My Wish Is to Have Ten Wishes / Ma Anna's Pendant

Gretel grabbed her and kept pulling her cheeks, expressing her anger at Little Jack's betrayal of the organization.

Even though they usually get the same results, she came in second to last while Little Jack came in first, which made her feel very unbalanced.

Little Jack laughed happily, not caring that the Gretel was pinching her cheek.

She said innocently, "Because our food is delicious!"

A book on Python

As the strongest esper, I was threatened by my sister.

The father remarried, but the stepmother brought home a cold and aloof younger sister.

Father: See that pretty girl? Go after her!

Han Mo: Huh?

As the strongest ability user, I'm ordered to pick up girls?

But later we discovered that this younger sister seemed to have some problems?

Chapter 67, Section 288: My wish is to have ten wishes.

Gretel was speechless at Jack. She decided to ignore Jack, since Jack himself didn't know how he won, and asking her would be pointless.

The first match is over, and the result cannot be changed. Now we need to consider the next two matches.

What kind of competition are you talking about tomorrow?

The children gathered together and began discussing tomorrow's topic, making various guesses.

"Could it be hide-and-seek?" Jack blinked and said.

"Jack, you're dreaming. How could Master possibly give such a childish question as hide-and-seek?"

The children immediately retorted to Jack, "What's the point of playing hide-and-seek? Jack's a sure win!"

Little Jeanne said thoughtfully, "I think it might be a race. Master loves to make Master run."

"Great race!" Illya's eyes lit up; she could fly.

"Impossible, impossible. I think it will test our learning," Gretel offered her opinion.

"But we definitely can't compare to Teacher Second Generation in academics, can we?"

"It would be great if we knew the questions in advance, so we could be better prepared."

The children began to feel distressed.

At this moment, Gretel's eyes lit up, and she had a plan in mind.

She came in second to last in today's cooking competition, the worst among all the children, and she was naturally unwilling to accept it.

If things are this bad tomorrow, what will become of her dignity?

So Gretel Rhyme started thinking.

Of course, she had ulterior motives...

Gretel quietly and secretly found Scathach alone. Seeing that no one else was around, she gently shook Scathach's arm.

"Master—"

The Gretel drew out a long, cute note, which gave Scathach goosebumps.

"No."

Scathach shook her head, blocking the way before Gretel could even speak. Did she not know what Gretel was going to say?

She knew all the little thoughts of these children perfectly well; none of them could escape her discerning eyes.

"Master, just say it! Just a little bit, just a little bit, okay!"

Gretel wasn't going to give up so easily. She had no other choice but to try and get some inside information from her master so she wouldn't lose so badly tomorrow.

Not even a little bit.

Scathach refused calmly.

Before she could finish the Gretel, Scathach pointed to Yuxian was looking in this direction from a distance.

Seeing Gretel, Tong Yao immediately let go of her hand, pouted, and said, "Hmph! Fine, I won't tell you then. I don't believe I'll lose again tomorrow!"

Watching her storm off, Scathach shook her head helplessly.

Coincidentally, after Gretel left, Illya also quietly and stealthily approached, like a kitten stealing cream.

Alice just left.

Before Scathach could even get close to Illya, a single sentence from her was enough to send her packing.

She had already seen Gretel's expression; she clearly hadn't gotten the answer she wanted, so she had no choice but to turn back dejectedly.

There was no way to get to Scathach; the children had no other options and could only give up.

Yuxian had actually noticed the children's little actions a while ago; he had been paying close attention to their movements.

He walked over and asked Scathach, "Did the children come to you to sound you out?"

Scathach nodded. "Does Master also wish to ask about tomorrow's question?"

Yuxian was taken aback, then quickly shook his head and denied it, saying, "I'm not participating in the competition, so knowing the questions is useless to me."

Scathach chuckled softly, "That's not necessarily true."

"Is my reputation really that bad?"

Yuxian scratched his head awkwardly. He was worried about the children. If the competition was too difficult, it would damage their confidence.

Scathach looked at Yuxian, smiled, and shook her head.

Don't worry.

