However, she is still not confident enough, so let's help her establish some examples that can boost her courage.

It just so happens that Mana needs to rest today and Shiki is not here either, so this is a good opportunity.

Roland came to a conclusion.

"Fujino, let's go to Kanbushi City this afternoon and pick a few suitable ones to break with your eyes."

"Yes, Lord Roland..."

Because the tone was as if he was saying to go to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner, Asagami Fujino subconsciously gave a submissive response. But when she truly understood the meaning of Roland's words, the only sound in the house was the girl's exclamation.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

-

There are many quiet alleys in the area near the streets of Guanbuzi City's office area.

It is located in the city, but because the original construction plan was abandoned halfway, many alleys are connected to the area on the mountain. Even in winter, when you walk into it, you can see the vast green space that does not match the style of the residential area at all. This area is so sparsely populated that even bad guys are unwilling to show up here.

Roland held Asagami Fujino's hand and was also a little surprised.

“There’s actually a place like this here…”

"There are usually some," Asagami Fujino was a little confused when she heard Roland's question. "Isn't it common to use mountains as landmarks when developing a city? Didn't the city where Lord Roland lived before have such an environment?"

"When I went back to Fuyuki before, my family dragged me around for a long time, and I really didn't see it...ah, I understand."

After Asagami Fujino's reminder, Roland finally reacted belatedly.

There is one in Fuyuki City. The Ryudo Temple near Mount Enzo has such a landform. However, it has been blown up, and what stands there now is a small hill formed by the cleared ruins following the ground veins.

Medea's workshop was set up on the spiritual vein in the forest on this hill. Because it had changed so much, Roland had almost forgotten what it looked like originally.

However, this destructive behavior was obviously not a great achievement. Roland coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject.

"Okay, the environment here is pretty good. Let's start practicing. Although you don't want to cause unnecessary damage with these eyes, you can't really master it without personal experience."

At Asagami Fujino's strong request, Roland reluctantly agreed to use dead objects as practice objects instead of humanoid creatures as targets.

"Then..." Roland stretched out his hand, stood at the dividing line between the woodland and the abandoned building, and pointed at a four-story building at random.

"Let's start with that thing."

"Even if you say so..."

Asagami Fujino stared blankly at the place where Roland was pointing, feeling a little at a loss.

Her magic eyes could indeed easily penetrate places like the walls of alleys, but this huge monster that almost spread to the end of her entire field of vision was still beyond the girl's imagination.

"How do you know if you don't try it? You have to get used to this power."

Roland used a light voice to stop the girl's concerns. After her painlessness was cured, Asagami Fujino's power was not restricted. In the original book, when the seal was accidentally leaked, the girl had the destructive power to directly distort a cross-river bridge, let alone now.

Even if you can't awaken the clairvoyance that allows you to see through things right now, it's a good idea to get familiar with it first.

"Since you put it that way..."

Asagami Fujino took a deep breath and opened her eyes.

Red and green spirals suddenly appeared in her eyes. Asagami Fujino looked at the building in front of her. Like the focus of a camera, her pupils kept contracting and expanding, adjusting the sense of distance in her field of vision.

Compared to the general inheritance of magic, this kind of superpower that is passed down through blood also has its own advantages. Instead of teaching, they only need to obey their own will to master this innate power.

Just as Roland was looking at Fujino's eyes with admiration, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the wall of the alley in front of him.

"boom--!"

The solid wall vibrated violently as it collided with the spreading flames.

Just as the flying debris was about to spread out at the speed of a bullet along with the force of the explosion, it was swallowed up by the high temperature that followed, losing its original shape and melting into a pool of liquid. It fell weakly to the ground halfway through its flight, leaving behind a trail of scorch marks.

"You're really easy for me to find. So, are you Aozaki Touko's client?"

The magician, wearing a bright red long coat and a tall barrel hat as if to prove his identity, stepped over the remaining part of the wall with a cane in hand and smiled cheerfully at Roland and Asagami Fujino.

Although he seemed to be trying his best to maintain his superior attitude, the malice hidden in his eyes still made him look like a pretentious venomous snake.

"Lord Roland?"

Asagami Fujino nervously called out to Roland beside her, and her tense spirit was diverted in an instant. If Roland had not been holding her hand, she would have subconsciously withdrawn from her previous state of readiness.

