Sweeping both worlds: Starting from idealistic martial arts

Chapter 419 The Holy Grail War!

Deep underground in Mika City, the atmosphere in the foundation's branch meeting room was so heavy it was almost suffocating.

"idiot!"

In response to the old man's words, the minister placed his hands together on the table, his knuckles turning white from the force, and his voice was as cold as ice:
"An Emperor-level disaster! This is an 'Emperor'-level disaster, capable of triggering the seventh mass extinction! We cannot take it too seriously!"

His sharp gaze swept over every member present, carrying a chilling sense of oppression:

"Don't even think about relying on other branches! Be on high alert! One mistake and our entire branch could be wiped out in an instant! You're all responsible for your own lives!"

His voice suddenly rose, "Don't forget the serious riots that broke out in Mexico during the last ceremony due to a mistake?!"

The meeting room was deathly silent; the air seemed to freeze. The mere mention of that disastrous name sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Ten years ago, the Mexican branch's negligence directly led to a cataclysmic destruction, akin to the descent of the Forsaken Emperor.

That catastrophe not only wiped out the entire Mexican branch, but also swallowed up billions of people!

It took that huge country four or five years to barely regain its population of 200 million, and it almost got removed from the list.

The aftershocks of the global catastrophe it caused still haunt some data tables to this day.

The aftermath of this event has had catastrophic consequences on a global scale that are difficult to quantify.

"If you want to survive today, be fully prepared to bring both teams together completely and then pair them up!"

He paused, his tone carrying a cruel clarity, "For the survival of the world, and even more so for our own survival! We will fight with all our might!"

The minister, with an unprecedentedly serious expression, swept his gaze across the entire room. All this meticulousness was for the sake of his own life!
"Everything for all humanity! Mission accomplished!"

All members pounded their chests with their fists and swore an oath in unison, their voices echoing in the enclosed space, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.

"Very good, I hope you will maintain this awareness when you carry it out."

The minister's expression softened slightly, but his eyes remained serious: "Now, let's discuss the location of the ceremony. I propose—Mihana City!"

"Isn't it Fuyuki City?" one member asked in surprise.

"Idiot, have you forgotten that witch's night ten years ago?"

"Although we won, did we destroy the entire city of Fuyuki? If we hadn't covered it up with a 'major natural gas leak,' we would have been exposed long ago! Is that place even usable anymore?"

The man cursed angrily, "These guys are indeed a bunch of idiots who don't value their own lives."

"In that case, let's do as the minister says and choose the neighboring Mika City as our home venue."

One member suggested in a low voice, "Since there are several members of the Holy Grail War in Beika City, we can just use what we have here!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the scattered Holy Grail War nameplates in front of him.

The left column contains a scattered list of female candidates: [Gentle Catgirl: Yakurenai], [Sharp-tongued Little Devil: Miyano Shiho], [Forbidden Nun: XXX], [Youthful Girl: XXX], [Tsundere Twintails: XXX]...

On the right, scattered in a pile, are men's name tags: [Kind-hearted Male Protagonist: XXX], [Elementary School Student: Shinichi Kudo], [Otaku: Haruyu Arita], [Black Guy: XXX], [Victim: XXX], [Blonde Hair: Fang Can...]

Everyone followed his gaze to the scattered character cards.

Indeed, a considerable number of characters reside in Beika City.

If we could use local materials, we wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to travel to other cities.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

……

Soon after the proposal to host the event in Mika City, the personnel on site were gradually confirmed.

"Now that the venue has been decided, let's discuss the pairing script. We need to create an environment that will force, induce, or allow them to spontaneously gather, rub against each other, and then... bond them together!"

"How about a zombie apocalypse? Create massive chaos and force them to band together in despair. The experiment in Bedmaster City 30 years ago proved this trick works!" one member suggested excitedly.

"The risk is too high! Especially that 'Fang Can'!"

Someone immediately retorted, pointing to Fang Can's name tag: "He just killed Tao Pai Pai, the number one assassin on the assassin list, yesterday!"

One of the members nodded and said, "With his combat skills, no matter how many zombies there are, they can't directly affect him. If he runs out of Beika City, the whole ceremony will be a failure."

