Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 85 Shirou's Summoning of Heroic Spirits (1! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe automatically!)
83. “The st Century Full of Heroic Spirits” I will definitely be a Heroic Pokémon Master!
——Time begins to speed up

In this fairy-tale story, the chosen children fought in a war game that no one knew about, but no one died and even the Demon King was redeemed.
The children began to grow up, and the celestial world began to progress.
Thus, ten years passed.
1994 → 2004
Shirou turned seventeen, and welcomed the day when his destiny was supposed to arrive.

During these ten years——

Because Renis and Weber got the information about "computer magic" and knew in advance that Weber would become the best teacher of the Magicians Association, they consciously opened the El-Melloi Classroom and recruited talents to develop computer magic together and revive the El-Melloi School.
Because "computer magic" points to future possibilities, in most of the currently known fate world lines, computer magic will become the basic core of the "future world" - in a sense, it is destined that science will inevitably change traditional mysterious concepts and then subvert the world.

Traditional families that cannot keep up with the trend of the times will be left behind - of course, more of them are large families that already have a lot of resources. In the past, they promoted traditions to protect their own interests. Naturally, they will continue to protect their own interests and take the lead in riding on the bandwagon of computer magic.
Just as: the astrologers of the Animusphia family, who have always been considered the 'most traditional and conservative magician family', were one of the first to use 'nuclear physics in scientific concepts' as a pioneer in constructing and developing new 'nuclear magic'.

In short, in the celestial world, the El-Melloi School headed by Reinis and Weber, although failed to recover the "Three Basics Magic Furnace", obtained a ticket to open and lead the new era of magic in the future.

As an ally in saving the world, Shirou can naturally also be at the forefront of the times.

[Then! Add the judgment related to "era appearance"! ]

[How did computer magic develop in the decade from 1994 to 2004? ]

[1D100 judgment]

[If the output is ≥75, the development of 'computer magic' has reached the level of 'spiritual magic']

[In other words, the magician system of the new era has been promoted. Most traditional magic systems will be destroyed in terms of "speed of use", "energy conversion efficiency", "power scale", etc. if they are not combined with the spirit particle magic system. In addition to the "talent as a magician", the magician's talent judgment will have an additional "spirit particle magic adaptability" judgment.]

[Although spirit particle magic is a magic system of the future, it is essentially not contradictory to the traditional system (except for special cases), but can complement each other. If you use magic based on the spirit particle base of the network sea, you will get all-round enhancement (the side effect is that the network sea itself will continue to grow, and while it can continuously provide stronger assistance to spirit particle magicians, it may lose control itself)]

[If the score is ≥90, the spirit particle magicians have been fully deployed. There is no distinction between the outer world and the inner world in the world. All mankind has known the existence of the magician world. The spirit particle magicians will be given a new title, "spirit particle hackers". People who can use spirit particle magic by using the network sea will become common (the side effect is that the network sea will continue to grow exponentially)]

[The 'development' of spirit particle magic in the past ten years: 1D100=100()]

The world has changed dramatically in the past ten years.

It’s better to say that the changes are too drastic!

After Lanis and Webber returned to the London Magicians Guild - Clock Tower.

They brought with them more than just information about computer magic.

There is also the list of talents for the future "El-Melloi Classroom" that Reinis asked Kirshtalia for during the previous battle.

With this, Lanis was able to find these talents in the world line of the celestial world in advance and establish connections with them in advance.

This list is not only a list of talents, but also a list of problematic children in the Clock Tower, a 'magician education institution'.

The so-called magician's problem. Many times, it depends on the "amount of human nature".

A magician who is too humane is often considered to have a talent flaw.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, the Clock Tower has begun to open its doors to magicians of civilian origin. Many of these magicians, who lack traditional influence, have this defect.

Even if one has talent, it is difficult to make a name for oneself in magic research due to discrimination, lack of funds, inability to obtain investment, etc.

In the eyes of Lanis, who had obtained a guide to the future, these people were a natural treasure trove!

