Chapter 557

Shirou scoffed, "It's so exaggerated, even a layman would notice."

Rin Tohsaka agreed with him, "An amateur... Indeed, the barrier that makes people feel abnormal can only be described as third-rate."

If you're going to do it, the best way is to hide it until it's finished...

"Seriously, to do something so vulgar on my territory, they must be tired of living."

This is the real reason why Rin Tohsaka is angry.

To do this at her school is clearly a declaration of war against her.

As one of the administrators of Fuyuki City, the Tohsaka Family has a responsibility to oversee Magecraft activities in this area.

Furthermore, Hohyunohara Academy is Rin Tohsaka's daily activity area, so for someone to set up a barrier there without notifying her beforehand is undoubtedly a provocation against her.

Moreover, the nature of this barrier is still unclear. If it causes harm to ordinary students, then the responsibility will fall on her.

"Whether the opponent is third-rate or first-rate, that guy needs to be taught a lesson. Shirou, you think so too, right?"

Why am I being dragged into this?

Shirou's answer stunned Rin Tohsaka.

"Hey... Shirou, aren't you angry?"

"It doesn't feel like a harmful barrier," Shirou said.

Rin said, "Leaving aside your unfounded feeling, involving ordinary people in Magecraft already violates the fundamental principle that Magecraft should be kept secret."

Shirou said, "I'm not Clock Tower- type Magecraft, so I don't really care about that principle..."

Upon hearing this, Rin looked suspicious. "Amamiya- san, could it be that you set up the barrier?"

Shirou said matter-of-factly, "If I had set up the barrier, it wouldn't have left such obvious marks."

"That's true, Amamiya's barrier technology is surprisingly advanced..."

Rather, you've even mastered "Inherent Barrier," something modern Magecraft couldn't possibly grasp.

A shadow fell over Rin Tohsaka's face.

For about eight years, she had been fixated on Shirou's silhouette.

However, even though she was a recognized genius, the gap between her and Shirou was so vast that it was despairing.

Over the years, Rin Tohsaka has not only failed to close the gap between herself and Shirou, but she feels that the gap between them is widening.

At this rate, catching up with that figure is just a pipe dream... Sigh.

"... Understood. I won't ask you for help; I'll handle this myself."

Rin Tohsaka tossed her beautiful black hair and snorted.

"Is it okay to leave Rin alone?"

Tiamat, now in spirit form, appeared beside the boy and asked anxiously.

Shirou didn't say anything, but simply watched her return to her classroom.

Rin Tohsaka is full of energy.

Since he's Magecraft, he can't tolerate the other party taking advantage of his kindness.

This time it's a long-awaited enemy.

She wouldn't be satisfied without giving that rude guy who opened a barrier in someone else's home a proper thrashing.

During lunch break, Rin Tohsaka made plans for the evening as she walked back to the classroom from the cafeteria.

I saw a junior high school girl walking slowly and unsteadily down the corridor.

That girl looked like she was moving some documents; it looked dangerous.

"I'll help, Sakura."

"Ah, um... thank you, Tohsaka- senpai."

Sakura Matou was slightly surprised when she saw who had spoken to her.

"What's this? English handouts? Wait, first-year high school English? Isn't that Teacher Fujimura's?"

"How could she have thought of asking a middle school girl to carry her lecture notes?" Rin Tohsaka was speechless.

"Um... Teacher Fujimura said..." Be proud, Sakura! It's a great honor for you to run errands for me!

Shirou is no longer worth hoping for; you've always been the one I have the highest hopes for.

"Once Sakura goes to high school, you'll have to help me win back the Archery Club!"

Taiga Fujimura noticed Sakura Matou's growth potential beyond her breasts.

Although she is still an introverted junior high school girl, one day she will grow into a very important figure in the Archery Club.

That's why Taiga Fujimura used the "taking care" approach of having her run errands for him to win over future underlings.

"What kind of Showa-era yakuza mentality is this? Seriously..."

Rin Tohsaka sighed, "Here, give me half."

"Ah, yes. Thank you, senpai," Sakura Matou said somewhat reservedly.

"It's okay, it's okay."

The two sisters, who addressed each other as junior and senior, walked towards the teachers' office building.

"Sakura, are you feeling better?"

