Chapter 3 - Stealing Luck Again, Intrinsic Time Control

Improved physical fitness and Finger Gun? Only one of the Navy Six Styles, isn't that a bit stingy~~

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

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

Just like the feedback one gets when exerting force compared to not exerting force, with just this clenching, he could clearly feel that his grip strength had increased several times compared to before.

As for other aspects such as nerve reflexes, stamina, endurance, and recovery, he couldn't determine if they had improved for the time being due to the inappropriate setting.

However, judging from the system's description of "physical fitness" rather than 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 said coldly.

"Yes."

Hiro straightened his expression and hurriedly put on the appearance of a good student listening attentively.

He accidentally forgot the persona of teacher Kirisu Mafuyu, a miscalculation, a miscalculation...

Seeing his performance, Kirisu Mafuyu then resumed teaching with a cold face.

Taking advantage of the moment Kirisu Mafuyu turned around, Hiro's gaze 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 it was because of the significant difference in strength between Koneko, a lower-class devil, and Asuna, an ordinary human, that even the time required to steal their luck had a considerable gap.

"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?? task, he skipped even the time for thinking and hesitation and decisively chose to refuse.

Two consecutive tasks like this, am I just unlucky? Or is this system poisonous? Fortunately, these tasks are optional and don't hinder my luck stealing, otherwise... maybe I wouldn't have become much stronger, but I myself would have already suffered social death.

After refusing, he couldn't help but mutter inwardly, feeling a bit of relief.

Fifteen minutes, only a third of the class period.

Not long after, Hiro heard the system's notification sound:

"Ding!"

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

Five times...

shouldn't that be a defective ability, like Kiritsugu's, which was mostly nerfed?

After briefly recalling the memories in his mind, Hiro came to this conclusion.

After all, Emiya Kiritsugu's magic crest only received 20% inheritance rights from his father with the Magus Association's permission, and this so-called 20%... should still have a lot of impurities, such as being the least valuable part, or some trickery involved.

Otherwise, Emiya Kiritsugu wouldn't be on the verge of death just by activating double speed, and only with Avalon's support could he barely activate four times the speed.

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

"Physical fitness has been strengthened once, and there's also 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."

Thinking this, Hiro's gaze, which had been on the blackboard, slightly lowered, looking at the petite white-haired figure in front of him.

At this 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 won't consume too much, otherwise, a good accelerator will be forcibly reduced to a trump card.

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

First, the worlds are different.

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

Moreover, the extent to which his body has been strengthened by the system is still unknown.

Maybe it will 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 was slightly bewildered.

"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 came