The minister's lips curled into a cold, authoritative smile: "Don't worry, I've already obtained special approval from headquarters for the [Reality Anchor]!"
"Reality anchor!" A chorus of exclamations erupted in the conference room.

“Excellent!” the minister said with a smile. “As long as it’s within the range of the anchor, the connection between heaven and earth will be severed.”

"At that time, we will wrap the entire Mika City with a reality anchor. Unless you are an ancient god or something similar, no matter how destructive you are, you will be forcibly 'formatted' into an ordinary person!"

"Moreover, just in case, our conference room is also under the influence of the reality anchor, so there is no way to eavesdrop."

"So feel free to speak your mind regarding the location. Don't worry about the characters' original 'combat strength' settings."

"Then I recommend Far Cry. Let these people go on vacation to a small island, then encounter an otherworldly ruin that crashes into them, and they are surrounded by countless bloodthirsty goblins. Finally, they develop feelings for each other during the crisis because of the suspension bridge effect."

"How about we imitate the [GANTZ] incident that happened 7 years ago? We can use magnetic levitation technology to create a small black ball and gather these people together to kill aliens, and then quickly develop feelings for each other during the crisis."

"Or perhaps a desolate crisis could occur, completely wiping out Beika City, leaving them as the last survivors, and then they could fall in love in the lonely city? And then lose their virginity?"

Faced with the problem of map creation, many members in the conference room began to have a heated discussion.

The entire script for the upcoming Holy Grail War was discussed seriously and meticulously, all in order to ensure that the two teams of men and women in the Holy Grail War could be paired up quickly.

"Alright, write down your ideas. Let's work together to develop a detailed outline for the upcoming Holy Grail War, and then vote on it tonight," the minister said, looking at everyone present.

"Next, we need to quickly get to know the people on the list, otherwise there won't be enough time to build relationships in such a short period of time," the minister said earnestly.

"Don't worry, I've already made the arrangements. At least we'll make sure these people become familiar with us."

……

"So why do we go to Yuqiu?"

On the school bus at Teitan Elementary School, a child wearing non-prescription glasses stared boredly at the scenery rushing past the window, his face expressionless. "Didn't the teacher say we were going to Haneoka to see the wonderful lives of those high school students and inspire us?"

Mitsuhiko, who was standing nearby, replied, "You weren't listening in class at all!"

"Isn't that even stranger? If you want to experience high school life, why not go to the affiliated Teitan High School instead of coming all the way to Haneoka? It's completely unrelated," Conan questioned.

"Why worry about so much? Anyway, we don't have to go to class today," Yuan Tai said cheerfully.

"And I heard that the older brothers and sisters in Haneoka are forming a band." Ayumi's eyes shone with longing: "I want to play music when I grow up."

“Then I’ll have some fun too. Do you think I have any rock talent?” Yuan Tai said, squeezing his right biceps.

"Heh!" Conan smirked, watching the kid fooling around in front of him, and couldn't help but think to himself, 'Your physique is more suited to sumo wrestling...'

As the Teitan Elementary School bus slowly drove into Haneoka High School.

In the underground conference room, everyone sat at the conference table, watching everything on the monitor.

"I remember this elementary school student possessed the qualities of both Death and a sage."

One researcher seriously discussed, "Not long ago, he was knocked unconscious by some underground organization and then accidentally took an age-reducing drug, turning from a high school student into a primary school student. It's like a plot from a comic book."

"What's so strange about that? Those chosen by the Dead Sea Scrolls are all ordinary people; they all occupy a certain position of destiny."

“Just like Qin Shi Huang, who was instigated by Sun Xiaochuan to burn books and bury scholars alive thousands of years ago, each of them is an anomaly of their time, and each of them is different.”

“A character like this would be a chosen one in any other normal world.”

One of the meeting attendees couldn't help but sigh, "It's just that our world is too absurd. The simultaneous appearance of these chosen ones and enemies of destiny has caused the whole world to descend into complete chaos."

The minister said, "Stop complaining. Which class will you arrange for these elementary school students to visit next?"

"In Toyokawa Shoko's class, he was the owner of the yellow-haired guy."

