I, Fujimaru Ritsuka, am back with a max-level character!

Or perhaps it's an expression of remorse for his past heartless behavior of overusing Arash and Chen Gong.

"That's true, senior. Although this is my first time training in a simulated dungeon, Mashu will work even harder!"

Mashu is a serious, down-to-earth, and hardworking type of person, so even in daily training, she will still do her best.

After all, she was a top student in Group A.

"Why are you taking this so seriously? It's just a training session. I'm a witch who's fought my way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. This is nothing! Seriously, just give it a quick run and you're done."

Jeanne Alter casually brushed the ice shards off her body.

"Honestly, that guy's magic is not bad, although it's still far inferior to mine."

Boom——!

Click——!

That was the sound of ice shattering. At that moment, Kadoc felt as if he were in the land of winter, or experiencing the bitter cold of being stripped naked and forced out of Chaldea. Although he felt a little wronged, he could only feel a little wronged.

"So you're the one who wants to change your Servant?"

Anastasia pouted and said angrily, "I don't even need your magic, what else are you complaining about! You feel happy trampling on a girl's heart, don't you?"

"A loser like you, who else would want to be with you but me?"

"I told you to change your Servant! I told you to change your Servant!"

Anastasia angrily kicked the ice sculpture Kadoc.

Kadoc looked completely bewildered: I didn't say I wanted to change my Servant!

Seriously, all that girlish sentimentality.

What a hassle.

Mashu: "Kardok-san, I feel so sorry for him [he deserves it]..."

Chapter Twelve: Mash Takes the Master Away!

"Get out of my way, everyone! It's none of my business if you get caught in the crossfire!"

Facing the yellow Seed Flame, Jeanne Alter's eyes were filled with disdain. She proudly raised her head and chest, erecting the black Holy Banner. The surrounding flames were blazing and intense, stimulating the eyes.

"This violent woman, can she unleash this level of power all by herself?!"

Anastasia swallowed hard; it seemed like she had just been arguing with this crazy woman.

"It's practically like... a humanoid warship."

"Hahahahahahaha~~ Hahahahahaha~~! This long-lost feeling is so great!"

Jeanne Alter, who was wantonly slaughtering the seeds of revolution, felt extremely comfortable, as if she had just had an orgasm.

The immense hatred bottled up inside, even though a Heroic Spirit of the [Avenger] class wouldn't break, still felt as stifling as being cooped up at home for a long time without going out.

"Hey! You spoiled princess, freeze these targets properly, and I'll burn them all to the ground!"

The Ice Princess's expression was rather unpleasant.

What a rude woman.

Anastasia was thinking this when she heard Jeanne Alter shout even more anxiously:

"Hurry up, or you'll be burned too, and don't blame me!"

Anastasia: ......

"Honestly, simple-minded women are really hard to communicate with, don't you think, Viy?"

The princess complained to the adorable little fairy she was holding, a helpless expression on her face.

Mashu quickly and gently advised...

"Um... Your Highness, that's just how Jeanne Alter is. I'm so sorry... Could you please help us?"

"You don't have to do that, Mashu. Just call me Anna."

Anastasia smiled faintly and replied, "Vi, just show them a little bit of your power."

The little fairy in his arms shone brightly the moment Anastasia gave her the order, and the intense cold air brought the surrounding atmosphere down to near absolute freezing.

Click~ Click~ Click~ Click~

The ignition turned into ice, and suddenly he couldn't even move.

"Hey, watch me now."

"Very good, this is the last wave. Let's burn them all in one go!"

As the battle flag was raised, Jeanne Alter's flames instantly gathered like a fire tornado, and the blazing flames of vengeance annihilated the Seed Flames without any doubt.

"Ugh! I'm so angry!"

A sea of ​​fire instantly erupted on the field.

[Simulation Training] End.

The group returned from the special training ground to Chaldea, the blue space.

.....

"Fujimaru, you're standing too far forward. Pay attention occasionally. We are Masters, we don't need to be so close to the front lines."

Kadoc saw Fujimaru Ritsuka standing fearlessly beside Jeanne Alter and Mash, the dust from the aftershocks of the battle landing on his clean and tidy clothes, showing absolutely no elegance befitting a magician.

"This is also something that can't be helped."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's Command Seals glowed faintly red, and due to the supply of magical energy, beads of sweat kept dripping from her forehead.

"My magic connection is very short; it will break if we get too far apart."

Fujimaru Ritsuka replied without changing his expression, saying that he had long been accustomed to this style of fighting after so many desperate situations.

Dealing with the seed fire is as easy as taking a hot spring bath.

But it seems that Kadoc didn't use up any magic at all.

That's great, the summoned Servant comes with its own power bank (Viy).

“I see…” Kadoc nodded slightly, revealing a hint of sympathy that went beyond mere shared suffering, even reaching the level of pity.

......

It's probably a feeling of trying hard to be mediocre and pitying the useless.

I feel very sorry for the idiot who worked so hard to get into the top ten in the class, and I feel sorry for the worst student in the class.

But he didn't expect that this noob was actually someone who had traveled back from the time he was about to graduate from university.

"I'm sorry... I said some harsh things, Fujimaru."

Kadoc, realizing he had touched a nerve with Fujimaru Ritsuka, quickly apologized.

Gudako waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care at all.

"No, that's not true. I'm not so stupid as to not know my own abilities."

As a magician, I'm just a nobody, so there's no need to worry about these issues.

Kadoc paused for a moment, then said, "...Alright, then I won't say anything more."

After nodding to Gudako, the bottom-ranked player in Group A left the training room.

Unexpectedly, he is a gentle person.

Recalling their rivalry during version 2.1, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

He is ready to rebuild his life from the past.

None of the members of Group A are easy to deal with; they are all elite magicians, and the difference between them and Fujimaru Ritsuka is like the moon compared to the stars.

But so what?

I've come this far step by step, and now fate has given me a second chance.

What I will do in this second playthrough, what I want to change, and what I want to save are already fixed and unchanging goals.

We must never let those tragedies happen again!

Bang bang~~

A warm palm suddenly patted her face, and the faint fragrance and warmth brought Fujimaru Ritsuka back to her senses.

"Stop thinking so much, you idiot Master!"

Jeanne Alter patted Gudako's cheeks with both hands, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Take this opportunity to relax. Or are you worried about having such a powerful Heroic Spirit like me around?"

Black Jeanne proudly puffed out her chest, and beneath her black shirt, a faint white light shone through the bulge.

"Don't worry, of course you can rest assured!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka grasped the hand that Alter Jeanne was touching her face, and after regaining her composure, she smiled and said.

"On the contrary, I feel at ease precisely because Jeanne Alter is here."

"Hmph~ You're smart to know what's good for you. If you ever have any troubles in the future, just come and cry to me. I really want to see you cry your eyes out and look weak, so... please give me your pleasure!"

"Yes, I know. Jeanne Alter is indeed very reliable!"

Black Jeanne blushed as she spoke, her heart pounding.

She closed her eyes shyly.

Although she briefly stimulated Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind with the "Love Elixir," it was still lacking in a truly meaningful way.

The timing to truly break through that thin layer of paper.

However, at this moment.

"Ooh~~~ Ah!"
