Cú Chulainn, You're Finished / When You Run Into Your Homeroom Teacher at the Arcade

"Ha?"

Mordred laughed in exasperation. "No reason to fight?"

"What kind of reason do you want? The country? The people?"

Her face, obscured by her helmet, was contorted, and her voice was filled with resentment.

"Then I'll give you this reason!"

Mordred continued her attack on Gretel with her sword, giving Gretel no chance to catch her breath.

Gretel continued to passively resist without making any counterattack, which only fueled Mordred's anger.

She was looked down upon, she was ignored, she was ignored once again...

Suddenly, Gretel charged at Mordred, wielding the Scythe of Death.

"Oh? Is it finally coming?"

Mordred raised her sword with both hands, ready to meet Gretel's attack and the attack of the Holy Lance, Rhongomyniad.

However, Gretel did not confront her directly; instead, she darted past her, her movements intersecting with hers.

Clang!

The sound of swords clashing rang out behind Mordred.

At the same time, an unfamiliar voice reached Mordred's ears.

"I'll accept your heart!"

Chapter 55, Section 276: Cú Chulainn, you're finished!

As Mordred and Gretel's farce unfolded, a blue-clad gunslinger suddenly appeared from the side.

His sneak attack was thwarted by Gretel.

Mordred turned around and said in a very unpleasant tone, "Interrupting someone's fight, do you want to die?!"

She glanced at Gretel, who had launched the sneak attack on her, and was somewhat surprised that Gretel, who had been resisting, would take the initiative to swing her weapon.

The blue-skinned spearman is Cú Chulainn.

He said with a flippant expression, "Oh dear, although it's not very classy to do this, I can't refuse my Master's request."

Bazett, who was blocked by Kiritsugu Emiya, finally arrived in Fuyuki City on the third night of the Holy Grail War.

Along with her came her Servant, Cú Chulainn, the Child of Light of Ireland.

Mordred stepped forward and faced Cú Chulainn. She said to Gretel, "You step back, I'll deal with him."

At this moment, she no longer hated Gretel as much as before.

This seemingly timid and quiet girl actually stood up for her in battle. Although Mordred didn't say anything on the surface, she had already acknowledged her in her heart.

Gretel glanced at Mordred, nodded, and stepped back to Waver's side.

She knew she was no match for Cú Chulainn yet, and continuing would be pointless and would only hinder Mordred's fight.

"Senior, it's Cú Chulainn. What do we do now?"

Mash stood guard vigilantly beside Yuxian, asking for his opinion.

Yuxian and said, "Let Mordred vent first. We'll observe and adapt to the situation."

While it wouldn't be difficult to take down Cú Chulainn by swarming him, it's clearly more appropriate to leave the current situation to Mordred.

However, he still warned, "Mordred, watch out for the red spear in his hand; that's Gae Bolg."

Cú Chulainn glanced at Yuxian. "You actually know Gae Bolg."

"After all, I am Scathach's disciple! How could I not recognize Gae Bolg?"

Yuxian shrugged. He not only knew Gae Bolg, but also often used it for training.

Cú Chulainn was drawn in by Yuxian's words and began to scrutinize Yuxian, trying to determine if he was lying.

He found it hard to believe that the queen would accept this person as her disciple; it didn't match the Scathach he knew.

But he quickly lost interest in thinking about these things. Mordred's attack was coming, and he had to go all out against the armored swordsman in front of him.

Ding ding ding ding!

The battle between the two was extremely fierce. Their strengths were evenly matched, and they were locked in a fierce struggle, unable to determine who was superior.

Cú Chulainn knew that he couldn't defeat his opponent in a hurry, and that this would be very disadvantageous for him. There were others watching him closely, and he would definitely suffer if the battle dragged on.

He stepped back, slightly away from Mordred, twirled his red spear, lowered his upper body, and pointed the spear tip at Mordred.

"Even if you know about Gae Bolg, so what? Can you dodge this shot?"

Cú Chulainn begins to unleash his Noble Phantasm.

"My method of using Gae Bolg is different from that old woman's. Come and taste the cursed Crimson Spear!"

[Gae Bolg]!

This was a shot that reversed cause and effect; before his spear was even thrust out, the result of 'hitting the opponent's heart' had already been achieved.

Since the outcome was already predetermined, this shot was an unavoidable, inevitable hit.

To counter Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm, one must either stay as far away as possible or possess a considerable degree of luck or intuition to barely dodge its vitals.

Yuxian frowned deeply. He had already warned Mordred to be careful, but he hadn't expected Mordred to be so careless and underestimate him.

Now, all she can hope is that her family's intuition will save her life.

"I'll accept your heart!"

Cú Chulainn's spear thrust forward with lightning speed, almost reaching Mordred's heart in an instant, and the situation seemed to be turning very bad.

It's clearly too late for a rescue now; Mordred has to rely on himself to dodge the attack.

