Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

Chapter 404 Masters



Fuyuki Academy is a high school in Fuyuki City, which has been dragged into the Abyss, causing a power outage. Thus, under the twilight, the academy is devoid of even the faintest light.

At this time, several large pots are placed on the playground, set upon makeshift stoves stacked with stones, with kindling wood burning beneath them.

The crackling sound of the burning firewood mixed with the smoke and the scent of the food cooking in the pots permeates the air with a rustic aroma of hearth and home.

At the school gate, an energetic female teacher, in a rather hearty voice, shouted at the students as they returned one by one,

"You've all worked hard, have a good meal at school before going home tonight, it will be ready soon."

Taiga Fujimura is a teacher at Fuyuki Academy and also the head of Fuyuki's largest organization, the Fujimura Group. She once had a crush on Shirou Emiya's adoptive father, the previous Master of Saber, Kiritsugu Emiya, and she is also Shirou's guardian.

However, in everyday life, it is Shirou, with his maxed-out domestic skills, who ends up taking care of her.

Now that Fuyuki has lost contact with the outside world, because of the influence of the Fujimura Group, what she says now carries more weight than even the mayor of Fuyuki City.

Indeed, it is the members of the Fujimura Group who have taken up organizational work now.

Also, because the members of the Fujimura Group have taken over, and because Fuyuki is genuinely known for its honest folk, there hasn't been any turmoil following these events, and the overall situation has remained stable.

Otherwise, if there was further internal chaos, things would be dire.

The students and members of the Fujimura Group, who had been running around all day, now let out cheers, working together and then dining together, which also brought about a sense of ritual.

Especially under the current oppressive atmosphere, only huddling together can one feel warmth and reassurance.

"My legs are about to break..."

Rin Tohsaka rubbed her calves, her face collapsing, and then cast a glance at Tao Yu and Treya, who were not at all out of breath, further confirming her assessment.

These two...

But as Rin Tohsaka stepped into the school, she suddenly felt a sense of oppression. A barrier?

She turned to look at Tao Yu and Treya immediately.

No, that's wrong, there wasn't one this morning, and today they were both in plain sight helping out.

Could it be a barrier set up by their Heroic Spirits? Or by another Magician?

Tao Yu, stepping into the school, also felt something different, and Treya, being strong in Meditation Technique, frowned as well.

This expression also caught Rin Tohsaka's eye, leading her to conclude that it indeed wasn't them.

Tao Yu immediately made an association,

"Although the entire Fuyuki is in disarray, Shinji is still the same as ever."

For Tao Yu, the feeling towards Matou Shinji was one of sheer disgust; he didn't know Shinji had assaulted Sakura, but from the two parts Tao Yu had seen, he felt Shinji was a scumbag.

Now it was probably because he didn't have enough magical power to sustain a barrier, so he was using people's life force to feed his Heroic Spirit, Rider of the Rider class, Medusa.

It seemed like he was controlling Rider with a certain book.

But for now, the barrier seems to have just formed and hasn't started harming the people inside.

"I feel something's off about the atmosphere here, it's like there's danger lurking."

Treya, unaware of these details, simply frowned and voiced her concern. She couldn't explain why, but something felt wrong.

This expression let Rin Tohsaka overhear and she felt a greater fondness for Treya, thinking this Magician wasn't so bad.

"Oh dear, oh dear, you're all back, and who is this stunning beauty you found? I haven't seen her around before."

At that moment, a rather sneaky-sounding voice came along; it belonged to Shinji Matou with his blue hair.

His gaze was fixed on Treya, his face all smiles.

Considering their ages, Tao Yu, Treya, and this group of students were not so far apart.

Treya also looked somewhat disgustedly at Shinji.

"Shinji, this is a volunteer who helped us on the road."

As always, Shirou Emiya, the honest one, spoke up.

In a sense, Shirou and Shinji could be considered friends, even if Shinji wasn't very friendly towards him, but Shirou was truly the kind who would turn the other cheek.

"Getting to know each other is no big deal..."

Shinji, smiling broadly, reached out as if to shake hands, but his wrist was immediately seized by Tao Yu.

The intense pain from his wrist caused Shinji to break out into a cold sweat.

"Has anyone told you that you're really annoying?"

Tao Yu lifted his arm and then casually searched his body, pulling out the 'Fake Servant Chronicles'.

Because Shinji was not a Magician, but Sakura Matou was, the 'Fake Servant Chronicles' was made by consuming one of Sakura's command spells, allowing Shinji to act as a temporary Magician, and because it contained a hint of magical power, it even let him use some rudimentary magic.

