First steps towards a better future! (part 1)

It was a dark day unlike any other, the black clouds laden with water hovered over the city of Fuyuki showing one of the many elements of Mother Nature, the strong smell of ozone confirmed what had been said by meteorologists the night before, the rain pouring thousands of liters of water over the few who dared to walk during the storm.

Faced with this cold and dreary climate, an ordinary person would be inside the house, eating something hot and being lazy.

It is a pity that it will no longer be common.

While everyone took shelter from the rain, two small figures were enjoying the storm.

These were in the family warehouse, Kuro with his servant * cough * assistant made the final preparations for the experiment that he said was revolutionary, they were not bothered by the gloomy climate, in fact, the girl even thought that the weather was in accordance with the scene of a mad scientist.

What was the invention she was working on?

A simple 3D printer.

It is not plagiarism if it was not invented!

Besides, it was extremely easy to build it, I only had to replace some parts that have not yet been created by others that are more resistant, such as bicycle chain straps.

With that the engine would be more resistant in return, the production would be slower, which would not be ideal, the performance would not be ideal, but as it was the first functional prototype, there would still be much to improve.

Of course, it wasn't very beautiful, I had to cannibalize many pieces, the main body was the printer, for example, it was made with the structure of a fridge, the trays and the door were made of cheap glass that I had to reinforce with runes in addition to increasing the resistance to heat, it can withstand 390 ° F.

To balance it, I had to do the same with the refrigeration, so the system would not be overloaded, the nozzle would be more difficult to find because that was where the plastic would come from, I did not know if I used the tip of a fountain pen or a vaccine needle.

Unfortunately, I was not so well versed in the ancient arts, my Runecraft is not yet developed, so I couldn't use runes to improve the speed of the machine's engine without damaging it, but I could use runes to cool the engine so that it doesn't get too hot and ruin the machine.

But as Vanna Bonta once said - "Invention requires both disciplines, strict common sense and wild imagination."

It will take a while to adapt the printer until I get a good compression of the cell division and knowledge, molecular and biology, I will not be able to pull a Dra. Helen Cho, which is a pity since the idea of a tissue replicator could help and it saved many lives.

furthermore, I believe that later on, I could use it to recreate organs by increasing affinity with the organism and decreasing the percentage of rejection, unfortunately the difference between the tissues and extreme, the texture between a skin tissue is not the same as a bone tissue so I couldn't create an artificial human or clone even if I want to .....

!

blink..blink

Isn't there a Magus capable of transferring a person from one defective body to another - one that has an art of creating puppet bodies as good as, if not better than, the original ones?

W-what was her name again?

Azoe?

no .... and Aoko ..... Aoko Aozaki!

That's it Aoko Aozaki, but ... for that he would have to find her, besides that the price of his service must be exorbitant.

What to do ... What to do.

!

Noble Pharton!.

If I remember correctly, I once read a story in which an Isekai went through the same situation, to avoid this problem he used as a coin 3 noble ghosts that were thrown away by Archer Gilgamesh in the previous war, because they were contaminated.

It is as they say the garbage of one is the treasure for another.

But if this Gil is who I believe he is, then it is likely that there will be no discarded NP, -well who does not risk not gaining experience-, thinking about the possibilities will not result in anything if you do not act.

* Thunderstorm

Keep that thought ..... it's time.

"Ni call." I say to the redhead seriously, while putting on the goggles.

"H-hai, Ku-chan". Said the boy, turning and walking towards the small lever, with the white coat moving in his step.

!

Did he just pull a snape?

That knowledge forgets.

I was awakened from my thoughts by the sound of the hum of the computer, I bought it at a very cheap price since according to the owner it was defective, but nothing like small maintenance that does not resolve itself, something that my Nii was happy to do.

Both machines absorbed a lot of energy, electrical more than magic, so it was necessary to have a great source of energy, so kuro had to find an alternative source for his experiments.

It wasn't because of a lack of money from her, Tou-chan has told her several times that money was no problem, more because she knew it would be suspicious if a house of 3 uses an extreme flow of energy, even more, when they are living in the territory of a magus without his permission, even magus is not that idiots!

Although we are talking about a race that did not realize that the famous magus killer had an offspring and an heir and that one of his geniuses did not even realize that he summoned a depressed version of his passion!

Ok, focus.

Thanks to his basic knowledge, kuro has developed 3 methods to "harvest" the energy under the conditions I find myself in: Wind, Electromagnetic, and Electromagnets.

