You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

"We can still use the computing power of supercomputers to do many things, such as national development strategies, popularization of science and technology for people's livelihood... including how to turn the [Instant Harassment] that bothers you into a simple and easy-to-use move."

"Can it really be done?"

Iori was somewhat puzzled: "Shun-ho isn't magic or technology, it's just a pure combat technique."

“Although I don’t understand what you mean by ‘Ghost Path’ and ‘Hakuda’, I believe that the ways of using energy are the same…and you should change your way of thinking.”

Sera smiled confidently and asked, "If a magician from Type-Moon encountered the problem of 'the spell being too complicated,' how would they solve it?"

"Uh..." This really stumped Iori.

"You are a warrior, and although you have accumulated a vast amount of knowledge, you still subconsciously solve problems with a warrior's mindset—either 'conquer' or 'destroy' them."

But magicians are different; when faced with a problem, they think of ways to get around it, find alternatives, or even cheat!

If you lack something, take it from somewhere else; if you can't solve a problem in your lifetime, research ways to make yourself immortal...

Sera snapped his fingers: "Magicians are a group of extreme pragmatists. The foundation of modern magic is built on the deception of the 'world'!"

So, if we just turn 'Instant Harshness' from a technique into a skill, easily activated by simply pulling the trigger or throwing a stone—wouldn't that be great?

"You mean... something like gem magic?" Iori asked thoughtfully.

“That’s right.” Sera nodded frankly.

There are many schools of magic in Type-Moon, but Jewel Magic is quite famous. One reason is that it is extremely versatile and has no drawbacks except for being expensive. Another reason is that it is extremely convenient in actual combat.

Essentially, it involves inputting a certain type of magical power into a suitable medium (gem), stabilizing and sealing the magical power through special treatment. This is equivalent to completing the preparation work for the spell in advance. In battle, you can simply throw the gem out and use a simple incantation to activate the corresponding magic.

Because the gems were prepared in advance, they did not require much of my own magic power to be consumed.

In theory, if well prepared, a user of gem magic can completely ignore the consumption of energy and fire magic like a machine gun, making them the Gilgamesh among magicians!

(From this perspective, the Tohsaka family and a certain hero king actually have a pretty good compatibility.)

“That’s magic, and by analogy, it’s like Kido.” Iori frowned slightly. “Using a similar method, we might be able to seal Kido in a gem as well… but I can already use Kido without chanting.”

"I mean this line of thinking, not that you should actually learn gem magic."

Furthermore, your 'Instant Spell' can be considered a magic spell activated using yourself as the medium; even if it were to be sealed away, it should be sealed within your body.

"in vivo?"

Do you know what modern magicians call jewel magic?

Sera answered her own question: "It's known as the 'one-time magic mark'."

"—!"

Iori's eyes flickered slightly, a flash of insight crossed her mind, and she suddenly remembered something.

"correct……"

"It seems you have thought of it too."

Sera beamed: "That's right, it's the [Magic Mark]!"

"Once you inscribe the 'Instant Roar' Kido formula into your magic circuits and create your own inscription, you can use this technique at will!"

“Phew…” Iori was greatly encouraged, and a surge of joy filled her heart.

However, he was not overwhelmed by the sudden surprise. He first forced himself to calm down, analyzed the principle of "Instant Hurricane", and then considered the feasibility of making it into a magic mark... No problem!

At least in principle, they don't conflict!

The so-called "magic mark" is a kind of "fixed mystery".

Against the backdrop of the "mysterious decay" in the Type-Moon universe, human magicians were unable to stop this phenomenon no matter how hard they tried. Therefore, in order to combat the relentless erosion of time, they created something called an Imprint.

Its essence is to solidify the "mystery" that a magician has honed throughout his life, strip it away from himself, and pass it on to the next generation in the form of a physical object.

It can be understood that magicians use this method to continue their research and pass it down from generation to generation, which also contains the regret of each generation for "not being able to complete the research".

Therefore, the older the family, the more perfect the magic imprint, and the greater its influence on the personality of the heir.

In a sense, for those ancient lineages, the magic crest is the true master, and each generation of magicians is merely a vessel to pass it on.

—Just like how each generation of homunculi in the Einzbern family hopes to fulfill the wish of the first magician.

Putting all that aside, the [Magic Mark] itself is a very powerful tool.

It is connected to the magician's circuit, like an "accessory organ," a second engine different from the main circuit.

The magic engraved inside can be activated simply by inputting magic power; no complicated incantations are required.

It's just like starting a sports car – all you need to do is add fuel and turn the key!

