"First, we will transfer spiritual energy. Please enter the enclosure," said the team leader, who was dressed in combat uniforms.

Kurokawa Kazuya looked around.

There are a total of sixteen people.

In other words, including him and Ryougi Shiki, a total of sixteen people participated in this spirit transfer.

"Well then, see you later, Shiki." Kurokawa Kazuya waved to Ryougi Shiki and walked into his own frame. Just in case, he had just handed Avalon to Ryougi Shiki.

After all, even if something happens to him, he can run away immediately.

D4C is present.

There's absolutely no need to worry.

The Master's tests will come later; the first thing to do is spirit particle transfer. Otherwise, even if the Master has excellent adaptability, it will be a waste if spirit particle transfer cannot be performed.

"Anti-Summoning System, activated. Initiating spirit particle transfer. 3, 2, 1 seconds remaining until spirit particle transfer begins..."

"The entire project is complete. Experimental verification begins—coronal designation."

moment.

The world then changed.

Kurokawa Kazuya seemed to see the band of light moving.

Time...space.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in a room.

"Shiki, you're here too."

"Hmm." Ryougi Shiki nodded and looked around: "Where is this?"

Kurokawa Kazuya looked around: "Hmm...it seems like it's still Chaldea. What's going on?"

Just then.

Another person appeared beside them, who looked like someone who had just been transferred there by the spirit.

"Don't panic, everyone."

Rafe's voice came at this moment: "As you can see, there are three people who can perform spirit particle transfer this time... It's really unexpected. Normally, no one should appear. This is a qualification that not everyone has."

"So, where is this? What's going on?" Kurokawa Kazuya asked, looking at Rafe behind the glass on the high platform in front of him.

"It's nothing, your spirit particle transfer was successful. Spirit particle transfer is a technology that allows you to travel between eras, but the use of this ability is strictly limited by the United Nations. We cannot choose a particular era for you to descend into, so just like now, the location of your spirit particle transfer is still Chaldea."

"However, it was Chaldea just one minute ago, and a specific location was set up, which is this room—the experimental room for summoning Heroic Spirits. We'll have to wait a while for the specific data. In the meantime, you can familiarize yourselves with the feeling you just experienced; that was spirit particle transfer."

"And what about Heroic Spirit Summoning?" the third person who transferred via spirit particles said. "That's why I came here!"

"Hmm... alright, the results are in..." Rafe said, looking at the report handed to him by the person next to him: "...Miles Dougherty. First, you..."

Looking at the report in his hand, Rafe sighed and said, "This is terrible... Your success requires fifteen times the standard energy."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. If we set the minimum standard for Chaldea's Master selection to perform spirit transfer at level one, you're fifteen times worse than the weakest one! That's it, you're completely unqualified. To save energy, I advise you not to attempt Heroic Spirit Summoning. It's too wasteful."

"What—? You bastard!"

“Alright, so, the other two, Kurokawa and Mi… um?” Rafe paused, then looked at the staff member beside him and said, “Um, is there anything wrong with the data?”

"Yes." The staff member nodded, somewhat incredulously, and said, "That's right, exactly... there were no mistakes."

"...Alright then, Kurokawa Kazuya, your energy consumption is...0.03. Currently, you are the most adaptable person to spirit particle transfer in Chaldea. The best person besides you is 0.08. You are also one of the current Masters of Chaldea's Group A."

"Then there's Ryougi Shiki... Impossible! How can they all be so outrageous!" Rafe's expression changed once again as he looked at the data in his hand, which had been calm at first.

It became extremely ugly.

"Oh..." Kurokawa Kazuya chuckled. "Well then, tell me? How much is it exactly?"

"....0.0009"

Chapter 338 Summoning Heroic Spirits

"Check it again!" After obtaining the data, Rafe said to the staff beside him, "We have to check it again. This data... this data is definitely wrong! It must be like this... There are a few extra zeros, right? It should be 0.9 or 0.09, right? 0.0009... How is that possible! How could such a thing happen!"

"Yes... I understand."

"Um... what about my Heroic Spirit summoning?"

“Oh…do you really have to do this?” Rafe calmed himself down and smiled at the man named Miles Dougherty. “If you insist on continuing, I have no problem with it. However…”

"I understand! I will double my investment from now on!"

“Yes, that’s good.” Rafe nodded in satisfaction. “Then let’s do it this way. Wait a moment, we can begin after we verify the data.”

