Shirou Emiya is determined to kill all the cursed spirits and evil spirits

In fact, Emiya himself felt that the finished product was somewhat unsatisfactory. If it weren't for the memories left by Sengo Muramasa as support, he wouldn't even be able to complete the initial steps.

"There's still a lot of work to be done on this sword."

After handing the long sword back to the dazed Zenin Maki, Emiya sighed to himself at the long sword in his hand.

From the perspective of old man Sengo Muramasa, this would probably be counted as one of those weird, defective products.

As his apprentice forged a knife of this quality, he would probably be scolded.

After all, the old man is the kind of person who speaks his mind.

Fortunately, he doesn't need to be trained. He just needs to keep improving his skills based on existing products and experience.

Putting the long sword aside for the time being, Emiya just raised his head to ask about Zenin Maki's origin and identity, but was suddenly attracted by other things on the other person's face.

"Are your glasses... also a cursed tool?"

After all, they are cursed objects, so their characteristics are still extremely obvious to sorcerers.

"Ah, that's right. But it only allows me to see cursed spirits. For a sorcerer, it's a pretty useless curse tool."

Zenin Maki, who was still in a daze, not only revealed the function of her cursed tool, but also subconsciously handed the glasses to Emiya.

"See a curse spirit? It should be a very useful curse tool, right?"

Emiya took the glasses, looked them up and down, and then quickly came to a conclusion in his mind.

Strictly speaking, this wasn't a normal cursed tool. It wasn't completely cursed, but rather had the cursed energy attached to it in a special way.

Even so, long-term use of such cursed instruments can easily cause negative effects on the physical condition of ordinary people, just like what was called "being possessed by evil spirits" in ancient times.

But Emiya still thinks that this cursed tool is very effective.

Although revealing the existence of cursed spirits on a large scale will cause panic and negative emotions to expand uncontrollably, at least if a method can be found at some balance point to allow ordinary people to foresee the cursed spirits in advance, casualties can be greatly reduced in an instant.

"But why would you need a curse tool to observe a cursed spirit... can't you see it?"

Emiya even took another look and found that Zenin Maki was wearing the student uniform of Jujutsu High School. How could she not even be a sorcerer?

"Because I don't have any cursed energy in my body, I was born with the reverse heaven and curse binding."

"Reverse Heaven and Curse Binding?"

"Don't you even know this? The so-called Heaven and Curse Bound refers to being born with a physical disability that is compensated by cursed energy. Reverse Heaven and Curse Bound means being born without any cursed energy, but instead having a strong physical constitution."

The physical fitness brought by the reverse sky and curse binding can even easily crush the first-level magician who uses curse power to strengthen the body. There is no doubt that he is quite powerful.

But unfortunately, this kind of physique is not welcome in the world of spellcasting that uses cursed energy.

Even in a place where strength is valued, it would have been fine, but Zenin Maki was born into one of the three great families, where bloodline is paramount. Unable to inherit a technique, not even a sorcerer, she naturally suffered from constant disdain from a young age.

Otherwise, as a sorcerer from the family, why would she go all the way to study at the Sorcery High School where Gojo Satoru was?

"Use it all to strengthen your physical fitness? That would be amazing."

Emiya, who is only considered a half-baked magician in the magic world, doesn't care so much about the opinions of the sorcery world.

Being powerful is being powerful. Does that mean that no matter how much those sorcerers look down on others, they can become more powerful than them?

"Amazing... Do you really think so?"

Zenin Maki had hardly heard many sorcerers praise Reverse Sky and Jubind.

"Of course, physical strength is much more flexible and adaptable than many techniques, and the same goes for all aspects of combat."

Unlike traditional wizards, sorcerers do not have a variety of spells to deal with different situations. In addition to their own spells, there are only a few special spells that they can learn.

As far as Emiya knows, most sorcerers will more or less involve close combat when exorcising cursed spirits. This is a very common method.

"So you usually use cursed tools to fight, right? You seem a lot better than the other students... Hmm, I guess I'll have to find some time to test everyone's skills."

Emiya hasn't forgotten his duties as a teacher, even though they were forced upon him.

As an important part of combat, lessons on the use of spell tools and close combat are inevitable - but each student's skills are different, so they still need to be instructed individually.

"By the way, your homeroom teacher is also Mr. Gojo?"

There aren't that many students in the entire Jujutsu High School, so Emiya thinks the probability of this happening is still very high.

"That's exactly what happened..."

"Then you will be my student. Since you are skilled in using cursed tools... I'll give you this sword."

Before Zenin Maki could finish her words, Emiya had already quickly installed the handle and blade of the long sword and handed it to her arms without saying a word.

"Ah...ah?"

"After all, it's the product of the first forging, so it's certainly not that powerful, but its toughness is still guaranteed. It won't be a big problem fighting against a first-level cursed spirit."

"Then, I still have to go for other training, so I'd like you to help me clean up the room."

"Ghana~"

The training plan that Emiya set for himself was very tight, and he didn't even have any free time at all.

He doesn't need too much fragmented leisure to reward himself, and rest is really just to restore his physical strength.

However, he was too immersed in the forging process just now, which completely delayed the following time. Otherwise, he would not be so anxious.

Fortunately, one of his students happened to come here, and he had a blade to give to her, otherwise Shirou would feel embarrassed to leave her there alone.

Well, I'll compensate her when the special training starts.

However, Emiya walked away happily, while Zenin Maki was still standing there in a daze with the long sword in his hand.

She didn't understand anything about the teacher or the training plan.

He looks so young, could he really be the teacher of Jujutsu High School, a new one?

Zenin Maki lowered her head to look at the long sword in her hand, then, with a skeptical attitude, swung the sword towards the whetstone beside her.

Click——!

