Chapter 20 : No! I—
It was a dark night, even the blue moon swallowed by clouds. A girl stepped into a trash-strewn alley.
“...This is the place, right?”
Dressed in comfy sweats, Ga-yeon scanned the building ahead. Five stories, school-sized, half-demolished and left to rot.
Glass crunched under her shoe.
Four kilometers west of school. There was only one abandoned building around here.

She started for the front entrance—then noticed a big padlock.
She could break a window, but making that kind of racket at this hour would draw a crowd.

“Flaming Heart—Set Up.”
After a beat of hesitation, Ga-yeon whispered the spell. She became Unibel and lifted into the air, heading for the roof.
“Welcome.”
“You could at least say hi back.”
Ŵе̃ bn̊оṽ ё l Е́ ň umа̄
The rooftop was smeared with half-erased paint. Ha-ran waited there in her school uniform, just like in the daytime.
“...Hey.”
“Now you look a little better.”
Perched above the door, Ha-ran smiled down. The pose was exactly the same as when she’d first reached a hand out in class, and the memory stabbed at Unibel’s chest.

She’d thought they could be good friends. A famous idol who was kind to everyone—she’d even admired that.
But that kindness had been a mask. The real Ha-ran was a magical girl like her and someone who could kill a good person to keep a secret—an obvious villain. And that villain was here to erase the teacher who had saved Unibel.

“Is killing him really the only option?”
“It is. I tried several times. My memory rework won’t stick.”
“...”
“He’s kind and smart. If I talk to him—”
“Hey. How long are we doing this Q&A?”
Ha-ran dropped lightly to the ground, dust puffing at her heels. Up close, her face was so cold it made Unibel’s legs tense.

“I don’t take orders from a clueless kid. If you want to stop me, prove it. I already told you.”
Mist spread from Ha-ran’s feet.
The scene was familiar. Unibel’s nerves tightened.
“When the border of the world is broken, another world appears.”
Blue washed across the night sky, centering on the building around them. An Otherworld Barrier—hers was red. This one was not.
“If you’re thinking, I don’t want to fight, let’s talk it out—drop it now. Our world isn’t as gentle as you want it to be.”

“...I—”
“I’m going. Crystal Tiara.”

Ha-ran kissed the ring set with a blue gem. Light flooded everything.
Not even a second passed.
When it faded, Ha-ran wasn’t Ha-ran anymore.
“Not to be dramatic, but I’ll reintroduce myself. I’m Rania.”
W̄ ėb n̆ о̌v̈е̃ l̀ Е n̆ ū m̊ а̀
Silvery hair fell to her waist. Her eyes were pale as ice. In a dress of white and ice blue, she looked like a snow sprite out of a storybook.
“...Unibel.”
“Right. Unibel.”
The smile left Rania’s voice. Her eyes went still, quiet as a lake.

“Here’s a tip before we start. Go all-out from the beginning. If you don’t, this ends the moment it starts.”
She leveled her staff.
Е n ûṁӓ .і ď
It wasn’t quite a staff. The tip had been cut to a keen edge that flashed with light—closer to a spear.
...I can do this.
Unibel’s throat went tight.
This was the girl who’d put her on the floor without even transforming. She had no idea how strong Rania was now.
She’d sworn to get stronger. Sworn to never look helpless again.
So she couldn’t back down.

“Good eyes.”
The words barely left Rania’s lips before—
Clang!
Sparks spat. Rania had slipped into Unibel’s right side and thrust; Unibel barely caught it at a brutal angle. Cold bled from the spear where it met her staff.
“!”
Fast.
Е̂nū m а
But not so fast she couldn’t react. In raw speed, the black wolf in the park had felt trickier.
I can do this.

Then Rania’s voice came from behind her.
“Don’t tell me that was your full power.”
When did she—!?
Unibel spun, too late. The spear shaft swept across her stomach. The hit lifted her off her feet.
É n̆ ūm а̌.і̊d
Thud!
She tried to right herself in the air—Rania was already there overhead.
If the last move was a teaser, this was the monster speed for real.
The spear slammed down and pinned Unibel out of the air.

“Ghk—!”
Air blew out of her. Pain rattled her insides and a ragged noise escaped her lips.
Е.ǹ um а́ .іd
“Why the shocked face? This is basics. Basics.”
Rania planted herself near Unibel’s head and aimed her spear again.
“How long are you going to lie there? Is that all your resolve amounts to?”
Taunting, relentless.
Unibel bit down on her lip.
“...Don’t underestimate me.”

She forced herself up. The pain made her stagger, but she caught her balance.
“Good. That’s more like it. Coming.”
Rania’s voice turned pleased—and then she vanished.
Screee!
Unibel raised her staff on reflex, then twisted aside at the sound—wrong, dangerous.
Crack!
W̃ ӗbn о́v̄е̂ l̈ Е̇ n_ŭḿ а̀
The spear missed her by inches and hammered the concrete. The boom and spiderwebbed cracks made her knees twitch.
Stronger than before. If she’d tried to meet that head-on, she would’ve been a batting cage ball.

