Jiang Jing took the manuscript and opened it, only to see the highlight of the first episode: the battle between Unit-01 and the Water Angel, and the scene of it going berserk. "Has it already updated to this point?"
Shiina Mashiro nodded: "Yes, Ayano will be coming to pick this up later. After the final draft is completed, printing will begin tonight and the serialization will start tomorrow."
There were twenty pages in total. Jiang Jing carefully looked at each page and finally nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. It captures the brutality and madness of Unit-01. The colors and lighting are even more exquisite than I imagined. No problem."
Immediately, a look of joy appeared in Shiina Mashiro's eyes.
"You two keep busy, I'm going to make lunch. What would you like to eat for lunch?" With that, Jiang Jing went behind the kitchen counter, tied on an apron, and began preparing lunch.
"Junior, I want tempura and omelet rice." Misaki Kamiigusa happily raised her hand.
"Sorata, I want meat-filled rice, fried chicken cutlet, and grilled fish." With that, Shiina Mashiro also raised her hand, just like Kamiigusa Misaki.
Misaki Kamiigusa looked at Shiina Mashiro across from her strangely: "Huh, Mashiro, why are you all fleshy?"
"You have to eat meat to grow bigger, that's what Sorata said." Shiina Mashiro said seriously, her gaze falling on Kamiigusa Misaki's magnificent breasts, which were several sizes larger than hers.
"Uh...when did I say that?" Jiang Jing, behind the kitchen counter, looked a little confused. He didn't seem to remember saying that.
Shiina Mashiro tilted her head: "Sorata, didn't you say earlier that I've grown a little? So I need to eat more meat."
"...These two are different, aren't they?" Jiang Jing shook his head speechlessly as his gaze swept over Shiina Mashiro's chest, then opened the refrigerator and busied himself with taking out various ingredients.
Jiang Jing, busy at work, had a gentle expression and wore a white apron, looking like a stay-at-home husband. No one could believe that just half an hour ago, this man had transformed into a blazing sun, cold and indifferent like a god of judgment, destroying a planet and countless lives.
But at that moment, Jiang Jing suddenly paused, then continued his work as if nothing had happened. However, his consciousness split in two, and he found himself in a white church.
With silver hair and red eyes, nine-year-old Ilya looked blankly at the empty church around her, then looked at the only figure in the space, the one with his back to her, and asked curiously.
"Who are you?"
Chapter 212 Arcane Mage Matou Sakura, Spellsword Warrior Tohsaka Rin
Wearing a white nightgown, Ilya, pale-faced, looked around with a puzzled expression.
She remembered that she had just undergone body repair surgery and was sleeping while holding the only gift her father had left her, which had been sent back from the Holy Grail War more than half a month ago. How did she end up here in the blink of an eye?
However, this place is strange. After arriving here, she felt that her previously stiff body had changed, and the magic power in her body had become more fluid.
Although she was born from the union of Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel, she was inherently a homunculus vessel for the Holy Grail, and was inherently flawed compared to natural humans, often requiring various cruel and painful magical surgeries to repair her body.
Just as Ilya was bewildered, the figure in front of her, who had been keeping his head down and carving, moved and spoke softly.
"Has the flow of time in this world changed so fast? Only half a day has passed, yet it feels like so much time has gone by. The ratio is 1 to 40, no, it has already reached 1 to 50."
As he spoke, Jiang Jing's illusory image turned around, looked at the stunned silver-haired girl, and chuckled, "Girl, do you want to become a magical girl... no, do you want to cultivate immortality?"
"Who are you? Why are you in the gift my father gave me?"
Despite her young age, Ilya had matured considerably due to her experiences over the past few months. She watched Jiang Jing, who was radiating a faint white light, with wariness.
Jiang Jing said calmly, "Me? A world destroyer who should be erased from the world's memory."
"As for this gift, to be precise, it was something I asked your father to give to you when I met with him that day."
“You gave it to me.” Ilya was taken aback.
Jiang Jing waved his hand: "Alright, let's not talk about these useless things. Just tell me if you want to cultivate immortality or not. I'm in a hurry, I have to rush to the next scene later."
Jiang Jing sensed that the other two marks he left in this world were also triggered, and since he was already here, he decided to go and take a look.
Looking at the unfamiliar figure before her, Ilya asked with a puzzled expression, "What is cultivation?"
