Is this Irisviel's true power?

Is this the ability that a soul traveling through the world should have?

Is the crisis that threatens to destroy the earth just a trivial matter that can be easily resolved?

As Saber was amazed, Irisviel sighed softly and said:

"What a pity!"

She had originally planned to use this Holy Grail War to get to the root of the problem, but because of the interference of the beasts of original sin and Chaos, this Holy Grail War was ruined. Even the remaining black mud in Yuanzang Mountain was used by her as energy to open the barrier of time and space. It was because of this that she was able to obtain the power of Uchiha Izumi and defeat Chaos's clone.

Chapter 220 The Creation of Chaldea

As she slowly fell from the air with Saber, Irisviel also lost all the power from Uchiha Izumi. Whether it was the Samsara Eye or the chakra, all the power from the other world just turned into nothingness. After falling, the beasts of original sin on Saber also left one by one, and everything seemed to be over.

After several days, in the Einzbern castle.

As Goetia left, Sesshōin Kiara fled to an unknown place. The remaining beasts of original sin also gave up the Holy Grail War because of Irisviel, so the Holy Grail War ended. However, although the Holy Grail War ended, the impact of the beasts of original sin and Chaos on the world has not dissipated for a long time.

At least for the parties involved in the Holy Grail War, whether it was Emiya Kiritsugu or Malis Billy, all the magi who had witnessed that earth-shattering battle, no matter how different their personalities were, united together to create Chaldea, an organization that defends human principles. In the middle of the crowd that wanted to create Chaldea, a little girl almost collapsed and said:

"I quit!"

Upon hearing this, Irisviel looked over curiously, and saw Olgamari, the alien god, covering her head with a look of despair, and sitting next to Olgamari was Saber, the king.

Although the Holy Grail War has ended, Saber and Berserker have not left the battlefield. Relying on the magic power provided by Irisviel, who is a cyborg, the two heroic spirits still remain in the world. At this time, she was holding a stack of things and said to Olga Marie:

"If you want to become the head of Chaldea, you must first consider the maintenance of this organization. As a large international magician organization, you must recruit a large number of members. Now the question is, if there is not enough funds, how can you let your subordinates work? You have to know that only a few people work for their ideals, and most people work just to support their families."

Olga Marie looked dumbfounded when she heard Saber's story. It was obvious that she, who had dreamed of becoming the director of Chaldea, had now been hit hard by reality. For the first time, she realized that the position of the director of Chaldea looked glamorous, but in reality it was much more complicated than she had imagined.

"If you can solve the funding problem, then the next thing to solve is the philosophy problem. As a large international magic organization, if you want to keep it going, you can't just rely on money. Because money can only hire mediocre people, it can't buy true loyalty."

"If you want Chaldea to have the fighting power, you must give it a will and a soul. You must let everyone in Chaldea know why they are fighting. Only when this problem is solved will Chaldea have the fighting power!"

"Of course, in addition to funding and ideas, relationships with other organizations also need to be considered. I must say..."

As a king, Saber kept telling her the tips on being a leader.

As she continued to talk, Olga Marie, the alien god, finally broke down!

"I'm done!"

“Why, why is it so difficult to set up Chaldea? I have to take care of everything, from eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, sleeping, etc. What’s the point of being the director of Chaldea like this? I quit!”

As the former King of Britain, Saber shared many experiences about establishing and maintaining an organization in front of everyone. Although these things were not as interesting as legendary stories, they were actually the true study of emperors and were of great significance to the establishment of Chaldea.

Therefore, when Saber was giving Olga Marie a lesson, both Marisbury and Emiya Kiritsugu listened very carefully. Only a simple student like Waver, who has not really entered the society, would not comment on Saber's teachings and could not understand the importance of these teachings. However, even if he could not understand, Waver, as a good student, still chose to keep Saber's words in mind.

"In short, if you want to create and maintain an organization, the most important thing is the material foundation. The material foundation here does not only refer to money, but also a continuous and stable supply of various materials including money. In addition to the material foundation, the most important thing for an organization is spiritual belief. For example, if we cannot make the members of Chaldea aware of the disaster that humanity will face in the future, do you think the members of Chaldea will work hard for this organization?"

