Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Xia Yuan waved his hand and did not continue to exchange pleasantries with him. He raised his hand and activated his magic power again, controlling the mercury-like Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid to drill out of the container and cover himself.

He turned his gaze to Lanis and said with a smile, "Since there is still some time left, I would like to trouble Sister Lanis to explain to me the secret of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid. Is that okay?"

"My pleasure." Lanis gently pulled her skirt and smiled back.

"My pleasure, Brother-sama."

Chapter 82 Return to the Clock Tower (Blade Extra)

Fighting skills.

It can also be considered an elective course for Clock Tower Magicians.

Yes, you heard it right, it is fighting skills, also collectively known as self-defense skills.

This is a skill that uses physical fitness to exert strength to deal with various unexpected situations. It is also called by magicians as a manifestation of one's own life force.

Although this skill is disdained by most magicians who consider themselves aristocrats, truly knowledgeable and talented magicians can understand its importance.

Magicians set up magic workshops, and when performing magic rituals, they usually make many complex preparatory rituals to connect to the local ley lines and use them as the driving force of the magic.

But at normal times, that is, when the magician is outside the magic workshop and cannot connect to the magic power of the local spiritual vein at any time, if he wants to use magic, he can only rely on his own magic circuits to convert the vitality in the human body into magic power and use it as a special power to perform magic, which is the so-called [small source].

At this time, the strength of the magician's physical fitness can play a specific role, so an excellent magician not only looks at the quality and quantity of magic circuits, the quality of his own life is also very critical.

Looking at the entire Clock Tower, all magicians above the opening level, unless they are special cases, are constantly exercising and improving their life abilities.

Therefore, as an excellent teacher, Kenneth naturally included martial arts as a compulsory course for his students.

If he used to just do physical exercises procedurally without rejecting them, after the Holy Grail War, he deeply realized the importance of fighting skills for a magician.

A third-rate magician like Emiya Kiritsugu could actually make many excellent magicians suffer with the help of modern weapons and fighting skills. Even I took a great risk when fighting him.

In actual combat, not only the use of magic should be emphasized, but fighting skills are also very important. Therefore, after returning, Kenneth secluded himself and concentrated on studying for several months, and developed a set of special fighting skills centered around the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

Not only himself, he also forced the martial arts course from an elective course directly into the El-Melloi classroom, and all his students had to learn martial arts.

Even a rookie like Weber was forcibly dragged here by Kenneth for training. After many rounds of careful beatings, he successfully transformed him from a rookie who was unable to even tie a chicken into a rookie who could kill two chickens. It can be said that he made significant progress.

Xia Yuan's situation is rather special and is fundamentally different from that of these magicians. After all, this guy himself is the human-shaped Holy Grail and does not need to start with the "small source" of life transformation magic. He can be said to have reached an infinite existence.

Xia Yuan took the initiative to join this course because he found it interesting.

Kenneth had no objection to this. He knew that driving one duck was the same as driving two ducks, and he also understood that the more the better.

Moreover, he didn't think that Xia Yuan could defeat him with his carefully developed El-Melloi School Moon Spirit Essence Fighting Technique using only his physical body since the use of magic was prohibited.

He can also use this opportunity to establish some authority as a teacher.

However, he soon regretted it.

……

……

Ten minutes later.

boom--

A heavy punch landed firmly on Kenneth's abdomen, accompanied by a muffled sound. The huge impact made Kenneth vomit stomach acid and stumbled backwards. Even through the clothes, it was easy to feel that the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid condensed in the chest was also directly dispersed by Xia Yuan's punch.

However, the martial arts lessons continued...

"Wait a minute..."

The punch just now completely woke Kenneth up.

Although he set the rules of magic fighting in which neither side is allowed to use magic, the winner can only be determined by the magician's own qualities and skills.

In order to use the noble fighting technique he had learned, Patton Technique, Kenny specially found a good quality cane, while Xia Yuan was unarmed.

He thought that by restricting the magic, he could rely on his original ceremonial outfit and the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid Fighting Technique to firmly suppress Xia Yuan, thereby regaining his dignity as a teacher. However, he did not expect that Xia Yuan would be even more ruthless, or in other words, he had a stronger ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Xia Yuan, who was still a gangster in Fuyuki City some time ago, naturally could not be like a rookie like Weber and be tortured by Kenneth obediently. His clenched fists and unlimited street fighting skills were evenly matched with Kenneth's professionally trained Barton skills. And because Xia Yuan had more experience in street fighting, Kenneth even had a tendency to be gradually suppressed by him.

