Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

“All modern magicians who have received formal training will quickly learn after entering the profession that magicians are not sorcerers in fantasy stories. They cannot use magic to do whatever they want like sorcerers, nor can they single-mindedly pursue the path of magic or knowledge. Such things are impossible—after all, the mystery of modern magic is limited and extremely fragile.”

"The Age of Mystic Revival was the result of the efforts of so many generations and the lifelong efforts of so many geniuses, but one generation was careless, and mysticism immediately declined, many mysticisms were lost, and even the overall magic weakened."

"Modern magicians have always lived in such a repressive environment, so it's only natural that they would pursue the root, the eternal peace of mind, and the infinite mystery."

“It would be strange if someone didn’t even pursue the root cause.”

"After all, you've experienced the sweetness of mystery, and you've completely broken away from your past self and stepped into this world—so how can you accept becoming an ordinary person again?"

"And it would be fine if everyone turned back, but as we can see from the previous mysterious decline era, not everyone will turn back immediately, only some will. So wouldn't that make things even more terrifying?"

Aozaki Touko said this, and Bazett nodded in agreement.

"That's why I say magicians are a bunch of lunatics, because what drives them isn't even desire, but fear."

Although Bazett herself is a magician, she still made this remark.

Both she and Aozaki Touko felt this deeply.

On the contrary, young people like Rin Tohsaka and Illya felt this less deeply.

After all, Rin Tohsaka's talent is too good, so her magic is far from reaching its limit. So, although it seems like there is a monster chasing her, her path is long and she runs fast enough that she can't even see the monster chasing her anymore.

But when she reaches the end of the road, when there's nowhere left to go, and then she starts hearing the monster's footsteps again... then the pressure, fear, anxiety, and unease will all come rushing in at once.

Modern magic is such a young thing.

The only advantage of modern magic compared to the magic of the divine era is that it can reach the realm of 'law', but this is difficult to achieve and requires a search for the root.

So how could magicians who live in fear of being attacked by monsters not go crazy and become fanatical!

As for Ilya... her future was shrouded in darkness before, with other pressures far exceeding the pressure of magic. After today, her future is no longer dark, but bright again. So, although she is not unaware of what Aozaki Touko and Bazett said, she doesn't really feel it.

Medea nodded slightly after pondering what Aozaki Touko and Bazett had said.

“I see… Perhaps I did have some misunderstandings about modern magic after meeting Roland. If that’s the case, then I understand.”

Hearing her say that, Rin Tohsaka and Illya were both puzzled, while Touko Aozaki gave a wry smile.

"Yes, his talent is truly unimaginably strong."

Aozaki Touko is still amazed that Roland has managed to bring his magic to this level in just a few days.

When Medea heard what Aozaki Touko said, she knew that Roland never shied away from telling his companions about his affairs, so Medea sighed along with her.

"Yes, the first magician with 1200 naturally formed high-quality magic circuits, that talent is indeed too strong."

Medea simply sighed.

But after she finished her exclamation, she found that the other four people immediately fell silent and stared at her with wide eyes.

Even Aozaki Touko, who had only heard Hyakumao mention Roland's talent once, was now dumbfounded.

what?

The first magician with 1200 high-quality magic circuits...?

......

!

45. Special uses of shadow fusion

Actually, for magicians like Aozaki Touko and Bazett, who have seen so many magicians and experienced so much magic, the likes of geniuses rarely surprise them.

Rin Tohsaka and Illya are newcomers, and they don't know Roland well enough yet.

However, when Aozaki Touko and Bazett heard Hyakumao talk about Roland's talent before, they actually knew that Roland was probably a very talented first-generation magician.

It's important to know that such early magicians have always been a rare resource in certain respects.

Magicians have priority in choosing a spouse.

This is also why Bazette developed a slight liking for Roland.

After all, Bazette is getting on in years, and if she really wants to settle down, Roland would be the perfect choice for her.

But Aozaki Touko is different.

Although she is only older than Bazett, once she can create dolls that look exactly like herself, she is practically immortal.

Because even when you get old, you can get a new, younger body; even if you die, you can be resurrected.

