"If it's this kind of divinely created weaponry, I can't do it."

Emiya shook his head.

"Hey, why?"

The enthusiasm that had just been aroused was interrupted, and Gojo Satoru seemed to be reduced to a strange style, and asked Emiya like a curious baby.

"Because the activation of [Projection Magic] requires a significant amount of engineering, namely, the technology of imitation, and I cannot understand the mythical Noble Phantasms forged from the stars."

There is no way to analyze the production process of the Noble Phantasm, so naturally there is no way to go further and imitate it.

Even the rather unreasonable-sounding [Projection Magic] is exceptionally compliant with the laws of reality. The process of "projection" can even be simply understood as the process of "reforging" a treasure.

Even if you want to forge it, you should at least understand the design drawings, right?

"Is this so..."

"They're called divinely created weapons because, in mythology, those weapons were naturally formed between heaven and earth. Saying they were forged from the stars is quite fitting, but it's a shame they can't be projected."

"In contrast, Noble Phantasms forged by humans, because their creation process can be reproduced, offer scope for [Projection Magic]... and surprisingly, they even adhere to the laws of physics."

"Right! Since you said those Noble Phantasms were real things, is there any way for me to find their true forms now?"

If Gojo Satoru remembered correctly, there were quite a few antiques that had been passed down from ancient times to the present day.

Although they are still kept in different museums, they are not his property for the time being.

"No, Noble Phantasms are, after all, weapons constructed from human imagination. They have no direct connection to real objects, and this world cannot accommodate the true form of Noble Phantasms."

Not to mention this world where the 'Great Source' and magic power seem to be non-existent, even in the former magic world, after the decline of the Age of Gods, these things that host miracles have completely disappeared.

Perhaps some ancient magic families are still using special methods to preserve some fragments, but Emiya has never seen it.

As for why it is just said that there is no direct connection?

Because in the Holy Grail War, these objects related to the Heroic Spirits can still be used as a means of summoning them.

"How could this happen? What a pity..."

Gojo Satoru's enthusiasm was immediately dampened.

He admitted in his real name that he had indeed intended to go to the British Museum to get some antiques.

"However, having said that, I now roughly understand the level of your abilities."

"Let's assume this is a [Natural Technique]. From the perspective of a sorcerer, it's perfectly acceptable to rate it as special grade."

"The effects of different Noble Phantasms may be tailored to different opponents and cursed spirits. They are truly the ultimate killer weapon. Even I, without any information, would probably not be able to gain any advantage."

"It's just that...this explanation is too much trouble to convince those old fogies. If we keep it secret for now, we can only be rated as a Level 2 based on our record of removing a Level 1 cursed spirit."

Gojo Satoru slapped his head helplessly, not knowing how to deal with the current situation.

"After all, I'm not a real sorcerer yet, so some things are hard to hide."

The magic world generally uses a recommendation system to rank magicians.

That is to say, in addition to actual combat records, a fourth-level sorcerer who wants to become a third-level sorcerer needs the recommendation of another third-level sorcerer. The same is true for a third-level sorcerer who wants to become a second-level sorcerer, and so on.

After being recommended, a sorcerer of the same level other than the recommender will accompany them to carry out the task of removing the cursed spirits. If they perform well, they will be able to successfully advance.

It sounds a bit troublesome, but this system is actually quite humane. At least it can effectively prevent the situation where the strength of the sorcerer is not equal to the level.

But once it reaches the special grade, the original grading system becomes completely useless.

After all, there are only three top-grade sorcerers in the whole of Japan. Each of them has to face various exorcism commissions every day, so they don't have much time to waste.

Moreover, the old guys in the world of sorcery actually dislike special-grade sorcerers who don't follow orders well.

If you want to be rated as special by them, you must truly demonstrate overwhelming strength.

Not to mention being invincible, but at least he had to get rid of a few special-grade cursed spirits first, or show a power that those guys couldn't understand.

