True Magic
Putting back the fragmentation grenades on his Inventory Zafrey began walking towards the hotel with disappointment.
'I will find use for later in the future, and it's already getting late.' Zafrey thought while looking at the orange sky turn into black night.
While walking at the fuyuki bridge, Zafrey was able to to notice a magic sigil ingrained on the red metal frames around the whole entire bridge.
'Well isn't this interesting, seems like caster is going all out with her territory creations.' Crouching down to fully take look at one of the sigils, Zafrey touched it with his fingers while trying to understand what each of the symbols mean in the context of magecraft.
After a few minutes of observing the sigil, Zafrey just put it behind his mind when he is crossing the bridge and continued his way to the Shangri-La Hotel.
'I got to say Gojo's clothes, have got to be made by with Anti-magic properties or something, because when i took that gandr bullet head on it didn't even break the fabric!' Zafrey thought while checking the chest part of his clothes.
After 10 minutes of walking he was finally able to see the entrance to the hotel and went back inside his apartment.
Taking a shower from all the dirt and ash that he accumulated from his visit on the Matou mansion, Zafrey is currently thinking of something interesting.
"What happens if you suddenly re opened a path of true magic in the root, that was already closed by the bloodline who was the first to learn the true magic in the first place?"
"From what i know about True Magic in the Nasuverse, it's like finding a path of enlightenment on the root and obtaining a sliver knowledge on the Akashic Records within."
Getting out of the shower and taking a white towel from the hanging rack, Zafrey dried himself and continued talking
"But, however to the mages who were able to acquire new types of True Magic other than the five types, however they were suddenly killed by a sudden vague red shadow"
*Hais*
"Alaya and Gaia really don't want anyone to reach the akashic records do they?, if I'm going to learn true magic i need to worry about the vague red shadow the best I can."
Wearing his newly laundered clothes, Zafrey then went to the kitchen and prepared his dinner for today.
"I will need to wait out my skill cool down first, before I should even attempt to learn Magic."
Taking out a chicken marinated in the fridge for past fours hours to absorbs all the flavors of the garlic cloves, soy sauce, vinegar and black pepper corns
He mixed the chicken thoroughly again with his hand and took out a large black skillet pan that was hanging just on top of the marble kitchen table and put on a fire in low medium heat.
After five minutes of waiting for the pan to heat up he drizzled the pan with cooking all just enough to cover the bottom of the pan, Taking out the pieces of the chicken he had marinated before, he grabbed it with some kitchen tongs and seared them individual on the frying pan for two to three minutes before seeing a golden brown texture on the skin.
Removing the seared chicken parts from the pan and then laying them over a cooling rack so that the chicken won't get soggy.
Zafrey then took the bowl of marinated liquid and carefully poured it with unto the frying pan before putting the fire in low semearing heat.
Taking each chicken parts at hand, he carefully placed them all on marinated liquid all over again before putting a lid on top of it
"This will take about 30 minutes and then i will have to flip them again, to make sure they cook evenly" Zafrey said to himself while washing the dirty dishes he used in advance.
"I should cook some rice too..." Zafrey thought before taking four cups of rice from the bag and poured it unto the rice pot and washed it three times to remove any excess starch.
Using his finger to measure the water needed for his rice, he then placed the rice pot on a the automatic rice cooker and pressed the start button.
"It already feels like home, don't you think Mia?" Zafrey said to the system with a longing tone on his voice.
*Of course User...*
*Hais*
"I wonder if Mom and Dad are doing okay..., knowing how much they worry about me, they must have thought that a disappeared or even died." Zafrey said to himself while standing on the kitchen waiting.
"I still remember the times when i was kid when me, Mia and Ash would always ask Mom to cook her special braised chicken..., I can't even understand what they must be feeling right now..." Zafrey sadly thought of his past memories before heading unto living room to check and turn on the wide screen tv situated there.
"23 Male corpses have been reported around Fuyuki city, currently we still haven't gotten a lead for the suspect of these murders, but after careful consideration, it's been theoriezed that the suspect is only targeting men between the ages of 18 - 58 years old, so as preliminary caution all male groups within the certain age please be advised."
Hearing the female reporter broadcast the news of caster's murders, Zafrey was surprised by the prospect before taking a seat on the couch and watched the news thoroughly.
"This just in, on August 22 of 2004, Mizuki Noguchi was able to win a gold medal for Japan in the Olympics women's marathon stay tune for more information..."
"Huh?"