Lanis herself was only four years old. Even though she had matured due to the physical adjustments and elite education she had received as a magician, she was still too young to be humane and had not yet been "marinated" by the traditional magician education.

Rather, even if there had not been all these accidents, a normally grown-up Lanis would have been an unusual (and humane) type of magician.

Shirou and Rin will of course support Lannis's strategy in the magician world.

They had only one request: to take this opportunity to find a way to completely solve the "Beast of Truth, Goodness and Beauty" from a magical perspective.

Lanis of course approved of this: "What are you talking about? Don't be so formal. Shirou, Rin, and Sakura, 'we' are the heroes who are saving the world together!"

She emphasized the word 'we'.

Finding a way to completely defeat the 'beast of truth, goodness and beauty' can actually be understood as 'finding a way to improve people's livelihood at the level of all mankind'.

Although Toosaka Rin doubted whether Lanis really cared about such things.

But in order to maintain the "companionship" with Shirou, while working together to develop, she will also pay attention to this aspect, right?
——But something happened that no one expected

Not only Shirou, but even the leader, Lanis, didn't expect this.

The development of computer magic was going smoothly, too smoothly. With the help of many future talents recruited in advance, the El-Melloi School began to flourish.

Weber believes that "the foundation of computer magic is the 'Internet spirit', that is, 'the dissemination, sharing and efficient use of information'."

The El-Melloi Classroom was built on this basis.
It is not a simple teaching organization in the traditional sense, but an academic alliance based on the relationship between teachers, students and classmates.

The temporary goal is to overthrow the Clock Tower and become the new generation of magicians association in the future.

"Isn't this just academic cliques?" Although I had such concerns at the beginning.

But because they are all young and energetic people, at least in these short ten years, everything is developing rapidly in a good direction and is far from the stage of decay.

Then it exploded.

It's not that the organization 'El-Melloi Classroom' exploded.

But the whole world exploded!

While the mysterious world of computer magic has developed rapidly, the surface world's Internet technology has also developed rapidly in this decade.

The connection between the mysterious world and the surface world is actually much greater than many people imagine.

After all, magic research requires funds, and if you need funds, you need to make money, and if you want to make money, you naturally cannot do without the huge market of the surface world.

In the normal development history of the Type-Moon world.

It should be the overly rapid development of Internet technology in the surface world, which in turn led to the emergence and development of computer magic in the mysterious world.

But in the celestial world, this cause and effect relationship is reversed because of the future intelligence obtained in advance.

For the development of the organization, El-Melloi Classroom has gathered a large number of energetic young people who want to do great things. If they want to do great things, they must make money.

In order to make money, it is natural to transform new technologies into commodities and sell them in the real world.

In principle, the direct sale of mysterious goods in the surface world will be suppressed by the association.

But the products of computer magic are too deceptive. These things, both in appearance and in reality, are too 'scientific' - or should be said to be very 'science fiction'.

There is no shortage of business talent among the talents in the El-Melloi classroom.

By doing so, they became a cutting-edge capital chaebol group and easily solved their debt problems. At the same time, they unknowingly accelerated the development of technology in the surface world!
How far has it developed?
Ordinary people in the celestial world could play card games with holographic projection before 2000!
Before 2000, portable holographic projection technology machines had become available in ordinary people's homes.

Why a game?

There is some personal opinion of the monarch El-Melloi II, that is, Waver, in this.

But the main reason is that among the talents in El-Melloi's classroom, there are unexpectedly many people who have this hobby - maybe they were all led astray by Waver.

Or maybe it could be said that a magician is someone who naturally possesses the attributes of a "scientist" and a "nerd".

Although it's hard to say whether this can be considered a 'real business', Professor El-Melloi has indeed made a lot of money from this - whether it's selling games or electronic equipment.

Of course, they also have serious organizational goals.

In order to enhance the cohesion of the organization, Weber proposed a research topic for everyone:

"Perfect and develop computer magic into 'spirit magic', and then together we can - 'create the world'!"

"In the virtual world of data and information, create a new world!"

