Type-Moon: Shinji Matou Also Wants to Be the Protagonist

One is the ability to help followers awaken supernatural powers, which are generally consistent with those of the ruler.

The other is the Sanctuary, which enhances the abilities of oneself and one's followers. The more followers one has in the Sanctuary, the stronger the enhancement effect.

In theory, as long as there are enough followers, the enhanced Sanctuary can even withstand a nuclear bomb.

Of course, that was under the condition of having unlimited energy support from the Dresden Slab, and the King probably had already lost control before the enhancement reached that level.

Without external energy support, Shinji's current level of mental strength is only enough to cover himself with the Sanctuary and use it as an enhancement magic.

However, Odin previously mentioned that this thing was still a work in progress, so he should have a solution.

Ah, that damned Odin, just thinking about him makes Shinji feel a dull ache all over his body again.

Finally, here's the main purpose of this trip to Wanshou Square—to loot... no, to inherit the estate!

The original plan was to briefly review the deceased's life story when the orb exploded, and then actively capture the desired soul fragments. However, Shinji was still groaning and pretending to be a maggot on the ground at the time, so in the end, he could only rely on luck.

Fortunately, Shinji was lucky; although he didn't win the grand prize, he still won a third prize.

The deceased counterpart has traveled to an ancient martial arts world.

The Legend of Jiang Yuyan, The List of Survivors, and Little Fish and Flower Without Flaws.

When talking about this world, the first things that come to mind for Shinji are the two peerless martial arts, Mingyu Gong and Jiayi Shen Gong.

This brother thought so too, but unfortunately both of the divine skills already had owners, and both of them were renowned figures in the martial arts world.

My friend had no choice but to settle for second best and go find the Five Ultimate Divine Skills.

What followed was a series of heartbreaking ancient survival stories.

Food, clothing, difficult transportation, dangerous wilderness, and unpredictable human nature—everything was difficult to adapt to.

Fortunately, my brother's years of education have had some effect.

Finally, after overcoming numerous difficulties and obstacles, they managed to obtain the Five Ultimate Skills and mastered a reasonably good set of skills.

Then came the journey through the world, making friends, and scheming.

I finally got my hands on the Wedding Dress Divine Skill and the Bright Jade Skill, satisfying my collecting desires. I'm so happy!

Then the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. He suddenly fell ill and could not be cured by any famous doctors he sought. In the end, he died.

After seeing this person's situation, Shinji was even considering whether he should study medicine.

In this brother's life, which may or may not be considered exciting, Shinji touched a small part of the turning point in his life.

Five Ultimate Skills...Development Log!

That's right, the Five Ultimate Divine Skill wasn't something that existed from the beginning. It was developed by a contemporary hero named Ouyang Ting, who invited five peerless masters who were at the pinnacle of the martial arts world at the time to work together with painstaking effort.

Shinji didn't get the finished product, but instead received a draft paper recording the brainstorming of several outstanding individuals.

This thing is probably even more valuable than the finished product.

Chapter 8: Grandfather's Kindness and Grandson's Filial Piety

After summarizing his findings, Shinji needed to consider his future.

After coming into this world and learning his identity, Shinji began to consider his life.

Shinji Matou's identity has both good and bad aspects.

Despite living in a world with extraordinary abilities and being born into a family of magicians, he simply lacked the talent to become a magician.

Because Matou Zouken pursued immortality, he neglected the upbringing of his offspring.

The bloodline of the Machiri family had become extremely thin by the previous generation, and by Shinji's time, it had degenerated to the level of an ordinary person.

The lack of a magic circuit is a disadvantage.

But aside from lacking the talent of a magician, Shinji is an absolute genius.

He is top-notch in both intelligence and physical ability; he could live very comfortably among ordinary people.

Before discovering the cheat code, Shinji was already prepared to enjoy life.

But now that his cheat code is so powerful, Shinji naturally needs to adjust his future plans.

The first thing to consider is Odin's order – the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid.

The closest Shinji has to obtain information about this Mystic Code is the upcoming Fourth Holy Grail War.

In this Holy Grail War, Kenneth will participate as one of the Masters, and in the end, he will die on this land.

This is Shinji's chance; only in the midst of a chaotic battle can Shinji have the opportunity to slack off.

Shinji always knew when the Fourth Holy Grail War would begin.

After all, Matou Sakura had already joined this family and become his nominal younger sister.

His uncle, Matou Kariya, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, had been home for half a year and was currently undergoing a transformation by Matou Zouken.

Shinji sympathizes with Matou Sakura and Matou Kariya, but he has no power and can do nothing about it.

He noticed Matou Sakura's increasingly empty gaze and Matou Kariya's increasingly distorted body.

Shinji could only force himself to turn a blind eye as much as possible.

This is the second thing Shinji wants to do; he has long disliked Zouken Matou.

We should take advantage of this Holy Grail War to find a good opportunity to eliminate him.

However, Shinji still needs to remain dormant for now.

After all, no matter how well you plan, you can't ignore the disadvantage of his age.

He's only 6 years old now, and he'll be 7 when the Holy Grail War begins.

Speaking of which, his father seems to be planning to send him abroad to study recently, which seems to be an opportunity for him to leave home.

Perhaps the sound of Bismarck's scissors striking his target still echoed in his mind, but Shinji felt that his drive was now terrifyingly strong.

"Grandpa, Dad is sending me abroad to study in a few days. Can I take these books with me?"

The next morning, Shinji excitedly found Zouken Matou and asked him about the magical books in the study.

