Zongman: Evolution Paradise

Jolyne's method of identifying acquaintances is basically based on their hair color, eye color, body shape, status, and clothing style. The twin tails and the way she looked at him confirmed that it was Rin Tohsaka.

After finishing the inspection, Jolyne was about to leave when Rin Tohsaka frowned and called out to him, "Why didn't Sakura come today?"

“Grandpa had health problems, so she took him to the hospital.”

Jolyne explained that Medea, who was standing next to her, gave her a psychological suggestion that she wouldn't consider the truth of the matter or bother Matou Sakura through her phone.

"I see."

Rin Tohsaka nodded without asking any further questions and continued checking the documents of the students behind her.

"Medea, did you notice anything unusual about the school?"

Jolyne asked Medea, who was looking around the school grounds with a furrowed brow.

"I didn't sense any magic tricks or similar methods, but these students' mental states seemed off, showing signs of being distorted in a short period of time."

Medea glanced at the students in the school and explained to Jolyne.

"In that case, I don't really want to go in."

Jolyne stood at the school gate, not going in directly, but waiting for Yukino Yukinoshita to arrive with Saber.

Jolyne is accompanied by assassins, mages, and healers. If Saber, a warrior, were to join them, they would be even safer to enter the school, regardless of the situation.

Not long after, Yukino Yukinoshita brought Saber to the school and found Jolyne standing at the school gate.

"Are there players inside?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked Jolyne, confirming her guess.

“That’s right.” Jolyne nodded and added, “If the enemy player is weak, I’ll have Medea use magic to disperse the crowd and force him to leave right here.”

“No problem, Saber will stay by my side.”

Yukino Yukinoshita readily agreed. Fuyuki City wasn't exactly a scenic spot, and if it were a normal Fuyuki City, she could even gain some extra magical benefits.

Why stay in Fuyuki City, a place without supernatural abilities and where you can't leave? Why not finish the game and go back to the main world?

The Heroic Spirits became invisible in their spirit form, and Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita walked towards the school.

The students around her were indeed not in a good mental state, just as Medea had said.

I walked along the road in a daze, pausing every now and then, my eyes constantly following the direction of the crowd, as if searching for something.

Upon seeing Yukino Yukinoshita disguised as Taiga Fujimura, she made no attempt to greet him.

"I have already summoned the Caster from the Holy Grail War. I don't know what class is responsible for this situation."

If it were a normal Holy Grail War, only a Caster could have such an effect, but Medea has already said it's not the influence of magic, so it can only be the power brought by the player.

Following the crowd, Jolyne noticed that their gazes were all focused on Shinji Matou's classroom.

A man wearing glasses walked out of the classroom, instantly causing a commotion among the students and teachers.

"I'm about to start class. Everyone, please go back now so as not to disrupt the students' classes."

He looked at Jolyne, clapped his hands, and urged the crowd to disperse, unconcerned about revealing the Command Seals on the back of his hand.

"Is he provoking us?" Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Jolyne with some confusion. "It seems that this is the player who came to hunt you down. What grudge do you have against him that he is not even willing to wait?"

"How would I know? He just killed Muzan Kibutsuji. The equipment he picked up didn't seem to be worth much to him."

Looking into the eyes of this player and sensing that his physical attributes were in no way inferior to his own, Jolyne answered Yukino Yukinoshita's question with a sarcastic remark.

Just as a martial arts master can tell whether someone is a master or not, when intelligence reaches a certain level, even without skills, one can still sense something.

Things like murderous intent, fighting spirit, and threats—those rather abstract concepts.

Jolyne never thought she could hide as an ordinary person, but she never expected to be facing that player so soon.

According to the common sense of most movies, shouldn't you have to defeat other enemies along the way before you can face the final boss?

Movies are indeed all lies.

Including previous titles like Highschool of the Dead and Demon Slayer, Jolyne's game version has always been Paradise Speed.

Now that he had been discovered, Jolyne withdrew from Medea's magical effects and revealed her own Command Seals in response to his provocation.

He pushed up his square-framed glasses with his finger, a slight smile appearing on his lips, and turned away to go back to the classroom.