Looking at Saber, who was talking in the middle of the crowd and describing her own ideas for governing the country, and then looking at Olga Marie, who looked devastated beside her, Irisviel felt amused. It was a pity that this alien god wanted to become the director of Chaldea. Now he knows what it means that ideals are full and reality is skinny!

After Saber finished explaining the general framework and division of responsibilities of an organization, Marisbili pondered:

“It is said that in other parallel worlds, I was able to create Chaldea by making a wish after winning the Holy Grail War. But now there is only a mass of black mud in Mount Enzo in Fuyuki City. Even if we win the Holy Grail War, we cannot make a wish. I don’t know how to raise the funds to create Chaldea. Otherwise, the property of our Animusphia family alone is far from enough!”

As he spoke, Marisbilly scratched his head in annoyance, then looked at Weber and asked:

"Your teacher, Kenneth, is also one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower. The Archibald family has been a noble family for hundreds of years and should have accumulated a lot of wealth! If you persuade the Archibald family as a student to contribute a portion of their family property, the combined wealth of our two families should be enough to form the early organization of Chaldea!"

Hearing Marisberry's proposal, Weber said awkwardly:

"Well, I heard that Kenneth-sensei has spent almost all of his property on this Holy Grail War, and even owed a lot of debt! So in terms of funds, the Archibald family has no way to deal with it."

what?

Hearing Weber's words, Marisbury was stunned and said:

“The Archibald family has been a noble family for hundreds of years, and they spent all their money in one Holy Grail War? You are kidding me!”

Emiya Kiritsugu explained:

"He spent a huge amount of money to build a magic workshop in the high-end hotel where he stayed in order to prepare for this Holy Grail War. It was capable of defending against attacks by Heroic Spirits."

"As expected of Kenneth, he can actually build such a magic workshop in a strange city!"

Even though he was also the monarch of the Clock Tower, Marisbury began to admire Kenneth's talent. After all, he was a Heroic Spirit, a being that ordinary magicians could never reach even if they spent their entire lives trying.

But "Since Kenneth built such an amazing magic workshop, why didn't I see its power in this Holy Grail War?" Marisbury asked puzzledly.

"It's very simple. Because I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy 600 kilograms of high explosives and blew up that high-end hotel directly!"

After hearing Emiya Kiritsugu's explanation, even Marisbury fell into a daze.

The Archibald family's inheritance of hundreds of years, coupled with the meticulous design of Kenneth, a child prodigy of magic, built a miracle workshop comparable to that of a heroic spirit, but it was demolished by Kiritsugu Emiya with just a few hundred thousand dollars!

This attack method of Emiya Kiritsugu was undoubtedly a huge shock to a traditional magician like Marisbury. Marisbury couldn't help but think of Weber's paper and said helplessly:

"Weber, if it were for some mad dogs, your original point of view actually made some sense."

Weber's paper argues that a magician can become an excellent magician through acquired efforts even if he lacks magical talent and magic circuits. This theory is obviously contrary to the current mainstream bloodline theory of the Clock Tower, and is also what aristocratic magicians like Kenneth despise the most.

But reality has undoubtedly proved that the viewpoint of Weber's thesis is correct. If nothing else, just look at the performance of Kiritsugu Emiya in this Holy Grail War, which is enough to prove that excellent bloodline and circuits are not enough to determine the outcome of a battle.

In this Holy Grail War, what completely defeated the Archibald family's hundreds of years of inheritance for nine generations was not some high-level magic, nor some mysterious and powerful heroic spirit, but the simplest and most brutal method of blowing up a building!

Although Emiya Kiritsugu didn't know what academic research was, he proved the correctness of Weber's thesis with iron-clad facts in this Holy Grail War. There was no need for acquired efforts, perhaps just a change of thinking, and even an ordinary person could defeat a top-level magician with bloodline and inheritance.

