Although Waver had guessed the explosion was caused by those two troublesome women the moment he heard it in the office, his stomach still involuntarily spasmed when he saw them and the devastation they had caused.

"Oh dear, how pitiful."

Kenseth appeared in the corridor at some point, his face expressionless, as if everything happening before him had nothing to do with his Modern Magecraft Department.

"Lord El-Melloi..."

"It is a great honor to meet you here..."

Seeing that their fight had even alerted the head of the department, Rin and Luviya looked extremely grim.

Children can argue all they want, and neither of them will think they're wrong. But if parents get involved, they'll feel like they're being humiliated.

The two young ladies kneeling on the floor now have that same feeling.

Kenseth ignored Luviya's greeting and instead looked up at the crime scene.

No, this can no longer be called a crime scene; it's just ruins.

The entire Magecraft classroom was filled with broken desks and chairs and shattered bricks; not a single window in the classroom was intact, making it no different from a war zone in the Middle East.

Even Shinji was astonished by the destructive power of these two young ladies.

In terms of destructive power, these two are still no match for the two King of Knights who are currently engaged in a fierce battle in Fuyuki City.

Rin and Luviya are even more intimidating because after Artoria and the others finished fighting, there was nothing left, not even much residue.

The two didn't completely destroy the furniture, which allowed Shinji to clearly see the "dead state" of each table and chair.

Kenseth turned his gaze from his own classroom, which was completely destroyed, and looked at the other students present. "So... can anyone tell me why this is such a tragedy?"

No one spoke up then. Speaking of one's classmate in public would be seen as snitching, and would lead to being ostracized by the other students.

Ah~~

Kenseth tapped his forehead, realizing his words weren't quite right, and changed his tune. "Everyone here, come to my office later and explain things clearly. Don't worry, just tell the truth."

After saying that, Kenseth led Waver and Shinji away from the crime scene, giving no one else a chance.

"That's really rare."

Shinji, who was following behind Kirei Kotomine, said in a low voice, "With your temper, it's amazing that you were able to put up with it."

Kenseth said tenderly, "She told me to be gentler with the students."

"Tsk tsk."

Shinji didn't know what to say.

Men in love... I'm so jealous!

"And another thing," Kenseth grinned maliciously, "They'll soon be no longer my problem. Don't you think so, Shinji Matou?"

"..."

Shinji didn't want to talk and prepared to throw a middle finger at her.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

The details of the classroom destruction were not complicated. After interviewing several people involved individually, the faculty quickly understood the cause and effect of the incident.

"The incident occurred during the Magecraft lesson on mixing two-attribute gems."

A victim, identified as Student A, whose arm was bandaged and whose face was blurred, spoke with deep sorrow and indignation.

"The incident began with a trivial mishap. Miss Edelfelt didn't control her strength properly while performing Magecraft processing on the gemstone, and a small fragment of the gemstone hit Miss Tohsaka in the face."

"At that time, Ms. Tohsaka glared at Ms. Edelfelt, who laughed and said she didn't mean it."

Student A hesitated for a moment, then added, "I also believe she didn't mean it. That kind of Magecraft trick is very difficult to execute, and I've experienced that situation several times myself."

"This matter should have just passed, but a few minutes later it turned out to be Ms. Tohsaka's mistake."

Student B, whose face was covered in gauze and whose features were also blurred, explained, "Ms. Tohsaka's Magecraft tricks have always been rather rough, so the damage to Ms. Edelfelt was even more severe... It was deeply, physically embedded in Ms. Edelfelt's forehead, drawing blood."

Student C, trembling, said, "Tohsaka did it on purpose or unintentionally doesn't matter anymore; Ms. Edelfelt is convinced it was revenge against her."

"So, just when Miss Tohsaka was at the most crucial moment in her practical operation, Miss Edelfelt smashed her face hard with Gandr."

"This not only caused immense harm to Ms. Tohsaka, but also rendered her entire project unusable..."

Student D sighed deeply, "Of course, Ms. Tohsaka wouldn't just sit there and let herself be beaten; she immediately launched a counterattack... and so the exchange of fire grew increasingly intense... by the time everyone realized what was happening, the two of them were already firing their Gandrs without any restraint throughout the classroom..."

"I don't know much about what happened after that. We were all just focused on escaping and didn't dare to look back."

Smack

Waver paused the victim interviews, staring at the bills in his hand, looking like a furious lion.

"The classrooms were completely destroyed, all teaching equipment was rendered unusable, and several holes were punched through the ceilings and floors, resulting in 25 injuries... The minimum estimated loss is three million pounds..."

At this point, Waver took a deep breath and then looked at Rin and Luviya.

"Ladies, you've really stirred up quite a storm."

Waver's words sent a shiver down the spines of the two young ladies.

"This..."

"Us..."

Rin and Luviya wanted to shift the blame onto each other, but they just couldn't bring themselves to say it.

"Alright, Waver."

Kenseth stood up, crossed his arms, and looked down at the two prisoners.

"You two know what you've done, don't you? Leaving aside the injuries and destroyed research data, the compensation for the classroom alone will be enough to make your lives miserable."

"You should know that the Clock Tower is a holy site in the Mage world. The classrooms there are older than your grandfathers; they are genuine ancient buildings."

"This isn't something that can be easily solved by just paying money," Kenseth said, stroking his chin and smirking. "Besides, this isn't the first time. No matter how much Lily tells me to be gentle with the students, some matters of principle can't be overlooked."

"Yes, we are really sorry, we know we were wrong."

The two troublesome fairies lowered their heads, awaiting their punishment.

