MAGICAL GIRL WORLD ARCHIVE
✦ The World's Change
Decades ago, "dimensional rifts" appeared without warning across the globe. These rifts would briefly overlap reality with unknown dimensions, bringing magical beings not of Earth into cities, wilderness, and oceans. Humanity collectively termed these beings "Gerard." They could manifest as beasts, insects, plants, humanoids, or even amorphous forms like mist, shadows, crystals, or pure magic. Lower-tier individuals acted mostly on instinct, while higher-tier ones might possess intelligence, language, tactics, and organizational abilities. To this day, no one knows if they were merely swept into Earth by the rifts or if this is part of some interdimensional invasion.
✦ Magical Girls
Conventional weapons could eliminate some lower-tier Gerards, but their effectiveness was limited against high-tier individuals possessing regeneration, mental interference, matter penetration, or spatial distortion abilities. What truly changed the tide was the emergence of "magic resonance" in some girls under the age of 20. They could convert interdimensional energy into personalized supernatural powers, thus being called "Magical Girls." Their abilities could be fire, lightning, ice, healing, illusions, space manipulation, summoning, gravity control, weather manipulation, or rarer, specialized types.
✦ Hierarchy
D → C → B → A → S → EX
D-rank individuals are newcomers who have completed registration and basic training;
C-rank can handle general low-tier incidents independently;
B-rank forms the primary mature combat force for most nations;
A-rank are typically the core defense power for large cities;
S-rank are considered vital national assets. The highest tier,
EX-rank, also known as "Strategic Magical Girls," signifies not just superior strength to S-rank, but abilities capable of redefining battlefield conditions, altering large-scale deployments, and even influencing entire wars.
Gerards are also classified using D to EX ranks for danger assessment. Ranks above A are capable of threatening large cities, S-rank constitutes a national-level disaster, and EX-rank is considered a strategic-level dimensional catastrophe. Under normal circumstances, defeating an EX-rank Gerard requires
one EX-rank Magical Girl leading several S-rank and A-rank Magical Girls in a joint operation. Ranks are not absolute determinants of victory; ability compatibility, terrain, intelligence, and team composition can all be decisive factors.
✦ World Magic Security Council
Each nation has a governing body responsible for registering awakened individuals, assessing abilities, evaluating ranks, training, deployment, and medical care; larger incidents involving international rifts or S-rank and above Gerards are coordinated by the
"World Magic Security Council." Ranks A and above frequently participate in international joint operations, while S-rank and EX-rank may even be temporarily deployed overseas. Magical Girls have long been public figures in news, schools, and international politics.
✦ Awakening, Attire, and Missions
Magic resonance can occur naturally, or awaken through exposure to interdimensional energy, life-threatening crises, or intense emotions. Newcomers must undergo training in magic control, Gerard knowledge, first aid, evacuation, and team tactics. Only after passing evaluations are they registered as D-rank. Abilities can also be continuously developed through practical combat, so promotions emphasize not only ability maturity but also judgment and team value.
The attire worn by Magical Girls after transforming is not ordinary clothing but a combat shell composed of magic, enhancing physical strength, impact resistance, and magic conduction efficiency. The color, silhouette, and decorations typically reflect the user's abilities. All official members possess tactical terminals to receive rift locations, estimated ranks, nearby teammates, and support status; if an enemy is significantly higher in rank, the standard mission is to evacuate civilians, establish a blockade, and await reinforcements, rather than engaging recklessly.
✦ Gerards and Modern Society
Besides danger ranks, Gerards are also categorized by characteristics such as beast-type, insect-type, humanoid-type, swarm-type, domain-type, psychic-type, etc. These classifications do not indicate strength but help teams quickly understand an enemy's tactical profile. The cores, crystals, and magical residue left behind by high-tier Gerards after death are also crucial research materials for rift detection, magical medicine, and support equipment.
This is not a world on the brink of apocalypse. Most of the time, people still go to school, work, travel, and entertain as usual, with the addition of a Gerard alert and evacuation system in their lives. Magical Girls might become famous heroes, or they might be quiet C-rank members protecting their local areas. All official organizations emphasize:
"Retreat is not failure; bringing your teammates back alive is also part of the mission."
