"Grand Marshal, Lord Traberio, welcome. What brings you here?"

Lorelei and Lord Traberio, a monarch of the foundational division and also of the three great noble families, were sitting in Waver's office. Traberio, seeing Waver open the door, stopped his conversation with Lorelei and curiously peered past Waver to examine Rin behind him.

"Oh, is this Rin Tohsaka?"

Lorelei put down the teacup she was holding and spoke to Waver and Rin.

"Come in, both of you."

Waver first stepped aside to let Rin enter, then flipped the door sign to display a magic barrier before slowly closing the door.

Rin curiously observed the middle-aged man before her. From Waver's earlier address, she already knew his identity: Lord Traberio, monarch of the foundational division. 'Isn't this guy the leader of the democratic faction? Why is he looking for me today?'

Traberio stood up and, facing Rin's curious gaze, slowly bowed. He spoke to Rin with an apologetic tone.

"Lady Rin Tohsaka, I am truly very sorry. It was due to a mistake by our family's work that we misjudged the intelligence, leading the Department of Law and Politics to issue an arrest warrant for you. I have come specifically to apologize for this."

Rin was taken aback by Traberio's explanation. She hadn't fully understood what happened yesterday and couldn't be bothered to figure it out. After all, the Clock Tower's internal politics were too complex, with so many families, twelve monarchs, thirteen departments, three major factions, and three great noble families. It wasn't strange for any kind of dirty dealings to occur within them. However, the current situation was beyond Rin's expectations.

Unlike Rin, Waver, who had been at the Clock Tower for over nine years, was not surprised by Traberio's visit at all. After Rin's battle with Lorelei, she knew that such an outcome was inevitable. While Lorelei had been cultivated with various resources and a thousand years of tradition, Rin, a genius from the Far East Magecraft Desert, had managed to fight Lorelei to a standstill, surprising many.

Although the magecraft world had been constantly hyping Rin's genius and talent, families at the apex of the magecraft world mostly scoffed at such rumors. It wasn't until Rin's battle with Lorelei that these families had to take Rin seriously. Rin had now demonstrated potential that matched the rumors, and perhaps upon her growth, she would become another new peak in the magecraft world. Moreover, for various families, Rin's value far surpassed Lorelei's.

It was precisely because of this that Traberio sought out Rin the very next day, hoping for her understanding. After all, unlike Lorelei, Rin, who came from the 'countryside' and was a woman, would be a great asset to any family if they could secure her. Even a sliver of hope was something no magecraft family would let pass. Unbeknownst to her, Rin had truly become a coveted prize in the eyes of the entire magecraft world and its families.

Completely unaware of the situation, Rin was stunned. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't understand why Traberio was apologizing to her. So, with the mindset of offending fewer monarchs, she spoke.

"Well, I don't understand why you're apologizing, but I forgive you."

Waver helplessly rubbed his forehead. 'Why is someone so shrewd most of the time so unreliable at critical moments?'

Lorelei, seeing Rin 'forgive' Traberio, took out a document and handed it to Rin.

"Congratulations, Rin. You are now a Color rank Magus. Your color is 'Red.' This is the association's assessment document."

Traberio suddenly interjected.

"What's going on with those people at the association? They didn't even give Rin a Grand Magus title. That's outrageous. Don't worry, Rin, I'll definitely seek justice for you from the association."

Hearing Traberio's words, Rin hastily waved her hands. Although Rin had only met two Grand Magus in her life so far, she knew clearly that she couldn't defeat even Lorelei, let alone Touko, if they were to truly fight. Escaping would be a luxury. Furthermore, the cheating facilities she used were destroyed in her battle with Lorelei yesterday and could not be rebuilt anytime soon. Other trump cards also couldn't be easily used. If they were to give her a Grand Magus title, it was possible that some Grand Magus might take a dislike to her, and she might get beaten to death.

"No, no, thank you for your kindness. I'm very satisfied with obtaining a Color rank."

Lorelei, watching Traberio put on a show of fighting for Rin, walked over to Traberio's side.

"Alright, old fox, drop the act. It's too unsightly."

Traberio, unfazed by Lorelei's comment, took out a box from his bosom and placed it on the table, then turned to leave.

"Lorelei, you're still young, you don't understand these things. Rin, this is a gift of apology from us, the Traberio family. Please excuse me. If you need help in the future, you can come find me. The Traberio family welcomes you."

