FATE: Target of Grand Master

Collecting Fairy Knights (Xia Yan): Alright, everyone has updated the latest situation, I'm going offline to rest now. Bye-bye.

Xia Yan looked at the group members who were gradually becoming more and more "lively," typed a line of text with a slight upturn of his lips, and then put his phone aside.

The safe house underwent another round of renovations. With the addition of three new bedrooms, the safe house has become a three-story villa structure with one basement level. Considering the increase in the number of residents, two more bathrooms were added to ensure that there is one on each floor. In addition, the original bathroom on the first floor was expanded into a hot spring bath that can accommodate ten people at the collective request of the Servants.

After completing their home renovations, the Servants all went off to do things they enjoyed.

"Morgan, I'd like to talk to you about my mana shortage problem."

"Okay, but I don't want to talk here. Go take a shower first, and then come to my room."

Morgan whispered something in Xia Yan's ear before taking his pajamas and walking into the shower room.

After their experience on the Absolute Beast Front, Xia Yan's relationship with Morgan warmed up even more. He immediately washed himself clean and then, taking advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention to him, gently knocked on Morgan's door.

The door opened instantly, and a slender, fair hand pulled him into the room.

The room was dark, with no lights on, but the soft touch against his chest and the floral scent of shampoo filling his nostrils made Xia Yan clearly feel that Morgan was pressing him against the wall.

"Xia Yan, what do you want to ask?"

Feeling Morgan's scent on his face, Xia Yan's breathing became heavier.

Xia Yan tried very hard to concentrate and said, "Um... Morgan, how about we turn on the lights and talk about the important stuff first, then..."

"No, I like it this way. What, you were able to control yourself when you saw me naked before, but now you can't hold back?"

Morgan's tone was full of seduction, making Xia Yan feel hot all over. He didn't even realize that Morgan had already revealed that he had pretended to be unconscious in the Sixth Singularity.

Swallowing hard, Xia Yan tried to concentrate.

"Okay. I want to ask... about how I should increase my magic power next."

While Xia Yan was asking questions, Morgan deliberately ran her hands up and down his body, teasing him relentlessly.

"That depends on whether you want to increase the amount of magic reserves in the small source or the conversion efficiency of magic from the large source to the small source."

In the Type-Moon universe, everyone possesses more or less magical power. The magical power within oneself is usually referred to as the minor source, while the magical power in the external environment, such as the air, is considered the major source.

Morgan's question was essentially asking Xia Yan whether he wanted to increase the total amount of magic power he could store within his body or improve the efficiency of absorbing and converting magic power from the outside.

"Can't we improve together?"

Only children make choices; Xia Yan, of course, wants to have both.

"It's possible, but I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

"What do you mean?"

"If you want to improve your small reservoir, the most direct way is still to buy magic loops and stack them to a number that no human body has ever reached before. This is the most direct method and the one I recommend prioritizing. Only by making your own reservoir bigger can you accumulate more when external water is poured in."

"Okay, I understand. So how do we improve the efficiency of converting large sources into small sources?"

Xia Yan currently has no clear ideas, so even if he can't immediately improve the conversion efficiency, he still wants to learn more about it.

"I'm a little thirsty..."

Morgan gave an irrelevant answer.

Xia Yan naturally responded immediately to Morgan's request.

However, just as he was about to go out to get water, Morgan grabbed him tightly.

"Idiot, I don't want to drink the water from outside."

Morgan cupped Xia Yan's cheeks in her hands, stood on tiptoe slightly, and their lips met.

Feeling the greedy sucking sensation on her tongue, Xia Yan no longer restrained herself, wrapping her arms around Morgan's waist and giving her a passionate response.

The two kissed passionately for a full two minutes before reluctantly parting ways.

"Not bad, at least you're not like a block of wood this time. As a reward, I'll tell you how to improve the efficiency of converting large resources into small resources."

Stroking his lips, Morgan was quite satisfied with the warmth of Xia Yan's touch.

"From the perspective of modern magicians, to utilize the power of the Great Source, one must make long-term preparations and use extremely complex techniques, but in my opinion, the utilization rate is not very good."

However, now that you have me, these are no longer problems. The only two issues are whether the magic in the surrounding environment is worthwhile for conversion using spells, and whether your body can withstand the burden of simultaneously using and absorbing magic.

Not hearing Xia Yan's reply, Morgan guessed that he might not have understood yet, so he further explained: "Comparing the two trial worlds we visited, Fuyuki City and Absolute Demonic Front, the concentration of magic power in the air in Fuyuki City is incomparable to that of the latter. Activating the spell to absorb magic power from the air is far less cost-effective than finding a spiritual vein to replenish magic power. However, this problem can be basically ignored in Absolute Demonic Front."

Also, do you remember how your body struggled to adapt to True Aether when you first arrived at the Absolute Demonic Front? That's a problem with your physical strength. Forcibly absorbing large amounts of magic power into your body is a burden on both your body and your magical circuits. If you can't handle it, it will backfire.

"I understand. To give you an analogy, my body is like a battery. A battery can be charged and discharged, but if it's being charged and discharged at the same time, it puts a lot of strain on the battery's quality. If not handled properly, the battery's lifespan will be shortened, or it may even become unusable."

"A good metaphor."

Seeing that Xia Yan understood, Morgan concluded, "In short, you have to be strong yourself to succeed. Xia Yan, I still suggest that you prioritize improving your magic circuits. Of course, I will also start working on creating some miniature spells that your body can withstand, so that at least in the next trial, when Tiamat uses her Noble Phantasm, you won't have to use Command Seals."

"Yes, thank you, Morgan."

"Why are you being so polite with me?"

Morgan wrapped his arms around Xia Yan's neck, put his mouth close to Xia Yan's ear, and said, "However, before that, I need to test your magic reserves."

"How do we test it?"

Hearing Xia Yan's serious reply, Morgan pulled Xia Yan back several steps until his legs touched the edge of the bed and he fell down, pulling Xia Yan onto himself.

"Of course, we'll test it here. Let me see how much small-source magic you can inject into my body."
