Chapter 136

"Two cursed spirits have been exorcised." Kagome informed everyone with a serious face, while asking Kuroi Misato where Tenuchi Riko is. "Ms. Kuroi, where should Riko be now?"

"It should be music class at this time, either in the music room or in the chapel..." Kuroi Misato followed everyone out of the school's long-abandoned outdoor swimming pool area and answered Kagome Takeshi's question, "But the class location is not fixed, it is chosen by the teacher as needed."

"Suyu-kun, what are the plans for the three of you?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately asked Geto Kagome about their arrangements, and prepared to arrange his own and Kirshtalia's actions according to the movements of the sorcerers.

"Ms. Kuroi, go to the music classroom. Wu and Naoko go to the chapel. I'll go find the two invading sorcerers." Kayuki quickly arranged the sorcerers' groups. When he turned around to look at the two seniors running behind him, he found that only Kirshtalia was still following him. "Senior Fujimaru——"

"Ritsuka went with Kuroi." Kirshtalia briefly answered Geto's unspoken question, and reached out to pick up Geto, with the light of magic circuits lighting up his arms and legs. "'Fantasy Enhancement' - legs, arms! I'm going to increase my speed a bit, Geto."

With the help of enhanced magic, Kirshtalia, carrying Geto, swept through several corridors of the school's teaching building as fast as a gust of wind - under the real-time servant navigation provided by Hassan the Hundred Faces, the magician led the sorcerer to quickly approach the location of the invader.

"arrive."

After turning a corner, Kirshtalia stopped decisively, stopped maintaining the enhanced magic, and put down Geto Suguru who he had carried all the way - the old man standing in the middle of the corridor was one of the two sorcerers they were looking for, and the moment the sorcerer saw the two of them, the cursed power activated the spell medium and summoned two shikigami to guard him one in front and one behind.

"That uniform button..."

"Ahaha, it looks like a curser who is quite familiar with high-level magicians." Kirshtalia smiled and stepped back, leaving enough space for Geto to fight. She watched two cursed spirits crawl out from the floor in front of Geto. "The one facing you is a shikigami user, a being of the same kind as you. Such an enemy will know the key points of fighting with magicians of the same kind... the same goes for you."

"But, Geto-kun, don't forget what we told you when we gave you remedial lessons."

——The key to fighting shikigami users, summoners, or other ranged enemies is to get close to them and drag them into close combat, because most ranged players are not good at close combat. You and Gojo are probably the only two magicians who can turn a good ranged combat into a close combat.

—Well, Lord, that is the style of the moth.

——If they do this, it will make me, who has both Strength and Durability, look like an outlier... Who would fight in close combat if they are a normal magician!!! After all, Mr. Merlin is Artoria's swordsmanship teacher, so his Strength is B, which is normal; King Gilgamesh's class that responds to summons to the world is Archer most of the time! Who would think it's weird for an Archer to have Strength B!!!

At the end of the remedial class, Lansemello sighed helplessly at the two people who still liked direct close combat, and once again emphasized to them the necessity of remedial classes during this period of time -

“In fact, whether you are a battle-hardened warrior or a very weak magician, the best way to keep your enemy as far away from you as possible is to keep as much distance as possible. After all, everyone’s body will bleed due to injuries. Although there are heroes in the legends of Nordic and Greek who are invulnerable to swords and guns, they also have absolutely well-known weaknesses.”

"Yeah, it's the Achilles' heel. If they are attacked in this area, their invulnerable bodies will turn back into ordinary people's bodies and get injured and bleed. Warriors who need to fight in close combat can't extend the distance. That's because they are constrained by their fighting style. And if you and Gojo Satoru are explained using the game's professions, you should be the Summoner and the Turret Master."

"Well, anyway, as long as you still have a body, it's always better to stay away from the enemy than to get close to them - because no one knows when an enemy will kill you in the simplest way." Lancermello smiled and made a gesture of cutting the neck to Geto, "Don't get too cocky just because you keep shouting 'we are the strongest'."

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the recent lessons - Gojo hasn't beaten Emiya yet, right?"

"Let's wait until we can turn the tie into a victory before we catch up."

Xia Yujie closed his eyes - and soon several cursed spirits crawled out from behind and surrounded Xia Yujie.

At the same time, a black crack appeared behind the curser. A tall female cursed spirit staggered out of the crack holding a pair of huge scissors.

"Am I beautiful?"

——Level 1 Cursed Spirit Rift Woman, simple domain expansion.

"...I checked the information of the technical high school." Before the cram school started, Lansemello had a private conversation with Geto. "Your technique, Curse Spirit Manipulation, can be listed as the highest-level technique among shikigami-using sorcerers. I remember you said that as long as you can subdue the curse spirit, you can take it for your own use, right?"

