The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

With no one in either space, Jiang Jing glanced briefly at the various subtle changes in this world that he had collected, and then arrived at the space where Rin Tohsaka was located.

“Rin, you’re here today.” Jiang Jing glanced at Rin Tohsaka, who was sitting on a bench reading a Chinese cookbook, and waved his hand to summon the spatial core.

Sitting cross-legged on a chair, dressed in winter clothes, Rin Tohsaka looked up at the river view and greeted it familiarly, "Kanda-senpai, you're here."

After saying that, Rin Tohsaka went back to looking at the book in her hand.

During this time, Rin Tohsaka was learning to cook Chinese dishes and discovered that while it was freezing outside, the interior was very warm. So every day after school, she would stay in this empty church where there was no one but her.

"Ah."

The two then went about their own business. After Jiang Jing dissipated the spatial core projection, he pondered for a moment, then turned to Rin Tohsaka and asked curiously, "Rin, are you also learning to cook? And you're even planning to make Chinese food?"

Rin Tohsaka nodded, her ponytails swaying as she said, "Yeah, it seems like Kotomine-senpai likes Chinese food. I'm going to learn how to cook it so I can treat him next time he comes."

"Kirei Kotomine, Rin, you're going to learn how to cook Chinese food to entertain him." Jiang Jing's gaze was somewhat strange.

It wasn't because Rin Tohsaka wasn't learning to cook for him like Sakura Matou, that he felt strange; it was because he remembered that this was the person who killed Rin Tohsaka's father.

Whether it was before the world line was reforged or in the reforged new world, Tokiomi Tohsaka was always killed by this apprentice in a sneak attack. So when Jiang Jing heard that Rin Tohsaka had specially learned to cook Chinese food just to feed him, he couldn't help but find it quite interesting.

Rin Tohsaka noticed that Jiang Jing's gaze was a little strange and asked in confusion, "What's wrong, senpai? Is there a problem?"

Suddenly, Rin Tohsaka thought of something and covered her mouth with a slight smugness, chuckling, "Don't worry, senpai, I'll make it for you to try when I learn how. Don't be jealous that only Kotomine-senpai gets to eat the food I make myself."

Jiang Jing smiled and said, "I'm not jealous. What I find strange is that you, Lin, would actually learn to cook for your father's killer, and even plan to study it thoroughly before inviting him to eat."

"Senior, you... what? What did you say, senior?"

Just as Rin Tohsaka was about to say, "Senior, don't try to hide it," she paused, then her expression changed. She suddenly stood up, staring wide-eyed at Jiang Jing, unable to believe her eyes.

“My father died at the hands of Matou Kariya during the Holy Grail War, so how could it have been Kotomine who killed him? My mother saw it with her own eyes that day.”

Rin Tohsaka was somewhat unwilling to believe the news. Her father's apprentice, the senior brother who had taken care of her and her mother after her father's death, was actually her father's killer.

Jiang Jing shrugged, ignoring Rin Tohsaka's questioning, and casually said, "Your father died at the hands of Kariya Matou, right? He told you that, and as for your mother witnessing it herself, that was quite an act."

"Unfortunately, the truth is that he attacked your father and then framed Matou Kariya."

"Of course, if you don't believe me, you can question him face to face. Given his personality, he should admit it if he doesn't know your true strength."

"How could this be?" Rin Tohsaka murmured, her mind a mess, but she knew perfectly well that Jiang Jing couldn't possibly be lying to her, so there was only one answer.

Jiang Jing, having dropped a bombshell, waved his hand irresponsibly: "Alright, whether you want revenge or not is up to you. I'm going back to sleep."

After saying that, Jiang Jing disappeared into the white space, leaving the girl, who was once again devastated, standing alone on the chair, staring blankly ahead.

Chapter 246 Rin Tohsaka Becomes a Dragon, Shionari (7K)

Squeak!

The church doors were so old that even with maintenance, they made a slight, harsh noise, while a beam of the setting sun shone through the slowly opening crack in the doors.

The sunset today cast a dark red glow, carrying an ominous air.

In the orange-red sunset, a girl wearing a navy blue elementary school uniform, black tights, a red bow around her neck, and pigtails stood there, with a small black schoolbag on her back.

Beneath the holy image, Kirei Kotomine, holding a Bible and dressed in a black robe, turned around, his face bearing the seriousness of a proper priest, and said in a low voice, "Rin, you came here to find me instead of going home after school? Are you in trouble?"

His words, spoken as a senior priest, revealed a hint of concern for the little girl. Anyone unaware of the situation would surely feel a sense of goodwill towards this stern-faced priest.