"This isn't just a matter of provocation anymore; it's a matter of utter contempt for you, Master?"

Medea was somewhat pleased with Jolyne's humiliation. She mocked Jolyne while continuing her actions, unleashing waves of magical energy that spread outwards with the power of a sorcerer, instantly activating a spell to disperse the crowd.

The students and teachers who were still in turmoil because of Souichirou Kuzuki's appearance all turned around, influenced by magic, and began to leave the school grounds in various ways.

"My first battle in this other world, Master, I'll do my best!" Lily said shyly, clinging to Jolyne's arm.

Medusa drew her chained short sword and stood beside Saber.

Upon seeing the four Heroic Spirits appear in her place, Yukino Yukinoshita's previously composed expression turned blank with confusion upon seeing the enemy player.

"Wait a minute, who is this Heroic Spirit?"

Chapter 171 The first confrontation

"I am Master's Servant, Lily. Please take care of me from now on."

Lily pointed to herself with a cute gesture, introducing herself to Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Another Servant?"

Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat puzzled. Jolyne already had three Servants. Was the rule of one Master and one Servant in the Holy Grail War meant to be broken?

As the magic began, the crowd fled the area of ​​Homurahara School in various ways. Jolyne waited for a moment until she could no longer hear any sound.

"Let's go." Saber took the lead, ready to have a knightly duel with the enemy Heroic Spirit, but was quickly pulled back by Yukino Yukinoshita.

Looking at Medea, Yukino Yukinoshita asked her, "Medea, is anyone still at the school?"

“There is another being, but judging from their level of magic, they are not an ordinary person,” Medea replied.

"In that case, let's give him a welcoming ceremony."

Jolyne commanded, "Knowing that the other side was already inside, why did you run in to fight? Are you planning to walk into someone else's trap?"

Where the battle begins is not something the other side can decide.

"no problem."

Medea's lips curled into a sinister smile as she raised one arm, endless magic surging from it and creating wind pressure around it. A ball of magic, resembling a miniature sun, was also being compressed and formed.

"Go." As Medea spoke, the attack appeared instantly in front of the teaching building, followed by a massive explosion, with rampant magic destroying everything.

The building collapsed, the ground caved in, and a large section of the place called Suiqunyuan School was missing.

Good news! Students at Suigunhara no longer need to attend classes.

The bad news is that, according to the "no harm without smoke" principle, no one will die from this attack.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and the sounds of collapsing building debris could be heard from within. In addition, there were heavy footsteps, so conspicuous in the aftershocks of the explosion, each step seemingly treading on the heart of the enemy.

"My name is Kuzuki Soichiro."

"I was originally planning to give you a lesson."

"By the way, you are really rude."

With the sound of footsteps, Soichiro Kuzuki's voice carried through the air. As he finished speaking, he emerged from the dust and smoke, unharmed, and adjusted his square-framed glasses.

“First of all, there’s no need for class. Secondly,” Jolyne looked at the pursuer, sighed, and asked, “What did I do to offend you that you’re suddenly chasing after me?”

After thinking for a moment, Kuzuki Souichirou actually gave Jolyne an explanation.

"I promised Muzan that once she successfully overcomes her weakness of fearing sunlight as a demon, I would go back and take her away from the world of Demon Slayer."

Muzan's original mission was to overcome his fear of sunlight in order to leave as a follower. However, the flaws of the Demon King's bloodline in Demon Slayer were difficult to resolve without bringing him to Paradise.

Trapped in this deadly situation, Muzan Kibutsuji remained in the world of Demon Slayer, constantly searching for a way to resolve the flaws.

"A real man's word is his bond, I understand that principle, but did you know that Muzan Kibutsuji is a man?"

Jolyne asked with a strange expression.

The language spoken in Fuyuki City in the Fate world is Japanese, which is the neon language of the main world. Souichirou Kuzuki also speaks in this language.

In Japanese, the pronunciation of "he" and "she" is different. Listening to what Souichirou Kuzuki meant, Jolyne inexplicably felt that he might not have figured out Muzan Kibutsuji's gender composition.

“I know that.”

Kuzuki Soichiro said calmly.