As a Grand Doll User, Aozaki Touko has long since reached a level that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Therefore, she wouldn't consider issues like age or marriage.

In terms of rarity, she has met modern witches like Ayumi, has a magician sister, and previously had a fantasy familiar like the Golden Wolf. Now she is even sitting and having an equal conversation with a god-era magician like Medea. So what is so surprising about a first-generation magician with great talent?

That's why she had only marveled at Roland's talent before.

but...

She never expected that Roland's talent was not only in his understanding of magic, but also in his mastery of magic circuits!

Let's just put it that way.

Generally speaking, what level is a first-generation magician with great talent? If you have 20 magic circuits, you are already at the upper-middle level.

If you have 25 to 30 magic circuits, you'll be the kind of person that big families will fight over to arrange a marriage with.

If you had 70 to 100 magic circuits in the first generation, even a large family wouldn't dare to have someone like you all to themselves. They would probably have an entire Clock Tower faction share you, help you build a harem, and even try to ensure your lifespan and mental health. They would also give you money so you would have no worries about food and clothing, and even arrange for people to protect your safety.

Because you are already considered an important strategic resource.

This is something like Roland...

Aozaki Touko could already imagine that if the people from the Mage's Association found out about Roland's talent, they would probably hold a monarchical meeting and treat Roland as the 'future of the Mage's Association'.

It's definitely impossible to eat from one family or one faction.

The idea of ​​destroying what one cannot have is absolutely impossible—after all, while magicians may be ruthless enough to kill their own family members, even madmen would not willingly destroy the stairway to the source, even if it were just a possibility.

So...

All twelve monarchs enjoyed it together!

This incident might even lead to the unification of the Clock Tower. This is no longer just a strategic resource; it directly turns Roland into the Mage's Achilles' heel of the Mage Association!

Even if the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles and the Holy Church joined forces, the Mage's Association would probably dare to organize an allied army to fight them!

After all, if you block the magician's path to the Root, then it's a fight to the death!

and...

To put it bluntly, after learning about Roland's magic circuit, even Aozaki Touko had to admit that she was somewhat tempted.

Even though she is now basically independent, the Aozaki family's legacy still needs to continue.

Roland's talent would be enviable to anyone, and in other respects, he seems quite perfect...

In that case.

—Why don't we let my sister have a child with Roland?

Since the magic crest of the Aozaki family is on Aoko, and she is also the fifth magician, then it should be Aoko's responsibility to carry on the legacy!

If she's too shy, she can help matchmake herself.

However, the prerequisite is that we must first settle the score between our own Garan Hall and their ancient bird.

Otherwise, if Roland went to help Aoko and Yuzu, then their side would definitely lose.

She absolutely did not want to lose!

Aozaki Touko was thinking about this, and Tohsaka Rin was thinking about something similar.

Rin Tohsaka immediately thought of this.

After all, strictly speaking, she is now the only one left in the Tohsaka family. Roland even told her the cause of Kirei Kotomine's death and the truth about her father Tokiomi Tohsaka's death when they were discussing the battle plan. So she is now the head of the Tohsaka family, and she has to consider some things for the future of the Tohsaka family!

As for Ilya, she mainly felt that the number of magic circuits was a bit outrageous.

After all, having multiple magic circuits is a patent of Einzbern's homunculus humans, while normal humans naturally have so many magic circuits... Is it that magic circuits have grown on a person's body, or that a person has grown on magic circuits...?

The four of them each had their own ideas.

But in Medea's eyes, it seemed like the four guys' eyes were practically glowing with greed after hearing about Roland's situation!

So Medea quickly stopped herself from saying anything more, then made up an excuse and hurriedly left. Judging from the direction she was going, Bazette judged that she had gone to find Roland.

Seeing this, the four of them exchanged glances.

Then the four modern magicians all burst out laughing.

"Alright, I should go back now. After all, Roland assigned me a task at the end of the meeting, which I have to complete before the battle begins. I need to get back to work now."

Hearing Orange say that, Bazett looked at her with some puzzlement.

"Mission? What mission?"

"It's nothing, Roland just asked me to make him a few eyeballs..."

At this point, Aozaki Touko also had some doubts.

She really couldn't understand Roland's ideas.
