"However, the new Master still needs some time to be trained."
Looking at Shirou Emiya, who had returned to normal on the screen, although the complete set of organs made for him before were all made using Lu Minghao's body, the current body is not his main body, but only Caster's spirit base, plus a part of Lu Minghao's main body information.
Although it still has erosion and contamination, the effect is greatly reduced compared to the main body.
The organs in Shirou Emiya's body are like seeds. As they absorb more and more negative emotions, the seeds will sprout and grow continuously with Shirou Emiya's body as the soil, and finally cultivate a perfect Master.
"It seems that I have to give Shirou Emiya something harsh."
Saying that, Lu Minghao looked in the direction of the Matou family. If he saw everything Sakura Matou had experienced with his own eyes, he believed that the seeds in Shirou Emiya's body would grow a lot... Well, before that, Shirou Emiya would have to experience Sakura Matou's mana transfer experience.
After all, he is a kind slime.
Of course, he has to worry about the Master's love life. He believes that Sakura Matou will not refuse this kind of thing, as they are already in love with each other.
"Shirou, the Giant Hero, I still prefer this title. The man who gave up the world for his sister and ended the Holy Grail War overnight is what I want. What kind of hero of justice is too funny, forget it."
Touching his chin, Lu Minghao began to think about how to train the Master. He thought the Shirou, the Giant Hero, template from another dimension was pretty good, but in this world, Shirou Emiya doesn't have a sister. All he has is his never-before-seen sister, Illya.
Then Lu Minghao can only reluctantly replace the sister with Sakura Matou.
The first step of the current plan is to have Sakura Matou and Shirou Emiya complete the mana transfer, and incidentally let Shirou Emiya understand everything that happened to Sakura Matou. As for the end, of course, it is to let Shirou Emiya lose everything and successfully awaken to become Shirou, the Giant Hero.
"That's a good plan."
On the sofa, Lu Minghao looked at Shirou Emiya in the TV with a smile on his face, already knowing about the Holy Grail War from Artoria. Let me, your most considerate Servant, help you complete the transformation from a hero of justice to Shirou, the Giant Hero!
"Caster, what are you talking about?"
At this time, Rin Tohsaka, wearing pajamas and rubbing her eyes, walked in from the stairwell. After picking up the water on the table and drinking it, she turned her head and curiously asked Lu Minghao. She vaguely heard Lu Minghao talking about some kind of plan when she was downstairs just now.
"It's nothing, I'm just talking about the plan to prepare for the Holy Grail War next."
"So that's it, then thank you for your hard work."
Hearing that it was for the Holy Grail War, Rin Tohsaka was stunned for a moment, then thanked Lu Minghao with a serious face, and then turned around and returned to her room to change her clothes. Due to the battle between Lu Minghao and Cu Chulainn last night, the school has now been completely closed.
The teaching building was also almost demolished, so the school notified all students as soon as possible this morning that they would take a week off for the time being, and whether to postpone the start of school would depend on the situation later.
In this regard, although Rin Tohsaka felt very sorry for those students who wanted to study hard, she had to admit that the sudden holiday allowed her to have more time to devote to the upcoming Holy Grail War.
Dinglingling!
"Hello, this is the Tohsaka residence, may I ask who you are... So it's Kirei, what's the matter?"
"The last participant has appeared."
"What, the last participant has appeared? Who is it?"
"Shirou Emiya."
"How is that possible? The last Master is actually him. No, I must confirm this matter now!"
After speaking, Rin Tohsaka, who had just changed her clothes, hung up the phone directly, called Lu Minghao, who was lying on the sofa, and left the house towards Shirou Emiya's house.
"Shirou, an enemy is approaching!"
In the living room of the Emiya residence, Shirou Emiya, who had not slept all night, was suddenly stopped by Artoria next to him. When he looked up, he realized that Artoria was already holding a bright long sword in front of him, and her blue eyes were full of calmness as she stared at the direction of the door.
"Be careful!"
Suddenly, Artoria's face changed drastically, and she turned around and hugged Shirou Emiya behind her, leaving the room. In the next second after they left, a scarlet fireball fell from the sky, and the huge power directly collapsed the entire house, and the wooden materials were ignited by the fire.
"You're launching an attack as soon as you arrive?"
In mid-air, Artoria, holding Shirou Emiya, looked at the destroyed house below. The scarlet flames illuminated her face, which was full of solemnity. The guy who suddenly appeared didn't care at all that it was a residential area nearby, and directly used magic with such great power.
"Shirou, you have to be careful next, the enemy is very dangerous!"