"This is the common research topic of our El-Melloi classroom!"

When Shirou and Sakura heard this statement for the first time, they actually felt that this topic was full of flaws.

Ying directly complained: "The celestial world we live in is a world created by Chaldea based on spirit particle magic. Then, as the natives of this world, we have to create another world like it? What kind of Russian nesting doll is this?"

Shirou expressed his concern: "Will this cause problems?"

"If there are no problems, can it still be called magic research?" Lin was very open-minded about this. "After all, we still have to make progress. If we don't continue to study, how can we know where the problem is?"

Weber also has his own opinion: "We have gathered so many talents to conduct research in this area, and we are actually looking for a way to connect with the Chaldean world."

Makes sense.

After all, Shirou himself is not a good researcher, and Toosaka Rin is very supportive of this research. She thinks that "this is also a research topic for 'interference in parallel worlds', right?"

Shirou didn't say anything else.

At least Lanis did not forget the promise of the covenant. Relying on the research of computer magic, the development of electronic technology in the surface world began to accelerate. The whole world was progressing. By 1999, personal smart phone terminals had become popular.

The world was connected early on by the powerful Internet, and science and mystery were popularized - naturally, even if the mystery of the new era, the 'Internet' (computer magic), was brought into everyone's home, the 'Internet' itself did not become invalid due to the 'mystery concealment principle'.

Then everything 'exploded' in 2000, at the turn of the second millennium.

El-Melloi Classroom successfully advanced 'computer magic' to the level of 'spiritual magic'.

Taking this opportunity, they officially began to apply to establish a new discipline in the Magicians Association, and the result they came up with was 'Creating the World'.

They created a small virtual world, which was a near-perfect replica of Fuyuki City—except that there was no life in it for the time being.

This is a groundbreaking achievement!

Because they even replicated the spiritual veins of Fuyuki City!

what does this mean?
Using magic and conducting magic research requires a lot of territory.

Magicians need to draw on the energy of the spiritual veins in their territory to conduct research on various large-scale projects. Otherwise, it is impossible to carry out magic research on large-scale projects by relying on personal magic power.

Therefore, traditional famous magic families are also large landowners.

The Little Fuyuki City in the 'virtual world' created by the El-Melloi Classroom has spiritual veins. Magicians who want to conduct magic research can call on the spiritual vein energy of the 'virtual world' for power supply!
Why is this possible?

El-Melloi Classroom revealed the principle behind this:
"With the massive amount of data and 'information' being generated every day and every moment, when the Internet technology becomes popular, everyone is equivalent to transcending time and space and living together in a 'virtual world that neither exists nor exists'.

If I describe it this way, I'm sure many people will realize it, right?

That's right! The Internet world - I call it 'the sea of data'!
Its characteristics are naturally similar to the Sea of Imaginary Numbers! We created the Sea of Data, nurtured it and made it grow, and then connected the Sea of Data with the Sea of Imaginary Numbers.

The Sea of Imaginary Numbers itself has the property of transcending time and space

Across time, space, and time and space - through this, we have acquired the technology to extract infinite energy from infinite parallel worlds!"

Second Method: Parallel World Interference

Of course, spirit particle magic cannot be considered as the second method, it can only be regarded as "magic level magic".

After all, the caster does not really have direct control over the energy utilization of the infinite parallel worlds, but only indirectly obtains energy through the Sea of Imaginary Numbers, a subspace world that does exist.

Naturally, Toosaka Rin was also involved in this great epoch-making achievement.

After all, the Tousaka family is a disciple of the second magician, Jewel, and Jewel gave the Tousaka family a research topic, the "Jewel Sword", the effect of which is to use the great source magic power of infinitely parallel parallel worlds.

Mr. Baoshi left the design drawings to the Tousaka family. In the past few hundred years, the Tousaka family has not made any progress on this topic and has always been in the stage of "preparing to start research."

But in Toosaka Rin's generation, a turning point occurred because of the appearance of Shirou.

