Fuyuki City Cathedral. Golden Flash, dressed in casual black, lounged on a soft leather sofa, gently swirling the pure gold wineglass in his hand. The finest wine, aged for thousands of years, gave off an intoxicating fragrance.
Across from him, Kirei Kotomine, dressed in a church uniform, wore a stern and meticulous expression. But only Golden Flash knew how twisted he truly was inside.
Shattered to Pieces and Still Going to Class
"Saber hasn't been summoned yet, right?"
"Correct."
"These people are really impatient... Did you find anything?"
"Not yet. The magical fluctuations came from Private Hoen-Gyu Academy. Because of Sakura Matou, I was worried about alerting Zouken Matou, so I didn't place any Familiars there."
Kirei Kotomine had only sent Familiars to investigate after noticing the magical fluctuations, but Su Ning and Rin Tohsaka had already left by then.
Medea, on the other hand, had stationed a large number of Familiars near the school out of concern for Souichirou Kuzuki. She had practically witnessed the entire battle between the two sides.
Such tremendous power!
Against an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm of this level, it would be useless no matter how many Dragon Tooth Soldiers I created...
I have to find a way to ally myself with someone else, or use my Noble Phantasm to control another Servant!
Anyone with eyes could tell that Medusa's true master was neither Matou Shinji nor Sakura Matou, but Zouken Matou, that old worm who had lived for centuries.
Coupled with his status as one of the Three Great Families, he was clearly not someone easy to deal with.
Thus, Medea did not have many targets to choose from.
Archer, Lancer, and... Saber!
"Say... with the school wrecked like this, can Shirou still summon Saber?" On the way back to the castle, Su Ning had been wondering about that.
It had to be said that the students really had it rough.
Even though an explosion like that had happened the night before and alarmed the entire city, nobody knew the cause or the exact location. So Private Hoen-Gyu Academy still held classes as usual the next day.
Of course, the first thing those miserable students did upon arriving at school was clean up their poor classrooms, which looked as though they had been ravaged by an earthquake and a typhoon.
After school that afternoon, every club's activities had also turned into cleaning their clubrooms.
The ever-helpful Shirou Emiya was still the one left behind until the very end.
"Big Sis, that Matou Shinji has set up magical runes around the school again. He wants to refine all the students and turn them into Rider's magical energy."
"That isn't surprising. The more magical energy, the better. Whether it's Matou Shinji or Zouken Matou, neither of them sees ordinary people as human."
"Then are we going over there tonight?"
"Of course! Sella, is the car ready?"
"It's ready, Miss."
Since Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matou, Shirou Emiya, Souichirou Kuzuki, and Matou Shinji all attended Private Hoen-Gyu Academy, the early stages of the battle were bound to revolve around that place.
A luxury car that would make countless people jealous slowly drove through the city.
By now, Fuyuki City was filled with Familiars belonging to Medea, Kirei Kotomine, and Zouken Matou. Their surveillance of the Einzbern family, in particular, had been raised to the absolute limit.
