My Fated Bond with Medea

The most plausible idea Shiro currently envisions is this Mystic Code.

First, this production method is not only available in the system's database, but Shiro also has ways to gain production experience.

Secondly, even if it is damaged, Shiro can use Projection Magecraft to directly Projection a replacement, which is very convenient.

As for why they didn't Projection directly, but instead took the long way around and painstakingly created the Craft Essence, there are naturally reasons for that.

One issue is naturally the consumption of energy. Maintaining both flight and the presence of the Craft Essence is a considerable test for Shiro's Chakra reserves.

Another reason is that while making Mystic Code, Shiro's Magecraft knowledge will also improve, which will benefit his development of new Magecraft, killing two birds with one stone.

Okay, enough with the fluff, it's time to get back to the main topic.

In short, the Craft Essence that Shiro chose not only allows him to fly, but also provides impressive Magecraft offensive capabilities. Of course, most importantly, it looks very cool!

Shiro's real target is Medea's cloak. Not only can it make you fly, but with the right Magecraft, it can also unleash a light beam—super cool! (It's probably not Noble Phantasm; let's wait and see if I'm wrong.)

Actually, there are quite a few flying Craft Essence in the system's database, but Shiro's impression of this one is the most profound. At the same time, because he often Projection Medea's Noble Phantasm, Shiro is also quite familiar with its structure.

It's also much simpler to make, making it a good choice.

The reason it can only be considered good, rather than the best, is because Shiro doesn't know the Age of Gods Magecraft and can't perfectly utilize its offensive capabilities like Medea.

But it doesn't matter, since Shiro values its ability to fly anyway. As for attacks, Shiro, who can Projection numerous Noble Phantasm, has no shortage of options.

At this moment, Shiro thought for a moment, erased the plan for learning to fly that he had just recorded on the scroll, and instead began to refer to the system's database to write down the materials for this Mystic Code.

So that he can collect them easily if he encounters them in the future, just like the materials for building the Magecraft Workshop. Shiro has already collected more than half of them, and the rest are all relatively common.

Shiro also plans to do the same when making Mystic Code, trying to maximize efficiency.

Of course, this still takes less priority than the Workshop.

Afterwards, just like yesterday, Shiro applied the medicine to himself, meditated for a while, and then, taking advantage of his still-active mind after the meditation, began to study the Magecraft Scroll.

Then I went to sleep. It's getting late, one round is enough. Continuing any longer might affect my performance tomorrow, which would be counterproductive.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. During this week, Shiro hadn't practiced Projection Magecraft much due to his injury. Therefore, after dealing with some personal matters, he focused his energy on other Magecraft theories.

During this week, Shiro went to buy extra honey to give to his friends, since his grandfather hadn't given him much and it couldn't be given to so many people.

However, he couldn't just send it to a few of them. Although Shiro didn't have many friends, he still had quite a few, and what his maternal grandfather sent certainly wouldn't be enough. Therefore, Shiro also bought some honey himself and sent it to them as well.

Secondly, he applied to leave the village and stayed at his maternal grandfather's house for two days.

Additionally, it's worth mentioning that, as expected, Shiro couldn't find a house to sell, and since Kushina was busy with Kazuki's affairs these past two days, he didn't bother her.

Anyway, there's no rush for now. As long as it's finished this year, that's fine. There are still a few difficulties in building the Workshop, so Shiro estimates it will take at least another year.

If you encounter a mental block, it could even extend the process by about a year, so there's really no rush right now.

Of course, Shiro didn't just bury himself in research all the time; he would occasionally take on some tasks on his own to test his research.

After all, experimentation is the sole criterion for testing truth.

Of course, Shiro wasn't testing the Magic Circuits modification; he wasn't ready to conduct human experiments yet.

Shiro was testing more on the students' training in Magecraft.

For example, when I was doing a mission to drive away wild beasts, I tested the effect of the Magic Barrier on a group of wild beasts, as well as the practical effects of some small-scale attack Magecraft, and so on.

There were successes and failures, but regardless of success or failure, they were all important to Shiro, as they were all resources for Shiro's progress in the path of demonic cultivation.

At the same time, it will also be more beneficial for Shiro to study that awesome Magecraft in the future.

Currently, Shiro has begun a new Magecraft experiment. He is sitting on a boulder, looking at the scene below.

After finishing his personal matters, Shiro saw that Kushina's situation was still unresolved, so he told Nakamura that he had accepted a mission and left.

Shiro's mission this time is still against the mountain bandits who can never be eliminated in the Shinobi World. However, this group of bandits is much lower-class. They not only have no wandering ninjas, but they also don't have many weapons.

Clearly, they had just become bandits, their skill level was still very low, and they hadn't even bought all their equipment.

However, after looking around, Shiro discovered that these were not ordinary bandits!

They were a group of bandits with ideals!

From their simple camp, Shiro saw the outline of the training ground and some relatively reasonable building layouts.

Clearly, there are capable people among them. Shiro guessed that they must have offended someone, otherwise they wouldn't have ended up as bandits.

However, capable people can thrive anywhere. Perhaps in a few years, they will have the chance to become the next bandit king!

Unfortunately, there were no "maybes." Before they could grow into strong, healthy leeks, they were harvested prematurely by Shiro.

After realizing that they were indeed just a bunch of small fry, Shiro began to pursue his true objective.

Shiro came here mainly to test the combat power of the new Dragon Tooth Soldier, which is why he specifically chose this weak bandit annihilation mission.

After all, the combat power of the previous Dragon Tooth Soldier was really disappointing, Shiro was worried about being instantly killed, so he chose this simpler mission.

Of course, Shiro was able to snag this previously highly sought-after mission thanks to this.

After all, being weak means accumulating less wealth, and naturally, there will be far less lucrative opportunities. It also won't serve any training purpose, which is why Shiro was able to accept it so easily.

After verifying the mission information and finding that their strength was indeed not much different from Shiro Shiro the camp, summoned the Dragon Tooth Soldier, and then sat on the boulder to watch the battle.

However, Shiro's improvements still had shortcomings. When facing ordinary mountain bandits, some of the Dragon Tooth Soldier did not perform well, and some even scattered halfway, which made Shiro shake his head.

It should be noted that Dragon Tooth Soldier have a certain advantage in fighting ordinary people because of their skeletal appearance, but even so, they still performed so poorly.

However, this was also because Shiro's Magecraft skills were somewhat lacking, and he didn't handle it well enough.
