My Upgrades Are Invincible - Chapter 133
“Romani why the hell, are you in my seat!” Olga shrieked seeing Romani Archaman the man who was the head of the medical division of Chaldea currently sitting within the head seat of the Operations Room back in Chaldea and the sight obviously pissed off Olga who was the Director.
“Madam Director, I am the last senior staff member and have been nominated… No forced by the surviving members to take charge as acting Director, till you are retrieved from this Singularity.” Romani explained soothing the frothing tsundere.
“Fine! But where is Lev Lainur… He should have survived whatever happened as he left the control room before the bombs went off?” Olga asked trying to see where the man who basically raised her with her father’s basically pure disregard of her went off to.
Too bad the person who ‘oh’ so lovingly raised her is a Demon God Pillar.
Romani shook his head and showing he had no idea and then he turned to the other three of us. “Mashu and Fujimaru! Its good to see you are both alright. But who is that beside them?” Romani frowned as he looked down and was probably searching the Chaldea data base about me but with no results.
“Romani Archaman, I am Jake Barris and I have literally just joined Chaldea today like Fujimaru Ritsuka here after a blood sample test was done and I was recruited… Rather forcefully might I add…” I said with a wry smile and the reddish orange haired girl sitting beside me nodded violently in agreement.
“Yeah those security douche bags literally ransacked my house after putting a sleeping spell on me and packed my possessions. I wont be able to get married with those men packing my underwear… They even found and packed my Dildo that fell behind my dresser that I was too lazy to get!” She cried out morbidly embarrassed and Roman was clearly nonplussed at the hysteric teenager threw questioning me to the wayside.
“Well in either case. Fujimaru you and… Jake need to head over to the Ley line to summon some backup!” Roman ordered with Olga shifting in the background probably feeling uncomfortable with others issuing mission orders.
I raised my hands and I could the acting directors eyes twitch as he saw my bare hands unmarked by the command seals that linked people to servants as well as connecting the person to the mana generators in Chaldea that would do basically all the heavy lifting in terms of supporting the servant.
“I literally just said I just got situated into Chaldea when all this went down… I only signed in at the front door when the bombs went off and I ran towards the noise of explosions to help any wounded I could find. So, I have no command seals?” I spoke but was wondering if it was possible for them to even remotely hook me up to the Chaldea systems.
“Haaa… Look kid this is all too convenient for a brand new person to survive the bombs and all… But seeing as you helped saved Mashu and the rest I will extend some trust to you.” The pink haired man hummed in thought and paused as though he was listening to something before paying more attention to us as the girls prepared for another march to the supposed Ley Line so we could summon some backup.
“How good of a magus are you, Jake?” He questioned and my face twitched as I had no ‘magus experience’ but I had a perfect excuse for why.
“Probably the best potential magus in the world with my sorcery trait that allows me to use a facsimile of the First True Magic and I am a walking natural Mystery that can fuel Mage craft with my Pure Body that matches the purity of the likes of Enkidu…” I said with a wry smile shaking my head. “I have been on the run as a few Magus Families somehow found out about my talents and wanted to dissect me and use me as a breeding stud.”
Roman nodded in understanding as Olga starred at me in amazement at my so called ‘qualifications.’ “So, you certainly won’t have a problem supporting a Servant, correct?” He questioned and after a bit more discussion on how the Servant in question would drain me, I learned that even with a lack of Magic Circuits that I could refuel my Servant with blood/bodily fluids or even with lengthy kisses or whatnot.
“Enough with this perverted rambling! We need to shut down this Singularity lest Proper Humanity History is swallowed by this Singularity.” Olga cried out with Mashu and Fujimaru matching the white haired tsundere’s blush at how Romani clinically explained the difference in mana absorption via a anal or vaginal mana transfer ritual.
“Yes… Jake you know the incantation now… Just don’t have your Servant repeatedly use their Noble Phantasm and you should be fine.” He said blandly rolling his eyes ignoring the ladies freaking out.
Unless I summon someone like Karna, or another ridiculous mana hog, I should be fine supporting a few Servants with how I was a Level Five who has maxed his mind stat with each level and my Spirit Healing development ability I took back at level two gives me a decent mana regeneration rate.
We soon left the building we were residing within and as we are walking down the streets as I couldn’t safely carry all three girls especially with how heavy Mashu could be when she summoned her shield while flying, and said girls were giving me introspective looks.
I generally ignored Olga’s questions about my so-called Sorcery Trait giving the excuse that I needed peace and quiet for it to applicable and it just being my business until she gave up and went over to talk to Fujimaru.
“Are you a homunculus too Senpai…” Mash asked me quietly and I knew she was thinking my abilities where likely a result of some psychotic mages experiments as the Nasuverse was plagued with mad magic using scientists that would face no consequences for their actions unless their actions could lead to the mundane world discovering the existence of magecraft.
I gently patted Mash on the head as she walked beside me but shook my head. “No, I received my abilities naturally.” Well as naturally as a Falna was back in Danmachi anyway. “So you are a homunculus Mashu?” I asked conversationally even as I was paying close attention to our surroundings due to above all things my sense of smell catching something through the smells of smoke and death.
Salt water and Snakes…
“Please just call me Mash, Senpai… I don’t know why, but I just feel comfortable around you like with Fujimaru.” Mash muttered and I nodded as the Pure Body skill did give me a natural charm that made others more comfortable around me like sitting in a calm meadow.
Nothing like a certain breast’s obsessed Red Dragon Emperor’s dragon aura that brainwashed women…
“Well either way Mash. You being a homunculus makes no difference, though I may need to look into extending your lifespan as the strain of being a Demi-Servant will only shorten it…” I said gently and gave Mash a gentle side hug that didnt catch the attention of the other girls.
I mean with all the nonsense items, and Servant’s I will meet, I can confidently say easily that I can help fashion some form of longevity item like my eldritch necklace that enhances my own simply slowing my bodies passage of time
Olga and Fujimaru were talking as me and Mash were discussing stuff but I soon nudged Mash to get closer to the other two girls with a gentle hip nudge and a wink which made her blink in confusion.
I sighed knowing Mashu was so pure that coded signals wouldn’t work on her. “Little Eggplant go over and protect your master for me, please.” I said mentioning Mash’s purple hair and then turned to the right and looked at the buildings that lined the road as we were walking on a road beside the Fuyuki Bridge which we needed to crossover to get to the Leyline and the parts of the city that supposedly the Holy Grail signal was coming from that we needed to retrieve.
“Hey come on out!” I called out only for silence to greet me as the Servant obviously didnt raise to my bait.
“There is no one here!” Olga hissed obviously not wanting me to yell and call out more skeletons for Mash to have to bash into pieces.
“No she is just being shy… I guess being made fun of by her sisters for actually having a bust line and being tall has made the famed Medusa scared of confrontation.” I said confidently and then Roman appeared on Olga’s wrist monitor in a hologram with his face twisted in alarm.
“Watch out a Servant is rushing to your position from five hundred meters away!” Roman cried and as Mash attempted to intercept the shadowy blur sprinting towards me from between the buildings on our side a number of chains appeared splitting me and Mash apart.
“Let’s see how I stack up against a Servant…” I muttered as my sword appeared within my hands and flames covered my form as I prepared to duel the Lancer class Servant attempting to take my life with the way her spear, Harpe was poised at my heart.
