It allows them to better understand each person's abilities.

but...

In this battle, Kurokawa and Ryougi Shiki completely exposed their "utter lack of magical power"...

Ryougi Shiki is because she wasn't originally a magician.

There was no special effort put into cultivation.

Anyway, there's Ripple, so this is simpler than magic. Just use Ripple to enhance your strength and speed, then rush in and slash with a knife.

As for Kurokawa and Miyabi... he did want to refine magic power, but apart from the high-level magic circuits inherent in his eyes, the magic power refined from within his own body would be completely covered by the Ripple Breath.

It cannot be extracted.

As for the eyes... although the magic circuit is very advanced, it is only for the eyes after all.

The amount of magic power that can be extracted is still very limited.

As for the "Unnamed" display on Chaldea's equipment, that's Ripple...

Because Chaldea lacks data on this, and even the strength of its members is unknown, it can only use "unnamed" as a substitute. Furthermore, due to the lack of data, it is impossible to determine even the specific level of Chaldea.

"However, it seems that both of them are very good at protecting themselves," Dr. Roman said. "Especially Kurokawa Kazuya, who defeated a wyvern all by himself. It seems that he still has some strange moves he hasn't used yet... He can unleash C-level strength in a short period of time using that strange move... It makes one wonder if he is even human."

“Yes… for example, traveling to parallel worlds and related things…” Rafe said with a smile…

but.

Aside from that, he's just a third-rate Servant, at most a little better than a typical third-rate Servant... and that's only because of his Magic Eye.

However, if a Servant possesses a high level of magic resistance...

hum.

That thing is useless against the Demon Pillar.

In other words...

He poses less of a threat to the Demon Pillar than a third-rate Servant!

And... if someone like him wants to face a Demon Pillar that even a top-tier Servant might not be able to defeat... he's doomed.

First, separate Kurokawa and Yashiki.

Avoid using that technique that allows you to travel to parallel worlds to escape.

Then... kill Ryougi Shiki... this dangerous being.

In contrast, while Kurokawa Kazuya is also troublesome, his importance is several levels lower.

"Hmph, let's focus on that for now. One training session isn't enough to determine the outcome; there might be some mistakes or omissions..." Olga Marie said, "Let's save the data first."

"Yes--"

Olga Marie, the current director of Chaldea, decided to wait and see, until Kurokawa, Yami, and Ryougi Shiki had used the training equipment a few more times before making a judgment.

Then...

Kurokawa and Yashiki Ryougi...

The training equipment was not used again until the next spirit transfer began.

Chapter 352 The Ryougi Family's Proposal

"Mode..."

"what happened?"

"No, it's nothing. We've arrived anyway." Kurokawa Kazuya slowly slowed down and looked at the Ryougi House in front of him. "I'll stay at your place tonight so I can take you to school tomorrow."

"Welcome back, Miss Shiki, Mr. Kurokawa." Just then, the gate of the Ryougi family's residence opened.

"Ah, Mr. Akitaka, thank you."

"Mr. Kurokawa... please come to the main hall later. The head of the family needs to speak with you."

"Looking for me?" Kurokawa Kazuya paused for a moment, then nodded. "Sure, I'll be there in a bit."

"Excuse me."

Yanmu Qiulong bowed, and two servants from the Liangyi family came out to help him with the gift.

"Well then, Shi, I'll go see what your father has to say first."

"Ah, I understand."

Ryougi Shiki waved her hand dismissively and went inside.

"Mr. Kurokawa, this way please." Akira Kenki led the way, and soon Kurokawa Kazuya saw Ryougi Shiki's father... the head of the Ryougi family.

In fact, no one knows his real name, Kurokawa Kazuya.

The servants called him Master, and Ryougi Shiki called him Father...

I also call him the head of the family, so I don't know his real name or anything like that...

"It's been a while..." the head of the Ryougi family said to Kurokawa Kazuya, "My daughter has been well taken care of by you during this time."

"It's nothing, but... did the patriarch call me here for something?"

"Hmm." The head of the Ryougi family nodded, then paused for a few seconds before saying, "There are indeed some things... What do you think of Shiki?"

Kurokawa Kazuya was taken aback, wondering why the head of the Ryougi family was suddenly asking these questions at this time.

I thought about it.

His heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that he's afraid I'll make unwanted advances towards her daughter...?

