It was a weekend afternoon when people were taking a break in their own ways.
In the middle of the downtown area of S City, someone was disturbing that rest.
"Kyaaaaaaaak!!!"
"It's a villain!! Where are the heroes!!"
Amidst the citizens running away in utter disarray,
a large man with a clean-shaven head was shouting vigorously.
"Euhahahahahaha! Scream more! Wail more!"
An extraordinarily tall height of at least 3m and a heavy, massive build.
- Whooong—whoooong— Kwang!!!
As he wielded a giant hammer as big as himself with ease,
the impact was so great that the roadside trees and traffic lights, as well as the roads and the exterior walls of buildings, were cracked.
"When are the heroes coming!! Come quickly and satisfy me!!"
He was a villain who didn't even have a common villain name,
but compared to the commonly appearing petty villains, he was definitely a very threatening villain.
"We are hero magical girls!"
Two refreshing-looking girls stood in the way of that terrifying man.
"Magical Aquamarine!"
"Magical Seraphina!"
"In the name of heroes and magical girls, two names of justice… we shall punish you!"
Magical Aquamarine with a bright blue sky color.
Magical Seraphina with natural freshness.
The two magical girl heroes appeared in front of the man.
"What… what did you say? Hero magical girls? Keuhahahahahahaha!!!"
Whether it was just funny that girls with much smaller builds than himself appeared as heroes,
he burst into laughter so heartily that the street echoed.
"Ahahahaha! Hahaha… sorry. This is too funny.
These tiny ladies have come to defeat me as heroes?"
Then, he bent down deeply to look at the two girls,
and tapped their staffs with his thick fingers, showing a dismissive attitude.
"Is some magic going to come out of these toy staffs? Huh?"
"Take this! Seraphina Expert Vine!"
- Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr— Chwaaaaaaaak!!!
"Wh-what!! These thorny vines?! Uwaaaaaaaak!"
Tendrils of thorny vines stretched out towards the man trying to snatch Aquamarine's staff.
Dozens of thorny vines tightly constricted his body.
"Those thorny vines contain a sleeping poison that will calm your body.
You better just fall asleep quietly there."
Magical Seraphina pointed her staff at the man, who was bound in thorny vines all over his body.
"Kuhhhh… If I was going to lose to mere plants like this, I wouldn't have even come out…!!!!"
- Kwadedeudeudeudeuk—!!!
The blood vessels bulging on his brawny muscles swelled as if they would burst at any moment,
and the man tore apart the thorny vines constricting his body with a thunderous roar.
"Hoo…. What use is it since it's so tough? Can't even eat it."
Because the sleeping poison of the thorny vines had not yet penetrated his body,
the man nonchalantly tilted his shoulders and neck.
"You little brats dare to launch a surprise attack so impudently. Aaaaaaang?!!!!"
"Kkeueueueue…?!"
The power and spirit to create wind pressure with just a thunderous shout.
The two girls were momentarily intimidated by the spirit.
"Then shall I move excitedly too?
I have to play with our lively hero… whatchamacallit girls?"
He swung a giant metal hammer, which must have weighed hundreds of kilograms, around like a toy hammer,
then swung it down hard at the girls.
"Euratcha!!!!!"
- Kugwagwagwagwagwang—!!!!!
""Kyaaaaaat?!""
Then, a tremendous roar that would burst eardrums filled the street,
creating a giant crack in the middle of the black road.
"Euhahahahaha!!! Feels good?! Hahahahahaha!!!!"
Seraphina and Aquamarine, who had hurriedly leaned back to avoid the fierce and quick attack, fell over.
The man sneered at the two girls' flustered appearance.
'He definitely said… we've gotten stronger. Then I can go all out…!'
Spitting out blood from their bodies or suddenly collapsing was commonplace.
Now, they couldn't even maintain their bodies unless they took their medicine without fail.
What they gained in return was the immense 'output' and formidable 'destructive power' of their abilities.
"Aquamarine… Hyper Bubble Blast!!!!!"
- Chwaaaaaaaaaak—!!
Aquamarine bit her lip and unleashed an incredible technique that would have been impossible before.
Dozens of streams of water, so fast that they seemed like beams of light, engulfed the man.
- Pshushushushushushuk—
"Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!!"
Then, the high-pressure streams of water pierced through the man's muscles and flesh, which had seemed so solid,
and a considerable amount of blood gushed out from his body.
