Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Ryudou Kazunari is a student in Class 2-C of Homurahara High School and serves as the student council president. He is classmates with Emiya Shirou, Matou Shinji, and Goto Kawai. His homeroom teacher is Fujimura Taiga, the English teacher at Homurahara High School.

I met Shirou when I was in first grade, and we quickly became very good friends.

When he was in the student council, he was a completely different person from his usual tolerant self. He became a ghost-like student council president, a ghost-like presence within the student council.

She is very popular among the girls at school. Despite the school rule against running in the hallways, she will never do so, no matter how urgent the situation.

She works enthusiastically both in the morning and after school. She has always wanted to reform the unfair allocation of funds in the original student department of Suiqun, but her reform of club funding and activities has caused dissatisfaction among many sports-related clubs, leading to a tense relationship between the two sides.

He was troubled by the question of who would succeed him as student council president after he graduated. The lack of a successor meant that even if Ryudou Kazunari moved up to his third year, he would have to continue serving as student council president. He once complained to Emiya Shirou that if Emiya Shirou were his junior, he would want to hand over the position of student council president to Shirou.

Has school already let out?

"It's time to go home after school. I'm going home because I have nothing to do in the student council, but is there something wrong? From what I see, you seem to be looking up at the mountain."

"It's nothing. I just feel like going home."

"So you're skipping class and treating the teacher like an actor. Well, I was asking you why you were looking up at the mountain."

"Something came up. Yicheng, I have a question for you. Has anything strange happened lately?" Lin Yan thought that perhaps the student council president would notice some details that others might miss.

So I tentatively asked.

"Changes are common, but nothing major has changed. Life on the mountain is stable, and stability is the essence of daily life."

"I'm sorry, Ichisei. I'm serious."

"You're being very rude! I'm serious."

"Then it's me. I worried for nothing."

"Good that you understand. Would I joke around with Lin Yan?" Liu Dongyi, who was usually carefree and jovial, suddenly became somewhat serious.

"However, there have been changes, but what happened?"

"Changes, inside the temple!?"

"It's not on the mountain, it's the air inside the temple that's swirling. Although it seems to be someone my father knows, she's a rather troublesome guest. She's very beautiful, but not easy to deal with. Honestly, what's all this fuss about over a woman?"

Are there any nuns at Liudong Temple?

"No. She's a bit special. Although she was staying there until the wedding, she was indeed a very beautiful person. The way she drew water from the well left me speechless."

"Something's special about it, uh, is it 10%? Hey—, can you hear me?"

"No. Women are no good. I should cut off my lust and calm down." Lin Yan looked at Liu Dongyi's muttering to himself and wanted to laugh, but he managed to control himself.

Are you alright?

"No problem. He felt his cultivation was insufficient and wanted to improve further." Liu Dongyi, however, ignored his words, showing he was a person of character.

After saying that, he walked deeper into the town.

sunset.

The setting sun cast its glow on the courtyard, creating a unique and charming scene. At this time, Rin Tohsaka had not yet returned.

"Hmph! What? I won't lose! Tohsaka-san is an idiot, a bad kid."

"I wasn't talking about the taste of the food. I was saying that since this is what Fujimura-sensei calls the best dinner so far, wouldn't it be better to share it with everyone?"

"I don't think so. Didn't Tohsaka-san say that she didn't really want to eat Lin Yan's cooking?"

"Dinner was cooked by Lin Yan and me in turns, so of course I have the right to eat it, right? If you don't like it, let's ask Mr. Fujimura to cook it starting tomorrow."

"Your personality is such that you always attack people's vitals. Damn it, I don't remember having such an outrageous student. Every time Fujimura Taiga faces off against Tohsaka Rin, he always ends up losing miserably."

No wonder.

Fujimura Taiga's interpersonal skills are not as good as Tohsaka Rin's. She was "influenced" from a young age and is naturally not as naive as a typical girl.

"Sister Teng, there's plenty of food today, so there's no need to fight over it. I've prepared the food according to the number of people."

"I'm sorry, senior, isn't this a bit too much?" Matou Sakura said with some concern, having prepared a lot of food.

"The rice buckets for four people were stacked twice, which was obviously too much."

"It's not a rice bucket, it's a lunchbox. It's okay, today's main dish is rice, so we can make a little more. If there are any leftovers, we can make rice balls, which can also be our lunch tomorrow."

"Can I have some too? I don't like fried rice, but this is a different story. It looks like there's a lot of stuff in it, what is it?"

"It's basically mushroom fried rice. Although it contains fried food, it also uses yuzu to bring out the aroma, so it's quite complex."

"It's alright! In that case, I'll eat it all by myself, you guys just watch." Fujimura Taiga finished a bowl of rice in no time.