Among these only The electromagnetic is completed, I call The Lightning Rod.

Yes nothing original, but I was too lazy to create a name.

As the total electrical energy is a radius of 10 ^ 9 J, that is, about 300 kWh is equivalent to the monthly consumption of a small Brazilian house. Normally this method would be considered inefficient since there is a high rate of dispersion, moreover, even in my past life, there was no method for storing and harnessing lightning energy, much less using it for experimental purposes.

So how did I manage to make use of this? ..

1 ° I increased the attraction of the lightning rod, increasing the percentage of their fall, usually in a storm 30% coming out of the clouds 5% end up falling in the residential lightning rods, 10% in poles and transformers, and 15% in cars and trees, with that you simply redirect the drop points to the place you wanted, but as the power of lightning was so intense I was only able to use half of this percentage.

2 ° I had to create the necessary equipment (batteries, homemade generators, and other mechanisms) from the junkyard and mechanics manuals that I ordered from my brother's servant to collect from the library, after that I had to reinforce everything with runes.

3 ° I got a space in the warehouse and waited for the opportunity during the rainy season.

Of that 15% energy, I only needed to make use of the total of 3% the rest is saved for other experiments.

Maybe I should do some research on Galvanism later.

The computer was very slow compared to the machines of my previous life, I had to connect both machines by wires and cables, I also had to use the computer to give the command manually to determine the predetermined movement of the needle and table besides keeping your attention in case something goes wrong.

Since 3D printing is a time-consuming process, I had to choose the smallest and easiest image I could imagine as a test of the prototype.

I am happy that ABS has already been invented, it would be very difficult if it were not for that chemistry was never my forte !, I know that ABS and the acronym of Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene more like it does and what type of products is used. .. at the moment this is beyond me.

The printer didn't have so much movement, I didn't know what the maximum filling capacity would be, nor the styles she could use on credit that only basic styles would be possible. triple what is necessary.

I decided to create something useful, I decided to print a small stamp it was a small cylindrical shape with the image of an Anzus rune perfectly sculpted, childish yes, the cheater can also be very useful for tou-chan if he needs a power of fire the most and only use a special paint that I made to press in any superficies and bam, portable magic grenade.

It may not seem like doing it anymore, it is more difficult than it seems, the magic of runic writing is not just to write something is bam happens, but to know its context, the meaning, and best of all the intention. An Anzus rune can have several uses, as one of the main fire runes, it can be used both for battle (to blow things up, for fire in the enemy and etc.) and for domestic uses (Heating food, lighting a fire and etc).

Of course, the more specific your will is, the more runes should be used, as the ray of fire that caster ass uses in the grand order, so it is necessary for me to study as much as possible! To protect those I care about is to help Shirou realize his ambition.

With both breaths held, the two figures watch the machine's mechanism move slowly, the sound of gears accompanied by the crept of energy filling the interior of the warehouse, little by little the substitute nozzle (a 22G 1 needle) moved into a pattern of fill in the Full Honeycomb pattern at 5% fill with 1 layer as a border.

After all, all good resolution stems from many errors.

With his heart pounding kuro observed the movements of the mechanism, slow but steady the mechanisms move, the tray moves to place itself in the distant distance the arm with the spout approaches is then the first drip leaves the spout falling on the table, then a constant flow comes out of it and it moves.

"Yeah..He's Alive! "Screams the excited girl, her voice was accompanied by thunder, then she was laughing out loud with happiness.

"Hahahah * Cof. Cof. "

Reminder ... practice evil laughter

NiI of the pat on the back.

"Better?" He asks after a few seconds.

"Hai! "squeak

"So ... what did you create? "asks looking at my prototype with a curious air.

"Eh? Didn't I tell you?" I reply by looking at him.

"Not really," he said, scratching the back of his neck. "You were so excited to build this, that you forgot to tell me why you need my help. Besides, I just understood that it was something innovative and that it would change the world that you were babbling about.". "

"So ... you came to help me build something, not knowing if it could be dangerous." I say calmly, with a slight tone of disbelief.

"Is it dangerous?" He asks.

"No" I reply monotonously.

"So I see no risk of not helping." He replies with a shrug.

* insert forehead slap * I introduce you, my brother.

"But what if I was building a death ray!" I point.

"As long as it has a self-destruct button and the glowing side is pointed at the bad guys, that's fine with me." He said with a smile as he stroked the top of my head.

