The Light Screen footage continued.

Through their conversation, the function of the Holy Grail was revealed.

An omnipotent wish-granting machine!

Once obtained, one could make a wish to the Holy Grail, and any desire would be fulfilled.

This undoubtedly caused a shock in the real world; after all, an omnipotent wish-granting machine was something that only existed in stories, yet it turned out to be real.

At the same time, those clever minds began to wonder: if there were no records of supernatural powers or the Holy Grail War in the current world, could it be because of the Holy Grail's existence—perhaps someone had used it to wish for all traces of these things to be erased.

Although it sounded incredible, the world was vast, and it was normal for there to be all sorts of people, including those who were not quite right in the head.

Of course, the truth remained to be seen; for now, it was nothing more than speculation.

Light Screen footage—

At this moment, Irisviel expressed her true feelings—she had no desire for the Holy Grail; everything she did was for her husband, Emiya Kiritsugu. As long as she could help Emiya Kiritsugu, she was willing to sacrifice everything, and she earnestly requested that Saber help her husband obtain the Holy Grail.

To this, Saber's reply was firm: "My lady, please rest assured. I swear upon my honor that I will win the Holy Grail War."

In the real world, this exchange once again caused Irisviel's popularity to soar. Regardless of gender, people were filled with affection and longing for such a beautiful woman willing to dedicate everything to her lover, and they couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be to have such a great wife or husband.

At the same time, more people felt envy, jealousy, and hatred toward the scumbag Emiya Kiritsugu. How could he cheat when he had such a wonderful wife!

Bah! A peerless scumbag! The FFF Order should burn him at the stake!

At this very moment, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had just finished the dark-cuisine breakfast made by his loving wife while suppressing his shock, broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that the Light Screen footage was truly full of malice toward him.

Even the people around him were looking at him differently; the disgusted glares directed at a peerless scumbag made him sit on pins and needles, feeling incredibly wronged.

After all, he was clearly a top-tier husband who remained loyal to his wife despite countless temptations, and who loved his family and put them first. How could he be a peerless scumbag in the Light Screen footage?

Especially when Iris was so wonderful—the best wife in the world—how could he possibly betray her...

Thinking of this, Emiya Kiritsugu felt a deep sense of loathing toward his counterpart in the Light Screen, wishing he could rush in and blast that scumbag version of himself with a rifle.

However, just then, the tone of the Light Screen footage suddenly shifted.

Saber suddenly turned solemn, her gaze fixed on the distance.

Seeing this, although Irisviel didn't know what was happening, she understood that Saber must have sensed something, and her expression immediately turned serious as well.

"Saber, is there an enemy?"

"Yes, someone in that direction is actively releasing their battle aura. It is very strong—a Servant, issuing a challenge!"

"I see... Then, Saber, would you like to go and see?"

"If you do not mind, my lady."

Irisviel smiled slightly and said with a firm tone, "Then let's go, Saber!"

The two 'weak' women decided to face the challenge head-on.

The scene shifted, and the two had already arrived at Fuyuki Port.

At this time, there wasn't even a guard at Fuyuki Port, as a spell to disperse idlers had been cast; ordinary people without magical power would unconsciously stay away from this place.

Regarding this, the Light Screen footage explained it thoughtfully through subtitles, giving the real world a deeper impression of the profession of mages.

At the same time, it sparked the realization: So that's how it is; no wonder their movements hadn't been discovered.

These were all impressions Su Yun had deliberately crafted, and they were also the source of fantasy power.

In the port where all ordinary people had been dispersed, Saber and Irisviel saw a man wearing a green bodysuit. He held two spears in his hands—one long and one short—both wrapped in red cloth of a special material, covering even the spearheads to completely hide the details of the weapons.

Beyond that, the man was incredibly handsome, a standard beautiful man. The bodysuit perfectly accentuated his muscular physique, and he had a beauty mark under his right eye. A lock of hair fell over his forehead, making him look even more dashing.

Undoubtedly, this was a man of immense charm with an outstanding temperament, the type who looked like a perfect knight at first glance.

In the real world, countless women and even some men were captivated by his stunning appearance, their minds involuntarily captured.

But soon, this feeling was dispelled, leaving many stunned. Then, they heard Saber in the Light Screen footage say: "That beauty mark... You, you are actually using a charm ability."

Lancer smiled: "My apologies. This is a symbol of my curse, not my own intent. If I have caused the two ladies any trouble, I can only apologize. If you must blame someone, blame the fact that you are women."

The people in the real world suddenly realized that this man possessed a legendary charm ability. No wonder they couldn't help but be attracted to him the moment they saw him, feeling an urge to fall in love and be with him forever.

At the same time, it terrified countless people, because the Light Screen footage had allowed something that existed only in images to affect the real world. It showed that some magical things might indeed be real, rather than just special effects.

As for why the charm ability suddenly failed, it was likely that the Light Screen footage had blocked the influence.

So, why would the Light Screen footage, or the person broadcasting it, do such a thing?

It was truly a chilling thought.

In the Light Screen footage, Saber narrowed her eyes upon hearing Lancer's words: "Oh? Are you looking down on women?"

Lancer shook his head: "No, I have never looked down on women. In fact, I respect ladies very much. Moreover, today I am acting on my Master's orders, wandering openly through this city and releasing my battle aura tonight to issue a challenge."

"However, in the end, only two responded to my challenge and arrived here. To represent two individuals possessing such extraordinary courage—such ladies are, without a doubt, heroes. How could I possibly look down upon them?"

Saber: "..."

She did not speak, merely gazing at the other party with calm composure.

Lancer saw this and smiled nonchalantly, saying, "This clear fighting spirit—there is no doubt, you are the Saber of this Holy Grail War, correct?"

Saber: "That is correct, and you must be the Lancer!"

Lancer smiled, silently acknowledging the truth.

Then, a magnetic male voice resonated, beginning to narrate the situation like a voice-over.

[The seven Servants of the Holy Grail War: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Assassin, Caster, Berserker. Seven Servants, seven classes.]

[Now, it is the clash between Saber and Lancer, which also signifies the official beginning of the Holy Grail War...]

The sudden narration left many stunned, yet because of this voice, the audience also gained more intelligence regarding the Holy Grail War.

Sword, Spear, Bow, Rider, Assassin, Caster, Berserker.

Seven classes, is it?

It really does feel like a game...

In the real world, countless people were struck by such thoughts, focusing their attention even more intensely on the scene.

Many felt their heart rates quicken and their blood pressure rise.

Because everyone sensed that they were about to witness a true battle of the extraordinary! And true, extraordinary power!