Saying that, Artoria skillfully threw Shirou Emiya out of her arms, and then held the sword in both hands and swung it upwards fiercely, and the sound of the blade colliding rang out fiercely.
"As expected of Saber, what a powerful intuition."
"Who are you?"
"Guess."
Lu Minghao held the long sword solidified with ice, and looked at Artoria in front of him. At this time, Lu Minghao clearly noticed that Artoria's left hand was obviously not strong enough. It must be because the injury from being hit by Cu Chulainn's Gáe Bolg last night had not healed.
"Demon Blood Flame!"
In the next second, Lu Minghao suddenly raised his palm and aimed it at Shirou Emiya, who was looking at him below. The blood-colored viscous flame rushed towards him like a scarlet python. The scorching high temperature instantly caused the flowers and plants in the courtyard to wither, and the earth began to crack.
"Shirou!"
Artoria didn't expect that while suppressing her, Lu Minghao could still attack Shirou Emiya below. She quickly wanted to distance herself to save her Master, but facing Lu Minghao's step-by-step approach, there was no chance at all.
"Damn it!"
Artoria looked at the blood-colored flame python getting closer and closer to Shirou Emiya. She didn't know why, but Shirou Emiya's magic power was terrifying when he summoned her yesterday, and even under the blessing of magic power, all her attributes were improved by half a level.
However, after the battle ended, the magic power provided by Shirou Emiya suddenly decreased greatly, and even guaranteeing her complete combat became a problem.
If the magic power provided by Shirou Emiya now was the same as last night, Artoria was sure that she would not be easily suppressed by the strange Heroic Spirit in front of her, and she could even find time to attack her Master.
While Artoria wanted to get rid of Lu Minghao as soon as possible, Shirou Emiya below was running forward with all his strength, and from time to time he would look back at the blood-colored flame python behind him, which was obviously still several meters away from him.
But Shirou Emiya already felt his whole body burning hot, a lot of sweat dripped uncontrollably, and even Shirou Emiya vaguely smelled a burnt smell. He knew that it was his hair that had begun to burn spontaneously under the high temperature.
'What the hell is going on? It's only been one night, and my peaceful daily life has become like this?'
Looking at the flame python getting closer and closer behind him, the aura of death pressed on Shirou Emiya's nerves like a shadow, and even Shirou Emiya vaguely had hallucinations. He seemed to see again the scene where he was killed by the man with the spear last night.
A relentless torrent of negative emotions, fear, and frustration surged uncontrollably through his mind. His once-calm heart began to race, and life force tainted with the aura of Original Sin flooded Shirou Emiya's body, converting into a ceaseless stream of magical energy.
"This is the feeling!"
The constant influx of mana suddenly filled Shirou Emiya's exhausted body with power. An unprecedented idea sparked in his mind, and he instinctively turned his gaze towards a large tree in front of him.
At the instant he was about to be devoured, Shirou Emiya used a large amount of mana to strengthen his legs, leaping up in a flash. Mid-air, Shirou Emiya watched the fiery serpent bite a crater several meters wide into the ground, and a flood of inexplicable memories washed over him.
The next second, Shirou Emiya suddenly raised his hand, his eyes fixed on a long staff on a weapon rack not far away.
"Trace, on!"
Magical light flared in Shirou Emiya's palm, and as the fiery serpent lunged again from below, a long staff constructed entirely of magical energy materialized in Shirou Emiya's hand. He then looked at the fiery serpent, now within arm's reach.
Shirou Emiya abruptly raised the staff, and substantial magical energy coiled around it as he slammed it down.
Bang!
With a deafening explosion, the fiery serpent's head, the size of a bathtub, detonated. Scattered sparks rained across the ground, and Shirou Emiya, staff in hand, stood amidst the flames, looking up at the two figures who had ceased their battle above.
"Shirou?"
Artoria landed beside Shirou Emiya, her eyes filled with concern as she looked at him. Shirou Emiya's otherwise handsome face was twisted into a sinister grin, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Lu Minghao in the air. The raging killing intent emanating from him caused the surrounding flames to flicker wildly.
"Caster, what are you doing!"
Just then, Rin Tohsaka, finally arriving at the scene, breathless, stared in disbelief at everything before her. She had only asked Lu Minghao to come ahead to check on Shirou Emiya's condition, how had it turned into this?
"Just like you see, fighting. What else could it be?"
In the air, Lu Minghao spread his hands in response to Rin Tohsaka's question, his face completely serious.
"But..."