My right eye trembles.

I'm glad that Nii is learning from Tou-san but...

"Baka Anija!" *snap. I scream giving a karate blow to his head.

"Ittai!" exclaims cringing and covering the place I hit

He still needs to learn to be less credulous, it never hurts to have a little suspicion, he will learn that even if he has to stick it in that hollow head!

================================================

The study room at the Emyia mansion was quiet, the atmosphere in the room was quiet, this space used for the study was where a boy performed math exercises in a somewhat dispassionate way.

Soon the silence was interrupted by a banker, startling him to the point where he throws his notebook across the room.

The origin of the sound came from a small little girl wearing a panda pajama, her face was that of a beautiful doll with large, bright amethyst eyes and plump cheeks slightly reddened by the effort, her small lips were parted while the girl was breathing deeply.

The boy fought the impulse, her hand trembled in a spasm, from squeezing her small cheeks, he knew that his little sister liked to be mature and independent, such an act would only make her angry.

But she was so cute! She is s-so small, smart, and fragile that the urge to wrap her in bubble wrap and keeps her away from everyone and everything.

"Ku-chan, could you tell me what these books are for?" asked my brother, looking at the small pile of books.

"For you to read, study and learn from others the way of a hero". I say with happiness.

"H-he is very nice of you, but you don't think this is too much". Said the redhead a little pale, blinked when I realized he had a little sweat on his forehead.

I held a satisfied purr, for fear of him, so maybe I can stop the idiot from trying to commit suicide .....

What I am saying is not even Toshaka able to stop him, my brother is too stubborn to give up on anything.

"I don't think it's that much ...

"If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the outcome of a hundred battles. If you know yourself, but you don't know the enemy, for every victory you win you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will lose all battles - Sun Tzu Art of War "I say absently while opening one of the basic cryptography books, something that would be very necessary for what you were planning.

"..."

Leafing through the pages, I sit down by the table and rummage through the materials to begin my study, and continue to speak.

"Not everything is rainbows and flowers there is always a catch Nii, that's why we should always look below what is shown 'A ninja must see through disappointment.'"

"We are not Kuro-chan ninjas" my brother replies with an affectionate sigh

"But we are the children of the equivalent of a magical ninja, look, you may not be used to noticing the worst in others, when all you see is your own flaws and incompetence. But, listen to Ni, nothing worth having in life is easy. We know more than anyone that our current existence is not a fairy tale, as these are clearly only for children. "

It was a sad reality because as much as we seemed physiological children, we were not, the fire took away our innocence a long time ago.

"I don't believe in easy wins. If you read these texts you would see that every self-respecting story will have things in the worst possible way for the hero. He will experience loss, heartbreak, death - all the trials and tribulations that a short, brutal life can cause. "

She licked her thumb, turning to a different page and writing down another sentence.

"And, by extension, the reader of his legends will experience his point of view. He will understand his way of life, even if his own experiences and ideals end up shaping and adulterating the story, it is a terrible and beautiful thing. "

It was amazing how much information she could gather in one city, even in an era when technology was not so sophisticated.

After the conversation he had with Kirigtsu, it was as if the doors of a new world were opened, they had a lot of training and theoretical learning on various subjects, even though his Tou-chan was not very knowledgeable about the mystical arts he still had a vast library on these matters, in addition to many contacts if necessary.

He also taught both of them everything he knew for their survival from hand-to-hand combat, to a knowledge of body language and strategy.

The strategy classes were her favorites, a theoretical class from which her father always created situations, most of which were at great risk, for her to solve, she should give an answer and explain the line of reasoning behind this choice.

It was the class she shone the most, analysis and strategy have always been her forte, something she drew from her Pope, something that Shirou still needed to learn by seeing that most of her answers were about throwing herself headlong into danger without thinking about the consequences.

In many cases her response surprised the magus killer, making him look at nothing for a few minutes.

She once caught him writing down his answers and murmuring about 'stupid actions and that he should have done that at the time'.

Finally, she closed the book, putting the pen aside Kuro looks towards his brother, who was sitting on hers across the table in silent contemplation.

"So should I read these books to find out what life was like for past heroes, so as not to repeat their mistakes?" my brother replies, summarizing all conversation.

Snorting, I support my elbows on the table and answer calmly

Still seated, I move, I place one leg on the other and resting my elbows on the table, putting mine together so that only my fingers are touching, I answer "Elementary, my dear".

