After all, in their view, the Jujutsu Society seems to be just like this. Apart from special-grade sorcerers like Satoru Gojo, it seems that it would take a long time for a normal level one sorcerer to destroy a city.

Other religions, such as Shinto and Buddhism, can probably gauge the strength of these two religions because of Menma's existence. Their strength is quite different from the oppressive feeling of alien spaceship invasions in movies.

As it turns out, the You Know Who mentioned the magic world in his diary today.

Shinomiya Kaguya had heard about the situation in the magic world, since Magicians were mainly based abroad, especially in Europe, where their status was not much lower than that of Japanese Sorcerers and priests.

Or rather, during the golden age of magic, Shinto and Sorcerers in Japan were simply no match for Magicians.

It's just that Magicians have a special mechanism that requires them to have a relatively abstract magic foundation before they can perform magic tricks.

This is a concept that Magicians pre-imprint in the "world" so that they can use magic more easily.

To activate a spell, one must first make contact with the magic disk that has been pre-engraved in the world, then extract Mana from the Mana source. This Mana source can come from the Mana within one's own body or from the ether mana in the external air. Finally, the Mana is transferred to the abstract magic disk through the Magic Circuit, thereby activating the spell's incantation.

Although this method seems complicated, the magic base plate is data that is engraved on the world, and different magics have different magic base plates.

In this respect, Magicians who leave their mark on the world, and whose goal is to seek the Root of the world, do indeed have a deeper understanding of the essence of the world than Sorcerers and priests.

But it was precisely this obsessive goal that caused unimaginable damage to the magic world during the period of mystique's decline.

The mysterious decline, with the Mana in the air dropping to its lowest point, is one thing, but other extraordinary systems can still hold on to some extent.

However, in the magic world, the foundations of magic that were imprinted on the world were almost undetectable or even collapsed due to the mysterious decline, which dealt an extremely heavy blow to the magic world at the very beginning of the mysterious decline.

What followed was a period of chaos that lasted for more than half a century, during which the once influential world of magic completely declined.

The major forces in the magic world have also completely fallen silent.

It wasn't until the beginning of this century that the mystery, which had been declining for a century, was revived, bringing new life to the half-dead world of magic.

However, the magic world today is still far from returning to what it was back then.

Because the foundation of magic and another characteristic of magic is that magic needs to maintain mystery.

Magic has its limits; every additional user diminishes the power of that magic.

In reality, a single system of magic could easily accommodate tens of thousands of Magicians using magic within that system.

But as more and more people become aware of this, the power that each person can use will naturally have to be continuously divided from within.

Once a certain limit is exceeded, the magic of this system will be used with less power than it normally can, thus necessitating a reduction in the number of people who know about these magics.

This very nature makes it difficult for Magicians to create new cakes.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the world's population was just over 1 billion. Extraordinary talents were one in ten thousand, and there were only a few hundred thousand extraordinary individuals in the entire world. Magicians' magic could also guarantee their power.

But now the world's population is approaching 9 billion. At the same time, after the Mystery Revival, the threshold for extraordinary talent seems to have dropped again. With various extraordinary awakenings, extraordinary forces, and various talents competing for talent, the number of extraordinary people is expected to exceed one million in a few years.

Under such circumstances, even with the Mystery Revival, the status of the magic world remains as awkward as ever. It urgently needs a genius theoretical Magicians to step forward and make sweeping reforms to the current foundation of Magicians, so that Magicians can have a chance to rebuild their former glory.

However, in the Jujutsu Society, Shinomiya Kaguya received the answer from Satoru Gojo: "It's very difficult."

Regardless of whether such abilities exist in the magic world.

The high-ranking figures in the Jujutsu Society are a bunch of scoundrels, and many of the noble forces in the magic world have also become completely corrupt. No matter which side you're on, it's not easy to bypass these brainless guys who only care about their own power and rebuild the stage.

Who would have thought that the magic world, already half-dead, could still create such a commotion through the mouth of this You Know Who?

These established supernatural forces should not be underestimated after all.

In comparison, compared to those world lines plagued by various disasters, the magical girl world line mentioned by the You Know Who at the end can indeed be considered the most harmonious world line.