"Once the Grim Reaper enters Haneoka Academy, the conflicts that have accumulated within the academy will erupt under the influence of his Grim Reaper status, leading to murders."

"If Toyokawa Shoko gets involved in the murder case, Huang Mao will definitely rush back to protect his master. At that time, he will be directly caught in the vortex of fate and unable to escape!"

"In fact, even without our intervention, these people should have met under the guidance of fate."

"Everything is for the sake of safety. I remember that Shiho Miyano, who has the fate of being a sharp-tongued little devil, is an adult, right? She's too behind schedule. Let's give her the age-reducing drug as soon as possible and then release her from the organization."

"No problem, we've already planted an undercover agent in that underground organization. Now we'll find an opportunity to make our move."

"But I have a question. Isn't Fang Can white-haired? And he just entered this world, so why did the Dead Sea Scrolls send this guy to be blond?"

"You don't know, according to the data analysis, that guy's luck with women is inexplicably strong. If an ordinary person's luck with women is only 5, his is at least 1. It's terrifying."

……

The rooftop terrace of Haneoka High School's teaching building is bathed in sunlight.

Fang Can leaned against the railing, squinting at the "General" in the sky that radiated light and heat.

On my second day in this world, I was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Especially when he looked at the sun in the sky, its rays spreading across the entire super-Earth, he became curious about how such life could exist.

Everything in this world is so strange.

For example, in this world, every winter there is a very rare chance that the Winter (Snow Lotus) General will appear, bringing a blizzard to freeze a certain city.

For example, the World Hero Association classifies disasters into four levels: Wolf, Tiger, Demon, Dragon, and Emperor.

'What a terrible world, it's lucky it hasn't been destroyed,' Fang Can thought to himself.

In the news last night, a city in a neighboring country suddenly issued a destruction notice.

Another city on this super-Earth has been destroyed by a Dragon-level disaster, and nearby heroes are rushing to the scene.

As for why he's currently at Yuqiu...

Fang Can leaned against the railing on the rooftop, watching the elementary school bus slowly drive into the school.

'Why is the Grim Reaper elementary school student here with Haneoka?'

Fang Can thought to himself, "It's a bit impolite if someone doesn't die during any event in Detective Conan."

However... it seems quite reasonable. Compared to the city next door that was destroyed in the middle of the night yesterday, the fact that only one or two people died here is already considered restrained.

"Fang Can, what are you doing here?" During the break between classes, Toyokawa Shoko curiously approached from behind.

At this moment, she was wearing the Yuqiu school uniform, but she no longer had the aloof demeanor she had when she was poor. She was beginning to regain her Bai Xiang temperament, which was even more pronounced in front of Fang Can.

Today, when I learned that a class from the neighboring Teitan Elementary School would be coming to participate in a collaboration, I curiously came over. What's so interesting about a bunch of elementary school students?
"I'm waiting for someone to die," Fang Can said, propping his head up with his hand.

Xiangzi asked in surprise, "Waiting for someone to die?"

"Well, although I don't know who died, people will probably die next," Fang Can said, then changed the subject: "How did it go when I asked you to apologize to those friends?"

"This……"

When asked the question suddenly, Toyokawa Shoko's attention was immediately drawn, and a look of guilt appeared on her face.

I was a bit too harsh with my words back then, but I didn't want these people to get involved in the Toyokawa family's darkness.

After all, those friends were just ordinary people, and even Wakaba Mutsu was just the daughter of an actor.

Having been ousted from the Toyokawa family after losing power, she had no power to protect her companions, nor did she want them to see her struggling with poverty and the burden of making a living, so she ruthlessly cut ties with them.

Now that he's back, the memory of his previous cringeworthy quotes brings back the adorable, innocent Xiao Xiang to life.

"You've become too soft and yielding again, haven't you?" Fang Can saw through the other's true nature and couldn't help but laugh.

"I...I'll go apologize today!" Xiangzi said, his face flushed red.

"It's a deal, if you go back on your word, I'll punish you by making you pull a rickshaw for me, like Xiangzi the Camel!" Fang Can joked as he made the agreement.

Before Toyokawa Shoko could ask what Camel Shoko was, a scream echoed throughout Haneoka!
