Washing herself didn't seem quite appropriate. Having a maid help her... now that was a good idea.
"Miss, your clothes."
"Okay, Sella."
A purple little suit, a white pleated skirt, and purple knee-high snow boots. It was a very simple outfit, yet on Illya, it looked exceptionally pure and adorable.
Its only flaw was that it was a little inconvenient to move around in.
"I'll change once we get to Fuyuki City. Changing my outfit now might arouse that old monster's suspicions..."
Su Ning narcissistically spun around in front of the mirror for quite a while before reluctantly leaving the room. With Sella following behind, she headed upstairs toward the Library.
Although she was merely a tool, on the surface, Illya was still the little princess of the Einzbern family. Her status was second only to Acht's, so she was allowed access to places like the Library and the Underground Vault.
After passing through long corridors and staircases, Su Ning arrived at this Library, which covered over a thousand square meters.
The Einzbern family was not only a Mage Family with a history of more than two thousand years, but also the family most proficient in Alchemy throughout the entire Mage World. Though their combat strength was nothing remarkable, their wealth was nearly unrivaled. There were over ten thousand magic books in the Library.
Although most of them were books on Alchemy, there were plenty on other subjects as well, such as Projection Magic and Reinforcement Magic.
That was right. She had come here to learn Projection Magic and Reinforcement Magic.
In other words, Shirou Emiya's Unlimited Blade Works.
I'm From the Fireball Sect, So I Don't Play Fair
In truth, Projection Magic and Reinforcement Magic were both among the most basic categories of magecraft. Even mage apprentices at the Clock Tower could master them easily.
However, merely being able to cast them did not mean one could learn Unlimited Blade Works. The reason lay in one's magical attribute.
Every magus had their own magical attribute.
For example, Sakura Matou's "Void," Zouken Matou's "Water," and Rin Tohsaka's "Five Great Elements."
Shirou Emiya's magical attribute was "Sword." His specialty was creating all kinds of physical weapons, while he was extremely insensitive to energy-based magecraft.
For anyone else to learn Unlimited Blade Works, even understanding its principles would not be enough. They would also need the magical attribute of "Sword." Illya, however, did not have that requirement.
Illya's magical attribute was not the "Circulation" commonly found in the Einzbern family.
As the homunculus closest to Justeaze, the Lesser Grail, her magical attribute was also closest to the Third Magic's "Imaginary Numbers." It could also be called "Omnipotence." Given enough high-quality magical energy, she could create any matter or energy.
Moreover, the things she created would exist permanently. Unlike the Noble Phantasms Shirou Emiya created, they would not vanish once they lost their magical energy supply.
She had displayed this ability when she was very young, though at the time, her magical energy had only been enough to create things like teacups and dinner plates.
Acht had even interfered to ensure that she still did not know what her magical attribute truly was—if Illya became too powerful, she would be difficult to control.
Thus, Unlimited Blade Works, which was easy for others to learn but difficult to master, posed no difficulty whatsoever for her.
"Illya went to the Library? Projection Magic? What does she want to look at that for?"
Acht merely glanced at it and gave it no further thought.
Without the magical attribute of "Sword" or something similar, things created through Projection Magic would be empty shells with only the right appearance. Besides, Projection Magic could only project physical objects, not energy. What use was that?
This required some explanation.
