Chapter 21 Mirajane... Teacher!
As the source of magic was opened, subtle fluctuations began to emanate from it.
That was a fluctuation of magic.
As the magical energy spread, Shirou Kotomine felt an indescribable sense of comfort throughout his body.
At this moment, Shirou Kotomine's body, spirit, and soul seemed to be unified.
They were tightly connected together.
Feeling the state of his body, Shirou Kotomine was overjoyed.
"Wow, this level of connection is miles ahead of the Magic Loop!"
Magic circuits have the same effect as magic sources, but in terms of energy conversion efficiency, energy transmission efficiency, and even energy accumulation, the former is far inferior to the latter.
But this is actually quite normal.
The current magic system in the Type-Moon universe is a newly born system that emerged after the Great Source gradually dried up.
It is a system that was born to adapt to an environment similar to the end times.
However, the world that Shirou Kotomine is currently in is more similar to the Age of Gods.
The skill sets that emerge from these two different environments are naturally different, but each has its own advantages.
After completing the opening of the source of magic and giving birth to new magic within his body, Shirou Kotomine was in an exceptionally joyful mood.
Although the sky outside was already beginning to darken.
But the energetic Shirou Kotomine showed no signs of fatigue.
Excited, he quickly picked up the magic book containing the transformation magic after the magic source was opened and began to read the contents carefully.
It's different from the previous foundation.
In terms of magic, the magic in this world is completely different from the magic that Shirou Kotomine learned before.
Those are two completely different developments in the path of demonic cultivation.
Therefore, this time, Shirou Kotomine can only rely on his own research to complete the training of this magic.
Fortunately, he had already developed excellent habits during his previous studies.
Therefore, he really liked this feeling.
.
Night had completely fallen.
The usually bustling Fairy Tail was unusually quiet at this time.
The mages had all gone home or were strolling around the streets.
Mirajah, who was working as a service staff member, had just finished cleaning the guild and was preparing to go home.
But as soon as she left the gate, something suddenly popped into her mind.
It seems that Shirou Kotomine hasn't left yet?
Mirajane frowned.
Logically speaking, Shirou Kotomine should have already left by now.
But Mirajane didn't see such a scene, and based on her understanding of Shirou Kotomine, she knew that he would definitely come to say goodbye to her when he left, and even thank her.
But none of these were available.
"Could he really still be in the archives?"
Thinking of this, Mirajane immediately turned around and returned to the guild, then headed straight for the location of the library.
"As expected?"
Mirajane instinctively pressed her hand to her head and said helplessly.
Although they hadn't entered the library yet, the light streaming through the crack in the door had already revealed everything clearly.
Pushing open the door to the library, Mirajane immediately saw Shirou Kotomine sitting on the floor, leaning against the bookshelf.
He was currently engrossed in reading the book of magic.
His brow furrowed at times and relaxed at others.
Clearly, he was currently enjoying himself immensely in the sea of books.
Although he was somewhat reluctant, Mirajane interrupted Shirou Kotomine's thoughts and woke him up.
"I remember that the books in the library can be borrowed, right?"
Seeing Shirou Kotomine's bewildered expression, Mirajane smiled and said, "So you don't need to work so hard at all. You still need to eat."
"Sorry, is it already very late?"
With his consciousness returning quickly, Shirou Kotomine soon understood the situation.
"Of course, there's no one left in the guild now."
"If I hadn't suddenly thought of you, were you planning to stay here tonight?"
Mirajane said somewhat reproachfully.
"Sorry, I really didn't notice the time."
Kotomine Shirou continued to apologize.
"Okay, stop apologizing. It's good to be eager to learn, but remember not to turn a good thing into a bad one!"
"Make sure you eat on time, and don't ruin your health."
Mirajane shook her finger earnestly and offered her advice.
"I understand, thank you, Miss Mira."
Shirou Kotomine has always been grateful for Mirajane's help and care.
"No need to thank me. After all, we're all partners in the same guild, so naturally we should help each other out!"
Mirajane smiled slightly.
"Let's go, I'll help you tidy up the books. You can find the books you want to borrow, and I'll take them to the counter to register them."
"Thank you so much, Miss Mira."
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. I already said we're companions."
After expressing their gratitude, the two began to tidy up the books that were scattered on the ground.
While helping to tidy up, Mirajane also discovered that the books Kotomine Shirou was reading were all magic books related to costume magic and receiving magic.
Upon seeing the familiar books, Mirajane's curiosity was piqued.
"Shirou, are you planning to learn both of these types of magic?"
Upon hearing Mirajane's question, Shirou Kotomine, who was picking out books to take home for further study, turned around and explained, "Although there are some differences, they are not that different."
"Actually, I've studied transformation magic before, but it was all self-taught, so I'm not very proficient yet. That's why I wanted to supplement my knowledge."
"The only magic I plan to study is Receiving Magic, and it will be the focus of my studies going forward."
This could be considered a prepared statement by Shirou Kotomine.
He originally planned to choose more than two magic books, one for the magic he had already learned and the other for the magic he would focus on learning next.
This is to cover up any potential flaws in one's actions.
"Oh, I see."
Mirajane nodded slightly.
She had no objection to Shirou Kotomine's choice.
After all, she herself is the kind of mage who is proficient in several kinds of magic.
In addition to her innate ability to receive magic, she is also skilled in transformation magic and hypnotic magic.
These are all useful support spells.
Receiving magic is actually the same.
Although she is a powerful mage whose core skill is receiving magic.
But she is special.
By a twist of fate, she received the power of a demon.
This situation is very rare.
After all, in this era, super beings like demons and dragons are almost nowhere to be seen.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, users who receive magic can deal with any dangerous environment by receiving various pre-prepared magical beast essences.
For example, you can transform into a flying monster to fly, or into a diving monster to dive.
With sufficient preparation, even the most adverse environments can be handled by a mage.
This is also based on Mirajane's experience.
"Receive the magic."
Looking at the familiar book in his hand, Mirajane suddenly said, "If you have any questions about receiving magic, you can ask me."
"Although I can no longer use it, I can still teach you."
"Is it really possible?"
Upon seeing this, Shirou Kotomine's expression was filled with surprise.
He didn't expect Mirajane to be willing to teach him.
"Of course! Don't forget we're partners, we should help each other out!"
Mirajane's smile was particularly radiant.
"I understand, thank you, Ms. Mirajane!"
"I respectfully said Kotomine Shirou."
Mirajane's behavior reminded him of his two teachers, Leonidas and Tomoe, on the North Wall.
Therefore, when addressing Mirajane, he naturally used the respectful title of "teacher."
"Wait, don't call me teacher!"
Mirajane panicked immediately upon hearing Shirou Kotomine's address.
She found it hard to accept suddenly becoming a teacher.
"Yes, Ms. Mirajane!"
Kotomine Shirou responded earnestly.
"No!"
Mirajane loudly stopped Shirou Kotomine from doing this.
