Looking through the sheet, all the stats felt pretty self-explanatory although her race being Witch and not Human felt a bit odd.
Biologically Witches weren't all that different from Humans. The largest difference is their Mana Zone. An upgraded version of the Mana core that normal humans have, an invisible organ that stores, purifies and pushes mana through the body.
The only difference between a Mana Core and a Mana Zone was the capacity and efficiency.
Personally, Lucy didn't think that a singular organ that was just an upgrade should be enough for her kind to be considered a wholly separate race but it wasn't all that important.
Next were her skills and magic.
'Martial Arts?'
Thinking the name of the skill brought up an information panel.

'No.' She thought.
Well, she found the reason why she knew how to use a Bo staff.
Sentinel's Source was similar in that it was a fusion skill. whatever that meant.

Now this was interesting. Despite many Magical Sentinels being public icons or influencers, not much is actually known about how their abilities work. On top of that, despite them being in public so much, rarely are their true identities ever found out.
This book's true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience.
'Yes.'

'Fascinating. So they really do gain power with friendship... Oh god, I need to make friends.'
Lucy didn't fancy herself an introvert or think she was bad at talking to people but she was a very specific kind of nerd and didn't have all that many interests outside of talking about Magical Girls.
Eh, she'll figure something out eventually.
As for the last 3 of her skills, she could tell you what Regeneration and 3rd Eye did. The latter was what made her so sensitive to magic and Regeneration was in the name of the first skill.
"Does it actually know what my Silver Veins do?" Lucy mumbled to herself, mildly surprised that nobody heard her.
The principal or headmaster or whoever else was talking was quite loud so it made sense when given any amount of thought.

'Mmh. So I was correct?' Lucy frowned.
The skill was strong, very much so. The issue lied in the lack of information. Her being a descendant of Circe and inheriting her ancestors' power was one thing. It was normal among witches and her family was no different but then a weird system came out of nowhere. This just screamed Child of Prophecy to her and she really didn't like that.
'Either that or this is a very elaborate prank by someone very powerful... Who would dare try such a thing on the daughter of the Grand Witch though?'
Unfortunately, no matter how much she wanted an answer, she didn't have any way to look into such things. Such is how the world of witches usually worked. You answer one question only for 10 more difficult ones to appear.
That aside, for her magic affinities. All 3 were massive walls of text, several thousand words long each. She knew how they worked generally so she opted not to read them. If anything, she can always figure it out later.
Because of this, a briefer explanation will be given in place.
Manamancy was the usage and molding of attributeless Mana. Think Wave Motion Blasts, Basic Barriers, Mana Strings, etc. Despite how simple that is, it was easily the rarest type of magic before Sentinels were in the picture.
Since both the Clergy and Witches gained magic from the holy and demonic powers respectively, attributeless mana was extremely hard to come by in people. It’s even rarer in other disciplines of Mysticism as they tend to take Mana from nature. Then Sentinels came and all of them had access to it no matter what.
Chronomancy was the manipulation of time. It's the most Mana-hungry attribute period and that showed considering Lucy had a skill that significantly lowered her Mana costs and she still could barely use it. Aside from that, it’s what you’d expect with the exception of outright time travel.
And Electromancy was just... Lightning? It wasn’t nearly as interesting as the other elements but it’s effectiveness was nothing to scoff at. Out of the 5 common elements, it’s destructive power is the most dangerous and it’s by far the hardest to control.
Lucy did a wonderful job of showing that off by making a massive snake explode.
'I see. What about Candies and Fame though?'

That was certainly nice to know. At the very least Lucy knew that she had a method to grow stronger aside from her own training meaning she could still be proactive on days when she was resting. That was a definite upside.
However, Magical Sentinels being able to tell how much fame she had at a glance was questionable. While she had no interest in doing things that'd be considered evil, this could act as a loose indicator of strength if it works the way she imagines it does.
That being said though, this left her with one more question.
'Do all Magical Girls have this System? I'll need to ask Nell and Sora... I really hope she can regain consciousness...'
With that information gathered, Lucy decided to tone into the rest of the speech which was boring as hell.
It was just an old man talking about what they expect from students, that everyone should always try their best even if they don't succeed, to have a good year and make plenty of friends... All things, Lucy couldn't possibly care less about.
If she somehow managed to have trouble in junior high school, she'd have some serious issues related to her family.