The crisp sound didn't even come from the chopping, but from the whetstone being split and falling to the ground.

"This feeling, is it really a cursed tool... Could it be?!"

Is it even true that it can harm a first-level curse spirit?

So......

"First time forging, is this true??!"

No, are there such creatures as geniuses in this field?

———— ————

After a long time, Emiya returned to his room.

He did not do anything too urgent, but just sat there quietly with his legs crossed, with a blade on his legs, just like Kikuichimon Norimune just now.

However, the weapon he currently possessed was projected by Emiya using projection magic, making it a true treasure.

Emiya is using this blade-zen meditation method to empathize and experience the skills of the Heroic Spirits contained within the Noble Phantasms.

Because the skills brought by the Noble Phantasm will also dissipate after the projection ends, Emiya is trying to leave something behind in this way.

If one wants to experience and comprehend special skills, these projected treasures are his best teachers.

But it is not so easy to really learn something from it.

Everyone has seen various extreme sports and actions on videos, but how many people can actually reproduce them?

What's more, the skills of the heroes are more than a hundred times more advanced than that.

boom--!

The door of the room was kicked open. If nothing unexpected happened, the person who walked in must be Gojo Satoru.

"Ah, what are you doing?"

He quickly walked up to Emiya and leaned his head in to examine the Noble Phantasm.

However, unlike the extremely special holy sword like Durandal, the uniqueness of this treasure lies more in the skill of the holder rather than the uniqueness of the sword.

"Try to learn the skills of the Heroic Spirits."

After seeing Gojo Satoru, Emiya clearly knew that his meditation time must be over.

"Eh--"

"And then, to which great figure does this treasure belong?"

Gojo Satoru asked, deliberately lengthening his tone.

"Okita Souji."

"Relying purely on luck to perform [Black Flash] is still too random, so I want to try to find feasibility through her swordsmanship."

"The sword technique mastered by this heroic spirit is a magic sword that can release three horizontal thrusts at the same time, almost killing with one strike."

Okita Souji is the captain of the first detachment of the Shinsengumi, a security organization based in Kyoto during the late Edo period.

The Three Stages of Innocent Blade, this is the ultimate magic sword created by a rare genius swordsman.

At the moment of the three-step burst, the first burst, the second burst, and the third burst exist simultaneously in the same position.

Even if one strike is blocked, the second and third strikes from the same position will still pierce the sword tip. This contradiction causes the sword tip to become saturated with phenomena. Therefore, the three-step strike becomes a sword technique that is practically undefendable. As a practical application, the resulting saturation of phenomena is also very effective in destroying objects.

Emiya did not expect to be able to understand this secret sword created by superb skills and speed in a short time, but as long as he could understand this technique and output cursed power and physical damage at the same time, the possibility of successfully performing [Black Flash] would be greatly increased.

"I see. A genius swordsman from over a hundred years ago. But stabbing three times simultaneously... is that true?"

Gojo Satoru certainly knew who Okita Souji was. After all, not only in various film and television works, but also in many anime, this genius swordsman always appeared as a beautiful boy.

But if that's the case, if every great swordsman in history really possessed sword skills that transcend the physical sense, it would be difficult for the cursed spirits and sorcerers to be so arrogant until now.

"Instead of dwelling on this, isn't it right in front of us?"

Emiya stretched his stiff body slightly, then placed the long sword in front of Gojo Satoru.

What could be more real than what is right in front of you?

"Really? Your strength is already formidable. If you can truly combine all those extraordinary skills... I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of monster you'll become."

When Gojo Satoru thought about Emiya becoming stronger and stronger, he almost smiled like an aunt.

"Also, the reason I came back so early this time was actually because of another thing—"

"I've finally figured out what you asked me to investigate. It's about that place where the man-made 'Mountain God' was created. According to the records in the documents within the technical college..."

"That was once an active volcano."

Volume 1: Chapter 84: The Sorcerer Disappeared in the Active Volcano

"...active volcano?"

Tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions... For a large part of the human population, the existence and concept of these natural disasters are actually quite distant.

Many people would say that humans are nothing more than insignificant parasites on the Earth, and it is too naive to shamelessly regard ourselves as the masters of the Earth.

This is true.

Humanity has only ever been active on the surface of this planet, never truly exploring its interior. And in terms of time, humanity has only been around for a few million years, a mere drop in the ocean compared to Earth's 46 billion years of existence.

As to what this planet looked like millions and hundreds of millions of years ago, and whether there were other intelligent life forms, humans can only speculate and imagine.

Even in the face of natural disasters caused by the earth, all the technologies that humans have been proud of so far are of no use.

Tsunamis can easily swallow up an entire coastal city, and hurricanes can raze human-built fortresses to the ground, not to mention crustal movements such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. It is no exaggeration to say that they can completely destroy human civilization to date.

It’s just that human history is too short, and fortunately we have not encountered such exaggerated changes.

Even without mentioning these, just talking about the volcanic eruptions that have occurred frequently in modern times, humans have absolutely no way to fight against them.

Wasn’t the second largest city in ancient Rome buried under volcanic ash, and tens of thousands of people in it became a historical specimen?

Even with current human technology, the best we can do is predict natural disasters before they strike and make as many preparations as possible to avoid them.

Human classification of volcanoes is also quite simple and clear: those that have erupted in existing historical documents or may erupt again are collectively referred to as active volcanoes.

The remaining volcanoes that have no possibility of eruption in known history or predictions are naturally extinct volcanoes and dormant volcanoes.

Emiya remembered clearly that the mountains and rivers where the shrine was built were not far from the city. If one were to consider the scope of damage from a volcanic eruption, it would definitely be considered a danger zone.

If the volcano is larger than expected, the material it releases will flow into the sea in large quantities. The impact will not just be felt in one city or one country.