Jiang Jing said calmly, "A power system stronger than the magic you've learned. After learning it, you will not only become very powerful, but you can also turn your pseudo-spirit into a true spirit, eliminating the need for the weekly magic repair surgery."
When she heard that it could make her stronger and eliminate the need for surgery, Ilya was tempted.
……
"Young girl, is it you calling me?"
In the identical white, empty church, Rin Tohsaka, who had been diligently training for more than half a month and whose strength had officially reached the first tier of magic swordsman, finally broke through the limitations and came to this familiar yet unfamiliar space once again.
However, just as she closed her eyes to enjoy the warmth of the white light on her body, a figure that was originally just a statue in her memory suddenly spoke, startling her.
"You...you..." The long-legged little girl looked at Jiang Jing, who had stood up, in shock and a little panic.
"Stop with the 'you' and 'me' stuff, young lady. Do you want to become a true Asura Demon Swordsman?" Jiang Jing looked at Rin Tohsaka with a smile.
"Asura Demon Swordsman?" The shocked little girl's attention was immediately diverted, and as she asked the question, her big eyes curiously examined Jiang Jing.
When she broke through the restrictions to enter this space, her previous memories also returned, such as the gift her father mentioned, which was given to her by a very powerful and influential person named Jing.
That night, when she received the small wooden sword, she made a connection with it and obtained a cultivation technique called "Demon Swordsman" from it.
After she told her father and mother about this, they solemnly instructed her to wear the wooden sword and not to tell anyone about it.
Therefore, the girl wasn't very wary of Jiang Jing, because she had long since lost everything and had nothing left for anyone to covet.
"The Asura Demon Swordsman is a sword cultivation technique that forges the physical body by fusing magical elements between heaven and earth. When cultivated to its peak, a single sword strike can unleash a myriad of magical forces, annihilating everything, even gods, with a single strike," Jiang Jing said with a smile.
"So strong." The twin-tailed loli opened her mouth wide, looking extremely cute.
Jiang Jing nodded in satisfaction: "Yes, that's how strong it is. Do you want to learn?"
"Yes, yes, I want it." Rin Tohsaka nodded quickly.
"But if I learn this, should I call you Master? Or Uncle Jing?" Rin Tohsaka blinked her big eyes.
Jiang Jing waved his hand: "Ahem... please don't call me master. I have no intention of taking on any disciples. I'm only teaching you this because of fate. Fate brings us together and fate separates us, so don't worry about it too much."
"Besides, I think I'm only in high school now, so calling me 'uncle' sounds a bit old. Just call me Kanda-senpai."
"Kanda-senpai? Didn't Daddy say your name is Kei?" the little girl asked curiously.
"Jing is just my name. Okay, you focus on receiving the information. I'm busy making lunch and have to rush to the next place later."
……
“Uncle Jing, I have become an intermediate mage. I feel that even without activating the AT field and sword defense, I can barely hold my own against that old man.”
"However, that old man's grandson, Shinji Matou, has been really annoying lately. He's always ordering me around, so I just used ice magic to freeze his feet in the pool and taught him a lesson."
Inside the white church, which had become Matou Sakura's haven, stood Illya, who had just entered the space, and Rin Tohsaka, who had just broken through and reconnected.
With her magical cultivation already comparable to the second tier and her mental power even more refined and powerful, Matou Sakura's childlike face already faintly revealed the aura of a strong person. At this moment, she stood obediently behind Jiang Jing's back, pouring out her heart.
After recounting the day's events as usual, the little girl with slightly longer purple hair looked nervous and cautiously asked, "Uncle Jing, do you think Sakura is a bad child?"
"Actually, Sakura didn't want it to be like this either, but that annoying guy always thinks he's in front of me and tries to bully Sakura."
After saying this, the girl's expression changed again, revealing a pitiful look: "Uncle Jing, why do you never say anything? Do you not like Ying? Actually, Ying is very well-behaved. She will listen to anything Uncle Jing says."
Just as the girl was having a great time playing various roles by herself, the "Uncle Jing" she was talking about suddenly moved slightly, and then her tone revealed her speechlessness.
"You say you're very obedient, right? Then don't call me Uncle Jing for now. I'm clearly not that old in this life, so why do you all have to call me uncle..."
"Ah..." Unlike the wary Illya and the respectful Rin Tohsaka, when Jiang Jing stood up, the still-loli Kirisakura exclaimed in surprise and then pounced on Jiang Jing.
