Orion, after having no idea what to do, went back to his last option: fixing the command seal so that he could use it to bring back Merlin, just like he did in the Fate world.
But again, there were problems with that. The first and most obvious problem was that he needed to figure out how to use the Berserker command seal to summon a mage like Merlin.
Strangely, he had received two command seals when he was in the Fate world. One was the Berserker command seal, which he had on his...

Orion, after that talk with Eric, came back to Hogwarts, half frustrated and half disappointed.
'That man isn't even ready to believe that Merlin taught me, let alone help me bring him back...'
Right now, he just wanted to strangle Eric, but he was already dead. Once again, he found himself in a situation where he couldn't find any way to bring back Merlin.
But his visit to Eric wasn't a complete waste. He learned a lot about the past and what this power really is.
A f...

It really took a long time for Eric to tell his story to Orion. By the time he was done, Orion had only one thing to say:
"God damn it, that was way too much. Though the highlight has to be you being a complete fucking fool and turning yourself into a vampire." Orion couldn’t help but retort after hearing what kind of things Eric had done.
Eric didn’t react to this; his silence was a way to agree that Orion wasn’t wrong.
The entire story was overwhelming, but to simpli...

The next day, Orion went back to the mansion. He didn't even bother telling anyone that he was leaving Hogwarts in broad daylight.
He found himself again in front of the abandoned mansion, but at least this time, thanks to him, the place was clean.
His legs mindlessly took him inside the mansion toward the secret hidden lab.
"Yo, did you sleep well?" Orion asked with a smile. His tone was cheerful. Maybe the reason was that he finally had a lead which could help him bring ba...

"What do you mean by you burned my body?" he suddenly asked, almost alarmed at what the boy said.
"Yeah," Orion replied, not understanding why it was a big deal. He had burned the body—so what? Why would a dead man care so much about his body? In fact, wasn't this better? Burning his body meant it couldn't suffer anymore.
"That's impossible. You must be mistaken," Eric reacted.
"Nope, I'm pretty sure that vampire zombie burned to a crisp," Orion said, still unfazed. He yaw...

"Fuck it, I don't even care anymore," Orion muttered under his breath. He didn't want to think about it any longer. He already had a terrible headache and was dead tired.
"So, Merlin is your master? Great.
Welcome to the fucked-up life club. Glad to see there are more like me." Sarcasm dripped from his words.
Hearing this, Eric didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Orion's comment. He just chuckled, attributing it to the generational gap. But then what Orion said next ...

"Let me see, where to start telling you this story. I’m not even sure if you’ll believe me if I say the whole thing.
Would you believe me if I said that I am thousand years old?" Eric asked with a slight smile, as if he already knew the boy in front of him wouldn’t believe him. But something told him that this wasn’t an ordinary person.
The child in front of him was different. Even though Eric was dead and without flesh, making it impossible to sense magic, he could still ...

"Alright then, explain yourself. How did you turn into a vampire? How are you still here if your body has turned into a vampire? And what do you have to do with this particular place?" Orion calmed himself down, knowing that he needed to gather as much information as possible from the man.
"I don't mind explaining, but what happened to manners? You don't even introduce yourself and come demanding answers." The vampire-turned-human wizard replied, his tone shifting from his usual casual ...

Yuta sat across from Nighteye in his office. The situation was pretty awkward. Nighteye's piercing gaze seemed to look right through him, analyzing every movement, every breath. Yuta shifted slightly in his seat, feeling that he should have just stayed away; it wasn’t like the information from Nighteye had helped him at all.
"I'll get straight to the point," Nighteye began, knowing that Yuta's concentration could be as fleeting as a goldfish if he wasn’t interested. From their last ...

Looking after a child was hard as heck. Yuta's respect for his grandma increased tenfold. And Rika was among the best of the children. She hardly cried or demanded anything outrageous.
But more than anything, he was sure that even if she did, he couldn't get angry at her—she was just too cute.
Last night, he had come back to his house with something good for the little girl to eat and then fell asleep directly. He had no idea what he would do from tomorrow. He had to go to the N...

It took some time to calm Rika, who was on the verge of exploding into tears. Doing that in front of others was even more troublesome; he didn’t want others to see him like an idiot talking to thin air.
After finishing his conversation with the rest of Class 1-A, Yuta felt a tug at his heart, knowing there was one more person he needed to talk to: Toru. She had been on his mind the entire time, and he knew she had been worried sick about him.
Yuta found Toru sitting alone near o...

Conversation with friends is always a joy, as long as a dozen of them aren’t shouting in your ears at the same time. That’s exactly what Yuta was facing right now, with people screaming almost directly into his ear.
Yuta sat in the common room of Class 1-A, surrounded by his classmates, who were all eagerly waiting for him to spill the details of his epic fight with All For One. The atmosphere was noisy as hell, but still, Yuta preferred this over the quiet of the hospital room. He ...

