My wife is the stand-in.

"Fighting with evil spirits and heretics can be deadly if you're not careful. Being a sparring partner can hone your skills and broaden your horizons. Especially when sparring with someone like my sister-in-law, it's much better than practicing in isolation."

"I saw it clearly just now. My sister-in-law used her shield to deflect Jiajia's thrust, and then she used a close-range lunge. Jiajia still lacks experience."

He said with a sigh.

Li Junzi kept calling her "sister-in-law" and showering her with compliments, fully demonstrating his sycophantic skills in pursuing JK girls.

The conversation was not only sweet, but also cloyingly saccharine. Rin Tohsaka couldn't stand it and waved to the audience.

Amanosaki, who was busy drawing, suddenly jumped off the stands, pulled out his IV drip, and came over expectantly, looking extremely meek and submissive.

Rin Tohsaka looked at Amanosaki, who looked like a submissive wife, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Her bright eyes twitched slightly as she tried to suppress her laughter.

She reached out and pinched Amanosaki's earlobe, rubbing it punishingly:

"How much of my fight with that JK girl did you see?"

Amanosaki squinted slightly, and Rin Tohsaka's gesture of rubbing his earlobe was less of a punishment and more of a fanservice act.

The bouncy fingertips casually played with the fatty earlobe, the squeezed earlobe filling the gap between Rin's two fingers completely, as if something extraordinary had been stuffed into it.

He hissed and groaned as he replied, "It started from the point where your defensive magic was shattered."

"Hmm, more or less." Rin Tohsaka loosened her grip, clapped her hands under Amanosaki's wistful gaze, and gave a gentle smile:

"Nozaki-kun, the task of fighting Li Junzi is entrusted to you."

"Hmm... Hmm?!!"

Amanosaki nodded vigorously, then looked up blankly and said, "No, no, I definitely won't."

"Are you questioning my judgment and abilities?" Rin Tohsaka raised her chin, looking at her favored subject like a queen.

Amanosaki swallowed hard, then nodded as if mourning his parents: "Yes, Your Majesty Rin Tohsaka, I am willing to be your vanguard."

“Very well, I’ll stake the reputation of the Tohsaka family and the honor of the Clock Tower Minerals Department and the Modern Magic Department on you. You will not die.”

You won't die...

Amanosaki's face fell, thinking to himself that this was all retribution.

He only knew that Rin Tohsaka was a girl who was ruthless to herself, but he never expected that she would be just as ruthless to her boyfriend.

What are you thinking?

The snow-white fingers, as white as mutton fat, pinched Amanosaki's ear again, this time with real force. Amanosaki gasped, realizing he had made a small contribution to global warming.

"The big guy is right. Practice is the best teacher. If we want to get you started in the shortest time, none of the other disciplines in the Clock Tower can do it. Only the modern magic discipline covers a wide range, but the teaching is not in-depth."

"Open your mouth."

With a flick of Rin's finger, Amanosaki cried out "Eh eh!" as a ruby ​​was stuffed into his mouth.

Rin pressed her thumb inward, and the ruby ​​went down her esophagus into her stomach, as Rin Tohsaka recited her starting incantation "anfang (setting)".

The magic he constructed instantly shattered the gem's structure, reducing it to dust. The aortas of his limbs were strengthened by the magic, and a shimmering light flowed through his veins, making his veins stand out prominently.

"I feel...awesome!"

Amanosaki clenched his fist. Although his muscle density and volume had not changed, his physical fitness had increased by several levels in an instant.

"Since magic can be sourced from life force, it can naturally be converted into life force. Of course, only a very skilled magician can incorporate this conversion into a simple enhancement spell."

Rin Tohsaka tossed her hair, speaking casually.

"Yes, yes, as expected of the 'treasure obtained by the Tohsaka family for five generations'." Amanosaki flattered Rin with the original line, "My wife is just amazing!"

"Who's your wife!" Rin Tohsaka exclaimed, her face flushed, kicking Amanosaki in the butt. "We haven't gotten to that point yet!"

"Hey! Big guy, let's fight!"

Enraged, Rin extended her left hand, giving Amanosaki no time to prepare. The magic crest on her left wrist lit up, revealing a rune magic called Gandr.

Just like Amanosaki, Li Junzi was caught off guard after taking this Gandr shot and immediately noticed that all the muscles in his body were slowly weakening.

It looks like I've been infected with Botox.

Li Junzi's lower limbs shifted, and he hopped away like a locust. He closed his eyes, quickly performed a self-examination, and after a few seconds, he spoke in surprise:

"No viruses, no bacteria, no parasites... is this... a curse?"

"Watch out, big guy. Although Gandra isn't an instant-death type of magic, the Gandra I unleash still has the power of a bullet. Even if you can grow chitin to block the impact, you can't withstand a few hits from the curse of flesh decay, right?"

Rin Tohsaka's eyes shimmered with a crystalline blue from the gathering of magical energy. She said in a serious tone, "If you don't want to die from exhaustion, then use your fists on Amanosaki!"