Although it later involved the survival of another parallel world.

But at least their world is safe.

"So, why don't we all just draw some traditional magical girl anime? Ever since that magical girl anime came out, there haven't been any traditional magical girl anime on the market. They're all depicting magical girls in a dark and cruel direction." Umaru complained in the Chat Group.

"Judging from the You Know Who's words, including the timeline of this magical girl, it seemed to be following a normal route at the beginning, but then it suddenly turned to a heavy topic. It must have been influenced by this."

"However, the concept of the Holy Grail War seems to have some similarities with the Persona," Chizuru Ichinose had just awakened her Persona, said in the group chat.

The Holy Grail War summons famous heroes from human history, and the Persona are also inspired by those heroes and deities.

Her Hassan of the Hundred Personas, Mata Hari of Ai Kisugi, and Tomoe Gozen Sudo Ayami are all such beings.

Although they are essentially the embodiment of their inner will, in another aspect, the attitude and personality they exhibit are quite similar to those of these historical heroes.

As Chizuru Ichinose spoke, Sudo Ayami, who had been spying in the group chat, seemed to remember something as well.

It seems that the You Know Who mentioned Persona to her.

He also said that if there is an opportunity in the future, he might be able to summon the power of Persona from reality through some ritual.

So, was the You Know Who referring to this Holy Grail Ritual at that time?

Summon her Persona in the real world as a Heroic Spirit?

Thinking about this, Sudo Ayami, then expressed his idea in his own words, in a speculative manner.

Sure enough, this idea gained the approval of many people.

Shinomiya Kaguya: "It does seem feasible. After all, the You Know Who said that summoning Heroic Spirits is all about compatibility and artifacts. And from the perspective of compatibility alone, since you have already summoned them in the Impression Space as your Persona, you definitely meet the compatibility requirements."

With that said, Shinomiya Kaguya also started to get Hayasaka Ai to pay attention to things related to holy relics.

Given the You Know Who's personality, he went to Fuyuki City. Although it's unknown what he did there, and he didn't mention it in his diary, he must have brought back quite a few things.

It's possible that a completely new Holy Grail War might actually break out in Tokyo in the future. She hasn't awakened her Persona yet, and it's estimated that unless she encounters her own palace in the Impression Space, it will be very difficult for her to awaken Persona.

In this situation, it's definitely not a good idea to gamble on your compatibility, so it wouldn't be wrong to get some "relics" first as a preparation.

Even without the Holy Grail War, there wouldn't be any problem for her to collect items used by historical heroes as antiques; the Shinomiya Family already had the financial resources for that.

At the same time, Shinomiya Kaguya also glanced at Fuyuki City a few more times.

This place involves forces from the magic world, so it's definitely not suitable for her to go there, but it's still okay to investigate.

She had a feeling that in this story that the You Know Who seemed to value, there would always be a girl who would get the Diary, or at least one of the Diary in the second batch.

It could be a girl who has become a magical girl, or it could be another female Magicians. Investigating in this direction will still be of some use.

However, for her now, neither Aliens nor the existence of another world matter.

Her most anticipated trip was to Morioh in early June.

If she could obtain a Stand from that place, it would obviously further enhance her strength.

Now, half of the girls in the group have expressed their desire to go to Morioh together. I wonder how many of them will be able to awaken their Stands during the trip to Morioh in June.

As Shinomiya Kaguya thought this, the image of Miyauchi Hiyage appeared in her mind again.

This is also an opportunity.

For them, this trip to Morioh was a chance to try their luck and see if they could be selected.

However, it would be strange if a genius like Miyauchi Hiyage, who also possesses power related to destiny, couldn't awaken his Stand.

Similarly, it would be very problematic if Miyauchi Hiyage eventually awakened a Stand with ordinary abilities that had nothing to do with his Destiny Power.

According to the You Know Who, he now has a double, and based on his own description of the double in his diary, a person should only have one double.

Furthermore, looking at the You Know Who's comparison of his own Stand and Kishibe Rohan, it's clear that the You Know Who has some envy for Kishibe Rohan's Stand ability to freely view other people's past and rewrite their will.

