Lingshen Chao appears as Mahora Academy's top student, excelling academically and athletically while actively participating in research clubs like Quantum Mechanics, Robotics Engineering, Eastern Medicine, and Martial Arts. Her popular Chao Bao Zi nikuman stand generates significant wealth. This persona masks her true origin as a time traveler from a future Martian colony roughly one hundred years ahead. Her displacement aims to prevent a catastrophic future tied to the collapse of the magically constructed Mundus Magicus on Mars. Claiming descent from Negi Springfield, she suffered under anti-magic sentiment and global war in her timeline. To alter history, she orchestrates an elaborate scheme during the Mahora Festival, centered on revealing magic to humanity using the Casseopeia time machine powered by the World Tree, an army of combat robots, and eleven global ritual sites for a worldwide "Forced Recognition" spell. She manipulates events and individuals over two years. She gifts Negi a modified Casseopeia unit for limited time jumps during the festival. Later, she traps Negi and key allies in a temporal lock within Evangeline's resort, creating a window to deploy forces and activate her spell network. When confronted, she employs advanced technology, including a time-manipulating powered battlesuit and attack drones, alongside Northern Shaolin Kung Fu rivaling Ku Fei. A critical vulnerability arises when her battlesuit is destroyed, forcing reliance on a dangerous magical pattern inscribed on her body. This pattern enables potent fire-based spells but inflicts severe physical strain, risking bodily collapse. During her climactic aerial battle with Negi, he challenges her emotional detachment regarding classmate bonds. This prompts her to acknowledge the unanticipated significance of these relationships, introducing doubt into her pursuit. Following defeat, she acts selflessly, prioritizing Negi's safety over her mission to shield him from a fatal fall despite depleted energy. Her contingency planning reveals that defeating her altered the spell's effect from permanent global magic exposure to a single day of worldwide peace and unity. She subsequently returns to her original timeline as planned. Her capacity for interdimensional travel allows a later return during the series' final arc. Using technology from an alternate timeline, she assists in returning Asuna Kagurazaka to her correct temporal point, facilitating conflict resolution. Her ultimate fate in her native timeline remains unspecified.
