Everyone's Here

Even though she was now a ghost and didn't need to rest, and even her magic was supplied by Mephistopheles, making it abundant, she still felt a sense of powerlessness rising from the depths of her heart when she saw so many documents to process.

She suddenly understood why Mephistopheles had made her return here as a ghost—because only a ghost could have more time than a human to deal with so many messy things!

Humans need rest, but ghosts don't!

Even if she wanted to find reasons like insufficient magic or being tired, she couldn't even come up with such a reason because Mephistopheles was the magic supplier.

After all, Mephistopheles's magic power is more than enough; there's no way it could be lacking.

Olga Marie took a weak breath and asked, "I heard that Mephistopheles took Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight to training?"

"Yes, Director, Mephistopheles, Ritsuka Fujimaru, and Mash Kyrielight are all training. It's said that Mephistopheles suggested it. These past few days, they've been rarely seen except for mealtimes."

"They're all in the training room?"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this answer, Olga Marie immediately had an idea, a way to let her rest!

"Tell me about their training room, I want to go see how their training is going."

Why not just use checking on the training progress as an excuse to go see the show? That's a perfectly normal excuse. After all, it's the director's responsibility to care about the daily training of the investigators. Her statement that "she went to the scene for a few hours because she was worried about the investigators" is naturally part of her work, not a break or slacking off!

After obtaining the address of Mephistopheles and the others' training location from the staff, Olga Marie immediately stood up from her chair and headed towards that place.

However, she didn't walk too fast. The time spent walking was naturally considered part of her working hours, so she could walk slowly, allowing herself to rest and relax.

Finally, after walking for about four or five minutes, she arrived at her destination, the place where Mephistopheles and the others were training.

Upon entering, the first things she saw were Romani and Leonardo da Vinci.

"What are you doing here instead of going to work?" Olga Marie asked.

Romani and Leonardo da Vinci both looked at Olga Marie as she entered, and upon hearing her words, they both showed puzzled expressions.

"Strange, why is the director here?"

"Could it be that she's trying to slack off?!"

Neither of them would voice their true thoughts; Romani simply said, "Let's observe from here and see if we can gain anything."

Olga Marie asked with some confusion, "The harvest?"

Leonardo da Vinci then spoke up, "Yes, we've gained a lot. Whether it's the application of power or new weapons, there's a great deal of knowledge here. If I can learn it, it will definitely make Chaldea stronger."

Seeing that these two were actually there to work, Olga Marie immediately straightened her back and said, "I'm here to visit too. After all, they are explorers, so I need to keep an eye on their condition."

Then, she looked towards the field.

In the arena, Mephistopheles held a longsword that shimmered with light—a sword formed from converging flames. Just looking at that flaming sword, one could feel its immense magical power.

Similarly, Mash Kyrielight was also surging with powerful magic, and her shield emitted a faint light, as if she had entered a state of liberation.

As for Ritsuka Fujimaru, she held a sword in her hand, and her speed was extremely fast, exceeding the speed of sound in an instant. She began her attack on Mephistopheles with this inhuman speed.

Her attacks were extremely fierce and frenzied, each strike delivered at top speed, yet Mephistopheles dodged them all.

Mash Kyrielight also attacks with her shield, and her speed is much faster than that of ordinary Servants. In fact, her attack power is also much stronger than that of ordinary Servants.

If someone in the past could reach Matthew's current strength and then tell Olga Marie that she was a Demi-Servant, Olga Marie definitely wouldn't believe it, because the current Mash Kyrielight's strength is actually much stronger than that of ordinary Servants, and is even close to that of a top-tier Servant.

However, no matter how much the two attacked, Mephistopheles would always easily dodge and then counterattack with his flaming sword, each strike infused with incredibly violent fire power!

Faced with this violent attack of fire power, the two could only dodge as much as possible, and would only try to stop it when they could no longer avoid it.

Then, this back-and-forth, chase-and-push battle, or rather training, actually lasted for four hours!

They fought for four hours straight without any pause!

After the four-hour battle was over, Mephistopheles and the others put away their weapons and walked towards the group of people who were watching the fight.

"How was your rest, Director?" Mephistopheles's first words upon arriving made Olga Marie blush.

