I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Gem magic, gem man.

There is indeed a close connection between the two, and the existence of the latter does contribute significantly to the reputation of the former. But gem magic has become popular in the magic world and has been popular for many years. The reason is not just the "gem man". In fact, before the birth of Kishua, gem magic has been one of the popular mainstream magic in the magic world.

The special mystical significance of gems is that they can store magic power or even directly store magic power. No matter how powerful a magician is, there is an upper limit to the amount of magic the body can hold, as well as the number and scale of magic that can be used simultaneously. Gem magic breaks this upper limit. Through the daily accumulation of gems, you can have more sources of magic when needed or directly break the limitations of quantity and scale. And unlike rune magic, gem magic does not require specific runes to be stored or sent back. The things contained in gems are ever-changing, and you can store any magic you know.

Of course, such excellent magic is not without its shortcomings. First of all, the essence of gem magic is accumulation, and long-term accumulation is exchanged for an instant burst. If the accumulation is insufficient, the explosive power will naturally be insufficient. Secondly, gems and gems, as can be seen from the name, are valuable as a carrier of magic. Without a little wealth, you can't afford to practice this kind of magic.

However, this is not a problem for the two young female users located on the outskirts of Fuyuki.

Tohsaka Rin.

Born in the Tosaka family, a family of administrators in Fuyuki City. Although his father passed away early, with the help of the Matou family, especially Matou Kariya, the family business has been steadily rising, not to mention prosperous. It is different from the one in "Fate stay night" who looks glamorous on the surface, but in fact the family is in decline. The poor young lady who takes revenge on her family every day and even makes her debut in drawing books - ahem, this one is not there, cross it out - is completely different.

Today's Rin definitely has a family background and financial resources commensurate with the level of a eldest lady. The gem powder that was sold was made from more than ten kinds of gemstones, with a total price of more than 300,000 yen. The magic effect caused by this is also amazing. Under the guidance of magic power, the gem powder seems to disperse and gather, drawing a rainbow in the sky.

Her opponent, Luvia Serena Edelfeldt, was superior in this regard - superior here did not refer to her ability and qualifications as a magician, but simply to her wealth. The Edfeldt family was much stronger than the Tosaka family in terms of the time it was established and the ability to accumulate capital. Even though Luvia had not officially inherited the family, her spending was much more generous than Rin, the head of the family.

Although the gemstone powder used by Rin is of high quality, it is made from cut edges and corners. Luvia directly applies finished gemstones, the smallest one is larger than a thumbnail, and the effect is even more extraordinary. Rin's Tianhe is imaginary and real, while Luvia's is all solid, because she pulled out a wall and released real magic power, which fully explains the saying of being rich and willful.

Rin's mouth twitched when he saw it. He had seen a prodigal (Matou Shinji), but he had never seen such a prodigal - this is a first-grade emerald. He couldn't bear to use it unless he constructed an A-level magic. This guy actually used it all at once. Just squandered it all.

"It's a waste, it's such a waste." Rin said whatever he thought in his heart.

"This is a necessary sacrifice, that's what I judge. Well, a little girl hiding in a remote countryside in the Far East who has never seen the world will never understand, oh hehehehe!"

Luvia crossed her arms and let out a series of condescending laughs. Now that her true nature has been revealed, she has no intention of hiding it and will show herself completely.

Rin snorted and retorted: "Humph, you really dare to say it. You used such valuable gems, but they only canceled each other out with my magic. You, a young lady who has seen the world, are not so good."

"That's because these are the worst gems I carry. Although it's a bit wasteful to use them on a country girl like you, there's nothing you can do about it in battle." Luvia continued to make a fuss about her family life and continued to show off. rich.

"Hmph, isn't it because your level is not good enough? It is obviously an earth attribute, but you have to use wind attribute magic. If it were me, one or at most two gems would be enough. So, the nouveau riche... ugh ." Rin took a different approach and started from his own qualities.

"That's because you can only support two pieces, country girl. Indeed, you have the advantage in this aspect, but in terms of magic power, I obviously have the advantage - the most important thing in magic is accumulation, magic power is the foundation .”

"No, the most important thing about magic is the person who performs it. No matter how much magic is used at low efficiency, it will not be able to exert its power."

"Hehehehe~~~~~~~~"

"Hoohohohoho~~~~~~~~"

The two people facing each other showed smiles as beautiful as flowers, but colder than winter.

From another perspective, this can also be regarded as a kind of mutual recognition. After just a round of magic confrontation, both of them saw each other's true nature. In terms of attributes, Rin has the upper hand with the five major attributes, and in terms of magic power, Luvia, who has over a hundred magic circuits, is stronger.

The verbal confrontation between the two has actually been a focus of debate in the magic world for many years - which one is more important, magic power and attributes, family accumulation and personal ability. The source of the opposition between the two major factions in the Clock Tower lies here.

The magic community has been fighting for so many years but still can't come up with an answer. It is naturally impossible for two girls of seventeen or eighteen years old to come up with the answer. The two of them stopped debating and instead spoke with practical actions. This is a principle that has been applied throughout the ages - the winner is king!

Magic surges, gems sparkle, and the magician begins to chant.

"Call blue, red, green for your queen. (Awaken, blue, red, green, for your queen)"

The gems surrounded Luvia, as if knights were guarding the princess.

A sapphire slipped out from her fingertips, and like a knight's salute, the sapphire glowed.

It was like a fuse was lit. In an instant, all the gems were connected, and the radiance erupted soared in geometric levels, filling Luvia's surroundings with blue light.

This is the core value of the Edfeld family and the core of magic - circulation. Although this family collects treasures everywhere like hounds, they are not simply proud of the value of the treasures themselves. What they really care about is the behavior itself.

The same applies to magic.

Although Luvia is only a single land attribute, guided by the concept of circulation, it drives the entire environment to circulate together.

The gem heart is also everything in the outside world.

The wind had picked up and the water was already flowing.

Everything is as natural as the cycle of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and therefore becomes extremely powerful.

PS: Attributes can be inherited or mutated, and some kind of monster might pop out. But the magic circuit is not good, so it can only be accumulated from generation to generation. Shirou 27 is actually very good as a first-generation magician, but it is still far behind Rin.

PS2: Lorelaia is a typical example of the theory of family background and the embodiment of the theory of accumulation. Her attribute is pure wind, but she has become the pinnacle of the contemporary era with her overwhelming circuits - conservatively estimated, her total number of magic circuits is greater than that of Rin and Lu Wei. There are more Yajia, and maybe a Sakura as well. If there is anyone in modern times who can drag several Servants by herself, it is Her Majesty the Queen.

PS3: If so many magic circuits were hit by an origin bullet...
