"Saber, Archer, Lancer, Rider and Assassin have all appeared, leaving only Berserker and Caster who have not moved yet. It seems that this Holy Grail War will start earlier than expected."
Emiya Kiritsugu stood in front of the huge cross in the church hall, his tone full of playfulness.
Because he found that compared with the last session where old men were everywhere, the Master in this session of Holy Grail War were generally young and naive, and they didn't seem to realize that he, the fake priest, was actually a participant, and they all came to register obediently.
"What? There are only two Servant left that haven't been summoned yet?"
Rin stood up from the chair in surprise, and at the same time, sweat soaked his back at an extremely fast speed.
Because she couldn't imagine that if she were a little later, she would be deprived of the qualification to summon Servant.
Emiya Kiritsugu, who maintained the appearance of Kotomine Kirei, turned his head and glanced at the girl with twin ponytails, and said meaningfully, "No, it's not that the two Servant haven't been summoned yet, but that there is only the last position left. Berserker was summoned long before Holy Grail War started. His Master is the Illyasviel of Einzbern family."
"Damn it! In other words, as long as someone summons Caster, Holy Grail War will start immediately?" Rin couldn't help covering his face with a painful expression.
You must know that she spent a lot of time and energy last night to finally sign a cooperation agreement with King of Heroes Gilgamesh, who was completely incompatible with her. The relationship between the two parties was still hovering near the freezing point, and they urgently needed some time to improve and adjust.
So the earlier the war starts, the worse it will be for her.
Emiya Kiritsugu nodded without thinking, "That's right! And as far as I know, someone is already preparing to do this."
"OK! I get it! If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Bye." Rin stood up and walked straight out of the church.
"Wait! Tohsaka-classmate, you... are you Magus too?"
Shirou, who hadn't slept a wink all night, stood up from his chair, his face full of unbelievable shock.
After all, Rin is not a nobody in school, but a top student who combines beauty, conduct, courtesy and academic performance. He is Goddess in the eyes of all the male students in the school.
Even he himself had fantasized about something happening with the girl in front of him.
But what he never expected was that the other party was actually Magus like him, and he seemed to be more senior and knowledgeable.
"Hmph! Isn't this natural? You must know that Tohsaka family is Administrator of Fuyuki City's Mystical Powers, and it has lasted for six generations. Even in the magic world around the world, it is an out-and-out noble. And the Holy Grail that everyone is currently fighting for was originally created by my ancestors together with Einzbern family and Matou family."
Rin reported the glorious history of his family with a proud look on his face.
In her opinion, the first generation Magus, like Shirou, who became a monk halfway, had no qualifications to compete with her. At best, they were just running tools. They would be eliminated soon and would not pose any threat at all.
"Huh?!"
Shirou was completely shocked by Rin's behavior. He couldn't believe that Goddess, who was always polite to others and used honorifics no matter who he met, could actually assume such a condescending and arrogant posture.
"Anyway, be careful, classmate Shirou. After all, Holy Grail War can really kill people! Among the Master who participated in Holy Grail War last time, only three people managed to survive until now. One of them is my sister, and the other is the priest standing in front of you."
After saying this, Rin ignored this classmate who had barely greeted him a few times in school, turned around and walked out of the church and disappeared from the sight of others.
"What?! Sakura... you are one of the Masters of the last Holy Grail War? Wasn't the last Holy Grail War ten years ago? Wasn't there only..."
Shirou was completely shocked by the news. He subconsciously turned around and looked at the girl with long purple hair sitting not far from him, who usually gave people a gentle and shy feeling.
"Senior, Holy Grail War, please take good care of me."
Sakura took the initiative to stand up, bowed with a smile, and followed her sister to leave the church.
Watching the two most popular sisters in the school, poor Shirou was completely shocked and speechless. Her eyes were empty and lifeless.
After several minutes, he asked in a hurried tone, "Father! Is what Lin just said true? Only three of the seven Master from the last Holy Grail War survived?"
"Yeah! That's right! But correct me! There were not only seven Master in the last Holy Grail War, but nine."
Speaking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly paused, stared at the young man who was supposed to be his adopted son, pursed his lips and read out his own lines in "Script".
"Be happy! Boy! No matter what ambitions and wishes you have, Holy Grail can help you realize it. It is a power that transcends all magic and is called magic and miracle. Only those who are worthy of it are qualified to win the final victory of Holy Grail War. Of course, if you are afraid of failure and death, you can also use up all Command Spells to make yourself lose Master's identity, or forcing Servant to commit suicide. In this way, the other Master will give up their hostility to you. In short, before the last Servant is summoned, according to regulations, neither Servant nor Master is allowed to start a war without authorization, so you still have time to think about regrouping."
"I understand! I will consider it seriously. Thank you, Father." Shirou clenched his fists nervously.
Just when he got up and was about to ride his bicycle home, he suddenly noticed a hooded man walking in from outside.
The moment the two people passed each other, the other party suddenly whispered in his ear, "Young man, do you want to be a partner of justice?"
Instantly!
Red A, who had been in a spiritual state, instantly materialized and swung a knife at an incredible speed.
clang!
His sword was blocked by Saber who appeared out of thin air.
Immediately afterwards, two Servant started a fierce battle at the door of the church at a speed that was almost indistinguishable to the naked eye.
Although neither party had any intention of releasing Noble Phantasm, its excitement allowed Shirou to see for the first time how terrifying Heroic Spirit's power was.
Regardless of speed, strength, or reaction, they are definitely beyond the reach of humans.
"Haha, I didn't expect that the Heroic Spirit you summoned was so sensitive." Allen said with a strong sense of ridicule in his tone.
He had no idea that his probing as a joke would trigger Red A to go berserk.
"You are..."