Gem Sword. Also a sword!
The reason why this thing was designed as a 'sword' may be that it is somehow connected to Shirou.

With the help of Shirou's projection magic, although Toosaka Rin still failed to create a real and complete gem sword, she gained an understanding of the theoretical principles behind it.

With the help of this understanding, and the joint efforts of countless talents of Professor El-Melloi, the results of the 'Sea of Data' emerged!
——But this is not the reason why the whole world 'exploded'.

Rather, it is a 'byproduct' that was born by chance when 'Sea of Data' emerged successfully.

Among Weber's students, among the many young geniuses, there is also a young man with a talent that can be called a 'genius' - Flat Escaldes. During this process, he suddenly said, "I have a good idea!"

"Let's make a game! Let's make a game that allows everyone to 'log in' to enter a virtual world, connect with the five sense nerve signals, and then log in to play the game as if they were in the real world!"

Flatt has always been considered a problem child among problem children.

He was born into an ancient and famous family, but at the same time he was born, he almost destroyed his own family.

Why do you say that?
As we all know, traditional famous magicians often delve into a certain subject and then "reach the root" through this subject.

One generation cannot complete the research, so it must be passed on to the next generation, and generations will continue to research until the day of success arrives.

Flatt's family dedicated 1800 years to this—

Then, the moment Flatt was born, the family's research lost its meaning.

Because of the research content of the Flatt family, Flatt was "born in a completed state".

Flatt was born with the ability to 'see the root' with his naked eyes, directly through vision.

But this was not something the Flatts did; it was simply a coincidence, a natural variation that made a mockery of the research of the 1800s.

Because of this ability, Flat can "develop and use magic at will" - he can be said to be the strongest "chaos magician" born.

Or should we say 'Chaos Magician'?
Ironically, due to this innate talent, Flatt found it difficult to learn like an ordinary magician. Using and studying magic was as natural to Flatt as breathing. He was not good at the Clock Tower exams. The content of his research on magic, when written down, was no different from messy prose, so he became a 'bad student'.

But after joining the El-Melloi classroom, his talents as a 'poor student' were recognized - and the key was that he had a lot of fun.

“It’s so fun to play magic with everyone!”

It was Flatt who came up with this idea in 2000.

No one took it too seriously at first.

I just thought, "Is there any new game production plan?", "It feels like I can make a lot of money", and didn't treat it as a serious academic research topic, but rather as a commercial topic.

During the game development process, the most heated arguments among the students in El-Melloi's classroom had nothing to do with magic research.

What they were arguing about was "what kind of world view should be used for the first virtual game world created."

Specifically,

"Do DND! Do Dungeons and Dragons!"

“Why can’t it be COC?”

"As for the fantasy world, can we get the copyright for The Lord of the Rings?"

"SF's sci-fi worldview is also good! How about Dune?"

“Let’s build the Hogwarts from Harry Potter!”

"A real man should drive a Gundam! How about setting the core gameplay to be free design of Gundams and battles? Or create a big world and separate the Federation and the Empire to fight each other?"

Everyone was arguing over their own preferences.

It was a place full of vitality and everything was flourishing.

The matter finally came to Weber's attention.

Weber gave me some advice after listening to him: "Build a fantasy world game from scratch? Can you do it for the first time? There are too many things related to the world view to deal with. You should just copy the existing homework first."

"What does it mean to copy existing homework?" the students asked.

Weber, who was working on a research paper on the 'Sea of Data' at the time, casually said, "Isn't that the real world?"

This one sentence changed the whole world.

Led by Flatt, a group of enthusiastic young people spent a year mapping most of the Earth's regions, and then filled them with numerous simple intelligent NPCs.

Players who enter the game can play any role in this virtual world and explore various secrets in the open world.

You can be a normal person.

You can also change your job to become a magician after finding the 'mysterious world hidden beneath the surface world'! Learn magic, research magic, or even create your own magic!

Now that we have a worldview, we need the existence of 'enemies'.

Taking into account various troublesome issues that may arise in reality, Flatt and others incorporated various magician organizations in reality into the game, but they also made magical changes and adjustments to various details.

