“Kiana, at least take these potions with you. You might not need them but someone else might.”
Anya has a good point and without saying anything at all, Kiana takes those potions with her, storing them in her Pocket Dimension skill. There were three healing potions, another three magic recovery potions and one fatigue recovery potion and if they were made by her, while their smell and taste might be more than questionable, they are quite efficient. If Kiana does need to put them to use, they will be live saver to said person.
Kiana- Thank you Anya, I will be going then.
“Good luck. And… Be careful.”
With both of her hands close to her chest, while they embrace each other and while leaning just a little bit forward, she wishes Kiana good luck on her adventure, one that, she wishes and hopes it will go well however, she cannot remove or hide the worry on her green eyes, let alone from her face. But even with all of this worry, even with her heart shouting at her to either stop Kiana from going or to go with her on said adventure, her mind knows that there's nothing that she can do unless trust Kiana.
As quickly as she can and without drawing too much attention to her, Kiana starts to run towards the bridge, leaving Anya by herself. Even though she’s running, it will still take a few good minutes to get there as it’s close to 7 kilometres of distance from the Academy to the bridge. Since she does not want to draw too much attention to her, she’s not exactly running but jogging, actually, it’s that weird middle term between running and jogging, while it will make the trip faster than walking, it will also be just a little bit slower than running.
A minute has gone by, then five followed by ten and she's nowhere near the bridge but, halfway through there. However, while she was “jogging” a thought crossed her mind, one that told her to go to the guild first rather than going straight to the bridge itself. It’s not a bad idea as the guild will definitely have some type of information about the current situation, maybe things have changed and, there is no longer danger or, things got much worse and so on. With this plan in mind, she slightly changes the course of her route but, as quickly as that thought appeared, the next very moment she finally sensed something more concrete and rather interesting at the same time.
“A large pool of magic in one place... well, it’s not that big but, it seems to really be on the bridge. It seems these students were right, however, what’s happening there?”
While her Magic Sense skill seems to have a limit of 5 kilometres, from where she currently is, 3.5 kilometres from the bridge, she’s only now able to sense what might be in there and the reason for this is quite simple, the magic pool she referred really is that small for her skill to not being able to pick up from the very limit. Well, that’s rather interesting after all, either her skill is not that accurate or, the “threat” really isn’t a threat to her at all. Anyway, with a somewhat vague idea of what might be happening, she corrects her route and keeps on going towards the bridge.
“Hmm, I see, it’s a group of monsters that seem to want to enter the city. However, it seems a group of adventurers are taking care of them or at least trying as they are outnumbered 3 to 1. I need to hurry.”
Well, to give you a better idea of the time frame, this is the time where those three adventures are the last ones standing up and where 9 monsters are also still alive and while we know what will happen, to someone like Kiana that has no clue about it, their odds don’t seem to be that good at all. However, she was only able to fully understand the situation once she got close enough, once she’s no further than 1.5 kilometres from them to be precise. Seriously though, her skill really is well refined as she can with some decent accuracy tell what is happening, how many people are there, how many of them are monsters, who is foe, who is ally and I wouldn’t even doubt if she could rank their strength. Amazing, don’t you think? Anyway, another four minutes have gone by and she has covered 1 kilometre in that time spam however, the situation at the bridge has settled down or at least that is what it seemed to her as she cannot sense any more monsters.
That is, until they appeared.
“Eh? Where did they come from? Oh no! These ones are far stronger than the other ones! I have to speed up, they are in danger!”
While her tone of voice is one equal to one of panic, for some odd reason, she stops abruptly and right in the middle of a street walkway as she lets out her worries to the world. While the street is not busy at all in fact, it’s for the empty side as news of what’s happening in the bridge has reached the civilians near it. However, she has a troubled look on her face while she does this, but why though? Are the monsters there really that strong, did I misjudge them somehow? Impossible, while one of them seems to be at least A- rank, there rest of them are well below A- rank, they are nothing that our Kiana cannot deal with it. And yet, something is troubling here...
But what?