"But what? Master, you haven't forgotten that this Holy Grail War has only one victor. Everyone except yourself is an enemy. Or are you not planning to win the Holy Grail War?"
Just as Rin Tohsaka was about to continue questioning Lu Minghao, Lu Minghao suddenly lowered his head, his eyes filled with indifference as he looked at Rin Tohsaka. His expression suggested that if Rin Tohsaka didn't give him an explanation, he would eliminate her right then and there.
"It's... it's... it's that we can unite together. After we eliminate the other Masters and Servants, we can then decide the victor. This way, we can greatly increase our chances of obtaining the Holy Grail. Plus, Shirou Emiya and I are classmates, making us natural allies."
Facing Lu Minghao's relentless pressure, Rin Tohsaka, already feeling guilty, thought for a moment, then began to explain. But in reality, she wanted to protect Shirou Emiya from dying in this Holy Grail War. After all, she didn't want that child to be heartbroken because of Shirou Emiya's death.
After all... she owed her too much. Because she was the older sister, Sakura was unable to inherit the Tohsaka family's magic crest and was adopted into the Matou family by her father.
"Master, do you even believe the words you're saying?"
"I..."
Faced with Lu Minghao's relentless questioning, Rin Tohsaka could no longer say anything, and subconsciously looked at her left hand... only two Command Spells remained...
"Tohsaka-san, I don't need an alliance. Thank you for your kindness!"
At that moment, Shirou Emiya's voice suddenly interrupted Rin Tohsaka's thoughts. When she looked up, she realized that Shirou Emiya had unknowingly walked up to her, his bloodshot eyes looking at her with lingering killing intent.
"Shi... Shirou... san?"
Looking at Shirou Emiya, who was close at hand, Rin Tohsaka subconsciously took a few steps back, completely unable to believe that this young man, who seemed full of killing intent and violence, was the same Shirou Emiya who was usually gentle and never refused anyone's requests.
"Tohsaka-san, last night's battle at school with another Servant was you, wasn't it? And you were the ones who saved me and brought me back after I was killed, right?"
"...Yes."
Rin Tohsaka was silent for a few seconds, then nodded, admitting it.
"Then leave. As repayment for saving me last night, I will forgive what happened tonight, but the next time we meet, we will be enemies."
After speaking, Shirou Emiya turned and walked towards his house, which was now half-collapsed. Artoria, who had a large supply of mana, looked up at Lu Minghao above, then suddenly swung her long sword, and a violent gust of wind immediately dispersed the flames in the courtyard.
"Next time, the battle will definitely not be like this."
After speaking, Artoria's body disappeared from the spot, leaving only Rin Tohsaka standing there blankly, and Lu Minghao in the air with a strange smile on his face.
"Let's go, Master. Or are you still clinging to the ridiculous idea of forming an alliance with the other side?"
"Hmph!"
Hearing Lu Minghao's mocking words, Rin Tohsaka snorted, flicked her twin tails, and strode towards the gate. Behind her, Lu Minghao watched Rin Tohsaka's back, put his hands behind his head, and followed along, swaying back and forth.
This time, he deliberately provoked the conflict between Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya. Firstly, it was to observe the extent to which the seed in Shirou Emiya's body had grown, and secondly, it was to prevent Rin Tohsaka from forming an alliance with Shirou Emiya as in the original story.
If that were the case, his upcoming Great Hero Project would definitely encounter accidents. After all, if he wanted to create the Great Hero Emiya, Rin Tohsaka's younger sister, Sakura Matou, was a necessity. With Rin Tohsaka around, his plan would definitely encounter many accidents.
Therefore, Lu Minghao simply made Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya fall out.
As for whether doing so would make Rin Tohsaka unhappy, Lu Minghao expressed that it was none of his business. Anyway, it was Rin Tohsaka who was unhappy, not him. Besides, he didn't need to care so much about a Master who was about to be replaced, right?
Half an hour later, upon returning to the Tohsaka residence, Rin Tohsaka directly ignored Lu Minghao's presence, glared at him resentfully, then went upstairs and locked the door to her room.
"What a willful Master, but who told me to be so kind, I'll just forgive you."
Hearing the sound of the door slamming upstairs, Lu Minghao lay on the sofa, unconcerned, and even had the leisure to consider whether to let Rin Tohsaka experience a mana transfer before killing her after replacing her as Master, so that she wouldn't die as a young girl who had never experienced anything.
That would be too pitiful. After all, in this country, high school students who are still virgins will be looked down upon by their friends, considered uncharming, and it would be a shame to be seen playing with her.
