I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

With the help of his newly acquired magic eye.

Out of curiosity, he pushed open the door, and the next moment, he saw two people facing off in the corridor.

The priest and the dead.

The Dead Apostle bared its fangs, its eyes bloodshot, seemingly demonic eyes as well.

He exuded a chilling aura.

The priest pulled out the black key and muttered biblical allusions to himself.

Upon seeing himself emerge, the priest paused briefly and asked, "How are your eyes adjusting?"

"Thank you for your concern, Father Eddington. I'm adapting very well."

"That's good." The priest smiled slightly, then turned his gaze back to the dead apostle.

Both of them were ready for battle, waiting for the moment the train stopped.

Waaaaahh ...

Accompanied by such sounds.

The train slowed down more and more, until finally...

It came to a complete stop.

The moment the car door opened, the assassin ran out at an extremely fast speed.

The priest, too, pursued them with a speed beyond human comprehension, like a black phantom.

next moment!

The Dead Apostle, who had been running, suddenly stopped, turned around, and glared at Kurokawa Kazuya with a grim expression: "You bastard!!"

"I'm sorry." Kurokawa Kazuya's right eye emitted a faint golden light. "After all, it was just transplanted, so it went out of control."

Chapter 194 The Clock Tower

Dead Apostle Colin Kidd's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

He broke free from Kurokawa Kazuya's forced magic eyes in the next moment, however—at this moment, a black key had already been inserted into his head.

There were many magicians around, but they all adopted a wait-and-see attitude and showed no intention of making a move.

After all... the Holy Church and the Dead Apostles are their enemies.

The next moment, something surprising happened to Kurokawa Kazuya.

Even with a black key stuck in his head, that assassin still managed to escape.

The priest gave Kurokawa and Mi a slight bow, then followed after them.

The two figures simply vanished.

Kurokawa Kazuya narrowed his eyes slightly. That Dead Apostle had harbored ill intentions towards him from the very beginning. He had casually asked him a few questions on the train, seemingly just casual inquiries, the kind of questions for which he didn't need to know the answers.

However—their own substitutes had already revealed the answers given in their souls.

That dead apostle was his enemy.

Therefore, it's best to be killed.

But... he had a premonition.

It won't end like this. I will encounter this treacherous disciple again someday, and... it won't be long, within the next few years.

At that time, perhaps everything will change.

"Is the experiment complete?" Mavis and Ryori Adashino got out of the car and asked, "Do you remember? You need to register at the Clock Tower. Shall I show you the way?"

"Of course, I have no idea how to get into the clock tower."

Kurokawa Kazuya smiled and said.

“Let’s go together then,” Mavis smiled.

The three of them walked out together, where a car was already waiting.

Kurokawa Kazuya and Mavis sat in the back, squinting slightly at the girl in front of them through their perspective—Himeko Adashino.

Unlike her appearance in "The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II", which always gave the impression that she was the mastermind behind everything, this character is different.

She now feels...even more dangerous.

Although he didn't say anything the whole way, he gave people the feeling of being stared at by a snake.

Clock Tower —

There is no real magical barrier around here.

The barrier here is naturally formed.

A place that arises naturally without any magic or supernatural intervention. It can be considered the highest level of barrier.

The aura of magic is undetectable, and it also has a repulsive effect. Even a magician might not be able to find this place without being led by someone familiar with it.

And now.

Kazuya Kurokawa then entered this highest institution of magic.

In an instant, I sensed a difference; the air was filled with a rich ether... relative to the outside world, of course.

The magic here is no less powerful than that of the place where the Magic Eye Collection Train is located.

He might have encountered similar situations in his previous place of residence, but at that time he did not have the Magic Eye and could not make a judgment at all.

Now that he has this new organ, he feels as if the whole world has changed...

Other people probably wouldn't encounter something like this.

Because they were magicians from the beginning, unlike Kurokawa and Miya, who didn't have any magic power before they had the Mystic Eyes, let alone be able to sense magic power.

