No. 17: Gai Tia turns around for you! (Celebratory extra chapter)

=> "NO. 17: Getiya Turns Around for You! (Celebratory Extra Chapter)". Ensure single line.

Students at the Clock Tower usually undertake a five‑year foundational curriculum in the General Basic and Individual Basic departments, then, based on the magical traits inherited from their families or their own attributes, choose the corresponding division for advanced study.

=> "Clock Tower students usually undertake a five-year basic curriculum in the General Basic and Individual Basic departments, then, according to the magical traits inherited from their families or their own attributes, choose the corresponding department for advanced study."

Need to keep meaning. Ensure no extra.

But in the Clock Tower of the Holy Terra Federation…

=> "But in the Holy Terra Federation's Clock Tower……"

Five years is excessive; in the Federation, most basic mana education takes only three years, and only advanced courses requiring intensive study go beyond that.

=> "Five years is overly long; within the federation, the vast majority of basic source-energy instruction requires only three years, with only advanced courses needing further study exceeding that time."

This stems from early specialization and from the fact that the vast majority of Federation students possess learning abilities far superior to those of most people from other worlds.

=> "This is due both to early specialization and to the fact that the vast majority of federation students possess learning abilities that are excellent compared to most people from other worlds."

With options such as cerebral development, AI assistance, and opening the sea of consciousness, low learning drive can be tolerated, but low comprehension ability cannot.

=> "Given the options of cerebral development, AI assistance, and opening the sea of consciousness, poor learning motivation can be excused, but low comprehension ability cannot."

The group of transmigrants known as mages were the quickest to join.

=> "And among the transmigrant groups known as mages, they are the quickest to join."

Other transmigrants might hesitate before choosing options like cerebral development or implanting crystal cores in the brain, then pick the seemingly safer path of cultivation or magic, but mages are unfazed by harsh conditions.

=> "Other transmigrants might hesitate before choosing cerebral development or implanting crystal nuclei in their brains, then opt for the seemingly safer cultivation or magic, but mages have many who are unafraid of the cold and uncanny."

Whether it's technology or mana, whoever is fast gets dragged along!

=> "Regardless of whether it's technology or source energy, whoever is faster gets pulled along!"

In this way, the Clock Tower naturally integrates with contemporary education's average efficiency—less due to internal flexibility and more because the external environment leaves little choice.

=> "Thus the Clock Tower naturally blends into the contemporary education system's average efficiency; it's less about internal members being flexible and more about the external environment forcing them to be so."

After all, this Clock Tower is no longer the original.

=> "After all, this Clock Tower is ultimately not the original Clock Tower."

At first, it was simply a communication and mutual‑aid educational platform created by a group of Clock Tower mages, mages unrelated to the Clock Tower, and even non‑mages who merely came from the same world.

=> "Initially, it was merely a platform for communication, mutual aid, and education established by a group consisting of Clock Tower mages, mages unrelated to the Clock Tower, and even non-mages who simply came from the same world."

It was named the Clock Tower merely because the Clock Tower people were the first to suggest it, and everyone had to concede that the Clock Tower's fame is indeed the greatest.

=> "The reason it was named the Clock Tower is simply because the Clock Tower folks were the first to propose it, and everyone had to admit…… the Clock Tower's fame is indeed the highest."

Using that name also makes it easier to gather other lost transmigrants.

=> "Using this name also makes it easier to gather other lost transmigrants."

Therefore, the Clock Tower initially bore little resemblance to a Clock Tower, and it didn't even have enough to make up thirteen disciplines!

=> "Thus the Clock Tower initially did not resemble a Clock Tower at all, and it didn't even have enough to make up thirteen departments!"

As a surface‑level education popularization center, it was rather awkward.

=> "As an educational popularization center on the surface, it was rather awkward."

It also lacked the strong primordial accumulations of an underground spirit tomb.

=> "Nor did it possess powerful original accumulations like underground spirit tombs."

