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

He was no longer as distraught as before, and instead took the initiative to follow Shinji's footsteps.

Although his magic skills are not particularly strong, he can still use simple detection magic.

With the help of magic, they quickly cleared away the ruins where there were no signs of life.

"There's a life signal there!"

It wasn't long before the location of the survivors was found, and Weber's face immediately lit up with an excited smile.

Shinji glanced at him, a slight, almost imperceptible smile playing on his lips.

The [Snail Annihilation City Text] returned to the Throne of Heroes as the Servants collectively left the stage.

The Three-Based Magic Furnace has been completely disintegrated, leaving only the most durable raw materials.

Even the experimental weapon, the Magic Hand, melted due to previous overload.

Shinji himself has temporarily lost the ability to perform magic.

Fortunately, there is still Goredia.

With her extraordinary physical abilities, Goredia was even more efficient than construction machinery in clearing and moving heavy chunks of building rubble.

The first survivor they rescued was a young woman trapped under a heavy slab of concrete.

Weber did not hesitate at all after Greta removed the floorboard.

He immediately bent down and began to perform healing magic, focusing intently on treating the woman's injuries.

Thanks to timely treatment, the woman's vital signs quickly stabilized, and she was pulled back from the brink of death.

Seeing that the situation was improving, Weber stopped the treatment in time.

He knew very well that his magical reserves were limited.

Even with potions that can restore magic power, there is a limit to the total amount of magic power that can be used in a short period of time.

Therefore, magic must be used sparingly and cannot be poured all at once onto one person.

Instead, resources should be allocated as reasonably as possible to save as many lives as possible.

With this first successful survivor, Weber's spirits were lifted, as if he had been given a shot of adrenaline.

After securing the injured to safety, they immediately resumed their intense search for the next sign of life.

Goredia continued to clear obstacles and open passages.

Shinji Matou was also doing his best to assist.

Each of the three performed their duties, and their cooperation became increasingly smooth and seamless during the rescue operation.

By the time the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, both Webber and Shinji were exhausted.

Fortunately, the survivors in the city gradually restored order, and rescue personnel from the national government also arrived at the scene.

With so many people around and so many eyes watching, it's no longer appropriate to continue using extraordinary methods so openly.

After resting for a while, Grace carried Waver on her shoulders, held Shinji in her arms, and quietly set off on her way home.

Chapter 105: Visions for the Future

Because magic was involved in the cause of the disaster, the Magic Association and the Church of Christ reacted swiftly.

With the involvement of these two behemoths, the country's government administrative efficiency miraculously increased.

Within just one or two days, material assistance from all sectors had been delivered.

Amidst the ruins of Fuyuki City, people dressed in uniform rescue gear can already be seen busily moving about.

Temporary shelters have been set up, and survivors rescued from the ruins have been transferred here one after another.

Clean drinking water, warm tents, and first-aid medicines were all neatly arranged.

Basic living needs were quickly met.

The priests of the Holy Church were busy calming the survivors, while the investigators of the Mage's Association discreetly patrolled the outskirts of the city, clearing away excess magic stirred up by the aftermath of the battle and erasing the memories of ordinary people who had witnessed supernatural powers.

Order is being restored to the entire disaster-stricken city at a visible speed.

In a special resettlement site on the outskirts of the city, Weber held a bowl of hot instant noodles, his eyes still somewhat glazed over.

He searched the rubble all night yesterday and rescued twenty-seven survivors.

Even though I'm so tired that I don't even want to move my fingers, I feel inexplicably more at ease.

It's no longer just the emptiness of losing Iskandar.

Shinji leaned against a tent pole, flipping through the documents that the magicians from the Magic Association had just sent over.

As participants in this Holy Grail War, Shinji and Waver's information was synchronized into the Holy Church's database.

Therefore, they cannot escape the scrutiny of the Holy Church and the Magic Association.

Not only them, but even Matou Kariya was "invited" over, since he was also a Master.

However, their problems weren't that big of a deal.

Shinji was simply too young, and no magic circuits were detected in his body.

If it weren't for Shinji's family background as a magician, the magician sent by the Mage's Association would probably have treated him like an ordinary person—erasing his memories.

As for Waver, it's because of his experience saving people with his Reality Marble alongside Iskandar during the final period of his life.

After the incident was confirmed through the memories of the rescued individuals, Weber's suspicions were largely cleared.

As for Matou Kariya, his body, riddled with wounds, makes it hard to associate him with the image of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Finally, there's Emiya Kiritsugu!

He was registered with the Magic Association, so he had already hidden himself before the people from the Magic Association arrived.

The review process went much faster than expected.

