Chapter 27: Magical Girls
I quickly see the 2 magical girls Rose and Azuli, both are chatting animatedly as I walk towards the school entrance.
'Azuli has a bandage on her arm...' This is in my memory, in the fight that occurred I broke Azuli's arm while receiving an attack from Rose that burned my abdomen.
'For a normal human, that injury would require amputation due to severe damage...' Magical girls are really impressive, such damage only required mere bandages to fix.
'She's probably going to be perfectly fine by tonight or tomorrow...' I try to go unnoticed, but Rose stops me as she sees me trying not to draw attention.
"Hey Shizune, the teacher Angelica said to tell you that you have to turn in your homework, you shouldn't be procrastinating like that," She says in a commanding tone, her tone disapproving.
"..." I ignore her and try to move on, this is so much hypocrisy, the "me" of this world wasn't procrastinating, this magical girl doesn't even know about my difficulties to simply judge that I'm procrastinating.
The "me" of this world was trying hard to organize everything that needed to be done, Rose grabs my shoulder and prevents me from moving forward.
"Hey, it's rude to ignore others like that!" Her disapproving tone increases to a more serious one.
'She's just a class president and already thinks so highly of herself...tsk' She didn't need to do this in front of everyone who's here, she could have just called me to a more private place, she's practically humiliating me publicly, even if it's not her intention.
"Okay, I'll turn it in..." I tell her to let me go, she nods and releases me.
"If you're having difficulties, you can let me know and I'll try to help," She says as she sees me leaving.
'...' I don't need her help, I don't think she can solve my curse, so she's useless.

Besides, I want to stay away from them as much as possible since I suspect that one of them is or will be the Yandere, or maybe I should get closer to them? I'm not sure yet.
As I walk, I hear negative murmurs directed at me, the people at this school don't like me very much.
I'm too "Dark" for their taste, my black hair and eyes along with my apathetic behavior make them not want to be around me and consider me a strange person.
"Hey, weirdo," I look at who spoke to me, soon recognizing him from my memories, this is one of the ones who used to intimidate me in the past.
He spread a rumor that helped destroy the remaining chance of making common friendships.
He spread the rumor that I "play" with animal and insect corpses, and this started because in elementary school he "saw" me training my power and failing.
In other words, he didn't see the powers in use, but saw the "me" of this world trying to move the corpses and talking to them.
"What do you want?" My voice in this world is apathetic and somewhat tired, while in my magical girl form it's cold and arrogant.
"I heard you were causing problems again because you can't be normal, weirdo?" The Shizune of this world always delayed her homework and other activities that required free time.
Because she was always busy since she had to start a criminal organization from scratch while still quite young, whether arranging the base, making plans, or having conversations with other villains.
She was always too busy to have free time and was always very tired, which helps contribute to the image of a "dark" girl who is strange.
"I'm not in the mood for a conversation, could you just go away?" At least I have something nice to use all the time.
The annoying guy soon trembles with fear and walks away.
What happened is quite simple, when I try to use my power to control corpses on a living being, they feel a bad sensation that makes them want to move away.
"..." I just got to school and I'm already hating everything. I go to my locker and enter the combination, as soon as I open it, I see it full of things to mock me, they were stuffed through the locker slits to humiliate me.
Because it's easy to mock someone who's different, this has always irritated the Shizune of this world, she's already told Angelica, but Angelica can't do anything beyond simple warnings and mere reprimands.
They're lucky the Shizune of this world never liked killing anyone, or else they would have already disappeared from the face of the earth.
I ignore this and just take what I need for class, while keeping some of the things I brought with me.
After organizing my things, I close the locker and go to my classroom.
Ironically, what I stored in my locker are cute-looking and anything but normal explosives, precisely so they would be unidentifiable.
The Shizune of this world was going to set them up in a bank because she needed money for some things, so I'll go ahead with the plan.
They are intelligent explosives, so they'll start moving on their own in a few hours and will go to the place they're supposed to go. The reason I brought them with me is because to activate them, they need to be at least 500 meters away from the owner.
So I have to obligatorily leave them at school, with their cute shape, no one will suspect, at most they'll just think it's another thing they'll use to mock me.
After school, I'll probably carry out the attack, putting the thoughts of robbery aside, I'll go to the classroom where Angelica soon arrives.
I sit in the most distant point from the board, near the exit door, so I can leave quickly.
'Magic is amazing...' It's so obvious that these 3 are the magical girls, but no one notices.
I decide to spend the class closely observing the three, the Shizune of this world just tried to ignore them and interact with them as little as possible, but I need to find out who the Yandere is.
Of course, there's no guarantee it's actually one of the three, I'm literally basing it on instinct and paranoia.
But the paranoia inherited from the first world has helped me more than once, so I'll trust it again.
However, magical girls are much more perceptive than I expected, as Rose and Azuli looked directly at me, which ended up making our eyes meet.
I try to disguise it and look at my notebook.
'How did they notice that?' It wasn't a coincidence, since the 2 of them looked at the same time, and Angelica seemed to notice too, although she didn't look because she's writing on the board.
They soon go back to writing, and I go back to observing them, there's not much I can do besides that.
In my case, I really need to be on guard against the three, so all I can do is observe and analyze.
'I think I'll try to catalog their weaknesses...' This kind of makes me look like an animated cartoon villain, but I don't care.
I start drawing their bodies in the notebook while trying to see what could be a possible weak point for me to have an advantage.
As I observe them, I keep drawing several sketches one after the other, it seems the Shizune of this world was quite analytical, so this is helping me.
'Wait...my drawings are perfect...' I don't know if this is a coincidence, but in the previous world, even without ever having painted before, I made a beautiful painting.
However, in none of the lives have I ever painted before, so I don't know if this was a talent from the previous life or if it's a talent I've always had.
'This is interesting to think about...' If it's a talent from the previous world, it means I can inherit talents from different lives.
'But it also means I can inherit weaknesses...' I don't know which option is better, not inheriting anything good or bad, or inheriting good things with the chance of inheriting bad things.
'I'll think about that another time, I should continue trying to find weaknesses.' I don't think I'll find weaknesses just by observing them in class, at the moment I'm also remembering several fights we've had.
That way, I have more chances of finding a weakness, after all, "I" have already had several confrontations with them.
'Rose is physically strong, Azuli is physically fast, and Angelica is balanced...' I start sketching the 3 of them in different positions, they're not perfect due to the haste, but they're good enough.
'Rose has more destructive power, Azuli has more support capabilities, and Angelica surpasses the two in both aspects...' Angelica is obviously the strongest of the three, not only in power but also in experience.
The sketch of Angelica is the most detailed of the three, because she is the strongest, so naturally I need to be more careful and prepared for her.
I simply forget to do the assignment while drawing the best I can, there are several drawings of them in various fighting positions, some in casual clothes and others in magical girl outfits, so I can notice the differences.
There are also different positions where they cast magic, in general it looks like I'm drawing a manga, considering the amount of drawing and sketching.
I lost so much time focusing on this that the class ended.
"Shizune, the teacher Angelica wants to talk to you," Rose appears in front of me as I quickly hide the notebook so she can't see what I'm drawing.
"I'll go see her in a bit, I'm just going to put my stuff away," I say as I start packing my things.
