Chapter 3: Is Matou Shinji Worthy of Being Called a magus?

"Hey, what are you guys doing? Lunch break is already over!" A teacher's shout came from nearby.

The three felt that the usually annoying teacher was unexpectedly so kind at this moment and thought of seizing the opportunity to leave.

"Hmm?"

However, a light hum from Dudley made the three instantly stop, as if rooted to the spot, unable to move a bit.

Without Dudley's approval, trying to move?

"Pay us back here in three days. Don't let me catch you bullying anyone again."

"Get lost."

Hearing Dudley's words, the three felt like they had been granted amnesty, disappearing from view at the fastest speed of their lives.

"It turns out to be Dudley." The teacher walked over, and upon seeing Dudley, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Dudley, a demonic figure in the eyes of students, had a different appearance in the eyes of teachers.

The reason was simple—Dudley excelled academically, ranking first in the whole school every year, almost scoring full marks in all subjects. He was a model student in terms of academics. Using the O.W.L. exam data from the wizarding world to describe him, Dudley's academic performance was Outstanding (O), physical education performance was Outstanding (O), height development was Outstanding (O), and even his physique was Outstanding (O).

Moreover, Dudley loved to participate in various athletic events, and as long as he participated, he always brought back the first-place medal for the school.

The trophy display case was already full.

Do you think the teacher likes him?

After a brief conversation, the teacher left.

Only Harry and Dudley remained.

"Dudley, I'm sorry. I couldn't protect your lunch." Harry, as if making a big decision, summoned his courage.

Dudley frowned again at the words, "What should you call me?"

Harry's courage, which had just been built up, instantly collapsed, "S-sorry, Brother D."

Brother D, Big D, or D-ge, was an intimate address that only Dudley's close friends could use.

"Harry, you don't have to be so afraid of me."

"Okay, Brother D."

This conversation left Dudley somewhat speechless. He swore he had never bullied Harry since he came to this world. God knows why Harry was so afraid of him.

"I'm actually a very easygoing person."

"Okay, Brother D."

It's true that he never bullied Harry, but Harry happened to be right next to him every time he beat up other people. Dudley's cruel side left a deep impression on Harry's young mind. A

few simple conversations After that, the teacher left. Harry was left to wait in the classroom, while he found a secluded place to check out the harvest.

Dudley was not from this world.

His current name was Dudley Dursley, the cousin of the famous Harry Potter in the wizarding world. He was an extra character a passer-by who pushed the plot forward, a supporting role who couldn't even be considered an antagonist in the early stages.

Moreover, he was a Muggle, fated to never have magic. If no miracles occurred, Dudley would never be able to release even a bit of magic throughout his life.

As the saying goes, blessings lie behind misfortunes, and misfortunes lie behind blessings.

God closed a door and opened a window for him.

Suppressing his excitement and joy, Dudley pushed open the "window."

Several golden words with a mysterious aura slowly appeared before Dudley.

This was something only Dudley could see, his unique "golden finger."

The Mage Training System. Literally, it meant a system for training Mages.

"Rescue the young savior Harry Potter, reward one physical fitness lottery!"

"Should I draw now?" Dudley looked at the slowly emerging words in front of him.

He rubbed his hands vigorously, then ran to the school restroom to wash them thoroughly. When it comes to drawing lots, you have to wash away bad luck first and then welcome good fortune into your body. That's the only way to draw the jackpot. After all, since he had crossed into the magical world, he had to believe in metaphysics.

At the moment Dudley pressed the draw button, an old-fashioned slot machine appeared before his eyes, and three slots began rolling crazily.

Regardless of whether it made sense or not, the sense of ritual was quite fulfilling.

With the activation of the lever, the symbols on the screen began to scroll continuously. Throughout the process, Dudley couldn't operate anything and could only quietly wait for the result.

Recalling the last lottery experience, he had drawn "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure"—Ripple Hamon.

It was a unique cultivation technique. By controlling the body through a unique breathing method, it could significantly enhance physical fitness. It could achieve various effects through subtle control, and in the later stages of practice, it could surpass human limits and even resist aging.

Dudley found it puzzling that a Mage training system would draw such a thing.

The system explained to him, "A robust physique is the basic requirement for becoming a spellcaster."

It made sense, so he accepted it.

Since then, Dudley had been practicing Ripple Hamon every day, leading to his current robust physique.

"But, Coach, Dudley wants to learn magic."

No one disliked magic. Compared to physical training, the magical world's awe-inspiring magic was more enchanting.

With Dudley's sentiments, the slot machine gradually stopped, revealing the reward series of this draw.

"Type-Moon World FATE."

"Holy Grail War Three Families."

The slot machine displayed a few words.

Seeing these words, Dudley raised an eyebrow. This time, it should be magic, right?

Although in that world, spells were generally referred to as magic, and practitioners were called magicians. But even a magician should be able to cast a simple fireball spell, right?

In Dudley's anticipation, a scene appeared before him.

It was an image of a boy with blue seaweed-like hair. At this moment, he had a lewd creepy smile on his face, with his hand on the thigh of a red-dressed girl with twin tails.

A classic scene from the UBW route of Fate/stay night—"I can play with these legs for a year."

"Congratulations on obtaining: Matou Shinji, Magus Constitution."

Matou Shinji, the eldest son of the Matou family, a magus family. When he was young, he eagerly wanted to become a magus. When he grew up, he realized that this wish was destined to be unattainable; he lacked the qualifications to become a magus. Because of his qualifications as a Master, He even vented his anger on his adoptive sister, Tohsaka Sakura, committing many heinous acts that outraged both gods and men.

A buffoon,another supporting role like Dudley, existing to advance the plot.

But in terms of the degree of wickedness, Dudley was far from him.

The only commendable thing about Shinji was his good grades and being the vice-captain of the archery club. For this, Dudley gained the ability of Archery Level 1.

Even though Dudley had practiced Ripple Hamon for many years and could remain calm in most situations, he couldn't help but burst into anger this time, exclaiming:

"Shinji Matou, Magus Constitution? I burst into laughter just seeing that."

"Does Shinji Matou look like a magician to you? At least he's lacking by a mile, if not ten thousand miles."

"What can you do, Shinji Matou? Are you worthy of being called a magus?"