Although he would reveal his inhuman demonic nature when facing Kariya Matou, Zouken Matou was willing to pretend when facing the young Shinji. Hearing Shinji's words, Zouken replied with a kind expression:

"Hehe, of course you can. It's rare to have someone in the family who's interested in these things. You can bring as many books as you want."

"Yay! Thank you, Grandpa!"

Although Shinji sensed a hidden meaning in Zouken Matou's words, he didn't dwell on it since it wasn't him who was the cricket.

With a cheer befitting her character, she immediately rushed to the bookshelf and began selecting the books she wanted.

More than a year ago, Shinji had already been secretly reading the books on magic in the study.

Shinji knew, of course, that he couldn't hide it from Zouken Matou, but he was also certain that Zouken wouldn't stop him.

Even judging from the fact that Shinji was always able to find advanced teaching materials that matched his current level in the later episodes, Zouken Matou was quite supportive.

After making a show of selecting a few introductory books, Shinji couldn't wait to reach for the high-end ones.

Even though the high-end items Shinji chose were clearly beyond his current level of knowledge, and even contained some dangerous information that was obviously unsuitable for children, Zouken Matou did not say anything to stop him.

Rather, this is exactly what he wanted to see.

The more Shinji yearns for this knowledge now, the more interesting his expression will be when he realizes he doesn't have the talent of a magician.

With such twisted expectations, Zouken Matou gazed kindly at Shinji, who was holding a book of magic and whose eyes were shining.

After carefully selecting a large number of lengthy books, Shinji finally turned around with satisfaction.

But seeing the pile of books behind him that was even taller than himself, he looked embarrassed and said awkwardly:

"Grandpa, isn't this too much?"

Hearing Shinji's words, Zouken Matou patted Shinji's head and comforted him with a look of relief:

"How could that be? Grandpa is overjoyed that Shinji is willing to inherit the family's knowledge. But you should also take care of your health while studying hard."

Seeing that Zouken Matou wasn't angry, Shinji cheered up again, patted his chest, and proudly assured him:

"Yes, don't worry, Grandpa, I will definitely become an excellent successor!"

"Okay, okay, go play now. Your dad will pack up these books for you later."

Shinji's assurance put Zouken Matou in a good mood, and he readily assigned the task of tidying up the study to his eldest son.

Then he dismissed Shinji, whose eyes were darting around again, and left.

Although the truly precious secret manuals and rare collectibles are not kept in the study, even the most ordinary magic books still require money to purchase.

There's no need to invest too much resources in just piquing your grandson's interest and putting on a good show for yourself.

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa!"

Shinji, being tactful, took his leave and, as he left the study, discovered that Sakura was already waiting at the door.

The girl's lifeless, doll-like face and her hair, which was gradually changing color, fueled Shinji's anger.

This anger had been burning since he realized his identity, and it was ignited by the arrival of Matou Sakura. The presence of Matou Kariya added fuel to the fire. This anger was not directed at these two poor people.

It exists because of Zouken Matou and Shinji himself, and is angry at Zouken Matou's beastly behavior and at its own inadequacy.

It has been around for so long that Shinji has learned to pretend it doesn't exist.

To maintain his public persona, Shinji took the opportunity to extend an invitation to Sakura:

"Sakura, do you want to come play with us?"

"No, Grandpa has something else to discuss with me."

Faced with Shinji's invitation, Matou Sakura's expression remained unchanged, and she responded woodenly.

"Sigh~, let's play together again next time."

Upon hearing Sakura's reply, Shinji shrugged regretfully, then slipped past her and ran off in a flash.

At the entrance to the study, Zouken Matou, who had witnessed the interaction between the two children, watched Shinji's departing figure.

With great interest, he asked Sakura:

"Hmph, what a good older brother, isn't he, Sakura?"

"..."

Sakura instinctively tensed her body and remained silent.

Unperturbed by the lack of a reply, Zouken Matou turned and stepped into the shadows behind him, saying cheerfully:

"It's time for today's homework, let's go."

Sakura's body trembled, and her lifeless eyes rippled, but she still followed closely behind.

Chapter 9: Ryunosuke Uryu

As the sound of the door shattering rang out, Ryunosuke Uryu, who was resting at home, was stunned as a group of burly men who broke into his house tackled him to the ground. Before he could say anything, a wet towel was covered to his mouth and nose.

"Boss, the target has been suppressed. What's the next step?"

After confirming that Ryunosuke Uryu had completely lost consciousness, the burly man in the lead made a phone call to his employer.

The voice on the other end of the phone was far too young:

"Pack up everything in his house that is related to books, along with his suitcase, and then take him to the designated location."

The other party hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and the leader didn't seem to mind.

Since it's all about getting paid to do things, as long as the funds are in place, a slightly less attentive attitude doesn't really matter.

Upon receiving the instructions, the group quickly packed up the items the employer wanted and swiftly left the scene of the crime.

When the patrolling police arrived after hearing the commotion, all that was left was a mess.

The location specified by the employer is in a newly developed residential area on the east side of the city, and the target is a van parked in an alley.

Once they've taken the cash from the car and dumped the belongings and people inside, their mission is complete.

After the burly men left, the van slowly drove away, taking a winding and strange route.

The van drove into the house-by-house construction site.

Only after the garage door was completely closed did a figure jump out of the driver's seat.

After removing his disguise, he was a short man, about 1.3 meters tall, with a bluish-purple kelp-like hairstyle.
