Fuyuki City Cathedral. The Golden Flash, dressed in a black casual outfit, lounged lazily on the soft leather sofa, gently swirling a pure gold wine glass. Inside, an exquisite vintage wine aged for thousands of years released a captivating aroma.
Across from him, Kirei Kotomine, clad in his church uniform, sat with a stern face and an expression of utmost seriousness. Only the Golden Flash knew just how twisted his heart truly was.
Chapter 11: Still Going to Class After Being Shattered Like This
"Saber hasn't been summoned yet, has she?"
"Correct."
"These guys sure are impatient... Any findings?"
"Not yet. The magical fluctuation originated from Private Hoen-Gyu Academy. Because of Sakura Matou's involvement, I was worried about alerting Zouken Matou, so I didn't deploy any familiars there."
Kirei Kotomine had only sent out familiars to investigate after detecting the magical fluctuation. By then, Su Ning and Rin Tohsaka had already left.
Medea, however, had placed a large number of familiars near the school out of concern for Souichirou Kuzuki, and had practically witnessed the entire battle.
"Such immense power!"
"Against an Anti-Army Noble Phantasm of that level, no matter how many Dragon Tooth Soldiers I create, they'd be utterly useless..."
"I must find a way to ally with someone else, or use my Noble Phantasm to control another Servant!"
Any keen observer could tell that Medusa's true master was not Matou Shinji, nor Sakura Matou, but Zouken Matou, the old worm who had lived for centuries.
Coupled with his status as one of the Three Great Families, he was clearly not someone to be trifled with.
Therefore, Medea's available targets were not numerous.
"Archer, Lancer, and... Saber!"
"Speaking of which... the school's been wrecked like that. Can Shirou still summon Saber?" On the way back to the castle, Su Ning had been curious about this question.
It had to be said, students really had it rough.
Even though an explosion of that magnitude had occurred last night, alarming the entire city, because the cause and exact location were unknown, Private Hoen-Gyu Academy still held classes as usual the next day.
Of course, the first thing these unfortunate students did upon arriving at school was clean up, tidying the pitiful classrooms that looked like they'd been hit by an earthquake and a typhoon.
In the afternoon after school, all club activities had turned into cleaning the club rooms.
The ever-helpful Shirou Emiya, as always, was the one left until the very end.
"Sister, that Matou Shinji has still set up magical runes in the school, trying to refine all the students into magical energy for Rider."
"That's not surprising. Magical energy is always better the more you have. Whether it's Matou Shinji or Zouken Matou, they're both the type who don't see ordinary people as people."
"Are we still going over tonight?"
"Of course! Sella, is the car ready?"
"Ready, young lady."
Since Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matou, Shirou Emiya, Souichirou Kuzuki, and Matou Shinji were all from Private Hoen-Gyu Academy, the early stages of the battle would inevitably revolve around this location.
A luxury car that made countless people envious slowly drove through the city.
By now, Fuyuki City was covered in the familiars of Medea, Kirei Kotomine, and Zouken Matou, with surveillance on the Einzbern estate having been pushed to its absolute limit.