The development up to this point is still normal communication between master and apprentice, and also a normal martial arts course.

As a result, during one of the fights, Kenneth suddenly used the essence of the Moon Spirit. The mercury-like liquid hidden in his sleeves suddenly turned into a tentacle, which tied up Xia Yuan's legs while he was concentrating, and then pulled him back with force, interrupting Xia Yuan's attack. Kenneth also took advantage of this opportunity, using his cane and his hands and feet to reverse the situation and suppress him.

"Didn't you say you can't use magic?"

Xia Yuan, who was hit by the essence of the Moon Spirit, was extremely puzzled.

To this Kenneth replied calmly.

"Xia Yuan, the power of a magician's body is not just reflected in strength. Magic power is also a manifestation of life force."

"It's just that the rules prohibit the use of magic, but the use of magic power is still within the rules. After all, for a magician, the magic costume is equivalent to a part of the body, and magic power is like blood, which is an important part of it. And the fighting technique I use is also developed by combining the binding magic costume with the Barton technique. If I explain it this way, can you understand, Yuan?"

"That's it..."

After receiving Kenneth's far-fetched explanation, Xia Yuan did not feel unreasonable because of the loophole in the rules, nor did he feel angry. He just responded to Kenneth calmly: "I understand."

Then he gently clenched his fists, gestured to Kenneth again, nodded slightly and said, "Then please continue, Teacher Kenneth."

then……

And then nothing happened. It seemed simple to wrap the magic power around his fists, but Xia Yuan used the same method to retaliate and taught Kenneth a good lesson.

Although it is difficult to control the magnitude of magic power and the power of magic, this kind of fighting method does not require deliberate control and does not need to worry about power issues. Since there is no need to use magic, you can directly use the maximum magic power to cover the required body parts and then punch out with all your strength.

And it just so happened that during this period of time he had some new ideas about his fighting style and also put it into practice. This was a perfect time to test the results.

After all, a Lord-level touchstone is not common.

"boom!"

Another merciless punch came towards him, and the magic power carried by the powerful force completely dispersed the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid covering his body surface, and also made Kenneth dizzy.

Kenneth was thinking: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? These questions kept coming up.

You know, this is a magic outfit that is dozens of times stronger than steel, how could it be shattered just like that?

Obviously, he didn't use any magic, and what hit him was just an ordinary fist covered with magic power. He didn't even use any strengthening magic.

However, this out-of-the-ordinary power is not inferior to those Servants who have returned to the human world.

He didn't even have time to admit defeat, as Xia Yuan's next punch soon followed.

The seemingly ordinary fist didn't even use any magic to strengthen it, but it exploded with great power when it hit the target. There was no special technique involved, it was just that Xia Yuan simply wrapped his fist with a lot of magic power, that's all.

But this alone is certainly not enough to make Kenneth feel so much pain. In order to increase the power of his fists, Xia Yuan will use the explosive magic power to attract the opponent's body at the moment his fist hits the enemy.

At this time, the increased power is no longer as simple as adding the two together.

Although it was just an ordinary punch, it seemed as if it was counterattacked by a burst of magic power at the same time. Anyone who has experienced this kind of sour and refreshing feeling of being hit would probably say it hurts...

But now Kenneth was beaten so badly that he could not speak, because he found that his body had flown backwards and finally hit the wall. He heard the sound of something breaking in his ears, and then his body rolled down.

Kenneth could not get up again.

At this point, the winner is clearly decided.

"Are you okay? Teacher Kenneth!"

Seeing Kenneth rolling down the wall and opening his mouth and closing his eyes, Weber quickly ran up and shouted anxiously.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he felt inexplicably happy when he saw Kenneth, who often beat him up in martial arts classes, being beaten by Xia Yuan. But he was also worried when he saw Kenneth being beaten like this.

That's why he ran to Kenneth and checked his injuries as soon as the outcome was decided.

"Ahem... stop yelling, idiot. I'm fine."

Weber heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Kenneth's usual harsh voice.

Since he still had the energy to scold him, it seemed that Teacher Kenneth was probably fine. Thinking of this, Weber immediately helped Kenneth up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kenneth. I was a little drunk just now, and I might have been a little too heavy-handed."

