IBHJ Chapter 306

The group hopped into Reines' car and the vehicle swiftly whisked them off to their destination.

During the ride, Caules filled her in on the situation. It seemed his teacher had taken on a murder case involving a magus and was currently in the midst of investigating it. However, the killer's methods had proven to be quite enigmatic, and they required the assistance of Reines' Mystic Eyes.

Shirou already had a hunch about the identity of this teacher, given the hints dropped by Ca...

Reines was one sharp, cunning girl. She could dislike or resent someone, but you'd never catch a glimpse of it on her face. It was like she had a poker face on steroids. Even when she had to be around the people she despised, she didn't show a hint of impatience. Instead, she sported a smile as gentle as a spring breeze, coupled with her stunningly beautiful and charming face. It was like a masterclass in deception.

Loads of people fell for her trickery and ended up getting entangled in...

Shirou's expression grew serious. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Over 1,500 years ago, he had fought hard to suppress the Age of Gods, and now it seemed like it was about to be unleashed again?

"You're not messing around, right, Zelretch?" He couldn't help but ask, his voice filled with concern.

The consequences of the Age of Gods coming back were too dire to ignore. Just the shift from the modern era to the Age of Gods, with the resurgence of the "True Ether," would be ...

"Fujimaru-sama, you don't happen to be interested in this wisdom book, do you?" she narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked.

"Miss Reines, you're overthinking. I have no interest in any wisdom book."

"I see." she carefully observed his face and then said, "Actually, even if Fujimaru-sama had any interest in the wisdom book, it wouldn't matter. Because the one on display here is a forgery. The authentic one was stolen long ago."

"Stolen?" he was taken aback.

She nodded sli...

The Mage's Association, in simple terms, served as a support network for those devoted to the study of Magecraft. However, the reality was far messier than one might expect.

The Mage's Association consisted of three distinct organizations. First off, there was the Atlas Academy, situated in the majestic Atlas Mountains of Egypt. It stood as a holy ground for alchemists, and back in the days, the Atlas Academy boasted an exceptional alchemist, who later became known as Night of Wallachia...

"Fujimaru Shirou... Is he someone Uncle knows back in Fuyuki City? But he doesn't strike me as a magus; he looks like an ordinary guy."

Seated comfortably in the back of a sleek, black extended Rolls-Royce Ghost, Reines El-Melloi Archisorte peered through the window at the young man standing at the intersection.

With his shoulder-length black hair and donning a black coat over a white shirt, he exuded a polished and professional aura.

Yet, there was nothing particularly rema...

Shirou managed to secure a seat by the window, while Arcueid had a seat in a different section. However, a twist of fate occurred when she and the person sitting next to him decided to swap tickets, resulting in Shirou and Arcueid sitting together.

At first, the person next to Shirou seemed hesitant. "Just because you're beautiful doesn't mean I'll give up my seat for you. Your beauty has no impact on me." However, she pulled out a gold coin and, with the persuasive power of money, the ...

After a few days, Merlin got in touch with Shirou, mentioning that Zelretch was currently at the Clock Tower in London. This news prompted Shirou to decide on taking a trip to the Clock Tower himself.

The Clock Tower, being the epicenter of the modern Mage's Association, was rife with various factions and intricate power struggles, akin to a palace drama. Shirou knew that if he were to enter casually, he would likely draw the attention of troublesome people. Hence, he devised a plan to ...

In the following days, Shirou meticulously combed through Fuyuki City and the Emiya household once again, but his efforts yielded no results.

He also discovered from Scathach that this information had been relayed to her by Merlin. Interestingly, ever since Shirou's return over a year ago, Merlin had never directly contacted him. Any communication or messages were always delivered through Scathach. While Shirou found this a little strange, he decided not to dwell on it too much.

"Ainsworth..."

Shirou frowned as he examined the Archer-class card he held in his hand.

It wasn't just his ability to see through everything that made him furrow his brow. As a transmigrator, Shirou was quite familiar with the TYPE-MOON universe.

This Class Card originated from the world of "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya," crafted by none other than the Ainsworth family. It served as a conduit, allowing its wielder to tap into the immense power of the Servants from the Thro...

The cold blade sliced through the night sky, aimed straight at Shirou's face.

His expression remained stoic as the black muds surged with a crackling sound, swiftly forming a wall that effortlessly intercepted the blade.

The dreadful curse took hold, causing the blade to corrode and shatter upon contact with the muds.

In the blink of an eye—

A black fist burst forth from the mud wall, poised to strike the assailant. Yet, in a crimson flash, the attacker had already r...

As he sensed someone approaching from behind, the man swiftly spun around, aiming his handgun at Shirou. The dark barrel emitted a menacing aura.

"It's you." However, upon recognizing Shirou, the man paused, his grip on the handgun relaxing.

"Have you sensed something off about this place too, Kiritsugu?" Shirou raised an eyebrow and asked.

The man before him was none other than Emiya Kiritsugu, a former magus killer turned writer.

Kiritsugu nodded, not saying much. View Post

There are so many people in this world, whether they're magi or Dead Apostles, who just want to cause trouble. Though they didn't pose much of a threat to him, it was still important to keep a close eye on things to prevent any major incidents or harm to those around him.

In reality, his true form didn't have Mystic Eyes that could see things that are normally invisible. However, by using the Noble Phantasm of the Eternal King, he could see through anything and everything.

