Magia Record Story The Masked Student Council Strikes Back (Holy Maiden Academy Edition)
Prologue
The story dawns with Minou greeting you, the player, on the grounds of the Holy Maiden Academy, and proceeds to explain the nature of the world. It originates from a fake teaser from Puella Magi Tart ☆ Magica volume 3, and provides the usual disclaimers that everything here is a work of fiction and has no relationship with any real people or organizations. She assures you to relax and enjoy yourself - nothing in this story exists in memory or history, nor does it exist in the realm of possibility or the future. All of this is simply a "what if" fantasy...
Which is fairly obvious to us as readers and players, isn't it? But there's just one little twist in play: in this story, the characters are all aware they're in a video game world, too.
Act 1
Now, we pivot to Tart greeting the player, introducing herself and her friends. She and Melissa are the two members of the Bible Study Club, while Liz is the sole member of the Going-Home Club - a club literally dedicated to going home after school. Finally, there's Elisa, whose not a member of any club, and proceeds to explain how she ended up here.
See, last year, after transferring to the Holy Maiden Academy and losing to Melissa in their judo class at gym, Elisa scoured the school for Melissa's club, and burst in on her for a rematch, assuming it was a martial arts club - only to discover it was the Bible Study Club instead. Tart and Melissa explain while they're in the Bible Study Club, they're using the Going Home Club's clubroom. Elisa boggles over what activities they would do (with Liz abruptly cutting off her text box before the player can tap)...but no, it turned out the club really is all about going home after school. In any case, the four of them have been hanging out ever since.
We have a few more flashbacks to set up the characters - such as Monsieur Gilles de Rais, the head of the Tart Fan Club, and their arch-enemies, the masked student council, helmed by Lapin, Corbeau, and Minou. Their conflict began one year ago, and remains ongoing - and little do they know, their next clash is about to begin...