The most important design is the addition of a 'public enemy of the player camp' - that is, the existence of various 'wild monsters' and 'BOSSes'.

Who to choose?
Because vampire novels were popular in London at that time.

So the students held a meeting and decided: let the 'vampires' - let the 'Dead Apostles' be the wild monsters!

Flatt designed the game world view that he designed as "a world that is very similar to the real world, but with certain historical nodes that are different, resulting in the Dead Apostles being extremely powerful."

The most powerful 'World Boss' is called the 'Twenty-seven Ancestors of the Dead Apostles' by the organizations that players can choose in the game (Magicians Association, the Cathedral Church, the Spiral Pavilion, etc.)!
The main gameplay for players is centered around 'hunting dead apostles' and 'developing the power of hunting dead apostles'.

Now we have the world view and gameplay! The next step is to make it!
So, that's it.

In 2000.

When Weber successfully completed and published the paper "Sea of Data".

The virtual reality game created by his students - "Tsukihime", a life simulation + a game where everyone fights dead apostles together, is now available worldwide!

Where had people in 2000 ever seen such a game?
It was naturally very popular, and both the sale of games and various related gaming equipment made El-Melloi Classroom earn a lot of money.

Even Shirou, who had never been very interested in games, logged into the game. He was also a member of the El-Melloi classroom, and his classmates naturally had prepared an exclusive account for him.

Flatt smiled and gave Shirou his exclusive account. "After logging into the game, your character's performance will be a perfect replica of the real one! You should kill more Dead Apostles so that I can collect data for improving the game."

Shirou didn't realize the pitfall of this statement at that time!

What does it mean that "the performance of the game character perfectly replicates the real person"?
Flatt, how did you do this?

But at that time, because everyone just regarded this as a game to make money, the key attention was on the publication of the "Sea of Data" paper, and no one noticed the problem.

When the game became a global hit and even became a part of most people's lives, and almost all humans had their own "identity in the virtual world", everything was irreversible. One day at the end of 2000, when Shirou was practicing "human magnetism" in Fuyuki Church, he found a low-level Dead Apostle monster refreshed. After killing it, Shirou watched the other party turn into a ball of data and exploded and dissipated.
Shirou was stunned.

“When did I log into the game?”

Shirou subconsciously wanted to call up the system menu and exit the game - but nothing happened.

It wasn't that Shirou was trapped in the game world.

Instead, the game invaded reality!
In the next very short period of time, the whole world became a mess!

It's not just because Dead Apostles and Fantasy creatures began to appear inexplicably in the real world, more importantly, many people who were just ordinary people in the real world and were magicians in the game were actually able to successfully use magic in real life!

The whole world is in chaos.

El-Melloi Classroom had indeed considered how to break down the barriers between the mysterious world and the surface world. After all, spirit particle magic was destined to become popular, and it was a magic that could not be blocked and did not need to be hidden.

The basic essence of spirit particle magic is the interaction of high-density data information, so the more people use it and the more people know about it, the more frequent the interaction of data information will be, and the more powerful it will become.

But Weber had never imagined that this barrier would be so violently broken, with serious side effects, by the "game" that his students had created to make money!
More and more people mastered magic, and based on the original guild organizations in the game, various large and small magic societies began to appear.

It’s not that Weber didn’t want to rescue him.

Everyone thought, "Flat, are you doing this again?!" After beating up the confused Flat, Weber resolutely shut down all the game server hosts.

Then they were even more dumbfounded.

Even if the server host is shut down, even if there is a physical power outage or network outage, the Internet still exists, and the global Internet is still operating normally.

The damn game is working just fine too!!!

"FUCK!" Weber, as a professor, couldn't help but swear in front of everyone. "The game you made has itself formed a 'sea of data'! It is connected to the sea of imaginary numbers and can extract energy from infinite parallel worlds. After it begins to assimilate with reality,

Those unconventional new generation magicians who have mastered magic in the game world. These 'spirit hackers', like us spirit magicians, can use magic by using the magic power of the sea of data!

