[161] Target!

After concluding their visit to the JOJO theme park, Kazuya immediately made a trip to the Emiya residence.

"Did you get it?"

"Yeah, it's all set." Kiritsugu Emiya nodded and took out four boxes. He explained, "This is the Mystic Eyes Killer."

Kazuya took the boxes. This would significantly enhance his safety on the Mystic Eyes Collection Train.

Upon opening the boxes, two of them contained a pair of glasses each, while the other two had a lighter and a pendant.

"Have you tested them? How effective are they?" Kazuya asked, expressing his curiosity.

"Of course... considering the price," Kiritsugu Emiya sighed and continued, "This is undoubtedly the highest-grade Mystic Eyes Killer money can buy. It renders Mystic Eyes of Nobelcolor and below completely ineffective. It can even resist a portion of Mystic Eyes of the Gold level. With two Mystic Eyes Killers combined, they can handle most Mystic Eyes of Gold level."

"Right... but can it resist Mystic Eyes of the 'Gem' level?"

"Yes... at best, it can weaken the effect slightly. After all, that's a Mystic Eyes of the 'Gem' level, quite rare in the magical world."

Kazuya examined the items, feeling nothing particularly special about them. However, these four items had cost Kiritsugu Emiya a whopping $690 million.

More than what one might spend on acquiring a Mystic Eyes of the Gem level.

Mystic Eyes are a type of magical eyes with their independent magical circuits and unique vision. Mystic Eyes have magical circuits that are not connected to the internal circuits of the human body. The magical circuits of Mystic Eyes are independent, and in normal situations, they are fine. The worst-case scenario would be the Mystic Eyes autonomously activating a spell and forcibly extracting mana from a magus's magical circuit.

Thus, possessing high-grade Mystic Eyes doesn't necessarily mean they are beneficial. What matters is whether they are suitable for the individual and whether they can control them.

Mystic Eyes' levels can generally be distinguished by their colors. Mystic Eyes of Nobelcolor emit red or green light, corresponding to the Nobelcolor level. Beyond that, those emitting golden light are Mystic Eyes of Gold level. Those radiating a gem-like light are Mystic Eyes of Gem level. Finally, the highest level is the Mystic Eyes of Rainbow, radiating a rainbow-like light.

There are also lower-level Mystic Eyes, such as the "Purification Eyes," which have very low effectiveness.

However, these are just general standards, and magic cannot be judged by conventional means. It's possible for Mystic Eyes of Nobelcolor to be stronger than those of the Gold level.

Mystic Eyes of the Gold level are generally considered to have met the Association's criteria for "designated sealing."

Of course, this is merely meeting the criteria.

Mystic Eyes of Nobelcolor level include abilities like "Binding," "Compulsion," "Contract," "Pyrokinesis," "Illusion," and "Misfortune."

For Mystic Eyes of the Gold level and higher, they often involve lost ancient magics. Mystic Eyes of the Gem and Rainbow levels may even conceal mysteries beyond grand magics—things that can no longer be replicated in the magical world today.

In other words, they could be considered as exercising the authority of gods.

With this understanding, Kazuya felt moved. The "Mystic Eyes Collection Train" initially started as a showcase built by a dead apostle named Rita Rozay-en. Now, it had turned into an auction, and the service attitude, in his opinion, was pretty good.

Kazuya stored the items away. With these, low-level Mystic Eyes could be ignored, and high-level Mystic Eyes could be directly used to summon heroic spirits using Command Spells in battle.

In other words, his ability to survive had significantly improved.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I'm a bit busy these days, so I'll take my leave."

"Sure." Kiritsugu Emiya nodded. He looked somewhat envious as he watched Kurokawa Kazuya with the boxes. As an assassin who dealt with magus, he also had Mystic Eyes Killers. These specialized in countering specific aspects, like dealing with "Binding" or "Compulsion" Mystic Eyes. However, at most, they could handle Mystic Eyes of Nobelcolor level. To be on the safe side, he often carried a bunch of them... after all, money is quite convenient.

Whether in the visible or invisible world...

Sufficient money could even buy the inheritance of several generations, engraved with high-level magical inscriptions.

Morioh Town

Since yesterday, the place had been crowded.

Hotels everywhere were filled with people, most of them excited about the opening of the JOJO theme park today.

However, some had registered in advance and come here for the voice actor auditions, aiming to make their debut in the industry.

One such individual was Takehito Koyasu.

"Have you met JOJO yet? Not yet, right? Your first time should be reserved for JOJO! I am Dio!"

Looking at the manga in his hand, Takehito Koyasu transformed into the character he wanted to voice, Dio Brando. He then played back the recording using the nearby recorder to assess the effect.

"Well... it should be good enough."

Takehito Koyasu took a deep breath.

This time, in the voice actor selection, he naturally applied and had spent this time reading all of Part 1, Part 2, and the ongoing serialization of Part 3 of JOJO.

He had gained a deep understanding of the character he wanted to voice.

Yes, his goal was to voice the antagonist character "Dio Brando" in this manga. He wanted to experiment with it on this stage.

Though not a main character, Dio was a character that appeared in both Part 1 and Part 3 and served as the final boss in both arcs. He had many significant scenes.

If he got selected this time, if he performed well, he would naturally be approached for Part 3 in the future.

With this in mind, Takehito Koyasu had been practicing how to bring the character "Dio" to life.

"It's getting late; I should head over."

Takehito Koyasu checked the time, put on his coat, pushed open the hotel door, and walked out.

With such a great opportunity, he didn't want to waste it!

Moreover, judging by the current financial strength of this company... especially with the vast area occupied by this JOJO theme park.

It looked quite wealthy.

In other words... if he succeeded this time.

Whether it's career or future, it's boundless!