Of course, Kayneth could also say that he was a noble scientific researcher, and that fighting was not his main job. The most important thing for a magus was to make his own contribution in research and keep getting closer to the root. Since he was not very good at fighting, it was normal for him to be brutally abused by a professional like Emiya Kiritsugu in this Holy Grail War.

But Kenneth is the prodigy of the Magic Bell Tower after all, and he also has his own pride in his bones!

Losing is losing. Maris Billy knew that Kenneth would not allow himself to fail, but he would not deceive himself and say that he had not actually lost after failing!

Seeing that the Archibald family had become poor, Marisbury had no choice but to place his hopes for initial funding on Kiritsugu Emiya. Then Kiritsugu Emiya also said:

"I have also spent all my savings to prepare for this Holy Grail War."

Seeing that everyone around him was poor, Marisbury fell into despair. If they wanted to form an international magic organization like Chaldea, they couldn't just rely on the wealth of one family, right? This was an organization used to protect human rights, and it was not something that one or two noble families could afford!

Seeing Marisbury in trouble, Saber asked with some doubt:

"How can an international organization like this be created by just a few families? Even if you don't consider the international impact, you should at least seek sponsorship from a major country! Without the support of the state machinery, how can a makeshift team protect human rights?"

"Among the five major powers today, Russia is a loser and can't take care of itself, Shenzhou has stopped because of economic development, France and England are also in a state of decline, but the United States is now in its heyday! In order to protect the future of mankind, shouldn't the United States, as the world's strongest country, take on this responsibility? With the financial resources and influence of the United States, it should be easy to support Chaldea!"

Hearing Saber's suggestion, Marisbili laughed disdainfully:

"The United States? Saber, you are an ancient after all! As for those bastards in the United States, it's ok to let them rob oil, but protecting the earth is totally overthinking!"

As a traditional English noble, although Marisbury was not as conservative as Kenneth, he was equally dismissive of the United States! He thought that the Americans were just a bunch of warmongers and upstarts who had not done anything good in the two hundred years since the founding of the country.

Although they are the same as England.

"Besides, the United States is currently busy fighting a war for oil, so it has no interest in establishing a magic organization!"

"What about Germany and the Far East? Especially the Far East, whose economic output is now the second largest in the world! With its financial resources, it can even support Chaldea!"

In response to this, Emiya Kiritsugu, who is from the Far East, also shook his head and said:

"Impossible! The Far East is now a semi-colony of the United States. Without the approval of the United States, it is impossible for the Far East to form any international organization!"

Seeing that everyone was in trouble, Irisviel suggested:

"Actually, you can choose Shenzhou."

Shenzhou?

Everyone was stunned by Irisviel's proposal. It was only 1995, and Shenzhou was still a group of poor people! Wouldn't it be efficient to let them form Chaldea?

Then, Irisviel said:

"I come from another world, and I know the future development trend of this world. Our previous analysis was based on the current situation, but in fact, the creation of Chaldea should take into account the future situation! If the poor Shenzhou can rise in a dozen years and become an economic power that can keep pace with the United States, then we can definitely raise a lot of funds by taking advantage of this future trend!"

In the next 25 years, China's economic output will increase by dozens of times, and it will become the world's number one industrial power at lightning speed, and start a new round of competition with the United States. If you can invest in China now, the future profit rate of return is simply unimaginable! It is truly a win-win situation.

"Not only that, since the disintegration of the red giant in the north, the relationship between Shenzhou and the United States has taken a sharp turn for the worse. I originally thought that under the high pressure of the United States, Shenzhou would only fall from grace, but now it seems that I underestimated Shenzhou and overestimated the United States."

Marisbury also said:

"If Shenzhou can really become a country that can rival the United States in the future, then we can definitely use Shenzhou's power to form Chaldea."

Seeing that everyone had an idea, Irisviel immediately told them all the important historical events in her memory. However, she was not a history enthusiast after all, and she didn't know much about the details of many historical events, so she could only give a rough idea of many things. But even so, this information was a huge treasure for Emiya Kiritsugu and others.