Shirou was obviously in shock, and there was even a hint of trembling in his voice. He couldn't understand why his Servant would attack without warning.
"I am Master, the Holy Grail War Saber of this year. Nice to meet you." Allen stretched out his right hand in a harmless posture.
"Ah! Hello! I'm so sorry just now! I don't know what happened to him." Shirou quickly bowed and apologized.
But Allen waved his hand indifferently. "No, you don't need to apologize. This is not your fault. I just want to remind you that the Servant you summoned is probably not simple. If I were you, I would find out his origin and the motivation for participating in the corresponding summons as soon as possible. You must know that in the past few Holy Grail War, there were many extreme cases of conflicts between Servant and Master, which eventually led to death."
"Wha... what?!"
Shirou was obviously frightened by these words and quickly turned his attention to Red A who was fighting Saber.
At this moment, the two of them were already fighting, and the Hanabi erupted from the collision of their weapons scattered in all directions, looking extremely exciting and gorgeous.
Especially the weapons projected by Red A, dozens of them have been damaged by the legendary holy sword, and they were almost hit several times.
Compared with Allen's bottomless magic supply, Shirou is obviously only half-toned, not even as good as Rin in the original plot.
Therefore, Red A's current basic attributes, as well as the quantity and power of Noble Phantasm, are far from comparable to Artoria.
"Come on, young man who wants to be a partner of justice. I'm looking forward to your performance!"
Allen smiled and waved, then shouted at Saber, "Let's go, Saber, there is no need to waste time with such a guy."
"Understood!"
Artoria responded without looking back, then swung a sword to force the opponent back, then turned into a spirit and disappeared on the spot.
In contrast, Red A looked a little embarrassed, with shock, confusion and confusion on his face.
Because in his memory, this Holy Grail War does not have Allen, a person who exudes mystery and danger.
And how could Saber's attributes be so high? It almost gave him a comprehensive crushing advantage.
If Noble Phantasm is released, he even thinks he can kill himself in an instant.
"Assassin! Are you okay?" Shirou asked cautiously.
"I'm fine! Thank you for your concern." Red A replied angrily.
His mood at the moment was just like that of all grown-up people who look back at their second-year-old self and feel stupid and bored.
But the only thing that made him feel lucky was that he did not become an orphan in this time, but had a perfect family and a lovely sister.
This also means that in the future, the other party will not embark on the road of no return by signing a contract with the restraint force and becoming Guardians like myself.
It is precisely because of this that when Red A heard Allen's words that you also want to be a partner of justice, he would immediately choose to go berserk.
He would never allow anyone to break the perfect life of the young man named Shirou in front of him, and hoped that he could get married, have children, and live an ordinary and long life like an ordinary person.
"Um... Assassin. Why did you take the initiative to attack that person just now?" Shirou summoned the courage to ask.
You must know that since completing the summons last night, he has been receiving blows from the opponent. If he had not clung to the final bottom line, he would probably have lost his dominance.
"Nothing, I just want to test it out. Remember, in Holy Grail War, being the first to figure out the origin and ability of the opponent Servant is a crucial step." Red A casually found an excuse for his rampage.
"But... but you can't attack others casually! You almost killed someone just now, do you understand?"
It must be said that although Shirou has not experienced that terrible disaster, he already has a very strong sense of justice in his heart.
If someone else initiates an attack, he will naturally defend himself unceremoniously.
But taking the initiative to attack, especially killing people, cannot overcome the hurdle in your heart.
"Hmph! Naive! But it doesn't matter, as long as you are happy." Red A sneered and mocked, but in the end he chose to agree.
As the saying goes, only you know yourself best.
He knew very well that if he didn't agree, this boy in his second year of middle school would definitely use Command Spells to forcibly restrain him.
At the same time, on the other side, Allen had already walked into the hall with Saber, and said directly to Emiya Kiritsugu: "Your daughter Illyasviel boarded the plane half an hour ago and is expected to land in about eleven hours. What do you think, are you very excited to hear this news?"
"Oh? Is Illya finally coming?" Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes instantly lit up, and his originally steady hands began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.
"Kiritsugu! So everything you did was to get your daughter back?"
Saber appeared again, staring at the man who had lived as Kotomine Kirei for ten years with very complicated eyes.
Emiya Kiritsugu smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes! It's all for this day. Because I want to deceive Einzbern family, Holy Church, and everyone in the entire magic world. But it's all worth it! Our family of three will be reunited soon. From now on, no one can try to separate us."
"Don't be happy so early. Don't forget, there is still a drama to be played between us. Especially Illya, you must not let her know your identity before the time is right. Otherwise, God knows what crazy decisions those Homunculuss from Einzbern family will make." Allen warned meaningfully.
"Don't worry! I understand this! Only when Third Magic reappears, will Einzbern family give up their unrealistic fantasies. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that I have captured Command Spells from Bazett. When do you think we should start the opening match?"
With that said, Emiya Kiritsugu took off his gloves to reveal Command Spells on the back of his right hand.
"As long as the last Servant Caster arrives, let Holy Grail War begin. If I guessed correctly, Sakura can't wait to show me the results of her hard work over the years." Allen answered with a smile.
"That's right! As far as I know, Fuyuki City recently came to Atram Gary Asta who is good at using modern technology to recreate the magic of sacrifice. Although he is different from the perverted murderer Uryuu Ryunosuke from the previous session, he is also He is using the purchased children to convert magic crystals. And this guy also has the legendary Holy Relics Golden Fleece. I believe it won't be long before he becomes the last Master."
Emiya Kiritsugu took the initiative to share the information he obtained.
As a priest of the church, it is impossible for any Magus who comes to Fuyuki City to skip his eyes.
Especially this kind of idiot who obviously wants to participate in Holy Grail War...