Because right at the start of the investigation, Shinji and Waver exposed the collusion between Tokiomi Tohsaka and the Kotomine father and son.

Furthermore, the source of this disaster was traced back to the ritual magic set up by Kirei Kotomine.

Although the ritual site was once submerged in the black mud of the Holy Grail, the Magic Association and the Holy Church could easily determine the specific purpose of the ritual.

Based on the residual magical characteristics, it is even possible to find out exactly who constructed and initiated the ritual.

This completely changed the nature of the matter.

The tension between the Magic Association and the Holy Church has been building for a long time, with both sides wishing the other would just explode on the spot.

If this disaster was caused by the Holy Grail War ritual, then the Church will certainly not let it go.

The Magic Association will have to pay a huge price to resolve this incident.

As for Shinji and Waver, the Masters who are involved, they certainly won't have an easy time either.

But since the culprits of this matter are the people of the Holy Church, the Magic Association is determined to make an example of them.

Although Tokiomi Tohsaka's involvement with the Mage Association played a role, according to the investigation, Tokiomi Tohsaka died from a backstab.

The murderer was a member of the Holy Church!

This led to the Magic Association and the Church of England not taking the investigation into the incident very seriously.

Most of their energy was spent arguing with the other side.

As for Shinji and the others, they are no longer important.

As for the most important Holy Grail and the evil of this world, they were also concealed during this chaos.

What are your plans for the future?

With nothing else to do, Shinji asked Weber about his future plans.

Upon hearing Shinji's words, Weber hesitated for a moment before saying somewhat embarrassedly:

"I... want to go and see the places where Rider fought before he died!"

"Those places are not safe!"

Iskandar fought in the Middle East, a region that is often a war zone.

"I'm not going right away; I'll definitely need to prepare before I go."

Seeing Shinji's disapproving look, Weber immediately waved his hands and quickly explained to Shinji.

Although he had an idea, Weber was well aware of his own limitations.

The lesson learned from this reckless intrusion into the Holy Grail War has been profound enough.

"Besides, your basic courses haven't finished yet. Since I've already agreed to be your teacher, I have to be responsible for you—and you definitely don't want to go to the Clock Tower anytime soon, right?"

Weber also gave a reason why he was not ready to set off for the time being.

As he finished speaking, he unconsciously lowered his voice and even glanced around furtively.

When the people from the Mage's Association discovered that Shinji had no magic circuits.

Weber was greatly surprised, because he had seen Shinji use magic himself more than once.

It doesn't seem like it doesn't have a magic circuit.

However, Weber was quite astute enough not to show anything unusual when facing outsiders.

He also guessed that Shinji must have a rather dangerous secret.

If the association discovers anything, they might arrest Shinji as a heretic and dissect him for research.

At that point, he, a nobody who has just escaped this disaster, will be completely unable to protect the person in front of him.

Shinji couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at his cautious, wary expression.

Although another person now knows his secret, Shinji still has a lot of confidence in Waver's character after spending time together.

Besides, they have a proper master-disciple relationship.

After Shinji's research yields results, how could he possibly mistreat Weber?

Therefore, whether out of emotion or profit, Weber had no reason to sell Shinji.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Now, no one in the association will specifically investigate a minor.

As long as you don't tell anyone, there won't be any problems.

Weber breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, scratched his head, and then changed the subject back:

"Then, I'll help you build a solid foundation over the next period of time."

"Once you've mastered the basics of magic, it won't be too late for me to head over there."

As he spoke, he clenched the small bag containing the relics of Iskandar in his hand.

His eyes lit up again, a reflection of his hopes for the future and his longing for his idol.

Chapter 106: Tohsaka

The clashes between the Magic Association and the Holy Church are becoming increasingly frequent.

Fortunately, everyone involved was a respectable person, so the intensity of the struggle remained at a level of fighting without breaking apart.

However, these things have nothing to do with Shinji and the others.

These days, Shinji and Weber have had some rare free time, and the previously intermittent classes can continue as normal.

With food and lodging provided, the two seemed determined to stay there forever.

In the end, the staff of the Magic Association couldn't stand these two freeloaders anymore and kicked them out.

Leaving the resettlement site also meant the official end of this investigation.

However, this doesn't mean Shinji can completely relax; on the contrary, he has even more to do.

The Matou family's old house was completely destroyed, but the underground spiritual vein node could not be wasted.

Especially now that the ley lines in Fuyuki City are severely damaged, this ley line node is even more precious.

Therefore, the reconstruction of the Matou family must be put on the agenda.

Considering that the rebuilt house will not only be his future home, but will also serve as a magic workshop and laboratory.

Therefore, he had to be deeply involved in everything from design to construction.