"Then let me briefly explain what we plan to achieve with your tutoring."

"You should know about Solomon's 72 demons. The ultimate goal of the extra lessons is to enable you to use your familiars to hold all enemies at a distance like Solomon. However, the short-term goal is... we hope that you can learn to control the location of the release of cursed spirits, arrange each cursed spirit in a favorable position as much as possible, and learn to use at least two digits of cursed spirits to act at the same time."

——Although when he heard that Solomon was set as the ultimate goal to be achieved in his tutoring, Geto decisively complained about Chaldea's fantasy, but since the El-Melloi classroom determined that he had passed the first stage of the course, then at least Geto himself was really learning, and he really put what he learned into his fighting habits to try to change it.

In the simple territory of the Slit-mouthed Woman, because there was no response, the curser and his shikigami were forced to stop preparing for battle and maintain a state of non-aggression with the Slit-mouthed Woman - at the same time, Kagome controlled the cursed power with difficulty and summoned a new cursed spirit under the feet of the curser.

A giant worm-like cursed spirit opened its mouth in the pitch-black vortex and swallowed the curser, his shikigami, and the slit-mouthed woman together - after the worm cursed spirit appeared, Geto Suguru hurriedly recovered the slit-mouthed woman, successfully preventing his own cursed spirit reserves from being accidentally damaged in his hands.

After confirming that she didn't need to worry too much about Geto, Kirshtalia followed Geto to a new location while exchanging information with Fujimaru Ritsuka in the subconscious communication channel.

"Kirshtalia: Did you hear the gunshot, Ritsuka?"

"Fujimaru Ritsuka: I heard it, but no one except us would have noticed it - by the way, judging by the sound, it should be Kiritsugu-san's Calico M950... Alter-san's twin guns don't make this sound, and Emiya-san usually uses a bow and arrow or dual swords."

"Kirshtalia: Did you hear any gunshots that weren't theirs?"

"Fujimaru Ritsuka: No one among the cursers should use guns, just like no magician who fought in the Holy Grail War used pure physical attack methods except Kiritsugu Emiya in the Fourth Holy Grail War."

"Kirshtalia: ...Understood. Remember to protect yourself, and don't stand up to the enemy if they come - after all, you are just a "quasi-second-level" in their eyes."

"Fujimaru Ritsuka: Of course I know. So the Hassans were all repatriated first? Gojo Satoru should have picked up Riko, so things here will be over soon."

"Kirshtalia: Okay."

"Fujimaru Ritsuka: But... speaking of Kiritsugu-san - I want to modify the original plan. I want to try to save someone."

"Kirshtalia: ...Just do it if you want to. We will help you."

"Ritsuka noticed that." Roman opened the new email sent by Fujimaru Ritsuka and smiled helplessly, "The one who can be saved, but the world consciousness did not ask us to intervene as part of the commission."

“As long as you show Kiritsugu Emiya in front of her, she will notice it herself.” Lansemello stood behind Roman’s chair, looking at a photo displayed in a window that took up a quarter of the screen. “Although it’s a world of difference for a father - but since he can go back alive, it’s better than disappearing silently in the child’s memory.”

“It will be very lively here from now on, right?” Marisbilly took a sip of tea and turned his chair towards Lancelmero and Roman. “I won’t join in the excitement of this parent-child activity—”

"Who left little Mary, who was only twelve years old, alone in the clock tower?" Lansemello turned his head to look at Marinesbury and frowned at him. "If I hadn't argued with you, you wouldn't even have called her back."

“Cough cough cough…”

“There’s nothing to talk about between me and that shepherd, you know?” Roman grabbed his hair guiltily and smiled helplessly at Lancermello. “Besides, you guys don’t intend to expose my identity to the sorcerer… David and I definitely won’t show up at the same time.”

"Even if it's exposed, it won't be your turn to show up." Lancer Mello glanced at the contents written in the computer and said meaningfully, "Fushiguro Shiori has a biological son, Fushiguro Megumi, and he also has a stepdaughter, Fushiguro Tsumeki; Emiya Kiritsugu has a biological daughter, Illya, and an adopted son, Emiya Shirou."

"Although your family is large, it seems that there is not even a sister on the Throne of Heroes."

When the people who were guarding Tenuchi Riko reunited again, they discovered that Kuroi Misato was missing - at the same time, Tenuchi Riko received a message from Kuroi Misato.

"Ah, there's news from Kuroi." Under everyone's gaze, Amauchi Riko opened her flip phone, "What should I do? Kuroi, Kuroi..."

On the screen of the flip phone was a photo of Kuroi Misato taken after she was kidnapped by the curser.
