A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Owning a villa in this era is the most important evidence, even if it has been rebuilt. The fact that one has the assets to rebuild it speaks volumes.

In addition, the Tohsaka family is a lineage of magicians who have inherited magic.

If we're talking about antiquity, it certainly has an ancient history.

"Forget it, it's not something to be proud of anyway..."

It should be said that this is not something that can be promoted casually.

After all, if ordinary people were to witness something happening in the magic world, the consequences could be quite serious.

A magician is someone who chants incantations to perform incredible feats.

Even so, it's impossible to fly in the sky on a broomstick, let alone have stars appear by waving a magic wand.

Although Rin could do something similar, like an illusion, she never did it because it was meaningless.

Fundamentally, magicians are heretics hidden in the world.

Being forbidden from doing anything conspicuous, and having the time to do such things, I'd rather stay home and study magic.

Furthermore, magicians don't use magic, but rather spells. Just as one can use spells to summon flames, human technology can easily do the same, and even reach greater heights.

Magic tricks that seemed like miracles in ancient times have become less magical in modern times.

However, there are still real people in this world who can wield magic, and they can do things that no one can imitate, that cannot be explained by modern science, and that seem like miracles.

Magic is something that cannot be achieved no matter how much time or technology is invested.

No matter how incredible it may seem, magic is something that anyone can achieve given enough time and skill.

Even so, magicians are not recognized in modern times.

Magicians who believe in, manipulate, and learn these immeasurable things are completely incompatible with modern society.

No matter what, magic is meaningless.

It's far more fulfilling to go to a normal school and become a normal adult than to learn magic tricks.

Human technology is amazing. Even Rin, the proud daughter of the Tohsaka family, a family that prides itself on magic, has to use modern technology to provide heating.

Magicians need their own magic to perform magic tricks, but modern technology does not require the operator to expend 'magic'.

For centuries, magic has been catching up with the civilized world.

The number of things that humans cannot do is decreasing one by one. Magic, which was once considered miraculous, is now seen as nothing more than a slightly more interesting trick.

However, magic also has its advantages.

Just as some places can only be reached by science, some places can only be reached by 'mystery'.

If science runs towards the future, then magicians run towards the past.

"However, I'll save these philosophical things for when I'm older to think about slowly."

Rin, dressed in her school uniform, opened the gate to the mansion, instantly brightening the interior with orange beams of light streaming in from outside.

Rin, who was just about to leave, suddenly remembered something important and quickly returned to her room.

"The pendant, you have to wear that..."

Although it doesn't feel right to bring that kind of thing to school, it would be a shame to leave it untouched.

"After all, it's a gemstone with a history of over a hundred years. Among the gemstones in my home, it's far ahead of the others."

No, you could say they're from different dimensions.

This is a gem that Rin obtained after deciphering her father's last words; it contains ten years' worth of magical power.

Legend has it that this gem is a treasure passed down from ancient times by the Tohsaka family.

The Tohsaka family magicians, skilled in transformation and the flow of force, will transfer their magical power to jewels when they have time.

Simply put, you are the gun, and the gem is the bullet.

The only other thing I inherited from my father was the Tohsaka family crest engraved on my left arm.

Simply put, a magic crest is proof of one's inheritance, embodying the magic passed down through the Tohsaka family; it's like a tattoo.

"Although the Holy Grail War has not yet begun, it is always wise to be cautious."

Rin wondered if that person would participate in this Holy Grail War.

"Heh... How could that be? It was already almost..."

How could someone who hasn't appeared for ten years suddenly reappear...?

I don't know when it started, but every morning, Rin's eyes would be filled with tears.

"I can't let my mind wander anymore," Rin took a deep breath, trying to calm her gloomy mood.

Then, he turned back to look at the villa where he had lived for ten years and whispered a short, magical incantation.

“schliebung. (lock) verfahren,drei (password 3)”

As a magician, one cannot let one's guard down when leaving one's base.

Even if there are no intruders like thieves, lost children, or stray cats in the past, it's the same.

No, in fact, not even the neighbors came to say hello.

"Hmph, it doesn't matter. It just means that even stray cats can't get in."

