On how PhDs become human evil

And to make matters worse, I discovered that the burly, heavily armored individual turned out to be a petite and adorable little girl, and the male cross-dresser wearing black stockings was actually a female Mulan dressed as a man. Surprisingly, the daughter of an orc was the beauty icon, and some of the features hidden behind the mask were unexpectedly unusual. What on earth is going on?

Well… I shouldn’t have believed that Reunion wasn’t a brothel like Rhodes Island.

If the Originium Bugs can also have women, then I will dedicate myself to the Reunion Movement and die without regret!

……

Wife, come with me to Kazimierz. Let's start by liberating the serfs.

Hmm? You ask why? Well, it's for the sake of the reform and integration movement, of course.

We can't let the Reunion Movement be destroyed by Talulah.

This is the first time I've seen Mephisto as the female lead, and it's surprisingly interesting. (There's a cover for it.)

Section 462, Chapter 18: I just remembered I haven't bought the 198 gift pack yet.

After some playful fighting, Bai Jie was finally spared the punishment of being thrown into the Infinite Time Corridor by Mostima. After all, although the process was a bit unpleasant to watch, Bai Jie was indeed thinking of Kiana's best interests, so Mostima couldn't be angry with Bai Jie at all.

After the turmoil subsided, Bai Jie led the two into the alternate dimension that had been created specifically for Artoria, and handed her the scabbard from the subdimensional space.

The moment Artoria saw her sword sheath, she was shocked. She had never imagined she would see it again, and she was quite skeptical that Bai Jie could find it. Of course, she was very grateful to Bai Jie for helping her find the sheath.

But to everyone's surprise, Bai Jie actually found the scabbard. Now, even if Bai Jie said he could bring the Holy Lance back in a few days, Artoria wouldn't be too surprised.

After regaining her sword sheath, Artoria displayed a fighting prowess that made her seem like a completely different person in the battles against the Valkyries. Not only did her attacks become incredibly powerful, but her fighting style also became somewhat wild, and she almost never dodged the attacks unleashed by the Valkyries!

If Artoria without a scabbard is a balanced knight who knows how to both attack and defend, then Artoria with a scabbard is an offensive knight dedicated to charging into battle and killing enemies!

The absolute protection of Avalon and the powerful attack of Excalibur are combined to form the complete Knight King.

Bai Jie nodded in satisfaction. With the scabbard, Artoria could theoretically be invincible against anyone, which was quite impressive for a Servant.

"Speaking of which, Master, how did you get my scabbard back?"

Not long after she retrieved the sword sheath, during a meal, Artoria couldn't contain her curiosity and asked...

She had lost her sword sheath a long time ago, and even though Bai Jie made some deductions, they were still just deductions.

"It was taken from your original Master. Because the connection between the scabbard and him was too deep, the method was a little rough."

"Rough... Master, you didn't do anything outrageous, did you?"

Artoria asked nervously.

Although she was already Bai Jie's Servant, she was still worried about Emiya Shirou, who had summoned her. This had nothing to do with feelings; it was purely a Servant's concern for his original master.

Regarding Artoria's concerns, Bai Jie stroked his chin and said, "It depends on your definition of what's outrageous. By my standards, cutting open his stomach shouldn't be considered excessive."

No, that's already way too much!

"By the way, because your sword sheath isn't a physical entity inside your body, I could only use the concept separation method to extract it from that kid's body, and that kid fainted from the pain."

"This is already going too far!"

"But at the time, that was the only method available."

If he thought about it carefully, Bai Jie could indeed come up with a better way, such as removing Avalon without causing Shirou Emiya pain, but that would be too time-consuming, and Bai Jie didn't like wasting time on people who had nothing to do with him.

"Well, don't worry, I treated that kid, so you don't have to worry about him dying. I'm a good person."

(If you're a good person, then everyone in the world is a good person!)

Mostima, Kiana, and Artoria were internally ranting and raving.

--------------------------

Late at night, just like before, Bai Jie took Artoria away from the hotel and arrived in Fuyuki City.

Neither Bai Jie nor Artoria are the type to sit idly by and wait for the enemy to come to them, so they choose to take the initiative—

"So, Master, your proactive attack means invading someone else's home?"

Artoria looked at the castle in front of her with an embarrassed expression. She was very familiar with this place; she had spent a long time in this castle during the Holy Grail War ten years ago.

Einzbern.

Bai Jie brought Artoria here.

"Tohsaka, Matou, and Einzbern. These three families founded the Holy Grail War. Tohsaka's side has already been fought, and I wiped out Matou ten years ago. That leaves only Einzbern. I refuse to believe that Einzbern didn't participate in this Holy Grail War."

"Or is it that you, Saber, are unable to bring yourself to harm the Einzberns?"

"How could that be? Although I was a servant here ten years ago, now, ten years later, I am your servant, and I will naturally bring you victory."

"Hmm, well said. Let's go then—"

As he said this, Bai Jie raised his hand, and several interlocking magic circles appeared in front of his palm.

