Shirou Emiya is determined to kill all the cursed spirits and evil spirits

However, her technique is based on her own magical power, constructing matter from scratch, so the consumption of magical power is very intense.

As for the young man in front of him... the construction of this short sword did not seem to have much influence on him, which means that his technique still has great potential to be developed.

This would be very troublesome.

If he could just pretend not to see the Yin-Yang eyes and let the child continue to enjoy his ordinary life, but this would not be the case with a sorcerer who has already awakened and even possesses a new technique.

Fortunately, he met the other party first, otherwise, if he was met by a curse master or a powerful curse spirit first, the scene would probably not be so harmonious.

But before that, Nanami Kento still has something to ask——

"Even I can't leave a sorcerer who has awakened the [Life Technique] alone."

"So, are you willing to fight for your life, young man?"

Nanami Kento knew that if such a question was asked rashly, most people would subconsciously answer in the negative.

Even if possible, he didn't want more people to become sorcerers.

Although he was born in a peaceful era, he still had to risk his life in battle. He even caused his colleagues to die due to intelligence errors.

In this shitty industry, sacrifice is the norm.

"If I refuse, will I not have to fight that evil spirit?"

Emiya chose to ask this question.

"Yes, I will do my best to arrange you in a logistical position so that you don't have to fight."

"I have always believed that no matter how bad the situation is in this country and society, it is not yet to the point where children have to risk their lives."

"If it ever comes to that, humanity will probably be doomed."

It doesn’t matter if he says such discouraging words, because these are the true thoughts in Nanami Ken’s heart.

This was the first time Emiya Shirou had met someone like this.

Although he didn't say he had any lofty ideals, he still firmly held on to his own ideas - he believed that as a sorcerer, he should protect humans, and as an adult, he should stand before children.

But there is no big reason for all this, it's just that.

"So what's the reason for fighting?" Emiya asked.

After making a wish for Miyu's happiness, Shirou Emiya has actually lost the reason to continue fighting.

The self who wanted to be a 'partner of justice' had long been abandoned by him, and the only person close to him had also embarked on the path of pursuing happiness. All that was left was the body of Shirou Emiya.

He still has a pure and kind heart, but this is not a reason for him to fight blindly.

Maybe not everything needs a reason, but this is the exception.

Something that Nanami Kento didn't expect finally happened. He never thought that Emiya would ask such a question.

Whether asking about the treatment of sorcerers or thinking about the dangers of sorcerers, it's all good... However, he never thought that anyone would ask him this.

That’s right, a reason to fight, this is something every sorcerer should have, but even they themselves are not clear about it.

But this does not include Kento Nanami.

"In Japan, over 50,000 people go missing or die every year, and most of them are caused by cursed spirits."

"The mission of a sorcerer is to eliminate cursed spirits in order to maintain social peace and protect humanity."

"but."

"I think that reason is bullshit!"

Nanami Kento just said something as a matter of course that seemed rebellious to others.

"Society will continue to function without anyone, and the world of spellcasting will not fall apart because of someone's departure...but!"

“If a bakery clerk dies, people will be troubled because they can’t eat bread; if a bus driver dies, children won’t be able to go to school on time; if a father dies, his wife and children will be heartbroken…”

"So, this is why I became a sorcerer and fought."

Nanami Kento doesn't feel ashamed because such a reason is not noble enough, because fantasizing that he is the center of the world is something only children would do.

"So, young man, tell me, do you want to become a sorcerer?"

This sentence still did not contain any coercion, it was just a question.

If Emiya chose to refuse, he would never force it.

Compared to any grand ideas, it was these words that touched Emiya more, because he remembered the dream he had last night and what the Heroic Spirit Emiya said.

I don't dream of a world without conflict, I just hope that in the world I know, no one will cry anymore.

Is this so...

It's not for some lofty ideal like justice, it's just a refusal to see the sadness of the person in front of me.

Emiya Shirou finally made up his mind and nodded.

"Yes, I'm willing to fight for it."

Volume 1: Chapter 9 You are now a fourth-level sorcerer

If he saw someone crying in front of him, could Shirou Emiya turn a deaf ear and pretend not to see it?

Without a doubt, the answer is obviously no.

Even though he thought he had no chance of being a righteous partner or saving the world, Shirou Emiya was absolutely unwilling to abandon his bottom line and become such a cold-hearted person.

That's why Shirou Emiya accepted the other party's invitation to join the sorcerer, not only to find a possibility of returning, but also to do something within his ability.

"very good."

Nanami Kento was not excited by Emiya's answer. He suddenly seemed to regret something and began to give an admonition in a cryptic tone.

"Actually, operating as an amateur sorcerer is a good option. There's no need to venture too deeply into dangerous areas, and you can also receive advance notice if a disaster occurs there."

"Whether you want to delve into the profession of a sorcerer or not, you will make your own judgment after you have been exposed to it for a period of time."

