The magical girl who takes the brunt of the damage, which then causes her teammates to lock-in and go psycho on their target.

I'm surprised there isn't already an age gap story with this premise.

I haven't cared about the Mahou shoujo genre for a very long time now and that little twist on it would 100% get me back on board.

Yeah, those boots could use a line or two to indicate toes. Also find it interesting that while the dresses seem pretty distinct while keeping a similar theme, they all look to have pretty much the same staff just in different colours. Well, the heads could be different but really the fact they all have staves of the same dimensions feels too samey. Mix it up a little!
Besides that, the snippet of plot seems like an oldie but a goodie for this sort of thing: Main character tries to do too much or take too much burden upon themselves and learns a very special lesson about relying on their friends. Well that and the girls putting aside petty rivalries to lay the smackdown on whatever villain roughed up their beloved leader-chan.

So do the others just think she goes to another school or something?

^ But what if her office job is non-teaching staff (prolly secretary) at the same school? Mahou Shoujo needs those secret identity hijinx.

OL magical girl: tank the attacks to protect the young girls
The young girls: Pink is so cool.
Also the young girls: You monsters dare to hurt our Pink. So you have chosen... death.

Love the premise. I can totally see the Monster of the Week being a fairly routine nuisance to the team, and the younger lasses getting all "We've got to keep hope alive!" dramatic about it... meanwhile the forged-in-fire OL is like, "bitch, I have a deadline" and just nonchalantly keeps working the problem.
And now I have a mental image of Aika from "Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want To Be A Magical Girl" crossing over with the team... she handles a problem with Incredible Violence, such that all the young girls are shocked and horrified... meanwhile the OL is putting a post-it note on her magical scepter...
Maybe I just want to see some expectations to be subverted and tropes twisted, and this concept is fertile ground.
