Wei Gong smacked her on the head, instantly bringing tears to her eyes as she glared furiously at him.

"Your allowance for this month is already gone, and you still want me to transfer you money? If you dare spend money on gacha again, I'll break your legs!"

Wei Gong smiled gently, but his words were completely at odds with his expression.

"Hmph, you cheapskate!"

Luo Ya pouted as she watched the news. "King Arthur and Mordred are probably here to find Nameless. I wonder if I'll get a chance to cling to their coattails."

"If the King of Heroes comes too, then I'll definitely have to rush over and cling to his coattails!"

They were all her favorite Heroic Spirits.

Especially the King of Heroes. She dreamed of meeting him.

Every time, she dreamed of a huge pile of glittering gold coins and sleeping on top of them!

"Forget it. You're just an ordinary person. If they really send student representatives, they'll probably choose magical geniuses."

Wei Gong did not hold back in discouraging her.

Still, he was a little suspicious.

The dean of Academy City was that fox who loved stirring up trouble. He wondered whether she would get involved in this matter.

If that woman was like Merlin and wanted to watch King Arthur and Mordred display their father-daughter affection, things would get out of hand!

In any case, it had nothing to do with him.

If the sky fell, someone taller would hold it up. Right now, he was just an ordinary Sakura High School student.

All he needed to do was calmly watch the show.

At present, Wei Gong was more worried about what Golden Flash wanted to do.

That guy had Clairvoyance. He wondered whether he could discover him...

Fuyuki Magic Academy.

In Administrative District One, the academy's many high-ranking officials had all gathered together.

Standing before them was Abe no Seimei, dressed in a classical white onmyoji robe and wearing a black top hat.

He pointed at the news and said, "The order has already been issued from above. Our Fuyuki Academy will be responsible for receiving them."

Fuyuki Magic Academy could be called the Dragon Kingdom's largest magical experimental zone, dedicated to experimenting with the popularization of magical education.

Once the experiment was complete, it would be promoted throughout the Dragon Kingdom and become part of the twelve years of basic education.

In short—

A magical guinea pig experimental base.

However, many people called them guinea pigs while sourly claiming that grapes were sour simply because they could not eat them.

If they really got the chance, they would definitely come at any cost!

The magical geniuses of the entire Sakura Islands had gathered here.

The academy was jointly managed by the genius onmyoji Abe no Seimei and the Nine-tailed Fox Tamamo no Mae, who was so powerful that the First Emperor had needed to personally suppress her.

Before them,

a woman dressed in a blue-and-gold kimono stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Three enormous, fluffy golden fox tails swayed gently behind her, enough to instantly conquer countless fluff enthusiasts.

Her astonishing figure and curves were even more breathtaking.

Her enchanting face seemed to bask in the affection of the entire world. At this moment, it wore a faint smile. "How strange. That person actually decided to leave the house?"

Everyone else, including Abe no Seimei, avoided meeting her golden eyes.

There was no helping it.

This Nine-tailed Fox possessed terrifying charm, enough to enchant all living beings.

Even Heroic Spirits found it difficult to resist!

And this was merely her incomplete three-tailed form.

If all nine tails truly gathered—

Just imagining it was terrifying enough to make one suffocate!

Abe no Seimei emphasized again, "The chancellor instructed us that the king has come to find Nameless. We must receive her carefully and avoid causing panic, or His Majesty will be enraged!"

This Nine-tailed Fox loved stirring up trouble.

To make her behave, he had not hesitated to invoke the First Emperor's authority and pressure her.

"Hehe~"

Tamamo no Mae let out a light laugh.

Her voice, bewitching to the soul, made every female official blush furiously.

To reduce the influence of her charm, every academy official except Abe no Seimei was female.

And yet!

This fox's charm did not discriminate by gender. Even women could not withstand it!

The whole group had become older unmarried women, determined to marry no one but her!

