On the rooftop of the teaching building at Mitakihara Middle School, Adam and Homura reappeared.
"...."
The two of them briefly sat in silence and gazed down at Madoka Kaname and Sayaka Miki, who were laughing and joking.
The scene had been reenacted. Everything that has happened has been erased.
"Why did you do this?"
The black-haired regressor's confused voice echoed in the surroundings
Although Homura ultimately obeyed Adam's advice and activated the time-reversal magic- she still wanted to know the reason.
"It's no use just defeating Walpurgisnacht." Adam extended an arm and looked down at his palm. "Kyubey won't let Madoka go, and Madoka will eventually become a magical girl too. The civilization behind it is strong, so we can't stop it forever."
"If that's the case, what's the point of regressing?"
If it's just endless regression, it will still be quite difficult to deal with Kyubey, right?
"Accumulating Karma."
-The same response, with the same style.
And she still doesn't understand. The extent of the plan he has shared with her is too limited.
Defeating the strongest Witch made her think that she won't have to go through endless regressions. But it seems this isn't the case at all.
"...I see."
Homura decided to continue believing him.
"So what are you planning to do next? I'd like to do it with you this time."
During the previous cycle, although she had paid attention to Adam's actions, she didn't know exactly what he had done.
This time, she had decided to accompany him throughout the entire process to see if she could actually guess the full scope of his plan/intentions.
"Hmm…"
He put a hand on his chin and pondered
"Let's try a different way to play this time."
The silver-haired boy's lips curled upwards as he decided on trying something very interesting.
…
..
.
Adam and Homura entered Mitakihara Middle School together. They navigated through the hallways, found the principal's office, and rudely entered without knocking.
"Who are you?"
The principal, who was processing documents, looked up at them with confusion.
He was a classical, kind-faced, middle-aged man with a belly. Fortunately, Madoka Magica isn't an NTR hentai; otherwise, he would be the first that Adam would kill.
"Principal, are you still hiring teachers here?"
The silver-haired boy calmly smiled.
Rather, it was more fitting to call him a man now. For the purpose of this timeline, he aged himself up to around 20 years old. Not too young, but not too old either.
He has to say- he has a bright future ahead of him. He's even more handsome when older!
"Hmm? I…" Before the principal could even frown and refuse, his eyes turned blank for a moment. "-I'm hiring, of course I'm hiring! What position are you looking for?"
"Oh…" The silver-haired man rubbed his chin and pondered. "Does Mitakihara Junior High School have a school counselor?"
He wanted to try being a counselor to treat the psychological problems unique to these girls during puberty. It sounds very interesting.
"No."
The principal shook his head. At this time, his eyes returned to normal- seemingly as if he had never been hypnotized.
"Then I'll take this position." Adam nodded in satisfaction. Then, he gestured towards the silent black-haired girl with his head. "Also, arrange for her to be a transfer student at Class X of the second year."
He didn't know how Homura transferred to Madoka's class in every timeline. But since he has already hypnotized the principal, he might as well help her this time.
"Okay." The principal nodded. "I'll arrange it for you right away."
-Without any hesitation, the hypnotized principal immediately agreed.
…

.
During lunch break, the school issued a notice.
The notice was-
"Wow! Madoka, our school has a new school counselor!" Sayaka, with stars in her eyes, turned to Madoka with anticipation. "Should we go and see him?"
The blue-haired girl is very curious about this.
School is usually very boring, and it's rare for something new and exciting to happen. She needs to join the fun; otherwise, she'll definitely regret it later!
"Isn't this a bad idea?" Madoka frowned in worry. "We don't have any problems."
Although the pink-haired girl is also somewhat interested in going to see the new school counselor… She's a well-behaved child; she doesn't want to bother that new teacher.
"Come oooon!" Her friend pouted. "We're just going to take a look!"
Then, ignoring the pinkette's protests, Sayaka forcefully pulled Madoka away from the classroom.
…
..
.
At this moment, Adam was sitting in the newly tidied psychological counseling room, receiving the first student who came to the room.
Most people had come over to check out of curiosity, but this girl is the only one who has entered for advice.
"So teacher, should I confess my feelings?"
She stood there nervously, twiddling her thumbs behind her back.
"Hmm…" He closed his eyes and pondered, "Based on the information you've given me, the chances of success are not high."
This is an ordinary-looking girl, and her consultation question is a classic one about relationships.
Girls at this age are majorly concerned about this.
However, her boyfriend- or rather, the boy she wants as a boyfriend- seems to be a very popular guy.
Adam doesn't think she'll succeed. Unless her personality is unique, she doesn't stand out from the rest of that guy's options.
"Sigh~" The girl sighed, seemingly giving up. "I know, then let's just forget about it."