And the more people use it! Whether it is fighting, thinking, or communicating with others, the interaction of data information will continue to increase, and the accumulation of data will continue to increase!

The ocean of data will continue to grow!"

Waver led his students in a final effort: that is, to find a way to delete all kinds of "wild monsters" in the game, such as the Dead Apostles, the Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, the True Ancestors, the Fantasy Species, the Yokai, the Warcraft, etc.

but failed.

The "sea of data" of this game has been freed from the constraints of the server and has become independent through the Internet.

"Flat, are you really not causing trouble on purpose?" Weber stared at his student.

Flatt rarely raised his hands in surrender to express his apology and confusion!

"Professor! I swear I definitely didn't mean to play a prank this time! Spirit particle magic is new to me, I was just playing a game! Besides, even for me, it's impossible to do something of this scale without making any noise beforehand!"

".You are right."

Waver was silent for a whole day that day. After his hair turned a lot whiter, he finally came up with the answer:

".This is the inevitable result of our research and promotion of computer magic. In order to conduct research, we must make money by developing and promoting the Internet. The application of the Internet makes cross-space communication for all mankind simple, and various data are uploaded and recorded on the Internet.

These overly large and ever-increasing data flows eventually produced a qualitative change.

The game you made is just an opportunity to bring forward the day that will come sooner or later."

How to clean up this mess?
The good news is that, although a large number of "magicians", "ninjas", "martial artists" and "sorcerers" suddenly appeared all over the world, human beings did not immediately start large-scale wars or start to conquer each other (except in areas that were already at war).

Because - Dead Apostles

More and more powerful Dead Apostles began to be born and appear in the real world.

All magicians who played "Tsukihime" realized one thing.

"Shit! What if the 'Twenty-Seventh Ancestor of the Dead Apostles' also appears in the real world someday? There are so many mythical monsters and fantasy species. The mere appearance of many of them is a world-destroying disaster!"

In order to survive, the major powers had to unite.

After proving that "this was all an accident" and "even without our game, as long as the Internet continues to develop, digital life forms will appear in the real world sooner or later!", since the people in El-Melloi's classroom are rare professional spirit particle magicians, they were not treated as war criminals.

Of course, the most important reason here is that many people in the El-Melloi classroom are regarded as 'pioneers' or even 'prophets'.

If they hadn't opened it to the public, countless ordinary people would have been kept in the dark, and countless ordinary people would not have been able to obtain the mysterious power.

the most important is!

The expansion and loss of control of the sea of data led to the emergence of various "Digimon", but it also solved many problems that human society had previously faced.

Because of the infinite magic of the ocean of data, all mankind has obtained open source infinite energy, which directly solves the daily life consumption problems of all mankind in one go.

More people benefit from this process.

After that, another four years passed.

When the time came to 2004——

The world has adapted to the new rules.

Although the principle is unclear and no one has figured it out yet, as the sea of data erodes reality more and more seriously, the sea level is rising.

Some spirit hackers believe that this is because many "secret realms" have appeared in the deep sea.

The so-called secret realm refers to the 'data space' that appears in reality due to unknown reasons.

Sea level rises, land decreases -

But the living space of human beings has not been suddenly compressed as a result.

The reason is also related to the fact that the world itself is highly digitized.

Spirit hackers can redefine the size of space by interfering with the data level.

For example, something may look like an ordinary house from the outside, but the space inside may be a castle.

By 2004, the construction of houses had become less and less concerned with 'appearance', as interior space could be used extremely efficiently.

The appearance of many cities has now become a mess of "overlays of large blocks".

Or it could be the accumulation of various inexplicable, bizarre, illegal buildings.

From a distance, the city looks like a large mosaic.

These cities that have adapted to the highly information-based world are called "Mosaic Cities".

The interior of the Mosaic City is like a sky tower or underground floors with countless floors.

This floor may be a sci-fi futuristic style.

Next time it might just be a medieval street.

