Magician in Type-Moon

"Master, we have detected that this magic workshop is surrounded by multiple barriers. Only the entrance to the mountain path can be easily breached."

Kenneth, who had been waiting at Mount Enzo for some time, had indeed deliberately let his Servants tour around Fuyuki before arriving at this place.

The purpose was to expose the identities and whereabouts of other Heroic Spirits and Masters.

The reason why Matou Pond was chosen as the primary target is...

He had actually participated in this Holy Grail War once before.

However, that attempt was abandoned halfway through.

The process was only halfway through when an agent claiming to be her niece inexplicably arrived in Fuyuki.

They also brought a strange organization calling themselves Chaldea to participate in this battle.

He even deceived himself, saying that 'Chaldea' was an organization he established after the Holy Grail War.

How could that be? How could I possibly waste my talents on something so useless as protecting humanity? Ridiculous! The El-Melloi family's plans are not about such things.

The guy from the future who called himself El-Melloi II even found my 'love letters' in his study.

Isn't this just telling yourself that you won't survive this Holy Grail War?

I realized this at the time, so I listened to that guy.

They obediently sat on the private jet back to London, but ironically...

Before the plane even left Asia, it was inexplicably hit by a missile, and he and Solau perished in the sea.

"To die so ridiculously is worse than to die in the Holy Grail War," he thought to himself on his deathbed.

But when he woke up again, he was sitting in his study, holding a nonsensical paper from a delusional student.

This fellow actually submitted this paper to the aristocratic monarch El-Melloi, openly proclaiming this view in such a clock tower.

Is he not afraid of death?

So on that day, he was filled with resentment towards death, anger at the students' ignorance and arrogance, and displeasure at the theft of his sacred relics.

As a lecturer, during his lecture, he bluntly tore away the last fig leaf of his student, Webber Velvet, and belittled everything about Webber as a magician.

The next day, he learned that his relics had been stolen again.

But he had no intention of pursuing it further. He was ready to give up on the Holy Grail War. If he couldn't win, couldn't he at least avoid it?

Over the next few days, he began investigating the Chaldea organization that El-Melloi II had mentioned.

This is, after all, a great magic trick that allows one to travel from the future to the past, comparable to magic itself.

Although no accurate information about the organization 'Chaldea' was ultimately found, the fragmented pieces all pointed to the monarch of the Celestial Department—'Animusphia'.

The monarch of the Celestial Sciences also seemed to have realized that someone was investigating him, and discovered that the person was none other than Kenneth, who was also a monarch.

That led to the meeting that Solau had mentioned earlier.

The meeting didn't go very far; it was just a discussion about magic.

After that, Kenneth concluded that Chaldea was something created by the Animusphia family.

But as the day of the Holy Grail War drew closer, a stigmata, a Command Seal, appeared on the back of Kenneth's hand.

A voice from the depths of his being told him that the path to salvation lay within it.

Will you die if you participate in the Holy Grail War, or will you die if you don't participate?

By this time, news of Kenneth's stolen relic had spread inside the clock tower; it was a foolish act committed by a student who had been insulted by Kenneth in class.

The Celestial Sovereign, who had recently established a friendship with Kenneth, offered to sponsor a relic to help Kenneth reclaim the honor that belonged to the Clock Tower.

Kenneth looked at himself being swept along and couldn't help but chuckle.

Having learned of his own destiny, Kenneth began preparing for this seemingly inevitable Holy Grail War.

However, when he arrived in Fuyuki, he discovered a major problem.

It seems that the original Master of the Matou family was not someone named Matou Ike.

"The path to the temple? If we abandon that entrance, can we break through the protective barrier directly, Lancer?"

Everything was defended, but one weakness was left that was obvious at a glance.

It seems suspicious no matter how you look at it.

Kenneth made a quick decision, ordering his followers to abandon attacking from weak points and instead launch a direct assault on the turtle shell.

"Understood. Please witness my piercing strike, Master!"

Before the words were finished, a deep blue light gathered in the sky above Ryudong Temple, and the air currents flowed with the operation of magic.

That was a torrent called 'Power', which swept up all the surrounding air, creating a vacuum in the sky.

The spectators were all impressed; it was an overwhelming force.

Tonight, the strongest in this Holy Grail War might just be that azure figure, that proud figure standing atop Ryudouji Temple.

At the foot of the nearby mountain, the eyes of both tourists and locals were drawn to that beam of light.

