People in Type-Moon have a hero simulator.

"But would such a scheme work on a magician?"

El-Melloi II expressed his doubts. Although the "human rocket launcher" was not as powerful as the Archmage, no one could underestimate magic.

"Don't say everything you want to say, don't say everything you want to say."

As Aozaki Touko said this, she left with the long, narrow box on her back.

"A feint to the east while attacking in the west? Tsk~ I feel like I've been tricked."

El-Melloi II felt inexplicably uneasy, as if he had unknowingly fallen into some kind of trap.

The feint attack that Aozaki Touko mentioned was naturally referring to the holy sword in her box.

The Servant that Marisbury Animusfiah truly intended to summon was not Vortigern's Blade at all.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Aozaki Touko, but when she wanted to acquire the holy sword, she didn't expect that Maris Billy would make an exorbitant demand, completely emptying Aozaki Touko's savings.

If she doesn't avenge this, she's no longer a member of the Aozaki family.

If it weren't for the binding force of the contract, she wouldn't have given this casual reminder; she would have stripped Maris Billy naked.

"Tsk~ This is troublesome. We can't even pay Ganye's wages after this trip. I hope the Liangyi family can accept the IOU."

Aozaki Touko thought of her old friends whom she hadn't seen for five years. Those two should probably be married by now. But given the Ryougi family's background, the next time she saw Kurogiri, he probably wouldn't be Kurogiri anymore.

"Qingzi, it's time for things to end between us."

Aozaki Touko boarded a plane back to Japan. It was finally time for everything from that year to come to an end. She had to defeat her sister, who had ruined her life, in order to prove herself to everyone.

I, Aozaki Touko, am not some stepping stone.

……

"Hey~ Fujimaru, I don't offer marriage fortunes here."

Liu Dongyicheng watched as a man and a woman came to his temple early in the morning.

The guy was alright, he could be considered one of his bad friends, but the girl was his nemesis.

"Who comes here seeking marriage? Would I even be interested in him?"

Rin Tohsaka stomped her feet in anger. The scene of her rashly taking Kyoya Fujimaru away from school had quickly spread far and wide. How could she possibly face anyone at school now?

"And you, why don't you even bother to clarify things?"

"Why clarify? Rumors often get worse the more you try to explain them; they'll just disappear naturally in time."

Fujimaru Kyoya spoke with great righteousness, but in reality, for a boy to have a rumored romance with a classmate who is a school beauty is something his father would be very happy about.

Not showing it off is already a good deed.

"This time, I intend to borrow your family's Buddhist scriptures."

"Buddhist scriptures? Are you planning to lay down your butcher's knife?"

Liu Dongyi was greatly surprised. He never expected that this ruthless demon would want to read Buddhist scriptures. Liu Dong Temple was willing to open its doors to him.

Having converted the demon Fujimaru Kyoya, I suppose he'll make a name for himself at the Great Raiyin Temple someday.

"The scriptures are in this room. You are free to look at them, but please remember not to damage them. Also, this is a sacred Buddhist place, so please do not proclaim them during the day..."

"Who would know how?"

Rin Tohsaka, embarrassed, slammed the door shut. Kazunari Ryudou sighed silently. Young people are just too hot-tempered. If a man and a woman are in the same room, it won't be long before someone gets killed.

"Hopefully, Fujimaru has prepared some safety measures."

"Safety measures? Are there any dangerous areas within Ryudo-ji Temple?"

Suddenly a soft female voice came from behind, the other person sounding weak as if she were suffering from a chronic illness.

"Miss Sesshouin, aren't you feeling unwell? Please don't move around unnecessarily."

Liu Dongyi looked at the sickly girl. Although she was a few years younger than him, she had an intelligence that did not belong to her age, as well as an innocence that was out of step with the world.

"It's alright, going out for a walk can also help with recovery."

Sesshouin Kiara is the daughter of the head of the "Eiten-ryu" school, a branch of the Tachikawa school of Shingon Buddhism.

Born with a serious illness, she was said to have no lifespan beyond fourteen. Now that her time is up, her father has finally taken her away from the deep mountains to a big city for treatment.

After spending a lot of money, the condition has finally stabilized and is starting to improve.

At this time, Sesshouin and his daughter were staying at Ryudou Temple as wandering monks.

"My classmates are somewhat interested in Buddhist scriptures, so I lent them some; it was just a joke between classmates."

"Classmate? That's great, I've never been to school before."

When Sesshouin Kiara spoke of school, she became melancholy. She had been frail and sickly since childhood and had been raised in the deep mountains. She had no friends, let alone a school.

"Since Miss Sesshouin will be staying here for a while anyway, why don't I introduce them to you later?"

Seeing Sesshouin Kiara in such a state, Ryudou Kazunari couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

I heard that her father even planned to auction off a high-ranking monk's relics in order to cure her illness. He was willing to do such a disloyal thing, which shows how much he loves his daughter.

