I'm a magical girl in the future

Chapter 8 Complete Registration

"Well, perhaps you still have some concerns."

Noah glanced at the two who seemed hesitant. "Based on my experience, at your current stage, completing the registration and obtaining official status and necessary support would be a more prudent choice."

Ye Han still looked timid. She quietly tugged at Qin Xiaoling's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Zhaoxia... Senior Noah... she said that... should we... should we..."

Ye Han's words were full of uncertainty, but her eyes involuntarily drifted toward Noah, with a hint of dependence and awe.

Qin Xiaoling was indeed somewhat tempted. The reason she and Ye Han hadn't registered their marriage stemmed from some urban legends circulating within the Civil Defense Bureau.

However, for the girl who had just been pulled back from the brink of death, Noah's unfathomable power was undoubtedly her most solid support at this moment.

"If," Qin Xiaoling took a deep breath, "if Senior Noah thinks this is the right choice, then... please take us to register!"

"A wise decision."

Noah smiled and then turned around, her long silver hair drawing an elegant arc in the night breeze.

"Well then, we've caught up."

In an instant, several beams of light of different colors tore through the night sky and sped off like shooting stars in a certain direction of the city.

In a short while, they arrived at the Human Disaster Prevention and Response Bureau branch in Yuehua City.

Even at night, the Civil Defense Bureau was brightly lit. Noah led everyone through the main entrance and headed straight for the reception desk. Behind the desk sat a young woman in uniform, who looked somewhat listless.

"Good evening. A new magical girl is registering. Please prepare the necessary procedures." Noah said as she approached the front desk.

"Huh?"

The receptionist was visibly stunned. Her gaze swept over the girls—their gorgeous and unique battle attire certainly made them look like magical girls.

However, it is extremely rare for so many magical girls to register at once.

It's important to understand that magical girls are extremely rare, and even if only one new girl registers, it becomes a significant event that the department takes seriously.

She even began to suspect that these girls might be members of some anime club, dressed in cosplay costumes, who had come here late at night specifically to amuse her.

"What's wrong? Doesn't the Civil Defense Bureau always give the warmest welcome to magical girls who voluntarily register?"

Seeing the receptionist's stunned expression, Noah urged, "There are five in total. Can we begin preparations?"

Qin Xiaoling was somewhat confused upon hearing this number. She glanced around at her companions present—

"Me, Yotsuba, Ayanami, Higanbana... if you count them that way, there should only be 4 people... Could it be...?"

Her gaze shifted to Noah. "Senior Noah, are you... is this your first time registering too?"

"Ah, about me..."

Noah seemed somewhat nonchalant. "Because of some... well, rather special reasons, I've been unregistered before. So, this is a good opportunity to register together with you all."

The receptionist finally recovered from her initial shock: "Please wait a moment, I'll go and notify the relevant person in charge immediately!"

She uttered a single sentence, then hastily rose as if fleeing, and strode towards the backstage area. The sound of her high heels clicking on the floor was exceptionally clear in the silent hall.

A short while later, a middle-aged man in a suit arrived.

"Good evening. Are you the magical girls who have come here to register?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Yes." Noah nodded.

"It's not convenient to talk here, please follow me." The middle-aged man said succinctly, then turned and led them to a small conference room inside.

In the center of the conference room was an oval conference table, with a few chairs casually placed around it.

"Please make yourselves at home," the middle-aged man said. He only sat down after the girls had all taken their seats.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am the deputy director of the Yuehua City branch of the Human Disaster Prevention and Response Bureau. I will be in charge of your registration."

Normally, the registration of magical girls is handled personally by the Director, to show the importance placed on these valuable combatants. However, it's already past 8 PM, and the Director has already gone off duty. Faced with this mass registration event, the Deputy Director on night shift has to handle it.

"Next, I will briefly explain some precautions and rules for everyone when registering with the Human Disaster Prevention and Response Bureau."

"First, let's talk about contact information. After you've registered your basic information, please scan this QR code—"

The deputy director pointed to an exquisite cardboard sign on the table.

"—Download and install our Civil Defense Bureau's official application. You can receive official notifications from the Civil Defense Bureau through this application. We will also use this application to contact you if needed."

"Of course, you can also contact other registered magical girls in this app, and even create group chat channels."

"If you want to stay in touch with unregistered magical girls, or if there are other situations where you need to hide your contact information, this app can also generate virtual numbers for you to use. As for other functions, you can explore them on your own in the future."

"Next is the announcement of missions. The mission of magical girls is to protect human society from the invasion of disaster beasts. If a disaster beast incident occurs, we will release the exact coordinates of the disaster beast to everyone through the official application as soon as possible, and the basic information will also be noted. Please be sure to go and deal with it as quickly as possible."

"Normally, missions are not assigned to specific individuals, but there are exceptions. Of course, to ensure everyone's safety to the greatest extent possible, the command center will allocate missions reasonably based on the strength of the psychic signals from the monsters, ensuring that no one is assigned to high-risk targets that are too far beyond their capabilities."

"The rewards for completing the task are also detailed in the application, so please remember to check it out."

"As for other details and regulations, you can find them in the application, so I won't go into them here."

After hearing the deputy director's serious and formal introduction, which sounded just like a user manual, Lingbo silently marveled at how many functions the Civil Air Defense Bureau's application had.

"Finally, there is the formal registration process."

The deputy director took out a handheld device that resembled some kind of medical instrument from his briefcase; one end of it was a smooth metal probe.

"Before entering your basic information such as your code names, I need to conduct a simple assessment of your ability levels. During the test, please channel your magic into this metal sensor."

As he spoke, he gestured for the nearest shore to be the first to conduct the test.

The other side stretched out a finger and pressed it on the metal probe, then slowly injected magic power.

"Ability stage... Hmm, the initial awakening 'Budding Sprout' level." The deputy director glanced at the reading displayed on the instrument screen.

Next up is Lingbo—"Also at the 'First Bud' level."

Then came Yotsuba and Asaka. Their test results were unsurprisingly low; they were both at the "First Bud" level, just barely crossing the awakening threshold. This is the initial state of the vast majority of newly minted magical girls.

Finally, it was Noah's turn.

She casually pressed her fingertip against the metal probe. The next second, the reading on the instrument made the deputy director's eyes widen—

"The 'Eternal Shao' level? ...It's actually...the 'Eternal Shao' level?! You...you also need to...register?"

"Hmm? Is there a problem?"

Noah tilted her head slightly. "However, I've run into a little trouble right now. If the Civil Defense Bureau can help me solve this problem, I'd be happy to complete the registration process."

The deputy director almost instinctively straightened his back: "Please...please speak! Whatever your request, as long as it's within the Civil Defense Bureau's capabilities, we will do our utmost to resolve it for you!"

For any branch office to have a "Eternal Radiance" level magical girl willing to register is a tremendous honor.

That's wonderful.

Noah's smile grew even brighter as she stated her request—

"My requirements are actually very simple: please give me the latest iPhone, with top-of-the-line memory and storage. Then, a SIM card, and the phone plan... should be at least a three-year prepaid plan, unlimited data, and preferably VIP memberships to a few major video streaming sites..."

Lingbo stood to the side, wearing a speechless expression, as if to say, "I don't know this person."

Don't tell me you registered here just to get a free phone.

Will my future self be that worthless?