"I'm here, go ahead."

Roland glanced coldly at the red magician, without even thinking of asking his name. Instead, he patted Asagami Fujino's hand to calm her down.

"You're not going to reply? This is Cornelius Aruba's visit." Aruba, who was ignored, spread his hands in a rather exaggerated manner. "As expected, a guy from a remote place doesn't know what politeness is."

"Then let these guys teach you."

With a disgusting sound that seemed to break his throat, Aruba tapped his cane, fully manifesting his malice.

From under his feet, behind the uncovered wall, a creature like an alien oozed out.

From the outside, it looked very similar to the slime Roland had seen in the dungeon on the upper level of the underground cave, but after it was fully formed, he immediately rejected this idea.

The cream-colored slime overflowed from the wall and immediately took shape.

Some are human-shaped, some are animal-shaped, and the surfaces of these things are covered with scars. They begin to dissolve from these parts, but will soon reassemble themselves, as if they are forever repeating the process of decay. They are both ugly and exquisite at the same time.

"You have no taste. Rather than being a magician, being a supervisor of horror movies is probably more suitable for you. However, with such heavy tastes, I guess only small-scale productions will accept you."

After being surrounded by monsters that completely blocked the exit, Roland complained.

Indeed, the situation was very much like a horror movie, and unlike in the movies, neither crosses nor shotguns were effective against these things.

"Forget it, Fujino, I've changed my mind. Instead of tearing this building apart, let's get rid of these disgusting monsters first. Killing these guys who look like villains in horror movies should be more effective in building self-confidence."

"Can I really?"

Miss Fujino didn't want to spoil Roland's fun. She knew that her physical destructive power might be excellent, but when facing a monster that looked like a combination of flowing mud, would these eyes not disappoint Roland?

"Absolutely, easily!"

Roland gave an affirmative answer without any explanation.

The Distorted Mystic Eye is a Mystic Eye that rotates on its visual axis.

The left eye is left-turning and the right eye is right-turning, which can distort the object being looked at.

If two rotating axes are turned on at the same time on an object, the object can be broken at the junction.

From the perspective of expressiveness, it was as if there was an invisible presence exerting force from the left and right towards the direction she was looking at.

But if it were just interference like this, this magic eye would not be worthy of being rated as a gem.

Its real power lies in creating an invisible axis of rotation. What it breaks is essentially the intersection of the axis of rotation. Therefore, it can naturally ignore the properties of the object itself. No matter whether it is steel or flesh and blood, they are all the same in front of these eyes.

In many cases, these evil eyes were limited by Asagami Fujino's own cognition.

What does it matter if he can even break the base of the magic barrier and has a physical familiar?

Although Asagami Fujino didn't understand this yet, she seemed to be infected by Roland's confidence. She put all the pent-up emotions in her heart into her mind.

We must not let Lord Roland down.

The girl has always wanted to repay Roland for saving her, and this is especially true when considering special and outstanding women like Ryougi Shiki and Sakurami Mana as examples.

For the girl with low self-esteem, it didn't matter how she was treated, but she just didn't want Roland's vision to be questioned.

This is especially true when there are outsiders around.

She had to prove something, prove Roland's choice, prove her own value.

——So that I can have the courage to stand beside him in the future.

Asagami Fujino shifted her gaze and locked onto all the monsters in her sight with her sparkling eyes.

There were several blue veins on her fair fingers because she was holding too hard, but Roland held her hand tightly and still showed no sign of letting go.

The turbulent emotions continued to spread, causing the brilliant blue and red colors to intertwine in Asagami Fujino's eyes, and finally completely converge together.

First, lock the field of vision, confirm the different rotation axes, and finally, find the intersection and activate the power in these eyes.

"Twist it..."

The girl whispered softly.

Then, an invisible vortex appeared in front of every monster, as if it had gravity, cutting off everything on the boundary line!

The twisting force of the spiral began to spread along the broken parts, dispersing in a radiating manner like water spilled on the ground, intensifying, and manifesting this invisible force through the destroyed limbs.

In the blink of an eye, the group of white monsters collapsed and disappeared completely in the huge holes that remained like whirlpools, showing the funny change of the face of the red magician in the back from smug to stunned.