Its present standing and setup rely entirely on its operations.

=> "Its current status and configuration rely entirely on operation."

This so‑called operation relies entirely on the Clock Tower not being the original Clock Tower.

=> "And this so-called operation depends entirely on the Clock Tower not being the original 'Clock Tower'."

Lacking those cumbersome family powers and entrenched notions built up over the years, it could develop relatively smoothly.

=> "Without those complicated clan forces and those years of entrenched ideas, it has been able to follow a relatively smooth development path."

Although occasional traditional mages still shout about family and bloodline, they cannot stir up much of a storm.

=> "Although occasionally there are traditional mages shouting about family and lineage, they cannot stir up much of a storm."

After all, this is no longer their original world.

=> "After all, this is no longer their original world."

Using family blood as a bond to inherit attributes, seals, and circuits—this kind of bloodline theory isn't useless here, but there are many alternatives.

=> "Using family bloodline as a bond, inheriting attributes, engravings, circuits…… such bloodline theory cannot be said to be useless in this world, but there are many substitutes."

In this world there is no notion of mystery; magic, as they call it, is everywhere—even present in metal instruments.

=> "This world even lacks the concept of mystery; magic, the mages' term for it, is everywhere, even present in metal instruments."

Stubborn, outdated mages are filtered out and discarded in such an environment, while the Clock Tower will thrive and grow.

=> "Stubborn, outdated mages are precisely those who get 'screened out' and 'discarded' in such an environment, while the Clock Tower will grow vigorously."

The traditional departments—General Basic, Individual Basic, Spirit Summoning, Astral, and Modern Magic—will also be refined as they grow, just as a sapling eventually sprouts buds and bears fruit.

=> "The General Basic, Individual Basic, Spirit Summoning, Astral, and Modern Magic departments—these traditional disciplines—will also be perfected as the Clock Tower grows, just as a sapling will eventually sprout buds and bear fruit."

Naturally, a Forensic Science department will also emerge, which bears no relation to magic or sorcery yet is immensely important.

=> "Then, naturally, a 'Forensic Science' department will also emerge, which bears no relation to magic or sorcery yet is immensely important."

One could even say that lacking a few major subjects is acceptable, but a Forensic Science department is essential.

=> "One could even say that lacking a few major departments would be fine, but a Forensic Science department must exist."

Because it is directly tied to politics and society, and simultaneously upholds the rules and regulations that a growing organization like the Clock Tower ought to have.

=> "Because it is directly tied to politics and society, while also maintaining the rules and regulations that a Clock Tower, as an ever-growing organization, ought to have."

Although this Clock Tower isn't as stubborn or filled with non‑humans as the original world, the mage group is still prone to extremes.

=> "Although this Clock Tower is not as stubborn or filled with non-humans as the original world, the mage group is still prone to extremism."

Therefore, the presence of the Forensic Science department has remained strong.

=> "Thus, the presence of the Forensic Science department has remained consistently high."

As always, it is hated by people and despised by dogs, enough for the URA Association to call them close brothers.

=> "As always, it is loathed by people and despised by dogs, capable of making the URA Association call them 'good brothers' directly."

But…

=> "But……"

Just as the URA Association would also be emboldened under the decree of the three goddesses, if you had the power or influence of Lady Morgan, you could likewise do as you please.

=> "Just as the URA Association would also be emboldened under the edict of the Three Goddesses, if you could have the power or influence of Lady Morgan, you could likewise do as you please!"

What accusations, what doubts—what do they have to do with me?

=> "What accusations, what doubts—what do they have to do with me?"

As Morgan, who bears a string of titles such as "Winter Queen" and "Cold‑Hearted Queen," she completely disregards those trivial matters.

=> "As Morgan, who bears a string of titles such as… 'Winter Queen,' 'Cold-hearted Queen,' she completely disregards those trivial matters."

Anyway, those folks wouldn't dare block her path.

=> "Anyway, those folks wouldn't dare block her path."

