Chapter 312: Absolute Sword
When the swordsman heard her master's 'explicit' request, she didn't think anything strange about it for a moment.

He first thought about it and recalled his performance in the battle.

Then she replied to the man as if she suddenly understood.

"Master, by taking off my clothes and all, are you checking for any hidden injuries on my body?"

After thinking she understood the man's intention, the swordsman girl shook the ahoge on her head happily, and a rare gentle smile appeared on her face.

"I'm so lucky to have a Master like this. Although I don't have a 'good hand', I did draw a 'good hand'."

The swordsman lady first patted the haori on her body with her hands, and then gave the man some "scientific advice" in a very cheerful tone.

“Master, don’t worry about me.

“I’m a Heroic Spirit, I’m not as fragile as you guys.

"Even if you're injured in battle, as long as the spiritual core in your head or heart isn't severely damaged, you can quickly recover through [Spiritual Transformation]."

"I'm not injured, there was blood at the corner of my mouth just now."

When talking about her negative skill [Sickness] that she activated from time to time, the swordsman's tone, which had just been cheerful, lowered a little.

After hesitating for several times, he finally stammered out his negative skills.

"That skill, like a curse, was born from the rumors that I was forged into a Heroic Spirit.

“It would activate at irregular intervals, instantly making me lose most of my combat power.

"Although I don't know why the negative effects of [Weakness] have been significantly reduced this time, it probably still can't be eliminated with healing [Magic] or medicine."

After the swordsman lady told about her "flaw", she nervously tightened her haori around her and secretly looked at Fang Yi who was smiling in front of her.

It seemed as if she wanted to find out what the man was thinking after he learned about his 'flaws'.

【I am very lucky to be able to fight for him as his heroic spirit.】

【But for him who summoned me, this might be quite unfortunate.】

[Unlike him, who is an excellent master, I am a somewhat 'bad' card that may not be able to help him achieve the final victory.]

Miss Swordsman thought so.
-
Fang Yi heard the answer he expected, but he did not show any dissatisfaction or disappointment, and replied calmly.

"I see.

"so."

Looking at the man who showed no emotion after listening to his 'weakness', he just smiled at him and seemed to want to say something to comfort him.

The swordsman lady interrupted the other party and made a promise.

“However, Master, don’t worry, since I am fortunate enough to be your Servant.

"No matter how harsh the environment is, no matter how broken this body is, I will fight for you with all my might until the end.

"This is my promise."

After speaking these words to the man with absolute certainty, the swordsman lady grasped the [California Kiyomitsu] at her waist.

As fighting spirit burst out, a fierce and murderous aura emerged and surrounded his body.

The swordsman lady, who had made this fighting stance, fiercely revealed her battle strategy to Fang Yi.

“If the sword breaks, use the sheath to fight. If the sheath is broken, you still have your hands and feet to fight with.

“Even if all your limbs are broken off, you still have teeth to bite with.

"No matter what kind of enemy we face, as your Servant, I will strive to win for you.

"Even if I can't defeat it, I will make it pay a heavy price!
"so."

The swordsman lady, emitting a strong fighting spirit, continued to express her feelings.

However, she didn't expect that the man just ignored the other party's "power" and walked to her side leisurely.

He stretched out his hands and grasped the swordsman lady's shoulders, and said with great appreciation.

“Yes, very spirited.

“But let’s not talk about that now.

"Take off your haori first."
-
After hearing the man's words, the swordsman lady's handsome and determined expression disappeared, and her little face was instantly filled with great confusion.

The swordsman lady quickly thought of something, and her cheeks instantly turned red like a crab that had been steamed in a pot for several minutes.

She lowered her head and responded in a low voice, somewhat timidly.

"Master, isn't this a bit too hasty?

"Replenishing magic or something like that shouldn't be able to cure [weakness]."

Fang Yi patted the swordsman lady's shoulder, who had already misunderstood, and said, "You are getting more demanding."

"Not only the haori, but other clothing including socks should also be taken off and changed."

The swordsman lady's pupils shrank, and her face was full of shock.

"Change everything. This is..."

Fang Yi touched the other person's haori, and after sensing that this magical garment could serve as the 'material' for completing [Truth Refining and Completion] as he had expected, he moved his hands away from the other person's body.

After searching in his personal space for a while, he took out an [Oberg Apprentice Uniform] which was distributed to apprentice assassins by the [Oberg Assassination Society]. It was of [Ordinary] quality and had no bonuses.

