That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

"Its nature is like an inherent barrier; those who step into the dense fog are as if entering another world."

"The dense fog will periodically spread and may potentially extend to the entire Uruk region."

"Within the thick fog lies a world of death, teeming with wandering spirits that wantonly seize souls."

“A creature that has lost its soul will become hungry for the soul, thereby losing its reason, attacking others, and becoming intoxicated by the soul.”

Hall engraved the contents of his report on the clay tablet.

The information is incomplete, only describing the surface changes that Kusa City is currently facing, without mentioning the reasons for these changes or the culprits.

A complete investigation report on Kusa City will not be presented until at least after Fujimaru Ritsuka arrives at the Seventh Singularity.

"After all, I'm not some kind of demon, so I'll leave the results of this investigation report to Fujimaru Ritsuka."

Hall chuckled to himself, his voice light and cheerful.

Keep the clay tablet safe and wait until you encounter the High Priestess Siduri before having her present it to King Gilgamesh.

After leaving the room and going downstairs, I looked around the huge tavern lobby and found it completely empty.

It was noon, and hardly anyone was still in the dormitory.

Because Hall needed to build the Dark Souls world, his biological clock was basically completely reversed compared to everyone else.

They leave when it gets dark and return when it gets light.

The work to transform Kusa City is now in its final stages, with a large number of spirits emerging from the underworld and wandering around the city on the ground.

Many souls also chose to become Undead Challengers, and even those who achieved something all fell before the Soul Judge Gundyr.

When an undead person dies more than ten times, they will gradually degenerate into a spirit that thirsts for a soul.

After Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Fuuma Kotaro suffered setbacks, they attempted to challenge the Soul Judge Gundyr five times over three days, becoming more cautious each time. Although they could not defeat Gundyr, each battle often lasted longer than the last.

From being instantly defeated the first time to lasting five minutes the second time, ten minutes the third time, twelve minutes the fourth time, and thirteen minutes the fifth time.

"In every battle, they adopted a conservative, purely defensive strategy, completely abandoning any possibility of defeating Gundyr, and focusing on gaining experience..."

"This is the correct way to play Dark Souls, but unfortunately it's not a game."

Hall placed his hands on the table and closed his eyes in thought.

"They are most likely waiting for reinforcements. Gathering information in advance is in preparation for reinforcements. They should be very clear that they have no chance of winning."

Beep!Beep!Beep!

A strange notification sound echoed in the empty tavern hall.

Hall suddenly opened his eyes; it was a communication from Chaldea.

Currently, Chaldea can directly contact Olga Marie or contact the dormitory through the Spirit Anchor coordinates of the tavern.

Chaldea can detect information around the dormitory through spirit anchors, such as determining the number of people and information through spirit origin information.

"Strange, I'm all alone here."

Hall's gaze fell on the blue magic circle that had emitted the sound, meaning that this communication was likely directed at him.

A projection unfolds.

Before he could even see the person clearly, Hall heard the girl's lively and cheerful voice: "Okay! Okay! I see her, the teacher is really here! Why?"

Hall raised an eyebrow and looked at the projected image. The energetic girl seemed to want to jump out of the projection, as if she wanted to press her face against the screen.

Dressed in white with a black skirt, orange hair and golden eyes, with delicate and well-proportioned features, she exudes a sunny and cheerful aura.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, the last human Master of Chaldea.

At the same time, Dr. Roman's helpless voice came through: "Alright, alright, Ritsuka, even if you're not this close to the screen, he can still see you. Calm down for a while."

"I saw it."

Fujimaru Ritsuka took a step back, and without any sign of nervousness, greeted Hall with a cheerful smile: "Sensei, how have you been for a while?"

"Not bad, but you're still the same."

Hall nodded, his gaze softening. Although the so-called Fujimaru Ritsuka in the game was actually the player himself, acting as a camera for the storyline.

After actually meeting her, Hall understood why she was able to accomplish the great task of saving humanity and why so many Servants trusted her.

Knowing that the intention is good, one can still commit evil deeds; being a good person, one can tolerate malice; being abused by evil, one can still maintain a kind heart.

This is the Lion King's evaluation of Fujimaru Ritsuka, which belongs to the neutral-good attribute and is also the essence of Fujimaru Ritsuka's personality.

It embodies the Doctrine of the Mean while also possessing courage; it is about doing good while also being able to tolerate necessary evil.

Beyond her unwavering beliefs lies a radiant, naturally approachable personality, as bright as sunshine.

Judging by the standards of a magician, Fujimaru Ritsuka is probably a very mediocre type.

If this were a human society, such as a school with rich social activities, she would probably be the most dazzling star, the kind of person who is popular among top students, average students, bad students, and even the most bullied students.

Despite being an ordinary person, the charm he exudes is no less than that of Diarmuid's curse. It is precisely this unintentional charm that makes him even more dazzling and attracts a group of Servants.

He is both a model of good people and a savior of bad people.

However, the more beautiful something is, the more destructive it is.

Hall smiled slightly. The more he admired Fujimaru Ritsuka, the more he felt the urge to hone her skills. A burst of inspiration flashed through his mind, and the image of Fujimaru Ritsuka being maliciously killed by the world in Dark Souls appeared in his mind.

Presumably, at that time, her radiant humanity would shine even brighter, until it shook the fundamental beliefs of Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld.

