Y'know with all the new Isekai concepts coming out, I wonder if there is an isekai concept for "Reincarnated as a Truck that sends people to other worlds"

That moment when you have a billion ideas and can't write them all down
Aww, but darling you must understand that for this to be obligating there must first be a concession of trust from the employer in order to show that they are willing to meet the necessary payment of their employee. Thus in order for this work to be done for you, I need you to sign this legal documentation showing that you'll pay me what is outlined in the document
Proceeds to slam down the largest pile of papers the world has ever seen

Well I assume the friendship will probably be simultaneously manipulative of eachother and yet at the same time they'd likely be doing it out of the concern for the others wellbeing.
Standing at 5ft 6in or 167cm tall, Millia weighs 54kg, she takes great care in her presentablity and is known to wear formal dress to 'casual' events.
Personality: Her personality is at least at first glance upbeat, cheerful and apparently aloof to her surroundings, exuding an aura of calm and composure one would expect of Pembroke. However this personality is a lie crafted in order to meet the societal expectations of her family and of other magus, The True Personality of Millia Pembroke ruthlessly ambitious, scheming and manipulative, a woman that knows how to play on peoples expectations in order to meet her ambitions, though there seems to be more to her machinations then just a hunger for power.
Abilities: Reinforcement: The magic of improving something fits complementary with her using man-made technologies to fit in her kit as a result of her sister inheriting the crest over her. She commonly uses this magic in order to improve the items in her arsenal. Such as improving a gun to be unable to jam so she can fire it off safely in quick succession. Or by applying it to herself in the event fisticuffs are necessary. Her experience with this magic is great enough that she can acutely direct where the energy is being poured into to selective reinforce a single part of her body or a single mechanism of an item in order to conserve mana.
Geis: The magecraft the Pembroke family takes the most pride in and has carved a name for themselves in how frequent they use this magic in order to carve out stakes in magus society, it is not uncommon for the average high-class magus family to have at least one debt however minor to the pembrookes, and its through that political leverage that the family maintains the power it does.
Due to her linage Millia is a heavy practitioner in this mage craft and is capable of using both regular Geis's and the more advanced Self-Geis variant on other individuals. Which she is known to use liberally in order to further her own agendas.
Firearms training, Deadeye Marksman, Contract Law, Business, Calligraphy, Close Combat (A Dirty Boxer style), and a variety of skills of lesser significance relating to etiquette and language lessons. She has an average quantity of circuits but the quality is slightly above average.
History: The Pembroke family linage, known amongst the magus world of being a family of what is effectively magical bureaucrats and contract lawyers, who built their entire fortune is built on the backs of the familys that they screw over with their geis.
Millia and her twin sister were both born into the family at the same time, however her sister was chosenas the designated heir due to her sister showing a greater aptitude in magecraft and having much more potent magical circuits then Millia herself. Tocall her twin a prodigy was an understatement, and Millia lived a majority of her childhood in the shadow of her twin knowing that her twin sister would be the one to inherit the massive family fortune and all the political power that came with it. Millia could of course submit to her sister but that didn't line up with her ambitions, thus she decided she'd have to carve her own way in the world.
Even at a young age it wasn't uncommon to see the young Millia sitting in on meetings listening to the intricate ways the Pembroke patriach would screw over the next person that would come in the doors. She both loved it and hated it. To her the Pembroke's had simply became a fat and lazy predator that was just waiting for the food to walk into its mouth. Stagnancy that repulsed her.
Thus the magus set her own bar higher, and worked exceptionally hard to meet her own strict expectations of herself... which is what lead to this day in question where she was leaving to go study abroad in this new 'island nation' certainly she wanted to learn about foreign ways of doing business, but more so she was happy to use it as a way to springboard her own aspirations. That and it kept her a good 2 hour plane journey away from her do-no-wrong sister.
Other: Millia is fluent in 7 languages, Japanese, English, Mandarin, Korean, German, Latin and finally Welsh. Millia has an inferiority complex regarding her own sister, due to the way she was raised.
A rose by any other name is still a rose. Regardless of his insistence to not be Edmond Dantes, his true name is labeled as Edmond Dantes, Which means that the individual is indeed Edmond Dantes. However in Avenger's mind he does not believe himself to be Edmond Dantes because Edmond dantes had a happy ending while he can never have such a thing due to his class.
His Identity however is a moot point, since Count of Monte Cristo and Edmond Dantes as names go hand in hand. The true name is Edmond Dantes. Its basically comparaing Vlad III (Extra) vs Vlad III (Apocrypha) both have equal claim to be Vlad the impaler, So regardless of this whatever it is your arguing over, it does not change his true name from being Edmond Dantes .
I never said infinite mana, I merely said Mana would be a non-issue as a result of the stop-gap measure of his skills. There will likely not be a case where he will ever exceed his supply as a result. Likewise Dante's NP and Okita's skill are functionally different. One is a 'timestop' brought about moving so fast that it is as if time itself has stopped. The other is teleportion. Both have their merits but one is infinitly more difficult to defend against.
Likewise you keep harping on servant v Servant encounters but not what the real threat of this skill is. The Hit and Run, a near light speed punch to the face is gonna to blow your torso clean off thus He is moving at such a speed he could insta gib a master and likely escape in one fluid motion with the minorist of injuries from said masters servant if the servant is even close enough to their master to even do anything. So while Okita has her TP she is still *slower* then dantes who is moving a speed that breaks free of the prisons of space and time, as to teleport she has to be moving within time, but when dantes moves with his np its like time has stopped. Logically meaning that hes moving faster then it takes her to teleport.