He also stated that his Stand ability is average, and since it was a reward from the Diary, it would be difficult for him to complete the Stand's evolution.

Therefore, as long as we see what kind of Stand Miyauchi Hiyage awakens, Shinomiya Kaguya feels that she is at least 50% certain that she can confirm whether there is any connection between Miyauchi Hiyage and the You Know Who.

Chapter 333: The man who assassinated Miyauchi Hiyage is in luck!

After seeing the messages in the group through Shiina Mashiro, Miyauchi Hiyage stroked his chin and began to ponder.

He did have some ideas about the Holy Grail Ritual.

If conditions permit, it is indeed worthwhile to make one.

After all, besides the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, Type-Moon has a considerable number of sub- Holy Grail Ritual, which means that this ritual is not as complicated as imagined. As long as you know the key steps, you should be able to replicate it.

Even the original version of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City seems somewhat outdated compared to the later sub-species Holy Grail War.

The 7 vs 7 Holy Grail War in Romania plus two Ruler-class battles in FA, the absurd fake and genuine Servants in FSF, the Holy Grail War on the Moon in FE, and even the FSR in the Edo period—these sub-species Holy Grail War all seem to have caused a bigger stir than the Fuyuki City.

Furthermore, as the Holy Grail War progressed, the Holy Grail itself became almost irrelevant. Although it was said that Heroic Spirits appeared in the world specifically to obtain the Holy Grail, in reality, very few of them actually obtained it and fulfilled their wishes later on.

To be honest, in the FGO timeline, the old director of Chaldea led Solomon to win the Holy Grail War and then used the Holy Grail to obtain a large sum of money to start a project. However, it was only mentioned briefly in the setting, and the specific details of that Holy Grail War were not directly described.

Although the ritual in Fuyuki City has been almost completely destroyed and sealed by Kiritsugu Emiya and Irisviel, the Holy Grail has not been completely disintegrated. Moreover, he still has the powerful Tohru by his side, as well as the true Quetzalcoatl Lucoa who is about to arrive in this world.

Given their lifespan of tens of thousands of years, figuring out the Heroic Spirit ritual is obviously not a difficult task for them. They could modify the Ley Line in Tokyo and maybe even bring down the Grand Heroic Spirits directly.

If he could recruit a few powerful Servants to work for him, then he wouldn't need to worry about many things.

Tohru locked herself in her room all day, studying the Heroic Spirit Card and the Holy Grail ritual. She was still thinking of replicating this ritual in her own world, hoping to find an opportunity to change the status quo of her world.

If she succeeds in her research, she'll definitely conduct experiments in Tokyo first to see if any problems arise.

In addition to these two dragons, Miyauchi Hiyage also has Jerry, a guy with both divine and demonic traits, under his command.

Miyauchi Hiyage also planned to send a copy of the Holy Grail information to Jerry, to see if Jerry could come up with a Holy Grail Ritual to show off to him.

However, Jerry has been quite busy lately, so he probably hasn't had much time to devote to research.

According to the message it sent, it has infiltrated the Nura Clan, the largest yokai organization in Japan, in less than a month. Now, thanks to its Sealing Technique and its recently awakened Stand, it has already made a name for itself in the yokai world.

Perhaps because Jerry was summoned by Miyauchi Hiyage and is a creature from another world highly bound to Miyauchi Hiyage, he did not receive a completely new Stand.

Its Stand is actually the "Bad Company" Stand awakened by the rat in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4, which has the ability to shoot poison arrows that can dissolve the body of the target it hits.

This thing already injured Kujo Jotaro in the hands of the rat, so it goes without saying that it's in Jerry's hands now. Moreover, it should be a version with greatly enhanced growth potential, and it might even evolve into a later form in the future.

Furthermore, after Miyauchi Hiyage's life level improved, Jerry, who was bound to him, also received an upgrade. Now, he is one step closer to the kind of immortality that is impossible to kill in the Tom and Jerry world.

Using these abilities, Jerry has recently recruited quite a few monster underlings, including a cat monster who has only recently become a monster, and forcibly renamed him Tom as its personal mount.