"Yes, that's fine. But there's no need to rush, there's food too, Sister Teng."

"It's alright! I'll eat Lin Yan's food; I won't give it to someone who just arrived these past two days." Fujimura Taiga snatched back his rice bowl without hesitation, speaking with a childish sullenness.

That look was really funny.

Sakura Matou was at a loss for words and felt somewhat embarrassed. Rin Tohsaka was also looking on in astonishment. After all, Taiga Fujimura sometimes really was like a child. Although he was the oldest and the guardian, his personality was no different from that of a child.

Saber, on the other hand, ate quietly, seemingly unconcerned, and showed no reaction to anything around her.

"Well then, senior, I'll take my leave."

"Sister Teng, please take good care of Sakura and deliver her home safely."

"I know, don't worry."

Dinner finally ended, and another day passed peacefully and unscathed—that was more important than anything else. Fujimura Taiga and Matou Sakura were also preparing to leave.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yan looked puzzled.

"Of course I'm confused. Most people wouldn't be able to move after eating that much food."

"Really? It's a little painful, but you can move once you swallow it?"

See you tomorrow. Don't stay up late.

Goodnight, senior.

"Good night.

Fujimura Taiga and Matou Sakura finally left, while Lin Yan returned to the living room. Tohsaka Rin and Saber were already waiting in the living room.

What do you want to say?

"There's something I want to tell you about something related to the other masters. This is one of the few things Saber has actively expressed interest in, and only things related to the Holy Grail War can attract Saber's attention. The most important thing isn't those trivial matters, but the war itself."

"Didn't you have something to say?"

"I'll get straight to the point. Today, I met with the cavalryman and her master."

"Meeting the cavalry's master...when was that?" Saber's emotions faltered for the first time as she looked at Rin Tohsaka. "Did you go too? Does that mean I was the only one kept in the dark? Is that right? Tell me."

One second passed.

Saber further explained.

"You said not to be angry, but I'm not angry. I'm just taken aback by Lin Yan's behavior. Complaining about what's past is useless. So, what happened, Lin Yan?"

"We met this afternoon. I only went with him because he said he wanted to talk to me; there was no intention to fight."

"You'll know once you see it. So, what kind of guy is the cavalry's master?"

"It wasn't just anyone, it was Shinji. He called me over while I was looking for the school's barrier."

"Is it really that Shinji? Saber has heard of Matou Shinji before. Lin Yan also mentioned this person before. According to his speculation at the time, Shinji is a hidden Master."

"Rider also listens to Shinji, and he also knows about the Holy Grail War. He said it's because the Matou family is a family of mages with a long history, is that right?"

“That’s true, but it’s impossible. The Matou family must have already run out of resources in the previous generation. No matter what, the children of the Matou family will not have magic circuits. That’s for sure.” Rin Tohsaka said with certainty, as she still had a significant advantage in terms of information channels.

"Shinji said the same thing. But he also said that only the knowledge remained. And only Shinji, as the eldest son, studied, so Sakura didn't know. However, Shinji might be lying. There are other things between them, just as I explained before. Sakura actually knows."

"Are there really such examples? I'm not very sure about what Rin Tohsaka told Lin Yan: can the status of a master be transferred?"

"It was my mistake. I should have paid more attention to Shinji. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let him set up the barrier."

Shinji said he didn't create the barrier around the school. He also said there was another owner in the school.

"There is indeed another master in the school whom we don't know. But Lin Yan, you don't believe Shinji when he says he didn't set up the barrier, do you?"

"No, I'm not that kind of person. Since Shinji is at school, I think there's a 50% chance he did it. The other 50% is probably the owner, whose identity is still unknown."

"What did you say to Shinji?" Saber asked.

"He asked me if I wanted to cooperate. Shinji doesn't seem to be planning to fight either. It looks like he's looking for someone he knows to cooperate with," Lin Yan explained to Saber, his tone extremely calm and composed.

"You wouldn't be working with Shinji, would you? Saber trusts Lin Yan's character and wouldn't cooperate with a despicable person like Matou Shinji."

"No, I refused, of course. I've already partnered with Tohsaka. Even if I were to respond, I'd have to discuss it with Tohsaka first, wouldn't I?"

"But did you say you refused?" Saber asked Lin Yan. She didn't have a good impression of Matou Shinji; he seemed like a hypocritical, cunning, and extremely perverted person.

"Yes." Lin Yan nodded.

“Your judgment is correct. I’m not saying this because Shinji is targeting me. That person is indeed not worth cooperating with, as you know.” Rin Tohsaka said at this moment.

