As I wait in the dojo for Kritsugu I contemplate My existence in this new world. I would seem I'm still a king even though I can't access my aura at the moment. If that's the case then is there another Dresden slate in this world?

But it can't be I don't feel it out there. And if there was there would be other kings. If there is no slate am I still immortal? I need the answers to these questions before I get into any fights.

Before I can think about it more Kritsugu arrives in the dojo.

Kritsugu: Magic Circuits are "opened" when magical energy is run through them for the first time. Based on their experience at that time, a Magus makes their own mental trigger to activate their Circuits at will from then on. For this reason, the triggers are different from each other. Once I use my magic energy you must capture that feeling.

Kritsugu walked behind and bent down to put his hand on my back. I felt a weird substance enter my back and disappear. I tried to focus on were it went and blacked out.

Kritsugu: sigh

I woke in my dream but it was different this time. I could move were I wanted to instead of only looking up. I walked around and felt a drawing sensation from the center of the field directly below the sword.

I walked over there and found something very surprising. The Dresden slate which gives every king their power was here, it looked slightly different though. There were these green lines running along it, I leaned down and touch them then I felt pain for the first time in a long time.

I could guess that theses are the magic circuits I have been told of, but because of my unique circumstances I don't originally have them. The Dresden slate must of kept the original shirou's circuits.

After the pain stoped I can feel that the circuits are now in my soul and at my use. I looked down at the slate and it's back to normal, besides some outline of the green lines from before. I can feel a more solid connection between me and the slate.

My aura has come back as well, I don't quite understand this all that well I need to learn more about magic circuits.

I can feel my body waking up, seems my time is up.

When I open my eyes I see that I'm still in the dojo. Kritsugu is sitting at my side reading a book.

Shirou: what happened?

Kritsugu looked up from his book and replied

Kritsugu: it seems it was a bit of a strain on you to activate your circuits, it usually causes pain so I'm not surprised that you blacked out.

shirou: can you teach me how to use it now?

kritsugu: you didn't sleep for long so ill teach you one technique, it is called [Structural Grasp] it is one of the most basic magecrafts. here take this book.

he handed me the book to me

kritsugu: use the mental image and activate your circuits with the power produced form the circuits try to push to towards your hands on onto the book.

I concentrate on a mental image, the first one that comes to mind is my sword in the sky shining brightly. I can feel All 27 of my circuits activating and taking in a foreign energy.

I concentrate on this energy and try to use it as directed. I find this difficult, I haven't used it before after all. its completely different from aura, wait if I use my aura as a median then it should carry the power to wear I want it to go.

I concentrate on my connection with the slate and feel my aura, but its changed much from before. its now far more powerful and higher in quantity, this is maybe because I am the only king it has to provide aura to. I applied the aura to the magic energy and encased it like a tube, this worked remarkably well. i push the the magic energy to my hands, the magic energy flows smoothly with the aura. once the energy is at my hands I try to push it into the book

kritsugu who has been watching my progress is slightly surprised but doesn't let it show on his face.

kritsugu: now visualize the history of the object where it came from what it contains and how it was made

i do as he says and impediment I see its from Nippan IPS and is made of mostly ink and paper. this book is the tale of Genji, that's the most I can tell from [structural grasp].

I tell kritsugu my findings and he cracks a small smile so smile that if you didn't live with him you wouldn't notice it.

kritsugu: that will be all we cover for today, can you make lunch or should we order?

I replied order out food without really thinking, this hole process gave me much more to think about. if the Dresden slate is with me does that me I can make someone a king? i now know that aura works well with magic energy, so maybe i could use my sword of Damocles to acquire more energy from the world around me.

After all it is a construct made from my aura, one thing is for certain. I need to find a way to go back there without having to sleep to be there, I need to know all I can about that place. I have a feeling it will be needed.
