"I need to really get people away from me; I can't concentrate if people are watching me."

"Of course, I won't let anyone disturb me. If I'm surrounded by onlookers, who knows what kind of rumors will spread and become? Three men can make a tiger. Although Lin Yan isn't afraid of rumors, he doesn't want to get involved in any trouble."

It was over very quickly.

"I'm truly saved today. I will definitely repay you. Don't hesitate to ask me anything."

"That's true, I'll let you know if there's anything wrong. But I don't think it's anything special."

"Honestly, being too kind should be a reflection. Although Lin Yan saved us, I can't stand being bossed around by others. Helping others is a good thing, but shouldn't we be a little more selective? Lin Yan is too indiscriminate in his approach."

Am I that indiscriminate in choosing people?

"This is how idiots take advantage of you unintentionally. Lin Yan is also very busy, so it's okay for him to refuse other people's requests occasionally."

Lin Yan understood Yi Cheng's point of view, but he didn't want to disrupt the order of this world. Everyone's choices are like a drop of water in a long river, and once the river of fate takes a subtle turn, something might happen that even he, a man who has ascended to the pinnacle of the gods, couldn't control.

He is neither a theist nor an atheist.

If one had to categorize him, he was a Deist in his original world. Deism, a philosophical viewpoint that emerged in country A during the 17th and 18th centuries and in country B during the 18th century, primarily responded to the impact of Newtonian mechanics on traditional theological worldviews. This ideology held that God created the universe and the rules governing its existence, and that after that, God no longer influenced the development of the world, allowing it to exist and develop according to its own inherent laws.

The deism discussed here mainly refers to the views of Western monotheistic deists who have a Semitic monotheistic background and are influenced by it, rather than the views of deists with a polytheistic background, such as pan-deism.

Deism is a religious philosophy that interprets God as an impersonal cause, also known as rationalism.

Deism was first established by Herbert, a thinker from country A in the 17th century. Notable representatives include Toland, Hartley, Priestley, and John Locke. Enlightenment thinkers from country B in the 18th century, such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Rousseau, were also deists with certain materialistic tendencies.

Deism opposes obscurantism and mysticism, rejects superstition and various "miracles" that violate the laws of nature; it believes that God is the rational or intelligent will of the world; and it advocates replacing "divine revelation" with a natural religion. Due to the principle of separation of church and state, and in order to ensure that the scientific education system is not affected, most countries adopt a non-interference or neutral attitude towards religion; theocratic countries adopt a theistic attitude towards religion.

"Don't worry, Yicheng. I know myself best. Besides, helping people is a good deed, not something that will get me blamed by the temple's son."

"However, Lin Yan has gone too far; he will collapse if he continues like this."

"I take your advice. See you at school tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow then." Ichisei frowned, but didn't say anything more, and turned to leave. Lin Yan walked down the street at night, carefully observing his surroundings. There was no one around, and he couldn't even sense any human presence.

"That's true. Gas leaks and robbers have made things very dangerous. Although Lin Yan has no obligation to protect Matou Sakura, since he has already eaten the meal cooked by the girl herself, there is no need to refuse such a simple and easy thing to do. So he decided to take her home to prevent her from being in danger on her way home alone."

Suddenly, a figure was spotted on the slope.

"You'll die if you don't call out quickly, big brother." This was a very strange statement, and Lin Yan didn't encounter any problems before the figure disappeared.

They had arrived home, and Lin Yan entered the living room.

The aroma of dinner was enticing.

It's terrible that Matou Sakura and Fujimura-sensei are already here; the main dish is creamy chicken. Lin Yan doesn't really like this kind of food, but it's better than cooking it himself.

"Senior, you're back. Sorry, we'll eat first."

"I'm back. Sorry I'm late. I wish I had come back sooner."

"It's okay, there's still time. Wait a moment, I'll get ready right away."

"I'm going to wash my hands. I need to keep an eye on Sister Teng and make sure she doesn't eat other people's food."

"Yes, I'll keep a close eye on it." Lin Yan changed his clothes, washed his hands, and sat down. Although he hadn't been in this world for long, he seemed to have already gotten used to it; humans really are creatures with a strong ability to adapt. "It looks delicious."

"Yes, as long as it suits your taste. In just one year, Matou Sakura's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds. Only someone who loves cooking can be so dedicated. Interest is the best teacher. However, if possible, Lin Yan really hopes that she can study the cuisine of his hometown."

Other cuisines are also acceptable, after all, the eight major cuisines are truly the cuisines of a great nation.

Traditional culinary culture has a long history, and there are many different styles of cooking.

During the Qing Dynasty, four major cuisines emerged: Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, and Jiangsu. According to the order in Xu Ke's *Qing Bai Lei Chao*, later, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui cuisines also gradually gained fame, thus forming the "Eight Great Cuisines" of China: Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Anhui. The Chinese invented various cooking methods, including stir-frying (including quick-frying and braising), roasting (including stewing, simmering, braising, and marinating), pan-frying (including simmering and pan-frying), deep-frying (including boiling), boiling (including poaching, stewing, and simmering), steaming, roasting (including marinating, smoking, and air-drying), cold dishes, and drizzling.