"Well done."

The destructive power of this attack has surpassed many treasures. If used properly, it can be regarded as the nemesis of barriers, especially for the arrangement method like Kenneth, which is simply a natural nemesis.

"well done."

Roland nodded with satisfaction and touched the girl's silky hair to show encouragement.

The girl who was praised subconsciously lowered her blushing face, but the corners of her mouth still curled up unconsciously.

However, compared to the two affectionate people here, Aruba's expression was completely distorted.

"How is that possible? What level of Demonic Eye is that?"

He looked at Asagami Fujino and was about to ask a question, but when he saw Roland, his attention was instantly diverted. Compared to the girl who was not in his plan, this man was his real target today, and the other party's words accurately hit his soft spot.

"How dare you say I have no taste? They are made of pure ether blocks. No matter what kind of magic, they can defend against it by absorbing a certain amount. And with the monster-like posture, when they rush forward, even the barrier will be corroded."

"Ordinary magicians don't even have a chance to resist... Do you know how many magicians these slimes have eaten?"

Aruba held the cane tightly, looking angry.

Hearing these words, Roland nodded and thought about it seriously.

He asked with empty eyes.

"So, can this kind of slime only corrode clothes during battle without hurting the body? Oh, and it would be best if it could produce different effects for different genders, or even grant some special states..."

"How can you possibly do that? And what do you think of a slime?"

Seeing that Roland was getting more and more excited, the red magician no longer cared about being reserved and roared at such a lack of common sense.

But his answer was met with only a look of disgust.

"Then I was right... You really are a tasteless clown."

Chapter 176 White Snake plays quietly

"You...are just a country bumpkin who doesn't understand the true meaning of magic!"

Facing Roland's merciless and cold ridicule, Aruba frowned and looked at him with murderous eyes as if he was about to cry.

"No wonder she's hanging out with a guy like Aozaki. She's just a lucky person who got some power by chance and wants to get honors that don't belong to her. That's why the association gave her the most suitable color. In the end, that guy is just a defective product called Red of Pain!"

"Did you know? In the Magic Association, the highest-ranking magicians are given titles of colors, with the three primary colors being the highest honor. Aozaki, as her name suggests, wanted the title of 'Blue', but the association would not give it to her."

"She was deprived of her inheritance by her own sister, and even the familiar she carefully searched for fell into her hands. People who join the guild for revenge are not suitable for pure colors, so Aozaki got orange, which is the opposite of her last name, and the same tacky color as her name. Haha, isn't this a very suitable title for that woman?"

When this matter was mentioned, Aruba couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his face, and he spoke like a machine gun, perfectly showing his pretentious personality.

When he was really facing people who were stronger than him, like Aozaki Touko and Araya Soren, he always disguised himself with a polite appearance and didn't dare to complain too much. But once he thought he had the upper hand, he would constantly use words to seek recognition from others.

"Yes, that's why Aozaki always gives me a low opinion. I was the first to specialize in runes, and I was also the first to gain the reputation of a puppeteer."

"Even though that was the case, her attitude fooled those morons. Her attitude of belittling me made those guys think that I was inferior as well."

"If you think about it carefully, you will understand! I am the next abbot of Schopenheim Abbey! I have been studying magic for more than forty years. Why should I be ranked behind a little girl in her twenties...!"

His words were so passionate that they echoed around him.

Faced with this opponent who abandoned his pretended friendly attitude and began to spread curses, Roland just looked at him with a dull look and spoke heart-piercing words.

"But in the end, knowledge has nothing to do with age. No matter what excuses you use to whitewash yourself, it can't change the fact that Aozaki Touko is much better than you."

Although this sentence was not mixed with any extra emotions and was just an objective evaluation, for Aruba, there was no more provocative insult than this.

The fact that he still maintains a youthful appearance even after he is fifty is the best reflection of his true nature.

Of all the magicians Roland had ever seen, Aruba was the most hollow.

He didn't care about Araya Soren's experiment to reach the root. He believed from the bottom of his heart that it was meaningless to pursue the unknowable realm of God. It was enough to know how to use the truth of the present world. Why bother to trace the origin?

With such a view, he is more like a so-called "magician" than Emiya Kiritsugu, that is, he only uses magic as a tool.