Bang!
This time, she wasn't stopped by an invisible barrier when she was a meter away from Jiang Jing, but Matou Sakura passed right through Jiang Jing and fell to the ground.
Looking at the girl sitting on the ground clutching her sore arm, Jiang Jing shrugged: "I'm just a phantom of an imprint right now, not a spiritual entity. You can't touch me."
"But I didn't expect that you are the strongest among the three of you. Your Mind Manifestation ability AT field strength is already comparable to the third tier, and your arcane magic has also advanced to the second tier." Jiang Jing looked at Matou Sakura with some surprise.
According to the timeline here, she has only been cultivating for less than a month. The AT field can be disregarded because it was used to modify the soul and mind, but it is still amazing that she has cultivated arcane magic to the level of an intermediate mage in a month.
The three of them. Matou Sakura's eyes flickered slightly, then she stood up and bowed respectfully to Jiang Jing.
"Thank you for your help, Uncle Jing. Otherwise, after Uncle Yanye died, Sakura would have been thrown into a hellish insect pit by that old man and tortured."
"I appreciate your thanks. Also, please don't call me Uncle Jing. I'm only in high school now, okay? Just call me Kanda-senpai like Rin Tohsaka does."
As he spoke, Jiang Jing reached out and touched his face, somewhat puzzled. Did he look that old? I was only seventeen years old in this life.
"Kanda-senpai, are you still in high school? Where are you studying? Can I come and visit you?"
When Matou Sakura heard the name Tohsaka Rin from Jiang Jing's mouth, her eyes flickered for a moment, then she pretended not to care and looked at Jiang Jing expectantly, asking him further.
Jiang Jing casually replied, "You won't find me. I'm not in this world." With that, he reached out and flicked the girl's forehead.
"And don't try to use empty words at such a young age. Although your acting skills are better than those two seniors, it's useless to pretend in front of me."
"Ah...it hurts."
Sakura Matou covered her forehead, then puffed out her cheeks and protested, "Kanda-senpai, you clearly said I couldn't touch you, so why can you touch me? That's not fair."
"Because I'm very strong, so I think I can do it," Jiang Jing said with a smile.
"Alright, I came here only because you're cultivating too fast. I wanted to remind you to slow down your meditation and cultivation, and to use elemental magic to strengthen your body so that your mental and physical abilities are synchronized."
"Otherwise, if your mental strength grows too fast and your physical strength can't keep up, you might end up with a deformed appearance with a big head and a small body."
"What, really?" Matou Sakura exclaimed in surprise.
Jiang Jing shrugged: "You can try it if you don't believe me."
"Alright, I'm still making lunch. I'm going back now. Remember what I said."
"Kanda-senpai, will you come to see Sakura again in the future?" Matou Sakura called out anxiously just as Jiang Jing was about to leave.
Looking back at Matou Sakura, who had purple hair and purple eyes and seemed strangely attached to him, Jiang Jing thought for a moment and said, "It depends on the time. I'm quite busy over there. You can come over if you have time."
"Really?" Matou Sakura smiled happily.
"Uh... don't get too excited yet. Time passes very quickly here because of the world's reconstruction. One day on my side is forty or fifty days here."
"So when I said I'd come over sometime, it might be for a month or two, or even a year."
"Our world is being rebuilt? What do you mean, Kanda-senpai?" Matou Sakura was a little confused.
Jiang Jing shrugged: "It means exactly what it says. Didn't I come here to be the supervisor during the Holy Grail War?"
"Yes." Matou Sakura nodded; she remembered it.
"As a result, those guys got into a fight when I went back to sleep. They said I was a coward and didn't dare to come out, and they wanted to beat me up too. So when I went to teach them a lesson, I used a little force and blew the whole planet up."
"The entire planet was destroyed!" Six or seven-year-old Matou Sakura gaped, looking at Jiang Jing with a shocked and admiring expression.
"Okay, my lunch is almost ready. Goodbye."
Jiang Jing waved to Matou Sakura, who was about to become a little fangirl, and then flashed back to the first batch of seats, bowing his head slightly and remaining motionless.
Watching Jiang Jing's back as he sat in the chair, Matou Sakura calmed her excitement and her face returned to calm, her purple eyes becoming lifeless again.
However, Matou Sakura was sorting through the information Jiang Jing had revealed in his conversation with her earlier.
