In short, Professor Leonardo da Vinci's main research focus was on how to translate these extraordinary abilities into everyday life.

Chapter 155 The Wild Boar Princess - The Embarrassing Version
The 10th school district.
This area houses most of the research facilities, including those for nuclear energy and bacteriological research. Thanks to its supportive environment, regulations, and equipment, it is also the world's largest research center.
Chaldea Research Center, third floor.
"Dr. Roman? What are you doing here?" As soon as she arrived at the door, Mochizuki Oboro ran into the King of Slacking Off.
"Haha..." Dr. Roman scratched the back of his head: "What a coincidence."
Judging from the uniform Dr. Roman was wearing, Mochizuki Oboro felt that his identity should be more than just a school doctor.
"You're going to volunteer with Professor Da Vinci, right? I'm also in charge of another research project here."
Mochizuki Oboro teased, "She's really hiding her true strength. The one who's the only one who's been pushed by Magical Mermaid is actually a hidden elite."
Having had some dealings with Merlin, Mochizuki Oboro naturally knew that the real operator of that virtual idol account was Merlin.
However, fantasy is a haven for people to escape reality and heal themselves, so Mochizuki Oboro felt that it was better not to reveal the cruel and bloody truth to Dr. Roman.
"Although I'd love to slack off a bit more, it's time for me too." Dr. Roman waved his hand. "Goodbye. The research atmosphere at Da Vinci's place must be quite relaxed."
On the surface, he's a nice, lazy, and lazy school doctor, but behind the scenes, he's a vice director and researcher... which is quite a contrast.
Professor Leonardo da Vinci's research areas were not far apart; they were just a two-minute walk from this ridiculously large research building.
Leonardo da Vinci, a model of diligence, had many research topics, including followers, technology, and art, and can be considered one of the most famous Chaldean researchers.
Upon arriving at her destination, Abigail was momentarily overwhelmed.
On the left are displayed all kinds of honorary certificates, photos, badges and certificates, as numerous as a child's building blocks, while on the right is a large cabinet filled with paper materials on various topics she has been researching to date.
In addition, there is a series of props, which appear to have been made by Leonardo da Vinci himself, making it a feast for the eyes.
"Welcome. Now, I would appreciate your cooperation."
The renowned Professor Leonardo da Vinci was completely unpretentious: "If I remember correctly, it was Medea, Abigail, Castor, and Mochizuki Oboro?"
“How did you know?” Castor asked in surprise.
Da Vinci pointed to his temple: "There are quite a few superpowered individuals, but only a few dozen Servants. You can easily remember them. And there is only one Master. It's hard not to know him."
"Um, how exactly should we coordinate?" Abigail asked, somewhat unsure. "Because we lack experience in all aspects, there might be some..."
Da Vinci smiled and said, "Just relax. Today we're just collecting your physical data, it's very simple."
The human body is a sophisticated instrument.
When experiencing different emotions such as joy, sadness, fear, anger, or thirst, specific bodily data will change accordingly.
What Da Vinci wants to do today is to collect data on the Servants and compare them with normal people.
Deliberate stimulation alone will not be effective; only by using different scenario simulations to exert a subtle influence can we obtain the most authentic and reliable samples.
"Understood, what do we need to do?" Mochizuki asked.
Da Vinci pulled out four bracelets: "Just wear these. I will give you different tasks; just approach them with a playful attitude to achieve your goals."
"It sounds pretty simple." Medea thought it wasn't difficult.
……
The simulation room is one of Chaldea's most successful technological developments. It can simulate spaces that are infinitely close to reality, including beaches, forests, mountains, and more. The realism of the experience is so great that it is hard to distinguish between virtual and reality.
However, due to limitations in space and cost, it is not open to the public, and only a select few have the right to use it. Leonardo da Vinci was one of them.
The first set location is a forest, and the task is to find the code that Leonardo da Vinci hid in a corner.
The first to go in were Mochizuki and Castor.
"Wow, that's amazing."
Castor looked up at the towering trees above him.
The lush, dense forest, the dappled sunlight filtering through the trees, and even the humidity and temperature perfectly replicate the state of a real forest.
You can even feel the texture of tree bark and grass by reaching out and touching it.
There were also strange little insects and small animals in the forest, which turned the bewildered Castor into a curious child, touching and exploring everything.
“It’s no different from reality now.” Mochizuki Oboro plucked a leaf and slowly rubbed it in her hand. The green sap that seeped out and the unique grassy smell were exactly the same.
Sight, smell, touch, and hearing—the scenes in the simulation room have perfectly fooled the brain.
Caster belatedly remembered the requirements: "Oh right, I think the mission has a time limit of fifteen minutes."
“Then let’s get to work. Since the password is hidden somewhere, there must be a clue,” Mochizuki Oboro said.
Mochizuki Oboro took the initiative to clear away the bushes ahead, while the servant with better eyesight, the Wild Boar Princess, was responsible for observing any possible clues in the surroundings.
Xixisuosuo.
?
Where did the sound come from?
A large snake flicked its tongue and met Castor's eyes.
"Waaaaaah!!! Senior, help me!"
Caster immediately hid behind Mochizuki Oboro, clutching her clothes tightly, not daring to even peek out.