“Nice instincts.”
Rania reappeared front and center, flashing a fangy grin.
After a few exchanges, Unibel understood.
Rania outclassed her in strength, speed, and experience. She couldn’t win up close.
Ẅе̃ b̀ ñо̂ v̌е̂ ľ Ӗ n um̈ а
Bang!
Unibel launched herself back. She expected Rania to press—Rania instead watched, measuring.
“Flare...!”
She pulled every scrap of mana she had.

If melee was suicide, that left one path: a ranged magic fight.
Rania’s weapon screamed close-combat. Keep it pure magic and Unibel could tip the scales.

“Burst!”
Spheres of red flame roared forward.
With time and fights under her belt, Unibel’s fire hit harder and burned hotter than when she’d first transformed.
“Dodging would be easy, but... let’s do this here. Frost Chain.”
Blue chains of ice unfurled around Rania.
They steamed with cold even from a distance and, at her signal, whipped forward—aimed straight at the Flare Burst.

“...No way.”
Unibel’s jaw dropped.
The flames that felt like they could burn the world... stopped. Bound in chains, they froze in midair.
Not canceled—overpowered. Rania’s mana dwarfed hers.
Kwoom!
The red sphere exploded late, washing heat between them.
Ẇӗ b̄n̄о̇ v е̂ l Еn̆ ũ m̃а̌_
The glare filled Unibel’s vision—and then—
Shhrrrkk.

A sound that crawled down her spine. She looked up. The chains were falling toward her like guillotines.
Grkkk.
She caught them on her staff. Metal-scrape-on-ice screamed as the links bounced away—mostly intact.
Her fire hadn’t even scuffed Rania’s ice.

Despair edged into Unibel’s eyes.
This wasn’t like the Voids with obvious weaknesses.
This was a pure, ugly gap in skill.
“Is that it?”

Rania reeled the dancing chains back and walked in. Unibel glared, but the fire in her eyes wasn’t the same.
“They said you had talent. I’m disappointed. All that talk about protecting him—where’d it go?”
Ẃ еb̄ n о̆v̌ е́l Еn̆ ů m̈а̌
Unibel didn’t answer.
She couldn’t. At some point, she’d dropped to one knee.
“I...”
Get up. Grab the staff. Hit her with everything.
She told herself again and again, but her arms and legs wouldn’t move.
The difference in power had crushed her will.

“Was the guy you call ‘teacher’ like this too? Did he go limp and watch just because he was outmatched?”
Rania’s voice had an edge, like the question soured her mouth.
No. He hadn’t.
In a worse spot than this, facing an enemy that looked impossible, he hadn’t taken a step back. He’d analyzed, probed a weakness, and taken it down clean.
Light came back to Unibel’s eyes.
If he were here, what would he do? He’d find a way to beat Rania. Because he’s stronger than anyone I know.

“No.”
“Huh.”

“My teacher isn’t weak like me.”
She stood.
Strangely, the thing she hadn’t managed with effort came easy the second she thought of him.
Yes, Rania was stronger by a few moves—maybe more.

So what. She’d known that already.
Remembering it wasn’t a reason to despair.
“Now your eyes look right.”
WhooOOO—

Wind howled.
The rooftop railings shook like they’d tear free. Temperature plunged. Frost spread across the bars.

“Zero...”
At Rania’s chant, a blue magic circle bloomed under her feet.
Unfamiliar sigils and lines spun around her.
Unibel’s face tightened. This felt wrong.
“What is that...?”
“A technique you unlock when you gather enough parts as a magical girl. Think of it as a finisher.”

Rania winked from within a blizzard world. The move was cute; the mana pouring off her was anything but.
Wh-what do I do?
A storm of power raged. Unibel thought, clawing for options.
Ordinary flame wouldn’t cut it. The chains had already proven that. And this was several times worse.
Still...!
She wasn’t going to run.
Ěǹ ũṁ ӑ . ĭd.
She’d decided to throw away the weak version of herself.
“Flare!”

Red flame bloomed—familiar, steady.
“...I can do this.”
Rania had shown her.
Magic changes with the user’s resolve.

Shape didn’t matter right now.
She needed fire hot enough to melt that blizzard. Not just big—she’d seen how useless swollen flames were.
...Then compress it?

She’d never tried it. The odds of failure were higher than success.
But she had nothing else.

Is this how he felt?
A gamble with the odds stacked against you. The stakes: your life.
And he’d pulled it off without flinching.
So she could too.
Light flared around Unibel, savage and bright.
Not red—blue flame, entirely different from before.

Smaller, but its presence was overwhelming.
The ice-locked rooftop ran like water—
—and burst into white steam that raced for the sky.
“Flare—...!”
“W-wait! Hold up! Stop!”
“Huh?”

Unibel’s eyes flew open at Rania’s panicked shout.
Crackle!

The blue fire shivered, unstable. Sparks spat; embers popped up into the dark.
FWOOOM!
A blast swallowed the rooftop.
“I swear I’m not getting paid enough for this!”

That was the last thing Unibel remembered.