Rin Tohsaka was like that before. When her father died and her mother became paralyzed, she developed feelings for her senior who cared for and helped her, although she rarely accepted his help on the surface because of her tsundere personality.

Standing at the door with her back to the setting sun, Rin Tohsaka silently looked at Kirei Kotomine, whose expression was solemn but whose eyes remained as calm as ever, and nodded slightly after a moment of silence.

"Well, Rin has something she wants to ask Kotomine-senpai."

Thinking it was some kind of parent-teacher conference or something at Rin Tohsaka's school, Kirei Kotomine closed the Bible in his hand and asked, "Oh, what is it?"

Because she lowered her head slightly, Rin Tohsaka's face was hidden in shadow, making it impossible to see her expression. She said in a low voice, "You killed my father, didn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Kirei Kotomine's expression remained solemn, his gaze unchanged, and he said in a deep voice, "Rin, how could you think I would kill the teacher? Didn't your mother already tell you that she saw Kariya Matou kill the teacher with her own eyes?"

Rin Tohsaka raised her head, her eyes filled with anger as she stared intently at the hypocritical Kirei Kotomine: "You fake priest, stop making excuses. Someone has already told me the whole truth."

Looking at the girl who was convinced that he had killed Tokiomi Tohsaka, Kirei Kotomine finally dropped his pretense, a look of pleasure spreading across his face: "Wow! Someone told you the whole truth? Who was that person?"

Looking at Kirei Kotomine, who had already tacitly agreed, Rin Tohsaka clenched her fists, the anger of betrayal and deception rising to the top of her head, and gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"Who it is doesn't matter. What matters is that you admit you killed my father, don't you, you despicable teacher-killer?"

"The master-killer!"

Kirei Kotomine smiled faintly: "No, this is just a battle conducted in accordance with the rules of the Holy Grail War, and how can a battle not result in death, right?"

"Since my teacher chose to participate in the Holy Grail War, and I have also participated in the Holy Grail War, he must have been mentally prepared to fight me, his disciple, one day."

Eight-year-old Rin Tohsaka glared angrily at Kirei Kotomine, who remained calm and composed, and said fiercely, "But you despicable man, you took advantage of my father's trust and ambushed him, which is why you died. Otherwise, you would not have been a match for my father in a head-on fight."

Kirei Kotomine said calmly, "Since it's war, of course, anything goes. How can a sneak attack be considered despicable? As your senior, I'll teach you one last lesson today."

"That means the winner is the one who survives on the battlefield."

"You shouldn't have come to me today. I originally wanted to cultivate you into a useful pawn, and then tell you the truth when the next war would make you the vessel for the Holy Grail."

"I imagine your expression at that moment will be the most delightful meal I've had in over a decade."

As he spoke, Kirei Kotomine slowly walked towards Rin Tohsaka, his gaze towards her gradually sharpening like that of a lion awakening, and an invisible atmosphere of oppression gradually spread.

Now that the truth has been discovered, Kirei Kotomine has no intention of letting Rin Tohsaka leave.

Because if Rin Tohsaka were to leave, and word got out that she participated in the last Holy Grail War and murdered her teacher, it would affect her plans for the next Holy Grail War.

This makes it impossible to achieve ultimate pleasure.

As for the thought that killing a girl might be too cruel, it never even crossed Kirei Kotomine's mind. In his eyes, there were only enemies, passersby, and allies who might become enemies.

Now that Rin Tohsaka has become an enemy, then of course only a dead enemy is a good enemy.

As Kirei Kotomine slowly approached, Rin Tohsaka's pupils contracted, and her gaze turned cold: "You want to kill me."

Kirei Kotomine said calmly, "Useless pieces should be eliminated from the game, otherwise they will only get in the way."

"Is that so?" A flash of light appeared in Rin Tohsaka's hanging palms, revealing a red gem that emitted a faint magical fluctuation.

Kirei Kotomine's gaze flickered slightly, but his approaching steps did not stop.

He had also studied the Tohsaka family's jewel magic, and its power was indeed very strong. However, he didn't take Rin Tohsaka, who was only eight years old and had only been learning magic for a year, seriously.

In Kirei Kotomine's eyes, Rin Tohsaka made a big mistake today. Instead of secretly lying low and increasing her strength to seek revenge after learning that he had killed her father, she came to question him.

Isn't this just blatant suicide? Kids really are just kids.

When Kirei Kotomine approached within five meters of Rin Tohsaka, his aura suddenly changed, transforming him from a harmless priest into an aggressive elite warrior, unleashing a burst of power with a single step.

boom!!

Because of his incredible speed, Kirei Kotomine appeared before Rin Tohsaka in the blink of an eye, accompanied by the whooshing sound of the wind. He tucked his left hand into a defensive stance and lashed out at Rin's neck with his right hand in a claw-like motion.

