Chapter 237 Kotomine Shirou’s Assistant
Excluding geniuses like Natsu who have cheat codes.
Whether they are ordinary mages or genius mages, their path to growth is gradual.
This is the normal rate of progress.
Therefore, no matter how Shirou Kotomine trains Marcus and Rachel, at most their progress will be smoother, but it's impossible for them to suddenly soar to new heights.
After all, they have almost passed the stage where they can rapidly improve their strength.
The problems they face on the road ahead will all need to be overcome by themselves.
Therefore, it's impossible for the two of them to have the same strength as Nazgray and others in just a few months.
That's unrealistic.
But Shirou Kotomine guarantees that those he trains will be far stronger than those who were originally on the same path.
But that's a matter for the future.
Now that Shirou Kotomine has figured out their magic level, in addition to providing targeted instruction based on their magic level, Shirou Kotomine is also preparing to teach them another skill.
That is martial arts.
Erza is the strongest fighter in Fairy Tail.
This is a technique she developed through continuous research in order to maximize her abilities.
In Shirou Kotomine's view, it would only be beneficial for ordinary mages to learn martial arts, and there would be no harm in it.
Unlike mages in other worlds, the mages in the Fairy Tail world are not all fragile.
There are far too many mages in the Fairy Tail world who are skilled in hand-to-hand combat.
In this situation, mages who have mastered martial arts can gain more aftereffects during battle.
It also makes it easier to deal with various dangerous scenarios.
Furthermore, martial arts training can further stimulate the body's potential.
Seven years after the original timeline, Ultear, who has reunited with the main characters, plans to repay them by developing a second source of magic.
The so-called second source of magic is actually the untapped potential within the human body's magic source.
In other words, under normal circumstances, the magic source should be able to hold 100% of the magic power, but in reality, the magic source only holds less than 80% of the magic power.
The remaining parts have remained unactivated.
This unactivated space is the second source of magic.
With the development of the second source of magic, the magical abilities of the main characters have been greatly enhanced.
But there is one exception.
That's Erza.
Having never understood the concept of a second source of magic before, her own source of magic had already been fully activated.
This is the result of her continuous practice of martial arts and the training of her body.
However, Shirou Kotomine estimates that not everyone who practices martial arts can reach Erza's level.
After all, Erza is a true genius.
Geniuses often cannot imagine such things.
But that was someone else, not Kotomine Shirou.
After understanding the nature of the second source of magic, Shirou Kotomine knew how to develop it little by little.
Although Shirou Kotomine does not possess Ultear's Arc of Time.
However, he can replace the function of the Arc of Time in other ways.
At most, it just takes him longer.
"Take it slow, you can't get fat in one bite."
"However, I do need an assistant now."
Thinking of this, Shirou Kotomine's lips curled up slightly.
Coincidentally, a renowned teacher is currently sleeping inside Shirou Kotomine's body.
The demigod hero, the legendary sage Chiron.
"Long time no see. Our statuses have changed a lot since then. I don't know how I should address you."
Or shall I address you as Master?
After being summoned by Shirou Kotomine, Chiron, who was already prepared, asked with a smile.
"Can."
Shirou Kotomine doesn't care about how he's addressed.
At this moment, he was concerned about Chiron's attitude.
After explaining his current situation to Chiron, Shirou Kotomine earnestly asked, "Chiron, would you be willing to help me?"
Although Shirou Kotomine was able to completely control Chiron.
But he doesn't intend to do that.
He wanted to become friends with these Servants and gain their genuine help.
After all, I will rely on them a lot in the future.
He would even try to improve their strength.
In this situation, coercion is not a good option.
After hearing Shirou Kotomine's explanation, Chiron did not answer immediately; instead, he focused his attention on his own body.
The body of the cursed spirit.
This is a completely different feeling from that of a Servant.
Chiron, who was once a demigod and possessed divinity, felt this even more deeply.
He sensed the possibility of increasing his strength.
"Since this is another world, why should I refuse?"
Chiron smiled slightly.
Even this world-renowned sage was extremely interested in other worlds.
Besides, his job is simply to continue his old profession as a teacher.
Being a teacher is something he's very familiar with.
"If you're willing, then so be it."
Chiron's answer satisfied Kotomine Shirou.
However, instead of immediately assigning Chiron tasks, he led Chiron deeper into Fairy Tail.
Soon, led by Shirou Kotomine, the two arrived at Fairy Tail's library.
The Fairy Tail guild was destroyed during the battle against Phantom Lord.
Afterwards, the members of Fairy Tail rebuilt the guild.
However, this brand-new guild is completely different from the old guild in some aspects of its layout.
Kotomine Shirou and the other two had only just become familiar with the structure of the new guild.
"This is Fairy Tail's library, where books record the culture, magic, and other aspects of this world."
"If you're going to become a teacher, you should at least improve your own skills first."
"So how about you study here for a while first?"
"
Shirou Kotomine looked at Chiron with a questioning expression.
"Then I will humbly accept your offer."
Chiron agreed.
After all, what Shirou Kotomine said was absolutely correct.
If he doesn't even know the basics of magic, how can he teach others?
Watching Chiron walk into the library, Shirou Kotomine nodded in satisfaction.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine hopes that Chiron can improve his magical skills as soon as possible.
After all, Chiron possesses the powerful skill of "divine wisdom".
He can quickly teach any Chiron skill to other Servants.
In this way, the other Servants can quickly learn the magic of this world, thereby gaining more means of control.
For example, Achilles.
His only flaw is that he lacks a wide-ranging, explosive attack.
But once he supplements his abilities with magic, he will become even more powerful in the future.
The reason it's set in the future is because Achilles is already the strongest being at this point.
In this world devoid of miracles, no one can break through Achilles' defenses.
