I went to a lottery to bet, the biggest prize can only be obtained if you correctly hit all 12 numbers, fortunately I remember them all perfectly since it's something I watched with my sister.
But I must say that I feel uncomfortable with the looks of the people, my clothes stand out a lot and since I'm beautiful, many men end up looking at me beyond the highlight of the clothes.
Of course, I understand that seeing someone in winter clothes when it's not winter is obviously eye-catching, especially considering that my clothes seem very expensive.
However, I ignore this and go to my sister's school, I won't be able to enter and I don't have identification, what I'm going to do is simply spy on my sister from the top of a building with the scope of a sniper-style rifle.
The biggest problem will be if someone notices me since I won't be able to explain why I'm aiming a gun's sight at school students, so I must be careful not to be noticed.
I also need to practice my powers, for example I don't know how to use weapons, when I summon my weapon automatically as a reflex I know how to use it perfectly, but it's a fact that I've never used a weapon before.
So knowing how to use them is something of being a magical girl, in addition, my current outfit is simply "armor" its resistance is colossal compared to common clothes.
However...if I dismiss them I will be completely naked since 100% of my current outfit is composed of my "fantasy" of a magical girl, another thing I find strange are the wings on my head.
They may seem like just a simple accessory, but in reality they are a part of my body and as a part of my body they have sensations which I am not at all used to.
Of course, I can make them disappear and reappear and I'm not very sure of their usefulness, but apparently they are useful to me, so dismissing them could be bad.
So I'll keep them most of the time and just give the excuse that it's an accessory I received as a gift, anyway I can literally detach them from my body, although if I get too far away they disappear.
Walking through the city is a bit strange for me, at this time I should be at school and in the past walking on the street I didn't attract as much attention as I do now, so I decide to test my powers to stop being observed.
As a magical girl, I am physically very strong, so I will go to an alley and jump up to a balcony.
'T-This is amazing...' I jump to another, and end up getting too excited jumping quickly from one to the other, but near the top I slip, plummeting from a height of 15 floors.
A thud occurs while I only feel a slight sting of pain, while the ground below has a small crater as if my weight were high, although I'm not that heavy.
Due to the noise, I quickly jump up again more carefully and stay on top of the building, I look down seeing people who curiously went to look at the noise.
'I almost got discovered...I need to be more careful...' I admit I was a bit scared of dying when I slipped, I didn't imagine the ground would break and I would barely feel the damage.
I start jumping from one building to another using this as a faster mode of transportation and to train, I need to have the strength to defeat the monsters and save my sister in any situation.
I don't want my sister to suffer or be if she is raped I need to kill myself and try again, but I don't want to become extremely dependent on it so I need to be cautious.
Just because I have infinite second chances doesn't mean I can be careless, if I let my sister suffer from negligence I will hate myself, so I must always avoid her suffering instead of just killing myself and ignoring her pain just because I went back in time.
'The city is quite beautiful from up here' I think as I breathe the air looking at the lively city below, it's even strange to imagine that there are monsters lurking and that somehow magically they manage to avoid being noticed.
And they are so blatant, but so hidden in "strange accidents" in "unusual kidnappings" or in "people disappearing out of nowhere" all these things are apparently monsters.
Deaths, disappearances, accidents and even some natural disasters are the fault of monsters, and I don't even know what they are, magic is so convenient I would love to have magic, but what I have is just "magic".
All my power comes from a malicious demon who will certainly try to deceive me in every possible way to take more and more from me.
"Haaa...sister...you would be so disappointed if you knew the monster I'm becoming...or gently forgive me" I murmur thoughtfully, what would my sister think of my obsessive unhealthy behavior towards her?
Would she be scared? Disgusted with me? Maybe never want to see me again in her life? I don't know, and I'll never know because from the moment I went back, my past self no longer exists.
My sister will only see me as a stranger, this hurts my heart a little, but I think being forgotten is a small price to pay to save her, I can carry all the pain in the world for her.
