Chapter 674 - 674
Magician, Sixth Beast, Princess of the Planet... Haha, who's next?He had a premonition.
These women were bound to have a fight sooner or later!
Hehe, just thinking about that scene made him suddenly excited!
...
Several days later.
The incident was ultimately brushed off with the excuse of a gas explosion.
However, the public was extremely curious about what kind of terrifying gas could possibly blow up the entire Type-Moon Academy, and the forest and giants that appeared during the process seemed to be rubbing their intelligence against the ground repeatedly.
The entire campus of Type-Moon Academy had vanished without a trace, completely gone.
This was, of course, Arcueid's doing. The vortex generated beneath her feet during her rampage compressed the entire campus into a photograph and sucked it into the Reverse Side of the World. There was no hope of restoring it in this lifetime.
As a result, Type-Moon Academy would be on an extended break, and the board of directors immediately began reconstruction.
The scapegoat Gilgamesh was utterly furious.
"Where's Merlin? Where is Merlin? Get out here!"
Eiji rushed to the construction site and roared at the top of his lungs.
The workers exchanged puzzled glances, unsure of what he intended to do.
"Stop shouting. Merlin left a long time ago."
Scáthach walked over with an intensely feminine gait.
"Left? Where did he go?"
Eiji glared at Scáthach, his face filled with frustration.
"How should I know?"
Scáthach shrugged.
"Aside from me, all the higher-ups in this school are irresponsible individuals who run off to various places every day. Today they're in some Singularity, tomorrow in some Lostbelt—no one can say for sure where they are now."
In other words.
Merlin had fled.
"That damn bastard!"
Eiji cursed loudly.
He had been unconscious for several days and only woke up today.
The moment he regained consciousness, he immediately rushed to confront Merlin.
And yet, he still managed to escape!
"If I ever catch him, I'll make him pay!"
Eiji gritted his teeth in anger.
There were very few people in the world who could infuriate him to this extent, and Merlin was clearly one of them.
"Since you're awake now, when do you plan to resume training?"
Scáthach asked Eiji.
"I need to calculate the timing."
She pulled out a hard hat with the words "Safety First" written on it from who-knows-where and put it on her head.
"Are you going to do manual labor?"
Eiji was stunned.
An intellectual beauty on a construction site—the incongruity was overwhelming!
"I'm the site supervisor."
Scáthach let out a long sigh, looking utterly exhausted.
"Didn't I say? All the higher-ups are gone, so I have to step up. And no, I'm not doing manual labor."
I get it.
She's the supervisor who sits around doing nothing but overseeing the workers.
Still, with her beauty, just sitting there would be enough to motivate the workers.
"Don't change the subject. Tell me, when are we restarting training?"
"About that..."
Under Scáthach's urging, Eiji pondered for a moment.
"Let's just fight. It'll be easier to explain that way!"
"Oh? Interesting!"
Scáthach's eyes instantly filled with wild intensity.
"Ever since that day, I've been wanting to spar with you again to see just how far your abilities can go. How about we test it out this time?"
"I thought we agreed you'd graduated? Just like with Arcueid back then, you get way too enthusiastic whenever a fight breaks out, don't you?"
"I've been reflecting on that."
"And you'll do it again next time, right?"
"Shut up!"
Finding a deserted spot, the two quickly entered a bounded field.
Several minutes later.
Scáthach looked down at the demonic spear broken in two in her hand, falling into deep thought.
"...What happened to you?"
"I leveled up again."
Eiji paused before continuing.
"Two levels at once, actually."
That's right.
During his days unconscious, in the DanMachi World, Eiji had already defeated Revis and stepped into the true realm of Twin-Wings, cleared the dungeon, and defeated the final boss, the evil dragon Nidhogg.
Now he had become an Lv.7 adventurer and traveled to the Konosuba World, becoming the Demon King there.
It seemed his other self had been living quite the exciting life while he was unconscious.
In terms of pure strength, the current Eiji undoubtedly ranked among the top Servants - the absolute peak among peaks. His power surpassed ninety-nine percent of all Servants, with only a handful of exceptional freaks capable of firmly overpowering him.
Even without using Absolute GodSpeed, his sword speed had already surpassed Scáthach's spear techniques.
In a moment of carelessness, even Scáthach had suffered a loss.
No, even without that carelessness, Eiji would likely have emerged victorious in the end.
"You have no reason to come here anymore."
Scáthach looked at Eiji with complex emotions.
"There's nothing left for me to teach you."
Eiji, who couldn't learn magecraft or spear techniques, had never been able to inherit her legacy from the beginning.
His training goal had always been to reach the highest realm he pursued under her guidance.
And now that he had successfully reached that realm, she could offer him no further assistance.
Looking back, it had happened remarkably fast.
Taking only about two months to complete his training - this was unprecedented among all the disciples she had ever taught, far surpassing that useless pupil of hers.
"I know."
Eiji nodded silently.
Further training would be pointless.
Because he had now reached his bottleneck, and needed to break through it to reach broader horizons.
From today onward, he no longer needed to train under Scáthach's guidance.
After bidding farewell to Scáthach, Eiji left the rebuilding school campus.
He arrived in the city district, at the penthouse of a skyscraper.
"A-Li, you're here!"
After ringing the doorbell, Mrs. Pendragon warmly welcomed him.
"Auntie, is Black Saber home?"
"She's home. With school unavailable now, she just sleeps all day at home, never going out for a walk..."
Mrs. Pendragon ushered Eiji inside, chattering incessantly about her daughter's shortcomings.
"At least she returned safely, that's what matters."
Eiji comforted her with a smile.
"And we have you to thank for that!"
Mrs. Pendragon looked at Eiji with immense gratitude.
"I heard it was you who braved all dangers to rescue Alter from those prisoners, right? Thank you so much! I don't know what I would have done without you!"
"Who told you that?"
"Your school principal - he personally brought Alter back home."
Eiji was momentarily stunned.
That old bastard Merlin actually didn't take credit for my achievements?
Doesn't he dislike me getting close to the Saber family?
Could this be his way of surrendering?
Dream on!
This is what he should have done in the first place!
It's only natural for the lady to be grateful to me—should I thank him for not cutting out my contributions?
"Alter, Eiji is here to see you!"
The lady called upstairs.
But there was no response for a long time.
"I'll go up and find her."
"I'll prepare lunch. Please stay for lunch today."
"With pleasure."
After chatting for a while longer with the smiling lady, Eiji went up the stairs, arrived at Black Saber's room, and opened the door.
