Chapter 163 School Barrier
Chapter 163 School Barrier
“You…this…it…”
Rin Tohsaka was speechless for a moment. She felt a little embarrassed because this was not in line with her usual calm and composed image.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, but the shock she felt was still hard to hide.
"It's just a little gadget, do you want to see its power?"
Lin Yu said casually, pointing to the Supreme Throne, and then took out a remote control from another space.
He gently pressed a white button on the remote control, and the surface of the High Throne opened, revealing a huge cannon muzzle.
Immediately afterwards, a loud bang was heard, and a large crater was blasted into the ground not far away, sending dust flying.
"This is just a small demonstration of its power; there's something even more powerful out there. Would you like to see it?"
Lin Yu showed Rin Tohsaka the remote control covered with buttons in his hand.
"No...no need."
Rin Tohsaka looked at the remote control in Lin Yu's hand and refused. If he continued to demonstrate it, the entire Fuyuki City wouldn't be enough to show it all. The important thing was that she didn't sense any magical fluctuations, proving that this thing was a product of science.
"Oh~"
Lin Yu put away the Supreme Throne with satisfaction. If King were here, he could just give him the remote control and the Holy Grail War would be a one-man army beating him up.
Anyway, Gilgamesh definitely won't start with Ea. As long as he doesn't start with Ea, he can suppress Gilgamesh's Vault of Kings with his one-punch version of the High Throne, because you can't imagine how much firepower Dr. Kusno has equipped the High Throne with.
This one-punch version of the Supreme Throne is just a mobile cannon fodder fortress.
“I don’t think you’re like Archer.”
Rin Tohsaka watched as Lin Yu vanished from his spot with the enormous Supreme Throne and couldn't help but retort.
Does knowing how to launch ranged attacks automatically make you an Archer?
"Why do you care about class? As long as you can win the Holy Grail War, class is just a limitation that restricts a Servant from performing at their full potential."
Lin Yu smiled. If he were to summon the true forms of these heroic spirits, Fuyuki City alone would probably not be enough as a battlefield.
"We should go, Rin. Skipping class isn't good for a student."
Lin Yu simply carried Rin Tohsaka in a princess carry. Her body felt light and airy, which suggests that she usually cares a lot about her figure.
"Eh...?"
Rin Tohsaka just watched as she was picked up. Wasn't there some strange flying magic? Why was she being carried like this?
Soon Lin Yu brought Rin Tohsaka home, and after washing up, Rin Tohsaka went straight to sleep.
With Rin Tohsaka asleep, Lin Yu was free to move around. The Holy Grail War hadn't started yet, so Rin was still safe at home. The only person who knew her Master's identity was Kirei Kotomine, that pervert.
Happiness was suffering for him, and suffering was happiness for him.
Lin Yu quickly arrived at the home of the succubus Shirou Emiya, wondering if the protagonist, who was to become a hero of justice, had been influenced by him.
Archer and Shirou Emiya were a couple who found redemption together, but now that Archer is gone, Shirou Emiya, who was supposed to be a "partner of justice," doesn't know what his fate will be.
However, it seems that Shirou Emiya is doing well so far, and nothing seems out of the ordinary.
.........
Rin Tohsaka walked briskly towards school in the early morning light, her schoolbag swaying gently on her shoulder.
Lin Yu, her Servant, followed her like a shadow in a way that was almost imperceptible to ordinary people.
Before the day's events began, Rin Tohsaka had already registered her relationship with Kirei Kotomine.
Kirei Kotomine, the priest who inherited his father's duties, is now the church's representative in Fuyuki City, responsible for recording all Masters who are seriously participating in the war.
"Schools aren't safe places. Isn't there another magician family in your city? Don't they have anyone involved in this Holy Grail War?"
Lin Yu's voice rang in Rin Tohsaka's ears, his question seemingly thrown out casually.
Rin Tohsaka's answer to this question was uncertain.
The Matou family, another magical force in Fuyuki City, cannot be ignored in their desire for the Holy Grail War.
Especially Zouken Matou, a survivor who has lost his grand ambitions. His personal strength is no longer enough to participate in the battle, but he is, after all, an old fox, extremely cunning.
Lin Yu knew that Zouken Matou had not placed all his bets on the Fourth and Fifth Holy Grail Wars.
The Matou family currently lacks a suitable Master, and Zouken's own power is mainly used to maintain his own life.
Therefore, it is unlikely that he will appear in person, at least not in Rin Tohsaka's storyline.
Zouken Matou does not appear directly in the Rin route or the main storyline; he only has a significant role in the Sakura route.
However, even in Rin's route, Lin Yu couldn't be sure of Zouken's actions. Perhaps he wasn't even in Fuyuki City, since he didn't have high hopes for Matou Shinji.
"Don't worry, the Matou family has fallen into decline. Their magician no longer has the magical power to be a Master, so he can't summon Servants to participate in the Holy Grail War."
Rin Tohsaka said, appearing completely unnerved.
Lin Yu looked at Rin Tohsaka with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot. This was the Holy Grail War; being so careless would be a mistake.
However, just as Rin Tohsaka was about to protest Lin Yu's gaze, she immediately sensed a strong magical aura as she stepped into the school; it was the energy emanating from the barrier that had been opened.
"Someone has set up a barrier, a soul-capturing barrier. Once activated, this barrier will dissolve the people inside, then dissolve their bodies, and then forcibly collect their souls for the servants to use."
Our top-notch magician, Rin Tohsaka, immediately knew the function and name of the barrier.
Lin Yu was completely confused, "How come I didn't sense anything?"
"They actually attacked a student. Was the other person also a student at this school?" Rin Tohsaka wondered.
.........
At night, standing on the school's teaching building, Rin Tohsaka was trying to deal with the barrier.
However, her magical skills were insufficient to unravel the mystery of this barrier, because the runes that constituted it were ones she had never seen before.
Nevertheless, she had already understood the purpose of the barrier, as it revealed its function almost without any concealment.
Although this barrier is very mysterious and its effects are terrifying, Rin Tohsaka still considers it to be third-rate.
The side effects are directly proportional to the power; it not only damages the land's spiritual veins but also prevents continuous use.
Just like putting a pull ring on a nuclear bomb, anyone can use it. The same principle applies to this; any magician can detect this barrier.
"I really didn't expect that your school would have such an outstanding student, Rin," Lin Yu teased.