Therefore, even if others were to have a different magic eye, there wouldn't be any unexpected changes.

In fact, if you look closely at Kurokawa and Miya's eyes, you can still find some differences.

The difference is significant when the Mystic Eyes are activated; one eye is gold and the other is jewel-colored.

When not activated, his left eye is completely black.

It's even darker than before. Before, Kurokawa Kazuya's eyes could only be described as grayish-black, but now... they are truly pitch black, as if they can absorb all the darkness.

The right eye is black with a slight glow.

Simply put, the left eye is very dark and gloomy, giving people the feeling that the person is very gloomy and evil.

The right eye, on the other hand, gives off a cheerful and positive feeling...

He is also preparing to make himself an eye patch so that he can cover his left eye when he has nothing to do.

Generally speaking, unless you're looking at objects or performing magic tricks, your right eye is sufficient.

Otherwise, the inconsistency between the two eyes would probably be noticed... no, it's certain that something would be noticed.

I just didn't ask.

"By the way, how is the clock tower typically rated?"

"It's very simple. The division is based on the 'Sacrifice' position. Below the 'Sacrifice' position, a Level 1 lecturer can generally make their own decisions. However, to open a position, one needs recommendation letters from at least three Level 1 lecturers, publish ten or more high-quality magic papers, and then obtain the approval of the monarch of the relevant subject before being promoted."

"Leaving aside the position of priest, the position of master requires the approval of one monarch and the publication of at least one magic patent. The position of color requires the approval of at least three monarchs and the publication of three magic patents. The position of crown requires the approval of at least seven monarchs and the publication of seven magic patents, or... the repair of a magic base."

"Magic base plate..."

“Yes, you must have heard of her, right? Aozaki Touko, she holds several magic patents and repaired the magic base of the runes... Perhaps that's why she was designated to be sealed by the Mage's Association.” Mavis said casually, “Although there are supposedly deeper reasons, I don't know about that. The Association is also preparing to grant her the Grand Rank qualification... but it will be granted to her deep within the Bureau of Mystic Trials... marking her specimen with the title of ‘Grand Rank Magician’... something like that.”

“Hmm… I understand a little now. So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, I should be the eldest son this time, or perhaps even the youngest.” Kurokawa Kazuya pondered for a moment and said, “After all, I still know absolutely nothing about magic, not to mention magic papers; I haven’t published a single one.”

“No…if I’m not mistaken, you should be the priest,” Mavis said. “You should know that, right?”

"The Mystic Eyes...?"

“That’s right... your Demon Eyes are qualified for this position.”

Mavis smiled and said, "After all, that position is mainly awarded to people like you who have the ability but are not actually magicians... or rather, there are more magicians in this position."

Magicians and magicians are different.

A magician is someone who will stop at nothing to reach the root of all things.

A magician is someone who uses magical techniques as tools...

The form of address changes slightly depending on the purpose.

"We've arrived," Hirori Adashino, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly said. "We've arrived at the Department of Law and Politics."

"Hmm? Here?" Kurokawa Kazuya looked out the car window.

“Yes.” Mavis nodded. “All the streets here belong to the Department of Law and Politics.”

Chapter 195 Subspecies Holy Grail War

"This is the end—"

Even though he could not see in one eye, the priest's face remained resolute.

They lost an eye, but that dead apostle...

The black keys on his chest were about to lead him on the road to hell.

"Pray, and the Lord will forgive you."

"Ugh..." The Dead Apostle barely managed to stay upright by supporting his knees.

Blood kept flowing from the wound, staining the ground red.

"The end?" Dead Apostle Colin Kidd laughed, a loud, raucous laugh. His grin stretched from ear to ear: "The one whose end is over—! Haha, looks like you didn't realize why I went to the Eye of the Demon to collect the train. Why did I go there specifically? Was it just to avoid you?"

The priest frowned, unsure of what he was trying to say, but—whatever he was thinking didn't matter.