Abe no Seimei hurriedly stepped in front of everyone. "As for the student representative who will receive King Arthur and her party, what do you think, Dean?"

"Oh? Who are the candidates?"

Tamamo no Mae looked at a chart listing one outstanding student after another.

The genius magus Tohsaka Rin, as well as the even more talented Ilya, among others.

Every student possessed monstrous talent and had become a candidate to receive the Heroic Spirits.

Tamamo no Mae said nonchalantly, "They're all genius magi? Pick an ordinary person."

As far as she was concerned, if not for the First Emperor's order, she could not be bothered with matters involving ordinary people.

She might as well go look for that [Nameless] and see whose charm was stronger!

How could one mere man make female Heroic Spirits, male Heroic Spirits, and even those without genders all fall for him?

Could he really possess EX-rank [Charisma]?

"An ordinary person? All right, no problem."

Abe no Seimei was slightly taken aback, but he did not refuse in the slightest.

Although it was known as a magical academy city, ninety-nine percent of its hundreds of thousands of students were ordinary people.

Abe no Seimei made the decision. "Then let the geniuses recommend someone."

Uruk.

After the video ended,

everyone fell silent, carefully watching the king, who said nothing.

The minister of finance asked nervously, sweat beading faintly on his forehead, "My king, was what we saw in the video true?"

"It was all true."

Gilgamesh gazed at everyone with a faint smile.

This time, everyone instantly broke into a cold sweat.

Earlier, they had furiously cursed Nameless, believing the video was entirely fake and deliberately meant to slander the king.

Yet the video had actually been real!

In other words, the king really was friends with Nameless!

Would the king settle accounts with them later?

Gilgamesh, however, did not care in the slightest about their reactions.

After seeing the news that King Arthur was heading to Fusang State in the Dragon Kingdom, he revealed a delighted smile. "Nameless, you bastard. It seems you finally need this king's assistance!"

Thousands of years had passed since their parting in the Age of Gods.

Gilgamesh had never imagined that Nameless was still alive!

Nameless had used himself as the strongest fuel to activate the Calamity Sword's ultimate power, severing the connection between humans and gods with a single slash and creating a future for humanity.

Brilliant yet fleeting like a meteor.

His two dear friends had died before his eyes, plunging Gilgamesh into endless grief.

However,

he was the king.

He bore the future of countless people throughout Uruk and could not display even the slightest trace of sorrow.

He could only endure all the pain and continue coordinating and managing the entire kingdom.

And now, someone was telling him that Nameless had never died at all?

Gilgamesh felt as though he had been gravely deceived.

Only now did he finally understand the words Nameless had spoken when he disappeared at the end—

[Golden Flash, because I will never stop. As long as you do not stop, you will definitely see me ahead.]

[So, don't stop...]

This was not merely an expectation that he would lead humanity toward a bright future.

It also meant that Nameless had never died at all.

As long as Gilgamesh descended into the era where Nameless lived in the form of a Heroic Spirit, they could meet again.

Gilgamesh was incredibly eager for their reunion.

A gathering after several thousand years demanded that he go through fire and water for his friend and help him resolve every crisis.

And then,

stab his friend twice!

"You really are a bastard!"

Gilgamesh smiled exceedingly happily.

When they met, he would return every word Nameless had said back then, exactly as spoken.

"You want my help? Get on your knees and beg me!"

By then,

Nameless's expression would definitely be spectacular. Just imagining it made him increasingly delighted.

The minister of finance asked cautiously, "My king, should we hold a press conference?"

Earlier, the Emperor of France Joan and King Arthur of Britain, Artoria, had both held relevant press conferences.

They had confirmed the video, established that [Nameless] truly existed, and called out to him across the air, even expressing their desire to summon him before them.

Now it was the turn of the most arrogant and overbearing King of Heroes.

Everyone stared at him eagerly, wanting to know what he planned to do.

"No need!"

Gilgamesh waved his hand casually.

It was merely a press conference. Someone he acknowledged had no need for one.
