Type-Moon, I, Sakura Matou, Rewrite Destiny

It was as if the storm was about to break... In short, the active mage world on the surface of this world had been thrown into complete turmoil.

Fuyuki City, in particular, had previously been a place where various families fought their own battles, engaging in covert struggles.

But now, after Sakura showed her strength and nearly scared the high-ranking officials of the Clock Tower silly, Fuyuki City, which was identified as the front line of an impending East-West confrontation, had suddenly become quiet.

However, to these association higher-ups, lost in their overactive imaginations, this peace was merely temporary... In their eyes, it was likely to be followed by a raging storm.

Yet... just three days after the Clock Tower's higher-ups made their incorrect judgment and conjured up an absurd conclusion.

After his battle with Luó Háo, for some unknown reason, Zelretch, who had left when Luó Háo stopped fighting, returned.

The Albion Necropolis is located 40-60 kilometers below the surface, in a layer named the Ancient Heart Layer.

Because a Dragon Heart was excavated there, it is generally used as a special sacrificial site. This layer, which also possesses the strongest mystical barrier on the surface, is also... the venue for the Grand Council Resolution.

And at this moment, a Grand Council Resolution was being convened there.

"You're saying the Spiral Hall and the Mountain Court intend to expand beyond that continent?"

"That's right, Marshal. Based on our analysis and judgment, the Mage's Association is about to face a true challenge. We need your strength..."

Standing in the center of the magic circle where the Grand Council Resolution was being convened, Zelretch, like an old child, scratched his head. After listening to the speech of the representative of the Barreleta Family, he burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha, how did you come up with such an absurd conclusion? Don't tell me it's because of that girl Tohsaka Sakura and the incredibly powerful woman under her."

"Precisely, Lord Zelretch."

"Pfft, are you making fun of this old man? That girl Tohsaka Sakura is a descendant of my disciple Zelretch. How could those people in the East possibly let her join? And that incredibly powerful woman, the power she used, although I can't be sure of its exact composition, it is indeed the power of a genuine deity. It's not the system of the Mountain Court at all. If I had to say it's related to them, it would probably only be Qi. However, they have also released many cultivation methods for Qi. What's strange about Tohsaka Sakura and that woman!"

"Wait... Lord Zelretch, is the Tohsaka Sakura you mentioned Miss Sakura Matou?"

"Oh, she was adopted into the Matou family in this timeline? That unfortunate child, it seems she's always being adopted out by that idiot Tokiomi."

Stroking his chin, Zelretch, who for some reason had a special affinity and fondness for the Tohsaka family's descendants of Rin and Sakura's generation, suddenly showed a hint of regret on his face.

I wonder how this world's Tohsaka Rin compares to her sister, Tohsaka... Sakura Matou.

The Lords present exchanged glances.

A strange atmosphere immediately spread among them. If everything was as Zelretch said... then they seemed to have done something incredibly foolish these past few days.

However... if Sakura truly wasn't from the Spiral Hall or the Mountain Court, then this would definitely be good news for the Clock Tower. If she wasn't from the Spiral Hall or the Mountain Court, it meant that Sakura and Luó Háo were wild powerhouses who could be persuaded to join the Mage's Association.

As these Lords began to communicate with each other through glances and subtle gestures, Marisbury and Kischur, who had remained silent throughout the meeting and hadn't acted with the other Lords, now smiled, a particularly brilliant smile.

"Ahem, everyone... Since Marshal has helped confirm Miss Sakura Matou's background, I will take this opportunity to present her request for a duel on behalf of Miss Sakura Matou."

Saying this, Kischur turned to the representative of Bartholomello.

"Lord El-Melloi, speak frankly. The head of the family has granted me full authority."

"Miss Sakura Matou's request is... she wishes for my disciple, Mr. Waver Velvet, to become the director of the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau and accept her command. Furthermore, the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau must be relocated to a deserted island in the North Sea..."

Glances filled with jealousy were cast at Kischur. Compared to them, El-Melloi had already taken the lead, and they knew this, but they hadn't expected... the benefits to be so great. The Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau... what a huge appetite.