Although he has always had a wild personality, Custer grew up in a friendly environment and hardly encountered any setbacks, let alone face such a ferocious creature.
She had only ever seen snakes of such exaggerated size in documentaries like "Animal World".
"Aren't you a Servant? Judging by your physical abilities..."
"Why is there another wolf behind us?!"
Mochizuki felt a weight on his back as he suddenly took on Castor's entire weight.
The shameful Wild Boar Princess has completely left the ground, changed her class to Rider, and is now riding Mochizuki Oboro.
"Calm down, it's just a simulation, they shouldn't have the ability to actually hurt people."
"I'm sorry, but I'll have to trouble you to take care of them, senior!"
Castor closed his eyes, fully embodying the spirit of self-deception: "As long as I can't see it, it's fine."
Just as Mochizuki Oboro deduced, Leonardo da Vinci simply wanted to collect data on Servants in a state of fright.
Although the simulation room does have combat training capabilities, it is not yet open to volunteers.
"May I try, Professor Leonardo da Vinci?"
“That’s possible. But I would set it to disappear a split second before the attack takes effect,” Da Vinci said.
[Skill "Star Premonition (C)" has been activated. Additional attributes "Constitution (C)" and "Agility (C)" remain active.]
……
Shame on Dafa.
Caster followed half a step behind Mochizuki Oboro, head down, face flushed.
The task was completed, but I was too ashamed to look up.
Although the actions taken in a state of shock could be considered instinctive, it was still shameful.
It's ridiculous that someone who's a Servant still has to rely on their senior...
If Abigail and the others hadn't refrained from mocking him, Caster would have truly perished on the spot.
"The data collected is satisfactory." Leonardo da Vinci nodded. "Next, Abigail, please."

Chapter 156 Open the Door
The world is diverse.
Although Castor was supposed to provide "fright," it turned into "happiness" for Abigail.
The forest has become a pleasant and relaxing lounge, and Mochizuki Oboro's task is to "make Abigail happy," and she must stay here for half an hour regardless of whether she completes the task or not.
Make the girl happy.
It sounds simple, but it's actually not difficult at all—this only applies to Mochizuki Oboro's actual hands-on experience.
[Skills "Charm of the Source (C)" and "Floral Splendor (A)" have been activated. The additional attribute "Charm (C)" remains active.]
She hadn't had the chance before, but now, being alone with him, Abigail began to understand why so many people were attracted to her senior.
This is a terrifying attraction that has nothing to do with appearance, but comes from the very source of the soul; it's like an inescapable black hole.
The only way to protect yourself is to stay far away; otherwise, if you get too close, you'll be pulled in and fall into the abyss.
...Has she already been affected? Abigail couldn't help but wonder.
"Senior, you don't need to think too hard about how to make me happy. Just chat with me as you please." Abigail smiled sweetly.
Mochizuki nodded knowingly: "Then let's talk about things we like."
"First, of course, is to make flatbread! Adding cheese makes it soft and gooey, and it would be even better with some crispy bacon. Mashed potatoes topped with hot gravy would also be nice... Would you like to come to the cooking class to try some when you go back to school? I'll prepare it."
"Indeed, food is a universal and unchanging topic."
"Right? Everyone becomes very harmonious when food is mentioned."
"Not necessarily. Abby, have you heard of the dispute between the sweet and salty factions?"
Mochizuki gave many examples, such as sweet and savory rice dumplings, sweet and savory tofu pudding, and sweet and savory scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
No one can escape conflict. Even the wisest of sages have their own preconceived notions.
The casual conversation ranged from drinks to clothes, and then from travel to accommodation. Under the influence of her almost irrational skills, Abigail's mood could already be described as "happy."
"Have you switched personality modes?" Mochizuki Oboro looked at Abigail, who was sitting in the hammock.
Abigail swung her snow-white legs, "I'm in bad boy mode now because I haven't been out for fresh air in a long time."
“His appearance has changed a bit, but the difference isn’t too great.” Mochizuki Oboro observed, stroking her chin. “The most significant difference should be in his personality.”
"It's a witch~" Abigail's smile became more mischievous: "Does senior want to open the door?"
"Door?"
Abigail deftly rose from the hanging chair, came to Mochizuki Oboro's side, took his hand, and gently placed it on her forehead.
“A sight that is incomprehensible to ordinary people, a sight that can dissolve one’s mind and body with just one glance, may be just an ordinary thing to you.”
Time stands still.
[Wow, it seems the senior has encountered a rather unusual situation.]
[A: Open the "door".] (Unlocks Abigail's route, ???)
[B: Ask what the "door" is.] (Unlocks Abigail's route, ???)
[C: Asking where the "key" is.] (???)
Why are there so many question marks... Could something really terrible be about to pop out?
Well, seeing is believing.
"Then let's open it and take a look."
Just before Mochizuki Oboro was about to move his finger, Abigail playfully grabbed his wrist.
“It’s a bit early now, let’s talk about it later.” Abigail stuck out her tongue: “But I’m quite surprised that a senior would dare to do this.”
The heretical witch would normally disturb his inner peace, but he remained completely unaffected.
That's strange. Could it be that that addictive quality has a counteracting effect?
