Chapter 126
After the meeting with Takeshi, as everyone was returning to the parking lot of the high school, another car stopped next to them.
"Welcome back, Dr. Roman." After getting out of the car, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and waved to the driver in the car, "Is there any work that requires you to go out?"
"It looks like things are going well over there." Roman turned off the engine, smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka, got out of the car and looked at Yemo Zhengdao who had a somewhat subtle expression, "Teacher Yemo, we have brought your student back - according to the principal's instructions, we have brought back the rare child who can use the reversal technique to heal others."
"Mr. Yemo, this Mr. Yemo will be your homeroom teacher and lecturer in the rest of your college life." Marisbury introduced the brown-haired girl who had just gotten off the back seat, "You can go to him if you have any questions - and let Mr. Yemo take you to the college."
"Fujimaru, Velvet." Lansermero, the last one to get off the car, closed the door, turned his head to look at the four people standing there, and cleared his throat, "Go back to the meeting."
"yes."
So the seven people from Chaldea left Yega Masamichi and Ieiri Nozomi where they were and left the parking lot first.
"Welcome back."
The two people waiting for the return of those who left the classroom on the ground floor of the Chaldean teaching building were Olgamari and Lenis.
"Go to the conference room first." Lansermero gave instructions concisely.
When all sixty-two people belonging to Chaldea and a few servants gathered in the lecture hall used as a conference room in this teaching building, the report on the results of the first step of the operation began - first was Fujimaru Ritsuka, her project topic report... or rather, her defense was not over yet.
After today's meeting, Fujimaru Ritsuka will conclude his defense here with facts.
"First of all, this operation ends with Geto Kagome agreeing to join Phoenix Chaldea." Fujimaru Ritsuka closed his eyes and stood on the podium to report to everyone, "Although there is still finishing work to be done, Geto Kagome has already signed the contract - so there is no need to rush to complete the finishing work for the time being."
An ordinary Chaldea employment contract turned into a parchment contract with completely different contents when it was waved in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand.
"...This is too much preparation." El-Melloi II complained quietly in his seat, while using magic to enhance his vision to read the text on the parchment. "Strange, the text on it is--"
“You’d better not read on.” Roman glanced at El-Melloi II and interrupted him. “Ritsuka has entered the next stage of becoming invisible earlier than the deputy director and Kirshtalia. Ordinary people, no, magicians in the post-AD era, cannot look directly at text like that.”
"That is a contract that only the guardian of Alaya would sign. For a Servant, the meaning of this contract can be felt without even reading it."
"So that's how it is - this is a new power she has mastered. In this way, Geto Kagome can't go back on the promise he made today." Lansermello calmly watched Fujimaru Ritsuka put away the contract and began to explain the requirements for the finishing work. "Using ordinary people's ideas to deal with ordinary people... This is really Alaya - no, it should be said that Fujimaru would do something."
"After all, she has always been like that."
"...In summary, I would like Professor William James Moriarty to be in charge of contacting Geto's parents." Fujimaru Ritsuka cast his gaze on the golden-haired, red-eyed mathematics professor in the corner of the conference room. "Also, the subsequent plan has not yet been finalized - but the initial plan is to have Geto join the El-Melloi classroom."
"I hope everyone in El-Melloi's classroom will cooperate with my plan in this regard."
"The above is the complete report of this operation."
"Then, the next agenda-" Roman stood up and took over from Fujimaru Ritsuka to the podium, "is about the interference plan of Ieiri Shoko, the holder of the reversal technique who entered the school early."
According to the information known to Chaldea, and after the connection with the magic world was completed, the information obtained by observing the parallel world of the magic world using Chaldeas and Lens Sheba was that Ieiri Shoko was one of the few magicians in the magic world who could use the reversal technique to heal others.
Because Ieiri Shoko's technique is a reversal technique, she has no combat ability - but the upper echelons of the curse world are very concerned about her personal safety, so the fact that she has no combat ability is enough to be directly ignored.
"In terms of a game profession, it's a nanny with absolutely no offensive ability."
——Comment by El-Melloi II, a serious video game enthusiast.
Chaldea's proactive outing this time was precisely to make preliminary preparations for the action plan to interfere with Ieiri Shoko.
However, this contact with Ieiri Shoko also led them to some unexpected discoveries -
"Before we have a preliminary discussion on the plan to interfere with Ieiri Shoko, I think there is something I must tell you in advance." Roman used a projector to project a diagram onto the screen and showed it to everyone. "This is a comparison diagram of the 'diagram of the flow of cursed power by a sorcerer' and the 'diagram of the flow of magician' drawn based on the sorcerers we have met recently."
