People in Type-Moon have a hero simulator.

【you are dead. 】

You have completed the ending "Starfall at Wuzhang Plains," and you can now draw one of the three basic talent attributes.

[Please wait while the draw begins... Draw complete.]

You have acquired the talent "Ghost Brain".

You inherited the talent "All Forms Are Not Forms".

After finishing the simulation, Fujimaru Kyouya hastily bid farewell to Sesshouin Kiara and went to the Fuyuki City Library almost immediately, all for the sake of the set of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in his hands.

As the pages turned, Fujimaru Kyoya's eyes swept over the words and phrases. Even though he didn't try to memorize them, a series of information entered his mind and gradually became indelible.

Good heavens, is this "ghost brain" a magical skill for learning? Zhao Tian didn't read a single book in his previous life, what a waste!

At this moment, Fujimaru Kyoya was completely engaged in "quantum reading," yet he still remembered what he saw vividly, so getting into the University of Tokyo shouldn't be a problem for him in this lifetime.

No, my first choice can only be Hogwarts.

"How can you read like this efficiently? Why don't you just ask me whatever you want to ask?"

Shinji Matou couldn't stand Fujimaru Kyoya "wasting" the book like that, so he snatched it back. He knew the contents of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms by heart.

What was the outcome of the Battle of Changban?

"You're asking this?"

Shinji Matou immediately looked at Kyoya Fujimaru with the same look he would give someone an idiot.

"In Luo Guanzhong's novel, Zhao Yun rescued A Dou by charging in and out of Cao Cao's army seven times. However, in the official history, Zhao Yun held off five thousand of Cao Cao's troops, giving Lady Gan and Lady Mi a chance to escape."

Shinji Matou couldn't help but sigh at this point, wondering who the hell was in the novel and who was in history.

At the time, this historical account was so exaggerated that many people questioned its authenticity. However, Luo Guanzhong's novel balanced the differences between the two accounts, and the story, presented through the dramatic technique of "seven entries and seven exits," gained more recognition.

"And what about Sima Yi?"

"In the novel, he lived a long life, but in the official history, he died at Wuzhang Plains due to Zhuge Liang's dying plan."

At this point, Shinji Matou couldn't help but sigh. It was truly lamentable that two important figures had died in such a small place as Wuzhang Plains.

"I see."

Fujimaru Kyoya retrieved the Records of the Three Kingdoms. He naturally didn't remember when the Sima family usurped the throne or when their dynasty ended. However, when he turned to the Battle of Yiling and saw Liu Bei being rescued, he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhuge Liang's 129,600 men were probably indeed saved.

While the general course of history has remained largely unchanged, some details have indeed deviated, which serves as proof that Zhuge Liang and his presence were once present.

What a fun simulator!

"By the way, didn't you leave me some money? I'm planning to take some out now."

"Money? You really don't plan to keep it? I'm treating your skills as equity."

Shinji Matou looked at Kyoya Fujimaru. This kid has been acting strangely lately, hanging out with Rin Tohsaka. Could it be that he's planning to enter the world of magic?

"Kyou, you should know that after the crisis of 08, the prospects for virtual currency will be very promising."

When Fujimaru Kyoya pointed out the subprime mortgage crisis in 08, it was confirmed by Matou Shinji. Fujimaru Kyoya then introduced the concept of virtual currency.

In short, after that economic crisis, many people began to doubt the credibility of the US dollar and planned to establish a decentralized currency.

If Shinji Matou can produce this currency immediately after the economic crisis, he will reap huge profits, whether he expands the concept of virtual currency or cashes out and leaves the market.

This is the "technology investment" proposed by Shinji Matou, and now Kyoya Fujimaru plans to use this money to train in magic.

"Money is something I only need as long as I have enough, but now it's reached the point where I don't have enough."

"Not enough? You wouldn't be..."

"Indeed, I've been learning magic from Tohsaka recently."

Although magic is a secret that needs to be hidden, Fujimaru Kyo didn't hide it from the person in front of him, who also came from a family of magicians.

"You... sigh~ I'll prepare the money for you, but don't become too much of a magician, Kyouya."

"I understand, then I'll trouble you."

Fujimaru Kyoya left, while Matou Shinji breathed a sigh of relief.

"He's really good at everything. If it were before, I would probably be insanely jealous."

"I said with a self-deprecating smile."

Born into a family of magicians, he lacked the aptitude to become a magician. The absence of magic circuits essentially meant he had no talent whatsoever as a magician, but…

"Has it finally arrived?"

Shinji Matou looked at a woman carrying a long, narrow box in the distance. This was the person he had been waiting for, a Grand Puppeteer.

"Matou-kun? He's surprisingly young."

Aozaki Touko looked at Matou Shinji in front of her and was surprised that the guy with so many wonderful ideas was such a young man.

But it could be some old man in disguise, right?