It wasn't because she was shy, but because the other person had discovered that she was slacking off, which made her a little annoyed.

"I came to observe your training and see if you encountered any problems. That was my job. Since you have no problems, my job is naturally done."

As she spoke, she turned to leave.

Seeing this, Mephistopheles didn't say anything more that might anger them, and instead looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight: "How are you feeling?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru said, "I feel that I am more comfortable controlling the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi now. Even without drawing the sword, I can gain a certain degree of physical enhancement. However, I still find it a bit difficult to learn how to perform magical attacks while fighting hand-to-hand."

"It's alright, we still have time, enough for you to master it in the next few days!"

"As for me, I can now stabilize the Holy Grail's mana supply as much as possible, and my enhancement True Magic won't fail due to some lack of familiarity," Mash Kyrielight added. "I can even ensure that the power of my Noble Phantasm is always ready to be unleashed, making it easier to deal with more and stronger attacks."

Mash Kyrielight's words made Mephistopheles nod slightly. Although Mash Kyrielight was a Servant, she was still human. She had no problem learning True Magic, and after learning True Magic, she had no problem maintaining the True Magic incantations on her body by relying on the magic power supplied by the Holy Grail.

At the same time, by using the magic of the Holy Grail to keep the Noble Phantasm in a slightly released state for a long time, one can greatly enhance one's own strength.

If this state can be further studied, there is a great chance that the full-power output state after Noble Phantasm release can be changed into a state that can be maintained normally in the future.

However, this step should be taken gradually and cannot be rushed.

As for Ritsuka Fujimaru, although she can't attack with True Magic spells, maintaining some True Magic spells on herself for passive protection shouldn't be a problem.

It could be said that after this period of training, Mephistopheles estimated that even if something unexpected happened to him, these two should be able to easily handle the crisis and save Chaldea and the world.

While these few individuals gained something, the other two were not so lucky. Romani and Leonardo da Vinci felt that they had only watched various cool battles over the past few days and had not gained anything else.

They didn't understand either the True Magic formulas or the equipment called "Spirit Dress," which resembled formal attire or Noble Phantasm.

Its bizarre production method and the immense power it displays are simply incomprehensible.

Even though they had felt the immense power within the Ame no Murakumo no Tsurugi immediately after its creation, both Leonardo da Vinci and Romani found it somewhat difficult to accept.

If any weapon could be this powerful, instantly granting an ordinary person the ability to move and fight at supersonic speeds, and even strengthening their physical body to prevent being crushed by their own supersonic power.

Then what's the point of the Holy Grail War?

Why summon Servants at all?

What is the purpose of Chaldea's continuous research into summoning Servants over the years?

The fighting force to save humanity? Just make some weapons for Magecraft or weapon masters and let them fight to save humanity.

"Alright, I know you two haven't learned much yet, but this wasn't really suitable for you. Unless you start learning from the theoretical basics..." Mephistopheles advised, "If that doesn't work, start with the beginners. I have some introductory True Magic books here, free of charge. I can give them to you if you want."

Upon hearing Mephistopheles's words, the two men's eyes lit up.

"Want!"

Why didn't you say so sooner?!

Mephistopheles took out two books and handed them to the other person; calling them books was a stretch; they were really just a few sheets of paper bound together.

As for the total amount of paper, it's probably only a few dozen pages.

As someone who has taught a lot of people, Mephistopheles has this kind of teaching material, and quite a lot of it.

Two more days passed. During these two days, Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mash Kyrielight continued their training, Olga Marie remained buried in documents, and Romani and Leonardo da Vinci simply disappeared.

They were working at their jobs while reviewing the notes Mephistopheles had given them, and for the time being, they didn't have time to come over and observe this training.

Finally, the time for them to set off again arrived.

The familiar feeling, the familiar light—by the time everyone realized it, they had arrived at their destination.

This was on a ship, and the ship was naturally on the sea. Looking at where he had landed, Mephistopheles whistled.

"It didn't fall directly into the sea? That's quite precise."

Mash Kyrielight immediately said, "This is the year 1573 AD, but the location is Oceanus, which is a fictional ocean region..."

"Oceanus?" Ritsuka Fujimaru, somewhat puzzled. Mephistopheles replied, "Oceanus, the sea god, is a figure from Greece mythology. But for him to be in a place like this, is it some kind of distorted region?"

