"Exactly. Something like that must never be exposed to a bunch of lunatics. So why did Uchiha Kanade give Olga Marie a chance? He's seriously underestimated the daughter of the Lord of Celestial Mechanics!" Waver slammed his notebook hard against his thigh in frustration.
Although Higashino Kanade had only been his student for a week, Waver had truly given him the attention a teacher should. He did not want to see Higashino Kanade exposed and designated for sealing by the Clock Tower!
Hang in there, Uchiha Kanade. At least give me all the information on the Fifth Holy Grail War before you die! Waver anxiously cheered Higashino Kanade on in his heart.
"You're all too nervous." Luvia glanced helplessly at Waver and his student, then elegantly pointed at Higashino Kanade's face. "Look, he doesn't seem afraid at all. He must have some trump card we don't know about. There's no need for us to worry blindly."
Only after Luvia's reminder did Waver notice that Higashino Kanade remained completely calm in the face of such powerful Magecraft. He had not even frowned, as if victory was already in his grasp.

Release Message
Honestly, I only made it this far thanks to all the handsome men here.
This is my first time writing a book, so there must be flaws. I'm truly grateful that everyone has stayed with me until now.
This book was mainly meant to tell the story of someone living off women who somehow became the strongest. So far, I don't think I've strayed from that path.
I really like both Hokage and Type-Moon, so writing this book has also fulfilled a dream of mine.
Logically, I should be playing up how miserable I am, but I only have two miserable points: I don't have a girlfriend, and I'm not a rich second-generation kid. I'm sure all you family members here are doing much better than me.
How did that saying go? Love only affects the speed at which I draw my sword. As a proud and aloof writing machine, it's better to keep a pure heart. It's definitely not because I can't find a girlfriend.
Lastly, considering that I'll diligently update on time tomorrow, if you like the story, please subscribe. Toss in your free daily recommendation votes too. The more I earn, the more motivated I'll be, and the more this writing machine will update.
And lastly of all, I wish all my fellow readers good health, endless good luck, and greater beauty with every passing day. Better yet, may you casually pick up money whenever you go out, have a whole crowd of beautiful women or handsome men secretly crushing on you, and be happy every day.
?(^?^*)
PS: After ten o'clock, the story will officially be premium, and updates will begin. I'll make sure you have a great time reading.
Duel (Final)
Higashino Kanade truly was not worried. He had already defeated the demonic beast that could defeat Knight Heine. What was there to fear from a little girl?
Right now, he was merely considering how to win this battle beautifully and gracefully, thereby building some prestige for his Sharingan.
When it came to looking impressive, Ninjutsu had the most presence.
Unfortunately, Luvia had repeatedly warned him never to use Ninjutsu or transform at the Clock Tower. Otherwise, he would definitely be dragged away for dissection or breeding. Therefore, Higashino Kanade could only use Taijutsu and Genjutsu.
Higashino Kanade actually had some reservations about Genjutsu.
The combat abilities of Magi in the Nasuverse might not compare to those of ninjas, but their Magecraft civilization had developed for thousands of years. It was vast and mysterious.
Genjutsu was fundamentally a spiritual attack, and the Nasuverse had not only countless types of spiritual Magecraft, but many powerful ones as well. There might be abilities among them capable of breaking Genjutsu. Higashino Kanade did not dare underestimate a world with such a high ceiling.
Higashino Kanade's Genjutsu skills could only be considered second-rate. Yuhi Kurenai could beat him by miles.
Therefore, ever since arriving in this world, Higashino Kanade had not dared use Genjutsu casually against Magi. He feared that an enemy might break it during battle and turn the tables on him. But right now was an excellent opportunity to use Genjutsu.
Olga Marie was still chanting. If Higashino Kanade hit her with Genjutsu, even if it could not control her for long, interrupting her chant would still be worthwhile. No matter how he looked at it, this was a guaranteed profit.
Higashino Kanade rapidly formed several hand seals. The two black tomoe in his Sharingan began to turn.
Since Genjutsu was far more concealed than Ninjutsu and nearly impossible for others to detect, Higashino Kanade boldly used it.
Illusion Technique: Naraka Perception!
Empowered by the Sharingan, the Genjutsu directly struck Olga Marie as she chanted.
Olga Marie froze at first. Then, as if she had seen some terrifying monster, her expression twisted into extreme fear.
"Ahhhhh—"
The next moment, Olga Marie collapsed into a crouch on the ground. Tears poured from her eyes like a breached dam, her body shook violently in terror, and she muttered, "Don't abandon me! Don't kill me! I haven't disgraced the family's honor! I can do it! I have value!"
Naraka Perception was a standard Genjutsu that made opponents see the most terrifying scenes in their hearts. Both Kakashi and Orochimaru had used this technique.
Olga Marie had taken a direct hit from Genjutsu enhanced by the Sharingan. Although Higashino Kanade did not know what she had seen, the effect was outstanding. It also proved that Genjutsu was indeed effective against Magi.
