Prologue, the beginning of everything
How long ago was that story? Karl...... No, at that time, he wasn't Carl yet.
Xă
That's his name. Code X.
The name has no special meaning, simply from A to Z a total of 26 training camps, in each camp, there will only be the only surviving warrior, that person, will carry the number of this training camp.
He just happened to be in Camp X, nothing more.
Civilized people reject the barbaric law of the jungle as an alien law that only savages can use. However, they have to admit that what was born with that kind of foreign method is a powerful combat power that people can't ignore.
For example, the city-state of Sparta. The city-state has always adopted a high degree of military training and a brutal law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest, and under the brutal selection, what remains are warriors enough to be called the limit of humanity.
It's the same with X.
This is a material specially prepared by the Magic Society to meet its own needs.
In the operation of the organization, it is bound to encounter things that are difficult to solve by yourself, or at least things that are difficult to solve openly, so you need a guy who takes action in secret.
Just as the Templar Church has vicarators and burial mechanisms, the Magic Society has its own designated seals. However...... That being said, the executor often has his own position reasons and is in the consideration of the crisis, and at this time, it is necessary to have a reliable person who has little connection with the Magic Association, does not care about the danger, and preferably does not care about the money to solve these things secretly.
It came into being that it was Emiya Kiritsu.
This man has a very bad reputation, and those who like him call him a mercenary maniac who does whatever he wants, and those who hate him call him a magician scum, but no matter what kind of person he is, they all recognize Emiya Kiritsugu's excellent combat effectiveness. This man has no idea what purpose he is in, he is a broken killing machine.
Basically, Emiya Kiritsugu upholds two principles. First, as long as there is a dispute, if someone asks him to go, he will go. Second, the more dangerous the place, the more he enjoys it, regardless of the reward.
To quote a sentence from Yan Feng Qili, comparing the benefits of Emiya Kiritsugu with the risks he was about to take, it was too disproportionate. Moreover, the interval between one operation and the next is so short that it can only be assumed that he is planning several actions at the same time.
Combining these two points, the Magic Association suddenly realized that this was not the person they were looking for.
He's got what he can do.
Known as a magician killer, he has a considerable degree of assassination power against magicians.
He has little to do with the Magic Association.
Because Emiya Kiritsugu killed all magicians, of course the Magic Association had a shouting attitude towards him. It's easy to understand.
He doesn't mind the danger.
This is inappropriate, it is better to say that the more dangerous it is, the more willing he is to eat it. This person gives people the tragic feeling of trying to find their own death.
In the end, he doesn't mind the payout either.
There is no better person for the Magic Society to do the dirty work than him.
Otherwise, as far as the things that Emiya Kiritsugu did, no one mediated it, and it is likely that a large number of magic families will unite to encircle and suppress Emiya Kiritsugu. Because no one knows if this man's bullet will hit his heart in the next second.
This man, as an assassin, is perfect.
The Magic Society understands this and benefits from it.
Therefore, after Einzberen recruited Kiritsugu Emiya, the Magic Association had a feeling that the things they were in charge of were being snatched away by others.
At the same time of emptiness, we have to find alternatives.
As mentioned before, it was the plan of the artificial Emiya Kiritsugu that was born.
It's as if a person's love knife has been snatched away, and the knife is not clean in the first place, and the Magic Association can't snatch the knife back openly.
Therefore, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
In order to make up for the loss of the handy hole card of Emiya Kiritsugu, they made the choice of reforging a knife with the same performance for their own use.
It's like borrowing someone else's car and driving it for a while and feeling good, so I bought one myself.
The Vilvica sisters are the first issue of [Emiya Kiritsugu].
The ending, I have also mentioned it, so I won't repeat it.
X is the trainee of the second phase.
They may have wanted to tie up with the family of the Magic Association and sent their [superfluous] children over, after all, a family has only one magic mark, which can only be inherited by one person.
