The Light Screen footage continued.
As the two talked, the Holy Grail's function was revealed as well.
An all-powerful wish-granting device!
Once you got your hands on it, you could make a wish to the Holy Grail, and it would grant any wish.
This caused another shock in the real world. After all, an all-powerful wish-granting device was supposed to exist only in stories, yet it actually existed.
At the same time, the clever ones wondered whether the lack of records about supernatural powers and the Holy Grail War in the modern world was because of the Holy Grail's existence. Perhaps someone had used it to wish all of this away.
It was hard to believe, but the world was a big place, and there were all kinds of people. It was only natural for a few to be a little unhinged.
Of course, they would have to keep watching to find out what was really going on. For now, it was all speculation.
Light Screen footage—
At that moment, Irisviel also expressed how she felt. She had no desire for the Holy Grail at all; everything she did was for her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu. As long as she could help him, she was willing to give up anything. She earnestly asked Saber to help her husband obtain the Holy Grail.
Saber's reply was just as resolute. "Madam, please don't worry. I stake my honor on it: I will win the Holy Grail War."
In the real world, this conversation once again made countless people like Irisviel even more. Men and women alike felt drawn to and admired a beautiful woman who was willing to give everything for the person she loved. They couldn't help wondering how wonderful it would be to have such an amazing wife or husband.
At the same time, even more people envied and resented that scumbag, Emiya Kiritsugu. He had such a wonderful wife, yet he still cheated on her!
Tsk! What a scumbag! The FFF Order should burn him!
At that very moment, Emiya Kiritsugu had just forced himself through breakfast, his wife's lovingly prepared dark cuisine nearly making him pass out. Now he was breaking out in a cold sweat again. He realized that the Light Screen footage seemed to have it in for him.
Even the people around him were looking at him differently. The disgusted stares they gave him, as though he were the world's worst scumbag, left him fidgeting in his seat and feeling terribly wronged.
After all, he was clearly a model husband. Despite countless temptations, he had remained faithful to his wife. He loved his family and always put them first. So why was the man in the Light Screen footage such a scumbag?
Especially when Irisviel was so wonderful, the best wife in the world—how could he betray her?
Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu felt a deep loathing for his counterpart in the Light Screen footage. He wished he could rush inside and riddle that scumbag version of himself with bullets.

But just then, the scene in the Light Screen footage suddenly took a turn.
Saber's expression suddenly grew solemn, and she turned her gaze into the distance.
Seeing this, Irisviel didn't know what was going on, but she understood that Saber must have sensed something. Her expression grew serious as well.
"Saber, is there an enemy?"
"Yes. Someone in that direction is releasing their fighting spirit. It's very strong. A Servant, challenging us!"
"I see... Then, Saber, would you like to go and have a look?"
"If you don't mind, madam."
Irisviel smiled faintly and said with determination, "Then let's go, Saber!"
And so, the two "weak" women decided to face the challenge head-on.
The scene changed, and the two had arrived at Fuyuki Port.
There wasn't a single watchman at Fuyuki Port at that hour. A spell had been set up to drive away idle bystanders, causing ordinary people without magical energy to unconsciously steer clear of the area.
The Light Screen footage thoughtfully explained this through subtitles, giving people in the real world a deeper understanding of the profession of mage.
It also made them think, "So that's how it is. No wonder no one discovered where they were."
All of this was part of Su Yun's deliberate effort to shape that impression. It was also a source of Fantasy Power.
At the port, now cleared of ordinary people, Saber and Irisviel saw a man dressed in a tight green suit. He held two guns, one long and one short, both wrapped in red cloth made of a special material. Even their muzzles were covered, concealing every detail of the weapons.
Besides that, the man was extremely handsome, a true beauty. His tight suit accentuated his perfectly muscled physique, and a beauty mark sat beneath his right eye. A lock of black hair fell over his forehead, making him look even more dashing.
There was no doubt that he was a charismatic man of striking bearing, the sort who looked every bit the perfect knight.
In the real world, countless women—and even some men—were captivated by his stunning looks, their hearts ensnared before they knew it.
But the feeling soon vanished, leaving many people bewildered. Then they heard Saber say in the Light Screen footage, "That beauty mark... You actually used a charm ability."
The man with the twin guns smiled. "Sorry. It's the sign of a curse upon me, not something I can control. If I've made you two ladies uncomfortable, all I can do is apologize. If you must blame someone, blame the fact that you're women."
The people in the real world finally understood. This man had the legendary ability to charm others. No wonder they'd been unable to help being drawn to him the moment they saw him, and had felt an urge to fall in love with him and stay by his side forever.
At the same time, countless people were horrified. The Light Screen had somehow allowed something that should exist only in its footage to affect the real world. It seemed that supernatural phenomena really could be real, rather than mere special effects.
As for the charm ability suddenly stopping, the Light Screen had probably blocked its influence again.
Then why had the Light Screen—or the person showing it—done this?
The thought was truly terrifying.
In the Light Screen footage, Saber narrowed her eyes at the man's answer. "Oh? Are you looking down on women?"
The man with the twin guns shook his head. "No. I've never looked down on women. In fact, I have great respect for ladies. Besides, today I was ordered by my Master to stroll openly through the city and release my fighting spirit tonight to issue a challenge."
"But in the end, only the two of you answered my challenge and came here. That shows you have extraordinary courage. Ladies such as yourselves are undoubtedly heroes. How could I possibly look down on you?"
Saber: "..."
She said nothing, simply gazing at him calmly.
The man with the twin guns smiled, unbothered. "That clear fighting spirit... You're undoubtedly the Saber in this Holy Grail War, aren't you?"
Saber: "That's right. And you're Lancer, I presume!"
The man with the twin guns smiled and silently confirmed it.
Then a resonant male voice rang out, beginning its narration.
[The seven Servants of the Holy Grail War: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Assassin, Caster, and Berserker. Seven Servants, seven classes.]
[Now, Saber and Lancer are about to clash. This also marks the official beginning of the Holy Grail War...]
The sudden narration left many people stunned. But thanks to it, the audience learned more about the Holy Grail War.
Sword, spear, bow, rider, assassin, mage, berserker.
Seven classes?
It really did feel like a game...
In the real world, countless people had the same thought, and focused even more intently on what was happening.
Many people felt their hearts beat faster and their blood pressure rise.
Everyone could feel it: they were about to witness a true supernatural battle—and real supernatural power!