"Huh?"

Sakura Matou was stunned, but quickly realized that this was about her taking leave from school yesterday.

"I'm much better now."

"Really? If you're still feeling unwell anywhere, just let me know. I have Tohsaka Family... cough cough, some special medicines."

"OK."

Sakura Matou felt ashamed for lying and dared not look her sister in the eye.

Rin Tohsaka, engrossed in her everyday conversation with her sister, was completely unaware of her sister's unusual behavior.

"... Um, this is fine, senior. Just give it to Teacher Fujimura afterwards."

"Really? See you later."

By the way, if Teacher Fujimura does anything, just say so. That guy doesn't know any limits; staying silent will only make things worse.

Rin Tohsaka returned the lecture notes to Sakura.

Although she planned to go back to her classroom, she paused for a moment.

"Sakura, how have you been lately?"

"Ah... yes, no problem. I'm very happy right now."

Sakura Matou said this, a smile appeared on her face.

Looking at that smile, Rin Tohsaka became even more determined to protect their peaceful daily life.

The day is over.

The number of students in the classrooms decreased, and the school buildings gradually became dark.

Sunset is almost here.

Once the red sunset sets and night falls, there won't be anyone left at school.

Rin Tohsaka began her work as the head of the Tohsaka Family.

The first step is to conduct a preliminary investigation of the barrier.

After investigating what kind of world it is, then decide whether to destroy it or preserve it.

The investigation into the barrier didn't take much time, and a conclusion was reached quickly.

The barrier currently erected in Homonculus is not actually that dangerous.

Since it's neither a barrier that drains human life force, nor is it the most common Invisibility Barrier in the Magecraft world that avoids people—

That's some kind of detection barrier.

A barrier that collects the biometric data of everyone who enters this school.

If we disregard personal privacy, it can be considered a harmless barrier.

It's like a "lingerie thief who only checks the size but doesn't take anything," it's disgusting.

Rin Tohsaka's anger intensified, and she began searching for a foothold in the detection barrier.

After investigating one by one on campus, she finally went to the rooftop.

It was completely dark outside.

The time is 8 o'clock, which is past the threshold of 6 o'clock.

Rin Tohsaka remained at the school.

"... Is this the seventh one? This seems to be the starting point."

Seven lines of markings were openly drawn on the ground of the rooftop.

The red and purple writing, visible only to Magecraft, is in a form they've never seen before, and it's used to inscribe things they've never heard of.

"Tsk... I can't wipe this off with my hands."

Rin Tohsaka had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Because the barrier itself was poorly constructed, she assumed that the other party was a mediocre, untrained Magecraft from elsewhere.

The Homonculus is probably because they heard that the head of the Tohsaka family was studying there.

However, judging from the current situation, Rin Tohsaka feels that she has underestimated her opponent's strength.

Although the technique for setting up the barrier was clumsy, the Magecraft itself was extremely mysterious.

Although Rin Tohsaka can temporarily remove the magic power of this cursed seal, she cannot remove the cursed seal itself. The caster can revive the barrier by channeling magic power through the area again.

However, Rin Tohsaka will not give up easily.

Eight years before her father lost everything, the girl had already made a vow to herself.

One day, I'll catch up to that guy.

The girl approached the cursed seal on the ground and extended her left hand, which now bore the mark of the Tohsaka Family.

"Abzug bedienung mittelstnda--(eliminate the second section of the removal surgery)."

As Rin Tohsaka channeled her magic power into the ground, the cursed seal disappeared.

It worked even better than I expected.

Is it because Shirou taught him the Enhancement Magic techniques? Even the effects of the spell have been enhanced.

Rin Tohsaka was somewhat pleased; her secret practice had finally paid off.

Although they ultimately had to rely on that guy's power, at least the troublesome curse mark was removed.

"!!!"

Suddenly, a chill ran through Rin Tohsaka's body.

The girl suddenly turned around.

Above the water tower, a purple phantom blends into the darkness of the night.

Her alluring purple hair flowed in the evening breeze, her slender limbs possessed a full, curvaceous figure, and her beautiful features made it seem like a dream.

The tall woman looked down at Rin Tohsaka from ten meters above.

Those eyes, Gilgamesh like jewels, cast a sharp gaze.
