Shinji's Plan to Make Money for the Tohsaka Family (Bankrupt)

"After the Einsbern family found a way to exploit the loophole, they had two special classes to choose from: the Avenger, who pursued destructive power, and the Ruler, who had a greater advantage in tactics."

"After weighing the pros and cons, Einzbern chose the more aggressive Avenger, but unfortunately, they made a mistake in selecting the Heroic Spirit, summoning the weakest one, Angra Mainyu."

"If Einzbern had summoned Ruler back then, things might have been different."

Illya said with a hint of regret.

Upon hearing Illya's words on the screen Kairi Shishigou burst into laughter.

"Actually, there's not much difference. In fact, if Ruler had been chosen, the decline of the Three Families would have been even faster."

"You could say that every cloud has a silver lining."

Joan of Arc had a different opinion. She looked at Shinji and said, "In the end, this is just Master's personal speculation. If I had to write it, I could write a story about the Three Families reaching the Root."

Amakusa scoffed at these words, "You? Write stories? Miss Saintess, you didn't even graduate from elementary school, what can you write? You'd be lucky to come up with six words in seven days."

Accurate!

I'm really annoyed!

I'm so annoyed!

[You dark-skinned bastard! When the action scenes start, watch out, I'll impale you on a flagpole and roast you!]

Joan of Arc felt her smile was about to crumble.

[Joan of Joan of Arc, you've been arguing with me all this time, now you've met your match, haven't you?]

Shinji was trying so hard to suppress his laughter that he almost injured himself.

[Amakusa, don't stop! I'll give you everything I can, except help!]

If Joan of Arc hadn't been there, Shinji would have given Amakusa a thumbs up.

Almost ignored by everyone else, Kairi Shishigou scratched his head as he watched Illya talking eloquently on the TV screen.

"Being a teacher... please spare me, I hate lecturing the most."

With Illya's explanation finished, Shirou Emiya and the others began preparations for the final battle.

To increase their fighting strength, Shirou Emiya, who was the only Heroic Spirit with Rider, Projection a very strange Noble Phantasm —a short blade whose blade part looked like a faceted gem.

This is something that many Magecraft who study Second Magic related spells are very familiar with; even if they haven't seen it, they've at least heard of its description.

The Jewel Sword is one of the many Magecraft Mystic Code created by Magecraft Kishua Zelretch Schweinorg.

What should have been a very surprising thing turned out to be nothing out of the ordinary to the Magecraft and the audience.

After experiencing so many versions of FSN, Magecraft have clearly come to realize one fact.

Shirou Emiya is practically the production team's father. Forget about the Jewel Sword; there's nothing he can't Projection if he wants to.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Shirou Emiya Projection a female version of himself."

Looking at the Jewel Sword in Shirou Emiya's hand on the screen, Shibamatsu calmly remarked.

"Indeed, the Jewel Sword is such an amazing weapon [beep--!]. Shinji Matou really went to great lengths to give Shirou Emiya more screen time."

Fujita complained, somewhat annoyed, "I wish I could have a friend like that."

Compared to those Noble Phantasm that appear purely in mythology, the Jewel Sword is not a very old artifact.

However, because this sword Second Magician, many Magecraft are more familiar with it than with those legendary Noble Phantasm.

It was also because of their familiarity that the Magecraft were able to better understand the bug in Shirou Emiya's Projection.

"You bunch of idiots!"

Azu sighed in exasperation, "Don't forget how Shirou Emiya Projection the Jewel Sword!"

"Forehead..."

The group exchanged bewildered glances, then let out a scream that startled everyone else in the theater.

"Damn! Could the Tohsaka family really have the blueprints for the Jewel Sword?!"

Chapter 213 Shinji's Tohsaka family's Money-Making Plan (Bankruptcy)

The Magecraft community has always scoffed at the Tohsaka family's claim that they are disciples of the Jewel Master, believing it to be an attempt by this small Far Eastern family to embellish their reputation.

After all, who doesn't know that being taken in as a disciple by that old man is tantamount to becoming a cripple?!

The Tohsaka family actually escaped unscathed?! You're kidding me!!

Therefore, there is only one conclusion: the Tohsaka family is lying, using the title of Grand Marshal of the Magecraft Sect to embellish the history of their not-so-long Mage families.

This practice is all too common in those short-established Mage Families; as long as the person being mentioned doesn't object, no one bothers to pay any attention.

Perhaps the Jewel Master taught you about the Tohsaka family, but it was definitely not a teacher-student relationship. At most, it was like someone from the Tohsaka family took a Jewel Master lesson at the Clock Tower. (That's pretty close to the truth.)

Now that the Tohsaka family has been exposed for possessing the blueprints for the Jewel Sword, the relationship Tohsaka family and Jewel Master Zelretch has become quite intriguing.

"Could it be that the Tohsaka family are really disciples of that Magus?"

Shibamatsu and Fujita stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe it at all.

"It's Jewel Sword? Is this something you can just show off like that?"

To be honest, the number of Magecraft Mystic Code that the Jewel Master created using the Second Magic wasn't particularly large, but it was definitely not small either.

There are over a hundred documented examples, but most of these costumes have either disappeared or become unusable due to mysterious decay for various reasons.

Therefore, if it were merely Magecraft Mystic Code for Jewel Master, the Magecraft wouldn't be too surprised.

The Tohsaka family is, after all, a Mage families with a history of over a hundred years. Even if they use deception or sneak attacks, they can still leave themselves some wealth.

Since they call themselves "disciples of Zelretch," it would be unreasonable for them not to have one or two things related to the Grand Marshal of the Magecraft.

However, the Jewel Sword is a very special Mystic Code, not only because it is the pinnacle of Magecraft Mystic Code related to the Second Magic.