I felt immense pressure as soon as those words came out of my mouth, it was as if my own being was undergoing scrutiny, this is how that feeling came and went.

"Ku-chan are you okay?" worried question your brother

"Nothing much, I just remembered that I had forgotten a very important book in the library" replies the girl, having a possible theory of where this feeling came from.

In nasuverse nothing is by chance.

"N-I don't think it's necessary at the moment, I think these are more than enough". Said the boy.

"Hmm .... You are right, this is more than enough ..." I start to speak

My brother's face fills with relief

"... from the basics, we will increase the quantity as we move forward". I'm done.

The look of horror he gave me is worth all the future headaches he saw.

Sadistic me? not at all .... I'm just a little sister worried about the future of her beloved older brother.

I ignored my brother's whining

"So," I say putting the pencils and notebooks on the table "shall we start?".

Whether to heaven or hell, I will follow you with pleasure. All I ever wanted was to be with you.

Away from that scene, a figure was watching, his piercing eyes inspecting the anomaly.

He knew that his presence would alter the results of his hypotheses, he notes with some approval that the actions of the irregularity increased the survival statistics of the sword incarnation.

Although his judgment of the anomaly as an observer was neutral, he had no opinion of its existence, in a way he did not even feel as annoyed by its existence as so many of his other companions, the anomaly was knowing when seeking knowledge, his desire to learn from the past to overcome difficulties was something that satisfied him.

Her compatriots on the throne were fools, even though she was a foreigner she was 50x more sensible than most of them, don't they remember that they were children? Fool them all.

Not everyone is born to be a warrior, not everyone is born with latent abilities to kill monsters, times have changed and so is humanity.

Even if they wanted to, it was not their duty to intervene, what they should do as much as possible was to wait for the opportunity to be summoned.

This does not mean that he would not do anything, even if he deduces the likely outcome of the ritual, he still believes that he could at least increase the percentage in his favor.

How interesting it would be to have such a foreigner as your master, it would be intriguing to discover the hidden secrets that take place in the depths of your being.

With these final thoughts, the figure looks at the place with renewed interest, meanwhile the two children focused on their notes, without realizing the appearance that was not there before.

On the table out of sight hidden among the books under a small entity, an unknown object appeared to be much more than it was ...

This entity was nothing less than a very old-fashioned golden magnifying glass.

=================================

Thrust.

"Watch your footwork."

Parry.

"Better, left foot a bit more forwards, though."

Riposte.

"Good response, work on your follow-through."

One of the thousands of commands, in fencing training, something that I have always been interested in although it really only has a brief contact in my past life.

I remember when I was a little girl looking at classes through the store window whenever we went downtown to resolve some important issues.

Fencing was a much-loved art in the East due to the love of tradition, due to ancestry, whether from samurai or ninjas, there are many dojos in Asian countries so I was surprised when I found out that there was only one dojo in the academy ...

That means fuji-nee had a certificate to teach.

Now in this new life, I am sure that I will take every opportunity presented to me to become stronger and more capable ...

I think there was some truth at the phaeton carnival after all, but if so, does that cafe also exist?

Note to yourself take Gil or Nii there ....

"Remember kuro, the key to using magic is that there are only two requirements: you must have an affinity with it and you must understand the magic itself". Said kiritsugu waking me from my daydreams.

I give him a small, embarrassed smile, he raises his eyebrow showing an aura of disapproval for my lack of attention, I was able to detect a small amount of amusement in his soulless eyes.

Amused, I noticed that Shirou was standing at attention like a small soldier, he absorbed every word that Tou-san gave as a dying man who only now discovered what water was.

"When it comes to the second requirement, you need to know what magic is and how it works. What are the principles for that? For what purposes can it be used? Magic is the physical embodiment of the mystery; a miracle that overcomes reasoning due to reasoning itself, and the spirit flowing within the magicians and natural fluid energy.

Listen, kids Magecraft is a tool. No matter what the other magicians may say, no matter how much they mock you, mock you and insult you for thinking that way, that is the truth. Magecraft is a means to an end, nothing more and nothing less.

But it is a terrible tool and the world could be better off if it did not exist. Its very existence breeds jealousy, resentment, hatred, greed, and ambition. And yet, you must have, know how to use it and keep it as sharp as possible, just to protect yourself and those you love.

It is to remember that never use your gifts against the innocent, know that from this moment on you must be careful what you do with it because a miscalculation can result in your death. You understand me?"

