TM : [294] The Beginning of a New Journey
🕑 Added 2024-03-06 16:00:06 +0000 UTCThe Holy Grail cannot accomplish things beyond human capabilities...
It is not truly all-powerful.
In other words, the leyline can indeed be artificially extended by certain means, and that's exactly what happened.
It was supposed to conclude in 1970, but for various reasons, it was prolonged until 2000. However, even this extension reached its limit.
The Mage's Association could not find any other methods...
Except for the Holy Grail.
But...
The Holy Grail cannot accomplish things beyond human capabilities.
What it does is essentially the same as what they do, only speeding up the process.
Slowing down the decline of the leyline is something it can achieve.
Completely preventing the leyline from deteriorating further... well, that's a different story. Perhaps the Holy Grail filled with the blood of the God's Son could achieve that.
However, it's just wishful thinking, as no one knows for sure if the Holy Grail can actually do that. After all, no one has ever used it for such purposes.
The Holy Grail is no different.
Humans also do not know what the Holy Grail, even the Holy Grail, can or cannot do. They never truly understand that entity... themselves.
They never know what they can or cannot achieve, only through numerous attempts can they roughly conclude.
However, all of this has already ended in this world.
At least, the story of the Holy Grail has truly concluded in this world.
In the future, there might be many "Subspecies Holy Grail Wars" or perhaps something called the "Moon Holy Grail War" in this world. However, all of this has nothing to do with the original Holy Grail in Fuyuki City.
The Holy Grail has already turned to dust, blown away with the wind, settling in the lake formed during its destruction...
"In that case, we can completely let her try drawing a Holy Grail War."
"Huh?"
"I mean, we can let her draw the Fate series." On their way back to Mifune City, Kazuya chatted about it.
"But... but..." Iwamoto Yuu hesitated for a moment. "Isn't it inappropriate to make a series based on the events in Cairo?"
"It doesn't necessarily have to be in Cairo." Kazuya said. "We can let her draw it in another location, another place where a Holy Grail War happened, right?"
Kazuya fell silent for a moment before saying, "For example, during the Fourth Holy Grail War, the Mage's Association noticed the Holy Grail for various reasons, took it away, and then there was a 7v7 Holy Grail War led by the Mage's Association... If the plot is interesting enough, we can treat it as an official work and serialize it."
"Is that so..." Iwamoto Yuu nodded. "I'll consider it and discuss it with that mangaka. Oh, Kurokawa-san, the latest volume of 'BLEACH' is out, would you like to know its ranking?"
"The ranking... probably isn't very high." While making a phone call, Kazuya looked out of the window. "After all, it's been a long time since the 'Soul Society Arc,' hasn't it?"
"Haha, that's true, but the previous parts are still exciting. Well then, I'll just tell you directly, it's in third place."
"Alright, got it."
Hearing the voice from the other end of the phone, Iwamoto Yuu sighed slightly. This guy is not excited at all; it's so natural... After all, he is not an ordinary mangaka.
If it were an ordinary mangaka, he would surely be excited and jumping around now. You know, JUMP is at its peak right now.
Series like "Dragon Ball," "Slam Dunk," "Yu Yu Hakusho," "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," and many others are currently shining on JUMP.
And thanks to its exquisite quality, surpassing the animation standards of the era, "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" has once again ignited the popularity of the "JOJO" series, reaching the top spot several times.
On the other hand, although the anime of "Dragon Ball" has already started, its quality is just above average, not at the level of "JOJO." There's quite a difference in terms of effectiveness.
Simply put, "JOJO" is currently exploding in popularity, especially after the third part, and thanks to the anime adaptation, it has once again surpassed the standards of its time.
In comparison, the "Dragon Ball" anime, although it has already started, is not at the level of "JOJO." It lacks quite a bit in terms of effectiveness.
Moreover, not every person who reads manga will send back the survey form.
Under such circumstances, a new work that can surge directly into the top three at this time... Perhaps, it's because of kurokawa Kazuya's fame?
It's precisely because of this situation that the current Chief Editor of JUMC is willing to conclude another money tree, "Fate," releasing the last three chapters.
Otherwise... even if there are only three chapters left, he wouldn't be surprised if it took a year to serialize them!
In Iwamoto Yu's heart, this Chief Editor really doesn't understand manga... he is a thorough businessman.
But...
Even such a businessman has things he cannot reach, things he dare not touch... like Kurokawa Kazuya.
He creates manga... he has never been through a serialization meeting.
He directly says, "Get ready to serialize this." Perhaps that Chief Editor has never seen this before... after all, even if there are only three chapters left, it would surely be approved in a serialization meeting.
"Hey? What's wrong?"
"Huh? No, I was just thinking a bit more, haha... Well, let's temporarily confirm things like this for now. Is there anything else, Kurokawa-sensei?"
"No, this is enough." Kazuya chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
He is also thinking...
His system doesn't have much guidance, and he currently holds one, not knowing what kind of power his future Noble Phantasm will have.
So...
He wants to try...
If others create a setting or story for his characters, can he transform them using the spell?
In that case, can he use the system to conduct a lottery?
Now, he has more energy and can slowly try these things...
After all, apart from the expected launch of the Mars Pioneer mission, which is scheduled to begin in 2030, and the possibility of returning with samples from Mars... there is still more than thirty years before that happens.
Thirty years, even if one manga is drawn every three years, there will be more than ten of them. He wonders what kind of abilities he will have at that time. He's looking forward to it...
"Sir, we've arrived in Mifune City. Is there any specific place you'd like to go?"
"Well... do you know the Ryogi family?"
"Ryogi? I've heard a little... Ah, you mean that black-haired girl?"
"Yes, that's right. Take me to the Ryogi family."
"I understand, please sit tight. We should be there in about ten minutes."
