Public Execution Starting with Saber

In this world, Su Yun's identity is that of an international student from the Flame Kingdom, and Heavenly King International High School is one of the premier international schools in the Yingzhou International Trade Autonomous Region, where students from all over the world come to study.

Yes, Yingzhou, the full name being the Yingzhou International Trade Autonomous Region.

As it stands, due to its geographical environment, Yingzhou has become an open region; compared to the conservative mainland, it is filled with the atmosphere of an international hub.

Of course, these "settings" are merely background, and for Su Yun, they hold no significance other than to make him sigh at how different this world is.

After transmigrating into this world, the World Consciousness, as an advance payment, not only granted Su Yun all the fantasy power it possessed but also made his body young and handsome, maxing out all his attributes to the limit of a mortal.

At the same time, it seamlessly inserted him into Heavenly King International High School.

It is precisely because of this school that Su Yun realized he was in a comprehensive anime world—because within this school alone, many characters he had only ever seen in two-dimensional media were everywhere, giving him the illusion of seeing a stitched-together monster when he first arrived.

The fifteen-year-old international student Artoria suddenly shivered, feeling as if she were being watched by someone with ill intent. It left her feeling baffled, and she subconsciously looked around.

The result, naturally, was that she saw nothing; everyone was listening intently to the lecture, and the culprit had already retracted his gaze.

Seeing this, Artoria frowned slightly, feeling even more uneasy.

Although on the surface she was just an international student from the Holy Britannian Empire, in reality, she held another identity: a member of the Holy Britannian Empire's royal family, with the true name Artoria Pendragon, a direct descendant of King Arthur.

Growing up in the royal family, she had faced all sorts of conspiracies and schemes since childhood. Even though her place in the line of succession was very low, she was still eligible to inherit the imperial throne, which naturally meant all sorts of trouble would come looking for her.

Therefore, the girl had been sensitive since she was young and possessed an innate, super-strong intuition; the moment someone stared at her with ill intent, she would feel it immediately.

If the girl could see her own hair, she would have discovered that her iconic ahoge had suddenly stiffened and turned toward Su Yun's location, as if pointing directly at him.

Seeing this, Su Yun couldn't help but twitch his face. Should he say it's worthy of Saber? Even without supernatural power, this ahoge could automatically lock onto targets like a human radar.

It's truly unscientific.

But it doesn't matter!

Su Yun signaled that he was fine, because very soon, Artoria's ahoge would have no time to look for him, because the world would, in the next minute, the next half-minute, the next ten seconds—

The next second would change!

Whoosh!

At the same moment, all over the world, above every place and every venue, a massive screen of light appeared.

Instantly, people across the globe were startled, and soon, many fell into a panic.

After all, this world had experienced too much unknown and terror, so everyone naturally assumed this was another mysterious phenomenon occurring.

But soon, people realized the situation seemed wrong, because text had actually appeared within the light screen.

The text differed in each region, displaying the language corresponding to that area, basically ensuring that people in every region could understand what was shown on the screen.

And what was displayed was a passage that sounded like a monologue, yet also like a statement of something buried in the dust of history.

[Mystery, chaos, madness—these things have never been far from humanity, far from this world.]

[Humanity has forgotten those of the past who possessed supernatural power and has erased the history that once existed.]

[The evil, the righteous, the kind, the mad—all supernatural beings have had the traces of their existence erased by the decisions of certain people.]

[Now, mystery is reviving, yet humanity has lost its supernatural power, becoming powerless and passive in the face of supernatural mystery.]

[What a tragedy, what an irony.]

[Humanity always makes the same mistakes.]

[But the world does not.]

[Humanity erased the stories of those savior heroes, yet the world still remembers.]

[Therefore, it is time. It is time to reveal the truth buried in the dust of history.]

[The legendary stories belonging to... the supernatural beings...]

People read this text involuntarily; some recited it silently, while others read it aloud.

Because of this, after finishing, most people were left completely bewildered, their first reaction being that this must be fake.

A prank by someone, a new promotional tactic by a film studio, a mirage, a hallucination of their own, and so on.

Basically, not many people believed the text on the light screen was real, because the opening was similar to many movies and was simply too cliché.

However, quite a few people knew this light screen was real, and the text displayed within it might also be true.

This was because the areas these people were in were quite special, such as a country's highest administrative office or the private estate of a wealthy tycoon.

These places did not allow outsiders or strangers to enter and had strict security, so the possibility of it being a prank did not exist.

However, regardless of the speculation, everyone's thoughts were temporarily set aside, because the situation on the light screen had undergone a new change.

After a burst of black screen, a magnificent title was displayed.

[This is the Holy Grail War belonging to the King of Eternity!]

Seeing this, many who had studied British history were stunned.

Because the terms "King of Eternal" and "Holy Grail" had already directly revealed a person's identity: the ancestor of the Holy Britannian Empire, the existence revered by the entire West as the King of Eternal.

Within Heavenly King International High School, the person most shaken to her core was Artoria.

Because the Pendragon Family was the direct bloodline of King Arthur, and although thousands of years of history had introduced many foreign lineages into the family, there was no doubt that this family was indeed the direct descendant of King Arthur, possessing the highest legal legitimacy of the Holy Britannian Empire.

Every member of the Pendragon Family took pride in this, and Artoria was no exception; she deeply admired that legendary ancestor, the Holy King, and had always yearned to become a great monarch like him.

Now, seeing this light screen—which seemed to be some kind of mysterious phenomenon—about to broadcast the story of King Arthur, Artoria's heart was naturally filled with shock and astonishment.

Of course, there was also the anger of having her family pride offended.

However, the young girl soon had no time for anger, as bewilderment and shock once again filled her mind.

Because, when the new image on the light screen appeared, the young girl saw...

"Is that... me?"

In the image, on a beautiful Scottish moor, a young girl with golden hair, wearing a custom-made white female suit of armor, stood there.

Inside the armor was a blue dress, but the armor was perfectly fitted over it, forming a complete set of armored dress. Wearing this, the girl stood on the verdant moor like a knight from a dream.

A gentle breeze blew, causing the girl's armored dress and hair to sway slightly. Her serious, naturally imposing face looked straight ahead, her hands resting in front, placed upon the hilt of a golden sword plunged into the ground.

Although she looked like a girl of only fifteen or sixteen, she was filled with the aura of a monarch, heroic and spirited, giving off a sense of natural authority.

And the girl's appearance was exactly the same as Artoria's, even the ahoge on her head was perfectly replicated, as if the girl in the video was Artoria herself!

After all, the girl in the video was indeed Artoria.

Except, her full name was Artoria-Arthur-Pendragon!

Arthur, that was her name as a monarch!

[This is—King Arthur!]

As these words appeared, the camera zoomed out rapidly, revealing that in front of the girl, an elite group of over a hundred knights was kneeling on one knee before their monarch.

Behind the elite Knights of the Round Table were tens of thousands of well-trained, elite troops!

Without a doubt, this was the historically renowned Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur's command and her invincible, powerful legion!

In an instant, Artoria was stunned, and everyone who knew Artoria was also stunned, all staring at the scene on the light screen with dumbfounded expressions, looking as if they were "unable to understand, but deeply shocked."

As for the culprit, Su Yun, he watched the fantasy power index on his system panel soaring rapidly from single digits, and a pleased smile curled the corners of his mouth.

Sure enough, his hypothesis was correct; although it consumed a small amount of fantasy power, this method of making fictional characters suffer social death in front of the whole world was a high-investment, high-return strategy!

An endless stream of fantasy power was being continuously generated and collected!

Come on! Let's continue! Let the public execution be even more intense!
