You really are popular!

Let's watch it together~

Ah, there's an ad...
If you wanna be a magical girl, start with an apprenticeship!

Skip this ad in 4 seconds.

The Magical Girl Apprentice Exams are now accepting applicants!
Apprentice exams...!?

A once-in-a-lifetime chance for the "girl" who wants intel on magical girls...

p2

And starting this year, we're aboloshing the upper age limit!
Eh!?

So even someone of my age can apply!?
Yes.
It's apparently due to declining birth rates.
You sure know some complicated words...

Starting as a magical girl apprentice and eventually becoming a real magical girl...!!
A magical girl... who is actually a spy for an evil organization...!
That'll raise my salary for sure!!
O~hoho

I'm gonna apply!
I'm being called in as a lecturer too, so let's go together.

p3

Magical Girl Association

This is the Magical Girl Association.

Magical Girl Association - Magical Girl Apprentice Exams

It's a surprisingly normal building.

...I don't see any adults around at all...
They didn't just float away, did they?
You, the pervert over there!!

M-Meria-chan!?
That voice... The tracksuit woman!?

So Mamu isn't enough for you anymore.
Now you're targeting even younger girls...
No!!

Security

I'm here to take the apprentice exam too!
Look!

p4

Hello, police?
Why!?

You need magical girl-esque clothes for the exam venue, right?
I'm just wearing this over it because it's embarrassing.

Please don't get Neighbor arrested.
Well.
If you say so, Mamu...

p5

Wow~ It's huge~

So this is what it's like inside the building.
It's like magic.
Magic was used to expand the space inside.

Hah

If anyone finds out I'm an evil general infiltrating the magical girls' stronghold,
I'm a goner...!!

Neighbor.
Hyesh!?

I'm heading this way. See you later.
Ah, yes. Later.

p6

Magical Girl Apprentice Exam Hall

Being alone makes me nervous...!
I should hurry to the exam hall.

It's that room, right...?
Oh?

That girl... I wonder what's wrong?

Hey, you there.
Eep!

p7

I-I'm sorry...
I'm here to take... the apprentice exams, but...
I'm a little anxious by myself...

Same here!
How about we go in together?
Eh!?

A-Alright...
Together...

I'm Fujiyama Shinobu. Nice to meet you.
I'm Kuroboshi Riri.
Um...

p8

Would it be alright...
if I call you "Onee-san"...?

Onee-san (hnng)

Sure!
I'm Riri-chan's onee-san starting today!
I'm so happy that a child is relying on me!
It fills me with confidence!

Magical Girl Apprentice Exam Hall

Welcome, future magical girls.

p9

I'm your examiner, Aroaro.

Magical Girl Association Examiner - Aroaro

Before the exam, let's begin with a small lecture.
We're going to learn about magical girls.
Okay~

Fufu.
So small yet so full of energy.

I know there's no age limit and all, but I feel bad for pushing you so hard...
Your consideration only hurts all the more.

p10

A magical girl's magic power hits its peak between the ages of 14 and 17,
and drops harshly after you reach adulthood.
Heh~
I don't want that~
Are you okay, Onee-san?

However, you can raise your magic power with the right training.
But...
the amount you can gain also peaks while you're young.

I-I'm okay, Riri-chan.
A magical girl's duties mostly involve patrolling around town,
assisting the police and the fire departments...

and eradicating evil organizations.
Speaking of evil organizations...
Are you really okay...!?

p11

Next, let's measure your magic power.

Put your hand over this magic crystal ball.

7...?

The girls who come to the apprentice exams are usually around 5-8.
Heh~
Interesting~

No worries.
The doctors did say I have magic power, after all...

Hrrng!

p12

So low!
Ah, sorry.
So this thing can even show subdecimals, huh...

Low. She said I was low...
I only got a 2, so please cheer up.
Ooh~

Sun-chan got a 20!
Amazing~

Aspiring Magical Girl Apprentice - Himawari Sun

You think so~?
Maybe I'm a genius?
20 is really amazing!

p13

Did you hear that, Riri-chan?
That girl sure is something, huh~
Y-Yeah...

Well then, before the exam, let's do some practice.

Does everyone have a magic wand?
Yes~

p14

This is our special lecturer for today, Princess Mamu.

It's Princess Mamu in the flesh!!
So cool!
Please give me your autograph~

...

Mamu-chan's really popular, huh~
Ah, I'm friends with Mamu-chan.
I-
Is that so...?

This wand is filled with magic power.
Even if you don't have any magic of your own, if you just imagine the spell you want to use and wave the wand like so,
you can do things such as firing magic orbs or moving objects.
Wah~
Amazing~

p15

Okay, everyone. Let's try casting some magic.
Use magic orbs to hit the targets.

There!

I did it!
Me too~

I-...
I did it too... kinda...

I can't do it~
Calm down, Riri-chan...

Wow, Sun-chan!
So cool!
Eh~? All I did was wave it~

p16

Look out!!

p17

?
?

Th-Thank goodness~
That's Mamu-chan for you.

Thanks for that, Mamu.
No, it was Neighbor who...

Are you okay too, Riri-chan?
Ah...
Y-Yes...

p18

This wand is broken.
For real...!?

I didn't check it properly.
I'm sorry, everyone.

I'm so glad you're okay~
That's enough practice.
I'll take back the wands for now...
...

Now then, let's begin the final practical exam.
As for what it entails...

Beyond this door lies the "Dungeon of Trials".
There awaits many literal trials.

p19

There are various routes, but they'll all test your magic power, knowledge and bravery.

Exit
Entrance

If you can clear them and escape the dungeon through the exit door, you pass.

There is, however, a 30 minute time limit.
I wish you all the best of luck!

Let the exam begin!!

A gruelling trial awaits!? What fate awaits the magical girl apprentice candidate in her thirties!?