"How was it, senior? I thought it was delicious today."

"Flawless, and the white sauce is superb. I can no longer compete with Sakura in Western cuisine."

"Ever since Sakura started cooking, dishes with meat have become tastier."

“No—Lin Yan, students can’t come back this late.” Fujimura suddenly looked up at Lin Yan and said. He had originally wanted to get away with it, but it seemed that he still couldn’t avoid a lecture.

"Honestly, you're helping someone else again, aren't you? That's a good thing, but you should come back early at times like this."

"Why not just talk about it at home instead of during tutor time?"

"Because you won't listen if I say it here, it's definitely more effective for Lin Yan if I say it at school."

"Teacher, I think that's an abuse of power and a blurring of the lines between public and private matters."

"No, it won't work for Lin Yan if we don't do it this way. You're always helping people, which is a loss for you. It would be good for you to just go home and relax once in a while, you idiot."

"What do you mean by 'idiot'? It doesn't matter. If helping someone helps them, they won't lose out."

"You're just like Kiritsugu. Lin Yan, your sister will worry about you if you keep this up." Fujimura said this while eating heartily, looking like he had a very good appetite.

"Fujimura-sensei, what you just said, has your senior always been like this?" Matou Sakura seemed very concerned about his past appearance, so she asked curiously.

"He's always been like that. He's the type who'll help someone in need. But it's not meddling; Lin Yan is just precocious."

"Sister Teng, I'll get angry if you say anything unnecessary. Sakura, don't ask any pointless questions either."

"Fujimura-sensei, please continue." Matou Sakura seemed to be listening with great interest; perhaps that's why she was so attentive to the affairs of someone she liked.

Even the most ordinary things can be listened to with such rapt attention.

"Lin Yan is the kind of person who can't help those in trouble, the kind who helps the weak fight against the strong. In his childhood essays, he wrote that his dream was to be on the side of justice. He would always go to the rescue if a girl was bullied by an older boy, and because Kiritsugu was lazy, he worked very hard to learn housework. He was so cute and innocent back then, how did he become such an awkward child? My sister is so sad. Sakura, another bowl."

Mr. Fujimura, who had a good appetite, had another bowl, but the atmosphere was better this way, and Lin Yan didn't want to get involved in any sentimental parts.

Dinner ended, and it was soon nine o'clock.

This time of day coincided with Shirou Emiya's usual training schedule, and Lin Yan followed the same routine, carrying out everything as before. He first took Sakura Matou back, and when he returned, it was nearly midnight.

He still needs to practice magic.

Sit cross-legged, adjust your breathing, empty your mind, disconnect from the outside world, and direct all your consciousness inward.

"Synchronize, begin." This is a spell, or perhaps a form of self-suggestion. However, Lin Yan also lacks magical markings and knowledge of magic.

"If I had the physique of One-Punch Man, then..." If Lin Yan had the physique of Saitama from One-Punch Man, I wonder if he could solve everything with a single punch.

However, Lin Yan didn't have high hopes, since it was possible that physical attacks couldn't break through magic.

In this world, there is an unwritten concept of the five great magics.

The First Magic: One of the oldest forms of magic, but its details are unknown. Its contents appear to be common knowledge to a select group of privileged magicians. Although the user of the First Magic is deceased, it is rumored that his direct descendants are still alive.

The Second Magic: A magic that allows one to observe countless parallel worlds and travel freely between them. The user was Kishua Zelrich Schbein'ogu. He used this magic to create a jeweled sword that absorbed magic power from other worlds, and a box capable of holding a large number of items, among other things.

The Third Magic: The Materialization of the Soul, in other words, the magic to achieve complete immortality. Upon completion, it will grant an inexhaustible source of magical power due to the perpetual motion of the soul. This magic is a family heirloom of the Einzberns, and the Holy Grail War system was constructed to realize it.

The Fourth Magic: Like the First Magic, its details are unknown. Its contents have not been passed down. However, all existing mages unanimously acknowledge its existence, stating, "It certainly exists." Furthermore, the name of the user is also unknown.

The Fifth Magic: The Wandering Magician Aozaki Aoko inherited her magic from her grandfather. Her alias is "Magic? Blue." While Aozaki Aoko's abilities as a magician are mediocre, she excels in destruction. Local gossip suggests that "Magic? Blue" might also be a magic related to destruction, judging from her characteristics.

However, there seems to be a theory about a sixth magic.

The "Sixth Law" is also an unknown concept, currently regarded as a new kind of magic, and some speculate that it is related to "creation".