Fake Servant Chronicles: Contains a strand of command spell that grants the owner control over Rider. Current owner: Matou Shinji. The death of the owner or the servant will cause this book to disappear. It cannot absorb Yuan Force.

Realizing it was a bound item, Tao Yu raised an eyebrow,

"Can you tell me what this is? I'm a bit curious."

"Let go! Let go! It hurts..."

But Shinji was just yelling because of the pain in his wrist.

"Rider! Save me now!"

It was well known that the Holy Grail War was a secret competition, so before Medusa appeared, Tao Yu softly spoke,

"I will kill you before she comes out."

"Don't come to save me!"

This reaction speed somewhat surprised Tao Yu.

Other students looked over here, somewhat bewildered, prompting Rin Tohsaka, who was always faithfully fulfilling her duties in the Holy Grail War and was also one of the Three Great Families, to quickly step forward and wave her hands to explain.

"Ahaha, they're just joking, let me talk them down."

While saying this, she grabbed one person with one hand and dragged them aside.

Treya wanted to do something too, but she also felt something special about the book and brightened up when she saw Rin Tohsaka's actions.

They must know something!

Without making any noise, she just followed them.

Since Shirou had his hand injured and bandaged, he didn't realize he had one of those things as well, but watching the situation with Shinji and Rin Tohsaka, he couldn't help but walk over.

Although currently a layman, he was indeed a magician and sensed something off about the 'Fake Servant Chronicles'.

Moreover, because of the presence of Avalon within him, his attribute had been changed to 'Sword', and his potential was very strong.

The Archer summoned by Rin Tohsaka was the future Shirou Emiya, whose strength was excellent among many Heroic Spirits, the fated wage worker.

Rin Tohsaka saw Shirou Emiya coming over and wanted to say something, but Tao Yu spoke up first,

"Look at his hand, he might have a problem too, just like yours."

"Huh?"

Shirou Emiya also found it strange, then looked at the back of his own hand and said with a smile,

"I accidentally cut my hand."

Rin Tohsaka was initially shocked, but seeing they had moved away from the crowd and no one else followed, she ran over and unwrapped the bandage from Shirou Emiya's hand.

Inside, there was indeed a Command Seal!

"Eh? Weird, when did this thing get here."

Shirou Emiya seemed to be genuinely unaware, looking a bit bewildered.

At this time, Tao Yu also removed his bandage, revealing his own Command Seal, and Treya followed suit.

Suddenly, five Masters were present!

"My gosh, I think this has never happened before, all five Masters meeting up before it even officially starts."

Rin Tohsaka rubbed her forehead with a bit of a headache, similarly removing her own disguise.

The overseer of the Holy Grail War, Kotomine Kirei, was considered her mentor.

She was one of the Founding families of the Holy Grail Wars, and she knew quite a lot about the information regarding the Holy Grail War.

"What Masters?"

Shirou Emiya asked.

"I'd like to know as well,"

Tao Yu added.

Tao Yu's reaction surprised both Rin Tohsaka and Shinji Matou.

They had thought that Tao Yu and Treya were magicians.

Especially Shinji, he immediately felt like he was on a roll again, ignoring the hand Tao Yu was still holding, and burst into laughter,

"Haha! To think they don't know about the Holy Grail War, pitiful people caught up in this without a clue, today I will be merciful and... Ahhhhhh..."

With a firm grip from Tao Yu's hand, Shinji Matou started screaming in pain again.

"A fool who fails to understand the situation."

Rin Tohsaka rubbed her forehead again with a bit of a headache, then she felt Archer approaching nearby, just not making himself visible.

Tao Yu also sensed a strong crisis looming, poised but not released.

Compared to the previous unseen Rider, the crisis brought on by the red "A" was much more intense, very strong!

"He has already noticed me, keen perception."

The voice of the red "A" came to Rin Tohsaka's ear.

"So, can the two of you briefly tell me what the Holy Grail War is? And what is this thing on my hand used for?"

Tao Yu's words made Shinji on the side say with a painful expression,

"Rin, they don't know about the Holy Grail War, they probably haven't even summoned their Servants yet, this is a great opportunity, we could team up and take them out..."

"Idiot, the Heroic Spirits aren't all gathered yet, how can you fight? It's all useless."

Rin Tohsaka looked unimpressed.

She really didn't know how Shinji Matou had become a Master, but the Matou family really had fallen, such a half-baked person becoming a representative.

Looking at Tao Yu and Treya, then glancing at Shirou Emiya, the sharp-tongued but softhearted Rin Tohsaka ultimately sighed,

"Fine, for the sake of fairness, I'll tell you what I know about the Holy Grail War..."
