Interested in Becoming the Director?

According to the original plan, Chaldea should be easy to control and infiltrate. With just a few tricks and using the Clock Tower as a springboard, the plan could be easily completed.

But who knew that Chaldea would become so formidable, causing the original invasion plan to collapse midway. In the end, it took a lot of effort to break into the Clock Tower and rely on that stoic, cheerful priest to arrange things and enter Chaldea before figuring out how to complete the plan.

But who could have imagined that what that guy meant by "completing" was actually sending him to Chaldea to do menial tasks and please that so-called god of True Magic?!

The idea of having to genuinely please a human being Koyanskaya.

But there was no other way. After all, when the other party first appeared, she had already sensed the dangerous aura emanating from them, as well as from the blonde woman. Each of them was incredibly powerful, practically gods reborn. Of course, she wouldn't risk her life.

So... since there was absolutely no other way, she decided to use her looks to blend in.

No matter what, we need to wait for the Fantasy Tree to fall to the ground quickly; that will be their time to shine.

So, she put on a pitiful look, looked at the hesitant Dr. Roman, and said...

"Please take me in! I'll be punished if I don't complete this mission. Besides, I'm not useless. I'm skilled in both modern technology and Magecraft! I'll definitely be of help!"

"I see..."

Koyanskaya tried to sway Dr. Roman by playing the victim or seducing him, but as a true otaku, Dr. Roman was not about to be fooled. However, he did think that the skills she mentioned were indeed suitable for Chaldea, and he could give him a try to apply for the job later.

And so, the support from the Clock Tower was delivered to Chaldea, plane after plane.

These materials are extremely valuable, with prices reaching hundreds of millions! Among them are a large number of top-tier treasures that are priceless and unavailable for sale!

The Clock Tower's eagerness to curry favor with Chaldea today is undoubtedly due to Rovey's influence.

Putting aside previous speculations, the sheer act of silently creating an Age of Gods Runes covering about a kilometer in size is enough to earn him the title of a god of True Magic. This is the Mari and power that these Magus crave.

Since the Clock Tower has gone this far, Rovey decided to temporarily abandon the idea of taking action against Clock Tower.

The Clock Tower problem has now been resolved.

The rest will have to be handled by Dr. Roman working overtime.

At this moment, Artoria was sitting quietly to one side of the room, listening to the conversation between Rovey and Weber.

The two first talked about their understanding of each other in different worlds, and then they talked about the Fourth Holy Grail War and Kenneth- sensei.

When Weber heard that his counterpart from another world had also fought alongside Iskandar and ultimately grown stronger, his expression was one of nostalgia.

When he heard that Mr. Kenneth had survived and returned to the Clock Tower, his anxiety finally subsided.

He silently recited it to himself.

That's great, that's great... Mr. Kenneth survived.

Even though it wasn't his own world, he couldn't help but shed tears upon hearing the good news.

However, when he asked whether his counterpart in the other world had come to terms with reality and obediently stayed in the Clock Tower as a lecturer, instead of struggling to pay off his debts like he did, since Kenneth was still alive and Rovey was so outstanding, he was surprised to hear such questions.

Rovey's answer made his stomach ache again.

"That's right, there are no more debt problems."

However, because your performance was so good, Mr. Kenneth trusted you so much that he simply assigned all the paperwork to you.

Moreover, I felt this wasn't your limit, so I entrusted my paperwork to you as well.

Otherwise, guess how I had the time to appear in this world?

Listening to Rovey's description, Weber seemed to see, in a different world, a gaunt figure hunched over a desk, nearly driven to despair.

He suddenly perked up.

What kind of human suffering is this?!

Chapter 329 Are you interested in becoming the station chief?

"I see, so such a thing actually happened in another world."

"As expected, things in parallel worlds are hard to predict. The Second Magic is truly amazing."

Inside the research station, a profound sigh came from Weber.

After getting rid of those troublesome Magus, Rovey, Weber, and Artoria chatted in the relatively clean room.

At this moment, Weber's demeanor was noticeably more cheerful than before, compared to his initial restraint, apprehension, and uncertainty, especially after learning what he wanted to know.

Although he had envisioned it not long ago --

What if things were different in some unknown world, and what if his fate and future were altered—the so-called "what if" scenarios in the game? But after hearing so many strange and wondrous tales firsthand, he couldn't help but be astonished.

First, there's the change in Kenneth's fate, and then there's the change in my own life. It's fair to say that the World Line is completely different from what I experienced; it's been a radical transformation.

Although Weber felt a pang of sympathy at the thought that he was still destined to be a workaholic, he couldn't help but feel envious when he thought about how Professor Kenneth was still alive, that his future subject would be Mineralogy Department instead of Department of Modern Magecraft, and that he would have a teacher to back him up.

Is it possible to live a world where you don't have to work yourself to the bone to get ahead, where someone else is there to back you up?

I'm really envious...

After so many years of struggling in places like the Clock Tower, he had long since come to terms with reality and realized the gap between himself and Professor Kenneth.

Putting aside the difference in Magecraft talent, the fact that Professor Kenneth could achieve such a position in that place, suppress public opinion, and command the respect of other Lord is something I could never do.

He had wondered if things would be much easier for him if Professor Kenneth were still alive, and whether the El-Melloi Faction would have survived. Now, his speculations have been answered.

Sure enough, everything turned out exactly as I had imagined.

If that incident hadn't happened, perhaps everything would have been better.

This inevitably made Weber somewhat envious of his counterpart in another world, who was free from debt, burdened by the loss of his teacher, had a respectable mentor, and had a reliable protector. Apart from paperwork, he had nothing to worry about and could pursue his ideals. Wasn't this exactly what he desired?