Curious onlookers even took out their cameras to record this unusual sight, intending to post it on the internet.

......

At this moment, Kirei Kotomine, who was receiving treatment at the Tohsaka residence, was getting restless.

In front of him was a round mirror made of crystal, a magic prop passed down from the Tohsaka family.

It can project images onto the mirror using the eyes of familiars.

While the figure standing atop Ryudouji Temple was still making his pilgrimage in Fuyuki, Tokiomi Tohsaka dispatched his familiar to try and ascertain the Servant's intentions.

He also instructed Kirei to send out Assassin as well.

Kirei was originally supposed to go along to gather intelligence, which was his main job as a member of Tohsaka's side.

However, today, while chasing Berserker, we happened to run into Matouike's group.

He suffered extensive burns to half of his body and is currently receiving magical treatment at the Tohsaka residence.

Fortunately, the decision made at the time was correct, and he avoided most of the damage by swimming in the river. After recovering, he was able to continue participating in the war.

The scene reflected in the mirror at that moment made both Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei feel irritated.

However, unlike others, Tokiomi Tohsaka was annoyed that his opponent this time was someone whose performance was comparable to that of the 'King of Heroes'.

Kirei, on the other hand, was troubled about how the Church should handle the aftermath of such a battle. Should they perform a suggestive magic trick for the entire Fuyuki community?

"Qili..."

"teacher..."

They both called each other by name, clearly troubled by the image reflected in the mirror.

"Kiri, you go first."

“I think we should contact my father as soon as possible and get the people at the Holy Church to start taking action. Otherwise, if things continue to develop, it will be difficult to handle.”

"Yes, I've already communicated with Mr. Risei about this matter, while this guy was still touring Fuyuki."

Tokiomi Tohsaka truly lived up to his reputation as an experienced magician; in terms of advance preparation, he was almost the best among all Masters.

However, in carrying out the operation, things always go wrong, as if they are under some kind of curse.

"By the way, Kirei, let Assassin try to find this Heroic Spirit's Master."

Tokiomi Tohsaka pointed at the figure in the mirror and gave Kirei the order.

"Teacher, you mean, we should..."

"Yes, that's right. I'm also a little scared when I'm facing someone like that."

Before Kirei could finish his sentence, Tokiomi interrupted him.

In Kirei's view, his teacher was a magician who upheld aristocratic values, though he did not deliberately maintain a persona of moral justice.

However, the principle of Heroic Spirit versus Heroic Spirit, and Magician versus Magician, should not be violated until the very last moment.

But now that the war has just begun, they are already trying to use this method to defeat a powerful enemy.

“I understand.” Kirei said no more, but conveyed the order to the Assassin present through his own contract.

......

The summit of Yuanzang Mountain.

Rider and Webber stopped here, chasing after Lancer.

"This can't be real! This level of intensity is practically cheating! It's not fair, it's not fair!"

Unlike his anxious Master beside him, the Servant Iskandar became even more excited, and he gulped down the wine bottle in his hand.

Then he casually tossed the empty bottle aside and burst into laughter.

"Interesting, very interesting. Only such heroic spirits are worthy of my conquest and trampling!"

"Ugh, all you can do is spout nonsense. Even if you used your tank to ram him head-on, we'd be the ones getting crushed!"

Upon hearing this, Rider pulled a book from his pocket and smashed it directly on Weber's head.

"Boy, why do you always like to say things that boost the morale of others? Even if I am at a disadvantage when I fight against him, I am not the only Noble Phantasm I have, 'The Wheel of Divine Might'."

Thinking of his servant's second Noble Phantasm, Waver felt a little more at ease, but he was still somewhat impatient.

Seeing that his master was so impatient, he threw the book he had just used to smash his head in front of Waver.

"Boy, instead of jumping around here like a flea, why don't you read a book to me?"

"What are you doing?! This is the Holy Grail War! The Holy Grail War! Don't you even understand?! How can you have no sense of crisis at all?! And why did you bring this book to the battlefield?!!"

Weber tried to reprimand his servant in a serious manner so that his servant would understand the importance and urgency of the matter.

"The Iliad is a book with profound meaning. Even on the battlefield, I sometimes think of passages from it. If I don't read it on the spot, I might not even be able to swing my sword."

Hearing his own servant utter such nonsensical words, curiosity still overcame reason.
