As the Villain, I Have a Persuasion System Chapter 53 : Big Sister Hyacinth

Hibiscus leaped across rooftops and walls, weaving between the city's buildings. Even the short stretch from the hotel to the seaside district bore traces of artillery fire—where was there anything resembling a normal city? This was clearly the center of a battlefield.

Disaster Beasts' ultra-long-range projectiles occasionally streaked across the sky, smashing down single-story buildings. In an instant, gas leaks would trigger explosions—such cases were everywhere.

"Whooooo——"

Suddenly, an ethereal sound ca from the sea surface, echoing repeatedly through ancient tis. The white whale's cry ca from deep valleys, knocking at the door of calamity.

A 6-ter-high tsunami roared upward, washing over the shoreline defensive fortifications once.

The military was overwheld, finding it increasingly difficult to hold on, retreating again and again. The losses they faced weren't just from direct combat—for ordinary people, the high-concentration magic power environnt would knock them unconscious in monts. Fighting with flesh and blood bodies by forcibly taking dications had reached its limit. Especially after the Boss Disaster Beast issued a new round of oppressive aura, many people fainted on the spot and lost their combat capability. Naturally, warships and cannons operated by humans beca nothing but scrap tal.

From Hibiscus's perspective, the surging magic power aura rose straight to the clouds, shrouding the sea area. The center point should be where the Abyssal White Whale was located—a domain invisible to ordinary people, brewing murderous intent.

She faintly sensed that the other party was searching and perceiving powerful Origin.

A hundred people couldn't match up to one person with abundant Origin. Out of hunting instinct, they would naturally use every ans at their disposal. The fact that it restrained itself from pouncing imdiately reflected that the Boss Disaster Beast's intelligence was not low—truly troubleso indeed.

Strange, she had the feeling that the Disaster Beasts seed to be looking for more than just herself. Could there be other people with powerful Origin?

Unfortunately, Hibiscus's perception wasn't as good as theirs right now, so she couldn't judge. But as the distance shortened, she soon detected a weak magic power reaction from a nearby school.

Boom!

Before she could identify it carefully, she saw the teaching building take a direct hit from a falling stone and imdiately collapse. Rubble and debris slid down like an avalanche, mixed with flas and the teeth-grinding sound of twisted steel. It was probably on the verge of destruction. Even so, not many people ran out—most were probably unconscious or even dead. It was probably too late.

"Teacher, please wake up."

"Look, there's a big mass of black air in the sky!"

"I want my mommy——"

The corridor was filled with surviving girls who had co out of various classrooms and remained conscious. They cried incessantly without any order.

"Are you all just standing there waiting to die? Get moving! Since we're fine, let's quickly evacuate this dangerous building and don't linger." Among them, a girl with a beauty mark on her face sternly overpowered everyone's sobbing. She waved her hand, "I'm Minase Kaori, class president of Class A. You're all under my command now. Everyone take the widest and most solid staircase on the north side to leave, and gather at the playground."

The little girls were already young, and being in crisis and intimidated like this, they imdiately suppressed their sadness. The group quickly followed Kaori's pace to evacuate to open ground.

However, the Disaster Beast bombardnt never stopped. Halfway through, another giant stone ca flying.

"Watch out!"

Although Kaori warned them in ti and no one was directly injured, the main body of the staircase was destroyed and broken. So children only managed to grab onto the edge, with a 3-story drop below them—enough to be fatal—and they didn't have enough strength as their small bodies were about to slip into the abyss.

Misfortunes never co alone. At this very mont, another giant stone ca from above, its shadow casting despair on every girl's pretty face.

Suddenly, a beam of light pushed the killer away.

At the sa ti, the frightened child let go and fell, but the next mont a slender hand firmly caught her—this was the first one. Then the second, the third... In what seed like an instant, the children in midair safely reached the playground.

Their gazes all converged on the girl in military-style black dress flying in the air. Her outfit was gorgeous, not seeming of this world, and her silver hair and red eyes added a sense of otherworldly dominance.

Hibiscus couldn't keep up with the rescue using just her legs, so she had to transform fully and fly over to save people. Although it consud magic power, it was worth it. A considerable portion of these students would grow up to beco future Magical Girls. What was a little magic power? She was betting it on the new era.

Crack!

Seeing the teaching building still collapsing rapidly, she shouted, "Jump down, I'll catch all of you."

The leading girl with the beauty mark didn't hesitate to leap up and was lifted to the ground by a gentle breeze. She felt both delighted and disappointed—she thought she was going to be held.

Hibiscus used Levitation Technique to rescue a total of 36 survivors to the playground.

The Disaster Beast offensive temporarily slowed. From the life force perception, the school still had many active auras, just knocked unconscious. With good luck, they should be able to survive. Loud noises ca frequently from the coastline direction—humans were doing their utmost to prevent them from landing. That Miss Pasha always kept her word, so the decisive battle location would definitely be chosen at sea.

"The first girl who jumped, you're very brave. What's your na?"

"Minase Kaori."

"Don't publicize my existence. Just pretend this never happened. Everyone stay in open areas and wait for rescue—it'll be over soon. Understand?"

"Understood." The girls answered in unison, then Minase Kaori made a heart gesture with her hands, and her classmates followed suit, saying: "Magical Girls must hide their identities so bad people won't target them."

Hibiscus laughed heartily and nodded. She hadn't expected to connect with the children like this.

From the magic power perspective, she could see many girls had good aptitude. Given ti, there would surely be many talents.

Seeing several students had minor injuries, she simply took out a Blood Tree branch. Magic power flowed through it, transforming it into a staff. Having stored enough healing power normally, it could now scatter red raindrops without spending a single point of magic power. After bathing in it, the children's wounds healed and returned to their original state. The effect was good—fortunately they still counted as ordinary people, otherwise the stronger one's magic power, the weaker the healing effect.

There was another wonderful use—casting magic with it seed to slightly amplify by 10%. It was truly an excellent staff, and most importantly, it was straight enough to resemble a short sword.

After Hibiscus put away the relic and turned to prepare to leave, this action caused many children to lose their pillar of support and cry again.

How troubleso.

She really wanted to complain, but thinking that everyone used to be a troubleso kid, she could only tolerantly console them that she would sort things out soon.

"Big Sister Magical Girl, even if you can't reveal your na, you have a codena, right?"

"I'm called Hyacinth. After we part today, you'll still see news about . Perhaps so of you will stand together with soday in the future. Life is unpredictable—all of this is possible. For that day to co, you must protect yourselves, while I go create an environnt where children can be safe."

"We'll rember."

"Good, then say your farewells loudly."

"Goodbye, Big Sister Hyacinth."

Hibiscus imitated Minase Kaori by making a heart with both hands, tilted her head with a grinning smile, and the next mont the silver-haired figure disappeared from the spot, just as traceless as when she arrived.

After she left, the playground beca sowhat quieter. Although artillery fire still filled the sky, the children's hearts gained a bit of confidence—sohow they weren't afraid anymore. They only hoped everything would end quickly, and that they could see Big Sister Magical Girl Hyacinth again soon.