To bring closure to all of this rambling and because my clarity has been lost on me on this fine morning of caffeine infused insomnia, I was actually offering an expansion on his level of control over his NP, lower speed longer duration of speed to avoid having to explain away a scenario of why Dantes doesn't just perform the insta-gib of the enemy master since Dantes isn't restrained to such conventions as honour.
I just feel that the notion of this came off on the wrong foot. I was never saying Dantes was stronger then Gil, Although he technically could do some damage to Gilgamesh while Gil is charging up Ea, I do not think that a Gilgamesh going serious would have any issue with the count, even if serious gilgamesh is a rarity.. I was saying Dantes is scary because of how 'hit and run' the NP can be used as. Time stops like what this NP is capable of doing with, due to its space-time breaking levels of speed. Effectively render fights against the count to always be escort missions where one failed defense results in an immediate lost except the enemy has speed haxs and you are lagging.
This was the Issue with Dantes, not his servant v servant capablities, but playing him as an assassin. With speed like that, you don't need sneaking.
SO TLDR: to avoid using Dantes as quite possibly the strongest Hit and Run user this side of Achilles, I wanted to add the capacity that dantes can lower his speed for an increase duration to his NP, which reveals his true name not that it is an issue since the moment he uses his weapon it does that anyway.
With the increased duration of a sustain speed boost making him fast, but not unreactionably fast, Count can burn mana for speed, making healthy fast paced servant fights, which brings up his sustain a bit, while still making him a glass cannon (since hes burning mana for both attacks and movement) without resorting to the logical conclusion of murdering the servants mana supply in a manner that anyone without a reality deafying NP would have difficults defending against.
The first bit about Dante's viewing himself is pulled solely from tidbits about his lore presented in the extra content and the game content. Showing that his true name is indeed Edmond Dantes, yet hes having a crisis of consious because he has the memories that Edmond Dantes had a happy ending. Yet here he is, stuck in as a demon of revenge perpetually, without his mistress.
Many of this stuff I'm pulling for him comes from his Bond information you get in FGO, which apparently your wiki isn't showing.
Moving on from that. I have not once said that the activation of his NP would not reveal his true name. Merely I am expressing the fact that the potential exists for him to hold back how fast he is going (since the NP doesn't actually force him to move at all, rather its an expression of him breaking free of the prisons of body, time and space), likewise. His NP does not appear to have a cooldown or rest period required between activations beyond mana. So really your not really showing why Dantes couldn't activate it, stop activating it and activate it again in order to achieve short but efficient bursts of movement. Afterall, it doesn't appear to be an NP like Excalibur where he has to go all in at once, The Attack at the end afterall isn't actually part of the NP, merely what he decides to do as an attack during the NP.
So what I am saying is, is that Dante's speed Hax, has alot of flexiblity.
So moving back to what I said, What is stopping him bar mana supply (and nto even that due to avenger class skills) from spamming his NP a little bit in order to move with quick bursts, (this of course doesn't mean hes agile in fisticuffs, it just means he can cover alot of ground)
@Raineh Daze (moving on from talking about subjective brokenness)
He is Edmond Dantes, as the grail summons the servant in its prime of life. (In this case the count), The main reason for his refusal of being Edmond Dantes and the fact that even though he has memories of the ending to dantes story, is that oblivion correction forces him to remember all the pain and suffering he had inflicted upon him, leading him to perpetually be stuck in his revenge state of mind, That is afterall a caveat of the avenger class in that they cannot forget, That and well his mistress isn't alive to prevent his murderous compulsion
Source 1: His True Name is indeed Edmond Dantes, but he perceives himself as a different person from the "Edmond Dantes" who was a seaman from Marseille. The reason being that "Edmond Dantes" abandoned his evil nature at the end of the gruesome revenge tragedy in Paris... but I, who manifested as a Servant, continue to be the "image of a nemesis". In that case, I am not Edmond - or so he says <- This is eternally due to the nature of his class container. Source 2: My beloved mistress (Haydee) is nowhere in this world, so this body shall remain a demon of vengeance for all eternity--
Source 3: Memory Correction is a Class Skill of the Avenger class. People are creatures that forget many things, but an Avenger never forgets. The critical effect of Avengers who attack from beyond one's memory is strengthened.
Dantes has been shown in the EoR trailer for Shinjuku to use his NP as a means of movement without appearing to even break a sweat doing so however it does seem he is not even close to using his top speed (since even if we factor in servant speeds, the speed dante is moving is nto even close to the speed of light aka his top speed with the NP), other then this, it hasn't actually been shown if Dantes can use his NP as a means of travelling, as his NP generally shows him using it to launch a multi directional attack, which is so fast it is akin to a time stop.
However the way it functions appears that the NP is flexible in its speed and therefore its duration, Obviously Dantes going all out could simultaneously only defeat 100 people maximum with 1 NP activation however, that only appears if he is going all out speed of light. Not really factoring in the fact it appears he can use the NP in a diluted fashion for bursts of speed.
Notice in the first three seconds that Dantes is moving at a speed that is re-actionable , meaning that he isn't using his full output. So hes either conserving mana or holding back. but this does show the np can be used in a diluted state.
Dante's Luck is actually extreme on both ends of the spectrum. It is extremely good and extremely bad, and thus falls under unquantifiable. There is a reason people compare Dantes to Nagito besides of course the artist.
To call dante's extreme luck in his lore.
Extremely good luck -> Meeting the Old man Extremely bad luck -> The reason why he even met the old man in the first place.
Course this is noticably worse then always having good luck, but not as bad as always having bad luck.
-----------
Trying not to be a nuisance though so if need be I can shush about dantes since most of this is hypotheticals anyway..