"You flatter me. The main reason I sought out Miss Aozaki this time was regarding that matter."

"An artificial magic circuit? What a bold idea."

Aozaki Touko drew a rune in mid-air, and a barrier that dispelled idlers appeared immediately.

"It is not an artificial magic circuit, but a substitute for a magic circuit."

Shinji Matou searched through all the books in his house, so he naturally wouldn't make a basic mistake. So-called magic power is just a manifestation of life force. The fact that Shinji Matou is still alive means that there is magic power in his body.

What he lacks now is something to unleash his magic—magic circuits.

"In the end, magic circuits are nothing more than simulated nerves, serving as a filter to connect the small sources within the body with the large sources of the world. Such things do not necessarily have to exist within the body."

External organs.

Although Aozaki Touko had heard of such theories, the risks were extremely high. However, if it was something like a magic circuit that didn't exist for ordinary people, even if something went wrong, it wouldn't be too troublesome.

"The key lies in stability."

Aozaki Touko doesn't deny Matou Shinji's talent; it truly is an unexplored territory.

For magicians, "secrecy" is of paramount importance.

No one would be so idle as to research artificial circuits that would allow ordinary people to use magic, but now Aozaki Touko may be about to step into this field.

"What benefit would I get from agreeing to a job that could teach ordinary people magic?"

As a magician, Aozaki Touko has no reason to do something so thankless and exhausting.

What do you mean?

"It costs more."

Chapter 71 My Gem Magic is a Little Strange

"Bang~"

The sounds of fighting came from the courtyard of the Fuyuki Church. Kirei Kotomine and Kyoya Fujimaru exchanged a brief blow, and although Kirei's face remained expressionless, they were actually numb.

"Wait a moment."

Seeing that Fujimaru Kyoya intended to continue fighting, Kotomine Kirei hurriedly stopped him, otherwise his senior apprentice would have made a huge fool of himself today.

"Winning by hand-to-hand combat is a method that only a 'heretical' person like me would use. What truly determines a magician's success is his mastery of magic."

“That’s right, gem magic isn’t such a barbaric thing at all.”

Rin Tohsaka chimed in, though she had also been a little tempted by Kyoya Fujimaru's self-created "rock-exploding magic" these past few days.

"Alright, I'll create my own magic trick soon."

Fujimaru Kyoya's words piqued Rin Tohsaka's curiosity. After all, changing some minor details of magic tricks doesn't count as creating your own magic trick.

"Interesting, go ahead and show me."

Kirei Kotomine's clothes were blessed by the church, and his magical abilities were top-notch for this era. If Kyoya Fujimaru were using magic, it would be easier for him.

Fujimaru Kyoya reluctantly took out a cat's eye stone. He had always adhered to the "free-to-play" philosophy when playing mobile games, but he never expected to end up as a pay-to-win player.

Magic is the manifestation of vitality; magic circuits are the unique simulated nerves of a magician.

These are all part of Fujimaru Kyoya's body, and "Demon Brain" has almost 100% control over the body.

Fujimaru Kyoya's magic circuits activated, and streams of magical energy began to stir. Then, with a burst of strength in his arm, Fujimaru Kyoya crushed the expensive cat's eye stone.

"Gemstone Shotgun".

Fujimaru Kyoya threw out the crushed cat's eye stone, the immense force causing it to impact Kirei Kotomine. And that wasn't all; the tiny dust particles exploded upon contact with Kirei Kotomine.

"Boom!"

A huge cloud of smoke appeared; if it weren't for the magic tricks that drive away onlookers nearby, it would probably have been surrounded by onlookers.

"Nice."

"Nice my ass, this isn't gem magic at all."

Rin Tohsaka could easily see that this so-called "jewel shotgun" was simply a matter of pouring a large amount of magical power into the shattered cat's eye stone, ultimately destabilizing its internal structure and causing an explosion.

While it's powerful, it's definitely not "elegant" at all.

Rin Tohsaka began to regret it. The existence of Kyoya Fujimaru would be a disgrace to the Tohsaka family's history. Their family's jewel magic, passed down through generations, was finally going to become "exploding stone magic."

"Ahem~ What an interesting magic trick! Where did you get the inspiration for this magic trick?"

Compared to Rin Tohsaka's helpless retort, Kirei Kotomine, who took the hit head-on, has more to say. This unconventional magic is certainly not "elegant," but its destructive power is quite remarkable.

This reminded Kirei Kotomine of the man who was already dead—Kiritsugu Emiya.

"Inspiration? Probably... from the art of imitating martial arts."

This has absolutely nothing to do with the art of imitating physical forms.

Not only Rin Tohsaka, but even Kirei Kotomine was silently complaining in his heart.

“Imitative boxing is a style of boxing that imitates animals, but I think a pistol is much more powerful than an animal, so why don’t we just imitate a pistol?”

"How can a human imitate a machine, you bastard?"
