In 2004, during winter, the island nation's Fuyuki City was as peacefully uneventful as ever.

The grounds of Holy Assumption Academy felt a bit chilly in the gentle breeze due to the arrival of winter. Autumn had long passed, and the trees that had been a riot of red not long ago now carried a hint of winter's touch.

At the entrance of Holy Assumption Academy, well past dismissal time, most students had already gone home. Only one boy with silver hair, wearing the Holy Assumption Academy uniform, kept glancing back at the school grounds, as if waiting for someone.

The setting sun had already begun its slow descent, its lingering glow painting the clouds in the sky. A bright moon hung overhead, though night had yet to fully descend.

Yu Feng glanced into the school yard, and seeing no sign of the person he was waiting for, let out a soft sigh. He wrapped his clothes tighter around himself, preparing to leave.

"Hey! Idiot! Wait for me a bit longer!"

At that moment, an indignant voice reached Yu Feng's ears.

Yu Feng turned his head and first saw a girl with twin tails walking towards him. Then he noticed her angry expression and her displeased, clear blue eyes.

Yu Feng indifferently turned back, "I've been waiting for you for so long, you're just too slow."

"Huh? Is that how you talk to girls? Your emotional intelligence is really low!" Rin Tohsaka's blue eyes held a hint of displeasure.

Yu Feng retorted unceremoniously, "I don't think you're really a girl."

"Devil Muscle Rin isn't just a joke, you really think I don't know that?"

Yu Feng grumbled inwardly.

Smack!

"Ouch!" Yu Feng cried out in pain, looking at Rin Tohsaka with dissatisfaction.

"You..."

Yu Feng was about to ask "What are you doing?" but seeing Rin Tohsaka's displeased expression, he feared she might hit his head again. He immediately swallowed his words.

"My bad, okay?"

"People must bow their heads when under another's roof. Sigh, it's all Tokiomi Tohsaka's fault for raising such a tsundere daughter," Yu Feng thought resentfully.

Rin Tohsaka let out a tsundere snort and turned her head away.

Yu Feng rubbed his slightly sore head and muttered with dissatisfaction, "You were the one who hit Matou's face, got called in by Kuzuki for a lecture, and then made me wait for you."

"Hm?" Rin Tohsaka's gaze sharpened as she looked at Yu Feng. Yu Feng immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say anything more.

Rin Tohsaka was the next-generation head of the Tohsaka family, one of Fuyuki's Three Great Families, after Tokiomi Tohsaka was betrayed by Kirei Kotomine. However, in this generation, the Tohsaka family of the Three Great Families was beginning to fall behind the other two. It could even be said that the entire Tohsaka family was now down to just Rin Tohsaka.

Looking at the Einzbern and Matou families next door, they at least had remaining clan members. In contrast, the entire Tohsaka family, not counting Sakura who was adopted into the Matou family, only had Rin Tohsaka left.

As for Yu Feng, he was merely an ordinary classmate who was temporarily staying at Rin Tohsaka's house.

Although he was just staying there, Yu Feng felt like he was being treated as a servant whenever he was at Rin Tohsaka's place, which he found quite strange.

The reason Yu Feng ended up staying at Rin Tohsaka's house was purely due to an accident. Yu Feng had seen some of Rin Tohsaka's little secrets, and she had used that as leverage to make him live with her.

However, no matter how he looked at it, Yu Feng felt as though Rin Tohsaka had recruited him as a servant, almost as if it were premeditated.

Yu Feng and Rin Tohsaka returned to Rin Tohsaka's small villa together.

Yu Feng was currently residing at Rin Tohsaka's home.

Rin Tohsaka gave Yu Feng a sharp look, and hidden within her eyes was an unidentifiable expression that Yu Feng didn't notice. Seeing this, Yu Feng wisely retreated to his room.

Rin Tohsaka's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but she quickly hid it well.