"They just want to have fun, and we'll let them have their fill tomorrow."

With Scathach saying this, Yuxian felt relieved. As long as the questions weren't particularly difficult and the children were quite engaged, he had nothing to say.

As for the final victory, it's not that important.

As night slowly fell, it was time to rest.

Yuxian and the children returned to their room to prepare for bed.

"Keep it up tomorrow!"

In his Yuxian, he encouraged the children.

"Master, you're not helping us at all."

The children began to condemn Yuxian, believing that he was talking without understanding the situation.

Yuxian said, "You have to rely on yourselves. I don't want the Greater Grail. You want it yourselves, so of course you have to go and get it yourself."

"We don't need the Greater Grail, but we absolutely cannot lose; that would be too humiliating."

"Then you should work hard, I'll be cheering you on."

The children wanted to say more, but Yuxian urged them to rest early.

"You should go to bed early so you'll have energy tomorrow. Otherwise you won't have any strength. Master said the competition tomorrow will be very tiring."

Gretel's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Does Master know tomorrow's topic?"

Yuxian tapped her little head with his finger, "Don't get any funny ideas. I saw what you were doing just now. Good kids don't cheat."

"Tch! Fine, I won't tell you then. My master definitely didn't tell Master either."

Gretel climbed into bed and hid under the covers, not believing that her master would secretly tell Yuxian the question.

The children all went to bed, Yuxian turned off the lights and went to sleep as well.

In another part of Fuyuki City, Fujimura Taiga and Medea were still not resting.

Fujimura Taiga was completely clueless about the Greater Grail and participated in the competition without any understanding of it, even managing to get second place on the first day.

She asked Medea, "What is the Greater Grail? Can it really grant any wish?"

After Medea patiently explained it to her, she asked, "What is your wish?"

Fujimura Taiga blinked and thought about it; she really hadn't considered this question before.

Can any wish be granted?

She asked, "Can I make ten wishes to it?"

Medea said irritably, "Are you planning to make ten wishes on your tenth wish?"

"Huh? How did you know what I was thinking?"

Fujimura Taiga looked at Medea with a puzzled expression, indicating that that was exactly what she thought.

Medea was speechless. There was no need to guess at all. Although they hadn't spent much time together, Fujimura Taiga was just too easy to understand.

Medea has witnessed too many conspiracies and betrayals. As a Witch, her understanding of people is obviously very profound.

Given Fujimura Taiga's straightforward personality, she really didn't know what to say.

If it were in her time, someone like Fujimura Taiga would never have lived long.

She's easygoing, guileless, and does whatever comes to mind.

This personality is very different from Medea's, but for some reason Medea admires Fujimura Taiga.

I envy her carefree life.

"Don't think about these things. You can consider it again if you can actually win the Greater Grail."

Fujimura Taiga nodded, immediately putting the matter out of his mind.

Chapter 68, Section 289: Maana's Pendant

The next day, everyone gathered once again in the Matou Family's living room.

After yesterday's competition, some were happy and some were sad. Today, everyone seems to be well-prepared and eager to compete.

This is no longer just about who will ultimately receive the Holy Grail; it's also about saving face for everyone involved.

Losing is acceptable.

But losing too badly is definitely not acceptable. We must strive for a better result no matter what, and even if we lose, we can't lose too badly.

Everyone was waiting for Scathach to announce the topic of today's match.

Scathach instantly became the focus of attention at the scene.

Scathach said calmly, "Today's match will be a bit special. Let me state in advance that you cannot attack each other."

Scathach immediately gave them a heads-up, indicating that this challenge would be quite competitive.

Several warmongers immediately showed delight.

"The competition will take place in the Shadow Land. You are responsible for your own safety. This is also a test. Those who do not want to go can give up."

Shadow Land?

The group exchanged bewildered glances. That was the legendary world of the dead. If even Scathach had said so, danger must exist.

Scathach paused for a moment, waiting for them to decide whether to continue participating in the competition.

No one quit.

Each group of contestants has Heroic Spirit, so they naturally believe they can overcome these dangers.