The massive magic circle covering the sky collapsed, along with Olga Marie's defensive barrier.
After suffering such a tremendous mental shock, Olga Marie could no longer continue casting Magecraft. She could not even keep fighting.
The sound of dripping water reached Higashino Kanade's ears, followed by a strange smell spreading through the air.
Higashino Kanade suddenly had a bad feeling. He immediately looked beneath Olga Marie and, sure enough, found a small steaming puddle there.
Did I go too far?
He had frightened a little girl to this extent. Even Higashino Kanade, who had always been ruthless and cold-blooded, could not bear to watch.
To be honest, Olga Marie and Higashino Kanade had no real grudge against each other. He had only fought this battle to help Luvia and make a name for his Sharingan. He had never intended to turn the dear Director into the laughingstock of the entire Clock Tower.
Before too many people noticed that Olga Marie had wet herself, Higashino Kanade threw out four Smoke Bombs and shrouded the entire arena.
Under the cover of smoke, Higashino Kanade quickly ran to Olga Marie, scooped up her still-trapped body in a princess carry, and rushed into the entrance she had used earlier.
At that moment, Olga Marie resembled a doll that had been thoroughly broken. Her eyes were dull and lifeless, and her face was filled with despair. Yet because of her loss of control, her body was burning hot, her beautiful face flushed crimson, giving her an unexpectedly seductive appearance.
The entrance to the arena connected to a lounge.
Higashino Kanade laid Olga Marie flat on a chair in the lounge, intending to release her from the Genjutsu first.
"Marie!"
An anxious figure rushed into the lounge. Upon seeing Higashino Kanade, she immediately threatened him with Magecraft.
"Get away from Marie right now! Otherwise, I'll report this to Lord Animusphere and have him deal with you personally!"
Magecraft gleamed in the hand of Olga Marie's personal secretary, Theresa. Higashino Kanade's Sharingan could see the powerful Mana contained within it. This was a spell capable of blowing the entire lounge apart in one strike.
"Fine, fine! I'll leave her to you. Do whatever you need to do."
Higashino Kanade raised both hands and retreated several steps. He looked helpless, but he was also curious how Theresa would deal with Olga Marie, who was trapped in Genjutsu.
The Magecraft in Theresa's hand did not dissipate. She kept a wary eye on Higashino Kanade in the corner as she moved toward Olga Marie step by step.
"Ah! This..."
When Theresa got closer and took a look, she could no longer maintain her calm expression. A blush involuntarily appeared on her mature, beautiful face.
Theresa had seen Olga Marie's soaked underwear. Thinking of Higashino Kanade suddenly throwing Smoke Bombs during the duel, she had already guessed most of what had happened.
Theresa took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Then she gave Higashino Kanade a dignified bow.
"Thank you for everything you did for Marie. I wrongly blamed you."
Theresa pushed up her glasses and said with shame and embarrassment, "If the audience had seen what happened to Marie, not only would the Animusphere Family have become a laughingstock in the Magecraft world, but Marie, with her strong pride, would have been scarred for life. I thought you were merely a lackey of the Edelfelt Family, as despicable as that little hyena, but it seems you are still a noble Magus. I thank you on Marie's behalf for what you did."
Theresa was not as overbearing and unreasonable as ordinary nobles. Instead, she clearly distinguished gratitude from grievances. It was obvious that she was a well-bred person. There was a reason Lord Animusphere had placed her by his daughter's side.
"No need to thank me. I just didn't want things to get worse. Also, the Marie you mentioned was hit by my Genjutsu, a spiritual Magecraft attack. Hurry and help her break it. If it lasts too long, she'll collapse." Higashino Kanade shook his head indifferently, curious about how Magi in this world would break a spiritual attack.
"So that's it. No wonder Marie suddenly collapsed. It looks like I'll have to make her carry a Magecraft tool capable of interfering with Mystic Eyes next time."
Theresa nodded, then took out a small bottle filled with green liquid from her pocket and dripped a single drop into Olga Marie's mouth.
Noticing Higashino Kanade's curious gaze, Theresa explained, "This is a top-grade elixir. It can heal all wounds, including spiritual Magecraft attacks like this."
As soon as Theresa finished speaking, Olga Marie's terrified expression returned to normal. She did not wake up. Instead, she fell into a deep sleep, peaceful as a child sleeping in her mother's arms.

Doubts!
"Genjutsu was broken just like that?"
Watching Olga Marie sleep so peacefully, Higashino Kanade scratched his head in confusion.
Although Higashino Kanade's Genjutsu skills were only second-rate, it had still been enhanced by the Sharingan. Yet Olga Marie had regained her senses after her secretary merely fed her some medicine. As expected, he could not underestimate this world's Magecraft foundation.