The principle remained the same: if you could solve everything by carpet bombing, was there really a need for one-on-one combat with weapons?

However, Shirou resisted the temptation to fall into this train of thought.

The Eternal King was undoubtedly powerful, but his weaknesses were also quite evident.

One of them being his enormous mana consumption.

The only person who could sustain the Eternal King at maximum power was probably Shirou himself during the Fourth Holy ...

This place was like a realm of shadows, devoid of sunlight. Darkness loomed everywhere, with shadows that could corrupt one's very soul if exposed for too long.

But the Queen of this kingdom, Scathach, vowed to banish the word "corruption" from her vocabulary forever. She even hated her former self for entertaining thoughts of suicide. That decision plunged her into an entire year of unending torment, both physical and mental, where she faced death over ten thousand times.

Now, sh...

Arcueid grumbled, "You know, I'm technically an escaped convict. That dingy little cell I was trapped in? It was pure torture."

"Who told you to go around claiming you'd be the next big light novel author, only to miss three deadlines?" Shirou retorted. "Consider yourself lucky your editor hasn't strangled you yet. That's something."

"Here are today's assignments."

Finally, after patiently waiting for the teacher to finish doling out homework, Fujimaru Ritsuka packed up her bag and glanced toward the door. As expected, her brother and sister were already waiting by the door.

After bidding farewell to her friends, Ritsuka hurried over and tugged at Shirou's clothes, eagerly exclaiming, "Hey, brother! Guess what? I scored 87 on the last math test! 87!"

"Hey, Shirou, come check this out! Look at the massive rack on the female protagonist in this manga!" Issei eagerly attempted to show him an explicit manga.

Shirou: "..."

As he glanced at Issei's excited expression, he couldn't help but but sigh. It had only been a few years since they last saw each other, yet he couldn't believe how much Issei had changed.

Recalling the Issei he knew before he left, Shirou couldn't help but wonder what had happened. Back then, Issei was str...

"Ugh..."

Waking up felt incredibly unpleasant.

It had become a routine. Despite having a pleasant dream, Shirou, a constantly lethargic and sleepy student, found himself forcefully yanked and dragged by his younger sister—an experience that left anyone feeling uncomfortable.

Especially for someone like Fujimaru Shirou, who adored sleeping in and had a knack for indulging in laziness.

With his eyes still shut, Shirou furrowe...

These two kings differed greatly from her own king, displaying stark contrasts in their personalities and ambitions.

One of them embodied a proud and domineering ruler, firmly convinced that all worldly treasures belonged exclusively to him. He exuded arrogance, placing himself at the center of everything and judging others solely by his own standards.

On the other hand, the second king possessed a bold and ambitious spirit, fueled by an unwavering dream of conquering the world. H...

Irisviel noticed the girl's keen perception. Though graceful and composed, she possessed a childlike curiosity and innocence.

One incident stood out vividly in Irisviel's memory: while on a flight, the girl eagerly pointed at birds gliding outside the window, inquiring about their species.

The girl's vibrant curiosity and genuine enthusiasm reminded Irisviel of a child, both amusing and bewildering. Nevertheless, she enthusiastically shared the bird's name and details with the you...

Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel responded to the summons of the family head, hastening their arrival at the ancient castle of Einzbern. The castle, encased in an icy grip, harbored a thousand years' worth of delusion and deception.

Their destination was the chapel of Einzbern Castle, a grand and foreboding location unlike any other. This sacred space was far from a sanctuary for worshipping and seeking solace in divine grace. In a castle inhabited by magi, a "prayer room" stood for a chamb...

Merlin's days of deceiving people without any restraints were over.

Before him, a vast plain unfolded, adorned with an array of vibrant flowers bursting with life.

The view stretched far and wide, only interrupted by the distant forest. Even if one turned around and gazed at the entire expanse of the sky, all they would see was the evenly distributed blue canvas spanning the horizon.

No man-made structures such as fences, houses, city walls, or castles could be found here. View Post

She didn't know who her dad was, not even what he looked like. But she knew someone very well—her amazing and powerful mom.

Her mom was known as the King of Knights, the best knight in the whole kingdom. Even though her mom had a big reputation, sometimes she did silly things and made mistakes, like accidentally cutting herself while slicing apples.

When her mom got mad and seemed like she was going to scold her, something magical happened—her mom somehow controlled her anger ...

She was a knight who had committed the gravest of acts.

Emotions were an elusive concept to her, and the experience of beauty remained foreign. Her decision to pursue kingship wasn't solely predetermined; it was born out of a desire to protect everything she had experienced.

She didn't know what beauty was.

She didn't know what emotions were.

Becoming a king, wanting to protect people, was not driven by any feelings of guardianship within her heart but merely because i...

As her eyes fluttered open, she felt the gentle touch of morning sunlight seeping through the cracks in the window and door.

The room remained cloaked in darkness, save for the warm breath that tickled her chest. Peeling back the covers, she prepared to rise from bed, only to discover the collar of her garments clasped tightly by a tiny hand.

With utmost care, she gingerly disentangled the small hand, afraid of disrupting its owner's sleep.

Stepping into the realm of gods as a mortal imposed an eternal curse, a fateful consequence that now unfolded before her.

Exiled to the outermost fringes of the world, a solitary figure stood in a desolate land, devoid of life or hope.