Since Einzbern's castle was their magic workshop, with numerous magical projects, in order to avoid being hindered by trivial magic, Bai Jie decided to simply bombard it.

"Chant omitted—Fire!"

"Boom!"

A jet-black magic cannon erupted from the magic circle, like an ancient siege hammer, blasting the entire wall of the castle in front of the two into pieces!

A deafening roar erupted in the forest, and broken tiles and rubble mixed with the blizzard crushed the surrounding trees and earth. In Bai Jie and Artoria's eyes, the Einzbern castle had been blasted through by that cannon!

"Oh dear, I didn't control my strength well, but the result is the same, so it doesn't matter."

"You've clearly gone too far, Master!"

Artoria was furious. She was truly exasperated by Bai Jie's actions, which caused such devastation at the drop of a hat. In terms of causing trouble, she felt that even Mordred couldn't compare to Bai Jie!

"Don't say that. The result is the most important thing, the process doesn't matter—but the competition is here."

Bai Jie's words were like a switch; the instant his voice fell, an incredibly swift black shadow suddenly burst out from the ruins of the castle and charged toward Bai Jie's location!

"Clang!"

Artoria stood directly in front of Bai Jie, and the Holy Sword, which was enveloped by the Wind King's Barrier, slashed out decisively, striking the black figure directly!

Only then did Bai Jie and Artoria see the true form of the black shadow that had suddenly rushed out.

It was a giant, at least two meters tall, with messy black hair. His muscles were incredibly well-defined, his body extremely strong. He wore an armored battle skirt, wielded a grotesque axe-sword, his upper body was exposed, and his feet were bare. From his eyes, which flashed with a fierce red light, boundless madness erupted like a fountain.

Without a doubt, this guy is Berserker!

P.S.: I just remembered I haven't bought the Arknights 198 New Year's gift pack yet, but I was surprised to find that I don't have enough money, I'm still 50 yuan short, damn it!

Section 463, Chapter 19: I've accumulated 4000 Tricycle Crystals, now waiting for Yunmo Danxin.

Class: Berserker

Master: Illyasviel von Einzbern

Real name: ?

Attribute: Chaos - Berserk

Ability Values ​​—

Strength: a+

Durability: a

Agile: a

Magic: a

Luck: b

Noble Phantasm: a

......

Looking at the Berserker's stats displayed before his eyes, Bai Jie couldn't help but be slightly amazed.

Artoria had reached A-rank in all abilities due to her excessive magical power enhancement, but this Berserker in front of her was also A-rank in all abilities except for Luck?! The opponent's Master could not possibly be more outstanding than Bai Jie, so does that mean that this Berserker himself has incredibly powerful stats?

"Drink!"

With a sudden jolt of her arms, Artoria's petite body unleashed a monstrous strength that no human could match, sending Berserker staggering back several steps!

"Master, please be careful, the opponent is a formidable foe!"

“Yeah, I know, so I’ll leave this guy to you.” Bai Jie patted Artoria on the shoulder. “As for me, I’ll go find the Master on the other side and have some fun. Servant against Servant, Master against Master.”

Before obtaining the sword sheath, it would have been a real challenge for Artoria to face Berserker alone. Although their stats were the same, Berserker was the type who sacrificed his sanity for fighting power, and his fighting strength was definitely much greater than his stats suggested.

But now, Artoria has obtained the sword sheath, and the absolute protection brought by Avalon makes Artoria completely unafraid of the powerful enemy in front of her!

"Then, Master, I wish you great success in your military campaigns."

"Okay, you better watch out—if you lose, I'll kill you."

Artoria: I retract my foreword. It would be better if this kind of Master died.

------------------

Inside the Einzbern castle, Ilya walked unsteadily, leaning against the wall.

"Seriously, what's going on? They suddenly attacked from the outside and even demolished the castle. Don't they care about the stealth of magic at all?"

Ilya was sleeping in bed when she woke up after sensing that a Servant and Master were approaching the castle. She was thinking about how to deal with the master and servant who had stepped into her territory.

But just as Ilya began to use her wits, the castle was blasted through, and she fell directly from the second floor to the first floor. Fortunately, she was saved from serious injury by magic.

The bombardment of her castle was absolutely intolerable to Illya, so she immediately dispatched her Servant, Berserker, to meet the enemy. Although she didn't know who the enemy was, Illya had absolute confidence in Berserker, not only because of Berserker's strength, but also because Berserker's Noble Phantasm was arguably the strongest Noble Phantasm, virtually indestructible!

"Oh my, I found a little girl."

A slightly flippant voice rang out not far away. Ilya hurriedly looked over and saw Bai Jie, dressed in black, standing in the ruins looking at her.

Noticing the Command Seals on Bai Jie's hand, Illya immediately sneered: "So that's how it is. You're the Master who came to attack. How audacious of you to break into my castle all by yourself."

"She's clearly just a little girl, but she speaks with such maturity—you're that big guy's Master outside? Looks like I'm in luck, I've found the real deal right away."