“What should I do? If I go out dressed like this, my identity will be discovered rather quickly. I don’t want to draw attention to myself, to Kiana... I don’t want them to know who I am, at least for now. I-I have to change forms and I have to be quick about it.”
There is a genuine troubled look on her golden eyes and a worried look on the rest of her petite face. However, who does she mean by them? Is she talking about her friends? Or is it the students in the Academy? Does she actually worry about what other people think about her? Uhm, that does not seem right and yet, here she is frantically looking around for a place where she can do this “transformation” without being seen. Though, fortunately for the adventures over at the bridge, she’s able to find an alley further down the road. From jogging she’s now running, she quickly runs up to said alley, disappearing into the shadows as not only she enters the alley but the sun is conveniently in a position where said alley is completely covered by the shadows created by the buildings around it. With her curvy back to the wall, with both of her tender hands touching said wall, one that is cold and rough, she looks down towards her boots and closes her golden eyes at the same time.
“Huff... Huff...”
Two deep breaths quickly follow her closing her eyes, ones that are long and heavy but ones that easily tell me that she's preparing everything as she gathers her magic energy all around her body, as she prepares to transform into a true Magical Girl. Her whole body is covered by a bright white light, one that only lasts for a fraction of a second but one that illuminates the entire alley and its darkness, disappearing after said fraction of a second and revealing her new form. To be honest, I don’t know what I was expecting from her new form but it does an excellent job covering her identity. However, for someone that is used to seeing her, you can easily figure out who she is. Don’t get me wrong though, not only does she look astonishing she also looks extremely beautiful and strong but... I don’t know if I could call her a Magical Girl. Let me give out an idea to the world of what I’m talking about.
This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.
Her look changed completely; outfit included of course. She still has her mesmerizing golden colour on her eyes and most of her facial features are still the same, she still looks petite, soft, pale, or in other words, she still gives the word pretty its meaning. Her hair however, had a massive change to it, from her well done and cute custom hairstyle, to a simple but extremely elegant but unusual ponytail hairstyle and from the soft platinum-pink colour to a platinum-silver colour instead. There is something about her hair that seems to give out a magical feeling, something that is small but you can just about spot it as it shines from time to time or is it thanks to the perspective?
Her bangs are still stylized in the same Hime style, at the front not much can be said about it with the exception of a small hair clip at the front that disturbs the Hime cut by just a bit. I have no clue why it’s there but it’s a small star, one shaped with only four sides and painted in a golden like colour. The ponytail is tied by a rather unusual ornament, a weirdly shaped object with three pointing triangles that have different sizes being that the middle one is longer than the other two, almost as if she has the front part of a crown for example. Coloured in a dark shade of black but just shy before the tips, there is a small star on them, one that is coloured in a purple like colour, different from the star on the hair clip but you will soon see that, the hair clip is the one that is unusual. Her hair descends down the rest of her head in an elegant manner, going down her curvy back and ending just shy of her extremely well-defined rear end. Yep, I’m looking at it and yes, I’m appreciating it. Got a problem? I’m a man of culture, so it should be expected! Ahem! The reason for why her ponytail is unusual is because part of her hair creates something similar to a ribbon, half of it in this case. It goes down for a few centimetres (close to 20 centimetres or so) to then go up the same length, causing a rather noticeable curve to be formed and of course because of it ending up resembling the half of a ribbon. From the weird ornament two pieces of fabric descend down the sides of her small head, ending once it reaches around the halfway point of her neck. Made of lace and coloured in a soft shade of grey but thanks to the material on which it is made of, it’s for the semi-transparent side and with a closer look, you will notice a pattern on it, one where small stars are present throughout the entire fabric. She has a beautiful earring on her left ear, one that is a simple small metal cord with a small star at the end of it, coloured in purple. Going further down her body we see her one piece, I think? I’m really not sure if it’s a simple bodysuit like Alice uses or, if it’s several “parts” that fit together and give out said impression but, she’s a little more exposed than before, nothing too drastic but, it’s quite noticeable from her normal outfit.
Her bust is much more notic-Why did I start from there?
