Run! Xin-chan!

As if answering her unspoken question, the figure looked down at her and uttered those two words.

This wasn’t some unknown power.

It was an ability granted when a belt was upgraded to the military-grade Level 5, allowing the user to move so fast that the world around them seemed to stand still.

It was a power Ah Xin, in his dream of becoming a transformed knight, had always coveted.

But now, it filled him with a terrifying sense of dread.

“What’s happening?!”

“Damn it!”

The veteran officer, sensing something was wrong, immediately turned back.

The doctor was grabbed by the head and thrown aside.

It wasn’t a powerful throw; it was almost merciful, aimed toward the officer, who managed to catch him after stumbling back a few steps.

In that same instant, Gast lunged at Magical Girl Xiaoxin, his fist radiating dark energy.

There was no room to retreat, so there was no need to.

As if in response, Magical Girl Xiaoxin threw a punch of her own.

At that very moment, another massive figure appeared behind her, its huge fist slamming directly into Gast’s body.

*CRUNCH!*

A direct hit!

It was Overclock Acceleration.

Using the ability granted by the Level 5 belt, the officer had landed a surprise blow on Gast, sending him crashing into the ambulance with enough force to flip the entire vehicle over.

It was the veteran officer.

In the split second before their fists collided, he had intervened.

His Level 5 belt granted him power several times greater than a Level 4 transformed knight, and a special plugin on it caught Magical Girl Xiaoxin by surprise.

[SR-class Plugin—Great Ape Gauntlets!]

It was said that these plugins were modeled after legendary weapons, with prices so outrageous that a single one could cost tens of millions.

‘So cool…’

“Get back! He’s not down yet!”

A surge of black lightning erupted from the overturned vehicle.

The figure leaped out, performed a double jump in mid-air, and launched a flying kick, using the non-existent air as a springboard.

*CLANG!*

The officer blocked it, taking a single step back.

He hadn’t been instantly defeated like the others, but Gast showed no sign of letting up.

Before the officer could counter, Gast unleashed a relentless barrage of kicks, like a machine gun.

His feet moved in a blur, dozens of overlapping strikes hammering against his opponent.

Though the officer blocked with his massive gauntlets, he was forced back step by step.

He was being pushed back, but the veteran officer showed no signs of panic, constantly observing his opponent’s footwork, searching for an opening.

Soon, he felt a slight weakening in the force of the blows.

He sensed his chance.

With a sudden burst of strength, he pushed his opponent back.

As Gast flipped in mid-air to stabilize himself, the officer threw a massive iron fist straight at him.

He dodged it!

With an incredibly graceful mid-air spin, a maneuver completely unbefitting the old warrior’s frame, he evaded the punch in less than half a second.

While dodging, he caught the fist with his arm and delivered a soccer kick straight to the officer’s head!

There was no time to defend.

While his equipment granted him formidable defense and power, it also hindered his speed.

The kick landed squarely on his jaw, sending his head snapping back as fragments of his helmet flew off.

It was a perfect counterattack, but Gast now sensed something was wrong.

In a battle between transformed warriors, one must always pay attention to the opponent’s belt.

In his eagerness to land that counter, he had missed the perfect opportunity—the chance to avoid an ultimate attack!

The officer had activated his ultimate move the moment he threw that punch.

Although Gast had let go, he still needed time and distance to land.

But the ultimate mode on the officer’s belt was already active.

The kick clearly wasn’t enough to take him down, and now, the energy was fully charged in both of his fists.

“Overclock Acceleration!”

Gast tried to use his own acceleration to evade the attack while simultaneously activating his own ultimate move.

But even as the world around him slowed to a crawl, the officer’s movements didn’t seem to slow or stop at all!

He had activated Overclock Acceleration at the exact same moment as Gast!

A perfect prediction of his opponent’s move.

As expected of a super-elite with a Level 5 belt.

Magical Girl Xiaoxin watched in awe, completely oblivious to the fact that she could now perfectly track their movements in Overclock Acceleration.

Perhaps… she really was an idiot.

Faced with the incoming ultimate attack, Gast had no choice but to retaliate with everything he had!

Though his ultimate was activated later, it charged with incredible speed and was now ready to be unleashed.

A spinning kick versus a heavy punch!

