Mystic Code

For the next two days, aside from having a small gathering with some friends on the first day, Shiro spent almost all his time practicing the training plan that Sakumo had devised for Shiro.

It has to be said that Sakumo's strength is no joke; the training plan he devised for Shiro is far more sophisticated than any plan Shiro could devise himself.

In the past two days, Shiro has clearly felt that his progress has accelerated a lot, and he is slowly making up for the deficiencies in his foundation.

Furthermore, Sakumo also answered many of Shiro's questions about Ninjutsu.

Shiro's understanding of Ninjutsu was almost entirely gained through Projection Magecraft. Therefore, some of it was inevitably based on pure intuition, giving the impression that he knew how but not why.

Some of Shiro's interpretations were understandable, while others were not; therefore, Sakumo's role became apparent.

After two days of training, Shiro has made great progress. Many of his previous questions have been resolved. At the same time, he has also improved his Projection Magecraft, which he thought had reached its limit at this stage.

He received another boost, and the cost of Projection C-rank Noble Phantasm has been reduced once again. Now, except for some Noble Phantasm, Shiro can release his true name.

At the same time, with minimal Chakra depletion, Shiro was able to perform the complete Triple Crane Wings.

Of course, Shiro Magecraft didn't give up either, since it was related to Shiro future plans. However, as Shiro continued his training, it was time for him to make a choice Shiro path of magic.

That is, choosing between Modern Magecraft or Age of Gods Magecraft.

The difference between the two is that the Age of Gods Magecraft is Magecraft from the Age of Gods era in the Nasuverse, which is ancient. It is powerful and can be used simply by Magecraft.

Furthermore, because it uses the Mana from heaven and earth (simply put, spiritual energy), its endurance and power far surpass Modern Magecraft.

Modern Magecraft also has its advantages. Modern Magecraft is a modified form of Magecraft developed by Magecraft after they could no longer use Mana. It relies on their own Od.

Therefore, neither its endurance nor its power can compare to the Age of Gods Magecraft. However, the advantage of Modern Magecraft is that it is relatively easy to learn and can be activated quickly.

Therefore, both have their advantages and disadvantages. Although Shiro mainly uses Projection Magecraft, after learning the Age of Gods Magecraft, Shiro can use the Mana to perform Projection Magecraft.

It could solve Shiro 'Chakra deficiency to some extent, which is very tempting.

However, Shiro ultimately chose Modern Magecraft.

Shiro never forgot his original intention in learning Magecraft —to build Magecraft Workshop so that he could use the Tailed Beast Chakra to enhance his attributes.

Shiro still remembered that the system said his Origin would affect his training in other Magecraft, making it very inefficient. Therefore, choosing the Age of Gods Magecraft meant that Shiro's Magecraft Workshop plan would be delayed again.

Moreover, the Age of Gods Magecraft can only affect Shiro's Reinforcement Magecraft, not his Projection Magecraft. Even if he uses the Mana, the level of his Noble Phantasm will still decrease.

Furthermore, Shiro's Chakra reserves will increase in the future, so the key will be the efficiency with Magic Resistance.

At the same time, the use of Age of Gods Magecraft requires chanting, unlike Modern Magecraft which is more convenient and doesn't quite fit Shiro's fighting style.

Therefore, Shiro ultimately chose Modern Magecraft.

However, the Chakra problem still needs to be solved as soon as possible. Since the Magecraft Workshop cannot be built for the time being, Shiro has to think of a temporary solution.

After searching through the system's database for a long time, Shiro finally found a more reliable method— Magic Crest.

Magic Crest: Crest used to pass on the results of Magecraft's research to the next generation. By Crest it, Magecraft can pass on their research and Magecraft to their successor.

Simply put, it's a reusable True Magic scroll from a fantasy novel, but unlike other Magic Crest, it also retains the ancestors' research on Magecraft.

In addition, Magic Crest also have another function: storing Mana.

Shiro remembers that in the UBW route, Shirou gained the Mana to use Unlimited Blade Works by transplanting Rin's Magic Crest.

Therefore, the Magic Crest should be able to meet Shiro's needs, but Shiro needs to make his own Magic Crest.

Fortunately, Shiro can now Projection the Rule Breaker and allow Shiro to complete the creation and transplantation of the Magic Crest. However, the transplantation of the Magic Crest is extremely dangerous.

The First Hokage of Magic Crest were generally created by embedding fragments of non-existent Phantasmal Species or Mystic Code into the body.

Because a foreign object is implanted into the body, the resulting rejection reaction is bound to be far greater than that of receiving it from one's parents. After enduring this rejection reaction for several generations, the Magic Crest is finally completed by imbuing the foreign object, which serves as the core, with one's own Magecraft.

Shiro can adapt to this rejection reaction more quickly through the system's enhancement features, allowing him to complete the process in a short time.

However, the dangers and suffering involved are also much greater.

Shiro still needs to make ample preparations.

At the same time, Shiro had already decided on the material for creating the Magic Crest: Chakra Metal.

In reality, there aren't many options. There are plenty of materials in the Hokage world that could be used as resources, but they're either unavailable or too dangerous, such as the Chakra of Tailed Beast.

After much thought, the only safe and easy option is Chakra Metal. As long as I have enough money, I can get the channels from either Sakumo or Kushina.

Now, everything is ready except for the money.

What? You mean preparation work? Doesn't that cost money?

Therefore, after making the decision, Shiro first handed the money to Sakumo for safekeeping, because he always couldn't resist spending it if it was in Shiro's hands.

Just like how money can burn your hands, this is a bad habit that Shiro had in his previous life, and he could never get rid of it.

Therefore, it's safer to leave it with Sakumo.

These past two days, Shiro hasn't just been busy cultivating; he's also been preparing for Mizuki's graduation ceremony. Who told him to just blurt it out like that?

You have to jump into the hole you dug yourself, even if it brings tears to your eyes.

There's an art to giving gifts. Giving something ordinary feels a bit awkward, but giving something expensive is impractical since we haven't known each other long and we can't afford it anyway.

After much thought, Shiro decided to give her a Bird Familiar as a summoning beast. This thing was inexpensive to make, practical, and since it was handmade, it conveyed his heartfelt sentiment—it was simply perfect!

Fortunately, Shiro had given the village a simplified version of this scroll beforehand; otherwise, Shiro probably would have been invited for questioning by the Intelligence Squad.

The foresight of Shiro in handing the scroll to the village is evident here: it proves that he has certain research and development capabilities and that some methods can be used openly and honestly without worrying about being suspected.

As for why Shiro used different ones? Shiro believed that anyone with a normal IQ wouldn't ask him this question. The secret lies in the word "secret." If I've already told you, why would I keep it a secret?