The difficulty of "Instantaneous Rage" lies in maintaining high-frequency fluctuations of spiritual particles during battle—which can be completely solved using the form of "Imprinting".

"Instead of carefully manipulating energy to flow along complex paths, let energy 'flow only along these paths'!"

Sera said seriously, "Record the operation of 'Instant Hurricane' and compile it into a fixed formula to be implanted into your body. When it is time to activate, just input the energy into the imprint."

"Then you'll only need to control the output power and how to combine it with physical techniques—it'll be much easier, right?"

"If that's really possible, I'm confident I can completely master 'Instant Hurricane'."

Iori nodded first, then asked with concern, "But are [Magic Crests] so easy to make? They usually require several generations, or even hundreds of years, to accumulate, right?"

"That's how it is for ordinary magicians... but have you forgotten who you are?"

Sera looked at Iori with amusement: "Have some self-awareness—you are a creation of the Third Law!"

In terms of the concept of the materialization of the soul, our entire body is essentially composed of magic circuits, and extracting a few to create a [magic mark] is not difficult at all.

Iori...don't underestimate 'magic'!

"That's an underestimation of my abilities."

Iori felt a sense of relief: "However, I don't have any relevant knowledge... I might have to trouble you."

"Who told me to fall in love with such a troublesome man?"

Sera, with a "I can't do anything with you" tone, laughed and said, "The Einzbern family's lineage is different from other magic families, but they do have information related to [Magic Crests]. As long as we get the basic template right, we can have 'The Crown' help with the calculations and design..."

"It'll probably take about a week, but I'm confident I can make the imprint within seven days—provided you cooperate."

"I'll cooperate! Of course I'll cooperate!" Iori nodded. "How?"

"Hmm... I need to figure out the trajectory of 'Instant Hurricane'."

"Is this the only one?"

"Well, of course we also need to 'synchronize' with each other, which means using skin contact and body temperature to bring our magical energy fluctuations into similar bands, so that I can more clearly perceive the changes happening in your body."

"Oh...that sounds familiar."

Iori raised an eyebrow. Isn't this just another example of Type-Moon's traditional tricks?

"So what do we do next?"

"This……"

Sera's gaze darted away, looking elsewhere: "Let's take our clothes off first."

“Okay!” Iori replied without hesitation.

The silver-haired girl turned her head, immediately took a half step back, and subconsciously covered her face, instantly feeling a surge of heat rushing to her head.

"Who...who told you to take your whole body off!"

"Don't be shy, I know the procedure, so we won't have to wait too long."

"What process? What are you talking about?" Sera blushed, parted her fingers, and glanced down with a flickering look...

"Oh? I think you don't understand at all~"

Iori stood openly before the Holy Grail and reached out directly to Sera: "Then I'll teach you."

"Teach...teach what?"

"I'll teach you how to replenish mana, no, of course I mean how!"

In the early morning, bright sunlight streamed in through the window. The room was simply yet elegantly furnished, with a luxurious rug embroidered with regular geometric patterns and various flowers, birds, and animals filling the blank spaces. At the center of the room stood a large bed that made a strong impression.

Sunlight couldn't penetrate the lowered silk curtains, only vaguely revealing two figures lying in bed, embracing and sleeping.

"Well……"

A languid humming sound rang out, and a naked, fair-skinned woman propped herself up on her side on the velvet bed, her alluring silhouette cast on the curtains.

The shadows, from the shoulders to the slender yet resilient waist, and then to the upturned hips, create a perfect curve reminiscent of a jade sculpture.

The turbulent air lifted a gap in the curtain, revealing a glimpse of thin silk fabric falling to her waist and long, silver hair cascading like tassels down her smooth back.

"Is it already morning...?"

Her red eyes were half-closed, and she rubbed them sleepily.

Although in terms of physical strength, Sera, being a creation of the Third Law, is theoretically on par with Iori.

However, she is not a carnivore like some ice queen, and is far less aggressive. Even though she tried to seize the initiative at one point, she was eventually defeated and routed, which only emboldened Iori.

Even if you have enough physical strength, you will still feel mentally exhausted if you are unilaterally dominated and ravaged.

"...Oh right, there's work... Ugh—!"

She stretched languidly, her beautiful figure reflected on the silk curtain as a yawning girl, having relieved the fatigue of the whole night, and was about to get up to deal with the backlog of tasks.

...Although we were nominally busy with this last night, it was clear that neither of us was truly focused on our work.

However, just as Sera was searching for her underwear, which she had somehow lost, a strong hand grabbed her forearm and pulled her down with a sudden force. The silver-haired, red-eyed girl only had time to cry out before she was pulled back down and lay face down on the man's chest.

"You, you're awake too... You scared me."