Everyone tensed up, waiting for the outcome of this attack; time seemed to drag on.

However, tonight is destined to be an eventful night.

Just as Cú Chulainn's spear was about to pierce his opponent's heart, a door appeared between him and Mordred.

The Gae Bolg spear in his hand pierced through the crack of the door that had just opened, the front half of the spear completely disappearing into the doorway.

Cú Chulainn was stunned, caught off guard by this sudden turn of events. His Noble Phantasm had produced such an unbelievable result.

He hurriedly tried to retract his spear, but found that Gae Bolg was already firmly stuck and unable to move.

Cú Chulainn increased his strength, but unexpectedly, a tremendous force came from the red spear, sending him flying.

Gae Bolg, his Noble Phantasm has been stolen.

He stared wide-eyed as the red spear that had been with him for many years slowly disappeared into the doorway until it vanished completely from his sight.

Cú Chulainn was unable to accept this fact; he was completely stunned and stood there with an expression of utter astonishment.

Brush!

A red spear flew rapidly back out from inside the door, its target being Cú Chulainn, who was standing there stunned.

Bite!

The spear grazed his right cheek, and a strand of hair drifted down from his ear.

Cú Chulainn didn't even have time to react to the incoming shot; he didn't even make a move, standing like a wooden target.

The spear seemed to be nailed to the air, resting on his shoulder.

This scene, which defied the laws of physics, instantly reminded him of a terrifying figure and a terrifying skill with a gun.

That's the correct way to use Gae Bolg.

Throw the spear, freezing the enemy in mid-air, then use a second spear to pierce the enemy completely.

Of all the people he knew, only one possessed such terrifying marksmanship, and that person was a very frightening individual.

What's even more terrifying is that he remembered he might have said something bad about her earlier...

Cú Chulainn's face immediately fell; he knew he was absolutely doomed this time.

Sure enough, another Gae Bolg shot came out of the door, this time to his left, grazing his face and freezing in mid-air.

Two long spears were crossed over his shoulders, holding his head between them, rendering him unable to move.

At that moment, the door in front of them finally opened completely, and a distant voice came from inside.

"I think I hear you calling me, my disciple."

Then Scathach, with her long purple hair, slowly walked out and stood in front of Cú Chulainn.

She blinked, looked at Cú Chulainn calmly, and said softly, "Long time no see. It seems you've missed me quite a bit."

Cú Chulainn wanted to nod and shake his head, but he couldn't move and could only greet the other person with a bitter expression.

"Master..."

Section 277, Chapter 56: When You Meet Your Homeroom Teacher at the Arcade

Cú Chulainn felt a pang of bitterness; he had never imagined he would encounter Scathach here.

Scathach is different from him. The Lord of the Magical Realm almost never leaves the Shadow Land, and it's even less likely that he would come to cause trouble for him just because of a casual remark.

Scathach's presence here is definitely for something else, but none of that matters. What matters is that she's been caught red-handed.

Cú Chulainn felt incredibly unlucky. He was extremely embarrassed and if he could escape, he would leave immediately without looking back and never come back to this damned place.

But he couldn't.

Scathach was his mentor, so naturally she wouldn't kill him just because of such a sarcastic remark.

However, while the death penalty may be avoided, punishment is far from spared.

He seemed to already foresee his tragic fate that was about to unfold.

Bazett ran out from the shadows; she had seen everything that had just happened and knew how formidable this person was.

She was very familiar with the legend of Cú Chulainn, and naturally, she was also very clear about the legend of Scathach.

She bowed very respectfully to Scathach and pleaded earnestly, "Your Majesty, please forgive him."

Scathach looked at Bazett and said to Cú Chulainn, "Your descendants?"

"She is a descendant of the Red Branch Knights, so you could also consider her a descendant of mine."

Bazett was not a direct descendant of Cú Chulainn, but everyone in the Red Branch Knights was his comrade-in-arms and brother, and their descendants were of course his descendants as well, a fact that Cú Chulainn absolutely acknowledged in his heart.

Scathach Bazett, not wanting to make things difficult for her, but she also had no intention of letting Cú Chulainn off the hook.

"Take a moment to calm down here."

Scathach turned and walked towards Yuxian, glancing at the open space not far away along the way.

"Ah! We've been discovered! We're doomed!"

The children tensed up when they saw Scathach looking at them on the screen.

Knowing that their actions had been discovered by Scathach, they began to pace frantically around the room, like ants on a hot plate.

"What to do? What to do?"

"Master will definitely tell Master, right?"

"Hurry up and think of a solution!"

Unlike the children's anxiety, Scathach slowly walked up to Yuxian and said softly, "I'm back."

Yuxian asked with a smile, "Has the matter been resolved?"

Scathach's sudden departure must have been for something very important, Yuxian didn't ask about the specifics.