What the living environment looks like depends on the designer's personal preferences.

Because of this, even if the sea level rises, human survival is not threatened.

The real threat to human survival, and even the reason why humans are forced to unite unprecedentedly to form a real "alliance", are the Super Dead Apostles and Super Fantasy Species.

Especially in the sea or high in the sky - as well as various secret places on other planets, they have become a paradise for the Titans to roam.

The giant beasts are easier to deal with, as most of them have their own ecosystems and will not intentionally threaten the human living environment.

But the Dead Apostles are different. Most of these creatures are born with a strong hatred for humans.

There are also many illegal lepton hackers among humans who commit crimes.

Fortunately, everything reached a turning point in 2004.

In 2004, the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki - naturally did not break out.

Fuyuki City has disappeared, physically vanished beneath the ocean, and the Holy Grail system was dismantled as early as 1994.

Today, Shirou's family has moved to the mosaic city 'Akihabara'.

Shirou himself runs a blacksmith shop openly.

Because the products are so excellent, it has become known as the "dream craftsman's house" in urban legends.

17-year-old Shirou is about to start a new life today.

He is going to start his 'internship' at work.

His job is to be a guard.

Kiritsugu Emiya is not living with Shirou at this time. His current job is Interpol and secret investigator, and he is often on business trips.

Shirou, on the other hand, was studying with the goal of becoming a 'guard'.

The "guard" of this era is different from the traditional jobs such as "police" and "security".

The official name should be "Master".

Because the title "Master" is ambiguous, it was changed to "Guard".

The job of the guards is to hunt down various "digital life forms" that appear in the real world, to punish illegal and criminal spirit hackers, and to maintain social order.

In fact, there are bounty hunters who do similar work. The difference between guards and bounty hunters is that guards have formal national status.

The reason why Shirou did not choose to be a bounty hunter but chose to be a guard was because in the current year of 2004, guards would be assigned special "techniques for using against digital life forms".

After four years of research, humans finally developed a technique specifically designed to protect human civilization and fight against the Dead Apostles.

full name--

"Digital Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique: El-Melloi Style"

It was modified based on the Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique of Fuyuki City.

It was only recently that it finally stabilized and became usable in actual combat.

This is different from the Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique that Shirou is familiar with.

The situation of the Digital Heroic Spirit is very special.

The same Heroic Spirit can be summoned by the same person, but the results of the summons are often very different.

This difference is not just as simple as "the same Heroic Spirit is summoned in different ages".

Take 'Joan of Arc' for example.

The summoned Joan of Arc could be the ordinary Joan of Arc, the witch Joan of Arc, the vampire Joan of Arc, the magical girl Joan of Arc, the Kamen Rider Joan of Arc, the Japanese lawyer Joan of Arc - it could even be a male Joan of Arc!

It's not that the El-Melloi School didn't try to replicate the original Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique, but for some reason, they were unable to do so.

In the end, all we could do was add "XX type" in front of the names of various heroic spirits.

There are 'normal Jeanne d'Arc', 'demonized Jeanne d'Arc', 'vampire Jeanne d'Arc', 'magical girl Jeanne d'Arc', and 'Ace Attorney Jeanne d'Arc'.

Although these summoned digital Heroic Spirits also have job settings, compared to real Heroic Spirit Servants, they do not have complete "self-awareness". Many of them can only have simple conversations, but their memories are very confusing and vague.

It’s not quite right to call him a shadow servant.

Weber believes that "these digital heroes are, at their core, 'data records of the hero' in the sea of data - and these data records, in addition to history, because our world is highly digitized, many modern secondary creation novels based on them have also been added to them."

Shinji interrupted and explained to Shirou: "This situation is simply that the data model is polluted."

all in all.

The Alliance is currently unclear as to whether the summoned Digital Heroic Spirits are the Heroic Spirits on the Throne of Heroes - in essence, they may be similar to those Digimon Dead Apostles.

The only difference is that the Dead Apostles hate and hunt humans, while they protect human civilization.