The Lords present did not believe that Sakura and her Matou family desired the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau. After all, the sealed magical treasures should theoretically be worthless to Sakura, who primarily cultivated Qi. Therefore, such a move was undoubtedly seen by the Lords as Kischur's attempt to seize the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau. The Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau represented... over thirty elite combat mages of the highest caliber. Undoubtedly, none of the Lords present were willing to hand over this power to Kischur.

Seeing the Lords fall into silence, Kischur tapped his still-unhealed legs, coughed, and spoke.

"This is Miss Sakura Matou's request... If you refuse, this lady will not only create a brand new 'prison' like Azkaban. It is said she previously considered establishing a magic academy in Scotland called Hogwarts..."

Facing Kischur's renewed speech, the Lords cast malicious glances at him without any pretense. As waves of magic emanated from each Lord, pressing down on the "helpless" Kischur. Just as Kischur began to sweat profusely under the targeted pressure from the Lords, Zelretch, who had been watching their performance, suddenly made a decisive statement.

"Alright, alright. It's just a Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau. If Sakura wants it, give it to her. You don't need to worry too much about Sakura disrupting your balance of power. If that girl acts recklessly, I, an old man, have some ability to handle her."

With Zelretch saying so, what else could be done? Unless the mysterious Dean of the Clock Tower, who was even more elusive than Zelretch, appeared to veto it, who could refute Zelretch's "reasonable" request?

"Then it's settled. According to Miss Sakura Matou's wishes, the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau will be handed over to Kischur's disciple for management and placed under Miss Sakura Matou's command... As for your losses, we, Bartholomello, will compensate you later... However... Kischur, the matter of Miss Sakura Matou joining the Mage's Association will be handled by you... The meeting is adjourned. Oh, and everyone, don't forget to recall the intelligence personnel sent to the East immediately after the meeting. We need to quell this foolish misjudgment as quickly as possible..."

Azakaban and Dementors...

Inside El-Melloi Castle.

Upon receiving the letter of appointment from Kischur Zelretch, Waver, who was blank and incredulous, still couldn't believe it even though he had accepted the appointment.

"Teacher... I'm going to be the director of the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau just like this?"

"Naturally. The letter of appointment is in your hand, do you still doubt it?"

"No... I..."

Clutching a corner of the appointment letter in his hand, Waver, who had been stammering for a long time, couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Excitement, worry, lack of confidence...

Perhaps all of it.

More than anything, it felt unreal.

After all, he hadn't done anything, yet he had directly become the leader of a powerful department within the Mage's Association... Was there really such a thing as a free lunch in this world?

With such uneasy and confused emotions, Waver, appointed as the director of the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau, began his tenure.

On the surging sea, riding a lone boat.

Holding the appointment letter and accompanied by his teacher's adopted sister, Waver, who was on his way to his new post, had been seasick the entire journey.

On a temporarily constructed boat powered by magic.

Kyoko, a homunculus maid born into the Einzbern family, steered the boat forward with one hand, while expressionlessly turning her head to look at Waver, who had been lying at the stern since boarding, constantly making vomiting sounds.

Linel, who was also on the boat and felt utterly embarrassed by her brother's new disciple's disgraceful behavior, wished she could kick Waver into the sea.

But... Linel couldn't do that.

If she wanted to fulfill her brother Kischur Zelretch's arrangement and train for a few years in the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau under Sakura Matou's rule, she would have to rely on Waver, the nominal director...

This voyage went very smoothly. Apart from Waver almost dying, the homunculus maid Kyoko had perfectly fulfilled her duties.

After docking the small boat at the nearest newly excavated small pier.

Kyoko, holding a lantern that glowed with magical energy, was the first to jump off the boat. Then, she began to repeatedly turn her lantern on and off with a peculiar rhythm towards the rocky, rugged coast.

Linel, who was supporting the utterly exhausted Waver and was not even as tall as his chest, did not rush to leave the small boat. Upon seeing Kyoko's actions, she knew very well that this newly established island for the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau was not simple.

As expected, after Kyoko sent out a complex sequence of light signals that took her a full minute to complete.

On the rugged, rocky coast, a path that had not existed before directly appeared before them.

"Please follow me."

Linel hurriedly supported the weak-kneed Waver and followed. The six-year-old Linel had to activate a powerful magecraft to support Waver, who was an unbearable weight for her.