I really hope she gets better soon.

……

"So why did you lock the door from the inside? I, Fujimaru Kyo, am not that kind of person."

Fujimaru Kyoya looked at Rin Tohsaka, who had locked the door from the inside, and his expression became strange.

If Rin Tohsaka were to suddenly assault him while he was alone in a room with a man and a woman, then this weak man would obviously be unable to resist the devilishly muscular Rin.

He could only lie on the ground and let them do as they pleased.

"Damn it, who would do this if it weren't for the need to keep the magic secret?"

Rin Tohsaka stomped her foot in frustration. Originally, she wanted Kyoya Fujimaru to come to her house to teach her magic, but then she thought about what would happen if her electrical idiot nature was exposed.

A high school girl who doesn't even know how to use a TV...

Once this "handle" falls into Fujimaru Kyoya's hands, she will never be able to hold her head high in front of her apprentice again.

Chapter 42 The Upper Limit of Ordinary People 2/28

"Fujimaru, the first lesson I'm going to teach you today is the essence of a magician."

Although he was taken in as a disciple against his will, Fujimaru Kyoya's character was indeed not problematic, and the people he fought with were just petty thugs.

Even the police in Fuyuki had to admit that since Kyoya Fujimaru's debut, minor crimes in Fuyuki City had indeed decreased year by year.

Fujimaru Kyoya is written as "Bad Boy" but read as "Evil Buster".

"Magicians are a group of people who study magic and try to reach the vortex of the root. In other words, they are scientists who pursue the truth."

Although the paths are different, the "truth" pursued by science and the "root" sought by magic are essentially the same thing.

"However, magicians are not as gentle as scientists; the key lies in the magic mark."

Magic markings are a tradition passed down through a family of magicians.

Even a peerless genius specializing in one magic trick may not be able to reach the source. Therefore, magicians will put the crystallization of their life's magic skills into magic imprints and pass them on to the next generation.

In this way, the next generation of magicians can stand on the shoulders of giants without doing anything.

"With the inheritance of magic imprints, the accumulation of generation after generation makes a magician's family history basically a predictor of a magician's lower limit of strength. This is not only because excellent bloodlines are more likely to produce children with better talent, but also because of the inherent advantages brought by the accumulation of ancestors."

Although Rin Tohsaka had noticed that Kyoya Fujimaru was quite talented these past few days, she still had to be prepared, because without a magic crest, one lacked foundation and was destined to be inferior.

Nearly ten years ago, there was a naive young man at the Clock Tower who thought this theory was wrong, but he was eventually refuted by his teacher.

Ten years have passed, and that hothead has become the monarch's representative, but his magic skills still haven't improved.

There's no way around it, this is the limit.

"We live in a society governed by the rule of law. Even if you become a magician, you shouldn't engage in violence. Instead, you should accumulate knowledge of the occult, determine the direction of your magic research, and pass on what you've learned from generation to generation. Eventually, a certain generation will reach the source. This is what magicians should be doing in this day and age."

It's not that Rin Tohsaka talks too much, but considering Kyoya Fujimaru's personality of resorting to fists at the slightest provocation, it's better to give him some pointers.

These days, magicians should value harmony and avoid infighting.

"I understand. So when will we learn the Avada Kedavra curse?"

"I don't think you understand at all."

Rin Tohsaka was furious. She had asked Kyoya Fujimaru to read some books on the occult, but he was reading Harry Potter instead...

Is this a book about mysticism?

You're so awesome, why don't you watch Twilight Occurrence?

"In short, if we understand magic using modern thinking, then magic is a kind of applied science, right? But this science needs magic as a catalyst, otherwise it cannot be realized."

In order to keep his theoretical classes going, Fujimaru Kyoya put aside his tendency to joke around a bit.

"Your understanding is correct for now. I will now give you a brief demonstration of the Tohsaka family's Jewel Magic."

Rin Tohsaka took out a gem, and a burst of red light emanated from her hand. The gem then began to change color and shape, which was quite magical.

"This must be due to the change in atomic structure, which transformed the original gemstone into another substance without the need for any auxiliary instruments. This is indeed much more convenient than science."

Fujimaru Kyo didn't know if this was a difficult task given the scientific and technological level of 2003, but the ability to directly alter the structure of matter without using sophisticated instruments was what made magic unique compared to science.

only……

"Tohsaka, is that your family's heirloom gem magic?"

"Yes."

"So you're going to use gemstones?"

"Yes."

"Bring your own?"

"That's right."

Rin Tohsaka seemed to have sensed something as well, and her smile immediately turned wicked.

Although the Tohsaka family had declined by this time, Tokiomi Tohsaka still left behind a lot of magic patents. Rin Tohsaka may not have become very rich by living off the patent fees, but she certainly needed a lot of gems to practice magic.

But as for Fujimaru Kyoya...