In a few more days, Jerry will probably be able to set up his own faction within the Nura Clan and become a minor leader.

Anyway, everything seems calm on the Nura Clan's side right now, and there's still some time before the main story begins. Jerry is currently spending all his time building connections and establishing an intelligence network within the yokai community.

I wonder how far this guy will end up in the Nura Clan.

After this trip to Fuyuki City, Miyauchi Hiyage did not intend to cause any further trouble until his trip to Morioh in June.

He went to school peacefully, made videos, and taught a few girls how to use their superpowers.

Katsura Kotonoha was still there, peacefully practicing her swordsmanship, while Shinomiya Kaguya wanted to further refine her control over telekinesis.

Yotsuya Miko would occasionally come over to ask Miyauchi Hiyage to study what other abilities her eyes might have.

Kasumigaoka Utaha also wanted to use the power of Miyauchi Hiyage to help develop her water affinity effect.

Fortunately, the girls had all arranged their time in the group chat, so Miyauchi Hiyage didn't have to deal with too many requests for help at the same time.

Aside from the girls' individual progress in their training, after Kanna gradually became familiar with the world, Miyauchi Hiyage followed Kanna's wishes and transferred her to the Asahigaoka Branch School.

After all, Asahigaoka is his territory, especially the Asahigaoka Branch School. One of the teachers there was someone he hired, and the other is his older sister. No matter what Kanna does at the school, he can cover it up.

Moreover, both Kanna and Miyauchi Renka have very good personalities, and the two people, who look to be about the same age, got along very well when they first met.

After all, both of them are girls with a rather expressionless style, and they are both the type whose minds are full of whimsical ideas. I believe that the two of them going to school together will probably create a lot of sparks.

After that, every morning Kanna had to go to Asahigaoka Branch School to attend school, and then return to Beika Town for lunch after school.

Of course, in name only, Kanna would live in the Miyauchi family Miyauchi Family in Asahigaoka as the younger sister of Miyauchi Hiyage Himekage.

Miyauchi Hiyage had already mentioned his current abilities to his family, and with his help, his family members were making good progress in Ripple Breathing; they could be said to have already achieved initial success.

Then, his family also knew about things such as the fact that the monks at the Kannon Temple noticed the Buddha-nature in Renge and that Honma Meiko became the Mountain God of the Chichibu Region.

After all, the Miyauchi Family had records of the Demon Slayer Corps from a hundred years ago, so they were somewhat accepting of these extraordinary things.

After Miyauchi Hiyage demonstrated exceptional talent, they quickly accepted that their son and younger brother, in this era of Mystery Revival, could now easily travel between Asahigaoka and Beika Town in just over a month, taking only half a minute.

However, it's impossible for Miyauchi Hiyage to take Kanna to Asahigaoka every morning and then pick her up in the evening.

To make travel more convenient, Tohru even set up a small teleportation array between the two places.

The core of this teleportation array is a projected Jewel Sword placed on each side. With such a useful battery, the teleportation array's effectiveness is naturally high.

Furthermore, since there was no need to consider the issue of Mana, Tohru applied a considerable amount of concealment magic to both teleportation arrays, so that when they were activated, they would not generate any special Mana fluctuations that would attract the attention of other superhumans in Tokyo.

Although with their flying speed, even if they flew directly in the air, it would only take them less than a minute to reach Asahigaoka, but that would require them to cast many spells on themselves to prevent others from detecting them, which is obviously not as convenient as using a teleportation array.

Therefore, on the first day, Miyauchi Hiyage took Tohru and Kanna to familiarize themselves with the environment of the Asahigaoka Branch School. Then, he had Tohru set up a teleportation array on the hill behind his own yard, connecting it to the basement of the mansion in Tokyo.

However, Miyauchi Hiyage himself wanted to keep a low profile during this period, but because of his fight with Satoru Gojo, the Jujutsu Society has become quite lively.

Although his fight with Satoru Gojo was not completely public, many students from the Jujutsu High and many teachers went to the training ground to watch the fight that day, so it was impossible to keep the matter completely secret, and some news of it would inevitably leak out.