Hall casually asked, "Ritsuka, your presence at Chaldea means that the Fourth Singularity has already been resolved."

“V!” Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a victory sign with a bright smile: “Although it was not easy, the magic tricks that you taught me came in handy. By the way, where have you been all this time? I asked the director and Da Vinci, but they both said they didn’t know. I have a lot of questions to ask you.”

"I'm temporarily leaving Chaldea because of some personal matters. If you come to the Seventh Special Zone, you can meet me," Hall said playfully.

Dr. Roman smiled wryly: "Hall, although Ritsuka solved a few singularities by luck, she is not qualified to go to the seventh singularity yet. The foundation value of humanity there is too high and too abnormal. It is better to solve the singularities with lower foundation values ​​first based on the value of humanity foundation value."

Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke up enthusiastically, "I understand. I won't ask any more questions. I have completely mastered the magic lessons assigned by the teacher in the past few months. If possible, please teach me more magic tricks."

Hall instructed Roman, "Roman, could you please give me a copy of Ritsuka's medical examination report?"

Dr. Roman nodded: "Ritsuka had a physical examination when she came back. I can send it to you anytime if you need it."

"Now."

Another projection appeared in front of Hall, recording Fujimaru Ritsuka's physical condition, including, of course, her magic circuits.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, like Emiya Shirou, is a first-generation magician, meaning she has no magic crest inheritance and no magician bloodline.

Unlike Shirou Emiya, Ritsuka Fujimaru's magical talent is very mediocre.

In the past, the magic lessons that Hall assigned to Fujimaru Ritsuka were basically the basic skills that a Master must master.

Curse removal, magic exchange, enhancement magic, defensive magic, and the like.

One update today!

Take a break.

I won't say that it's mainly because I've been eating too much gossip about the game Punishing: Gray Raven today.

That's a brilliant plan.

The game itself is of pretty good quality, and I've been looking forward to it for quite some time.

The result was suicide at the start.

Chapter 422 Necessary Sacrifice

Chaldea has never lacked good teachers, such as Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most outstanding geniuses in human history and a man of many talents.

However, in the field of magic, Fujimaru Ritsuka is definitely not a good student.

Ritsuka occasionally learns magic from Leonardo da Vinci or other Servants, but her efficiency is never very high. However, everything she learns from Hall is not only useful, but also incredibly efficient.

Leonardo da Vinci was a polymath, proficient in everything, but he could not be said to have achieved perfection in anything.

Hall is now arguably one of the magicians closest to the Magic King Solomon. He has used alchemy to investigate the quality, quantity, attributes, and soul origin of Fujimaru Ritsuka's magic circuits, and knows more about Fujimaru Ritsuka's body than Chaldea does.

It is worth mentioning that there is indeed a peculiar power within Fujimaru Ritsuka's body, which Hall speculates is related to her immunity to highly toxic substances.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's wish is to return to a normal life; she has no desire to explore magic. At the same time, she needs to assist Servants in battle, so the magic suitable for her to learn should be selected based on this premise.

The most crucial point is actually the basics. Her magic talent is mediocre, and Fujimaru Ritsuka has almost never been exposed to magic before.

This is also a major reason why Leonardo da Vinci and his Servants were unable to teach her well. Every Servant was a gifted individual who simply did not understand the thoughts of an ordinary layman.

When Hall first transmigrated into the body of Matou Shinji, he was also an ordinary person with mediocre talent, even worse than Fujimaru Ritsuka, and he didn't even have the qualifications to become a magician.

For a time, Hall greedily absorbed the knowledge from the magic books collected by the Matou family, laying the foundation for becoming a magician.

Therefore, Hall can understand Fujimaru Ritsuka's predicament.

The physical examination report of Fujimaru Ritsuka from Chaldea is very complete, and even describes her recent progress in magic.

According to the report, in just a few months, Fujimaru Ritsuka went from a complete novice to a disqualified Master who couldn't even be considered passable.

He's even worse than Waver Velvet, who was a half-baked participant in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Dr. Roman kindly explained to Hall: "Ritsuka has mastered some defensive magic and learned to use magic to strengthen Servants, which can remove minor curses."

“Insufficient abilities can be addressed with Chaldea’s support. While Ritsuka may not be an excellent Master in terms of magic, she excels in judging timing and commanding Servants in battle. I believe we should make better use of these strengths.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka had already left Chaldea's control room, and now only Hall and Dr. Roman were discussing how to train Fujimaru Ritsuka's magical skills.

Hall looked away from Fujimaru Ritsuka's physical report and said meaningfully, "As expected of you, Roman. I agree with you. Ritsuka's development should focus on supporting Servants."

Dr. Roman scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed, and chuckled: "After all, I am her attending physician. I know nothing about magic, so I can only leave it to you. Do your best to help Ritsuka grow into a qualified Master."

Solomon the Magician: I know absolutely nothing about magic.

Hall was inwardly both amused and exasperated, but he didn't expose him. In fact, Dr. Roman's identity was not a secret to some of the followers or gods. The Lion King, the first Hassan, Merlin, and King Gilgamesh should all know his true identity.

The reason why most Servants dislike Roman is that they vaguely sense that he is related to the burning of humanity.

With nothing to do during the day, Hall decided to write a book for Fujimaru Ritsuka titled "Master: From Basics to Beginner".

"The direction of development is clear."

"So···"

"Command Seals are a good starting point."
