Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Asta fell to the ground, rolling forward with a series of incoherent roars.

"They lost so fast!" the kids complained.

Yuno did notice something: Fang Rui's combat skills were superior to theirs.

No, to be precise, their skills are very weak.

His training over the years has focused on basic attributes, with very little actual combat training. His daily sparring with Asta can only be considered ordinary practice, not actual combat training...

Yuno already had ideas for the future: after obtaining the magic book, he wanted to increase his practical experience as soon as possible.

"It hurts..." Astar sat on the ground, rubbing his face.

After all, during the roll, his face hit the ground more than once, it was a real face-slapping experience...

"Are you alright, Asta?" a child asked.

It was clear that these people had a good relationship. Fang Rui took out two bottles of medicine, handing one to Asta and the other to Yuno.

"Here's some medicine for you to treat your injuries. Apply it to the injured area to speed up the recovery."

"Thank you." The two did not refuse; they did indeed need medicine to treat their injuries.

Especially Asta, who took the medicine very quickly, after all, his injury was to his face.

After applying the medicine, the two set off back to the village, passing through a forest on their way.

The forest was rich in animal resources. Fang Rui used magic to catch some wild rabbits and other edible animals to pay for his stay at the church.

Yuno seemed thoughtful about this, indicating that he had learned something.

Condensing the wind into rope-like and net-like structures to restrain wild beasts was something he had never imagined. The skills Fang Rui displayed made Yuno even more convinced that Fang Rui lived in the wilderness.

After all, his magic is full of life.

"Wow! That's amazing..." Asta exclaimed in surprise when he saw Fang Rui catch so many wild beasts so easily. In fact, he had thought about catching wild beasts to improve the church's meals, but he had only succeeded a few times.

The main reason is that his attacks are always accompanied by noise, and he doesn't conceal his presence. The wary wild animals sense Astar's fierce aura and flee quite quickly.

Yuno could catch wild animals, but he didn't have as many tricks as Fang Rui. Each time he caught a wild animal, it took him a lot of effort, and often the wild animal would find him before he even spotted it...

"How did you find them?"

Yuno was very curious and wanted to know how Fang Rui had done it.

"Simply put, it's about perception. By spreading the wind outwards, you can sense everything within your range."

The technique Fang Rui mentioned is somewhat similar to the magic field, but there are some differences.

"Let the wind fill a certain area, and then send back information..." Yuno frowned slightly. It sounded simple, but it was actually very difficult to do.

He couldn't imagine how to spread the wind across an area without anyone noticing.

"Don't rush, you can practice slowly."

Fang Rui gestured to Yuno not to rush, "It's impossible to learn a skill just by listening to my description of its effects."

"You need to try it little by little. As for when to start, wait until you get the magic book..."

The Magic Book Acquisition Ceremony is held once a year at the Magic Book Tower.

Fang Rui was very curious about how many Magic Book Towers there were. The territory of a kingdom is very vast, especially since some nobles and royalty hate to step into the outside world, and it is also a troublesome matter for ordinary people to go to the royal realm.

Therefore, Fang Rui guessed that there was more than one magic book tower, and the towers were connected by spatial magic tools to ensure that everyone could be sensed by all the magic books when the magic book conferment ceremony was performed...

Back at the church, Yuno explained Fang Rui's situation to the others, and no one objected to him staying overnight.

Before dinner, Yuno, Asta, and Fang Rui were discussing how to become stronger.

"Yuno can train your magic control. No matter how much magic you master in the future, the fine control of magic will bring you surprises."

"As for Asta, you have absolutely no combat skills; you're fighting entirely with brute force. You need to systematically learn martial arts. There are many types of magic, and some of them require the user to have martial arts skills. Therefore, learning martial arts is quite simple..."

"Once you go to the capital and join the Knights, you can ask the members of the Knights."

Fang Rui pointed out a path for the two of them, a path that could help them become stronger.

"How do we contact them for precise control?" Yuno asked.

He was very talented, and his control over magic was also very high. He could precisely control the details of using magic, but seeing Fang Rui's actions today, he realized that he still had a lot of room for improvement.

“It’s very simple.” Fang Rui stretched out his right hand, palm facing up. Invisible wind gathered and formed a tangible shape, which kept changing above his palm. Sometimes it turned into a line of text, sometimes into various animals, and sometimes into a virtual 3D map.

"Amazing!!!" Astar exclaimed.

"Unbelievable!" Yuno uttered his catchphrase, indicating his astonishment.

"This is the first step of the cultivation method. The second step is an advanced version, which simply means using wind to construct more complex objects and then maintaining them..."

"It would be even better if it could be used in combat. By the way, the constructed objects should be refined, not crude."

“I understand.” Yuno nodded slightly. He understood what Fang Rui was trying to say: a crude construction method could not achieve the desired training effect.

"As for Asta, we'll devise a training plan for you after we obtain the spellbook."

Fang Rui knew that Asta would obtain the five-leaf clover magic book and master anti-magic as well as some sword magic.

Fang Rui didn't master much of the greatsword technique; he could use it, but he wasn't an expert.

In other words, it's enough to lay the foundation for Asta. To make up for Asta's shortcomings, the first step is to find Yami Suketa and teach Asta how to use ki.

Besides, I'm curious whether Asta can learn skills from other worlds!

Thinking this through, Fang Rui added, "As for now, I can be your sparring partner to see your strengths and weaknesses."

After that, the two began training, with Yuno exercising on the side.

After dinner, the three of them rested in a room, talking about what they would do and what would happen after obtaining the magic book...

They are full of anticipation for the future.

