Making Friends Out of Thin Air

Romani stormed out, saying he was going to deal with those unruly individuals.

Perhaps he was afraid Mo Shuying would try to harm him.

But Mo Shuying was a model young man, and they were all comrades in arms, so how could he possibly try to harm him? He'd definitely try to kill him.

Looking at the screen again, Mash and Jeanne d'Arc had teamed up, preparing to investigate the mystery of Jeanne d'Arc Alter. Since nothing else was happening, Mo Shuying left the monitoring room.

As he was leaving,

"Merlin, come here for a moment."

Mo Shuying called out to Merlin. Merlin looked surprised for a moment, then smiled and followed him out.

The two walked and chatted.

"Merlin, you're a top Mage. For Mages, is mental strength very important?"

Mo Shuying asked.

Merlin didn't quite understand what Mo Shuying meant, but he still replied,

"Naturally. While for a Mage, the crest and circuits are most important, the strength of one's psyche also affects the power and effectiveness of Magecraft. This is beyond doubt."

"Hmm. Then, as far as you're concerned, is there anything that could shake your spirit or affect your emotions?"

Mo Shuying asked again.

"Well, aside from normal emotional fluctuations like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, it's almost impossible for external means to shake my spirit. You see, I am not a pure-blooded human. In terms of mental strength, I was countless times stronger than an ordinary person from birth, and now it's even more outrageous."

Merlin was the offspring of a human and a succubus, a born mental powerhouse.

"Oh. Then, is there any method to help someone strengthen their spirit? For example, I have a friend who, when using a certain power, gets swayed by the emotions of that power. While it doesn't cause any harm, it always feels a bit strange."

Mo Shuying used his ultimate skill, "I have a friend."

Merlin looked at Mo Shuying suspiciously, then smiled.

He naturally guessed who Mo Shuying's friend was, but he didn't expose him. Instead, he said,

"Ah~ I do have a unique Mental Meditation Technique that can strengthen the spirit, but this method of mine is reserved for my disciples. If your friend, Master, wants to learn it, then let him come and bow to you, Master—what are you doing? Why are you raising your hand? No, no! There's no need to use a Command Seal!"

Mo Shuying raised his hand with a dark expression, preparing to use a Command Seal. Anyway, in Chaldea, Command Seals were a renewable resource, so using one wouldn't hurt.

"Wuwu~ Master, you're so biased! You didn't even hesitate when you became Li Shuwen's disciple!"

Merlin felt bitter. Why was the difference between Servants so vast?!

"It's not the same, not the same! Hurry up and tell me."

Mo Shuying raised an eyebrow and said. Just kidding, he was a good young man who respected the elderly and cherished the young, even though Merlin was much older.

"Sigh, it's my bad luck to encounter a tyrannical Master like you. Fine, fine, I'll tell you!"

Merlin, with a helpless expression, imparted a Mental Meditation Technique to Mo Shuying.

This was a method specifically for strengthening the spirit, related to succubi. Practicing it to higher levels could even allow one to project their spirit to explore others' dreams. However, it was almost impossible for a human body to reach this level, but its effect on strengthening the spirit was superb.

This day,

Mo Shuying practiced martial arts during the day and strengthened his spirit with the mental technique at night.

Although he had Li Shuwen's [Veteran's Intuition], which could prevent Mo Shuying from being affected by mental abnormalities, he couldn't rely on Li Shuwen excessively.

If he could handle it himself, he would. Not relying on others was the true principle.

After a night of meditation, Mo Shuying woke up in the morning feeling incredibly refreshed. With his spirit strengthened, Mo Shuying found that his control over Internal Energy and Mana became even more adept.

In truth, Mo Shuying was still very grateful to Merlin. This guy didn't seem as bad as the rumors claimed. He should treat him better in the future.

Thinking this, Mo Shuying opened his room, ready to ask about the preparation of the Coffin.

Romani and his team worked overtime all night and finally completed three Coffins.

This Spiritron Conversion Coffin, also called a Coffin, looked like a large pillar.

Other Coffins had many safety devices, and the other 47 Masters were frozen for survival by the rapid-freezing devices within them.

Mo Shuying and his two companions' three Coffins did not have these, which was why there was a pile of extra parts.

"Ahem, this time it's truly foolproof. I guarantee it with the integrity of the entire maintenance team!"

Romani stepped forward and assured Mo Shuying. Mo Shuying thought for a moment and decided to add an extra layer of safety for his group.

"By my Command Seal, I command."

Mo Shuying suddenly used a Command Seal. Romani's expression changed, unsure of what Mo Shuying was about to do.

"The two of you must safely reach Singularity F."

With this simple sentence, two Command Seals disappeared, and a subtle change, undetectable to ordinary people, occurred on Merlin and Li Shuwen's bodies.

Command Seals were very mysterious, with many ways to use them, such as...

...making a Servant commit suicide.

Few people used Command Seals like Mo Shuying, but it wasn't unheard of.

Mo Shuying's words seemed useless, but they were actually to eliminate potential hidden dangers. For example, if a certain Coffin still had a slight problem, with a small probability of error, this Command Seal could temporarily eliminate that hidden danger.

Romani's mouth twitched. Was this a lack of trust in him? Didn't he, as the Deputy Director, deserve some respect?

"What? Is that not allowed?" Mo Shuying turned to look at Romani.

"Of course it's allowed! Absolutely, safety first!" Romani quickly agreed, knowing when to be pragmatic.

"Alright, you three should get in quickly. I've already set your coordinates. Mash and the others are preparing to head to La Charité to find the dragon-slaying hero. You can meet them there."

Romani signaled that they could depart. Mo Shuying didn't delay, immediately lying down in the Coffin. Li Shuwen and Merlin did the same. The hatch closed, followed by the familiar Spiritron Transfer!

*Whoosh!*

Watching the three vanish, Romani let out a sigh of relief.

"Phew, they're finally gone..." Seeing the three, or rather, seeing Mo Shuying leave, Romani finally relaxed. Mo Shuying was the only person in Chaldea whose origins were unknown. While it had been confirmed he wasn't an enemy, his personality and character still needed further observation. He was a person of special interest.

Just as Romani was happily preparing to return to the observation room, his communicator rang again.

He clicked to answer, and Gilbert's weak voice immediately came through the earpiece.

"Deputy Director..."

"What's wrong, Gilbert? Are your injuries healed?"

"No...nothing serious. I just wanted to ask...has Mr. Mo left yet?"

"Ah, he just underwent Spiritron Transfer. He should be at the Singularity by now. What's wrong? Do you need him for something?"

Romani was wondering why Gilbert needed Mo Shuying when Gilbert's excited voice came from the other end.

"He's gone! That's excellent! Deputy Director! I request another Servant Summoning Ritual! This time! Without Mr. Mo's interference, I'm sure I can succeed! Don't worry, if I don't succeed, I'll become a martyr!"

Gilbert had already realized that as long as Mo Shuying was around, his Summoning Rituals were destined to fail!