Her shoulders, yeah, those, they are exposed. On this outfit, she’s actually using armour throughout it and right on the sides of her shoulders and somewhat below it, she has said armour that is embracing her arms but leaving the inwards side left alone, however, said armour has a soft fabric piece on top of it, coloured in a platinum-white colour with a few details in black that descends down her tender and pale arm, ending just a little past the elbow. The armour on her outfit seems to be made of a rather peculiar material, and if I had to guess, it’s a material created by her own original magic but coloured in the same platinum-white colour but thanks to its shine, it ends up resembling the snow getting hit by the sun. The fabric on her outfit follows the same colour however, not only it has a few details and pieces coloured in dark, the inside of the outfit, it’s coloured by a purple colour.
She has gloves on her silklike hands, ones that are quite long, ending only a few centimetres before the elbows and ones that are coloured in black. Her gloves do have armour on them, making them seem like gauntlets. Her neck is only halfway exposed, her “shirt” has a “collar” that goes up to the halfway of her neck, with a frilly curve to it and with a black stripe that goes all around it not only that, right in the middle she has small star with a small ribbon to accompany it. Her chest is exposed, with two laces that descend down from the “collar” on both sides of her neck, ones that seem to be supporting her entire upper part of her one piece. This is the part of her new amazing outfit where someone like myself, someone with a good eye, will immediately see it first. After all, that characteristic curve on her chest is showing off and somehow, it’s making her bust a bit bigger than before. It’s more like, her previous clothes are hiding it a little too well if I say so myself.
Ahem!
Her “skirt” has a V shape to it at the top, both at front and at the back, having a few openings throughout it. In the V area, she also has the same design pattern as on the collar, with a line of frills that goes all around with a black stripe slightly above it but, only at the bottom and at the front and back as the rest of her skirt not only is longer but it also ends in a pointy way, being in the sides are much longer than the rest. There are two pieces of armour on each side of her slender waist, ones that are for the big side and gritty but right at the middle of then there is a small star, a purple star with two small purple laces that seem to be caressing said armour. The sides of her shirt as I said, it ends in a pointy way, something akin to a butterfly wing. Said sides as I said, they are the longest ones, ending once it reaches the top of her knees while the rest of those butterfly wings end once they reach the half of her tights while at the front and back, they are just a shy shorter than that.
Underneath those butterfly wings and “skirt”, she has small pants, ones that are coloured fully in black and that they end just at the halfway of her tights, covering everything that might’ve been exposed by the openings of her “skirt”. Those butterfly wings they are semi-transparent so you can understand why she has those small black pants however, unfortunately for myself, the butterfly thingies are the only parts of her outfit that are semi-transparent and that’s mainly thanks to their fabric that seems to be made of silk, one that comes from a spider and a high end one at that.
The rest of her legs are covered by socks, ones that end just slightly below her pants and that are also a tad bit for the tight side. I think you know what this means, we can somewhat see that characteristic line that these types of socks create thanks to the added pressure and since that part is covered by the butterfly thingy, we can just about notice that detail. A sight for a man of culture like myself. These socks are mainly coloured in white with two star ornaments on each side of the socks, right at the top and in the middle. These stars of course, are coloured in a purple colour and with a line that goes all the way down, also coloured in the same way. This line is roughly 3 centimetres wide in case anyone wants to know.
She’s using boots, ones that follow the same colour pattern as her outfit. A few details here and there are coloured in black while the rest of it has that platinum-white colour to it. At the top, there is fabric that goes out of the boot for a few centimetres and then goes back towards the inside, having a V shape at the front. On said V shape there is a small star, one that is coloured in purple and with a small ribbon. Then, right after that, there are laces that seem to tie down the boots itself. However, where the sole is, just a little above it, there seems to be armour on it, going all the way around her boots and once it reaches the back, it actually goes upwards until the very end of the “collar” but also going downwards, creating a high heel like shape to the boots.
Well, as anyone can see from this amazing description of yours truly, she’s looking fabulous, elegant, beautiful, but not like a Magical Girl.