Although they are all like Weber Velvet, he would be happy for the other person, but it's impossible not to feel envious, since that's his biggest dream right now.

The point of disagreement between them, which enabled them to accomplish all this, was precisely this figure before them.

Looking at Rovey, who was completely different from the figure in his memory, Weber couldn't help but sigh. The change in him was too great. He also felt awe for Lovi's talent, ability and achievements, and regret for his death in this world.

Yes, the difference between these two worlds is precisely because of Rovey's death.

When Weber learned that in another world, not only himself, but also Rovey had participated in the Holy Grail War behind Kenneth's back in pursuit of his wish, and as a result not only saved Kenneth and himself, but also defeated the invincible King of Heroes with his Servant and obtained the final Holy Grail, Weber was surprised and incredulous.

After all, he had personally experienced the terror and shock of the Enuma Elish with his king, and it was hard to imagine that such an opponent could be defeated by humans.

But the facts are right in front of us.

Just because you can't doesn't mean Rovey can't.

There are differences between people, and the other person probably only got to where they are today by winning that Holy Grail War.

Looking at Rovey, Weber was filled with longing, as well as a fear of the unknown.

Although he didn't show anything particularly special, the way he casually unleashed an Age of Gods rune was simply too shocking.

Although there is no evidence, at this moment, Weber is certain that Rovey's rank is indeed Grand Rank, and not just Grand Rank, but probably has truly reached the level of the Age of Gods, reaching the Root and touching the Mari.

The ultimate goal that Magus pursue...

It truly inspires both admiration and respect.

At the same time, he also felt sorry for Rovey in his own world.

According to the intelligence he gathered, Rovey in his world died in an unorthodox séance. If he had lived, he might have had a chance to reach the Mari.

However, he couldn't guarantee it either.

After all, this could very well be one of countless tiny possibilities, an unrepeatable miracle.

In short, he was indeed quite happy.

Not only was her inner conflict resolved, but she also learned that Rovey and the others were not enemies and would not destroy the world. She had also saved her own life, and that was enough.

After that, they also noticed that it had become noisy outside.

Rovey knew that Dr. Roman had arrived.

Weber wanted to go out to greet him, but Rovey stopped him by raising his hand.

He then told Weber to wait there for him to come in; there was no need for him to go out. Dr. Roman was probably trapped in a circle of Magus right now, and there was still plenty of time to talk about what he really wanted to know.

"What you really want to know...?"

By saying this, Rovey's meaning was quite clear: what Weber really wanted to know was about Iskandar.

When he heard Rovey bring it up, he was incredibly excited. He had long heard about Chaldea's Heroic Spirit Summoning System, and he had always longed for the opportunity to see Istandal again.

However, he was forced to miss the next Holy Grail War in this world because he had to deal with the Demonic Beast disaster at the Albion Spirit Tomb, which naturally became a regret. Now that he has learned about Chaldea's Heroic Spirit System, he naturally wants to know the answer.

And Rovey gave him an answer that did not disappoint him.

"The King of Conquerors? Yes, Iskandar was indeed summoned."

"What?! Your Majesty, is he here too? Where is he?"

Upon hearing this news, Weber stood up excitedly.

"Could you take me to see him?!"

He abandoned his reserved demeanor and looked at Rovey with utmost seriousness.

Although Weber always appears mature and composed, he loses his composure and struggles to maintain his usual calm when it comes to matters concerning the King of Conquerors.

Rovey was well aware of this.

"Calm down first."

He raised his hand, signaling Weber to calm down, and then explained, "It was summoned, not here, but Iskandar is not currently in Chaldea; he perished during the Human Order Restoration."

"What..."

Hearing this news was like a bucket of cold water being poured over Weber's head, and it quickly calmed him down.

"Oh, I see... I'm sorry, I lost my composure."

He then realized his lapse in composure and apologized.

"It's alright, it's only human nature."

However, Rovey didn't care about this at all. Instead of saying anything, he told him some news that made him even more uneasy.

"Don't be too sad. Although Iskandar died a long time ago, his Spirit Origin record has been preserved. We can summon him again once everything calms down, but it may take some time."

Rovey looked at Weber and said with a smile, "You can meet him again. Although the Iskandar summoned by Chaldea may be different from the King of Conquerors in your memory because of the different aspects of Servant, I can assure you that they are all Iskandar."

"Really?!" This news was undoubtedly fantastic for Weber. His eyes widened in disbelief.

"Of course it's true."

Rovey nodded and asked, "When have I ever lied to you?"

"..."

Weber did not answer this question.

He wasn't close to Rovey in his own world, but from Luo Wei's personality and words, he could deduce that his other self must have a good relationship with Rovey, only that the way they were good seemed different from what he had imagined.

The other person must enjoy messing with you, but also has your own interests at heart.

Not to mention, the other party has no reason to lie to me.

"However... I have another suggestion, would you like to hear it?"

Just as Weber was still happy to be able to see Iskandar again, Rovey spoke up again.

"Please speak."

Weber immediately became serious; he now had a very good impression of Rovey.

"Interested in coming to Chaldea to work overtime? Pshaw, I mean, to be the new director?"

"I can't help but ask," Rovey asked with a smile.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this news, Weber was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. He looked at Rovey in disbelief, then pointed to himself and asked.

"Who? The director of Chaldea? Are you talking about me?"

Is there anyone else here besides you?

Rovey countered with a question.

"No, wait, this is too sudden."

This statement completely baffled Weber. He never expected Rovey to suddenly bring up such a thing, so he quickly waved his hand in refusal.

"How could I possibly become the director of Chaldea? Isn't Chaldea an institution of Department of Astromancy? Besides, how could someone like me possibly take on such a responsibility..."