And there are no legends about Achilles in this world.
Therefore, no one knows where his weakness lies.
In this situation, who could defeat Achilles?
In a sense, "The Unfading Flower of Achilles the Hero" also gave Shirou Kotomine confidence.
As long as there is courage, the flower will never wither. Even if Kotomine Shirou cannot achieve victory, he can still remain invincible.
"I'm really looking forward to the future more and more."
Kotomine Shirou smiled and muttered to himself.
By the time Marcus and Leqi returned, Shirou Kotomine had already finished grading their papers.
"Yes, President, we're back."
Marcus and Leqi looked at Shirou Kotomine, breathless.
They immediately noticed two stacks of graded exam papers on the table next to Shirou Kotomine, along with a pen that was automatically writing on the paper.
"Looks like you guys have pretty good stamina."
Seeing that Marcus and Leqi hadn't completely collapsed, Shirou Kotomine had a rough estimate of their stamina.
However, Shirou Kotomine was not surprised by this.
After all, Fairy Tail used to cause trouble every three days and a major disturbance every five days.
They didn't have enough physical strength, nor did they have that much energy.
"Have some water first. Your return is quite timely. Based on your previous answers, I've already roughly figured out your magical abilities."
"But this is only a rough estimate, so I need to conduct further investigations."
"I'm writing the new test paper now; you'll be done in two minutes."
"Yes."
Marcus and Rachel, who were drinking water from Shirou Kotomine's hands, almost spat it out when they heard his words.
They didn't expect there would be an exam next.
However, out of fear of Kotomine Shirou's authority, the two could only silently accept it.
But their eyes betrayed their feelings.
Looking into those lifeless eyes, Shirou Kotomine couldn't help but smile.
There is no greater torment than this, both physical and mental.
Two minutes later, Marcus and Leqi resumed answering the questions.
This time, the questions set by Shirou Kotomine were many times more difficult than the previous exam.
This quickly plunged Marcus and Leigh into a period of deep thought.
As time passed, human figures began to appear in Fairy Tail, where there had been no humans before.
The first to arrive were the counter staff.
They need to prepare the necessary items first.
When they entered the guild, the first person they saw was Kotomine Shirou, who was gesturing for them to keep their voices down.
Seeing Marcus and Leqi writing something with pained expressions, the receptionist suddenly covered her mouth and laughed silently.
As a guild hostess, she knew her guild members best.
They are all mischievous and playful.
Making them sit down and study quietly is incredibly painful.
Otherwise, the number of main members in Fairy Tail would not be so many.
Makarov is very good at teaching others.
Time passed little by little, and the number of members in the guild increased.
However, upon entering, these members saw the staff gesturing for them to keep their voices down. After learning what had happened, they watched the spectacle with wide smiles.
It wasn't until Marcus and Leqi finished answering the questions and handed their papers to Kotomine Shirou that they suddenly started arguing.
"Haha, Marcus, why are you looking so gloomy?"
"I heard when I arrived that you two ran a whole lap around Magnolia."
"No wonder they both looked so weak and listless."
Hearing the sounds coming from all around, Marcus and Leqi were about to retort.
This was not mockery from his companions.
This kind of banter is a constant presence in Fairy Tail.
However, before the two of them could refute, Shirou Kotomine's voice rang out again.
"Alright, now that you've finished answering the questions, let's go run another lap."
"what?"
Kotomine Shirou's sudden words immediately put Marcus and Leqi into a state of shock.
The two of them turned their necks with difficulty and looked at Kotomine Shirou in disbelief.
"Didn't you just run one lap?"
Leqi asked tremblingly.
"You did run one lap, but that was just a warm-up."
"I won't hide it from you, half of my training for you is physical, and only half is magic."
"And today is just the beginning. I only had you run two laps to get a feel for your physical condition. You'll have a lot more to run in the future."
Kotomine Shirou explained to the two of them calmly.
What can you train by simply running?
They can't train anything.
However, if running is combined with other elements, it can effectively hone the body and lay the foundation for physical development.
In short, for Marcus and Leqi, simply running two laps was just the basics.
The difficulty will only increase in the future.
Of course, Shirou Kotomine won't do these things himself at that time.
He doesn't have time to do these trivial things.
Chiron will naturally be in charge of their physical training at that time.
Although Chiron's understanding of magic in this world is still very shallow, Shirou Kotomine will not let him teach magic for the time being.
For him, physical conditioning was a piece of cake.
This is what he's been doing all along.
Then, Chiron can train them at the same difficulty level as training demigods like Hercules or Achilles.
With Shirou Yanmine around, as long as he doesn't die on the spot, he can save him.
But if it weren't for this, how could it be called devil training?
"So, enjoy these few days of relaxation, and go on your way!"
Kotomine Shirou smiled and waved.
"Yes."
Marcus and Lucky ran outside dejectedly.
They already had a premonition of the nightmare that was about to begin.
After Marcus and Rachel left, looking at the Fairy Tail members gathered there, Shirou Kotomine suddenly thought of something and said, "Everyone, please listen to me."
"Many of you may not know much about my magic, but I want to tell you that I am actually similar to Lucy. We are both mages who can summon non-human creatures to fight."
"It's just that I didn't summon a Celestial Spirit, and I myself am stronger."
"This is definitely more than just a little strong!"
Upon hearing this, the members of Fairy Tail couldn't help but complain.
Although they did not know the true strength of Shirou Kotomine, in their view, Shirou Kotomine was definitely no weaker than Erza.
The difference between Erza and Lucy is something that those who know, understand.
Ignoring the criticism from the crowd, Shirou Kotomine continued, "So please don't be surprised if you see strangers with Fairy Tail patterns on their clothes in the guild recently."
"Because that might be the Servant I summoned."