"So that's how it is. In the future, China will face so many hardships and challenges because of the suppression of the United States!" Marisbili thought:

"I think if we had approached Shenzhou at that time and discussed the establishment of Chaldea with them, they would have agreed without a second thought! Facing the huge threat from the United States, Shenzhou at that time would be eager for any method that could enhance the country's strength, even if it was magic."

"But I heard that Shenzhou's 749th Bureau and 501st Department should not be underestimated. We have to be careful when dealing with Shenzhou, otherwise..."

With Irisviel's reminder, everyone present immediately had an idea about the establishment of Chaldea. After everyone discussed it enthusiastically for half a day, the initial idea of Chaldea's establishment was also determined. That is to take advantage of the future development trend of Shenzhou to establish an international magic organization that protects human nature!

Chapter 221 Academy City

In the far east of the Magical Index world, there is a place called Academy City. There are 230 million people here, % of whom are students. At first glance, it is just an enlarged university town, nothing special.

After all, in China alone, there are more than 20 million college students, and any larger city has more than 100,000 or 200,000 college students. A place like Academy City, with a population of only over 2 million and 80% of the students being non-college students, should be just an ordinary large school gathering place.

But the reality is that Academy City is not ordinary at all. Although Academy City has only 230 million people, % of whom are students, Academy City has technology that is to years ahead of the world.

This is unusual! Very unusual!

The population of Academy City is only 230 million, 100% of which are students. Even if half of these 130% of students have the ability to conduct scientific research, the number of people who can engage in scientific research in the entire Academy City is at most about 200 million. In comparison, the number of scientific researchers in the United States alone exceeds 600 million, and the number of scientific researchers in China exceeds million. The number of scientific researchers in the entire world excluding Academy City is at least more than million.

So, here comes the question. Let’s not talk about how Academy City can support nearly half of its scientific researchers with a population of only 230 million. Even if Academy City can do it, how can the 100 million scientific researchers in the urban area of Academy City crush the 600 million scientific researchers in the world and make Academy City’s technology level lead the world by nearly to years?

You have to know that the number of researchers outside is 6 times that of Academy City, and the resources controlled by researchers outside are more than a thousand times that of Academy City. So according to common sense, Academy City's technological level cannot be to years ahead of the world.

But this is where the unusual thing happens, Academy City really did it!

In the absence of major breakthroughs in basic science, in the absence of a major outbreak of Nobel Prize-level scientists, in the absence of huge capital flows and scientific research bases in Academy City, and even in the absence of an official knowledge of whether a large hadron collider exists, Academy City has managed to raise its technological level to a point that is 20 to 30 years ahead of the rest of the world.

All of this goes against common sense and is abnormal to the point of being almost weird.

Moreover, Academy City's anomalies don't stop there. Not only do they have technology that is 20 to 30 years ahead of the world, they have even come up with something that has caused scientists all over the world to lose their hair and still be unable to understand.

That is——a person with super powers.

According to Academy City, super powers are something that is created with the help of Schrödinger's cat and a little quantum mechanics. But if you think deeply about its specific theory, you will only feel that even if Schrödinger and Planck were reincarnated, they might not be able to understand it. After all, super powers are not scientific at all, and even a bit sci-fi!

But none of this matters. What matters is that Academy City not only has technology that is 20 to 30 years ahead of the rest of the world, but it has also developed superpowers. Because of the existence of superpowers, the already extremely abnormal Academy City becomes even more abnormal, and everyone thinks that this city should not exist in the world. So for ordinary people, the best way to deal with an abnormal place like Academy City is to stay away from it.

Of course, if you did not stay away from Academy City, but accidentally became a member of the extremely abnormal Academy City, you must be very careful to survive in such a strange and abnormal place, otherwise you might not even know how you died.

For example, Misaka Mikoto in this world almost died in the laboratory at a young age because of an accident in an experiment. That's why she was noticed by Uchiha Izumi outside this world, and then merged with the part of her soul that was separated from her. At the cost of losing herself, she got the chance to continue living.