More importantly, it has the ability to communicate with and use the magic of the Great Source of Parallel world!

There has long been a theory in the Mage world.

Since the mystery of our world has faded, why can't we draw mystery from other Parallel world where the mystery may not have faded?

This theory has been popular in the Mage world, and many people agree that Magecraft Zelretch went to other Parallel world because he could not bear the decline of mysticism.

However, how to communicate with Parallel world has become a major problem.

Among the currently proposed solutions, using Jewel Sword is the least risky and has the highest probability of success.

And now, Shinji Matou and the Tohsaka family have brazenly made public the blueprints for the Jewel Sword.

Although the big screen didn't show a close-up of the Jewel Sword blueprints, Shinji Matou's willingness to film it that way was definitely not without reason.

"It's normal that the Tohsaka family didn't want to make this public before."

Shibamatsu, stroking his chin, analyzed, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. The small Tohsaka family is not worthy of such a great gift."

Fujita interjected, "But now they've made it public."

"So they think they can protect this secret? No, the ones who should protect this secret are Shinji Matou, Lord El- El-Melloi (Kenseth), and their Modern Magecraft Department."

"I've heard that the Clock Tower's political climate has been fluctuating lately," Azu speculated, stroking her chin. "Perhaps Mr. Matou's willingness to provide information about the Jewel Sword is an attempt to win over the neutral faction?"

Azu believes that those families who were originally undecided may turn to support the Modern Magecraft Department for the sake of the Jewel Sword.

Even if their own research into Magecraft is unrelated to the Second Magic, they can still benefit once the Jewel Sword successfully connects with the Great Source of other Parallel world.

"As expected of Mr. Matou, to be able to pull out such a trump card at a crucial moment, he must have already calculated everything behind the scenes, right?"

At that moment, Azu admired Shinji even more.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Not only were non-Type-Moon Magecraft like Azu, but even the Type-Moon Magecraft in Fuyuki City were stunned by the news of the Jewel Sword.

"I never expected it to be Jewel Sword..."

Leinys pressed her fingers to her temples, her face showing both surprise and speechlessness.

"Such an important thing was revealed at such a crucial moment. Surely the head of the family doesn't know about it?"

Rin, resting her chin on her hand, replied helplessly, "Of course not, that was purely Shinji's own idea. I only found out he knew about the blueprints at my house after I saw the script. My father even thought I told him. Tsk!"

Just thinking about Tokiomi's conflicted expression back then gave Rin a headache.

The blueprints for the Jewel Sword were important items that circulated only within the Tohsaka family. In his father's view, telling Shinji about it was proof that he was determined to marry Shinji.

What if my precious daughter really does have feelings for Shinji?

This is what Tokiomi was truly worried about.

The leak of the blueprints is no longer important, because Kenseth, who is far away in Britain, had already negotiated a price with him.

With the El-Melloi Family's backing, the Tohsaka family naturally has nothing to fear from outsiders' prying eyes.

Compared to blueprints, my daughter's marriage is more important.

The problem is, Rin really doesn't know where Shinji found out this secret!

[Tsk, don't let me find out how you knew. If I do, I'll beat you so badly you'll be bedridden and need Sakura to take care of you for the rest of your life, Shinji!!]

Achoo!

Shinji suddenly sneezed in the conference room.

"And who is talking about me again?"

Shinji rubbed his nose and complained.

"I guess it's those Aristocratic Faction."

Shishigou laughed heartily, "Boss, you've really outmaneuvered them. With the Jewel Sword as bait, I'm sure many families they've lured over will waver again."

"Boss, that was absolutely brilliant! A truly ingenious plan!"

"Are you an idiot?" Shinji rolled his eyes. "How could you possibly have known about the Aristocratic Faction backlash while filming the TV series!"

"So what are you doing...?"

Shinji scratched his head in regret. "My original idea was to have the Tohsaka family publicly rent out the blueprints, and I would use my connections at the Clock Tower to act as a middleman and make a profit, earning myself some pocket money."

"Now look what's happened. Kenseth used the blueprints as leverage in negotiations, and I'm going to be broke again. Sigh, am I cursed by Alaya? Am I destined to be penniless for life?"

Hey, you've completely lost your class, okay?

[The young master of the Matou Family, trying to earn pocket money this way? Have you no shame?!]

[Master, you always manage to push the boundaries of my senses towards you.]

Everyone else in the conference room looked at Shinji with disdain.

Shinji, realizing his slip of the tongue, quickly coughed twice and then pointed at the television screen with his pointer to change the subject.

"The events that unfolded during this period were part of the preparations made by both sides before the main battle."

"Because the difference in combat strength between the two sides is too great, I must balance the two sides in order to maintain the suspense of the final battle."

"Let's leave aside the Projection Jewel Sword; as for the villains..."

As he spoke, Shinji slammed the pointer across Sakura's face on the screen.

"I need to reduce their numbers in a reasonable way."

If a story lacks suspense, viewers will lose the motivation to continue watching.

This suspense is two-way; if the villain is too strong or too weak, it will reduce the audience's viewing experience.

The best approach is to make the villain slightly stronger than the hero, but not too much stronger.

The best way to eliminate the villains' fighting power is through internal strife and betrayal.

But there's a technique to how you stab someone.

Currently Matou Family's side still consists of Matou Sakura, Matou Zouken, Saber Alter, and Assassin.

First and foremost, Saber Alter absolutely cannot move; a powerful Servant is key to whether the final action sequence will be good or not.

Assassin must die. Don't underestimate him just because he's not strong; he never underestimates his opponents.

If he were still alive, he would definitely choose to strike at a crucial moment against a key member of the main group.

In order to ensure the main characters win without losing their intelligence, the best way is to kill off the Cursed Arm.