Higashino Kanade silently decided that when fighting Magi in the future, he had to use Genjutsu carefully. Only after obtaining advanced Genjutsu like Tsukuyomi or Kotoamatsukami could he afford to be reckless.
"Leave me a way to contact you. Miss Olga lost to me, so she owes me a promise," Higashino Kanade said.
"Of course. The Animusphere Family is not a family that breaks its word. Since Marie lost to you, she naturally has to accept the punishment she deserves."
Theresa took out a small notebook she carried with her, wrote down a string of phone numbers, tore out the page, and handed it to Higashino Kanade.
"I only have one request. My Marie is only twelve this year. Don't do anything strange to her, or you will definitely be hunted down by Lord Animusphere."
"Something strange?"
Higashino Kanade froze. Theresa said seriously, "Of course, I mean things between men and women!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Higashino Kanade nearly choked on his saliva. Why was this secretary looking at him through such lewd glasses?
He was only twelve years old! Even if he wanted to do embarrassing things, he was willing but powerless!
"...Of course not. I'm not an idiot. I'll still give the Lord his due respect. I only want to fulfill a wish I had before." Higashino Kanade forced himself to calm down.
A female secretary seriously talking dirty was really hilarious!
"Mm, I trust that you're not as morally depraved as the bitch from the Edelfelt Family." Theresa took the opportunity to disparage Luvia, then carried the unconscious Olga Marie on her back and prepared to leave.
"We lost this match. I'll explain things to the referees. I hope you can help keep Miss Marie's loss of control a secret."
After reminding Higashino Kanade, Theresa left. Higashino Kanade also returned to the arena.
At this time, thick black smoke still filled the arena, and those in the stands could not see the field clearly.
Normally, after the time they had spent talking, the Smoke Bombs' effects should have mostly faded.
However, in order to protect those in the audience from Olga Marie's Great Magecraft, the referees had erected a barrier in advance. This trapped the smoke inside the arena.
Higashino Kanade looked at the warm puddle to one side and decisively threw an Explosive Tag at it to destroy the evidence.
Everything required moderation. If the audience saw that Olga Marie had wet herself, the severity of the situation would rise several levels.
For the sake of the family's reputation, the Animusphere Family would definitely suppress the Edelfelt Family. As for Higashino Kanade, the chief culprit behind the whole matter, it would not be strange if he received a sealing designation someday. He did not believe that the old Director, who worried all day about how to build Chaldea, had no temper at all.
Therefore, leaving Olga Marie some dignity was a win-win measure for everyone.
With the explosion of the Explosive Tag, the evidence was completely destroyed.
Seeing that there had been no movement in the arena for so long, the referees discussed it and opened a gap in the protective barrier, allowing the thick smoke to drift away.
As visibility in the arena gradually cleared, the audience saw Higashino Kanade, the only person still standing in the field.
Then the entire venue erupted!
"What's going on? Where's the Astronomy Department's princess? Wasn't she just chanting Great Magecraft?"
"Did anyone see what happened? I remember Miss Olga seemed to have been hit by a spiritual Magecraft attack, and then what? Can someone explain?"
"Did the Edelfelt Family's dog win? No way, right? How could the Lord's daughter possibly lose?"
The referees and audience were completely baffled by what had happened in the arena.
They had only seen Olga Marie suddenly scream and crouch down while chanting, after which Higashino Kanade threw out Smoke Bombs and blocked everyone's view.
As for what happened afterward, ninety-nine percent of the Magi said they had seen nothing. The remaining one percent sat in the VIP seats, chuckling.
"Interesting! So interesting! That little girl from the Animusphere Family really took a terrible fall. I haven't seen such an embarrassing princess in a long time." Inorai clutched her stomach and laughed loudly.
As the Lord of the Department of Creation, Inorai normally would not laugh so disgracefully unless she truly could not hold it in.
Higashino Kanade's trick had fooled all the Magi in the venue, but he was still too inexperienced to fool her. She had clearly seen the entire sequence of events.
"Hahaha, what an entertaining match. The little girl from the Animusphere Family actually lost so miserably. Lorelei's expression will definitely be amusing once this news spreads. After all, the aristocratic ideology she believes in lost to a mercenary who appeared out of nowhere."
Bartholomello Lorelei, who believed in aristocracy, and Inorai Barleyreta Atoroholm, who believed in democracy, had never seen eye to eye due to their opposing political views. The result of this duel could become another joke Inorai used to mock supporters of aristocracy after meals.
Though in essence, neither aristocracy nor democracy treated the new generation of Magi as people. They merely saw them as worker ants needed to maintain the Clock Tower's daily operations.
As for whether Inorai would spread the news that Olga Marie had wet herself, of course she would not. After all, she and Olga Marie's father were both Lords, so she still had to give him basic respect.
"Let's go. There's nothing more to watch. The Edelfelt Family really found a treasure this time. That mercenary named Uchiha has quite impressive Mystic Eyes."