Then she shook her head. She was already prepared for this answer.
"So...teacher."
The girl looked up at him and changed the subject.
"Have you ever thought about being in a relationship?" She blinked coquettishly. "What do you think of me?"
…
This new teacher is way more handsome than her previous target!
After she came here and saw Adam's face, she decisively changed her target.
All that talk about confessing her feelings was just a prelude.
…
"I'm sorry." The silver-haired man's eyebrows twitched, and he looked at her with a deadpan stare. "But we're not a good match."
Girls in their teens truly are weird. But it can't be helped, after all. His current adult form is just too handsome.
"All right....."
Even though she is disappointed, the girl didn't linger.
She calmly said goodbye to Adam and left directly.
…
Even after the girl left, Adam could still hear her excited discussions with her other companions that were waiting and eavesdropping at the door.
Knock
Knock
After a short while, there was another knock on the door.
"Come in."
Adam's lips curled upwards. He already knew who was behind that door.
A familiar blue-haired girl and another familiar pink-haired girl entered his office at his utterance.
"Madoka, Sayaka, good afternoon."
The silver-haired man nodded warmly with familiarity.
"Huh?"
Madoka cast a questioning look at the councilor in front of her.
"Teacher, do we know each other?"
She scratched her head in confusion, misplacing her pink locks of hair.
"Oh?"
Adam blinked, but then his smile widened.
It's very weird for someone you regard as a friend to not recognize you. However, with the experiences of GGZ Kiana and Mei, he won't ever lose his composure again.
"I remember the names and faces of all the students in the school."
Looking into their unfamiliar eyes, Adam felt weird in his heart.
…
Poor Homura, she always feels like this again and again. Even though he has also experienced in GGZ- one can never get used to such things.
And he himself feels uncomfortable after just one time; it was hard to imagine the pain Homura Akemi has endured up until now.
…
"Wow! That's amazing!"
Sayaka smiled and praised him in excitement, very impressed at his 'dedication'.
"So," He interlocked his fingers together and placed his intertwined hands on the table in front of him. "What brings you two here?"
He was curious. These two didn't have any problems in the previous cycle.
"We just want to get to know our new teacher!"
Sayaka jumped lightly on her tiptoes and put her hands behind her back as she leaned forward.
The silver-haired man raised an eyebrow:
"Now that you've seen me, what are your thoughts?"
"Teacher seems very kind." The blue-haired girl nudged the pinkette with her elbow. "Madoka, what do you think?"
"Yeah…" Her friend replied absentmindedly in a daze, "Me too."
Madoka didn't really know why, but when she saw Adam, she felt a strange sense of familiarity.
It's as if she had met this man before- and her heart even started beating faster involuntarily.
But this is clearly their first time meeting.
…
The three chatted for a while in a relaxed atmosphere.
Of course, since this is their first meeting, they didn't talk for very long. They aren't that familiar with each other.
"Lunch break is almost over."
Sayaka looked at the clock on the wall and shook her head.
"Mister Adam, we'll be leaving now!"
She stood up with Madoka in hand, and waved at the silver-haired man who was calmly sitting on the chair behind the desk.
"Yeah. You can visit me anytime"
Adam nodded with a smile and waved back in goodbye.
…

DING
As the school bell rang, Madoka and Sayaka sat down in their seats. Whispering to each other as they waited for class to begin.
The homeroom teacher, Saotome Kazuko, entered the class.
She stepped onto the podium and made a few routine complaints about the unreliability of men- which was then met with laughter from the students.
Sayaka Miki, not having said enough, started secretly gossiping with Madoka.
"It looks like Ms. Saotome has broken up with someone again."
"It seems so…."
After Kazuko finished her rant, her expression turned serious.
"Now, let me introduce a transfer student to you."
"Well then, Akemi-san, please come in."
"Okay."
As the teacher motioned, Homura walked in expressionlessly.
She wore the Mitakihara Middle School uniform. Her purple eyes stared ahead emotionlessly as though she didn't really want to be here.
"Ooh!"
Her long, flowing black hair, beautiful face, and aloof, otherworldly air caused the students in the class to gasp in amazement.
"What a stunning beauty!"
Sayaka exclaimed, her eyes shining in admiration.
"Yes!"
Madoka nodded, looking at the black-haired transfer student with a hint of envy.
Homura is completely uninterested in the gazes of others; her eyes are only on that pink figure.
'Huh? Is this new classmate looking at me?'
Madoka noticed the new girl's gaze and furrowed her eyebrows in puzzlement.
However, just as the pinkette was getting weirded out, Homura quickly looked away from her.
She calmly and casually picked a seat by the window and sat down to listen to the lesson.
This made Madoka think that it was just her imagination. How could the new transfer student instantly stare at her with such a gaze?
