Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 69: Headless Murder

Li Xiang and Louis had a pleasant conversation.

He was a very talkative Frenchman.

Just his name was a bit unfortunate.

Their chat promptly stopped when Kashiwagi stepped onto the podium.

Today's class was about "Mythological History."

"As magicians, we cannot simply regard myths as myths, because we understand that the gods once existed, and myths are their records..."

Kashiwagi's voice echoed clearly in the corner of the classroom.

Comparable to the teachers in high school who wore little bees around their waists.

"The significance of studying myths lies in finding the traces they left behind."

After a pause, Kashiwagi said, "If one day you make a discovery, promptly contact the teachers in the Mineral Science Department, and you will receive unimaginable rewards."

The more Li Xiang listened, the more he felt something was off.

Isn't this just grave robbing?

It's just that the objects are gods.

But are you sure it won't attract their attention?

Li Xiang remembered that in the world of Fate, some of the gods returned to nature, while others were still alive.

But they were no longer in this dying world, but in a higher-dimensional seat of the gods.

Coming back was impossible, but affecting the Throne of Heroes and creating a Servant doppelganger was quite simple.

Who knows, maybe the Holy Grail Wars will become more frequent one day.

Just like the timeline in "Fate/Apocrypha."

Li Xiang suddenly thought of the Prayer God Society.

Most of them came from the Department of Spirit Descent.

Summoning Servants was not unfamiliar to them.

Could it be that the Prayer God Society wanted to summon a doppelganger of a god?

And he himself was the vessel for their descent?

After class, Li Xiang bid farewell to Louis and met Astati at the entrance of the academic building.

She was on the phone, saying, "Useless people have no value... No, I'm just increasing your sense of tension."

Li Xiang listened to two sentences and felt that she was different from her usual self.

She seemed colder.

"How is it?"

Astati put away Noah's Ark and asked.

"Not bad."

Li Xiang remembered something and asked, "Senior, is there a shooting club nearby?"

"You want to learn shooting?"

Astati was somewhat surprised. "You should know that magicians detest firearms, right?"

"I know."

In the textbook Astati gave Li Xiang for the Basic Sciences, this taboo was mentioned.

Magicians considered themselves nobles, and they were all old-fashioned.

They didn't accept anything modern.

Such as machinery, mobile phones, computers, and so on.

Only a few younger generation magicians were not so resistant.

"I want to use it for self-defense."

Li Xiang stated his reason, "Inside the Clock Tower, there's no need to worry, but outside, having a gun would be safer."

Anyone who had witnessed Emiya Kiritsugu's performance as a time traveler would not disdain firearms.

After all, he killed a monarch.

Poor Kenneth.

Times have changed, my friend.

Mysterious decline coincides with the rise of technology.

But Li Xiang also understood the attitude of the Mage Association.

Until he became strong enough, he could only secretly play with guns under the covers.

"Follow me."

Astati quickly sat in the driver's seat of the Rolls-Royce.

Li Xiang nodded.

They soon arrived at a shooting club called Black Rose.

After some communication between Li Xiang and the owner, he obtained an automatic pistol.

In Britain, it is commonly known as the Browning M1935 high-powered pistol.

Li Xiang remembers that in "Detective Conan," the favorite gun of the Black Organization member Vodka is this one.

He grips the handgun.

A strong sense of familiarity washes over him.

It's as if he has touched it a million times before.

The boss is preparing to explain the basic techniques, but he sees Li Xiang aiming at a target ten meters away and firing.

He quickly empties thirteen bullets.

"Oh, incredible! They all hit the bullseye!"

The boss can't help but give a thumbs up and says, "With your skill, there's no need for you to practice here."

Astati also glances at him.

"What? I'm pretty accurate."

Li Xiang timely reveals a surprised expression and says, "It seems like I have some talent."

Afterward, with Astati paying, he buys this automatic handgun.

Life goes on peacefully.

Li Xiang spends a very fulfilling academic life at the Mineral Science Department.

He also gets to know some classmates.

But most of the relationships are superficial.

"Li Xiang, are you interested in joining a club?"

After class, Louis says, "The club recruitment event will be held soon because, apart from special admissions and transfer students like you, all the students in the basic sciences will officially graduate and choose to join one of the remaining eleven disciplines."

"Why not recruit them after they enter the Clock Tower?"

"Because many clubs are exclusive to certain disciplines and do not accept students from other disciplines."

"I'm not interested."

Li Xiang shakes his head and says.

"Then you'll miss out on something interesting."

Louis puts his right arm around Li Xiang's shoulder and asks in a low voice, "Do you know about the Witch Club?"

Witchcraft is one of the magical systems in the Plant Science Department and is extremely skilled in making potions.

"What's so special about it?"

Li Xiang doesn't understand.

He doesn't want to learn like Xiao Yan, who refines Yakushi.

"Witches, ah, just seeing these two words can ignite a raging fire."

Louis's eyes seem to glow yellow, and he excitedly says, "I heard that the founder of the Plant Science Department is a real witch, similar to the existence of elves. Their charm is beyond your imagination."

"..."

Li Xiang can't help but be speechless.

At this time, should he say the famous saying of a certain transcendent emperor? The taste of being a witch is really good.

"If you have the chance to go to Miss Liddell's concert, you will understand what I'm saying is not false."

"A concert? Can magicians hold concerts too?"

"Why not? It's Mea Liddell Archelot, the world's number one idol recognized by the Magic Association, the first witch in history to have over a hundred million fans!"

"..."

Li Xiang carefully recalls, but he has no impression.

But he is not interested in idols, so he chooses to refuse.

Louis immediately shows an expression of "what kind of man are you."

Li Xiang just thinks that magic is more interesting.

And his teacher is a witch, a true witch.

After all, she is not considered human.

"If you have time, take me to get the magician's attire."

Li Xiang remembers that Kashiwagi told him that his magician's robe is ready and can be picked up at any time.

"Let's go, but I advise you not to have any expectations for it."

As they walk, Louis complains, "I thought it would be a magical costume, but it's just regular clothes."

Li Xiang instantly loses his sense of anticipation upon hearing this.

He did think it was a magical costume.

A special magician's equipment.

After passing the inspection of the gatekeeper, Li Xiang and Louis enter a warehouse.

It's very large, filled with densely packed shelves.

Louis has had previous experience, so he quickly finds the location for the Mineral Science Department.

Li Xiang looks up to check his name.

Just then, a sound of a heavy object falling is heard.

He turns his head and sees Louis without a head, and a head on the ground.