Normally, the human body doesn't have nerves that circulate magical energy. To create simulated nerves and temporarily alter them requires a concentrated power to control one's body and all nerves. Magic is a battle with oneself. For example, at this moment, it feels like a red-hot iron rod is being pierced into Lin Yan's spine. That iron rod is the only magical circuit I can prepare. Only when this circuit is connected deep within the body and linked to other nerves can Lin Yan use magic. This isn't a metaphor; in reality, there are invisible and intangible, fiery-stick-like objects slowly being inserted into Lin Yan's spine.

Strictly speaking, Kiritsugu is the true mage, or magician. He is a pure magician who studies many mysteries, delves into the structure of the world, and performs many miracles.

Kiritsugu also said that.

Kiritsugu Emiya is known as "the magician killer."

Saber's Master in the Fourth Holy Grail War, and Shirou Emiya's adoptive father.

Although a dreamer who hopes for world peace, he is a ruthless realist in practice. He has an extremely painful past and sorrowful memories.

Distracting thoughts arose, like the feeling that an iron rod inserted into the body had slid to a place it couldn't go any further.

Hmm!

The simulated magic circuits would invade the body, tearing it to pieces. Lin Yan persisted, gritting his teeth and persevering.

After struggling like walking on a mountain of needles, the iron rod reached deep into his body and finally melted into a part of him. It took almost an hour to finally create a pseudo-nerve, turning himself into a circuit that generates magic.

"Basic bones, explained.

Ultimately, Lin Yan is not a magician; he is merely a magician who can only generate magic power within his body and channel it onto objects. Therefore, his magic can only accomplish one thing.

"The composition of materials, explained."

The enhancement of an object is simply a magic trick that temporarily strengthens the object's abilities by grasping its structure and injecting magic power into it.

"The basic structure has changed."

Before me lies a broken iron pipe. Injecting magic into this pipe, a simple act of hardening, is like adding poison to an object other than oneself—Lin Yan's blood isn't blood to the iron pipe. Injecting different types of blood, even if it strengthens the pipe, will only accelerate its collapse. To prevent that, to prevent the target poison from becoming a drug, one must correctly understand the object's structure and inject magic into its open spaces.

"Constitutes the material and provides reinforcement."

The body's internal heat cooled rapidly, disappearing through the iron bars in the spine, while the lungs, squeezed to their limit, greedily demanded oxygen.

"Another failure." The injected magic seemed to dissipate outside. "It's so difficult to work on something that already has a form. On the contrary, I can't even get through the basics smoothly. How could I have distracting thoughts at such a crucial moment?"

Even after experiencing so much, so many worlds, and so many partings and deaths, can Lin Yan still not completely rid himself of distracting thoughts?

It seems that this matter is not as simple as it seems.

"Like Shirou, I don't really understand Kiritsugu at all. What exactly does it take to become a righteous person?"

I fell asleep without even realizing it; this is the first time I've ever fallen asleep from exhaustion.

His physique in this world still wasn't up to par; he needed to train properly. Suddenly, a ray of sunlight shone into his eyes, and Lin Yan opened them.

The rising sun leaps above the horizon.

"It's so cold. This morning was really tough." Lin Yan couldn't help but sneeze and shiver. It seems that his weak constitution is indeed true.

Lin Yan used to be unafraid of the cold or the heat.

He glanced at the digital clock on the bedside table, which showed 5:30. He was surprised that the sun was up so early, and more importantly, that he had woken up so early.

"Then let's make breakfast. Actually, Lin Yan doesn't like cooking, but he can't really treat Matou Sakura like a maid and order her around at will."

Lin Yan made the breakfast he wanted. In addition to the classic combination of soy milk and fried dough sticks, there were also steamed buns and shrimp dumplings, all of which were delicious breakfasts. He also made a few cold dishes, which were appetizing and perfect for eating with rice.

"Okay, is that alright? Since you have so much time, let's work up a sweat. Let's go through Saitama's training method once."

There is a magnificent dojo inside the residence.

Good morning, senior. Is breakfast ready yet?

Breakfast is ready. All that's left is to arrange the cutlery.

"Leave the arranging of tableware to me."

Sakura Matou was very surprised when she saw the breakfast, and even more surprised after eating it. "It's so delicious! I like this one, and I like this one too."

"What's that bruise on your wrist?" Matou Sakura suddenly covered her hand, stammering for a long time without being able to say a word, her eyes looking extremely embarrassed and constantly shifting.

"Is it Shinji again? What was that guy thinking, attacking my sister!"

"No, senior! This, that, I fell and bumped into something. I'm clumsy, right? So I often fall and get hurt."

"Idiot, will falling leave bruises like that? Shinji doesn't seem to have had enough yet!"

"No, no, senior! This really has nothing to do with my brother. I hurt myself, and I have no right to make you angry."

The atmosphere became heavy, and the air grew thick with tension.

"I understand. Since Sakura says so, let's just assume that's how it is. But I won't be able to tolerate it next time I see it."

"I'm sorry, senior."

"Why is Sakura apologizing now? It's Shinji who's in the wrong."

"Senior, have you made up with your brother?"

"But we didn't argue, so there's no point in making up."
