BAMN: Chapter 91/92

Chapter 91: A Maiden's Chastity

In Rin's plan, if the Holy Grail War hadn't been brought forward.

He would have used a loophole in the rules to adjust the time axis of this world, then accelerate the transition to one year later.

However...

The war was brought forward, and the Holy Grail quickly selected its Masters.

Even more fortunately, Kariya Matou was still chosen as one of the seven Masters.

"I've never encountered such a prosperous start."

Rin thought so, and asked, "Are you ready, Violet?"

[You can start]

Upon hearing Violet's reply, Rin raised his hand, using magic and the Command Spell on the back of his hand to connect to the Holy Grail System that enveloped Fuyuki City through its leyline circulation.

"Fill, fill, fill, fill, fill…"

"I Proclaim: Your body is under my command, my fate is in your sword. By the Holy Grail's summons, if you are willing to follow this will, obey this reason, then answer."

"I hereby swear that I shall be all the good in the world and that I shall defeat all evil in the world."

"You seven heavens clad in three words of power, come forth from the circle of binding, Guardian of the Scales!"

"Boom~"

The previously dim magic circle burst forth with bright light under Rin's incantation, and the intense fluctuation of magicules even stirred up waves of air, sweeping in all directions.

"Not a bad reaction."

Snow Empress stood to the side with her arms crossed. "I just don't know what kind of Heroic Spirit Master will summon."

"Isn't it that black guy?"

Ogerpon looked up curiously. Rin had told them information about the original seven Heroic Spirits of the Fourth Holy Grail War.

Kariya had summoned Lancelot of the Berserker class.

"No, it won't be Lancelot."

Snow Empress shook her head. "Master did not use the corresponding holy relic, because this allows for a better connection to the Root, giving Violet a chance to steal more rule power from it."

"So, this is a random summon?"

Violet seemed to understand. Rin was trying his luck with a random summon.

"Not exactly random, at least the class is fixed."

Snow Empress said, "Other classes are basically locked, leaving only Caster and Berserker."

These two classes were random. Rin could summon any one of them.

"Here it comes!"

Finally, in Rin's perception of magicules, an aura emerged from the center of the magic circle.

This was a very beautiful young girl. She had pink ear-length short hair and light green eyes, wearing a long white dress like a wedding gown, with metal ornaments at her waist and by her ears, and a golden sharp horn on her forehead that faintly flickered with emerald arcs of electricity as she looked up.

"Frankenstein."

The moment the young girl was summoned, Rin obtained all of her information.

"It's Frankenstein."

Rin hadn't expected to summon Frankenstein.

"Ah, Ma, Ma a, ster~"

"Hmm, I am your Master."

Rin stepped forward and gently stroked Frankenstein's hair without any reservations, not showing the slightest fear due to her Berserker class or the giant hammer named Bridal Chest.

"???"

Frankenstein had clearly never experienced such a thing.

She was a monster created by her father, abandoned by him for being too ugly.

While she was 'alive,' no one had ever held expectations for her.

No, to be precise, for Frankenstein, the idea that someone would be willing to expect something from her was simply a miracle!

"Very mediocre attributes."

Violet didn't give Frankenstein any face, stating bluntly, "And this is with the Berserker enhancement. Her original attributes were probably only comparable to a C-rank Heroic Spirit."

In other words, Rin used this opportunity of Heroic Spirit summoning to summon a Heroic Spirit that was slightly stronger than an Ogre in single combat.

What kind of terrible luck was this? It was a bit too bad, wasn't it?

"Ah ah~"

Hearing Violet speak ill of her, Frankenstein angrily raised her giant hammer and was about to smash it down.

But Rin blocked her with one hand.

"Ah?"

Frankenstein looked at Rin, who had suppressed her with just one hand, with immense shock in her heart.

"Don't be mischievous, Violet."

Rin sighed, rebuking her with a slightly heavier tone.

"Understood."

Violet was just being instinctively sarcastic.

Since the other party was summoned by Rin, she was a companion.

Rin had few rules here.

Only one point was an absolute taboo that must not be touched: betrayal of a companion.

Violet looked down on Frankenstein. This was actually nothing, far from reaching a serious level.

Rin also wouldn't demand that all his subordinates love each other, that was unrealistic.

But, at least where Rin could see, he would eliminate such conflicts.

Only with differences would there be competition.

And as long as it was healthy competition, Rin would not stop it.

Furthermore, Rin didn't need to speak further.

Seeing Snow Empress's expression, Violet lowered her head.

Looking down on a companion was wrong.

At least for them, that was true.

If one were to count, they were merely Soul Beasts from Soul Land, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years in vain.

If it weren't for Rin bringing them out and bestowing power, what qualifications would the two girls have to belittle others?

This point was true not only for Snow Empress and the others but also for the Ogres, Goblins, and Wolf Clan.

They should have been weak, but fortunately, Rin favored them, which is why they are as they are now.

Frankenstein was weaker than them.

But this was only temporary.

Who could be sure that after Rin brought Frankenstein back to the Cardinal World, she wouldn't receive more blessings and then surpass Violet?

At this moment, Rin and Snow Empress exchanged a glance, quite tacitly.

Rin rebuking Violet was not just helping Frankenstein, but also helping Violet herself.

Just as Snow Empress thought.

Rin was unsure of Frankenstein's potential, as well as that of the new people from other worlds he would encounter in the future.

(To be continued.)

Chapter 92: Power Bank

"Don't look down on people just because they're starting out."

Clearly, this was the true principle Rin wanted to convey to Violet.

"I understand."

Violet's mood improved greatly.

Knowing that Rin spoke up for Frankenstein, but was actually placing great hopes on herself, Violet swept away her gloom and gained a clear understanding of her position under Rin's command.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you."