"What is this attack…!!!! Where did this water cannon suddenly come from…?!!!!!"
"How is it? How's the taste of my new technique, 'Aquamarine Hyper Bubble Blast'?"
The man was shocked not only in his body, which had been directly hit, but also mentally, by the fact that destructive power beyond what he had imagined was being emitted from that frail girl, and he collapsed.
"I'm… I'm collapsing from the attacks of those frail girls…?
I, who have experienced all sorts of harsh conditions and fought against wild beasts…?"
Of course, he had also endured all sorts of difficulties and harshness and trained himself, as he said,
but there was an error in saying that they were 'frail girls.'
That's because they were the ones who had endured the terrible experiments that even strong people like the man could not withstand,
more than ten times at that.
"Seraphina… are you hurt anywhere…?"
While the man was gathering himself, Aquamarine approached Seraphina, who had fallen over greatly.
"Eueueueue… Kkeueueueue…!!"
However, Seraphina seemed to be possessed by some intense anger,
glaring at the man with a very angry expression and voice.
"Why… what's wrong? Seraphina! Can you hear me? Kyaaaat?!"
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!"
Aquamarine desperately grabbed Seraphina, who seemed to be losing control and being consumed by emotion,
but Seraphina pushed Aquamarine away and ran towards the man.
"Die… die… dieeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!"
- Whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr—!!!!
- Pshushushushushushuk—!!!!?!!!
"Keuhaaaaaaaaaaak…!!!"
As Seraphina, consumed by madness and anger, twisted and moved her body,
thorny vines, much more hideous and sharp than before, pierced through the man's body.
"Sera… phina…?!"
The rough and cruel form of the thorny vines seemed to embody Seraphina's anger.
The man, already pierced all over his body, spat out a large amount of blood,
and coughed up blood as if even breathing was difficult.
"Keueueue… Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"
Even so, Seraphina, in a state of berserk, did not seem to be relieved of her anger,
and controlled the thorny vines to tear and twist the body of the man, who was already dying.
"Kkeuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak!!!!! Save me!!!!!!"
- Kkeugigigigigigik… Gigigigigigigik…!!!!
The man's desperate cries to be saved were not heard by Seraphina, who had gone berserk.
Rather, the thorny vines only became more and more red as they were stained with the man's blood.
And his pathetic screams soon subsided.
"This is… this isn't right….
Our purpose is to protect citizens from villains… but this is…."
It was true that the man had threatened the citizens using his brawny body and giant hammer.
It was also true that he had destroyed some of the city's roadside trees and walls.
However, was this man, who had never even been designated as a major object of observation by the Hero Alliance,
and who had not even injured the citizens yet… such a heinous criminal that he deserved to face such a horrific death?
"Kyahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!"
"Stop it! That's enough already!"
Seraphina, twisting her body and laughing madly in front of the blood-soaked thorny vines.
Aquamarine ran out to stop her.
"Stop it… stop it!!! Seraphina!!!!!!!!"
However, before Aquamarine's shout and her body could reach Seraphina,
Seraphina suddenly collapsed weakly on the spot.
"Seraphina?!"
Aquamarine hurriedly ran over and barely managed to catch Seraphina before her head hit the ground,
but her face and body were already in an indescribable state.
'What on earth… what on earth did the director do to us…?'
The director had clearly only said that severe side effects would occur if they didn't take the medicine within 24 hours.
He had never said that their emotions or abilities could go berserk.
However, Seraphina, who had suddenly gone berserk and collapsed, was bleeding profusely from her nose and mouth,
and her face and lips were as pale as a corpse.
"A… qua…?"
"Seraphina?! Are you okay?!"
A moment later, Seraphina, who was held in Aquamarine's arms, gently opened her eyes,
and Aquamarine breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing her face, where the berserk state had stopped.
"Aquamarine… you… blood…."
"Blood? Is it because I'm bleeding too much?"
When Seraphina mentioned blood, Aquamarine thought she was talking about the blood she had shed,
and wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth with the hem of her skirt.
However, no matter how much she wiped the blood from the corners of her mouth, the blood still remained on Seraphina's face.
"I'm not talking about me… I'm talking about… Aquamarine…."
What Seraphina pointed to was not herself, but Aquamarine.
"Th-this…!"
Like Seraphina, blood was dripping from Aquamarine's nose and mouth.