Fang Rui was also full of anticipation. He was very curious about what his magic book would be, or whether he could acquire magic.

The next day, the group set off for the Magic Book Tower to receive the magic books...

The layout resembled a circular library, with countless books displayed on shelves. As the ceremony began, shimmering magic books floated in the air and fell into the hands of different people...

"How interesting, I actually managed to obtain a magic book..."

As the silver light of the magic book slowly faded, Fang Rui's lips curled into a slight smile. He already knew the information about the magic book.

Mirror magic is neither rare nor common. Even with the same magical properties, different people will use it differently, and in some cases, the differences can be quite significant.

Sensing Fang Rui's characteristics, magic appeared in the spellbook. The first spell was Mirror Copy, which was like looking in a mirror. You would do the same thing as the other person, and you could cast the same spell as the other person. However, the magic power reserves could not be copied. The copied spells would be recorded and used later.

The second magic is the Mirror World, which allows you to enter the Mirror World and travel to different areas; it's considered a space-related magic.

The third spell is Mirror Image, which can replicate oneself or others. The clones created can fight automatically and are controlled by the spellbook holder.

There are only three spells for now, but they are all very practical...

In Fang Rui's view, the three types of magic mentioned above were enough for him to fight his way through the entire series...

"Great!" Fang Rui closed the magic book, and then heard Asta's cautious voice, and his gaze turned to him.

As he knew, Asta did not obtain the spellbook, but in reality, some lesser demon had already set its sights on him and was now observing him...

After all, observing the outside world through a book is a bit difficult for a certain demon, especially to confirm someone's identity.

Chapter 575 Knights' Entry Examination

The rest of the plot is self-explanatory: Asta gets into trouble with someone, obtains a spellbook, and then makes a deal with Yuno.

Fang Rui acted as a competent observer, refraining from interrupting the two. Once they had finished their conversation, Fang Rui reminded them that it was getting late and they should go home.

After all, neither Asta nor Yuno had any money, so they couldn't afford to stay in hotels or guesthouses.

The three returned to Haji Village. Fang Rui left a clone in the village to prevent his sudden disappearance from frightening the others.

Back in the world of Gintama, the second round of the competition had not yet started, but the audience had already begun to enter the venue.

Unlike the chaotic first round, the one-on-one battles were more exciting. After all, the skill gap between the participants was too obvious in the first round, making it less entertaining to watch.

There were more people advancing to the second round than Fang Rui had expected, with thirty-six in total. Sakata Gintoki and others were on the list of those who advanced. Perhaps it was a deliberate arrangement, but none of them met in the second round.

"emmm..."

Looking at the match list, Fang Rui's expression was somewhat speechless. Based on his analysis, this round of matches wouldn't be very entertaining either...

In terms of strength, Sakata Gintoki and his group have a clear advantage, and some of them can even win easily.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Rui didn't do anything strange. Instead, he turned his attention to other places. Tokugawa Shigeshige and the others had come here again today. They were not in a hurry to collect intelligence after gaining control of someone.

After all, this person thought he was trusted by the Heavenly Guides, but in the eyes of the Heavenly Guides, he was just a useful pawn and was not regarded as anything special. Even the bodyguards assigned to him were for surveillance.

Therefore, after learning about this, Tokugawa Shigeshige and others naturally had to be careful with their words and actions, fearing that the people being monitored would notice something amiss.

Fang Rui's gaze wasn't on Tokugawa Shigeshige and the others, but rather on Oboro, who was hiding in the shadows. Speaking of which, his job was to monitor someone. Did he have time to pass messages to Yoshida Shōyō?

Important information should be given in person; otherwise, it may be intercepted by others.

The aforementioned doubts lingered in Fang Rui's mind for a moment before he forgot about them. They weren't particularly important, and there was no need to waste time and energy thinking about them.

Turning his gaze away, Fang Rui turned to another person, a flower among a group of men, located in the area where the Shinsengumi were situated.

Judging from Okita Sougo's expression and reaction, it must be his sister, Okita Mitsuha. Fang Rui showed no surprise at her presence, undoubtedly because Okita Sougo had invited her. Recently, the Shinsengumi had been on paid leave, and Okita Sougo had free time to spend with his sister...

However, the man next to Okita Mitsuha has a square face and looks very serious, but there is something strange about him, and he doesn't seem like a serious person.

Furthermore, he wasn't wearing the Shinsengumi uniform, so he must be an outsider.

Perhaps he's a family member of a Shinsengumi member; whether he's Okita Mitsuha's fiancé is something Fang Rui hasn't considered, after all...

Being able to remember important characters is already quite an achievement; who remembers the minor, insignificant characters?

Not to mention that there is a difference between two-dimensional and three-dimensional, and without deliberately thinking in a certain direction, it is not necessarily possible to guess.

Speaking of which, Okita Mitsuha's illness seems to be quite serious, and she is in love with Hijikata Toshiro.

Fang Rui, who dislikes knives, was pondering how much to charge for the consultation. He hadn't displayed many supernatural abilities in front of the Shinsengumi, but Okita Sougo's decision to bring his sister here at this time was partly motivated by the idea of ​​taking advantage of the gathering of extraordinary people to "see if anyone could cure his sister's illness."

After all, he had witnessed the abilities of Onmyoji, who could command demons and monsters and possessed various wondrous spells, so it was quite normal for him to also master healing spells.

That's what he thought, and that's what he asked.

Yoshiaki's answer surprised Okita Sougo; the Onmyoji did indeed possess healing techniques, which were very useful for treating illnesses and injuries.
