"By the way, your abilities as a Heroic Spirit are support-oriented. Aside from strengthening other Heroic Spirits, that means your own combat ability is extremely weak, right?"
"Um, well, I... yes!"
Faced with the Director's blunt question, Su Mo parted his lips slightly before reluctantly nodding in admission. Yet before he could explain that Heroic Spirits strengthened by him—even Demi-Servants like Mash—could deal absurd damage and crush Artoria with ease, the Director cut him off.
"Sigh, I knew it would be like this. Can nothing ever go smoothly? One support Heroic Spirit and one Demi-Servant who doesn't even know the name of her Noble Phantasm—what combat power could you possibly have?" The Director shook her head with a disappointed expression.
"I'm sorry... Director. I let you down." Mash lowered her head dejectedly, looking thoroughly aggrieved.
Seeing Mash like that, Su Mo could no longer sit still. Damn it, you made my junior cry. Believe it or not, I'll pin you to the ground and fuck you right now?
Of course, he would never say that out loud. What he actually said was, "Director, don't underestimate me. Although I'm a support Heroic Spirit, if I release my Noble Phantasm and buff myself, I could flatten this entire Fuyuki City!"
"You're that powerful?" Hearing Su Mo's words and seeing the serious look on his face, the Director stared at him with shining eyes.
"Of course. It's just that my abilities have cooldowns of five and ten minutes, and releasing my Noble Phantasm also consumes a huge amount of mana, so I can't show you right now. But don't worry—in the coming battles, I definitely won't let you down!"

Some time later, the Director brought Mash and Su Mo to Fuyuki City and established a Spiritron point. Once the Spiritron point was set up, the chaotic communication signals stabilized. Before long, Roman's voice came through the communicator on Su Mo's wrist.
Just like in the original plot, so I won't pad this out.
In short, after Roman informed the Director of Chaldea's current situation, she was dealt a severe blow. Following a brief period of depression, she ordered the forty-seven severely injured and unconscious Masters to be frozen, and instructed Roman to monitor their surroundings at all times and notify them immediately if there was any danger.
"Oh, right. Send over the Saint Graph as well. Although Su Mo made his Noble Phantasm sound impressive, I still can't rest easy. In any case, let's perform a Heroic Spirit summon first." The Director bit her finger, her expression extremely grim as she added this.
Roman, on the projection screen, wore a conflicted expression. After swallowing, he said, "Because of the earlier explosion, all the prepared Saint Graphs were destroyed. There are only three Saint Graphs left, along with one Summoning Ticket..."
"No way... does that mean the ten-pull is gone?" Su Mo shouted in horror.
When he had first heard that there were still Saint Graphs, he had been thrilled, thinking he could do a ten-pull, summon a group of fighters, then give them a boost and raise their damage through the roof, continuing his opportunistic ways from World War II. But now, there was nothing left.
Hearing Su Mo's words, the Director and Mash looked at him strangely, but they did not take it to heart. They assumed his nonsense was a side effect of the Spiritron Transfer.
"Anyway, send over the Saint Graphs and the Summoning Ticket first."
As soon as the Director finished speaking, Roman on the other end complied. Before long, three Saint Graphs and a golden Summoning Ticket appeared atop the Spiritron array.
After handing the Saint Graphs and Summoning Ticket to Su Mo, the Director brushed aside her waist-length hair and said, "Start the summoning, then prepare yourself for never being able to get off work again."
"Huh?" Su Mo wore an expression of utter silence and complete confusion. He could not quite understand what the Director meant.
Shaking his head and not thinking too much about it, he poured mana into the three Saint Graphs, intending to test his luck and see whether he was European enough to summon Berserker Dog and Black Jeanne d'Arc.
"Let it be declared..."
After reciting that single line, Su Mo suddenly stopped. His expression became remarkably vivid, like someone with a fishbone stuck in his throat.
The Director and Mash beside him looked at him strangely. "What is it? Did something go wrong?"
"Well... I forgot what the summoning incantation was." Su Mo's mouth twitched. He was not some chuuni, and besides, he had spent decades in his previous life in an era without anime. He had long since forgotten that lengthy Heroic Spirit incantation completely.
"How did someone like you even become a Magus? And I truly can't understand how you could become a Heroic Spirit in the future." The Director's expression was even more spectacular than Su Mo's. Helplessly rubbing her forehead, she continued, "Listen carefully. I'll only say this once."