The reason why Uchiha Izumi chose to descend into the world of Magical Index was because of her research results in the Type-Moon world. In the Type-Moon world, she merged with Irisviel from multiple parallel worlds and participated in hundreds of Holy Grail Wars. Although most of the Holy Grail Wars failed, the few successful cases allowed Uchiha Izumi to successfully peek into the root cause.

It's just that the concept of the origin itself is too huge, which has exceeded Uchiha Izumi's ability to understand. Even though Uchiha Izumi has integrated a large number of parallel worlds, including Kocho Shinobu from the Demon Slayer world and Irisviel from the Type-Moon world, her calculation ability is still too small in front of the huge concept of the origin.

So in order to improve her computing ability, Uchiha Izumi set her sights on the Magical Index world. She wanted to use the brains of Level 5 in the Magical Index world to improve her computing ability, and then understand the root cause and see through the truth of everything. And in Uchiha Izumi's continuous observation, the one she chose was none other than Misaka Mikoto from the Magical Index parallel world.

Of course, Uchiha Izumi wanted to merge with Misaka Mikoto from more than one world. There are countless parallel worlds in the Magical Index, and Othinus alone created thousands of parallel worlds. So after merging Misaka Mikoto from a parallel world, Uchiha Izumi immediately shifted his attention to other worlds. As Uchiha Izumi's avatar in this world, Misaka Mikoto from this world continued to live in the Magical Index world with her original identity.

The only difference from the original animation is that as Uchiha Izumi's clone, she is much more mature than her counterparts in other worlds. Because she was only Level 3 during the ability development experiment, Misaka Mikoto has always maintained her level at Level 3. It's not that she wants to pretend to be a grandson, but just to avoid trouble.

After all, the world of Magical Index is very complicated, and Level 5 is nothing in the original work. Misaka Mikoto is not interested in getting involved in the right and wrong of the Magical Index world. She just wants to protect the people who are close to her in the Magical Index world and stop the boring absolute ability user experiment in the original work. That's all.

It’s not that she is cold-hearted, it’s just that the setting of the demon in the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index is too outrageous!

Let alone Misaka Mikoto, even Uchiha Izumi, who had seen the source and grasped part of the truth, did not dare to say that he was absolutely sure to defeat the demon. Living in such a magic world, Misaka Mikoto naturally tried to avoid unnecessary disturbances as much as possible and just be a small figure in Academy City. I think those magicians in the magic world should not cause trouble to an obvious Level 3.

In this way, time passed slowly, and Misaka Mikoto, who maintained her Level 3 ability, was admitted to Tokiwadai Junior High School under the arrangement of her parents. Although she originally wanted to enter Kagawa Junior High School, after all, the name of Tokiwadai was too famous in Academy City. But in the end, she could not resist her mother's request, and Misaka Mikoto finally wore the school uniform of Tokiwadai.

"Electric shock user, Level 3!"

The teacher who was in charge of testing skills at Tokiwadai looked at the voltage value displayed on the equipment and said something calmly.

In front of the teacher was Misaka Mikoto, who was wearing a light sweater and a gray pleated skirt. At this time, she was still a first-year student at Tokiwadai, and was taking a superpower test with everyone. She was standing in front of the teacher, her mouth slightly open as if she was breathing heavily, with beads of sweat on her forehead, looking like she had consumed a lot of energy in the ability test.

Although there are many people with special abilities in Academy City, most of them are only Level 1 and Level 2. Level 3 is already an extremely excellent level. If an ordinary person has this level of superpowers, it is definitely a symbol of excellent quality. But for Tokiwadai, Level 3 is definitely not a good result. As the top school in Academy City, the admission standard of Tokiwadai is to have abilities of Level 3 or above. So in Tokiwadai, Level 3 means the last one.

"Misaka Mikoto-san."

Apparently, the teacher at Tokiwadai is not happy with Misaka Mikoto:

"I looked at your previous test records. It seems that you were already Level 3 in elementary school? Now you are already in the first year of junior high school. How come after so many years, your abilities have not improved at all?"

Facing the teacher's questioning, Misaka Mikoto did not refute or get angry, but just explained calmly:
