Uniquely Specialist 4 - or 'How this is not what I wanted for my Isekai, what do you mean Fairies are OP?' (Winx Club Specialist!SI)
Notes: This is an old chapter from an year ago. Previously a QQ exclusive.
Magic and Technology. Technomagy.
I wasn't exactly sure how the basic stuff of such subject worked, but it was somewhat fun to experiment with what I can and can't do with it. I mean, magic is technically the capacity to create bullshit situation and technology was the crutch that made the bullshit somewhat fitting within a realistic context.
Hence why I loved to try out what kind of Sci-Fi shit I could manage with it. People around would normally praise the 'discovery' of something new about it, but I was a bit of a bastard that loves to entertain my childhood's nostalgia. To a few teachers, this nothing short of astonishing, to many others I was a dangerous element of society just for thinking of this sort of equipment. Which is why I had to abide to a few special rules on when I was meant to use some of the stuff I made and when I should not in any circumstance.
So yeah, that's why I rely a lot on cheap stuff to deal with shitty situation nowadays but... today was not the day for shitty equipment!
I was given a bit of an unusual mission. An Ghoul Invasion of Planet Hoggar as someone had used a dark spell on the Magic School for Forgers and allowed for multiple portals to appear. A siege was currently unfolding and while a few older teams have been sent to take care of the magician behind the spell, I was going to be sent to 'test out' one of the most recent pieces I produced. One that took me months to see turned from an idea into reality and... I'll let the situation speak for itself.
The ship taking me to one of the available hangars couldn't land, so I had to jump myself while already putting on the 'weapon' I had for the occasion. Super-hero landing and that, the height of the jump absorbed with ease as the suit I was now wearing sponged the hit and received no damage to its magical shield.
The Ghouls around screeched and rushed me, expecting to last for long now that they were within range of execution. There was a hint of surprise on their ferocious expressions when I brought up my left arm and revealed a large arm-cannon. I shot thrice, a reddish-yellow beam tearing through the monsters with ease and vaporizing their dead bodies shortly after.

And I know what many would ask here right now... and yes, I have the original Doom soundtrack fully installing in this bad boy and I had my Halo MP player mindset on. In conclusion, I was going to be the worst nightmare for anything that fit within a single requirement: being my foe.
The door barring me access was easily broken with a Missile, giving me greater confidence that I had two level of lethality, with the Power Beam constituting as the 'low threat' response and the Missiles offering me the chance to breach armored beasts. Ghouls were not just a bunch of weak monsters akin to Imps, not when they were employed in large numbes. And right now, the entire School was flooded by these critters.
Yet, it would be a lie to say I struggled to clear up the area. Screeches failed to reach my ears as 'At Doom's Gate' played inside my helmet, carrying me through what was clearly the closest thing to exterminate demons. That being said, I wasn't exactly the only guy on the ground. Two other groups had been dispatched through other hangars, but struggled to push through their own paths to our destination: the basement of the school, right where the headmaster had set up a defensive area to stave off the invaders.
When I say that the school had been overrun, I have to clarify a few things: the current number of students here at school was roughly around the four dozens, with the invading ghouls estimated to be within the area being roughly two hundred and fifty or so. The combined kills from defenders and the other dispatched team was roughly close to a hundred. The rest was mostly claimed by me through a rather vicious and yet enlightening 'tutorial' for my suit.
The item was definitely going to be restrained from further use unless much needed due to its efficiency, but I had the fucking ride of my life. Mowing down enemies, making them fear me, and also making a good job without risking the lives of my allies. Yep, I think I won this game, and the end result was parading a bit, have a bit of a long conversation of the suit's inner working with the Principal of the School, Mr. Hagen, and then be off back to Red Fountain.
Since it took a while to clean up (both within the meanings of purging the monsters and clear out the various damaged rooms, it was late and I wanted to go catch some sleep. I thought that would have been the case... before an issue came up and forced me to take a detour. I was alerted that something had happened while I was on my way back to school. A couple of students were missing from the dorms and since I was still around, I was sent to check on it myself.
The suit wasn't to be used as they knew the missing students were in Alfea. I had a feeling that shouldn't justify a lack of threat, and, in a sense that was the case when I finally caught up to the place. While it was close to impossible to determine why there was no one around at the time, I could instantly tell from the signs of internal damages that something was strolling the school and clawing its way left and right.
'Luckily' for me, I knew that early issues of this kind were all tied to the same bunch of witches. So, it wasn't much of a surprise when I snuck around, found them and proceeded to net them. They got zapped, they went down, and I retrieved a little duck-shaped ice-cube which I brought around. Poor critter just had the worst abusive mom ever, that much I can say.
Still, that wasn't exactly the reason I was there, and I happened to find them staying near the cafeteria after... dealing with a minotaur. The Winx Club was there too, none noticed me as I walked up to Timmy and patted his shoulder.
He nodded, smiling as he turned to look at me and then jumping.
"J-John?! W-What are you doing here?"
"Sent here to pick you up by Codatorta, you failed to cover up your tracks and... you caught a Taur. Congrats."
"...Thanks?" The bespectacled guy replied, unsure if this was a real compliment or me being sarcastic.
"Now, you should get back to Red Fountain with the beast, while I take care of these three and-"
"Nothing else to say?" Stella asked, arms crossed by her chest.
I frowned. "...Hello?"
"I think Stella meant 'are you not going to say anything to Bloom?'" Techna remarked and I frowned a bit more.
"...Hello again?" Then I tensed up as I realized what they were saying. "Oh no, I am not here for her. I was just sent to pick up the students since I was near and available. I just finished a mission, I technically had nothing told about keeping an eye on you today."
The redhead nodded, clearly unfazed by this but her friends looked annoyed by this. I think they were doing something- and that something wasn't something I liked. So, I ignored it for the time being with the self-promise of plotting a way out of that potential issue.
"And with that said, I have these three to bring to Cloud Tower so... see you all later."
I opened a portal and left, having told the ship I used to bring me there to return to base.
Ah yes, Auto-Pilot was truly amazing.
Also, the Headmistress was a bit irked by this sketch coming back from a quick grave, but she focused on the girls and she mentioned something about 'setting them up for something fitting with their last stunt'. I didn't bother around to listen to what it was, preferring to go back to sleep and prepare for Codatorta's lecture on when I can and cannot use the Power Suit.
At least I had some fun with it...

What happen when you give bullshit techno-magic to someone with an absurd amount of multiverse lore? Lots of fun stuff. And yes, terrible stuff too.