They may have been orphans born lonely and adopted by the Guild and forcibly inscribed with magic circuits to use.
What kind of X was it? He couldn't remember.
In short, when he is conscious, he trains here.
The beginning of each day is 4 a.m., which is the standard routine. This time changes every week, maybe 5 a.m., 6 a.m., sometimes even 1 a.m., and sometimes noon.
The time you wake up is related to the time you fall asleep. Ordinary people often choose to sleep at night, but assassins cannot, no matter what time of day, when it's time to rest, for the sake of the mission, they must rest.
How to maintain sufficient physical strength for the upcoming tragic training is also an important lesson for these children. Because, the next day's class awaits them, and it is a training that thoroughly trains their physical strength to the extreme.
Adequate training, brutal lessons, the youngest child is only seven years old, starting with basic running and frog jumping, and gradually adding dagger fighting and hand-to-hand combat techniques.
Then there's the practice of magic.
The Magic Society once tried to use pure magicians to carry out assassination activities, but the result was a complete failure. Emiya Kiritsugu, a killing machine, has the greatest feature of harmony, and has the dual wisdom of magic and modern science, the enemy uses magic, then he uses science, and the enemy is good at science, so he uses magic.
His attainments in both fields are not top-notch, but this is why he can fight against both forces at the same time. Attack the enemy's weakness with your own strength.
After experiencing the first failure, the Magic Association finally understands that the strength of Emiya Kiritsugu in all aspects is carefully considered.
It is in this kind of training that X gradually grows.
The advantage of survival of the fittest is that after the scum is screened out, what remains is the elite.
X is the so-called elite.
After two years of basic training, the children receive their new weapons and a new test.
The so-called weapons are the magic circuits transplanted to them by the Magic Association, and the real sharpened hunting knives.
This is the first time Class X has gone out.
Leaving the barracks, which consisted only of army green and loess colors, the children reached the jungle for the first time.
"I never taught you how to survive in the jungle. â
This is the first word of the instructor.
"So, the first step is to rely on your own strength and survive. That's it. Three days later, assemble at the place where the flag is planted. Those who are still alive move on to the next step of training. â
The cruel law of the jungle.
The law of the jungle in the truest sense of the word.
Of course, even though that is said, the Magic Association will not really be so ruthless, this forest has been pre-dealt with by them, although there is danger, but the degree of danger is greatly reduced.
For example, highly poisonous insects are dealt with in advance, for example, the river water is also scattered with purification spells, parasites will not appear, and the beasts are also expelled, and for children, the most threatening thing is probably the snake, right?
If those children are not proficient in magic...... So what's the matter with the association?
This is the first time.
Then, for the second time, this time, most of the children were only about 12 years old, and everyone still came to this jungle. It's just that there is one more condition for winning.
"Only half of you will survive. If the number is more than half, the helicopter will not fall. â
There used to be a secret method of [Gu making] in Miaojiang, China, where poisons were placed in a confined space and let them fight, and the poison that could win the last was Gu. With the most ferocious nature.
This method is to raise a [Gu] among the children.
By killing their companions, let them taste the taste of blood too early.
Give them experience by killing enemies of the same level.
Finally, it stimulates them to learn as much as possible for their own sake.
X is one of them.
Here he spent the first half of his life.
The circuit given to him by the Magic Association is a circuit called [Spiral], which splits his magic power into two strands and bursts out in a spiral, exerting a 1+1>2 effect.
However, this is not a great power.
Because it was the magic in his own body that was responsible for supplying the spiral power, not anything else. It's as if water freezes and the volume increases, but at the end of the day, a glass of water can't form ice larger than a house, and that's it.
The spiral is the limit. That's why the Magic Society will send this circuit to the kids.
Anyway, it's all experiments, just give them some circuits, if this batch of children is easy to use, then the next batch is giving a better circuit.
X met Aya Kiriri after the second bloody battle in the training camp.