Yuta heard the voice and immediately knew who it was—none other than Izuku.
"Izuku, how are you?" Yuta smiled after finally seeing a familiar face. Izuku, however, almost vanished from his spot and appeared near Yuta, making it seem as though he had materialized out of thin air.
"Oh my god, are you okay? Why aren’t you in the hospital? How did you end up fighting that Nomu? Are you hurt anywhere? Did you even heal from that previous fight?" Izuku...

Orion wasn't sure anymore. For some reason, only he could see Rika. Others couldn't even see an object if it was in contact with her. It was very strange.
Explaining her existence was hard—really hard. But because Nezu and the others saw objects disappearing and then reappearing right in front of their eyes, they gave Yuta the benefit of the doubt.
Many tests were arranged to determine whether Yuta was telling the truth, but all of that would have to wait. The adults were now in...

'Does that name ring any bells? Hmm, it seems like I'm forgetting something—something very important that I’ll most likely regret later on.' Yuta tried to remember, but nothing came to mind.
Even though he couldn't recall anything specific, he knew this wasn’t the first time he’d heard the name. He had a feeling it was significant.
He knew he was missing something, but since he couldn't remember it right now, he decided to go with the flow.

He was the only one who could see the girl. After the officer failed to notice her, Yuta went around and asked others if they could see her.
To his surprise, none could.
"A quirk that only lets certain people see her?" Yuta pondered and considered taking her to Aizawa, thinking that maybe his quirk could help.
But he just shook his head—that was his last option, and he wasn’t willing to go to Aizawa just yet.
Sighing in defeat, Yuta couldn’t do anything but buy s...

“Yes, that’s my name. What about you?” Yuta smiled back, being gentle with the girl and asking her name to identify her.
“I... I am... Hmm.” The girl cutely tapped her hand to the side while pondering her own name. She looked adorable, but for Yuta, this was a headache. How was he supposed to find out who she was if she couldn’t e...

Seeing the haunted house in front of him, Yuta couldn't help but sigh; he should have at least brought a light.
Then he suddenly realized that he did have a survival kit in his system space. There should be something useful in there, right?

He kept the kit just in case he ever needed it. Who knows when he might go into survival mode, right? ...

After getting rid of the Nomu, Yuta finally unlocked the side mission. But all he received was an address. Confused, he was not sure what to do next.
'The address is close enough,' Yuta pondered after reading it and thought about his next steps.

Nah, I'd rather get out of here right now and first check out what...

Once again, the King's engine roared to life, but this time, Yuta applied it to his ROFA Overdrive. The mere use of his 10% ROFA shot up to 15%. Although this is nothing compared to the staggering 75% of what Yuta is capable of when using OFA alone, the nature of ROFA somewhat balances that issue.
Golden light sparkles around Yuta, and small strips of golden hair appear on his head. Like magic, a red nunchuck materializes in his hands; this is, of course...

All the way to the tower, I talked with Karin, and the girl finally opened up about her life, describing her experiences in the Kusagakure village and the monsters in human form who lived there.
"They are the reason why my mother died. I will never forgive them," Karin said, her emotions raw. It’s understandable, given that she hasn’t had anyone to confide in, and now that I’m listening, she’s pouring out all her feelings.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she sobbed on th...

Karin had no idea what to say. Though she was not a medical-nin, she realized the extent of the damage to her leg. The level of pain she had felt was far beyond anything she was accustomed to.
She was used to pain—her life had been filled with it—but this pain was different. It was a new, intense kind of agony, highlighting the seriousness of her wound. Seeing it heal instantly was astonishing.
She could only sit there, staring at the deer that had healed her as if by magic, a...

"Why did you save me?" Karin was silent for a long time, perhaps afraid of the height as we soared on Nue's back.
"Well, honestly, I don’t have any particular reason. Mainly, I helped because I saw your red hair. If I’m not wrong, you’re an Uzumaki, right? Konoha used to have a good relationship with the village of Uzu back then.
Or maybe I just couldn’t let a girl like you die in front of me," I replied with a shrug. Karin blinked, and a slight blush appeared on her face....

Life works in mysterious ways. I wasn’t planning on revealing myself in front of Karin, but ultimately had to because, just like in the anime, her life was in danger here too.
I saw Karin and her team were complete idiots and decided to attack the Sand team of all people.

Not everything can go like it did in the anime. Team Grass (Karin's team) unfortunately ran into Gaara's team.

It is well known in the ninja world that clone jutsus are hard to differentiate from the original. Even those with dojutsu are often helpless against them. Among the most notorious clone jutsus are wood clones and shadow clones, which are particularly difficult to distinguish from the real person.
