Chapter 140 Holy Grail Curtain
Fujimura Taiga and Emiya Shirou played for half a day at Ryūdō Temple before returning. Their arrival was like dropping a pebble into calm water, causing ripples that soon subsided.
Ryuudou Issei continued his bookshelf training, aiming to master the Fighting Spirit and complete his ascension.
Meanwhile, Kuzuki focused on tracking changes in the Assassination Book every day.
Every three days, new fist techniques from [Novels] would appear, with varying power levels and prices under 5,000 assassination points.
Some fist techniques were extremely powerful but came with severe restrictions, making them difficult to practice even after exchanging for them.
········
Time passed unnoticed, leaving the start of the new school year just a few days away.
Back Mountain, Open Space.
Ryuudou Issei stood quietly under a large tree in the open space, his expression calm and composed. He assumed an awkward stance with his arms loosely crossed, aiming at the tree in front of him.
He took a deep breath and stepped forward, slicing through the air with his hands like a gust of wind. He struck the tree trunk repeatedly with lightning speed.
After one set of punches, Ryuudou Issei retreated a step and expelled some phlegm.
The tree showed no signs of damage despite being hit, as if he had done nothing.
A few seconds later, the tree trunk inside suddenly exploded with a muted boom. The entire tree snapped and fell to the ground.
From the broken part, Ryuudou Issei noticed that the wood fibers inside had turned into fine powder.
“From today onward, you are officially a True Entry,” Kuzuki said standing beside him.
Ryuudou Issei seemed unfazed, still marveling at his own Fist’s power. He couldn’t believe that even a large tree could be knocked over with just one person’s strength. Such a Fist would be terrifying if used on someone else!
This was the first time Ryuudou Issei had used his Fighting Spirit to activate Hokuto Shinken (Fist of the North Star) Attack, and even he was intimidated by its power.
‘I must avoid using Hokuto Shinken (Fist of the North Star) on anyone unless absolutely necessary. Using it would be equivalent to killing someone,’ Ryuudou Issei reminded himself.
After entering Hokuto Shinken (Fist of the North Star), Ryuudou Issei had successfully completed his summer vacation training.
“Teacher Kuzuki, let’s go eat outside today. It’s a way to thank you for your guidance.”
“Sure,” Kuzuki agreed, opening his mouth to say, “Let’s go.”
“Ah, okay, Teacher Kuzuki, I’ll be right back to change my clothes.”
Ryuudou Issei quickly ran back to Ryūdō Temple and changed into a set of casual clothing.
After having a big meal at Shinto’s Food Street, Ryuudou Issei suggested going for a walk around the city. It had been so long since they’d taken a break during their summer vacation.
Kuzuki rarely wastes his time on things like sightseeing or shopping unless it’s absolutely necessary.
When it comes to enduring loneliness, Kuzuki is far beyond ordinary humans. To others, the life he leads seems monotonous and uninteresting, but Kuzuki finds it endlessly fascinating.
After saying goodbye to Ryuudou Issei, Kuzuki returned to Ryūdō Temple.
He continued his routine of immersing himself in ascetic training.
On September 1st, Homunhara Academy students began their new school year after a summer break.
After some time to adjust, most students returned to campus with a sense of ease and started their busy, structured routines again.
In addition to his usual classes, Kuzuki occasionally asks Ryuudou Issei about cultivation-related questions or difficulties he might be facing.
Fuyuki City is much safer than Mifune City. There are no serial killers, bombs, or other abnormal humans causing trouble. The city is also free of Magus stirring up chaos in the shadows. Life here is quiet and peaceful.
During the day, he teaches at school. In the evenings, he practices cultivation. Sometimes, he goes to the Trial Space to check on his progress with a test space. His life is simple yet fulfilling.
Life continued this way until the new year arrived.
However, even the quiet days eventually come to an end. After the new year, Fuyuki City’s underground ley lines began to show signs of change.
As one of the four major ley lines in Fuyuki City, Ryūdō Temple was highly attuned to changes in Heaven and Earth Vital Energy.
Like a bamboo shoot buried deep underground beginning to sprout, the once-steady flow of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy suddenly started moving. The change wasn’t strong, but it was noticeable.
Something deep within the earth stirred awake.
1994.
Fuyuki City experienced its fourth Holy Grail War. While the details of the war are unknown, it ended with the Holy Grail being destroyed and no winner emerging.
However, because the previous Holy Grail War didn’t fully consume Mana, over ten years later, enough Mana had accumulated in the Fuyuki Spiritual Veil to bring about the descent of the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail War was about to begin once more.
Even on the side of The World, the Holy Grail War remained a secret within secrets. Few Magus knew its true origins.
The fourth Holy Grail War even had an Ordinary Person participating due to insufficient Magus involvement.
In the original story, only six individuals participated in the fifth Holy Grail War—though this was partly due to Caster’s illegal summoning of Assassin.
These six individuals were: Emiya Shirou, a Magus with no understanding of the Holy Grail War; Tohsaka Rin, an excellent Magus who knew some but not all about it.
Matou Sakura…… didn’t want to participate in the war at all, an excellent Magus.
Bazett Fraga McRemitz…… a foreign Magus sent by the Mage’s Association.
Atrum Galiasta…… a nouveau riche Magus from the Middle East.
Illyasviel von Einzbern…… a female artificial Life body created for the Holy Grail, a girl.
Among them, Matou Sakura didn’t want to participate in the war, and Matou Shinji, who was not self-aware, volunteered to participate, so the battle qualification was given to Matou Shinji.
Meanwhile, Bazett was attacked by Kotomine Kirei, the supervisor of the Holy Grail War and a remnant of the previous war, and lost her Master qualification, and Kotomine Kirei participated in the war.
Moreover, Atrum Galiasta was killed by Caster’s attack due to his crazy flag-raising, and then Caster re-established a contract with a new Master, Kuzuki Souichirou, and exploited the loopholes in the Holy Grail system to summon Assassin, making Caster both the Master and the Servant.
Thus, the curtain of the fifth Holy Grail War was raised, and everything began. (There is a World Line where Matou Zouken becomes the Master and summons Assassin, but this is after the Holy Grail War has started.)
…… The above is the background of the original story. In a situation where Kuzuki did not participate and did not disturb, the butterfly did not flap its wings, and everything proceeded according to the predetermined trajectory.
2004.
Mid-January, a hotel in Fuyuki City.
The lavish hotel was booked by Atlam, a wealthy Magus from the Middle East.
As the newly appointed head of the family, Atlam was lucky, but also unlucky.
After defeating many brothers and sisters, he inherited the position of family head from his father, who knew nothing about Magecraft. Atlam was full of vigor and marched into the Mage’s Association. However, as a nouveau riche, he was not welcomed by the historical and prestigious Mage’s Association, and thus received a cold reception.
To change this situation, he decided to participate in the Holy Grail War to gain fame. (The Mage’s Association knew about the Holy Grail War but didn’t know the true secrets of the Holy Grail War… they didn’t take it seriously because they wanted to reach the Root.)
He spent a lot of money to buy one of the two participation rights from the Mage’s Association and decided to win.
And today, he finally completed the summoning ritual and summoned his ideal Servant…… Caster!