I know how much she suffered, I understand her, I felt all her pain precisely to be the only one to understand her perfectly, and I will never let her go through that again, as I think about this I end up arriving at the building across from her school.
The school is very nice, it's relatively "special" in this school you need to have a 50% pass rate on the very difficult admission test, in other words, everyone is smart people or rich kids who paid to secretly skip the test.
My sister in my past life had a 78% pass rate while I had a 75% pass rate, but what differentiated our grades was that I didn't study very well since I was focused on teaching my sister.
And it happens that each student receives pre-study topics, so my sister studied her topic, but I didn't study mine, of course I'm not a genius just because of that.
I'm just very good at memorizing, and in the end the test is based mainly on memorizing the content and putting it in the test, so I'm smart, but I'm not a genius I think.
There's no way for me to know if I'm a genius or not, I've always had good grades, but I've never been able to focus much on the tests because my sister occupies about 90% of my mind.
And yes, I understand that having 90% of my mind focused on my sister makes me practically a mentally ill lunatic obsessed with my sister, but I don't care about that, I already have a mental illness having one more isn't a big problem.
Besides, I can only feel feelings for her, so obviously the space she occupies in my mind and heart has to be very large, she makes me feel alive, I'm nothing without her.
I summon my sniper-style rifle and aim at the student admission plate looking for my sister's grade, she must have done well even without my help, she's very smart when she tries.
"!!!"
"...56%...her grades have dropped...is she okay? Or is she very sad? She almost failed..." I feel sad, she has always been very proud of having gotten a good grade on this admission test.
I can't believe her grades have dropped so much, it may not seem like a big deal after all it's a 22% drop and it wouldn't even be a huge drop on a normal test.
But this particular test is not normal at all, it has exactly 1000 questions being the largest admission test in the country with an average delay of almost 40 hours to be completed.
It is divided into several stages over the course of basically a month as it is so large, it is done in December because the school year starts on January 1st, which reminds me that today is exactly January 1st.
Of course, there have been complaints about this test having so many questions to the point of being considered ridiculous, but what happens is that this school is funded by the government and the government is doing the [100-year test] or something like that.
Apparently it's an initiative aimed at increasing the general population's IQ for the future, so they made this school that has exaggerated tests and exams sometimes, although the admission test is the most exaggerated.
It's very similar to a common school in general, so much so that the classes and school rules are like in a common school, there's nothing extremely restrictive or different from other schools.
The normal tests are not so long or difficult, okay that yes it is difficult and has a lot of content taught, but it is nothing at the extreme level, it is just the initial test that is a way to remove the unqualified.
That is, in my past life my sister got 780 questions right, but in this life without my help in the studies she got only 560 basically got 220 more questions wrong which is a huge drop in grades.
And this is clearly a bit discouraging, but what makes me feel worse is the fact that I felt slightly happy at the possibility of her almost failing, it's not that I like her to fail.
I just think that if she failed, she would go to a regular school and wouldn't have to go through certain sufferings that occur at this school, especially because some of her classmates are also magical girls.
And besides, this school has many students, so there are hidden monsters, traitorous magical girls and a high amount of people to be mentally manipulated by monsters.
So if my sister had failed, many problems could have been avoided, but I'm also truly happy that she passed, it was her dream to enter this school.
"Congratulations, sister, you did it without my help" I murmur with a happy smile, this fills me with a sense of satisfaction and pride, she managed to enter the most difficult school in the country on her own merit.
I wish I could hug her and congratulate her while giving her a gift, unfortunately I can't do that so I'll just congratulate her from a distance.
I know a way to get into this school, since the school aims for smart students, I can get in even without the admission test, as long as I go to the administration, ask for a test, and manage to ace it.
Of course, getting 1000 questions right will be difficult, but I'll just cheat anyway, I have a demon on my "side", I just hope this demon doesn't charge too dearly just to help me cheat on a test.
