A Chaotic Situation

"If I win the Holy Grail War, wouldn't I be able to get my money back with interest?"

The next moment, she suddenly uttered something astonishing.

This statement even startled Rovey for a moment.

He never expected that this guy would have such goals and ideas.

Is winning the Holy Grail War just about money?

That really captures the essence of life.

However, he also realized that Rin Tohsaka's time spent that night had not been in vain; she had clearly gained a much better understanding of the Holy Grail War.

At least she now knows that her wish could eventually come true.

However, to dampen the enthusiasm, Rovey added, "But if you lose, you'll lose double, won't you?"

"How could I possibly lose? I'm among the top ten in London. The Holy Grail War is nothing to me!"

Rin Tohsaka retorted without backing down.

It's not that she's arrogant.

Rin Tohsaka's skill level is top-notch even in London, and she is a top-tier genius in the entire world.

Among the younger generation, she was praised by Kenneth as a genius with the same Grand Rank potential as Sakura.

Therefore, at the end of the semester in London, she consistently ranked in the top ten, only slightly behind her sister, and other exceptional geniuses like Sajyou Manaka and Kirschtaria.

Similarly, this is also the source of Rin Tohsaka's confidence.

She's a genius, how could she lose?

"It's good to be confident. I can roughly guess from your basic physical skills that you're doing very well, but..."

Hearing this, Rovey raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't forget that your competitors aren't just from this year. What if a few monsters or geniuses even more outstanding than you emerge from London? You're not confident you can stand as the world's number one, are you? If that were the case, you wouldn't have been able to get a one-handed spin from me."

"Ah, ah... how is that possible?"

Rin Tohsaka's gaze became somewhat unfocused. "How could London possibly send such a monster along..."

"That's not true. Even you are a participant, so what is impossible? Servant, the Third Magic, crystals, the Root."

Rovey raised a finger and said calmly, "Even Aozaki Touko might be involved. It wouldn't be hard to understand if some monster really appeared here, would it? If it really involves any experiments or important matters, your teacher won't show any mercy. They'll definitely play games with you. At that time, do you have the courage to use Jewel Magecraft to defeat them, potentially ending up heavily in debt?"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's lips twitched.

Honestly.

If anyone claims otherwise, it's absolutely a lie.

Having said all that, she was now ready to surrender, let alone continue fighting.

However, the appearance of the Command Spells means there is no turning back.

Moreover, this was an order from her teacher; if she dared to desert her post, the consequences would be predictable.

At this moment, Rin Tohsaka is in an extremely complicated situation.

However, as the saying goes...

There's always a way out, no matter how dire the situation.

Therefore, Rovey also proposed a highly feasible solution for her.

"You don't need to worry so much. Although your situation is indeed a bit bad right now, it's not a death sentence. There are still other ways."

"What? Are there any other ways?"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's eyes lit up as if she had grasped at a lifeline.

"Yes, there is a second way out."

Rovey shrugged and said, "Since you can't let go of Jewel Magecraft, then we just need to help you earn enough money to use Jewel Magecraft in the short term. Even if you really lose then, things will just be the same as they are now, and things won't get any worse."

"Is there really such a way?!"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's eyes lit up.

"Yes, yes, and there are quite a few methods. Which one would you like to hear about?"

Tell me everything!

Upon hearing that there was a solution, Rin Tohsaka gradually became more enthusiastic and energetic.

"Hmm, it's actually quite simple. I was already thinking about it for you this morning while reading the newspaper."

Rovey unfolded the newspaper, pointed to a few small frames at the top, which contained job postings, and said earnestly:

"You can go out and work now. You can schedule your days and stagger your work and daily routines to earn some money to support your family. And the jobs I've found for you are all high-paying ones."

"Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka's eyes rekindled with hope.

At this moment, this young lady, who had never worked before, could already imagine herself earning enough money to dominate the world.

Until--

"Look, he gets up at three every morning, then goes to deliver milk at four sharp, newspapers at five, breakfast at six, and so on..."

After Rovey meticulously planned out Rin Tohsaka's schedule for the day, from 3 a. m. to 10 p. m., Rin Tohsaka was completely stunned.

"No, that can't be, right?" Rin Tohsaka's eyes began to glaze over, then she said to him with a speechless expression, "Aren't you kidding me? With this timing, I'll probably be dead before the Holy Grail War is even over!"

"Isn't there an easier, more convenient way to make money?"

She complained desperately.

It seems that Rovey had anticipated Rin Tohsaka's response.

Upon hearing her complaint, Rovey's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded with a smile.

"Yes, yes, there are jobs like that for you, but they require a little sacrifice. Can you accept that?"

"Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka regained her usual brilliance.

"I can accept it! As long as I can make money quickly to use Magecraft, I can completely accept any small sacrifice!"

"Then it's settled."

Upon hearing Rin Tohsaka's words, Rovey raised his finger and moved it from the bottom left corner of the newspaper to a large picture frame in the center, the color scheme of which had a somewhat pinkish hue.

