Servants require magic to exist, and in the original story, there were Masters who couldn't fully supply their Servants with enough magic for combat, thus hindering their fighting strength.
Due to a shortage of magic, the Fate Worldview even introduced the concept of 'replenishing magic,' which was much to the audience's delight.
This involves using certain indescribable intimate contact to quickly provide magic to Servants, and in the Fate Worldview, replenishing magic also has many other wonderful uses.
Before Fate became popular, 'replenishing magic' was a legitimate term, but after the Saber magic replenishment incident, this term has been used in many other works.
Players like Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino also need to provide magic for the Heroic Spirits they summon, and according to Rule 2 of the Paradise, the amount of magic is determined by the player's physique and intelligence.
Kisaragi Rin's physique is 23 and intelligence is 26; both attributes are roughly double those of Yukinoshita Yukino, so he has no problem bearing the normal magic consumption of Medea and Medusa.
As for the consumption of Noble Phantasm release, Kisaragi Rin hasn't tried supplying two Heroic Spirits simultaneously yet.
Medea's Noble Phantasm is a short blade called "Rule Breaker." When facing contracts based on magic, or life forms born from magic, it can directly reset them to the state before the magic was used.
Simply put, after this Noble Phantasm is released, magic-based contracts turn into blank paper, and life forms born from magic are instantly eliminated. Medea relied on the power of her Noble Phantasm to directly break the contracts on Sugo Nobuyuki and Medusa.
Medusa has three Noble Phantasms: Riding Chain, Self-Sealing · Dark Temple, and Others-Sealing · Blood Fort Andromeda.
Riding Chain, simply put, is a pure ultimate move, summoning a Phantasmal Beast for an offensive and defensive charge, belonging to a large-scale anti-army Noble Phantasm.
Self-Sealing · Dark Temple is Medusa's blindfold, used to control the power of her Mystic Eyes of Petrification.
Opposite to Self-Sealing, there is a Bounded Field spell called Others-Sealing · Blood Fort Andromeda, which, by setting up a magic circle, drains the vitality of living beings within the area, directly dissolving blood upon activation to absorb magic.
As Kisaragi Rin calculated his body's magic consumption, Medea and Medusa had already changed into normal clothes, completely dressed like the Black Organization.
Because she needed to control the power of her Mystic Eyes of Petrification, Medusa still wore her Noble Phantasm blindfold, standing quietly beside Kisaragi Rin. She showed little reaction to being summoned and immediately changing Masters, tacitly accepting that she had become Kisaragi Rin's Servant.
Although Medusa appears cold, she is actually afraid of trouble, and her personality, rather than being taciturn, is more about overthinking and bottling things up.
Compared to Medea's attitude towards her Master, Medusa is completely loyal, even to the point of self-abandonment, willing to discard her own thoughts for her Master's commands.
Overall, she is a Heroic Spirit with psychological issues, just like Medea.
However, there are some differences between the two. To use a goodwill analogy, Medea is the type that is difficult first then easy, where as long as goodwill is raised to 70, she will add the remaining 30 points herself. Medusa, on the other hand, is the type that is easy first then difficult, with an initial goodwill of 60, but subsequent goodwill is harder to increase.
"There are only eight Servants in total, and we already have three of them."
Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Medea and Medusa beside Kisaragi Rin, then strangely at Kisaragi Rin, feeling as if the victory of this Holy Grail War was already predetermined.
Kisaragi Rin glanced at the time; taking care of Sugo Nobuyuki hadn't taken much effort, and it was only just turning night. He cautiously said, "Although we have a big advantage, we still need to be careful of that high-level player. The Emiya Residence can't be stayed in indefinitely; other players might come looking."
Since the Fate World seems to fully accept the existence of players, it's likely that many players have already visited the world under the Fate Worldview.
As one of Fuyuki City's attractions, the Emiya Residence always gives the illusion that if you stay there, you'll inexplicably run into players.
"How about we go to the home of this identity of mine?"
Yukinoshita Yukino suggested. Her identity assigned by Paradise was Fujimura Taiga. She had initially thought that following the most frequently visited place in her phone app would lead her home, but instead, she ended up at the Emiya Residence and even summoned Saber through the Dragon Ball there.
Kisaragi Rin pondered, realizing he indeed had no impression of where Fujimura Taiga lived, as this protagonist's guardian only appeared in scenes at school and the Emiya Residence.
"Let's go to Fujimura Taiga's house."
Kisaragi Rin agreed, and the combination of two Masters and three Servants quickly found a detached house less than two blocks away.
It was likely bought by Fujimura Taiga for convenience to mooch meals at Emiya Shirou's house, and apart from a bedroom, there wasn't much sign of life.
Sitting on the sofa, with night still upon them, Kisaragi Rin considered whether he should return to the Matou Residence.
Being an ordinary person in the Fate World is very dangerous, and Matou Sakura is currently an ordinary person. Getting too close to her might lead to dramatic events at any time.
After all, Paradise's counter-rules have too many loopholes to exploit. If ordinary people aren't allowed to realize the supernatural, then using ordinary methods of killing would suffice, such as gas explosions or building collapses. The lives of mortals are as fragile as summer cicadas. It's even possible to use supernatural means to kill them before they can react. It's unclear if Paradise is doing this intentionally or accidentally.
But Kisaragi Rin was somewhat concerned about Paradise's statement, "Disguise your identity well." If it was just because the summoning tools were within the disguised identity, this reminder seemed a bit condescending.
As a player, finding the key item to unlock the next stage in an unfamiliar game isn't that a basic ability?
"Disguise your identity well."
Paradise's words might have more meaning in this worldview.
As he pondered, Paradise announced the appearance of the last class.
[Berserker class has appeared]
"So now, all classes have appeared."
Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino looked at each other, their gazes meeting, and Kisaragi Rin made a decision.
"There's still someone at home; I'll go back for a bit first."
"Let's go, Medea and Medusa."
"Good night, Miss Yukinoshita Yukino and My King."
"See you tomorrow at school."
"Or, see you later."
