Chapter 3 - Stealing Luck Again - Fivefold Time Control

Improved physical fitness and Finger Gun? Only one of the Navy Six Styles.

That was a little stingy~~

Raising an eyebrow, Hiro didn't hesitate and directly used the two newly appeared items in the system item bar.

Unnoticed by anyone, he slightly extended his left hand and clenched it a few times in the air.

The feedback was immediate.

Like the difference between exerting force and not exerting force, just that simple clenching let him clearly feel his grip strength had increased several times compared to before.

As for nerve reflexes, stamina, endurance, and recovery, he couldn't tell for the time being. The setting wasn't suitable for testing.

Still, since the system used the term "physical fitness" instead of just "strength," all aspects should have improved.

"Hiro, pay attention to the lecture!"

The teacher with cherry-blossom-colored hair, Kirisu Mafuyu, glanced at him expressionlessly and spoke in a cold tone.

"Yes."

Hiro immediately straightened his face and put on the appearance of a good student listening attentively.

He had accidentally forgotten the persona of teacher Kirisu Mafuyu.

A miscalculation. A miscalculation...

Seeing this, Kirisu Mafuyu withdrew her gaze and continued teaching with the same cold expression.

Taking advantage of the moment she turned around, Hiro's eyes swept over the top of Asuna's head on his right.

"Steal."

"Ding!"

"The time required for this extraction is 15 minutes. Do you wish to begin?"

"Begin."

Perhaps because of the vast difference in strength between Koneko, a lower-class devil, and Asuna, an ordinary human, even the time required to steal their luck differed greatly.

"Third-Tier luck extraction initiated. Remaining time: 14 minutes and 59 seconds."

"Current task: Say 'I love you' to Asuna. The remaining time will be reduced by 13 minutes."

Hiro: ...

I refuse!

Faced with this unexpectedly absurd task, he didn't even spare a moment for hesitation and decisively chose to refuse.

Two consecutive tasks like this.

Am I just unlucky, or is this system poisonous?

Fortunately, these tasks were optional and didn't interfere with luck stealing. Otherwise... maybe he wouldn't have become much stronger, but he would have already suffered social death.

After refusing, he muttered inwardly, feeling a bit relieved.

Fifteen minutes.

Only a third of the class period.

Not long after, the system notification sounded again.

"Ding!"

"Third-Tier luck extraction completed. Congratulations, host, for obtaining Intrinsic Time Control (upper limit: 5 times)."

Five times...

Wasn't that basically a defective ability, like Kiritsugu's, heavily nerfed?

After briefly recalling the memories in his mind, Hiro reached that conclusion.

After all, Emiya Kiritsugu's magic crest only inherited 20% from his father with the Magus Association's permission. And that so-called 20% likely contained plenty of impurities-probably the least valuable part, or some hidden trick.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been on the verge of death just by activating double speed, and only with Avalon's support could he barely reach four times speed.

In any case, Emiya Kiritsugu's father, Emiya Norikata, was a genius magus designated for sealing by the Magus Association even during the fourth generation of inheritance, and had even found a method to approach the Root.

"Physical fitness strengthened once, plus an accelerator like Intrinsic Time Control."

"For offense, I have the Navy Six Styles' Finger Gun."

"I wonder if I can now exchange blows with a lower-class devil."

As this thought passed through his mind, Hiro's gaze, which had been fixed on the blackboard, subtly lowered.

It landed on the petite white-haired figure in front of him.

At that moment, regarding the time-based ability he had just acquired, he suddenly realized a crucial issue.

"System, I don't have any magic power right now. When I use Intrinsic Time Control, what will it consume? My stamina?"

"Certainly."

As expected.

Hopefully it wouldn't consume too much. Otherwise, a perfectly good accelerator would be forcibly reduced to a trump card.

As for side effects like severe pain and dizziness, he didn't really care.

First, the worlds were different.

Without Gaia's and the Counter Force's resistance and oppression, and without Solomon's magic foundation, Intrinsic Time Control itself might change.

Moreover, the extent to which his body had been strengthened by the system was still unknown.

Maybe it would directly ignore the side effect of inconsistent time flow inside and outside the body.

"Hiro, come to the office with me after class."

"Uh..."

Meeting the cold gaze from the front, Hiro's expression stiffened slightly.

"It's only the first day of class, Nanamiya-kun. How about showing a little respect for the teacher?"

Beside him on the right, Asuna's somewhat helpless voice followed.