At the end of the day, even the name is wrong—this Morgan shouldn't be called Morgan Lefey; she should be Vivian.

=> "After all, even her name is mispronounced; this Morgan shouldn't even be called Morgan. Le Fay, but rather Vivienne."

Vivian, Ash, Morgan—those names are correct, but Morgan Lefey…

=> "Vivienne, Ash, Morgan—these names are all correct, but Morgan. Le Fay……"

When Chaldea processed her identity documents, they indeed registered her using the Morgan from Pan‑Human History.

=> "When Chaldea processed her identification, they indeed registered her under the Morgan of Pan-Human History."

Originally, everyone just wanted to save trouble, and the person involved didn't want to show off too much; instead, it became a kind of disguise.

=> "Originally, everyone just wanted to save trouble, and the person herself didn't want to show off too much; instead, it became a kind of disguise in a sense."

Just as Oberon's impression of Morgan up to now has been—that she seems like a British fairy with a lot of discrepancy in information.

=> "Just as Aomo's impression of Morgan up to now has been——she seems like a British fairy with much discrepancy from the information."

And the mages of the Forensic Science department are even more direct, shouting "Morgan Lefey" as they push the door open, simultaneously releasing the magic they hold in their hands—

=> "And the mages of the Forensic Science department are even more direct, shouting 'Morgan. Le Fay' in one breath; as they push the door open, the magic they clutch is instantly released——"

——and then it is nullified.

=> "——and then nullified."

An A‑rank anti‑mana spell, the Tower‑type grand magic that unfolds upon stepping forth, is in fact the Holy Lance Lon'go Meniad.

=> "An A-rank anti-magic spell, the 'Tower'-series grand magic that unfolds upon stepping forth, is in fact the Holy Lance Rhongomyniad."

The barrier magic called the "Wall of Light," which covers the entire British Singularity, is its outward form—unyielding and indestructible.

=> "The barrier magic called the 'Wall of Light' that covers the entire British Singularity is its outward form, difficult to shake and lacking any weakness."

Simultaneously deployed, the Courtyard‑type grand magic, which once appeared in the collective dream of Canaan City, is a cursed tool capable of trapping the opponent.

=> "Simultaneously deployed, the 'Court'-series grand magic is the binding implement once shown in the collective dream of Canaan City, capable of trapping the opponent."

Released from the spatial ripples beside her, it enacts counter‑control over the one who pushes the door in.

=> "Power released from the spatial ripples at her side achieves counter-control over the one who pushes the door in."

"…Wouldn't this add to the charges…?"

=> "\"……Wouldn't this add to the charges…? \""

Amidst a sea of "well done" looks and those who hadn't reacted yet, Miss Desert Hero, as a law‑abiding good horse girl, voiced the sole objection.

=> "Amidst a chorus of 'well done' and bewildered gazes, the Desert Heroine, as a law-abiding good horse girl, voiced the sole objection."

Naturally, Oberon should have chimed in at this point, but the demon remained silent.

=> "Naturally, Aomo should have chimed in agreement then, but at that moment the demon uttered not a sound."

Because his consciousness is no longer here.

=> "Because his consciousness was no longer present here."

Nightingale had already activated the equipment even while the commotion was going on outside.

=> "Nightingale had already activated the instruments earlier while the commotion raged outside."

The instrument used to check both body and mind is commonly employed by some mages daring enough to experiment on themselves with magic.

=> "The instrument used for simultaneous physical and mental checkups is commonly employed by certain mages daring to experiment on themselves with magic."

Because these folks, when sent to the infirmary, are usually noisy and lively, such instruments come with an enforced sleep function.

=> "Because these folks, when sent to the infirmary, are mostly 'noisy' and 'lively,' such instruments come with an added forced-sleep function."

With medication and magic adjusted to one's physique and mental strength, even a demon with B‑rank mental fortitude can instantly open their eyes to 'enter the dream' and step into the hall of data.