After Traberio left Waver's office, Lorelei picked up the box on the table and threw it into Rin's arms.

"Take it, Rin. This is what you deserve."

Rin nodded and put away the box, then asked Lorelei.

"Lorelei, what did you need me for today? You're not just here to deliver my rating document, are you?"

"Of course not. Rin, I am extending an invitation to you. Are you interested in joining me to annihilate the Child of Phul?"

"Child of Phul? Where? When?"

"Traberio provided me with the information. We will encounter the Child of Phul during this Mystic Eye Collection Train journey. What do you say, are you interested?"

'The Mystic Eye Collection Train? I wasn't planning to get involved, but it seems I have to go. It's a good opportunity to arrange my meeting with Marisbury Animusphere on that train. Perhaps I'll even see the young 'Director'.' With this thought, Rin nodded to Lorelei.

"Lorelei, no problem. I accept your invitation, but please handle the invitation letter for me…"

After concluding her meeting with Lorelei, Rin followed Waver out of the Clock Tower and went to a small shop on the outskirts, where ordinary people frequented, to have lunch.

"Waver, could you do me a favor? Please notify Marisbury Animusphere for me. I want to meet him on this Mystic Eye Collection Train."

"Alright, Rin. I'll arrange for someone to notify him this afternoon. By the way, Rin, why are you so concerned about Gry? Your behavior doesn't seem to be just because of Gry's appearance."

"That's because… Waver, can you lend Gry to me for a while? In exchange, I'll invite you to participate in this Holy Grail War as one of the Three Great Families…"

"Rin! I must refuse."

The Holy Grail War, how it haunted his dreams!

Waver's mind replayed the image of that majestic figure, reminiscing about his encounters with that King, yet he resolutely rejected Rin's proposal.

Rin, having been rejected, tilted her head with a half-smile, unconsciously swirling the borscht in front of her with a spoon in one hand.

"Waver, don't you want to see that Emperor again? Have you given up on being his subject?"

"I…"

"Waver, Gry is a product of the Morgan le Fay clan, right? Don't worry, I have no interest in resurrecting King Arthur. I just plan to borrow Gry to participate in the Holy Grail War. With her identity, she can provide me with an ace without a catalyst!"

Waver stared intently at Rin, scrutinizing her for a long time.

"Rin, you're lying. You have another purpose!"

"Oh my, you saw through me? That's right, I do have another purpose, but it's a secret! Don't worry, I absolutely won't hurt Gry, not one bit."

"Rin, you have to promise not to hurt Gry!"

"Of course, I promise. Then I'm looking forward to our cooperation in the Holy Grail War!"

After speaking, Rin extended her hand. Waver blinked in surprise, then also extended his hand, grasping Rin's tightly.

After lunch, Rin declined the invitation to lecture in the modern magecraft classroom and instead wandered alone through the ancient streets of the Clock Tower's academic district.

Taking in the elegant surroundings, Rin casually sat on a street bench, tilting her head back to gaze at the overcast sky.

"Is it going to rain? Hmm, I still need to buy a Star Gazing Pie for Da Vinci later. Ugh, what a hassle."

"Do you want this?"

Rin heard the voice and suddenly froze, turning her head towards the source of the sound.

"Oh, did I disturb you? Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Sajyo Ayaka. I'm a student in all the foundational courses. It's a pleasure to meet you, Rin~"

After speaking, Ayaka placed the Star Gazing Pie in her hand onto the chair and then, with a cheerful skip, disappeared from Rin's sight.

"Am I dreaming?"

Rin pinched her thigh hard. Feeling the pain, Rin looked at the Star Gazing Pie on the stool, her hand trembling slightly as she picked it up.

"Sajyo Ayaka? Why would the Root Princess appear? Damn it, has the Root targeted me after all?"

Feeling uneasy and anxious, Rin casually tossed the Star Gazing Pie into a nearby trash can and hurried away from the Clock Tower in a panic.

Not long after Rin left, Sajyo Ayaka emerged from behind a nearby tree. With a gloomy expression, she walked to the trash can and retrieved the Star Gazing Pie that Rin had thrown away.

