My Superpower Is Piloting Magical Girl Corpses?

This death left a piercing sting in his mind that surpassed anything he had ever experienced before.

That torrent of despair hadn’t just annihilated Mengmengxiang’s body along with her spirit outfit’s protective field—it had also dealt a significant blow to Lin Guang’s psyche.

It was as if he had been attacked directly through the screen.

That sword had fucking pierced through the dimensional wall.

Yet with just a thought, Lin Guang’s nosebleed instantly stopped, no longer flowing.

On his retina, a few lines of cold, pale blue text slowly materialized.

[You died.]

[Mission Evaluation: D-Rank]

[Achievement Unlocked: Slash Emperor!]

[Note: Due to the special nature of the S-Rank Trial, each time a new evaluation is achieved, the system will directly distribute the corresponding reward item. This reward is independent of the final trial reward.]

[Do you wish to settle with D-Rank Evaluation?]

[YES/NO]

NO.

Slash Emperor? Might as well call me Steel Earth.

Staring at the achievement—an ancient meme that was already old news even before he had crossed over—Lin Guang grabbed some tissue from the bedside table to wipe his nosebleed, then lay back down on the bed, starting to replay the experience of this trial.

Every time he died and crawled out of this godforsaken S-Rank Trial, aside from the hyper-focused, exceptionally clear near-death experience just before each death…

There was always this very strange feeling.

Qi, Body, Heart, Soul—the four pillars representing strength.

Theoretically speaking, the gap between his two identities was astronomically vast.

You had to understand that the [Qi], representing magic power, and the [Body], representing magic aptitude, were more than ten times weaker than in the trial.

Not to mention the [Soul] aspect; his main body still hadn’t even learned the Magical Girl Transformation.

Logically, this was fucking Little League versus the Major League, bare hands versus weapons, electric current propulsion versus magnetic field rotation, broken robots versus the Watcher (Slay the Spire 1 exclusive), Blue Baby versus D6 Isaac, New Three Kingdoms versus Old Three Kingdoms, Six Eyes Unlimited Void versus Ten Shadows Technique… a gap of that magnitude.

Which one to pick shouldn’t even be a thought; hesitating for even a second would be a disrespect.

But…

It was strange.

Lin Guang lay back down on the bed again, stretched out his hand toward the familiar ceiling, and gently made a fist.

He felt the steady, powerful rhythm of this body’s heartbeat, as well as the familiar flesh, blood, and bones, and the trickle of magic power flowing like a gentle stream.

Maybe it was because of the two A-Rank talents taking effect.

Lin Guang could instinctively feel that, although his main body’s power was far weaker than Mengmengxiang’s form, which had undergone three blessings, there was an inexplicably more reassuring feeling.

It wasn’t because of the magic orb… well, to be honest, the magic orb did play a part, but not the whole reason.

If he had to describe it, it was like comparing the illusory to the real.

The real body was weak, but this power was more tangible, more solid.

And…

less likely to slip through his fingers.

Lin Guang summoned the panel again, his gaze focusing on the new reward that had appeared.

[Item: Mengmengxiang’s Magic Crystal (Medium) (E)]

[A medium-sized crystal formed from condensed magic power. Using it will slightly increase Magic Power Capacity.]

[Within it echoes the melody hummed by a timid girl, and the final resolve that was abruptly cut short in the flames, for the sake of protecting everyone.]

Lin Guang stared at this description for a long time, saying nothing.

After half a minute, he silently thought in his mind.

Claim reward.

The next moment, a somewhat familiar, warm, and radiant crystal appeared in his hand, refracting light like flames.

It was noticeably larger than the two small crystals he had obtained before, and the light within was brighter.

The crystal melted into his hand as usual, accompanied by familiar gratitude and emotions. A power, hotter than before, began to spread, flowing along his arm and permeating his entire body.

Dozens of seconds later.

“Hoo.”

Lin Guang slowly exhaled a breath tinged with heat, his expression already returning to its usual calm.

[Ability: Magic Reserve (E→E+), Magic Aptitude (E-)]

The Comprehensive Rating didn’t change.

But Lin Guang could clearly feel that his body seemed to have reached a certain tipping point. The trickling stream of magic power within him had grown stronger again, bringing a sensation of fullness and heat emanating from every part of his body, as if it could barely contain any more magic power.

Yet he wasn’t surprised. After briefly sensing the situation inside him, he effortlessly brought this power under control.

In an instant, the hot current within him calmed down completely, as if nothing had happened.

Lin Guang stroked his chin and suddenly raised his hand.

A clear, fiery red flame ignited on his slender fingers.

The flame danced and flickered joyfully like a spirit, then, under the control of his will, spread across his entire palm without showing any sign of burning him.

Lin Guang flicked his finger. A thumb-sized, fiery red fireball shot from his fingertip, arced through the air, and landed in a nearby water glass, producing a hissing sound.

Watching the steam rise from the glass from his casually flicked fireball, he couldn’t help but nod. “Not bad.”

From the panel’s perspective, his main body’s Magic Reserve (Qi) was now two minor levels higher than its Magic Aptitude (Body).

For anyone else, this would probably be a dangerously unbalanced state.

Although Lin Guang hadn’t yet encountered any other supernaturals in this world, he could use the Black Cloud Society’s Branch Leader, who had injected himself with a potion, as an analogy.

That guy’s potion, in Lin Guang’s view, was clearly a case of forcibly injecting a magic-power-containing agent into the body before his Magic Aptitude had met the standards.

As a short-term burst method, it might be okay—just a period of weakness afterward, recoverable with some rest—but maintaining that state long-term would likely have unpredictable consequences.

But for Lin Guang…

Your Magic Aptitude is a bit lax, but your talent makes up for it. jpg

Under the manipulation of his two A-Rank talents, this burden was well-controlled within a safe limit.

Magic power too strong? You might accidentally lose control and hurt yourself. Then just don’t be careless from the start, right?

It wasn’t like he hadn’t done this before; at worst, he’d have to think carefully about whether to claim the next Magic Crystal.

Still, for the upcoming evaluation rewards, the system should give him something similar to last time’s Magic Aptitude Crystal, so the problem probably wasn’t that big anyway.

…When the hell would he get a transformation? Would he even be allowed to transform? What would he transform into? This shitty system wouldn’t give a straight answer; it just kept goofing around in the achievement column.

After grumbling a few complaints about this system named the “Strongest Hero System” that didn’t do any hero stuff, Lin Guang suddenly got up from the bed and walked over to his desk to sit down.

He opened his notebook, picked up a pen, but again held it suspended in hesitation.
