Shinji Matou At Your Service

Chapter 8: Training

Views:

A new life begins.

At 5:30 in the morning, Justisa would wake Shinji up on time, and then Shinji would knock on the doors of each room to wake up his sleepy father, uncle and sister, and then the whole family would do morning exercises together.

Whether as an ordinary person or as a magician, a good body is indispensable. This is the first lesson that the new magic teacher of the Matou family, Justisa, teaches her three students.

Justisa was created to reproduce the third magic. Although she mastered the third magic, her fragile body and the characteristics of the artificial human that could not grow restricted the magic that should have been synonymous with "miracle" to a limited range. Justisa did not want the three students to repeat her mistakes, especially Shinji who had made a contract. If he wanted to freely use the treasure he got from Perseus, a good physique was the top priority.

Shinji and Kariya both had the intelligence of adults, and they knew what Justisa was up to, so they responded positively. Although Sakura was a little sleepy, she got up and cooperated with Shinji and Kariya's half-coaxing and half-supervision, and soon got used to it.

The only one who complained was Tsuruya, the only ordinary person in the family. There was no need for him to train, but Shinji was upset to see him sleeping alone until noon, so he dragged him into the morning exercise team.

To be honest, it is difficult to get someone who often stays high until late at night to wake up early, but Shinji has a way - coercion and inducement.

Threat: If you don't get up early to exercise, Ying and I will go to make trouble at night. I'll see how you can pick up girls with two burdens. If that doesn't work, I'll let Yustisa stare at you. I don't believe you will still have the heart to drink when she stares at you expressionlessly.

Inducement: This is for your own good. If you want to party every night, how can you do it without a good physique? Have you seen Yustisa? She hardly sleeps, but she is still radiant. Aren't you envious? Don't you want to try the exercise method she teaches? Besides, there is no harm in trying.

With this two-pronged approach, He said goodbye to his wonderful nightlife and joined the morning exercise team.

The first morning exercise is morning jogging. Starting from the Matou family’s residence, go south along the streets of the residential area, turn east when you reach the main street, circle the residential area, and then return to the Matou family.

The morning jogging route was specially planned by Shinji. Not only was the road condition good, the environment was great, but more importantly, this route would allow one to pass by the front door of the Tousaka family. This would not only satisfy a mother's wish to see her daughter, but also give Sakura the opportunity to see her sister and mother. It would also provide the best comfort and motivation for Kariya, the best backup in Fuyuki City, and at the same time show Tousaka Tokiomi the attitude of the Matou family. This was like killing four birds with one stone.

By the way, in order to prevent being discovered by the Tosaka family or the Einzbern family, Yustiza never showed up in public. Including Shinji himself, everyone in the Matou family was hinted not to reveal any information about Yustiza to the outside world.

Shinji's plan was not in vain. About a week later, a gentle and beautiful woman appeared by the window on the second floor of the Toosaka family. Seeing this figure, Sakura would smile especially happily, and Kariya would become especially serious. Shinji knew that it was Toosaka Aoi.

The next day, a cute girl with twin ponytails appeared beside Toosaka Aoi, waving excitedly at Sakura and Kariya. She was Sakura's sister, Toosaka Rin, the future head of the Toosaka family.

On the third day, Toosaka Aoi and Rin came directly to the front door of the house and greeted the group in a dignified manner - accompanied by a man in a red suit and a mustache on his chin. There was no doubt that he was the current head of the Toosaka family, the fifth generation head Toosaka Tokiomi.

The first time Shinji saw this man, he knew why Kariya was such a failure in relationships.

Whether in appearance, temperament, or behavior, the aristocratic Tokiomi is much better than the rebellious loser Kariya. Kariya was reluctant to bring his beloved woman into the insect warehouse, so he hesitated to move forward until he lost the only advantage of the childhood sweetheart system. It is reasonable for him to be defeated by Tokiomi, who was sent from heaven.

However, Shinji, who knows Tokiomi's true nature and follows the famous saying of the second dimension "Everything is Tokiomi's fault", has no good impression of him. Compared with Kariya, who can laugh and get angry, Tokiomi, who always maintains elegance, always makes people feel hypocritical and unreal. The most obvious manifestation is the seemingly peaceful but actually arrogant greeting with Tsuruya, and the deliberate suppression of Tosaka Aoi and Rin's closeness to Sakura.

In Tokiomi's opinion, since Sakura entered the Matou family, she was a member of the Matou family and should not be bound by past family ties. This attitude hurt the young Sakura and made the anger accumulated in Kariya's heart even more intense. If he had not taken Aoi, Rin, and Sakura into consideration, he might have exploded on the spot. Although the result would definitely be Kariya's defeat, this genuine and unpretentious attitude made Shinji more convinced that his approach was right.

Since then, Kariya has become even more desperate, almost to the point of working day and night. Whether it is the systematic intensive training after morning exercises or the magic courses afterwards, Kariya has completed them all in excess, and has fainted from exhaustion more than once, forcing Justissa to waste her precious magic power to treat her - although Justissa was able to appear in the world in a similar way to a Servant by relying on the contract with Shinji, from the moment she appeared in the world, Justissa lost contact with the Holy Grail system, and the magic power for using magic was all provided by Shinji.

There are two sources of magic power for a magician. One is to use magic circuits to convert one's own life force into magic power. The other is to go a step further and use the body as a converter to absorb magic power from the outside world and create magic power that humans can also use.

The magic power that the latter can generate is much greater than that of the former, and it is also much more difficult. Only excellent magicians can master this technique.

Shinji's magic circuits are first-rate in both quality and quantity, but because he cannot draw magic power from the outside world, relying on his own magic power is only enough to maintain the daily consumption of Justissa. Further use of magic will increase Shinji's burden. After several consecutive times, Shinji had to set a limit for Kariya to avoid slowing down his training progress.

Of course, Kariya's desperate efforts were not without benefits. In addition to his own rapid improvement in strength, Shinji and Sakura also worked harder under his influence and made gratifying progress.

Three months later, Kariya was able to perform simple magic independently, and soon Shinji and Sakura also reached this level.

Half a year later, Kariya inherited the magic seal of the Matou family. After Zouken turned himself into a bug, the magic seal was kept separately. Shinji and Sakura were still young, so it was not appropriate for them to receive the seal too early. Kariya was the best candidate. From the moment the seal was engraved on his body, Kariya could be called a magician - a rookie level. This also meant that the management of the spiritual land of the Matou family was back on track, and Tsuruno no longer had to make excuses for this matter to business partners from all over the world.

Nine months later, Shinji also became a rookie-level magician.

On the day he became a magician, a strange red emblem appeared on his body.

PS: In terms of magician qualifications, Waver is not as good as Shirou, but Shirou has a hard time supporting Saber, while Waver is able to support Rider just fine, which shows the importance of obtaining magic power from the outside world.

PS2: After all, Kariya has a certain foundation, so it is normal for him to produce results faster than Shinji and Sakura.

PS3: Just look at the aftereffects of Rin receiving the mark and you will know that magic marking is not so easy to bear.