=> "With drugs and magic adjusted to physique and mental power working in tandem, even a demon with B-rank mental fortitude can instantly open their eyes to 'enter dream' and step into the hall of data."

It is like arriving at the set of the Mooncell in an otherworld's memory, where the sci‑fi‑laden circuit patterns and regularly shaped walls together form a narrow corridor.

=> "Just as arriving at the set of the mooncell in otherworldly memory, the sci-fi–laden circuit patterns and those regularly shaped walls together form a long, narrow corridor."

The corridor is not closed; gaps where the stone slabs are missing reveal a star‑filled backdrop and a pale‑blue cube of light.

=> "The corridor is not closed; gaps where stone slabs are missing reveal a starry-sky backdrop and a pale-blue light cube."

This is his main reason for thinking of the Mooncell: in works derived from Fate/EXTRA, the photon crystals resembling its appearance are energy storage bodies discovered inside the Moon, essentially a supercomputer that stores countless data and possesses astonishing computational power.

=> "This is his main reason for thinking of the mooncell: in works derived from Fate/EXTRA, the photon crystals similar in appearance are energy accumulators discovered inside the moon, essentially supercomputers storing countless pieces of information and possessing astonishing computational scale."

Placed in the Terra Federation's computer classification, it is also considered a relatively rare high-end instrument, sufficient to build many deep immersion servers.

But that's getting off track.

He could sense he was in a data realm, and for players who frequently use deep‑immersion devices, this initial awkwardness felt very familiar.

Either the network is bad, the server is bad, or it's stuck loading from the disk.

This would cause a slight lag and disconnection between consciousness and body, even a drunken‑like awkwardness.

Just give the machine a moment and it'll be fine, but since we're already in the hallway, let's keep moving.

He stepped forward, not worrying about the outside situation.

After all, even if he'd been dragged into the Clock Tower, or into Morgan's personal grudge…

There's really nothing to worry about.

Nightingale, Grace, and the Desert Hero are all there; although I don't know who the other three women who were overlooking me earlier are, they also don't seem weak.

This setup is already enough to go toe‑to‑toe with many monsters, letting him explore this data world with confidence.

Clearly it's a checking device, yet his will has been transferred here……

While observing, stepping, and recalling, he felt the only clue linking him to anything was Nightingale's line: "I'm syncing your data to Chaldea."

If it's that backwater place, having this kind of electronic tech isn't strange—after all, they've really crossed over with FE, and they're the sole Fate/Grand Order‑designated junk heap.

A place that can take any old work needing a reset or a sequel but unwilling, slap a wrapper on it, and shove it into a crossover.

It can be called the graveyard hub of the Fate/Grand Order world.

But… even if the technical skill and art‑style foundation are there, what's the point of turning oneself over?

Shouldn't the check be completed on the spot?

Or does Chaldea have some sort of divine electronic pulse, a cyber diagnosis?

Thinking that, seeing light ahead, he quickened his pace.

Has the electronic disk finished?

He stepped forward, crossed the light gate, and froze in place, for beyond the door was another door, bearing a very ominous dark‑red emblem.

In the square's rectangular diagram, symmetrical‑like patterns are inlaid; seven red dots are all present, and at this moment they simultaneously shoot out blood‑red beams that envelop him.

This……

A sudden feeling of vexation came over him; the youth unconsciously turned into a demon, in the eye sockets wreathed in black flame, white points of light trembled irregularly, gazing at the human‑evil pattern on the door, he felt Chaldea was probably even more absurd than he'd imagined.

And on that massive stone slab door, the red dots in the diagram went out one by one, leaving only the residual red dot at the upper left, which then turned into a dark‑red pattern resembling a ram's skeleton.

Now the true human evil has manifested……

He silently watched the gate slowly open; within, countless dark‑red roots intertwined, stabilizing the holy pedestal.

It is magnificent and grand, with a breathtaking view ahead, but……

It doesn't look like a hospital at all.

Damn it, that's Solomon's Temple of Time!
