Chapter 39: The Hozuki Clan

Li Xiang held his right arm, relieving the pain caused by the magic circuit.

Today, he learned the second magic.

Projection.

Using magic to materialize objects that have existed in reality.

But it's just superficial, a kind of magic with extremely low efficiency.

Most magicians don't know how to use it.

Except for the protagonist, Emiya Shirou, who cheats.

But his projection magic can't be called projection magic, it's a byproduct of his innate bounded field, Unlimited Blade Works.

It allows him to project weapons that closely resemble the original "sword" concept.

The bounded field, classified as a forbidden spell by the Magic Association, is a powerful magic that can rewrite reality.

It is extremely rare and can only be created after years of accumulation.

And it is almost impossible for outsiders to learn.

Li Xiang returned to his room and turned on the simulator.

This time, he wanted to compete with Orochimaru in terms of eloquence.

[Simulation begins.]

[Age 0, you were born into the ordinary ninja clan of Kirigakure, and your father named you Suika Tarou.]

[Age 3, you joined the ninja school.]

[Age 4, you defeated Hozuki Suigetsu and became the most outstanding student in the ninja school.]

[Age 5, you met Orochimaru and caught his attention with your knowledge of past lives. But your mediocre skills made Orochimaru suspect your origins and he tortured you for information. Unable to bear the humiliation, you chose death.]

[Simulation in this world ends.]

[Evaluation: Knowledge is power.]

[Reward: Two simulation coins (current balance: 12B), one random talent (99% chance of getting trash).]

"Orochimaru is really difficult to deal with."

Li Xiang knew he had fallen into the trap of arrogance.

The knowledge he had acquired was indeed advanced.

But Orochimaru was too smart and quickly absorbed this knowledge, wanting more.

And Li Xiang was exposed.

[Serpent Tongue (E-rank): You can speak the language of snakes and communicate with them.]

"Is this talent supposed to take me to the world of 'Harry Potter'?"

Li Xiang couldn't help but shake his head.

Because it was useless in the ninja world.

The snakes in Ryūchi Cave could speak human language.

Could it be that Serpent Tongue increased the chance of learning Sage Mode?

Li Xiang woke Nick up and went to the restaurant for breakfast.

He chose the classic combination of soy milk and fried dough sticks.

"Li Xiang!"

A frivolous tone.

It was the pink twin-tailed girl, Ivette.

"Hello, Ivette."

Li Xiang maintained a polite smile.

A girl who clamored to be your mistress was undoubtedly dangerous.

He never believed that good things would fall from the sky.

"Ah, your tone is so unfamiliar, it hurts my heart."

Ivette said, and her body leaned towards his shoulder.

Li Xiang immediately changed his position.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such an honest boy like you."

Ivette missed and wasn't angry at all. She said, "Based on your performance, I believe you have a bright future in the Clock Tower."

"So you came here to praise me?"

Li Xiang took a bite of the fried dough stick and sarcastically said, "Are all magicians as leisurely as you?"

"Of course not."

Ivette blinked, "Let me reintroduce myself. I am the daughter of the prestigious Mage Eye family, Leyman. If you want to know more about Mage Eyes in the future, you can always find me."

Indeed, she was another rich loli.

Every Mage Eye was invaluable, not to mention a magical family engaged in processing and selling Mage Eyes.

Li Xiang finally remembered who Ivette was.

In the original plot, she was a student of the Mineralogy Department and later became a spy in the Modern Magic Department.

My greatest wish is to become the monarch, Elmero II, who is Weber's mistress.

"Now let's talk about business."

Ivette took out a document and said, "I fought hard to get this opportunity from the boss, so don't let her down."

It's about the investigation of the Water Monkey.

Li Xiang could probably guess how Ivette got it.

As for the second half of the sentence, he pretended not to hear it.

But there was no harm in getting to know Ivette.

In the plot of "Magic Eye Train," her power might come in handy.

"Thank you."

Li Xiang finished breakfast quickly, took the documents, and returned to his room.

The investigation was clearly stated.

Although it didn't specify a particular magician, Astati found traces of their activities on the shore.

Through her methods, it was determined that it was the work of the Department of Spirit Descending and Prayer Theology.

There were many magic groups in the Clock Tower.

They were divided into two categories: student interest clubs and groups formed by magicians for a certain purpose.

The goal of the Prayer Theology Society was only one: the ritual of descending spirits.

And this was also the most interesting and daring magic topic of the Department of Spirit Descending.

How do modern magicians summon spirits?

The Clock Tower, as a university-like institution, had twelve famous magic topics.

Similar to the Millennium Prize Problems in the mathematics world of the previous life.

Any magician who could solve them would receive unimaginable honor and rewards.

"Summon spirits using me?"

Li Xiang's face turned slightly cold.

He would remember this grudge in his little notebook.

Regardless of the reason, he had to give something in return.

But the immediate priority was to improve his strength.

Training in Eight Extremes Fist and Kendo in the morning, practicing magic in the afternoon, and simulations at night.

A packed schedule.

【Simulation begins.】

【Age 0, you were born into the ordinary ninja clan of Kirigakure, and your mother named you Zhenhong.】

【Age 1, encountered enemies, and the entire family was wiped out.】

【End of simulation in this world.】

【Evaluation: Becoming a Hokage ninja is just a game of luck.】

【Reward: Two simulation coins (current balance: 13B), and a random attribute point.】

"Oh, attribute points?"

Li Xiang was somewhat surprised. He didn't expect to gain such a reward.

【You have gained one point in magical attribute. The attribute panel has been updated. Please check it yourself.】

Li Xiang reached out and activated the magic circuit.

He vaguely felt that his magical power had increased by about twice.

The reason it was vague was that he originally had very little magical power.

Doubling it was not that significant.

But it gave him great hope.

As long as he continued to simulate, Li Xiang's attribute panel would surpass that of a Servant, which was not just a dream.

By then, he could also fight with a Servant like Emiya Shirou.

Li Xiang pressed his forehead, closed his eyes again, and started a new simulation.

"Oh right, I forgot to use my talent."

Retaining memories, eloquence, photographic memory, theater general, snake-like voice.

He didn't bring an A-rank talent magic wand because he found in his previous attempts that it was not useful for ninjutsu.

And although the D-rank talent "Indomitable Spirit" allowed him to carry two more, he had obtained too few talents at the moment, so it was not necessary to use it.

"Give me a bloodline limit ninja from the Hozuki clan."

After using the talent of the theater general, Li Xiang heard the slogan of the simulator in his ears.

【Simulation begins.】

【Age 0, you were born into the Hozuki clan of Kirigakure, and your mother named you Hizuki.】

【Age 3, you joined the ninja school ahead of time.】

【Age 4, you became the genius of the ninja school, and through this, you obtained relevant information about medical ninjutsu from the clan.】

【Age 6, you defeated your cousin Hozuki Mizuki, who challenged you, and gained great fame.】

【Age 7, you met Terumi Mei. With your silver tongue and talent, you became her disciple and learned about the abnormality of the Mizukage...】