At the same time, he explained to the swordsman lady.

"Don't you realize that your outfit is too eye-catching?
“That old bugger obviously recognized you during the fight.

"If you don't disguise yourself, the other Masters will know your real name at a glance!

"Also, your haori gave me some inspiration, which gave me a great plan. But we'll talk about this later."

The swordsman lady was stunned at first, then she obediently took off her haori and handed it to the man, while telling him the questions in her heart.

"Eh? You want me to change into a haori?

“Will he be recognized?

"Am I really that famous?"
-
Fang Yi nodded and didn't answer.

He took out a gold bar and placed the magic-woven haori and the [Ordinary] [Oberg Apprentice's Uniform] on the table.

Then he activated [Truth Refining and Completion] somewhat extravagantly.

After a while, after paying for several gems rated as [Excellent] that were collected from Zouken Matou's magic workshop and completing the [Repair], the swordsman lady's clothing had been transformed into a piece of equipment.

He also took out two pieces of clothing that he had obtained in the previous world. They were quite gorgeous, but the grade was only [Ordinary] and had no benefits.

I used the [Three-in-One] in the [Nameless Alchemist's Gauntlets] for synthesis after a long time.

In just a moment, a piece of fabric that 'inherited' the sweat-absorbing and windproof properties of the [Oberg Apprentice Uniform] appeared, modeled after the other person's haori.

But the clothing styles have become more modern, and coats with bright and gorgeous appearances have been newly released.

This is a piece of "junk equipment" of [excellent] quality with no additional effects except for its very powerful appearance, and three junk attributes: [Infuse magic power for infinite recovery], [Slightly reduce your presence, making it harder for the enemy to detect], and [Keep warm].

But Fang Yi handed the "junk equipment" that was as gorgeous as cherry blossoms to the swordsman lady.

When he said, "This is a gift for you," he saw the swordsman's eyes sparkling.

It was obvious that Miss Swordsman liked this gift very much.

At the same time, the reminder sound of the reincarnation space rang in his ears.

[Your Servant and your [Bond Level] have been raised to [LV5]. Affected by [Module Limit Breaker] and an unknown cause and condition, the Servant's combat power has been slightly increased.]

[The quest [Breaking Limits: The Ultimate Sword] has met all triggering conditions. Please challenge your Servant to a sword duel to trigger the quest.]

When Fang Yi saw the bond level of [lv5], he couldn't help but complain secretly.

[Is it like a certain game, where [lv10] can get a bond gift set, and after [lv10], coins and Saint Quartz are given?]
-
Miss Swordsman stared at the freshly made clothes in the man's hand, hesitant. "For me?
"But if this precious and beautiful coat were damaged in battle, wouldn't the Master's kindness also be damaged?

"Master, please take it back."

Even though she asked Fang Yi to take back the [equipment], Miss Swordsman's body was still very "honest".

After several attempts, he took the coat.

After spending a few minutes getting dressed and familiarizing myself with the equipment.

The swordsman lady walked over to Fang Yi and turned around to show the man how well the coat fit him.

He started shouting like a child who got a desired gift.

"It's amazing! It can be restored infinitely just like my original clothes, so I don't have to worry about it being ruined.

"Master, you just used incredible magic.

"Absolutely."

After cheering, he moved closer to Fang Yi, reached out and touched the man's chest, and asked with some concern.

"No serious price was paid?"

Fang Yi simply held the swordsman lady's hand and half-jokingly showed her the gem in his hand, in which only the impurity part remained after the high-value part had been consumed.

“It’s very ‘serious’.

“However, the production cost of this dress has been fully paid by our Mr. Matou Zouken.

“I paid with the 'unwanted' gems he left at the magic workshop.

"Also, could you please manifest another original haori? It will be useful to me."
-
A few minutes later, he looked at Fang Yi, who was wearing his light green haori and holding a long sword that was 80% similar to the [California Kiyomitsu] at his waist.

An incredible thought arose in the swordsman lady's mind.

"Master, you gave me this coat and changed into this haori. Could it be..."

Fang Yi nodded and gave the answer directly.

"Yes, in the upcoming outings and battles, you will play the role of the 'weak and vulnerable' Master.

"I will play the 'powerful' Servant."

As a Heroic Spirit, I can easily display the strength I desire in battle, thereby misjudging the enemy and, to a certain extent, controlling the course of the Holy Grail War.

