At five o'clock in the morning, Bai Ye woke up from his dream.

After rubbing his sleepy eyes, he did not continue to stay in bed, and went straight to the bathroom to wash.

I don’t know when he started, but he was used to getting up at this time. If it were the past, even if he went to school, he would definitely delay until seven o’clock before he would reluctantly get up.

But now it can't be so leisurely.

The day of the Holy Grail War is approaching. Although the routine exercises of daily life cannot make you significantly improve, Bai Ye can feel that his magic skills are becoming more and more proficient.

Doing too much anything becomes a habit, deeply imprinted in your bones.

In the gym, Bai Ye held the wooden knife in both hands, closed his eyes slightly, and quietly controlled the rhythm of his breathing.

Suddenly—when my eyes opened, my sharp gaze like a falcon flashed away.

"The co-ordination begins!"

Bai Ye thought silently in his heart, the magic power surged out of his body and poured into the wooden knife along his arm.

In an instant, the shape of the wooden knife changed at an unimaginable speed.

The original wooden knife was no longer there, but a thin cross blade as thin as a thorny sword appeared in his hand.

Looking at the black keys on his hand, Bai Ye muttered in disappointment:

"Half a second? It's still too slow, and two enhancements are the limit. If you increase it, it's estimated that the time will be extended. If you only have one enhancement, you can project one in tenth of a second. However, the quality of the black key of the one enhancement is too fragile, and it's okay to deal with magicians. If you want to deal with the treasures of the heroic spirit, it will probably be broken after a few times."

Although Bai Ye has been trying his best to hone his projection magic in the past few years since he has had complete magic seals, his imagination is not as good as Shirou Emiya in terms of talent. Therefore, although he can master the structure of objects most efficiently and decompose and reorganize, the recombined items are not much of a high quality.

Unless he comes to take a holy sword to master its structure, although he has the ability to manufacture, he does not have a fundamental design drawing.

"I really envy that guy who actually had the opportunity to observe the composition of the Sword of Victory. Unfortunately, I have not thoroughly studied the "Avalon" of the Holy Sword Sheath, otherwise it would be possible to project "Avalon" at least, and it would be better to have an absolute defense, alas."

Bai Ye ended this morning's exercise with a sigh.

An hour has passed, and you can go to class after breakfast.

When it comes to breakfast, he is really helpless.

He was the only one living in this big house, with neither elders nor servants, and he had to do all the housework himself.

Fortunately, he came here like this before, and he didn't have much trouble getting used to it.

He is now a first-year student in the former high school of Suiqun Academy, and there is nearly a year left before the Holy Grail War begins.

Originally, Bai Ye didn't plan to go to school because he was a senior high school student, so he couldn't stand it when he went to junior high school. Moreover, with that time, he might as well go to Yanfeng Kirei to give him some advice on his black key technology.

Not to mention the magic taught by Kiritsugu, the practical effect of the black key usage technology learned from Kirikiri alone is extremely obvious.

The style tends to be the type of assassin and killer. Although there is a possibility of close combat, it is necessary to avoid being strong and tough with the opponent, and often attacking the opponent's weaknesses from an unreasonable angle.

It can be said that the black keys used by the agent and the matching technology were completely created for the most efficient killing.

Moreover, the people who kill are not just ordinary people, but are often targeted at magicians.

Such pure killing skills happen to be something Bai Ye lacks.

He has the body of a vampire and the super efficient magic transformation brought by dozens of magic circuits. Magic also tends to be close combat. All that is lacking is superb skills and practical experience.

It was precisely because Yan Feng Qirei saw through this that she taught him the black key technology.

Although he didn't know what he was planning, Bai Ye had no theory and refused to learn this technique.

Now, how far he has grown can only be tested by the Holy Grail War.

Soon, Bai Ye arrived at the school and was about to enter the class, but was stopped from behind.

"Emiya."

"......Men Maki?"

Bai Ye looked over and found that the person who called him was Shinji Maki.

With a blue-haired seaweed head and a pretty white-faced appearance, isn’t it just Shinji Maki, the deputy general of the Gudao Department I met last semester?

However, Bai Ye was very confused. Although he joined the Gudao Department, he had no relationship with Shinji Maki. On the contrary, he was not interested in this young and rich second generation and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Shinji Maki doesn't seem to be able to look down on Bai Ye who lives a simple life.

Bai Ye found it strange that he would take the initiative to find him.

"Cough...hehe, Emiya came so early. Don't you go to the Gongdao Department for morning exercise?"

Shinji Maki seemed not used to communicating with Bai Ye, and he thought for a long time before he squeezed out a word of nutrition.

"Minister and I have asked for leave."

Bai Ye responded coldly.

The minister, also known as the main general, is a girl from the same grade, named Mizuko, a female protagonist who is so generous that she doesn't look like a girl.

Bai Ye has made a new breakthrough in the control of the inherent time control with the help of the research results of magic seals. He is in high spirits, so he wants to go back early, so he asked for leave from Mizua Ayako.

"This... I'll say Emiya will not be lazy for no reason."

Shinji Maki smiled dryly and said, his expression was very unnatural.

"Is there anything else for Deputy General Matsuki? The exam is coming soon, and I still need to review."

Bai Ye frowned and asked calmly.

The implication is to say ‘Tell me quickly if you have something to say’.

"You..." Shinji Maki is not an idiot. Of course, he could hear the implicit meaning of Bai Ye's words, and his cheeks twitched, and he was quite angry.

Just when Bai Ye thought he would say a few harsh words and then left, he found that he had suppressed his anger and barely pulled out a smile and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but there is someone who wants to see you. Just when the afternoon break is on the rooftop, please be sure to agree."

Bai Ye is increasingly confused about what Shinji Maki is thinking. Anyone wants to see him? Who will it be?

While thinking, he replied, "Who wants to see me?"

"You will know after you go, I'll just help me with a message."

"Oh, then you can tell me and say I won't go."

“What……what.”

When Shinji Maki's face changed drastically when he heard Bai Ye's cold refusal, he seemed to remember something that scared him. His forehead was covered with sweat and he looked very anxious.

"Wait, Emiya. Please consider it, just meet."

"Since you said you were just meeting each other, then what's there to care about?"

Bai Ye said, and had already seen Shinji Maki's performance, thinking in his heart.

"Please, I beg you, Emiya, just go once, this time."

Shinji Maki was so anxious that he almost cried.

Judging from his appearance, if he pretends, then he will definitely be the world's number one actor.

At least Bai Ye didn't believe he could pretend to be so similar.

It seems that someone really wants to see him, and that person is someone that Shinji Maki is afraid of.

Is it that old monster, Maki Yuyan? No, if it is him, he wouldn't have made an appointment to meet on the rooftop. That would be too ostentatious. But since you choose to be in school, there is nothing to worry about.

So Bai Ye thought for a while and said, "I understand. I will go to the rooftop when I rest at noon."

Upon hearing this, Shinji Maki was immediately delighted, his face turned from white to red, and his eyes looked at Bai Ye like he was looking at his life-savior.

"Thank you very much, then I won't bother you."

Fearing that he might say something that would change the other party's mind, Shinji Maki hurriedly said goodbye.

Looking at his back, Bai Ye showed a thoughtful expression.

Then walk into the class, sit in your seat and take out the book to start reviewing.

He didn't lie, he was indeed about to take the exam.
Chapter completed!