"Yes, Tou-chan / Otou-san!" said the children.

"Good, Kuroko come on" calls directing me to a side room.

It was a small room with little furniture, a table, and a chair in the corner near the door, in the center of which was a silver circle with runes and geometric designs.

He guided me to the center of the circle where he asked to be seated.

"Now I want you to close your eyes and empty your mind, it can hurt a little." She said in a monotone voice.

Nodding Kuro stood with his back straight as she closed her eyes.

"Percorsi aperti di energia!" says Kiritsugu touching the back of both.

My energy stirred, almost as if it were pulsing or even rippling inside my body.

That was enough to break the barrier.

Warm.

My body shudders in convulsions, my hands gripping my back and neck as it exceeds a muffled cry from my tightly clenched jaw.

My ears are deaf, my nails scratch my skin in a desperate instinct to erase the pain ...

The burning sensation became unbearable. Even breathing becomes a difficult and painful process.

It would have been so easy to just give up. Forget me in pain and pass out, to wish for death and embrace the Oblivion once again.

That's what woke me up.

Pulling all the trifle that was my willpower back into shape, I directed the energy that hit the edges of the circuit violently, smoothing and directing its passage to the proper entry in the best way I could.

I could feel Od sliding into a single path, expanding it and adding more volume until the particular circuits were 'open'.

As soon as the pain and burning sensation came suddenly, she stopped, subduing herself to a much more controllable level that was comparable to multiple bruises around my body and a throbbing headache that worsened by the minute.

It was with this revelation that I passed out.

==============================================

My mind was a whirlwind of pain and emptiness, I felt like my own body was too small for me, my skin was very thin and uncomfortable, it felt like it was a simple piece of paper that separated my overheated entrails from the space around...

I felt my heart beating fast as if it wanted to leave my chest, I didn't know how long I stayed in that darkness, I knew however that something had changed when I felt the 'touch' of something in my 'chest'.

In that instant I knew: Something had awakened ...

I didn't have time to react because in the 'second' following 'darkness' began to penetrate my 'skin', sucked in by an unknown force.

Perplexed I realize that the pain I felt was decreasing, it is my 'skin' became more ',' whatever that was doing was strengthening me ...

I feared the reason why this...

the fog of pain disappears and little by little 'the world' begins to dissipate.

I was about to wake up

The last thing I see before waking up and space where my chest was hidden by the thin film of my 'skin' was an Obsidian.

==========================================

"Why ... whenever someone says ... something just hurts a little ... it hurts like hell ..." asks Shirou, breathless for not having breathed much during the procedure.

"Because of the Placebo Effect, because it said it would hurt less, it prepared your body and mind for only small amounts of pain, in doing so you were a little more relaxed. So, if he said it would hurt more, you would prepare yourself for a lot of pain and make your body freeze and stress. And make the pain worse and cause some damage to your muscles if you had spasm. "replies Kuro

"Take this," said Kiritsugu, handing a small bottle with a clear blue liquid in his hand.

"What is it?" I say taking a look at the bottle in my hands.

"A potion of light healing, will lightly heal your circuits and restore your nerves, just a sip is needed," he said.

That ..this should have been very expensive and very difficult to achieve! I do not believe that he would get a portion of this with any magus, he must have bought it from an alchemist at an exorbital price he is giving it to me.

"Thanks tou-chan" I thank you with a shy smile.

His face was blank but I could see that his eyes were distant, as if in a trance, his left hand stretched out towards my head and ruffled my hair.

"Urg, tou-chan not in the hair" I groaned trying to get away eliciting a light laugh from him.

I could see his surprise by his own behavior in his micro expressions as well as his sadness and melancholy, I knew he was thinking about his wife and daughter, it's how he wished they were here with him.

Even though he went through all of this, he didn't take his hand off my head, in fact, if I hadn't been watching I'm sure I wouldn't have noticed.

The 'fight' lasted for a few seconds before he pulled away from a little.

Kuro drank from the bottle and felt as if his body had undergone a relaxing massage and not supernatural electrocution.

"Now try to activate your magic circuits yourself. You do this by focusing on an image in your mind of an action happening and your circuits being filled with Prana .... "

Listening attentively to the lecture, making notes, and asking questions for her tutor, she absently perceives the similarity between these classes with those of her old college ...

She cannot help but wonder what it would be like when it is her turn to pass on her knowledge to future generations.

She would have to work hard in the future to have that opportunity ...