That's true. No matter who it is, it would feel strange if their daughter took them out for so long and didn't come back.

"Hmm..." Kurokawa Kazuya tentatively said, "Shiki is very cute, isn't she? What's wrong?"

"Well... I'll just be frank."

The head of the Ryougi family looked at Kurokawa Kazuya and said, "I want you to marry into the Ryougi family. I wonder what your thoughts are?"

"...Huh? Huh?"

What is this operation?

Why are you suddenly talking about this kind of thing?

"You are aware of Shiki's situation and the Ryougi family's situation. We cannot stand idly by and do nothing about this... And, currently, you are the most suitable candidate among all the options. If it were you, Shiki should not object."

The head of the Ryougi family looked at Kurokawa Kazuya and continued, "Shiki Mirai is, after all, the head of the Ryougi family and our greatest masterpiece. If it's something she's decided on, even we can't oppose it. Similarly, even if we forcibly assign someone to her, there's nothing we can do if she doesn't agree."

"Hmm...so you want me to marry into the Ryougi family and persuade Shiki, right?"

“That’s right.” The head of the Ryougi family nodded. “You know Shiki’s situation all too well. Shiki and Ori… most people wouldn’t even be able to accept such a relationship, let alone marry into the family. And… that’s just the surface issue. Shiki’s murderous impulse… although she hasn’t acted on it yet, even I can feel that impulse growing stronger with time. I don’t know when she will lose control of her impulse… in other words…”

"So, there's still a risk to my life?" Kurokawa Kazuya chuckled. "But is it really that obvious? You're clearly trying to persuade me to marry into your family, but the way you're saying it makes it sound like you're trying to scare me away..."

The head of the Ryougi family forced a stiff smile: "Will you be scared away? Shiki has shown murderous intent towards you more than once or twice... but... there's nothing I can do. A month, two months... a year, two years. I can consider that as a 'novelty.' But... ten years! Think about it carefully. In ten years, you still haven't grown tired of her, been afraid, or felt any fear... and you've even taken her around to play. Shiki seems very happy too... even I haven't spent as much time with Shiki as you have."

"No, let me correct you." The head of the Ryougi family paused for a moment before continuing, "Besides Shiki and Ori, who are two distinct personalities, you're the one who's been by her side the longest. In fact... you should know that child better than I do, right? Her personality, her hobbies. Isn't that right?"

"Yes, that's right." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded. Ten years... from the beginning until now. Not a single thing has changed.

This was true in the past, it is true now, and it will remain true in the future.

"So, give me an answer: do you agree to my proposal? The matter of marrying into the Ryougi family—"

Kurokawa Kazuya took a deep breath, his previously steady breathing now disordered. A full minute or so passed—

Kurokawa Kazuya's heart continued to beat at several times its usual rate.

It looked like it was about to explode at any moment.

The head of the Ryougi family sat silently opposite Kurokawa Kazuya, and an eerie silence fell over the room.

Slowly, Kurokawa Kazuya managed to calm his breathing and said, "I really like Shiki, and I think the head of the family should understand that very well."

"Ah."

"Furthermore, I don't care about marrying into another family or anything like that, and I don't care about surnames or anything like that. Even if I change from Kurokawa to Ryougi, it doesn't matter to me."

"So, what are the conditions?" the head of the Liangyi family asked, without giving a direct answer. He implied that these words implied conditions.

However... whatever the conditions, as long as the Ryougi family can continue, that's fine.

Japan has four major exorcism families, but what about now?

The Ryougi family is arguably the most successful right now... so they don't want to give up, no matter what it is; they must maintain it, or at least ensure the family's continued prosperity...

As long as it's that way, whatever it is is fine.

“Yes…” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded: “I hope we can get Ryougi Shiki’s consent to this matter. If Shiki agrees, then I will not object.”

The head of the Liangyi family was taken aback: "Is that all?"

"Yes, that's all."

"Hmph...hahaha...hahahahaha————" The rarely laughing head of the Liangyi family burst into loud laughter.

This was the first time Kurokawa Kazuya had ever seen this old-fashioned guy laugh like that.

"Shiki—you heard that too, come out."

"Huh?" Kurokawa Kazuya was stunned for a moment, and his heart, which had just calmed down, immediately started beating a hundred million times faster!

My consciousness started to blur.

Just a heads-up, there will only be two chapters tomorrow.