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared on the deck.

It was a pirate, and he looked rather unfriendly. He suddenly drew his weapon and pointed it at the group. "Who are you?! Put down your weapons right now, or else..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sword was already pressed against the pirate's brow. Mephistopheles, seemingly out of nowhere, had already grasped the War God's Sword and appeared before the pirate.

"Otherwise what?" Mephistopheles asked.

The pirate shuddered and immediately dared not utter a word.

He smiled and said, "I... I mean, you don't have to let go."

"Very good, I like smart people like you." Mephistopheles patted the other person's shoulder lightly. "We just plan to stay here for a while until we get ashore. You don't mind, do you?"

Mephistopheles smiled, and in another instant, the short sword in his hand was already aimed at another figure that had appeared.

"Don't even think about running away, don't take any chances. If you don't do your job properly, I don't mind leaving a bunch of corpses in this sea!"

Mephistopheles's words were clearly a threat, and that was exactly the kind of threat these pirates feared most.

Because Mephistopheles seemed incredibly powerful, far beyond their capabilities, and judging from Mephistopheles words, he appeared to be a ruthless and cruel person—the kind of person you absolutely cannot offend. If you do, you might not even know how you died.

So they immediately nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, everyone, we will definitely sail the boat carefully and take you to a beautiful island!"

Seeing their reactions, Mephistopheles chuckled inwardly. He had only been faking it; he hadn't expected them to be so cooperative. It was truly wonderful.

That way, I can rest for a while and wait to get ashore.

However, before Mephistopheles could even close his eyes and pretend to doze off, he heard a startled cry from the sky.

"Make way! Move aside!"

Mephistopheles quickly opened his eyes and saw a voluptuous woman falling from the sky!

Upon seeing that familiar face, and that unforgettable figure that no other woman could match, Mephistopheles knew that the other person had come to find him!

He leaped up and hugged the other person, who then took the opportunity to hug his neck in return.

"I've finally met you!" The goddess's words were full of joy, and she expressed her longing without reservation.

She let herself cling to Mephistopheles in this affectionate way.

The moon goddess Artemis has actually appeared directly in this Singularity!

Chapter 156 They've All Arrived

Artemis's appearance was a surprise, but Mephistopheles soon discovered a problem.

"Your power?"

"Because it's a Servant summon, as a god, I'm bound to be restricted, so my current strength is greatly reduced!" Artemis pouted somewhat unhappily, continuing to let herself hang on Mephistopheles.

"But if I can meet you, then forget it. Being a little weak is fine, it doesn't matter!"

Mephistopheles and Artemis landed on the ship, naturally attracting the attention of others.

Artemis's attire was similar to that she had been in Greece, making her exceptionally attractive, at least to the pirates.

Mephistopheles glanced at the group and warned, "If you don't want to die, you'd better not think about anything."

Are you jealous?

"Um!"

"Whee!"

Artemis tightened her grip, and at that moment, Mash Kyrielight and Ritsuka Fujimaru, who had rushed over, also witnessed this scene.

Not only them, but also the people in Chaldea who were communicating via communicator witnessed this scene.

"Who... who is this?!" Olga Marie exclaimed.

"Who is this?" Mash Kyrielight asked, looking at Artemis, a voluptuous and lovely woman, with some confusion.

Ritsuka Fujimaru, on the other hand, looked on with amusement. Although she was also curious, she knew the answer would come out on its own soon, and she didn't need to ask.

"This is a Servant! Clearly a Servant's reaction!" Romani exclaimed at this moment. "And the stats are very high, definitely a top-tier Servant. Judging from the class, it should be Archer!"

"Archer that Mephistopheles is very familiar with, isn't that Atalanta?" Olga Marie became increasingly puzzled.

But Romani's expression changed; he became serious and said in a low voice, "No, there's actually another one. Mephistopheles mentioned it in his report..."

Olga Marie was taken aback at first, then she also thought of one of the people mentioned in the report.

"No way?!"

"Of course!" Mephistopheles said, interrupting Romani and Olga Marie's conversation. "Just as you guessed."

Artemis herself was a product of Gawain, so she naturally understood Chaldea's communication device immediately and didn't ask any questions.
