Happy New Year.

Hello, everyone, I'm Yishui, the editor of the Magical Girl Encyclopedia.
The Magical Girl Encyclopedia is a platform under the Alliance dedicated to showcasing information about magical girls to the public. Anyone can freely edit the encyclopedia's content and upload photos and videos of magical girls.
Of course, the content you upload must pass the Alliance's review to be displayed. It's absolutely prohibited to upload revealing photos of magical girls.
Notable magical events to watch out for this week include:
Three magical girls appearing on the streets together, a mysterious pink light snowfall on the streets, and a series of car accidents caused by a magical girl descending from the sky.
For more details, please refer to the upcoming detailed reports.
The magical girl with the highest monster elimination count this week is the "Three-Zero" magical girl, Aquamarine. She appeared 34 times in the last 7 days and eliminated a total of 28 monsters, with a success rate of 82.35%.
Aquamarine is truly working very hard. Sometimes, even on night shifts, you can see her figure traversing the night sky. I believe that her record will remain unbroken for a long time to come.
The most active magical girl this week is the "Little Sister" magical girl, Light Yanyan. Within the week, she held two performances, had five fan meetings, appeared in seven television programs, and was interviewed 13 times.
It's hard to believe how Yanyan manages her time, participating in so many activities while still maintaining her lively personality. I really wish I could borrow some of her energy.
The magical girl who claimed the title of "Destruction Queen" this week is the "Healing" magical girl, Mercury. She appeared three times this week, causing a total of 49,000 RMB in public property damage, averaging 18,000 yuan in damage per appearance.
As of the time of this article, Mercury has accumulated 560,000 yuan in economic property damage this year, surpassing the second-place "Elegant" magical girl, Marjorie, who has caused 120,000 yuan in damage. Unless an unexpected event occurs, Mercury is on track to secure the title of the Destruction Queen for the year.
If this pace continues, by the end of the year, Mercury is expected to surpass the 720,000 yuan property damage record set by the "Kind-Hearted" magical girl, Lillian, three years ago, becoming the magical girl with the most damage caused in nearly a decade.
Mercury, it seems there's still a lot for you to learn.
Special Report of the Week:
On Sunday, the Alliance conducted a surprise inspection of the "Kind-Hearted" magical girl's agency. Unfortunately, the agency did not pass the inspection. The Alliance issued warnings to Magical Girl Lillian and Magical Girl Alice, and for the next two weeks, it seems we won't be able to see them active on the streets at night.
The above is a summary of the events worth noting this week. Editor Yishui will continue to bring you key news about magical girls.
Now, please read the detailed report below.

On the swaying subway, Zhang Jingya wore a black and white faux-shirt dress, leaning against the railing and boredly staring at her phone.

Ten Secrets You Should Know About Magical Girls
1. Abbreviations
In our daily lives, we often use abbreviations when referring to magical girls. The full names of magical girls are usually reserved for their self-introductions.
For example, the full name of Magical Girl Mercury is the innocent and cute Healing-type magical beauty Magical Girl Mercury.
And for the recently debuted Magical Girl Alice, her full name is the Spirit-Contracted Magical Girl of Love and Justice, Alice.
2. Family Names
Magical girls from the same agency often share a specific naming convention. Names can be used to distinguish the magical girl's "family."
For example, the names of Healing-type magical girls all relate to celestial bodies and stars, while the names of the "Three-Zero" type magical girls are related to gemstones and minerals.
The most unconventional naming system belongs to the Metal-type magical girls. Metal-type magical girls are named with a single letter followed by a five-digit number.
If you ever have the privilege of attending a Metal-type magical girl's fan meeting, you might witness the entire audience rhythmically shouting out seemingly random numerical codes like L14739 or T74791.
Don't worry, you haven't stumbled into the ritual site of a cult, you're at a Metal-type magical girl's fan meeting.
3. Classification
When we describe magical girls, we often categorize them as "XX-type" magical girls. In reality, the original magical girls didn't have these classifications; they were simply categorized by the agencies they belonged to.
However, as magical girls could transfer and change agencies, using agency distinctions to define magical girls' types no longer accurately represented their characteristics. Therefore, the Alliance established the system of categorizing magical girls and required its encyclopedias to summarize them based on the magical girls' self-proclaimed types.
This categorization is based on the magical girls' self-proclaimed types, and it can sometimes lead to contradictions between their categorized attributes and their actual personalities. Occasionally, members of the public may spontaneously add new classifications to magical girls.
Currently, in addition to the Alliance's standardized elemental types, there are various other categories of magical girls, such as the "Elegant" type, "Little Sister" type, "Innocent" type, "Cute" type, "Three-Zero" type, and many more.

"Boring... Is all this content really necessary? Do they have to write so much?"
Zhang Jingya quickly scrolled to the bottom of the page.
With a swipe, the lengthy 5,000-word article disappeared from the screen.

A Simple Guide to Stalking Magical Girls
In general, magical girls have fixed active hours, starting from dusk and continuing until the moonlight fades. There are magical girl activities during this time.

Upon seeing the title, Zhang Jingya closed the app.
"Ugh, shameless clickbait news. I'm better off without it!"
Zhang Jingya took out her earphones from her pocket and immersed herself in her own world of music.
The explosive music entered her ears, raging and sweeping everything away. It was like noise, but somehow just a bit more appealing than pure noise.
It was a recording of the punk rock band's rehearsal from last night, yet to undergo any post-production. It was raw, filled with screams, shouts, and lyrics that vented their frustrations and mocked the various craziness in the world.
The frenetic music hammered at Zhang Jingya's heart like a sledgehammer, bringing an indescribable sense of restlessness and tension.
"What's all this about... It's a bit too noisy, isn't it?"
Zhang Jingya chuckled at herself, gradually lowering the volume.
Listening to the rehearsal tracks was a way to repeatedly assess herself, aiming for better expressiveness and a superior performance.
During this self-assessment, Zhang Jingya suddenly thought of Han Huayang, the girl she had only met briefly.
Short hair, flat-chested, and identifying as male, Sister Han carried an air of casual innocence. She was handsome and beautiful, and when she put on feminine clothing, she exuded a hint of girlish shyness and softness.
Han, in her black and white dress, looked like the cute girl next door. However, on Saturdays, when Han wore that sheer miniskirt, she displayed a cool and sexy look reminiscent of a runway model.
That delicate blend of allure and icy coolness was something Zhang Jingya longed for the most, including that height.
"Next time... I should try writing a slightly more subtle song..."
