After the discussion ended, Nakamura and the others went to sleep. Since they still had to travel tomorrow, they skipped their evening practice. Well, Shiro had to travel too, but he was a little excited now and couldn't sleep.
During the battle tonight, the system had notified Shiro that it had absorbed some scattered ocular power! Afterward, Shiro also learned that Taichi's Sharingan had advanced. Thus, Shiro had a guess. If it was proven true, he could really take off!
"System, what can the ocular power absorbed today be used for? Can it let me awaken the Sharingan?!"
That was right! This was Shiro's guess. If the system could give him the Sharingan through this method, then that meant Mangekyo Sharingan, Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, Rinnegan—
Thinking about crossing his arms and instantly killing enemies with Susanoo in the future, Shiro grinned so widely that he nearly drooled.
"Ding! Ocular power can be used to help the host master the skill: Clairvoyance."
"I knew it, the Sharingan is mine—" Halfway through speaking, Shiro realized what it had said. He blankly asked, "Huh? Clairvoyance? Not the Sharingan?"
"According to the data, the host does not meet the conditions to awaken the Sharingan. Therefore, the system can only help the host master Clairvoyance."
"...No wonder you got blown up. You can't even copy a mere Sharingan. You have no cool factor at all."
"According to the data, the host can acquire the Sharingan through certain methods."
"Hm? Really? This trash system has that function?"
"More accurately, the host possesses that ability."
"Hm?" Although Shiro was somewhat confused, he did not interrupt and let the system continue.
"According to the data, you only need to lie down and fall asleep. Everything is in there!"
"..."
Shiro swore that if he knew where the system's physical body was, he would definitely blow it up again!
"Forget it. Clairvoyance it is. I'll make do with it."
Although Clairvoyance was not as cool as the Sharingan, it was still better than having nothing.
It was just a little regrettable that he could not pilot a Gundam. After all, even setting aside its power, Susanoo was genuinely cool!
Unfortunately, that coolness had nothing to do with Shiro.
"Ah, I should go back and practice high jump instead. I don't need three kills. I'd be satisfied with one." Shiro sighed, then continued fantasizing.
However, Shiro still needed to ask the system about Clairvoyance, because what he had heard was that it would help him master it, not directly implant it into him.
"System, you said you'd help me master it, right? How are you going to help?"
"Retrieving data. Retrieval complete. The system cannot allow the host to directly master any ability. It can only assist the host, helping the host grasp the rudiments of an ability and enter the field. Everything afterward requires the host's own training and improvement."
"Wait, improve? My Clairvoyance can improve? How far can it ultimately reach?"
"Theoretically, the host's Clairvoyance can ultimately be raised to EX rank through personal training. The final achievement depends on the host's efforts."
"EX!" Shiro was startled and nearly cried out.
Originally, Shiro had thought that the Clairvoyance he obtained could at most reach EMIYA's C rank, and he would already have been satisfied with that. Who knew it would be this explosive!
EX! One had to know that Grand Mage Merlin's A-rank Clairvoyance could survey the entire world. Even so, people mocked him, saying that his A-rank Clairvoyance could only do that much.
EX-rank Clairvoyance could at least achieve the level of seeing through the future!
But that was only in theory. Whether he could train it to that point still depended on Shiro's efforts (the author's).
Thus, after calming himself down, Shiro continued asking, "What do I need to do?"
"The host only needs to reinforce the eyes. The system will release ocular power to accelerate this process, allowing the host to master Clairvoyance."
"Hm? So using Reinforcement Magecraft to strengthen my eyes in the past was actually a method of training Clairvoyance?"
"Yes, but that is only a relatively superficial method. Without sufficient time to hone it and elevate the concept of the legend, it is difficult to achieve." (EMIYA is a Counter Guardian, so he has support.)
"According to calculations, the host's Clairvoyance is expected to reach E rank, with a visual range of two kilometers."
(Let me explain here and make this a secondary setting. In the original work, EMIYA's C-rank Clairvoyance has a range of four kilometers, and its limit is certainly not just that. However, I could not find specific information about Clairvoyance. Therefore, here, Clairvoyance's visual range differs from Fate's rank advancement rules. In fact, the attribute calculations are different too, so I will not write them out here.
Therefore, C-rank Clairvoyance is assumed to be 8 kilometers, D rank 4 kilometers, E rank 2 kilometers, F rank 1 kilometer. B rank is 32 kilometers, while A rank and EX rank follow the original work and will be explained when they appear.
Also, these are maximum distances, not distances for precise shooting. That should be roughly halved. If you have questions, you can mention them in the book review section and discuss them together.)

"Two kilometers! Damn, I can only manage one thousand meters right now. This directly doubles it!"
"Right, System, does this also take time?"
"Yes. Please do it while concentrating, so the host can firmly remember this sensation and make future training easier."
"I see. Then I'll do it after we return to the village. First, I'll go look for my Sharingan."
Early the next morning, Shiro and the others set out for the village. Although they had planned out their route while on the mission, it would still take three days to reach Konoha. Besides, the mission was already complete.
So, while they said they were rushing back to the village, there was not actually much urgency. Nothing had happened to the village, after all, and it was not lacking a few minor figures like them.
Therefore, they still had plenty of time to rest. The journey was going to take a while anyway, so a little extra time made no difference.
However, Shiro and the others were not idle. Under Nakamura's supervision, Taichi and Shikaki practiced that Sealing Jutsu, while Shiro made Dragon Tooth Soldiers nearby.
After experiencing that night's battle, Shiro discovered that Dragon Tooth Soldiers were actually not bad. The key was that they were easy to stockpile and consumed little to summon. As for their strength, that could be solved entirely with Reinforcement Magecraft.
Just like how Medea reinforced Teacher Kuzuki. However, Shiro's Reinforcement Magecraft had not yet reached that level, so for now, he could only use them to fill his inventory. They were not very useful against ninja.
Well, let him repeat it: Medea reinforced Kuzuki with Reinforcement Magecraft, not love. Therefore, Shiro had not fallen in love with Dragon Tooth Soldiers! He had not!
However, due to his Origin, Shiro learned other Magecraft very inefficiently. If not for the Magecraft knowledge brought by Rule Breaker, he would not have learned this Magecraft so quickly.
Well, the other Magecraft was the even more half-baked Contract Familiar.
Shiro had no idea what this Magecraft was useful for. At first, it was only because its advanced stage could be used to summon Heroic Spirits. But later, Shiro discovered that this thing was useless.
First, there was no Holy Grail here, which meant there was no Third Magic: Materialization of the Soul. Therefore, Heroic Spirits could not be summoned.
Second, Shiro was only a half-baked amateur in this area and could not even learn the basics properly. Besides, he already had a Summoning Contract with Ryūchi Cave, so he had basically never used it afterward.
Perhaps someday, when Shiro was bored out of his mind, he might think of using it to pass the time. But definitely not now.
Sorry, I forgot while writing...