With a soft hum, Rin turned around and walked towards the school. A gentle breeze blew, lifting the hem of her skirt. She gently reached out and pressed her skirt down, maintaining her elegant posture throughout.

Fuyuki City is a strange city. On one side of the intersection, there are many martial arts dojos in the residential area, while on the other side, there are many Western-style houses like Rin's house.

Although it seems that many families immigrated from abroad a long time ago, conversely, we have hardly seen any foreigners.

Although there are foreign cemeteries in Xindu, which is just across the river, they only contain the graves of the generation that immigrated there.

"What's wrong? It's quieter than I expected today..."

Rin looked around curiously. It was very quiet outside, and she could not feel the noise of the morning.

"Oh well, there are days like this every now and then."

Rin relaxed slightly, not sensing that anyone had used magic.

Rin thought that everyone had just overslept this morning, since it was a rather cold day and everyone wanted to stay snuggled up in bed.

"Hmm... but it's still a bit strange..."

In any case, it would be too strange not to see such a student.

By 7:30, uniforms should be a common sight everywhere.

But I was the only one at the school gate; the club's morning exercise had just begun.

"Oh, Tohsaka? You're here especially early today."

The one who suddenly called out to Rin was a female student with regular features, who could definitely be considered a beauty.

"It's Mizuki, good morning."

Rin looked at the beautiful girl with shoulder-length brown hair.

Ayako Mizuki is about the same age as Rin, around sixteen or seventeen. She is beautiful and has a face that can attract attention even without excessive makeup. Her shoulder-length, refreshing short hair makes her look even more dashing. Her eyes and hair are both brown.

Like Rin, she is a second-year student at the private Homurahara Academy high school, the captain and head of the archery club. She has a straightforward and outspoken personality and is popular with both boys and girls. She is one of Rin's few female friends. When she speaks her true feelings, she adopts a boyish tone. Her famous saying is "A beautiful woman can't do without martial arts," and her best martial art is the naginata.

"Good morning, Tohsaka. It's cold today too," the girl said frankly.

As she spoke, her short brown hair swayed and fluttered in the slightly cool breeze.

"Um... well, Mizuki, I have a non-issue to ask you, what time is it now?"

"Huh? Isn't it seven o'clock? Tohsaka, are you still half asleep?"

Mizuki curiously stretched out her fair hand and waved it in front of Rin's eyes.

"The clocks in my house seem to be an hour fast, and all of them are fast, not just the alarm clock, even the wall clock is fast."

His chest heaved, and he sighed.

What exactly caused this?

Rin couldn't help but ponder.

Could it be because of the pendant left by my father?

"Tousaka?"

Rin snapped out of her daze at Ayako's call.

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing serious. By the way, are you doing your morning exercise today, Mizuki?"

"Well, the archery club has a lot of problems, and unfortunately, it's short one person. In order to get new students in April, we at least need to make it look better."

"I see. I've been worried, but nothing's changed." Rin hadn't fully recovered from that state and replied somewhat blankly.

"Anyway, it's someone else's business, so let's just say it like that. Why don't you come and take a look? The boys would be happy if Tohsaka came to visit," Ayako Mitsuri said with a sigh. "Sigh, if only we could recruit a member who's good at archery..."

"What are you thinking? How could you suddenly find such a savior?" Rin said with a bit of a laugh.

"Hmph! You're just making sarcastic remarks. Why don't you try it yourself?" Ayako Mitsuri urged.

"I can't shoot arrows," Rin refused matter-of-factly.

"I don't want to go. I always feel like Rin never pays attention to those boys. Is it because she already has someone she likes?"

because

As the earliest arrival of the day, with no other students around, Ayako was able to be a bit bolder with her questions.

Little did anyone know that this question would lead Ayako to witness an unexpected scene.

"I...I didn't..."

The unexpected, somewhat hesitant answer left Ayako Mitsuri slightly taken aback.

Ayako Mitsuki immediately revealed a gossipy expression.

"Hiss... Could it be...!?"

"Enough!" Rin immediately stopped her. "It's completely untrue, stop overthinking it, Misaki!"