Gojo Satoru could see that Emiya was obviously not the type who liked this kind of thing, so he just passed it up.

"It's okay, Mr. Gojo Satoru. A second-level sorcerer is enough... Actually, I don't care about these levels."

The reason why Emiya originally became a sorcerer was simply to obtain more information and because he couldn't stand seeing people crying in front of him.

Isn't it completely missing the point to blindly pursue a rating system?

"He's truly a down-to-earth young man, very good!"

"Since you're willing to tell me so much information about your abilities, then I must do something in return."

Putting his hand in the shape of a √ under his chin, Gojo Satoru began to think seriously.

"Have it!"

"Let me first tell you about the latest information I received. Remember the uncle who was arrested for killing two students in this commission?"

"Due to procedural issues, the government rarely imposes the death penalty. This murder, under the High Commissioner's deliberate guidance, did not cause any significant impact, and his motive for the murder was quite plausible..."

"A sentence of around twenty years. If it's the government's decision, he still has a chance to reform himself in his old age."

After thinking for a moment, Gojo Satoru made a very pertinent judgment.

After hearing this news, Emiya's expression visibly relaxed. Gojo Satoru also keenly noticed this, and a smile quickly curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"But it's a pity. Because he accidentally got involved with the world of curses, the General Administration, after careful consideration, handed down a sentence against this man who was clearly only seeking revenge for his daughter—"

"Death penalty, immediate execution."

boom----!

Shirou Emiya's negative emotions were instantly triggered.

Volume 1: Chapter 22 Aren’t the answers written on the title page?

If a person wants to become a sorcerer, the process is actually quite simple.

As long as he could let his negative emotions reach a certain peak, the cursed energy would begin to surge within his body. And with a little guidance during this process, the probability of awakening and becoming a curser would be very high.

The reason why non-magicians can see cursed spirits when they are on the verge of death is that when facing death, their negative emotions will rapidly increase, causing the concentration of cursed power in their bodies to increase, temporarily reaching the level where they can see the cursed spirits.

In fact, every non-magician has cursed energy in their body, and everyone will have negative emotions.

It’s just that they have no talent and cannot sense the existence of cursed energy, let alone control it.

Therefore, few people would guide non-magicians to awaken in this way, because if you don’t have talent, you don’t have talent.

Although Gojo Satoru also hates the twisted theory of bloodline, the differences in bloodline and talent are real realities.

Most of the family's direct descendants were able to awaken their magical powers at a young age. Besides the deliberate guidance of their elders, the more important factor was their inherent sensitivity to magical powers, allowing them to easily sense its presence.

The reason why many non-family sorcerers are able to awaken is mostly because their potential is stimulated by death when they accidentally encounter cursed spirits, or they suddenly sense the existence of cursed power when they are in an extremely negative emotional state.

The truth is, sorcerers who awaken in this way generally cannot awaken the [Innate Technique], and their talent as sorcerers is not that strong either.

It is not ruled out that there may occasionally be naturally awakened sorcerers among non-magicians, but such cases are quite rare.

But Gojo Satoru is still quite excited now.

He just tried to guide the other party's negative emotions and intentionally increased the concentration of magic power around him, but the other party actually awakened.

As expected, his talent as a sorcerer is quite outstanding!

This is what Gojo Satoru really wants to see!

thump—

Boom——! Boom——! Boom——!

Emiya tried hard to calm his heartbeat, but he could still feel as if there was another 'heart' beating inside his body.

Something called cursed power is hidden within it and is constantly flowing out.

He seemed to have some understanding of how negative emotions could be transformed into magical power.

But now he is unable to fully control the cursed energy, just like it is difficult for a newborn to give correct control of his limbs.

Ever since coming to this world, Emiya has heard others say more than once that curses and cursed energy are born from people's negative emotions.

Apart from the battle with the cursed spirit not long ago, this was the first time he felt his negative emotions so clearly.