After Weber finished speaking, Xia Yuan said with some guilt.

In fact, he was not very proficient in the special fighting skills just now, and he was also irritated by Kenneth's actions, so he secretly became more serious.

This fighting method of covering magic and then exploding when hitting seems to be the simplest use of magic, but the simpler the technique, the more effective it is at times, and the more details it contains.

From today's first practice, the fact that Kenneth was beaten into such a miserable state shows the practicality of this set of skills. Originally, it was just a hypothetical fighting method in Xia Yuan's mind, but the power it exploded in actual use was surprisingly impressive.

"hiss……"

Hearing Xia Yuan's words, Kenneth couldn't help but cry out in pain again.

In the fight just now, he didn't know how many times he was hit by those extremely painful fists, and the burning pain on his face and other parts of his body made him grin involuntarily.

First of all, the Moon Spirit Essence Fighting Technique that he had carefully developed was easily resolved by Xia Yuan, and the added force of that strange fist could not even be resisted through the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid.

From the beginning, he wanted to teach Xia Yuan the importance of learning combat skills with magic costumes and give him guidance, but it suddenly turned into Xia Yuan unilaterally teaching himself a lesson.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, Kenneth was not angry or humiliated. After all, being defeated by a magician was not a shameful thing.

He could still recognize the huge gap between a magician and a sorcerer.

His unique fighting skills that combined with the essence of the Moon Spirit would definitely be extremely powerful among modern magicians. Even when facing Lords or magicians of other disciplines, he would be able to exert a powerful effect. He would never be beaten without any ability to fight back like he is now. So in conclusion, this was not a problem of him being too weak. It was obvious that Xia Yuan had grown up again.

How long has it been? I've only been in London for less than four months.

Not only did he learn the famous Moon Spirit Essence and Gem Magic in the Mineral Subject, he is now even developing his own combat system.

What a monster...

Magicians and magicians are not beings from the same dimension. As expected, no matter which magician they are, they are all real monsters.

Reach the root and touch the realm of Dharma.

Thinking of this, Kenneth couldn't help but flash a hint of envy in his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and replied, "I'm fine."

Kenneth dusted himself off, tidied his appearance, and soon transformed back into the form of a mage noble.

Glancing at Xia Yuan, he sighed and said helplessly, "Originally, I wanted to use the fighting skills course to teach you the importance of physical ability, that is, the life ability of a magician, so that you can deal with many unexpected situations. But now it seems that it is no longer necessary. You are obviously much better than I thought."

"Even if I use my proud magic suit, I still can't defeat you, or even fight you on equal terms. Your power has far exceeded my imagination and cognition."

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have nothing worth teaching you except magic theory and experience."

"Huh?" Xia Yuan was stunned.

"Ah?!" Weber exclaimed, "Are you kidding me?"

Kenneth's words obviously frightened Weber.

"What? Weber, are you questioning my judgment?" Kenneth turned his head and looked at him.

"I dare not." Weber stood up immediately.

"so……"

"So... Mr. Kenneth, am I a successful apprentice?"

He graduated four months after entering school. Wasn't this speed too fast? Although he learned a lot from Kenneth's library during this time, the more he learned, the more he could experience the vastness of the mysterious world. Even the magicians did not touch the whole picture of the mystery. In various myths, countless inherited knowledge contained their own mysteries.

"It's still a long time before that. You just don't need to stay here to study anymore. It's still a long way to go before you can become a master." Kenneth said unhappily.

"The path of magic is endless."

"What do you mean?"

"Go to the Clock Tower. You are almost ready now. It will be difficult for those fools to hurt you.

You need to show off as much as you can, and then announce your arrival at the right time. I will take care of the rest for you."

"I will help you apply for a place in El-Melloi's elite classroom. You just need to continue to learn from me about barriers, rituals, and magic theory.

As for your next path, it is up to you to carve it out, no one can help you."

"Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Kenneth."

Xia Yuan nodded and then thanked him.

“Nothing, okay, that’s about enough of my instruction for you.

Then it's your turn, Weber."

Weber's body suddenly stiffened.

Chapter 83: Ulysses of the Spiritualist

"so tired……"

On the third day after returning to the Clock Tower, Weber showed up at the place where he had stomachache from working overtime every day, looking exhausted.