"That's what Shinji said. In my opinion, Rider isn't a very strong Servant. He's not as strong as Berserker, and I don't think he has the same imposing presence as Lancer. Rider himself is also more normal than I thought."

"Since Master has this feeling, then it must be correct. However, a Servant's strength is influenced by their Noble Phantasm. Don't be careless until you understand who Rider is."

“I know exactly what kind of hero Rider is; she’s different from ordinary Servants.”

"Unlike ordinary Servants, is that right? I don't know why. Can Rin explain Lin Yan's feelings?"

"Yes, I know the reason. The nature of a Servant is influenced by the master who summons them. The master and the Servant are very similar people."

"In other words, a master of noble character will summon heroic spirits with similar personalities. Conversely, a person with deep sorrow will call upon others who share the same pain. This is why Lin Yan felt an unnatural sensation with Rider. A master with a twisted mind sometimes summons not heroes, but vengeful spirits that are close to heroic spirits."

"The vengeful spirit that is close to the Heroic Spirit, could it be what Tohsaka said before?"

“Yes. She’s the kind of killer who loves seeing blood and doesn’t care about killing. Actually, there are heroes who only leave behind a lot of killing legends, so it’s not surprising that someone like that would become a Servant.” Rin Tohsaka said, “Since you know her, why don’t you explain Rider to us?”

"Medusa's Noble Phantasm is also among the top of all Heroic Spirits. Since the power of her Master was transferred to Shinji by Sakura, who had no desire to fight, she has repeatedly served as Shinji Matou's Servant. Her weapon is a chain that is similar to a knife or a nail. She is agile in battle and is used to immobilizing enemies with her weapon and chain. She also has the Reins of the Heroic Spirit that allows the god-level phantom beast Pegasus to charge at enemies. Because the Mystic Eyes can turn people into stone statues, she usually uses the Mystic Eyes Noble Phantasm to cover her eyes..." Lin Yan gave a brief introduction to Medusa, but he paused and then said, "You still need to be careful of Medusa. She is not an easy character to deal with."

Saber nodded.

"Transfer? Is it really possible?" Rin Tohsaka muttered to herself. "I do know a little about this, but I've never witnessed it firsthand."

“Sakura used a single Command Seal to create the ‘Book of False Servants,’ transferring control of Rider. Therefore, Sakura is the true master of Rider. Even when Shinji is manipulating Rider, her actions consume Sakura’s magical energy.” Lin Yan had no choice but to state this fact, though he also wanted to save Matou Sakura.

She is innocent.

"The Book of False Ministers?" Actually, Rin Tohsaka had heard of the Book of False Ministers before.

"Is it really a book by a false minister?" She could give away a book by a false minister, but the reality still surprised her; someone would actually use a book by a false minister.

"This book was created by transferring Master privileges to another. Creating this book requires one Command Seal. Shinji's Command Seals for Rider are attached to the False Servants' Book. Normally, a Master's Command Seals are on their arm, but Shinji isn't Rider's true Master, so the Matou family transferred Sakura's Command Seals to the False Servants' Book. The False Servants' Book was created by using Command Seals on a book originally used for magical contracts. Its effect is the transfer of Master privileges to the Servant Rider. Therefore, it allows the Master to exercise 'rights as a Master other than the use of Command Seals.' Since it only applies to Rider, Rider's destruction is equivalent to the destruction of the book. Strictly speaking, it should be thought of as not the book possessing power, but rather the Command Seals applied to the book binding Rider. At the same time, the False Servants' Book also contains a certain amount of magical power, which Shinji can utilize to release some low-level magic."

Saber listened very attentively.

Rin Tohsaka understood and nodded.

Lin Yan continued.

"Alright, let's leave Rider's matter at that. There's one last thing, which might be the most important. Because, judging from what Rider said, it seems that Ryudo-sou also has an owner. That guy seems to be collecting magical energy from the people in town. What do you guys think about that?"

"Liudong Temple? Liudong Temple is the temple at the highest point of that mountain."

"What, did you think of something, Tohsaka?"

"How could that be? Quite the opposite. I've never been to Ryudo-ji Temple. Although I don't know who its owner is, generally speaking, they wouldn't use such a remote place as their base."

"Even if it doesn't attract attention, there are many monks living in the temple. If anything suspicious were done, I think it would cause a commotion immediately."

"That's still unbelievable. Even if that were true, Ryudouji Temple is in the far suburbs, right? Collecting magical energy from both the deep mountains and the new capital from there would be more of a waste of magical energy than a grand magic. Even if you used the collected magical energy, it would be impossible to perform such a large-scale magic." Rin Tohsaka's brows suddenly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something, but she remained calm and composed.

"If that temple were owned, magic of that level would naturally be performed."
