Feeling the astonishing elasticity and texture from his right hand, Su Mo's mouth hung slightly agape in speechlessness...

Chapter 5: I AM a Heroic Spirit - Seeking Collections

As if finally noticing Su Mo's strange gaze, a faint blush spread across both of Mash's cheeks. She stammered, "S-Senpai, please don't look at me like that. This is part of my armor, I don't want to wear it like this..."

"Ah... um, that's not what I meant!"

Su Mo quickly withdrew his hand from Mash's proud chest, coughed to cover his embarrassment, and was about to say something else when a large projection screen suddenly appeared in front of them, showing a frazzled Dr. Roman.

"Finally connected! Hello, this is Chaldea's control room. Can you hear me?"

"This is Chaldea's A-Team member, Mash Kyrielight. We have successfully moved to Singular Point F. My companion is Master Su Mo-senpai."

"Master Su Mo-senpai's physical and mental state is normal, though there seems to be slight memory confusion due to the Rayshift. Everything else is fine. Please register Su Mo-senpai as a formal investigator according to procedure." Mash, no longer flustered, answered Roman on the screen with intense focus.

"So you were caught in a Rayshift? To be able to transfer without a Spiritron Dress... I can't believe you two endured it. That's amazing! I definitely wouldn't have been able to. I'm genuinely happy for you both!" Roman sighed in relief, then frowned at Mash. "Mash, what's with your outfit? It's way too revealing! I don't remember you being a lewd child."

Hearing Roman's unvarnished words, Mash's face flushed red to her ears, leaving her speechless.

"Mash has become a Heroic Spirit. Those clothes and that weapon are her equipment," Su Mo interjected, coming to Mash's rescue. Mash looked at him with immense gratitude.

"Heroic Spirit... Wait? What's going on? You said she's a Heroic Spirit?"

"For the investigation and resolution of this singularity, didn't Chaldea summon Servants beforehand? Due to the previous explosion, the summoned Servant lost their Master and was about to vanish when they formed a contract with Mash, transferring their abilities and Noble Phantasm to her." Su Mo explained.

"A fusion of a Heroic Spirit and a human... a Demi-Servant? Chaldea's sixth experiment is a success. Wait... what's going on? This is strange. Su Mo, your physical abilities and magic circuits have all increased. This surpasses even many ordinary Heroic Spirits! These stats are incredible!"

Roman's fingers flew across the keyboard as he stared at Su Mo's stats on the screen, exclaiming in disbelief. Hearing Roman, Mash also turned her head, looking at Su Mo with astonishment.

"While this explanation might surprise you, please listen." Su Mo pressed his forehead, organizing his thoughts. He paused before continuing.

"During the explosion earlier, to save Mash from being crushed by a boulder, I drew a magic circle and placed the Holy Relic on it, reciting the incantation to summon a Heroic Spirit. But nothing happened. Just as I thought I had failed, I suddenly felt my magic power and physical abilities skyrocketing."

"After a brief moment of surprise, I understood. My summoning didn't fail because... I am a Heroic Spirit, and I myself am the Holy Relic for summoning Heroic Spirits!"

"This is ridiculous! It's a fairy tale! You're acting like you are a Heroic Spirit!" Roman slammed his hand on the table, negating his claim.

"Hmph, you call yourselves an institution researching Heroic Spirits? Or perhaps, as a doctor, you don't know much about Heroic Spirits? Then let me say this: Heroic Spirits have no concept of time. My future self will become a Heroic Spirit. So, what's wrong with summoning my future self, who has already become a Heroic Spirit, and having it attach itself to my current self?"

Roman was momentarily speechless at Su Mo's words. He finally cleared his throat awkwardly. "In any case, Su Mo, you becoming a Heroic Spirit is a good thing. We'll discuss this further later. Besides, with you and the Demi-Servant Mash, you now have two Heroic Spirits, which will make the investigation of the singularity smoother. Oh, and by the way, what are your classes and Noble Phantasms as Heroic Spirits?"

Mash shook her head. "I don't know. After that Servant gave me their abilities, they disappeared. They never told me their true name before vanishing, so I don't know which Heroic Spirit I am or what Noble Phantasm my weapon is."

"That's troublesome. Without knowing the Heroic Spirit's true name, the Noble Phantasm cannot be activated. However, thanks to that Servant, you were saved, Mash." Roman said, half worried and half pleased. He then turned his gaze to Su Mo.

"So, Su Mo, what is your class as a Heroic Spirit? And what is your Noble Phantasm?"

"My class and Noble Phantasm... well, you might not believe me if I tell you. My class is Caster. I have two Noble Phantasms. The first is named Victory's Song of Triumph. Its effect is to strengthen my own attack power and weaken the enemy's attack and defense. This Noble Phantasm's effect benefits all allies."

"The other is called War Storm. It's an Anti-Army and Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm."

"It summons a modern army of Heroic Spirits to strike the enemy. After the attack, if the enemy is not killed, they will also be paralyzed for a period of time."

"Thump..."