"Rin~chan, you're being naughty. I spent all night making this! I must teach you a lesson. But, you do recognize me, don't you? I really want to eat you, Rin! La~la~la~la~"

Ayaka's expression contorted as she forcefully smashed the Star Gazing Pie onto the ground. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she flashed a brilliant smile, humming a little tune as she disappeared from the street.

Rin, flustered, walked out of the Clock Tower's academic district and into the commercial street outside. Suddenly, a raindrop hit her face. Rin stopped, looked up at the sky where it had begun to rain, and casually found a shop by the roadside, entering it to take shelter.

"Rin, what are you doing here?"

Standing at the entrance of the shop, looking at the rain outside, Rin turned her head and saw Luvia staring at her with a curious expression.

Rin turned around, first glancing at the environment inside the shop, then asked Luvia.

"Luvia, is this your family's mall? I just came in to get out of the rain."

Seeing that Rin easily recognized her family's mall, Luvia covered her mouth and smiled with a touch of pride. Luvia, who had been patrolling her new mall upstairs, suddenly noticed someone who had been ignoring the magical effects within her mall and staying by the entrance. Initially thinking it was just some Clock Tower student, Luvia paid it no mind. However, as she got closer, the figure became more and more familiar.

"Rin, you still remember our family's style? That's so touching."

Rin pursed her lips. 'This nouveau riche style, besides your family, I can't think of anyone else in the magecraft world who would use it.'

"Rin, would you like to tour my mall?"

Rin looked at Luvia and shook her head.

"No, Luvia. I'm not very interested in shopping. I'll leave once the rain stops."

Luvia looked at the rain outside, then extended an invitation to Rin.

"Rin, the rain outside doesn't look like it'll stop anytime soon. Why don't you come to my office for some afternoon tea?"

"Alright, thank you for the trouble, Luvia."

Rin followed Luvia to the office on the top floor of the mall.

After Luvia elegantly presented the refreshments and poured the black tea, the two began to chat idly in Luvia's office.

"Rin, you probably don't know this, but a few days ago, our mall's defense system had a problem!"

"Yes, I know."

"Oh, right, you're staying at Lainas's place. She must have told you."

Rin certainly wouldn't tell Luvia that she found out from The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II. She casually nodded in agreement, then asked Luvia.

"Luvia, do you know Sajyo Ayaka?"

"Sajyo Ayaka?"

Luvia thought for a moment, then replied.

"Yes!"

"Luvia, can you tell me about her?"

"Rin, why are you asking about her?"

Luvia asked Rin curiously, but seeing Rin's serious expression, she slowly began to share the information she knew about Sajyo Ayaka.

"As far as I know, Sajyo Ayaka is quite well-known at the Clock Tower. At 14, many professors already call her a genius. However, due to her eccentric personality, she seems to have no friends and often appears and disappears mysteriously. I don't know what she's specifically doing. Oh, and it seems she's from the Far East, just like you."

"Is that all?"

"Yes. Although she's somewhat famous at the Clock Tower, there are too many star students. Compared to them, she's just a nobody, so naturally, no one pays much attention to her. But where did you hear about her, Rin?"

Rin's expression turned a bit dejected, and she waved her hand at Luvia.

"I ran into her today, so I was a little curious and asked about her situation."

Luvia's eyes lit up. Seeing Rin's dejected expression, she seemed to have an idea.

"Rin, you look a little off! I don't know why you want information about her, but I can help you investigate. In return, just spar with me in some combat, how about it?"

Rin actually understood that the Root Princess, Sajyo Ayaka, wouldn't let these 'mortals' get any information from her. However, holding onto a sliver of hope, Rin still nodded and agreed to Luvia.

Seeing Rin agree, Luvia quickly took out a fan to cover her face, preventing Rin from seeing her excited expression. 'Rin, although my Magecraft isn't as good as yours, my wrestling skills won't lose to your Baji Quan. Is sweet 'revenge' coming!'

In the shopping mall, within the wrestling area Luvia usually practiced, Rin and Luvia, having changed their clothes, faced each other, waiting for the other to reveal a weakness.

Numerous customers in the mall looked up curiously towards the top floor, from where sounds were continuously emanating.

"Is it under renovation?"

The wrestling room on the top floor.

A distracted Rin and an excited Luvia began a fierce bout.

Rin used her agile footwork to continuously evade Luvia's grappling attempts.

"Rin, are you just going to dodge?"