"When the time comes, even if you want to survive as an ordinary person, it's fine. You just need to learn to control your cursed energy and hide it."

Nanami Kento didn't say anything at all, like if you have such power you must take responsibility.

Because he knows that this is just a bullshit logic used by the upper class to kidnap you.

"If you feel that you have enough knowledge about the world of spells and want to go further, I can be your recommendation for admission to the technical college."

"College?"

This sounds like a kind of uneducated beauty.

"Tokyo Metropolitan College of Spells, also known as the Spells College. It's one of only two schools in Japan that specializes in spells. While it cultivates talent, it also serves as an institution that accepts commissions as sorcerers and exterminates cursed spirits."

Without training and trials, it is impossible to become a qualified sorcerer.

In order to contrast with the sorcery families that rely on bloodline inheritance, schools that focus on training sorcerers have emerged in modern times, allowing ordinary people who awaken accidentally to become independent sorcerers rather than being consumables of the sorcery families.

To Shirou Emiya, this seems a bit like a clock tower in another world?

However, the academy here at least puts the elimination of the cursed spirits first, unlike the Clock Tower, which still uses bloodline as an argument and believes that it is independent of the world.

From this point of view, the Jujutsu High School is far ahead of them.

"I see... Mr. Nanami, I will seriously consider your suggestion."

At least from Emiya's perspective now, Nanami Kento in front of him is a very good person.

It is remarkable that such a person can fulfill his duties wholeheartedly.

"However, since things like cursed spirits keep appearing one after another, and casualties can't be completely suppressed... then shouldn't the more cursers there are, the better?"

There was something else that Emiya couldn't understand.

If he is a high-ranking figure in the world of sorcery, and sorcerers do not actually value innate [magic circuits] as much as magicians do, then high-end combat power cannot be mass-produced, but ordinary sorcerers should still be easy to produce, right?

"How do you explain this?"

Nanami Kento thought about it and gave a reply:

"Because the world is far from being destroyed due to a shortage of sorcerers."

Because that man is still there, the cursed spirits can't do it no matter what.

"Furthermore, as long as humans exist, as long as people still have negative emotions, unconscious curse power will continue to overflow and accumulate, giving birth to new curse spirits."

"Things like [All the Evil in This World], where everyone can be happy just by defeating them, don't exist in the real world."

That’s right, reality is not a fairy tale. One decision alone will not lead everyone to a happy ending.

"If there's no problem, I'll help you register as a sorcerer now."

Just when Emiya thought he would inevitably have to undergo a series of investigations and tests, Nanami Kento simply picked up his phone, made a call, and then issued a verdict to him—

"You are now a fourth-level sorcerer."

"...ha?"

Emiya found it difficult to understand.

It would be fine if there was no need for an examination, but are they just going to directly recruit people into the organization without even a simple ability test?

Is this really a formal official organization, rather than a shameful underground killer group?

The reason why the cursed spirits are so rampant has probably been found.

"That's right. Since you're still just a private sorcerer, even at the lowest level four... you won't receive any difficult missions, and you can still get a little understanding of the world of sorcery. It's just right for you."

"But after seeing this, you should have understood it now..."

Nanami Kento stood up straight, gently pushed up his glasses, and righteously explained to Emiya his views and experience as a senior.

"Spellcasters are shit!"

"......ha??"

--------

Some time later, Emiya and Yotsuya Miko were summarizing their actions in the familiar MDL store.

"So, now, Emiya-san, you're a sorcerer specializing in removing cursed spirits?"

"Yes."

"Not only do I not have to report to their headquarters, but I also have the right to judge whether I can carry out the tasks issued by the higher-ups?"

"Yes."

"And most importantly, the salary is a full 300,000 yen?!"

"Yes."

"..."

Yotsuya Miko, whose monthly pocket money was only 10,000 yen, fell silent.

She turned her head to look at a distorted evil spirit not far away, and thought it would be okay for her to fight it.

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, the evil spirit seemed to have noticed her gaze. The moment it turned its head to reveal its true face, she was frightened so much that her whole body straightened up a little.

Mmmmm...

Yotsuya Kenko swallowed his saliva.

Just...joking.

"After all, Yotsuya-kun is rather timid and probably not suited to facing those cursed spirits directly."

While concentrating on finishing the food in front of him, Emiya spoke to the other person with a stiff expression.

"Who told you that! I'm not that scared actually, it's just that these guys always show up when I least expect them, even when I'm showering..."

After being rebuked, Yotsuya Miko subconsciously wanted to refute, but later she realized that her words seemed to be wrong. Her voice gradually became smaller and her cheeks became red.

But Emiya on the opposite side didn't notice anything. When he found that the sound stopped, he stopped and looked at the other party in confusion.

"What's wrong, Yotsuya-san?"

Your face is red, are you sick?

"..."

"Baka!"