“Hmm…that’s right, we really should verify that.” Miles Dougherty nodded, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. “Fifteen times…how is that possible! Right…they must have been charging me for their energy consumption, that must be it! Hey—by the way, who are you people? I’ve never seen you before?”

"Shiki, don't look at idiots, you'll catch it."

Hey! Who are you talking to?!

“See? Just like that,” Kurokawa Kazuya said with a smile.

“Okay, I understand.” Ryougi Shiki nodded and walked to Kurokawa Kazuya’s side. “But when will this end? These clothes are really uncomfortable to wear.”

"It should be soon," Kurokawa Kazuya said after thinking for a moment. "Well, you see, the spirit transfer is over, and next is the Master qualification test, right? By the way, what kind of Heroic Spirit do you want to summon?"

“I…yes, if it were to summon…” Ryougi Shiki thought for a moment and said, “Summoning one that can…I’ll keep it a secret for now.”

"Haha, let's see what kind of heroic spirits you can summon."

"Professor Rafe, the data is in!" Rafe quickly took the report and began to read it, his face growing increasingly grim.

0.0009.

There are no errors in the data.

The detailed terms are listed below.

Among them... the transmission of clothing accounted for the vast majority of the consumption. Even though Master's combat suit had already been processed to minimize consumption, it still consumed less than the transmission of a single piece of clothing!

Is she really human?

Instead of anything else... like Heroic Spirits.

Displayed separately.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of this ability.

This is a characteristic of the Beast class; the possibility of other classes having this ability is infinitely close to zero.

But what is this now?

What exactly is going on with her teleportation consumption?

Did something go wrong with the machine? Or... is she actually a Beast-class being who disguised herself and came here?

"Ha...haha...if that's really the case, this world is truly beyond saving. Trouble just keeps popping up one after another..."

Human reason is burned away.

This was inevitable.

If we want to avoid that future, we must burn humanity!

Not only that, but also the person in front of you...

No, whether she is human or not is still a question mark. Her true identity is unknown... perhaps she is a Beast from a parallel universe.

She was brought here by that man, Kurokawa Kazuya.

That might not be wrong.

"Hey—how did it go! Did something go wrong? How could I be so bad?"

“Unfortunately, that’s the truth.” Rafe put down the report in front of him and said, “The previous data was completely correct, without the slightest error. So, the next step is the Heroic Spirit Summoning. Do you still want to participate?”

“Hmm…” Miles Dougherty took two steps back and gritted his teeth: “Of course! Of course I’ll give it a try!”

"Then you can start."

Following Rafe's instructions, Miles went to the base plate for performing Spirit Origin Summoning and poured magic into it.

Buzz——————

The array plate began to rotate slightly, as if it were starting to connect with something.

Leif frowned slightly at the scene before him. The probability of summoning a Heroic Spirit was almost zero. Normally, one would need to be a Master, which was the minimum standard set by Chaldea. The array plate rotating three notches would be considered a success.

Gradually, the light completely disappeared.

Nothing appeared in front of me.

"How...how is it?" Miles Dougherty took a deep breath, looking at the situation before him, he was also unsure of the situation.

“Master’s aptitude is…0.” Rafe said to Miles Dougherty, “Completely no aptitude. Even if we used fifteen times the resources to barely transfer you into a spirit particle, it would only be suicide.”

Leif sighed softly and said gently, "So... you failed. Of course, if you are willing to pay fifteen times the price before, and can tolerate the fact that after the spirit transfer, other Masters have Servants to command but you don't, then of course we are willing to let you stay."

Or rather, the more idiots like this, the better!

"Ten...fifteen times? No...never mind, I'm not participating!"

"That's good." Rafe nodded. "Then, it's your turn, Kurokawa and Miya."

"Understood." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded and placed his hand on it, and the magical power extracted through the Mystic Eye was injected into the device in front of him.

Buzz————

The array plate began to rotate once again.

The light slowly appeared, and then—it formed a dark shadow.

"Roar----!!!"

"This is... a Shadow Servant?" Leif exclaimed in surprise. However, upon closer inspection, it wasn't entirely impossible. After all, Kurokawa Kazuya seemed to have participated in the Holy Grail War in other worlds, so summoning something like this wasn't surprising. But... this was bad!

"Da Vinci! Da Vinci, come quick—a shadow follower has appeared here—"