Stepping onto the path and climbing the rocky coast.

After passing through the path and reaching the coast, a massive fortress built from the island's characteristic black stones immediately appeared before Linel and Waver.

However, the fortress was clearly not yet completed. Around the fortress, many maids, who looked very similar to Kyoko in appearance and attire, were constantly moving about, transporting stones that had been mined from who knows where.

Linel didn't care about the unfinished and crude-looking fortress, which was clearly not suitable for human habitation. Although she was a young lady, she knew her mission and the purpose of her visit, so she was not afraid of hardship or an unpleasant environment.

It's just that... for some reason, after landing on the island, Linel felt her mood become gloomy, as if she were deeply oppressed.

Just as Waver finally recovered enough to walk on his own and no longer needed Linel's support, Linel, following Kyoko's steps, gradually approached the fortress and saw the 'nightmare'.

Horror? Disbelief? Full of questions?

Linel didn't know what kind of expression she had at the moment, but this bizarre monster that suddenly darted out from nearby instinctively evoked the most primal fear and disgust in her.

"What is that?"

Pointing at the monster that suddenly appeared on the road ahead, wearing a cloak, its entire body looking as if it had rotted in water, with scabbed hands, like a decaying ghost, Linel, chilled to the bone, asked Kyoko.

"A Dementor, the jailer of this island."

"Dementor!" X2

Linel and Waver exchanged glances. Without a doubt, they had never heard of a monster with such a name.

But one thing they were sure of was that... a Dementor was definitely not a good thing.

If the initial stage of landing on the island had only made them feel oppressed and their moods low, then after seeing the Dementor, despair began to surface in the hearts of Linel and Waver.

"You can ask the Master about the specifics when you meet her. I am just a maid... I don't have information about the Dementors created by the Master. Please rest assured, it's just a routine inspection now, and it won't attack us."

As Kyoko had said, after circling the three of them several times, it seemed to confirm some information. The Dementor that had suddenly appeared from nowhere then floated towards a strange rock nearby and disappeared before the three of them.

As the Dementor left, Linel and Waver felt much better.

But at the same time, a hint of despair appeared on their faces... After all, if the Dementor was the jailer of this island, they would likely have to deal with such monsters in the future.

This was also the case for other enforcers belonging to the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau.

With the Grand Council Resolution concluded, Sakura Matou, at Kischur Zelretch's invitation, agreed to join the Mage's Association and officially lead the Matou Family into the Association...

The appointment letters from the Grand Council Resolution naturally reached everyone in the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau.

They had thought it would be at most a change of location to continue their work...

But who knew that the island Sakura had named Azkaban would be such a terrifying place...

At this moment, the old Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau personnel, who were disembarking onto Azkaban from various points around the island, all wore expressions of despair, much like Waver and Lineas.

However, their despair was nothing compared to the sealing designation targets imprisoned within the Sealing Designation Enforcement Bureau, those deemed unqualified to be sent to the underground observatory of the Necropolis.

It could be said that from the very first day they arrived at Azkaban, they regretted not having been preserved in formaldehyde jars when they were imprisoned...

96. The Downfall of Tohsaka and El-Melloi.

Time always passes by so quickly, without one even noticing... It has been a full half-year since Sakura arrived at the Clock Tower.

During this past half-year, the turmoil caused by Sakura's arrival at the Clock Tower has been completely quelled.

The chaos in Fuyuki City has also gradually subsided as Sakura established herself at the Clock Tower.

However, the peace in Fuyuki City was merely superficial; neither the Association nor the great families had abandoned their investigations into Fuyuki City's Holy Grail.

Due to their awkward predicament of being unable to return home.

The Tohsaka family, who had left Fuyuki City over half a year ago, and had been hiding with the Edelfelt family for the past six months, recently contacted Zelretch. With his guarantee, they finally arrived at the Clock Tower.

And not long after the Tohsaka family arrived at the Clock Tower, Kischur, who had been recovering from his injuries for over half a year, finally healed.

However... Kischur's injuries this time were far too severe. After his recovery, his Mage Circuits inevitably suffered some degradation.

Fortunately, Kischur's skill level remained as it was. Even with some degradation in his Mage Circuits, he could still support El-Melloi's continued endeavors.