Seeing the swordsman lady's face full of disapproval, Fang Yi took a few steps back and drew out the [California Clear Light] from his waist. In addition to triggering the task, he was also ready to show off his skills to his servant.

"My dear swordsman, I forgot to tell you something."

Fang Yi smiled slightly, exuding his "power" for the first time in a long time, and said in a somewhat "modest" manner.

"I know a little bit about swordsmanship. Want to spar with me?"

The swordsman lady stared at Fang Yi without saying a word, but the long sword she drew revealed her thoughts.

【Then come. 】

As the two men drew their swords and faced each other, Fang Yi finally heard the mission reminder sound in his ears.

The mission [Breaking Limits·Absolute Sword I] has been triggered.
-
[Breaking Limits: Absolute Sword I]

Mission requirements:

1. Please use your sword skills to resist the servants' sudden attacks during the fight and avoid being hit by them.

2. Please show your sword skills to your opponent during the fight so that he can master the sword skills you have mastered.

Basic mission rewards:

[Reincarnation Reward: 2000 points, skill [Mastery of Swordsmanship] upgraded to [LV4].]

[Heroic Spirit Reward: The negative effects of the Heroic Spirit skill [Sickly] disappear.]

[Performance Task Reward: Additional improvement in settlement evaluation.]

[The increase in the settlement rating in the performance task reward will fluctuate depending on your performance.]
-
[Does the transformation of [Weak Sickness] into [Absolute Sword] have to be done in stages? ]

Fang Yi stood still after drawing his sword, flicked the [California Clear Light] on his hand and gave a 'friendly' reminder.

“My knife is very sharp.

"If you're going to fight with a knife, you'd better be careful.

"Do I need to announce my school and name before a fight?"

Before Fang Yi finished speaking, the swordsman lady's cold blade was approaching his body.

Without any warning, the swordsman lady launched her extremely powerful offensive skill [Shrinking the Earth], which was impossible to detect due to Fang Yi's amplification, and launched a shameless sneak attack.

He also heard the somewhat cold voice of the swordsman lady in combat mode.

“Master, I don’t remember you being so naive.

“While they were fighting, they also introduced themselves and said some boring nonsense.

“People like this usually die quickly.

He watched as he easily approached the man, the knife in his hand about to cut off his wrist.

Okita Souji couldn't help but sigh.

"Your swordsmanship should be quite good, but I can't let you fight the Heroic Spirit on my behalf. That's too dangerous."

[Even though I used the [Breath Blocking] you gave me, I still managed to win.]

She twisted her wrist slightly, turning the handle of the knife to transform it into a blade.

He instantly transformed the [Natural Rituals Flow·No Sword] he was using into [Natural Rituals Flow·Hanging Sword] and struck towards the long sword in the man's hand.

"I'm going to knock your knife down.

"You lose, Master!

"Please take that back"

Before Okita Souji could finish his words, Fang Yi's retort reached the ears of the swordsman lady.

"My dear swordsman lady, popping champagne at halftime is a bad habit.

"Those who declare victory before confirming the enemy's death usually die miserably."

Fang Yi tilted the [California Clear Light] in his hand slightly, turned the handle, slashed it lightly, and then twisted it, and he blocked the sword of the swordsman lady.

Listening to the prompt sound in my ear, [The basic requirements of the mission [Breaking Limits·Absolute Sword I] have been completed].

Fang Yi asked the red-faced Miss Yingling, who was struggling to retract her blade bit by bit under the suppression of his own attributes, in a 'friendly' manner, "Do you want to come again?"

After realizing that his attributes could suppress the opponent and easily win the duel, he was ready to complete the task quickly and move on to the next task.

He was going to try to contact Miss Zhuang and arrange a meeting place with her.
-
At the same time, in a church of the Holy Church.

Zhuang Zhengyan, who was urgently summoned as an 'agent', was listening to the man in front of her telling her some inside information about the Holy Grail War along with a group of other agents.

"Dear agents, this Holy Grail War is somewhat special, and the Church has discovered some clues.

"After the number of fallen heroes reaches a certain number, that extremely special [Holy Relic] will appear.

“Your job is to bring it back to the church.

"Now, please extend the back of your hands and check for any stigmata that indicate you have been chosen by the Holy Grail and can be summoned as a Heroic Spirit."

After mentioning the stigmata, Zhuang Zhengyan subconsciously touched her right hand, which had become a little rough due to the Kabaneri bloodline but had no stigmata.
