Everyone's training proceeded very smoothly. After all, their teachers were famous heroes from history, all great figures, so how could they not listen attentively?
Due to Himejima Akeno's special circumstances, Mikazuki Munechika was later also sent to assist Tesla with the teaching. In short, everyone was diligently training.
After an unknown amount of time, the previously separated square-shaped landmasses began to move, gradually returning to their original positions.
"Oh? Is it time already? It seems maintaining our current state requires quite a bit of magical energy from Master."
Li Shuwen sent Tachibana Koneko flying several tens of meters with a palm strike. Feeling the moving ground, she murmured.
"Master? You mean Tsukuyo needs to expend her own magical energy to maintain your existence?"
Tachibana Koneko keenly overheard Li Shuwen's words. After dusting herself off, she quickly asked.
"Of course, otherwise, why do you think we are able to descend into this world? If Master hadn't summoned us here, we wouldn't have been able to come so many at once, little cat."
Li Shuwen ruffled Tachibana Koneko's small head. Although she said this, she was actually very surprised that Inaba Tsukiyo could maintain it for such a long time.
Why could Chaldea only send a few Heroic Spirits to the Lostbelts each time? It was precisely because of the magical energy required to sustain Heroic Spirits.
Besides that, even the Heroic Spirits permanently stationed at Chaldea needed to rely on Chaldea's devices to maintain their manifestation.
Of course, all of this changed after the arrival of a certain individual. Chaldea no longer needed to worry about magical energy issues at this time.
(fuhai: After all, they've found a perpetual motion machine. Even without Merlin and Meli's help, Chaldea wouldn't lack magical energy. Even sending out all Heroic Spirits for a full-scale assault wouldn't be a problem.)
However, Inaba Tsukiyo was able to sustain them for such a long time simply by expending her own magical energy. Although her body was still that of an ordinary person, her inner being was no longer so simple.
"Hmm? I always feel that you Masters are so mysterious. And why can Tsukuyo make all of you appear here?"
Tachibana Koneko curiously asked, what exactly is Inaba Tsukiyo's identity? How could she summon so many people?
Everyone else was also very curious about this, especially Rias, who was trained by Scáthach.
She was already very certain that the person in front of her was Scáthach, the Queen of the Land of Shadows, but… why would Scáthach call Inaba Tsukiyo Master (Shishou)?
"Master (Shishou), even though you are the Queen of the Land of Shadows, why do you call Tsukuyo Master (Shishou)? Ah! Please don't misunderstand, I don't have any other intentions. It's just… I find it very unbelievable."
Rias quickly added, seemingly worried that Scáthach would be displeased by her question.
"Why? Hehe~ There's no need for so many 'whys'. And what's wrong with calling her Master (Shishou)? Do you think she's very weak?"
Scáthach, with her magic lance on her shoulder, sat high above, looking down at Rias.
In others' eyes, she was the proud Queen of the Land of Shadows, but people only knew the legendary her. How many truly understood her?
Moreover, did Rias really think Inaba Tsukiyo was just an ordinary human? If she really thought that, then she was too naive.
"Um… although I don't believe she's very weak. But I can only feel a human aura from her, and she always calls herself an ordinary human, so…"
Inaba Tsukiyo had always said that she was just an ordinary human, it was just that she had experienced too many things in the past, which was why she had such strength.
Of course, Rias couldn't possibly believe this statement, but she also couldn't guess Inaba Tsukiyo's true identity, so she could only believe Inaba Tsukiyo's words.
"An ordinary… human? Hahahaha~ That's very much her style. However, given her current situation, she can indeed be considered human. Of course, whether she's an ordinary human, even I'm not sure."
An ordinary human? What a joke, if Inaba Tsukiyo were an ordinary human, then there would be no normal humans, except for a certain guy named Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Think carefully, what has Master (Shishou) done? And she even brought out the Holy Grail this time. Do you really think Master (Shishou) brought out the Holy Grail just as a chip for the game?"
Even something like the Holy Grail could be brought out. Scáthach really couldn't understand why they thought Inaba Tsukiyo was weak. Didn't they hear Tachibana Koneko's evaluation of Inaba Tsukiyo?
Regardless of the past or present, Tachibana Koneko had no way to harm Inaba Tsukiyo. Not to mention Tachibana Koneko, even some Heroic Spirits fighting Inaba Tsukiyo would not be her match.
Inaba Tsukiyo had too many tricks up her sleeve. Besides the sword skills she displayed, she also had the abilities of all Herrschers and her biggest trump card, the power of a Heroic Spirit.
Inaba Tsukiyo could be considered an existence favored by the world. If Inaba Tsukiyo's surname was just a coincidence, then after receiving the world's favor, the surname Inaba was no longer just an ordinary surname.
At this moment, Inaba Tsukiyo was like the legendary Inaba Rabbit; her past African bloodline had disappeared. She could be considered a symbol of luck, which is why when she was pulling cards for the black fox… cough! cough! cough! Fu Hua, she didn't get an SSR.
Almost everyone asked their Master (Shishou) about Inaba Tsukiyo, but the Heroic Spirits, with great understanding, did not tell them the reasons, merely giving vague concepts, leaving the rest to their imagination.
The separated blocks returned to their original positions, and the dispersed people gathered again.
Everyone clearly noticed a slight change in each other's aura. Although their uniforms were somewhat damaged, or they had dust on them, their aura was much stronger than before.
"It seems everyone has been training well."
Rias nodded in satisfaction. Asking Inaba Tsukiyo for special training this time was the right choice. Just one session of training had such significant results. If there were more sessions…
"Don't be too greedy. Do you think it's easy for Master (Shishou) to have us come over?"
Nightingale interrupted Rias's thoughts. Although she, having descended as a Ruler-class, was not as unreasonable as her Berserker-class self, she would not just stand by and watch others take advantage of Inaba Tsukiyo.
Nightingale was indeed a gentle person, but when it came to work or important matters, she was like a different person, her aura unconsciously emanating.
This aura made even Rias, a high-ranking devil, involuntarily take a few steps back. Thinking of Scáthach, who taught her, she wondered who this powerful person might be.
"President."