Back in his room, Yu Feng sighed helplessly. He waved his hand in front of him, and a virtual screen, visible only to him, immediately appeared.

On it was a progress bar, which was stuck at "99%".

"It's been stuck at 99% for five days, why isn't it moving?" Yu Feng muttered helplessly, looking at the virtual screen before him.

Suddenly, the 99% progress bar finally changed, moving directly to 100%.

Yu Feng's face lit up with joy. It was ready!

"Heroic Spirit Life Simulation System successfully bound to host!"

"The function of this system is Heroic Spirit Life Simulation. It can extract the abilities of one character from each Heroic Spirit life simulation! Furthermore, there is only one Heroic Spirit life simulation opportunity every three days!"

"Refresh time is 4:00 AM every three days!"

"Do you wish to start the Heroic Spirit Life Simulation?"

These few concise sentences allowed Yu Feng to quickly understand the functions of his system.

This system could simulate life in any timeline, any world, any location, and any time within the Nasuverse.

Once the simulation was complete, the simulated self would become a Heroic Spirit and enter the Throne of Heroes.

No, it was also possible that they might not enter.

A Heroic Spirit was a hero whose great deeds remained as legends after their death, becoming an object of worship, and transforming into existence.

If he were to live an ordinary, unremarkable life in the simulation, he would not enter the Throne of Heroes.

At the same time, he could also choose to obtain a portion of his simulated self's abilities.

"Start Heroic Spirit Life Simulation!" Yu Feng said without hesitation.

"Please select your talents! (Note: Only three out of five talents can be chosen! And talents are divided into levels: White, Blue, Purple, Gold, Red!)"

(ps: As this is the host's first simulation, you are informed that the current simulation period is the Arthurian Era, when magic is about to disappear!)

Sword Heart Clarity (Gold): You are naturally enlightened to all things related to the sword. You possess a unique understanding of the sword, and no one can surpass you in the way of the sword!

Chivalric Spirit (Blue): You will possess the eight virtues of a knight and will absolutely not betray them! However, this might become a burden for you in this malevolent modern age.

Magecraft Talent (White): You have great talent in magecraft, but similarly, you only have talent, and talent is always limited.

Dragon Bloodline (Purple): You possess the bloodline of a dragon! It may not be very useful in the modern age when magic is disappearing, but in the Age of Gods, it will be a powerful aid for you!

Yin-Yang Reversal (Blue): Male to female, female to male, you get it.

Looking at the five talents before him, Yu Feng didn't hesitate at all and was the first to discard Yin-Yang Reversal.

Yu Feng would rather go find death at the Matou household than choose this cursed Yin-Yang Reversal. Let whoever wants it take it.

Looking at the five talents before him, one had already been discarded, leaving four.

Sword Heart Clarity was a definite pick, after all, it was a gold-tier talent, and no matter how you looked at it, it was very suitable for simulation. Chivalric Spirit could be kept.

Since the simulator also mentioned that the simulation would go up to the Arthurian Era, Chivalric Spirit could be kept.

However, he was a bit hesitant between Magecraft Talent and Dragon Bloodline.

Looking at the two, if it were the Age of Gods, Dragon Bloodline would be far superior to Magecraft Talent, because in the Age of Gods, Dragon Bloodline would be much better than Magecraft Talent.

After all, the Arthurian Era was not entirely without divine elements; they had only declined, and the mysteries of Britain had not completely faded.

Therefore, he was a bit hesitant between Dragon Bloodline and Magecraft Talent.

Yu Feng worried that during the declining period of the Age of Gods, Dragon Bloodline might not be able to unleash its full potential, but he also felt that the declining period of the Age of Gods was still considered the Age of Gods.

After hesitating for a while, Yu Feng still chose Dragon Bloodline.

Although in an era where magic was disappearing, Dragon Bloodline couldn't compare to Magecraft Talent, it was still Dragon Bloodline, far superior to Magecraft Talent.