"What is this...?!"

--

Not long after.

A bustling, gentlemanly underground arena.

A wrestler with black twin tails, wearing a pink fighting outfit and a pink mask, seized the last moment when her opponent was off guard, grabbed her waist, and then executed a very beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.

She immediately threw the wrestler opposite her, who was more than a head taller than her, to the ground, knocking him unconscious.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire arena was completely ignited.

"Wow! That was a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw!!"

"Congratulations to our new champion, the Devil Muscle Rin!!"

After a brief moment of shock, the host excitedly raised the arm of the wrestler named Devil Muscle Rin. Meanwhile, Rovey, who was watching the spectacle from the audience, gave her a thumbs-up and smiled.

Honestly, he didn't take this Holy Grail War seriously at all.

If I weren't currently unable to contact Aozaki Touko, and worried that dismantling her Holy Grail ritual would upset her, I could announce the end of this now.

But as he said...

As long as he remained here, there would be no unexpected events in this Holy Grail War, and he believed that he would definitely be able to wait for Aozaki Touko here.

Since he had already used Command Seal to convey to the people in Chaldea, who were still in another world, that he was alright and just needed some time to return, he naturally didn't mind finding some amusement during that time. And the current scene was naturally full of all sorts of fun.

At this very moment, Rin Tohsaka, who had been successfully tricked by Rovey and codenamed "Devil Muscle Rin," was standing on the ring. Instead of feeling joy after defeating her opponent, she looked completely bewildered.

At that moment, her mind was filled with thoughts.

Who I am?

Where am I?

What am I doing?

She felt she had been deceived, but she had no evidence.

Until she was just about to step down from the stage to teach Rovey a lesson, or rather, to drag him up and wrestle with him.

Banknotes were continuously thrown up from below the stage.

That was a tip from the audience for her performance in this match.

Upon seeing these banknotes, Rin Tohsaka's initial rage seemed to subside.

She suddenly realized that this job didn't seem so bad.

At least it's quick to make money.

Thus, her idea of dealing with Rovey was naturally put on hold for the time being, and she began to focus on reaping the rewards that belonged to her on stage.

However, what she didn't know was...

Those tips just now were actually put up by Rovey.

Chapter 360 The Chaotic Situation

From any perspective, humans are actually the most violent race on this planet.

Other wild animals also kill, but they do so in order to hunt and obtain the food they need to survive. Humans are different.

Throughout history, the reasons for human battles have never been solely for hunting and survival, but more often for satisfying personal desires or seeking certain pleasures.

Going back further, it can even be traced back to the history of the Colosseum in Rome.

The essence of today's boxing rings, wrestling arenas, and rings is the same; they've simply adopted a safer and more appropriate method and atmosphere.

So...

"Hey! This isn't what we agreed on! You actually brought me to a place like this!"

Having just finished the game of beating up kids, Rin Tohsaka found Rovey waiting for her near the locker room as soon as she stepped off the stage, and asked him in an extremely displeased tone.

"And what's with that ridiculously stupid nickname, 'Devil Muscle Rin'?!"

Rin Tohsaka grabbed Rovey by the collar and questioned him loudly.

"That's just a code name. After all, you're competing masked, you can't just reveal yourself, can you? And how is this different from what I said? Isn't this a quick way to make money?"

Rovey shook his head, then innocently replied, "Tell me, isn't it a quick way to make money? Women's combat sports are completely legitimate competitions. Even if someone were to try and lay a hand on you, you wouldn't be unable to beat them. This job seems perfect for you no matter how you look at it, right?"

"Look, this way you can not only improve your physical fitness, but also gain practical experience. Although they are just ordinary people, each of them has a wrestling background. If you fight here for a while, you will not only get money, but also accumulate practical experience. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Rovey spoke again, asking a question in return.

"What you said makes some sense, but..."

Upon hearing this, Rin Tohsaka blinked.

For a moment, she actually felt that what Rovey said made some sense, but for some reason, she always felt that something was wrong, and she felt that Rovey seemed to be fooling her again.

Seeing her waver, Rovey Wei continued to argue, offering words of comfort to Rin Tohsaka.

"No buts. Aren't you just afraid of being exposed? That's why I designed your character as a mysterious wrestler, the Devil Muscle Rin. I believe no one would imagine that the Devil Muscle Rin, who is so wild and domineering on the wrestling ring, is actually the young lady of the Tohsaka Family."

"..."

Hearing Rovey's words, Rin Tohsaka couldn't find a reason to refute him for a moment. However, recalling the heated atmosphere and battle outside, the corners of her mouth still twitched uncontrollably, and she helplessly complained:

"No matter what you say, it's really going too far to make a weak woman like me wrestle!"

"A weak woman? That's really quite delicate..."

Hearing Rin Tohsaka's sarcastic remark, Rovey's expression became somewhat subtle, and he spoke up to remind her:

"Don't forget that you just knocked out a heavyweight who weighs almost twice your weight. I didn't see a single sign of weakness from you then."

"--?!"