"The diagram on the left that rotates counterclockwise is the sorcerer, and the diagram on the right that rotates clockwise is our magician."
"The direction of the power flow is opposite..." Shirou Emiya sat next to Rin Tosaka, frowning as he looked at the diagram on the screen. "Why is there such a difference? I remember the report from Chaldea mentioned that magic power, spiritual power, elemental power... and cursed power are essentially the same power, right?"
"But, the report from Chaldea also wrote..." Tosaka Rin quickly flipped back a few pages of her notebook and pointed out a passage to Emiya Shirou, "Cursed power is the power that comes from the negative emotions of humans, and sorcerers will train to extract cursed power from tiny emotions. Cursed power, which is the curse of this world, comes from the overflowing negative emotions of humans."
"Human emotions can indeed be used to refine magic power... but magicians are not limited to using only negative emotions."
"... Let me give you a simple analogy." Lancermello, who was sitting in the last row, looked at the diagram on the screen and pointed at Shirou Emiya's arm. "When a magician uses magic, he needs to use magic circuits to output magic power. And when a sorcerer uses magic, it seems that the process of outputting power to the outside world..."
“But actually, their circuit is running in reverse.”
——Therefore, only sufficient pressure can use the reverse circuit to forcibly pump power out to the outside world.
——However, the more you use it, the more likely you are to have problems.
"Besides, an obvious difference is that magic can heal the wounded, but spells cannot." Kirshtalia spread her hands and continued what Lansemello said, "Magicians can use healing magic as long as they learn it, but spellcasters must learn the reverse spell to heal themselves, and there are very few spellcasters who can heal others."
"Come to think of it, I remember that Naoko Ieiri is a sorcerer who can heal others with a reverse spell, right?"
"Okay, next is a comparison of Ieiri Shoko's 'Character Flow Diagram' and the 'Magician Flow Diagram.'" Roman waited until the discussion in the seats died down, then changed the content displayed on the projector. "Same as the previous comparison picture - the one on the left is Ieiri Shoko, and the one on the right is our magician."
"From this comparison chart, we can see that the direction of the flow of power of Ieiri Naoko is the same as ours."
“The next meeting will be held based on this premise.”
In fact, because there is basically no difference in the experiences of Ieiri Shoko in the parallel world - even though her two contemporaries have passed away, she is still alive in this world - the people of Chaldea initially hesitated whether Ieiri Shoko was within the scope of the world's consciousness.
In the end, it was the judgment made by Fujimaru Ritsuka that made them put Ieiri Shoko in the scope of intervention -
"If the story has already begun, then the happy ending is definitely not just one person left in the world. - Both of Naoko Ieiri's classmates are special-class, so I believe she is definitely not just a reverse technique holder who stays in the high school as a medical staff."
"Ieiri Naoko, she would definitely want to be able to fight - if not to fight alongside her peers, she would at least want to be able to protect herself."
So while Noctua Masamichi went to talk to Geto Suguru, Chaldea obtained the principal's consent and went to pick up Ieiri Shoko who had enrolled early - this was the preliminary preparation Chaldea made to interfere with Ieiri Shoko's fate.
Fortunately, fate always seems to favor them - not only did they successfully control the fate of Geto Suguru and Naoko Ieiri, but they also found an unexpected surprise in Naoko Ieiri.
Because of the innate ability to heal others, Naoko Ieiri's body has a reverse spell that causes the flow of cursed energy to be completely opposite to that of other sorcerers. Since the flow of magic power is the same as that of a magician, it provides Chaldea with a new point of entry for interference.
"Can I say something first?" Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his hand at this time and tilted his head towards Roman on the podium, "Well... because we dumped Mr. Yemo and Naoko Ieiri in the parking lot before - Doctor Roman, is it really okay for the deputy director to do this?"
“About this…” Roman laughed at the podium, “After all, we can’t show that we are actively interfering with them. Although we have reached an agreement with the High Commissioner, we still have to act low-key when necessary. So, as long as Ieiri Naoko takes the initiative to find us, the High Commissioner will have no reason to prevent her from contacting us.”
"To sum it up, I'm just learning from Tai Gongwang - 'Volunteers take the bait', right?"
“That’s the preliminary plan.” Lansemello tapped the table and looked at the comparison chart on the screen that Roman had not yet put away. “Regarding the follow-up plan for Ieiri Naoko, I have some ideas. The direction of her power flow is the same as ours, so can she learn magic?”
"I won't leave it to El-Melloi this time - I want Chiron, Asclepius, Nightingale, and a few others to be in charge of the teaching content of the home glass."
