveliness makes this 'waiting phase' far less boring.
…
..
.
That afternoon, after Adam had finished fishing all day and returned home from work, he sensed the witch's presence.
"That location..."
Adam's expression turned a bit strange.
Today, Hitomi gave Madoka and Sayaka each a ticket to a music performance, inviting them to see the show together with her.
The Witch will appear in that performance hall.
The frequency at which Madoka encounters Witches is very high. It's definitely orchestrated by Kyubey so that it can appear at the critical moment and make her a magical girl.
Adam knows that Homura will definitely be watching. Madoka and the others will be fine, but since he already sensed it, he might as well go and leave a good impression.
…
..
.
Meanwhile, the three girls, who were enjoying the music, were unaware that danger was quietly approaching.
On the stage, the conductor suddenly began to wave his hands wildly.
With his motions, the rhythm of the music began to gradually become chaotic.
"Um?"
Sayaka and Hitomi reacted instantly.
They looked at the stage with puzzled expressions, not understanding why such a big mistake had suddenly occurred during the performance.
Their pinkette friend frowned, noticing something wrong. She reached out to her friends and tugged at their sleeves.
"Hitomi, Sayaka, look around."
Upon hearing her reminder, the two noticed that all the other audience members were staring blankly at the center of the stage with pale faces.
"A-ah…"
The blue-haired girl- Sayaka- took a deep breath, mustering her courage.
She extended a hand and tremblingly poked the person in front of her with her finger.
Silence.
The chaotic music stopped abruptly.
Slowly, all the audience present turned their heads simultaneously, staring blankly at the three girls with expressionless faces.
"G…ah....."
Even Sayaka, who is usually the bravest of the group, got so frightened that she almost gasped.
Even as her legs trembled, she covered her mouth tightly, not daring to say a word or let any sound escape her.
But while the three girls remained silent, the other audience members opened their mouths and began to sing along.
"*%＃＆￥*!%#%*^)!(%&"
It was a song that sounded like the roar of a wild beast and the buzzing of insects; they dared to say it was the least aesthetically pleasing music they had ever heard in their whole lives.
If this was all, they could barely tolerate it-
But as these people continued to sing, their facial features, such as eyeballs, noses, ears, and eyelashes, fell off one by one, leaving only a mouth that kept opening and closing.
The face after these features detached is incredibly smooth, as if it had always been this way.
Not only that, the surrounding walls and ground also began to melt, forming clumps of different colors.
"..A…h…."
This bizarre scene made the three girls tremble, their pupils dilating in fear.
Sayaka, Hitomi, and Madoka huddled together, their bodies uncontrollably shaking.
They had a feeling- they had probably encountered a legendary ghost or demon today!
.
They tried to escape. They tried to leave. But they were surrounded by these strange beings; they had nowhere to run.
.
In the end, they could only cover their mouths tightly again. While trying their best not to make a sound, they hoped to reduce their presence and make these people not notice them.
But as the chaotic music constantly echoed in their ears, the three girls began to have difficulty breathing.
Their consciousness began to blur. They were aware of it, yet they couldn't do anything about it. In the three girls' hearts, despair appeared.
"Oi, I can't let you hurt my lovely student."
A muted noise rang throughout the whole performance hall.
Although it was much quieter than the singing hivemind in the chorus, it easily drowned out the chaotic music and clearly reached the ears of the three girls.
Sayaka, Madoka, and Hitomi jolted awake by the quiet voice that seemed to pierce through their hazy minds and struck them back to sanity.
Then they instantly turned to look at the figure that had suddenly appeared on the stage without their knowledge.
"Adam!"
Madoka shouted in place of her two friends.
All three of them were very surprised by Adam's sudden presence at this moment.
"I'm not late, am I?"
Adam crossed his hands in front of his chest and smiled gently at them.
Without waiting for their reply, he extended his index finger and flicked upwards.
Every shadow in the room stirred and awoke simultaneously. It moved, turning into sharp, pointy shapes and instantly piercing everyone except the three girls
It was anticlimactic, boring, and monotonous. But at this point, Adam can instantly defeat witches of this level within a single move.
…
..
.
After putting the Grief Seed in his [Stomach], the Witch's barrier began to collapse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Adam used telekinesis to carry the three of the girls away from this place.
After landing again, Hitomi collapsed to the ground. And Sayaka and Madoka looked at their now normal surroundings with trembling knees.
"Teacher Adam, what exactly happened?"
Sayaka was the one who regained her composure first to ask what exactly they had just experienced.
"Let the professionals explain."
The silver-haired man put his hands in his pockets lazily, having no intention to actually explain anything.
"A professional?"
Facing Sayaka's and Madoka's confused looks, Adam didn't answer.
Instead, he turned his head and looked towards the corner at the side, where an alleyway was present.
"Oh? Looks like this gentleman has spotted me."
A familiar blond-haired girl- Mami Tomoe, dressed in her magical girl outfit- emerged from inside the alleyway.
"This is your senior, Mami Tomoe." With his head turned towards the now three calmed-down girls, he extended his hand and pointed to the newly emerged elegant girl. "She's a magical girl."
Mami is truly a senior amongst seniors and a good person. Leaving the three to her hands is the best decision one can make.
Or, in the words of the newest generation- she's the goat.
"Hmm? Do I know you?"
As the unknown silver-haired man revealed her identity, Mami looked at him with confusion.
Though a faint hint of familiarity bloomed in her heart upon seeing his face, she had dismissed it because in her memories, she had never met this person before.
So, how does he know her?
"I am a teacher at Mitakihara Middle School." He put one hand at his hip and stared at her honey-brown eyes with a smile. "I have memorized the names and faces of everyone in the school, so of course I know you."
"...Is that so?"
The blond-haired magical girl squinted her eyes, looking at Adam with suspicion.
She felt as though this man was lying, but nothing actually indicated so.
"So….Magical girl?"
Sayaka looked between the two, her eyes shining with a light of excitement.
"Are they the same ones that fight all sorts of monsters and protect the world, like in anime?"
The blue-haired girl's facial expression then immediately crumbled in envy.
How wonderful would such a life be!
"Being a magical girl isn't all sunshine and rainbows, so don't think about it."
Mami looked at them sternly, giving them a serious warning.
"..."
Adam's lips twitched.
He wanted to joke something about tentacles and other stuff; however….It isn't an appropriate time.
"Also, you better forget about what happened today."
Madoka, Hitomi, and Sayaka nodded rapidly, indicating that they understood.
They know their own limitations; They are merely powerless girls, and no one will believe them even if they told others about their experiences.
"So, senpai, you're a magical girl." At Mami's nod, the blue-haired girl then pointed at Adam. "Then what about teacher Adam? Is he a magical boy?"
In anime, only girls can become magical girls and get magical powers. Is it different in the real world?
"Hey." The silver-haired man rolled his eyes at her. "Just because I'm your friend doesn't mean I won't assert my teacher authority and slap you for that!"
Adam raised his hand, palm open in a faux-threatening way.
"Ehe, I was just guessing. Teacher, please have mercy!"
Sayaka scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Then don't guess." He shrugged at her. "Just treat me as someone with special superpowers."
Since magical girls and monsters such as Witches exist, it shouldn't be that unrealistic for people with superpowers to exist, right?
Even if it is, the evidence is right in front of them- him.
"Superpowers..."
Shizuki Hitomi murmured to herself, her eyes slowly lighting up.
She then snapped her head towards the silver-haired man and quickly asked him:
"Mr. Adam, do you have a way to heal people?"