"Wait a minute, you wouldn't be?" Jolyne looked at Souichirou Kuzuki with some surprise. Could this guy know that Muzan Kibutsuji could be both male and female, and even have fallen in love with him?

"It's just a matter of gender. As a player, it's a good experience to give it a try."

Soichiro Kuzuki said without any hesitation.

Jolyne and Yukino Yukinoshita exchanged a glance, their faces twitching slightly.

"The Great Emperor of Sorrowful Wind!"

Although Soichiro Kuzuki's reasons for chasing Jolyne were legitimate, it still sounded somewhat strange that a man would chase after another man for the man he loved.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "That sounds interesting. Jolyne, why don't you give it a try? Maybe it will open the door to a new world."

Jolyne: "...How about I send you to Valhalla and see if they can give you a gender change?"

Saber looked somewhat confused, but Lily, Medea, and Medusa understood, given that there were far too many gods in Greek mythology who were known for their nonsensical behavior.

Zeus would transform into various animals or mortal figures to seduce human women, such as transforming into a bull to seduce Europa and a swan to seduce Leda.

Cronus devoured his own children out of fear of being overthrown by them.

The sky god's handle fell into the sea, and Venus, the goddess of love, was born.

Besides, there's more. Compared to the Greek mythology, which is even more mind-blowing than the story of Muzan Kibutsuji, Souichirou Kuzuki's liking for Muzan Kibutsuji is somewhat normal.

At least in Medea's eyes, there seemed to be nothing strange about it.

"Alright, I won't ask you whether you prefer the female version of Muzan, the male version of Muzan, or the hermaphrodite version of Muzan. Let's get back to the fight-to-the-death channel."

Jolyne sighed, ending the discussion about the reasons for their impending life-or-death struggle. Looking at the aura emanating from Souichirou Kuzuki's charisma, she said seriously, "By the way, the real Souichirou Kuzuki isn't as effeminate as you. Whether it's your face or the way you speak, you really look like the one who was pinned down by Muzan Kibutsuji."

“Oh, I think I know why you like Muzan Kibutsuji…” Jolyne looked at Souichirou Kuzuki with an understanding gaze.

As the progenitor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji is able to control the composition of his own flesh and blood.

Faced with such a suggestive provocation, Kuzuki Souichirou's expression remained unchanged; he simply pushed up his square-framed glasses.

"You are indeed very rude."

As soon as he finished speaking, Souichirou Kuzuki appeared in front of Jolyne, his hand forming a fist and aimed at Jolyne's mouth. The punch, made purely of power, brought wind pressure and shimmered with a metallic sheen in the sunlight.

The next moment, the swift Medusa drew her short sword and collided with Souichirou Kuzuki's fist. The short sword, which was almost a Noble Phantasm, not only failed to cut through flesh and blood, but instead burst forth with the color of metal.

With just a slight confrontation, Medea's magic erupted, transforming into a magic that resisted the magic ring, temporarily forcing Souichirou Kuzuki to retreat.

"So what if you're rude? You're going to die in this Holy Grail War anyway."

Jolyne pointed at the player who called himself Kuzuki Souichirou and calmly announced.

His skill is called "Eliminate Evil to the End." Muzan Kibutsuji deserves to die, and this player who came to avenge Muzan Kibutsuji also deserves to die. After that, if anyone else comes to seek revenge, just keep killing them.

Jolyne will only have one regret: that she failed to wipe out the enemy completely!

Chapter 172 Thunderbolt?

"You really dare to say that. Didn't your teachers tell you to show respect to your seniors?"

"No matter what organization you're from, if you're a high-level player, you're doomed to die before me."

After capturing Makoto Ito, Souichirou Kuzuki also learned that this was a level 3 game. His reaction went from indifference to astonishment, then from astonishment to silence, and finally back to his expressionless face.

"To be able to kill someone like Muzan Kibutsuji at level 3, he must be a pro player specially trained by some organization. But so what..."

In a sense, Soichiro Kuzuki himself was among the most outstanding.

As for why this player, specially trained by a large organization, didn't have any items specifically for hiding information or protecting himself from being hunted down, Kuzuki Souichirou guessed that he was too confident in his own strength.

He had seen many people like Da Ming.