"Wait a minute..., If the 2004 Olympics is still going on, then a lot of important parts of history hasn't even happened yet, like for example the re-election of the George W. Bush as the president of the United States of america and also the Indian Ocean earthquake that occurred in December 26 that killed over 200,000 people in 14 different countries" Zafrey thought of the implications his actions could do to world around him.
"Hais, if only the Internet was advanced in 2004..." Opening a golden portal in front of him Zafrey pulled out an advanced futuristic phone 20 years into the future.
"The iphone 11 Pro, i always wanted one of these, but the price was one of the reasons of why i didn't buy it before." Zafrey inspected the phone before powering it up
*The Iphone cannot connect to the Apple server*
"Ah you got to be kidding me... i can't even use the phone because i need to have a connection to the Apple servers..." Zafrey grumblingly said before he got an idea"
"Mia, Can you overwrite the programming Interface on the Item on my hand?"
*Yes, User*
*Currently overwriting it's system main frame*
*45%*
*89%*
*Ding*
*The Item on hand, no longer requires the need for a server connection and is now customizable in any shape or form*
Opening up the phone again Zafrey was able to see the home screen User interface he was so familiar with.
Scrolling left and right he was able to notice new Apps for each of the systems features like the Dimensional Shop, Universal summoning and Universal Commissions.
'This technology manipulation feature is quite useful!, if i went to a new universe with advance technology at my time, then their is nothing in the world from stopping me from either hacking my way into any mainframe, servers and even nuclear warheads.' Zafrey menacingly thought while holding his phone on hand in expectations
Pointing the front camera towards him, he took a picture of himself sitting on the white couch and smiled in excitement.

Somewhere in Homurahara Academy Infermarry, Rin is talking to Archer
"So~ did you kill him?"
*Cough*
"ah yes, Rin..." Archer replied to Rin with a monotone voice
"Totes, that's what he gets for messing with the one and only Rin Tohsaka" Rin happily told while asking Archer where shirou is.
"Where is Shirou?"
"Maybe he is still laying on the floor, grumbling in pain" Archer said while feeling a little happy that shirou was in pain.
"After getting my leg shot off by a fucking psycho!, and you just left him there?" Rin scolded Archer for his unreasonable hatred for Shirou
"Well it's not like Shirou is injured or anything..." Archer feigned ignorance while not maintaining eye contact with Rin
*Hais*
"Archer an you please get Shirou here so, I can use my magecraft to heal him" Rin begrudgingly said while grabbing a green gem stone from her coat.
"Can't we just kill him?, I'm still all in for killing Shirou." Archer persuaded Rin, while thinking about what Zafrey told him.
"Fuck No!, Just what is it with you and Shirou anyways?!" Hearing him propose on killing Shirou all over again, Rin whole heartedly denied his request.
"Nothing Much, it's just he is a master and he has baber, i thought you wanted to win the Murder-Death-Kill in the first place?" Archer sarcastically said to Rin while rasing his eyebrow.
"Shirou is a special case and you know that!"
Hearing her nagging Archer just stopped arguing with her and just followed her order of getting Shirou into the Infermarry.
In the church of Kotomine Kirei, a servant with blonde hair is talking to man wearing a
black cassock layered with a black trench coat and a golden cross on his necklace.
"Kirei, are you going to send me to kill those filthy mongrels? a king doesn't just sit still when the battle just started" Gilgamesh said to Kirei in arrogant tone.
Hearing this Kirei melancholy told him his plan
"Gilgamesh if you so please you can start now if you want, it seems like your very interested in fighting berserker i presume..."
"Heh, it seems like you already know, I'm taking my leave, you fake priest" Hearing the words of the fake priest gilgamesh procceded to stand up bench and left through the front door of the church
Seeing that Gilgamesh left to kill berserk Kirei started contemplating something that he had heard from the news.
"Hmm, the Matou's family home was burned to the ground, while Shinji on the other hand is the first master to die in the holy grail war, just who did it?, it can't be caster's or assassin's master..."
Stepping into the window Kirei looked at the dark blue sky in expectations on who will be the winner of the holy grail war.
"Who ever it is, it will be very interesting."
In the Shangri-La apartment the perpetrator of the the Matou families downfall is was currently eating braised chicken with white rice.
"It still nothing compared to how Mom cooks it, but at least i learned this recipe from her."
Zafrey said to himself while stuffing his mouth full and looking at the Universal Shop for any items he can use against the "Red shadow"