The two forces collided, creating a massive energy surge.

Neither gained an advantage in the initial clash.

But in this accelerated world, before the energy could even disperse, Gast used the force of the impact to Shunpo behind the officer and launch a second spinning kick.

Another clash, another stalemate.

But with both his punches proving ineffective, the officer was forced to face the final blow.

A final, descending spinning kick!

*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!*

The moment time returned to normal, three massive explosions erupted simultaneously, the powerful shockwaves causing the very ground to tremble!

As the smoke cleared, the veteran officer was left smashed into the pavement.

Unlike Magical Girl Xiaoxin, who had fallen from hundreds of meters and taken a full-force attack without a scratch, the officer was in bad shape.

He staggered to his feet, assuming a fighting stance.

His mask was shattered, blood dripped from his nose, and his eyes were losing focus, but a smile played on his lips.

“With that… your three accelerations are…”

*Crackle—Snap.*

It shattered.

The belt finally gave way under the strain of the damage, and he collapsed heavily to the ground.

“Gotcha.”

Magical Girl Xiaoxin caught the officer, unwilling to see the man who fought for her fall face-first onto the pavement.

“You really don’t understand, do you, Magical Girl Xiaoxin? Why won’t you just run?”

“Because…”

“Because there’s absolutely no need to.”

‘Ah, crap! This was supposed to be my chance to shine this episode!’

Ah Xin couldn’t help but complain internally as a female voice from behind cut Magical Girl Xiaoxin off before she could finish.

It was Magical Girl Huoli.

With hair as red as fire and vibrant clothes, the girl wielded a tachi with a flame-patterned blade as her wand.

Behind her stood a whole entourage of magical girls and police deployments, all here as reinforcements.

She was a head taller than Magical Girl Xiaoxin.

Compared to Xiaoxin’s youthful, middle-school appearance, Huoli looked more like a mature high school student, with a delicate and lovely face.

Though she wasn’t as buxom as Xiaoxin, she didn’t seem to need such an encumbrance.

After all, she possessed something Xiaoxin desired far more than a large chest.

And this Miss Huoli was no ordinary hero.

The equipment on her waist was unmistakably a Level 5 belt!

She had once ranked tenth on the magical girl popularity charts.

As an outstanding and talented powerhouse, she was not just a magical girl with exceptional skills, but also an idol, a wealthy heiress, and a top-tier professional hero!

The powerful combat abilities granted by her Level 5 belt, combined with her magical girl powers, allowed her to bring overwhelming destruction to any opponent.

Huoli, the Dual-Wielding Berserker; the Peerless Valkyrie of Hellfire; the modern-day, fire-wielding Miyamoto Musashi… the praise and accolades were endless.

Since her debut, she had never known defeat, a fact that had become her source of pride.

“Trouble always comes one after another. But a fire-wielding hero… how nostalgic.”

“Magical Girl and Belt Warrior—Huoli. I look forward to your guidance, Senior? No, I think you should just prepare to lie down quietly,” she said, striking a pose.

Her belt activated, and a tornado of fire enveloped her body, releasing an immense wave of energy, far more powerful than the veteran officer’s.

The intense heat threatened to consume everything around them.

Her transformed armor layered over her dress, adding a sci-fi, hardcore metallic feel to her magical aesthetic.

“That’s Miss Huoli! The ace of magical girls, the undefeated legend who has mastered both the powers of a magical girl and a transformed warrior! Sob! As expected of our senior! I can’t help but tremble every time I see her transform!” a magical girl who looked like a sidekick gushed from behind.

‘I feel like you’re jinxing her, but I have no proof.’

But there was no doubt that, compared to the tension and unease the defeated officer had shown against Gast, the expression on Miss Huoli’s face was one of complete calm, confidence, and an indescribable sense of disdain.

“You’ve used up your maximum of three Overclock Accelerations and have already unleashed two ultimate moves. You know better than anyone how much power you have left… From here on, it’s my turn to crush you. Get ready, old-timer!”

With such a menacing entrance, what could Magical Girl Xiaoxin, the protagonist of the novel who had been relegated to a side character by the fourth chapter, possibly do?

Next episode preview! So strong! So awesome! So invincible! With both systems active and equipped with the best possible configuration of two SR plugins, Miss Huoli is unstoppable!