Li Junzi looked at Tohsaka Rin with trepidation as she became serious, thinking to herself that she had long heard of women in Japan known as "Demon Wives." At best, they would urge their husbands to be ambitious every day, constantly saying things like "Nozaki-kun, please work hard," meticulously planning their lives and their husbands' careers. As long as their husbands followed the plan, they could get promoted, but they would lose all their entertainment and status in the family.

In severe cases, they become mere tools in marriage, leading to psychological manipulation, verbal abuse, and domestic violence.

"My goodness, Jiajia wouldn't be that kind of woman, would she?"

Seeing Rin Tohsaka exuding an aura similar to that of the woman he admired, with no one daring to challenge her, Li Junzi swallowed hard and lowered his head in silent mourning.

Brother, I'm sorry.

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, chitinous exoskeletons grew from the skin of Li Junzi's thighs and calves, his muscle fibers dissolved, and his legs lengthened, transforming into slender limbs like those of a cockroach.

"Cockroaches have the fastest limbs in the world. If they were scaled up to human size, they could move as fast as a sports car. Watch out, buddy!"

When Li Junzi read the word "cockroach", he was still at the edge of the training ground. But when he read the word "be careful", he was suddenly in front of Amanosaki!

"Holy crap!"

Amanosaki bent over and rolled on the ground, dodging Li Junzi's fierce attack.

He was panting like a dog, and as he looked all over his body, he was surprised to find himself completely unharmed.

At this moment, three bone spurs grew from Li Junzi's right hand, and his entire right arm swelled up abnormally. The bone spurs stretched and contracted with the muscles, and the terrifying force plowed three furrows in the ground.

"Can even reflexes be enhanced?" Li Junzi looked at Amanosaki, whose speed was comparable to his own, and felt quite jealous.

What the hell are these superpowers?!

Yesterday, I tried to control my bones directly, and almost tore myself to pieces.

Today, another one has appeared who can enhance ordinary people to the point where they are on par with him, even with superpowers.

"Although I'm just in my normal state now, judging from my sister-in-law's previous performance, this enhancement magic was just something she did casually... Damn it, what kind of magic is this? It's clearly sorcery!"

He grumbled, then transformed his hands into bone hammers and lunged again.

"Nozaki-kun, just hiding is too lame."

Tianye, whose face was covered in sweat and dust, suddenly heard Rin Tohsaka speak.

"Show me your boyfriend spirit, I'm watching right here." Rin Tohsaka tossed the gemstone around, her tone light and cheerful.

Amanosaki looked at Rin Tohsaka's amused expression and vaguely realized something.

Rin just said that this is about introductory training.

'Li Junzi wants to gain free combat experience through testing, while Rin Tohsaka wants to use Li Junzi to give me free experience in return…'

Amanosaki's mind raced.

The magic I possess now is constructed by Rin; there is nothing else related to magic besides that.

In other words.

"Don't try to understand it, feel it."

Amanosaki recited a famous line from a film directed by Christopher Nolan, and gave up thinking.

He decided to entrust the thinking to Rin, and use the characteristics of the superpower "Ideal Type" to complete remote control "as if I were there in person"!

"I am just Rin's tool!"

Amanosaki let out a strange cry and rushed towards Li Junzi.

"broken!"

Li Junzi was shocked to see this.

"My brother really did find a ghost wife!"

Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Meeting of Minds

Li Junzi's great shock had no effect on Amanosaki.

At this moment, his mind was completely blank. Once the thought of being a tool took hold, he completely let go of Rin Tohsaka's thoughts and could only babble "Aba aba".

Rin, being one with the origin, gave the order, and Amanosaki charged headlong into Li Junzi's fist, which was bigger than his own head.

'Jump up and get behind him.'

Rin's thoughts were like ice shards piercing Amanosaki's brain. He subconsciously did as he was told, squatting and jumping, his magical energy surging through his veins and catalyzing his muscles.

He flew up, stepping on Li Junzi's strong arms.

Although he landed awkwardly, he looked really cool when he did the mid-air somersault.

'Deep midfielder.'

Amanosaki clumsily imitated the horse stance from the movie, unleashing a furious attack on Li Junzi's waist.

He was two heads taller than Li Junzi and was very thin. From a distance, he didn't look like he was beating someone up, but rather like he was diligently cleaning Li Junzi's anus and removing feces.

At this moment, Li Junzi, whose entire body was covered with chitinous armor plates, suddenly staggered and almost fell.

"what's the situation!"

In the monitoring room, a group of men, young and old, were drinking tea, chatting, and joking around dozens of monitors.

Seeing that Amanosaki, who was completely inexperienced in the moves, had gained the upper hand, Amanosaki immediately broke several cups.

"This kid named Amanosaki has trained before?" someone asked in confusion.

"Practice my ass!" another person immediately retorted. "Everyone saw the video of that evil cult causing trouble that day. This guy doesn't know any martial arts at all; he's just strong!"

The crowd was noisy and surrounded the surveillance camera.

The door swung open with a bang, and a crystalline human figure strode into the monitoring room with muffled steps, immediately silencing the boisterous crowd.

"Lord Amber." Everyone greeted him and made way for him.

The newcomer was none other than Amber, the current garrison commander of the Yushan branch and a branch-level knight-errant.