"Expelling you outright would be going too far; the Aristocratic Faction might use that as an excuse. After all, your talents are truly outstanding, and your family backgrounds are quite good..."

Kenseth thought for a moment, then pointed at them. "It's decided, you two will be assigned to Type-Moon Company on official business under the name of the Modern Magecraft Department!"

"Why?!"

"What?! You're kidding, right?!"

Rin and Luviya were both shocked to hear the news. They asked questions with their mouths agape, seemingly unable to accept the fact.

However, neither of them noticed that the moment Kenseth turned around, he revealed a smile of "successful plan" just like Shinji.

Chapter 174 Shinji: Make a contract with me and become Magical Girl!

"Teacher, they, along with others, took a plane to Japan."

In the Modern Magecraft Department office, Waver reported to Kenseth, who was reviewing a report.

"Oh, really? Then let's leave it at that."

Kenseth didn't seem to care much; he didn't even lift his eyes from the book.

Having Shinji take Rin and Luviya away was just an excuse; Kenseth and his group's real purpose was to use this opportunity to send away some marginal figures from related families to avoid being caught in the subsequent conflict.

Of course, sending the two young ladies away wasn't entirely an excuse; both Waver and Kenseth were finding their destructive power unbearable.

The Clock Tower has made a lot of money in the past two years, but that doesn't mean we can let these two plague gods wreak havoc at will.

To avoid losing all their earnings in this bottomless pit, Waver and Kenseth made the decisive decision to send the man away.

"But teacher, is this really alright?" Waver asked hesitantly. "Is it okay to hand them over to Shinji?"

Kenseth stopped flipping through the report, glanced up at Waver, and said, "What? Are you worried that Shinji will steal your man?"

"I wasn't talking about Leinys."

Waver wasn't worried at all that Shinji would do that.

Although that guy is a walking, talking gun, he still understands the principle of not coveting a friend's wife.

In the words of the Second Master himself, "He's just a womanizer, not a scumbag," and there's no need for him to seek trouble for himself.

Waver was worried that some people might disregard martial ethics and take action directly against Japan.

"They wouldn't dare to make a move in Japan."

Kenseth replied with a cold laugh, "Shinji Matou is no pushover. If they really dare to make a move in Japan, they'll be the ones who suffer."

Waver rubbed his temples in exasperation, complaining, "Those clueless Aristocratic Faction, I really don't know where they get the nerve to use righteous words to do such despicable and shameless things."

The thought that those Aristocratic Faction, who claim to "support the orthodox Magecraft, crack down on heretics, and punish traitors," are actually envious of the profits earned by the Modern Magecraft Department and its ever-growing influence on the Mage world and the general world, is truly unsettling.

"Shinji was right. They talk a lot about principles, but all they're thinking about is business. If they really wanted to eliminate the traitors, they should have targeted the Mage families in America."

In terms of heresy, North American Magecraft went far beyond the Modern Magecraft Department; they completely embraced capital and placed Magecraft above mystery.

Moreover, since North American Magecraft immigrated from various European countries, their numbers have grown significantly over the past hundred years, far exceeding the number of the Modern Magecraft Department.

In terms of both quantity and quality, the "traitors" in North America are far more despicable than the "heretics" inside the Clock Tower.

However, the Aristocratic Faction seems to have inherited Chiang Kai-shek's true teachings, clinging to the principle of "pacifying the country before resisting foreign aggression."

Kenseth remained calm in the face of his disciple's indignation, explaining slowly, "Isn't it obvious? To borrow a line from Shinji Matou's favorite political drama, the Americans are too strong."

"Did they think we were easy targets...?"

Waver snorted, clearly unhappy that he had been underestimated.

Kenseth, however, remained remarkably calm. "Don't worry about Waver. I come from Aristocratic Faction; I know those people better than anyone."

"They are hesitant to risk their lives for great things, yet they forget righteousness for petty gains. They cannot afford the cost of a full-scale confrontation with us, and only dare to employ salami-slicing tactics to get closer and closer. But the tide is in our favor, and the longer it goes on, the more advantageous it will be for us."

"So, don't rush. The best is yet to come."

Looking at the white clouds in the sky, Kenseth said confidently.

"Is that so?"

Do you know why Shinji Matou promoted Naked-eye 3D technology?

"Isn't it for the sake of box office figures?"

Kenseth slowly shook his head. "That's an application of Ley Lines Magecraft. More important than increased box office revenue is that this technology allows us to intervene in the Ley Lines around the world..."

The thought that the world's Ley Lines were under the control of his side made Waver's expression change.

"Shinji's appetite is really big..."

"Right?" Kenseth sneered. "So don't worry, that kid's shrewd enough."

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Achoo!

Shinji suddenly sneezed as he entered the airport terminal.

"Damn it, who's talking about me?"

Shinji rubbed his nose and muttered, "Damn it, I should never have gone to Britain. I brought back so many burdens."

As he spoke, Shinji turned his head and glanced behind him.

Rin followed behind, carrying her suitcase and looking conflicted.

"Damn it! I can't believe he's back after only a year! How am I supposed to explain this to my father?"

Rin toyed with her ponytail, letting out a complaining sound.

"Rin, how do you feel about returning to your hometown after so long?"

When Shinji asked her that question on purpose, Rin's expression turned even uglier.

"I have no feelings about it," Rin replied coldly. "Taking a long-haul flight with someone you hate is pure torture."

At this point, Rin's eyes turned to the blue-clad, blonde girl behind her.

Luviya was in a bad mood too. She glared at Rin and said unhappily, "You're the one torturing me! Don't you even think about who's responsible for this situation?"
