Ch- 13 Noble Phantasm Unleashed!!

"I must say, you two, what's with those expressions? Is it really necessary?" Li Fan couldn't help but comment as he observed the solemn faces of Caris and Nami since he started recounting the Holy Grail War story.

Caris responded, "I didn't anticipate Sakura Matou's story to be so heart-wrenching." Tears began to flow uncontrollably from her eyes.

Nami chimed in, "Yeah, it's incredibly tragic. And that Shirou Emiya, saving the world repeatedly, even after his death as a heroic spirit, he continues to perform selfless acts. He's truly an amazing person." Nami, too, couldn't hold back her tears.

The two women, still shedding tears, held each other tightly and cried out loud.

Li Fan glanced left and right, then scratched the back of his head.

"I mean, I just told you the story. Is it really necessary to cry this much?"

"Hmph, the director is so cold-hearted. I misjudged you," Caris said, pouting as she looked at Li Fan.

Nami chimed in, "Yeah, he's just heartless." She shared the same disapproval while gazing at Li Fan.

"Alright, I'm a heartless man, I'm a scumbag!" Li Fan raised his hands in surrender. "In any case, remember not to disclose these plot details to others."

"I'll take my leave. You two can continue crying here at your own pace."

Having said that, Li Fan headed toward the door.

"By the way, don't stay up too late. You both have scenes to shoot tomorrow."

"I'm sure you want to finish up quickly and get that paycheck."

With those words, Li Fan opened the door and made his way to his room.

...

Filming continued as planned, and after a few days, they were already halfway through the production.

During this time, Smoker found himself increasingly astonished.

"What kind of ability does Li Fan possess to make the actor playing Caster fly, just as it's written in the script?"

"He even creates something that resembles a magic circle around Caster."

"Is it possible that this guy... can actually manifest the Noble Phantasm in the end?"

Watching Li Fan diligently providing guidance to Tashigi in front of him, Smoker couldn't help but ponder.

"Forget it, we'll find out if this guy possesses that kind of ability after the performance."

"Alright, Tashigi, do you remember what I explained?" Li Fan asked Tashigi, his expression serious.

Tashigi, donning the silver armor conjured by Li Fan through projection magic, nodded enthusiastically.

"Excellent, that's the spirit." After giving Tashigi's shoulder a reassuring pat, Li Fan shifted his gaze to the other actor, Alice, who portrayed Rider Medusa.

"Great job, Alice, your performance has been outstanding from the very beginning."

"However, the scenes coming up might be a bit challenging."

"I remember you said you're skilled at horseback riding and not afraid of heights."

Alice nodded and replied, "Yes, director, I can ride a horse."

"But, director, even though the script has me summoning a Snow-white Pegasus using my Noble Phantasm in this scene, I haven't seen any horses being prepared for the performance."

Upon hearing this, Li Fan wore a mysterious smile.

"Alice, you needn't worry about this."

"You simply have to execute the specific poses and deliver the lines as I instructed."

"As for Pegasus, I'll have it ready for you."

"Well... to avoid any surprises and prevent this shot from failing, I'll inform you in advance."

"After you've completed your lines, I'll summon Pegasus to appear beside you."

"You just need to ride it and battle the Knight King played by Tashigi."

"Rest assured, you don't need to fear falling. I will ensure the safety of my actors."

After hearing Li Fan's words, Alice looked at him in astonishment.

"Director, is it possible that you yourself are Medusa and can summon its precious phantom?"

"Haha, stop joking," Li Fan said as he patted Alice on the shoulder. "I'm just an ordinary director and actor."

"Okay, if you're ready, each unit will start working."

Upon hearing Li Fan's command, everyone sprang into action.

Soon, the scene advanced to the moment when Rider used her Noble Phantasm to summon the ethereal Pegasus.

Alice leaned forward slightly, and in front of her, a crimson magic circle began to materialize.

Although the magic circle appeared suddenly, as a seasoned actor, Alice remained composed and slowly recited her lines, as Li Fan had informed her earlier.

"I'll destroy you gently."

"Noble Phantasm Bellerophon!"

With a resounding "Boom!"