Violet apologized to Frankenstein, who, upon seeing this, let out a few cries and then focused her attention on her Master.

"So, Frankenstein is also going to become Rin's subordinate?"

Ogerpon bit her finger, looking at Snow Empress and Violet, then at Rin, with a blank, adorable expression.

The simple Pokémon couldn't understand the complex thoughts of adults.

"No."

Rin looked at his attribute panel, then shook his head regretfully. "Unfortunately, no."

"Frankenstein is just my Heroic Spirit, not a dependent."

One of Rin's goals in performing the Heroic Spirit summoning was to see if he could expand the number of dependent slots through this method.

It seemed this plan had failed.

"However, it's not without good news."

Through this Heroic Spirit summoning, Violet collected some important information.

One point was that Rin could retain the souls of the Heroic Spirits he possessed.

For example, Frankenstein.

If Rin wished, he could completely take her soul and then, in the Cardinal World, forge a new body for her.

Through this method, Rin could, in a roundabout way, steal the Heroic Spirits of this world.

And as soon as Frankenstein entered the Cardinal World, Violet could help her obtain a green card, allowing her to receive the blessing of the Voice of the World.

"Moreover, don't underestimate Frankenstein."

"Her Personal ability 'Galvanism' is precisely the power we need."

Rin's Heroic Spirit body was anchored to Sakura.

His existence constantly drained Sakura's magical energy.

Even though Sakura was incredibly talented, the magical energy within her body was more abundant than that of an ordinary mage.

However, a six-year-old girl simply couldn't support Rin in full-strength combat.

But now, it was fine.

With the magical energy provided by Ryuudou Temple, Rin could unleash the power of his Heroic Spirit template to its fullest extent.

As for Frankenstein, she belonged to the type that could fight freely once fully charged, requiring no concern from Rin.

The source of her electricity was the magical energy freely floating in the air.

And with Ryuudou Temple's ley line, Frankenstein could complete her charging in the shortest possible time.

Most importantly!

Even after Frankenstein's magical energy was full, she could still absorb the ambient magical energy from the outside world, she just couldn't store any more.

"Could it be?!"

At this moment, everyone realized Frankenstein's importance to them.

[Name: Frankenstein]

[Magical Energy Recovery: 40/hour]

"Isn't it great to have a free combatant who doesn't need to be supported and can even increase our magical energy recovery?"

To be honest, with the situation of things compared to the Lancelot, Rin still preferred Frankenstein.

There was no other way, Lancelot consumed too much magical energy.

Supplying him with magical energy was less efficient than giving it to Shion and Ogerpon; they were not inferior to Lancelot at all.

Unlike Frankenstein, she not only cost nothing, being free labor, but also increased magical energy recovery by 40 points, on top of Sakura's original 10 points and the leyline's 100 points.

"But, 40 points, isn't that a bit too much?"

Snow Empress was a bit curious. Frankenstein herself wasn't strong, yet her magical energy extraction from the Greater Holy Grail reached four times that of Sakura.

It was truly unbelievable.

"Because of this place."

Rin pointed to his feet. "Frankenstein's ability absorbs the ambient magical energy from the outside world."

"And what we are doing now is releasing the magical energy accumulated for hundreds of years from the leyline beneath Ryuudou Temple."

This release required a corresponding magical energy extraction system.

But no matter what, there would always be waste, and the proportion wasn't small.

For every 100 points of magical energy Rin extracted from the leyline, nearly 60 points of magical energy were wasted.

"Coincidentally, Frankenstein can reuse this part of the magical energy."

As a result, Rin's magical energy recovery efficiency increased from the initial 0 to the current 150 points per hour.

And in just 100 hours, which is five days, Rin would be able to fully display the power of [Monster Nation from Another World].

By then, no plans would be necessary.

He could just charge in and sweep through this Holy Grail War!

"Kirei's Heroic Spirit is still the original Assassin."

"Tokiomi's Gilgamesh also hasn't changed."

On the first night of the Holy Grail War, which was the second night after Frankenstein was summoned,

Rin, who was staying in Ryuudou Temple, received news that Assassin had trespassed into the Tohsaka residence and was then powerfully annihilated by Gilgamesh.

This scene was exactly the same as in the original work, purely a self-directed performance by Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine.

"Aside from Caster and Lancer, who have not yet been discovered, the identities of the other Heroic Spirits have been confirmed."

Souei knelt on one knee, reporting to Rin the information collected by the Shadow Squad Ogres in various parts of the city. "This morning, a white-haired beauty accompanied by a blonde woman dressed as a butler appeared in Fuyuki City's shopping district."

"A burly red-haired man also appeared beside a young man named Waver."

"Artoria and Iskandar."

"King of Knights and King of Conquerors have also arrived."

Knowing that these three had successfully descended into the Holy Grail War, Rin's hanging heart finally settled. "Very good, our targets are mostly here. The remaining Caster and Lancer are irrelevant."

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Rin and Souei, who were sitting in the room, felt an invisible fighting intent emanating from the void.

"This blatant fighting intent is too arrogant."

Ice Empress appeared behind Rin, her arms crossed, her expression displeased. "Do you need me to go eliminate him?"

"I agree with Ice Empress's suggestion."

Shion eagerly said, "Let me go, I'll definitely chop that guy into pieces!"

"Don't be so irritable, you two."

Rin slowly got up. He instructed Shuna to take good care of Sakura, then headed toward the direction from which the fighting intent originated. "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the scene of Diarmuid and Artoria's first encounter."

"Let's go, we'll join the fun too!"

At the same time, at the container street at the mouth of the Mion River in Fuyuki City, a warrior holding two spears and a knight princess in blue and white armor were engaged in a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