In other words, the emotions generated during battle are not necessarily negative; this is only the case this time.

Emiya didn't know why he felt so much negative emotion after hearing this.

He really hated this kind of behavior that disregarded human life by taking advantage of privilege.

Whether from a moral or legal point of view, the man did not deserve to die, but people in the curse world were able to sentence him to death because of his special status.

Emiya thought that this was not much different from the act of wantonly taking other people's lives.

The reason why the negative emotions generated were so huge that he could feel the cursed energy... maybe it was because it reminded him of Miyu.

She hadn't done anything wrong, but because the world would be destroyed if she didn't use this method, she was treated as a vessel for the Holy Grail War and killed... What was right about this?

Carnivores will also starve to death due to lack of food, so they will prey on other creatures.

Is this just to prove that humans are actually no different from those bloodthirsty beasts?

In order to protect Miyu, Shirou Emiya is willing to become the enemy of the world.

Similarly, the man’s daughter was also innocent. It was only because no one stopped the behavior of school bullying that she lost her life due to the malice of others.

In order to avenge his daughter, he still did it even though he knew that his life would be completely ruined.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of emotion of selfless devotion to the people around him that Emiya can empathize so much, and thus produces strange negative emotions.

He has now awakened his cursed power and can see cursed spirits, making him a true curse master, but Emiya is not as happy as he imagined.

Although he noticed that Gojo Satoru had a tendency to deliberately lead him to have negative emotions, Emiya still did not forget to ask.

"Is the situation really as you said?"

No matter what, Emiya would never accept such a judgment result.

If he turns a blind eye to what is happening before him, he is no longer himself.

"Oh, of course. How could I deceive you about something like this?"

Gojo Satoru spread his hands, still maintaining his smile.

"According to the Directorate, during the interrogation, they discovered that the Curse Master was involved in this incident. Even if he wasn't fully aware of it, he's suspected of assisting the Curse Master in carrying out some conspiracy."

"Plus, it would be difficult to hand him over to the government under these circumstances, so the Directorate General simply issued a death sentence."

"These are the family-based sorcerers. Not only do they believe they are superior to ordinary sorcerers in terms of bloodline, but they also treat non-sorcerers with a condescending attitude."

In Japan, the composition of the magic world is quite simple.

The highest authority to lead and control sorcerers is the Inspectorate of Spells. Its existence is jointly guaranteed by the Three Great Families and the government to ensure that the activities of sorcerers are under certain control and supervision.

Under the General Directorate are the College of Spells, the Spells Association, and a series of small organizations.

In addition to education, the High School of Spells can also entrust and assign sorcerers to carry out the task of removing cursed spirits, but it cannot bypass the administrative orders of the General Headquarters to punish sorcerers.

Similarly, the most powerful Director of Spells can only be appointed by the Prime Minister after being nominated by the Three Great Families... Doesn't this process already determine that sorcerers who are not from a family will not have much say in the world of spells?

"So, is there any way to save him?"

Emiya asked succinctly.

This is exactly what Gojo Satoru wanted to hear!

"Overall, it's still very difficult. It's like an ordinary person trying to change a court ruling. Such a thing is simply unrealistic."

"But aren't the answers already written on the question?"

"As long as you can prove that you are very strong, so strong that you are definitely not an ordinary person who can be manipulated by them—"

"Isn't this enough?"

Volume 1: Chapter 23: Mismatched Body and Thick Curse Power

Unlike modern society with well-established rules and regulations, the foundation of the world of magic is still a fairly blatant law of the jungle.

Why were the three great families able to become the upper echelons that dominate the world of sorcery?

Of course, it is because they are supported by the power of blood, so it is much easier for them to grow and become stronger than ordinary sorcerers. They also control a lot of secrets and intelligence, so they can surpass ordinary sorcerers.

A sufficiently powerful sorcerer would hardly be punished even if he disobeyed the orders of the High Commissioner or refused to carry out a commissioned mission.