The force of the hand before it even landed made the hairs on Rin Tohsaka's neck stand on end, knowing that if he grabbed her, he would not hesitate to break her neck.

However, at that moment, the gem that Kirei Kotomine had been guarding with his left hand, Rin Tohsaka, was holding shone brightly with red light, but it did not activate its magic and throw it out as Kirei Kotomine had expected.

Instead, it transformed into two half-meter-long magical short swords amidst flashes of red light. The magical swords emitted sharp sword light and exuded a sharpness that sent chills down Kirei Kotomine's spine.

At the same time, a powerful energy surge suddenly erupted from the petite Rin Tohsaka. Her sword, though slower than Rin, struck at Kirei Kotomine's right hand with astonishing speed, aiming for his chest and abdomen.

brush!

*Pfft! Pfft!*

Rin Tohsaka's incredibly sharp magic sword easily sliced ​​open Kirei Kotomine's right hand, leaving a wound over twenty centimeters long that almost ripped open his right forearm, from which blood gushed out.

This was only because he reacted instantly and pulled his hand back; otherwise, his entire palm would have been severed.

At the same time, the sword aimed at his chest and abdomen was only grazed by the sword light of the demon swordsman because the gatekeeper's left hand was attacking Rin Tohsaka's face to relieve the attack on the enemy's position. It left a shallow wound that was a dozen centimeters long.

Although Kirei Kotomine dodged the fatal sword strike, he was sent flying by Rin Tohsaka's Dragon Tail Kick, which she used to dodge his left punch.

boom!

Kirei Kotomine flew several meters with the sound of breaking ribs, smashing through three chairs before coming to a stop. He lay on the ground, unable to get up for a while, covered in blood and looking extremely disheveled.

The exchange happened in the blink of an eye, but the situation in the church was instantly reversed. The seemingly weak girl transformed into a dragon, revealing sharp fangs and claws, and with one swipe, she nearly killed the seemingly harmless but ferocious lion.

Kirei Kotomine struggled to his feet, his right hand hanging limply from the ground, his left hand clutching his chest, his face pale as he stared in disbelief at Rin Tohsaka, who held swords in both hands.

"Cough cough... How... is this possible... This isn't... the Tohsaka family's... Jewel Magic..."

Rin Tohsaka remained silent, looking at Kirei Kotomine, who was covered in blood. In her first battle, a struggle flickered in her eyes, and she hesitated, her steps faltering as she should have pressed her advantage.

But the thought of her revered father being killed by the despicable man before her, and her mother becoming mentally unstable after returning home that day, eventually succumbing to depression and not living past a year, instantly ignited a murderous intent within Rin Tohsaka.

Holding swords in both hands, surrounded by red light radiating powerful energy, Rin Tohsaka walked resolutely toward Kirei Kotomine, ready to avenge her parents.

However, just as Rin Tohsaka's attention was entirely focused on Kirei Kotomine, the church window suddenly shattered, and three golden beams of light appeared with a terrifying aura.

With astonishing speed, it appeared before Rin Tohsaka in an instant, accompanied by a piercing whistle.

Rin Tohsaka was startled. The light on her twin swords surged, and she blocked the two golden swords that appeared in front of her. However, she could not stop the other spear-axe that was pointed at her head.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The powerful explosion sent Kirei Kotomine flying from the distance. Before the dust settled, a soft exclamation came from outside the window: "What was that?"

Immediately afterwards, more than a dozen Noble Phantasms radiating golden light tore through the air and struck the center of the explosion like missiles.

Boom boom boom boom boom!!!

"Go that way."

From the epicenter of the explosion came a sharp shout from Rin Tohsaka, followed by a sword light several meters long that tore through the smoke and appeared behind Kirei Kotomine, who was getting up and preparing to escape.

"The person I want to save, do you think you can kill him?" A faint, arrogant voice rang out, and a golden longsword shot out from the void, blocking the sword energy that was about to kill Kirei Kotomine.

boom!!

puff! !

The sword energy was blocked, but a sharp sword energy that escaped from the explosion severed Kirei Kotomine's right arm. However, he only groaned and staggered into the back door of the church, disappearing from sight.

Boom boom boom boom!!

More than a dozen golden beams flew in through the window, stopping Rin Tohsaka from her pursuit. Then, the vague figure outside the window also disappeared in a flash, showing no intention of continuing the chase.

When the explosion subsided, the entire solemn church was destroyed, and the ground was riddled with craters, as if it had been bombarded.

Rin Tohsaka, unharmed, stood in a large crater several meters in diameter, her gaze fixed on the severed arm in the corner. She stood silently, showing no intention of continuing the pursuit.