After all, among magicians, except for a few with super combat power, most other ordinary people, even if they become spirit particle hackers, their own strength is still limited, and their growth rate is very slow, making it difficult for them to keep up with the pace of monsters.

The Alliance plans to continue simplifying and transforming the 'Digital Heroic Spirit Summoning Technique' in the next few years, and promote this technology to all mankind - so that from now on, everyone will get their own 'Digital Heroic Spirit Partner' at birth.

Why do this? Aren't there risks?
Waver explained to Shirou: "This is my suggestion, because our careful analysis shows that even if we try to block the technology, in this era of high data informationization, the leakage of technology is inevitable.

In this case, why don't we promote it from the beginning, and let the alliance clearly manage the Masters from the beginning, and make it clear that "only the Masters registered with the alliance are regular and legal Masters."

If all goes well, we'll gain the power to protect us against those ever-evolving monsters!
The alliance may have to be officially named the 'Alliance of Heroic Spirits'. The next era will be the coexistence of humans and heroic spirits. Perhaps one day, all humans can become heroic spirits?"

Weber smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Humans who have adapted to a highly digitized world are fundamentally different from humans in the past.

For example, there is no birth, aging, sickness and death.

Even if you are injured, you can recover by simply filling in the data. If you are sick, it means you have a virus.

Appearance has also become freely adjustable, and many people have frozen their appearance forever at their youngest and most energetic period.

"If it can be promoted, we plan to hold a special 'Heroic Master League' to emphasize the identity of the 'regular Master'. In different regions, we will select their own 'Champion Masters'. They will be the representatives of the regular Masters, gain glory and wealth, and be the symbol of the order of the alliance. Of course, that's all for later."

Waver sighed: "In short, Shirou, I hope that you, the first 'chosen children', can become the first pioneers, summon and train your own 'Digital Heroic Spirits' partners, and set a good example.
Alas, I don’t know when we can get back in touch with Chaldea.”

all in all--

2004

Shirou Emiya, 17 years old.

Toosaka Rin, 17 years old.

Emiya Sakura, 16 years old.

The three of them will serve as the first batch of 'Digital Heroic Training Match' and summon their own 'Digital Heroic'!
"Full, full, full, full, full, full
Repeat the cycle and then the next is five

But when it is full, it is also the time to abandon

Its foundation is silver and iron, its foundation is the stone of the Grand Duke of the Covenant, whose ancestor is my teacher Shubaiin Ogu

When the wind comes from the sky, the wall will block it, and the doors on all four sides will be closed.

It comes out from the crown and goes back and forth at the three-way intersection leading to the kingdom.

——Declaration

You are at my command, my fate depends on your sword!
If you follow this morality and principle, please respond to me!
Hereby declare,

I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world

I am the source of all evil in the world

Come from the wheel of restraint!
——Guardian of Libra!"

The light of data flickered, and the information in the sea of data responded to the ceremony. Countless data were extracted from it and condensed into shape!
The figure that appeared was——

[Shirou begins to summon his own 'Digi-Heroic Spirit', specifically——]

[1. Altria Lily]

[2. Altria]

[3. Altria Alter]

【1D10=7】

Shirou originally thought that, considering the fate of the great battle ten years ago, perhaps it would be Vritra who would appear.

But what actually appeared was a girl with long platinum hair, who had a gloomy face, looked silent and speechless.

She didn't even say the classic lines of the Heroic Spirit to complete the contract!
"Aren't you going to say something?" Shirou couldn't help but ask the girl.

The seemingly eccentric and unkind girl asked back: "What do you want me to say?"

Shirou: "'May I ask, are you my Master?'"

Without hesitation, the girl gave a sly smile that was totally unlike King Arthur's: "Yes, that's right, since you said so, then I am your Master."

Shirou: "."

Altria Alter of the Fairy Kingdom began to look around: "My servant, is there any food?"

What's wrong with this guy!? Is it because his job is Berserker?
Artoria——is the Knight King, right?
How come there is such a strange subspecies of Knight King?!
