Chapter 92: Heroic Spirit Summoning Part

"Hold on, Weber!" Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald urged Weber, a student who was dragging a large suitcase behind him, in dissatisfaction, "You can't even do this little thing, can you?"

"Teacher, what exactly do you put in here? It's too heavy!" Weber Velvet asked while dragging the box with sweat all over his forehead, because the weight of the box was really inconsistent with its appearance.

"Hmph, that's none of your business," Kenneth said coldly, "I didn't plan to bring you to this magic ceremony at all. Now that you can participate in this magic ceremony as my assistant, you should be grateful!"

"As if no one cares..." Weber muttered to himself, but Kenneth's ears seemed to be particularly good and he immediately turned around and glared at Weber.

"What did you say?" Kenneth's tone became even colder. He glared at Weber and said, "Do you think that if the Magic Marshal hadn't suddenly come to me and ordered me to bring you along, with a family inheritance of no more than three generations like you, you could become a lord's assistant?"

Weber bit his lip in humiliation and lowered his head in silence. He was very dissatisfied with the atmosphere in the Clock Tower that only valued bloodline and family heritage, but he had no resources and had no way to prove himself.

But a few days ago, the Second Magician, the Mage Marshal of the Clock Tower, who had only appeared in the legends passed down from generation to generation by ordinary magicians, suddenly found his teacher, Lord El-Melloi. He suddenly asked Kenneth to participate in a ceremony called the Holy Grail War in the Far East and to take Weber with him to participate.

Kenneth originally planned to bring his newly engaged fiancée Sora as an assistant, but facing the Demon Marshal, his original plan was no longer worth mentioning.

So much so that Kenneth was just stunned for a moment, hesitated for a little while, and then immediately asked someone to bring Weber to his office.

He informed Weber of the details in front of Mr. Jewel and asked Weber to be his assistant and go to a small place called Fuyuki City in the Far East.

Weber was stunned at the time. Could it be that his talent had finally been discovered by others? Had he finally waited for the opportunity to prove himself?

But after thinking carefully, Weber had a big doubt. Why would a legendary figure like Bao Shi Weng specifically ask Kenneth to bring him along? Is there anything about him that is worth being remembered by him?

Just like that, with a mixed feeling of trepidation and anticipation, Waver Velvet boarded an international flight to Fuyuki City with his mentor.

Along the way, as Weber's mentor, Kenneth had been carefully explaining to Weber the various details of being an assistant in Holy Grail War magic, but his attitude was very arrogant and his words were full of sarcasm.

Although Weber was very indignant, he still endured it because no matter what, this opportunity was very rare for him.

In other words, it is almost impossible for a proud magician like Kenneth to make an exception and appoint Weber as his assistant in a magic competition of this level.

"When using strengthening magic continuously, as long as the intensity is maintained at a level of 'just enough to do it', a lot of mana can be saved," Kenneth said, looking up and down at the panting Waver. "You can't even do 'continuous dynamic output adjustment', right?"

Weber was choked for a moment, because he had indeed forgotten this method, and Kenneth had indeed briefly explained it in his earlier course.

Weber now had no choice but to endure Kenneth's ridicule and calm down to adjust his own enhanced magic method according to the instructions of his mentor.

In this way, although Weber was still very tired, this tiredness was limited to his body, and his magic power output was steadily reduced, allowing him to persist longer.

"The car from the Hyatt Hotel will come to pick us up in a while," Kenneth said, "but the luggage you are responsible for carrying must not be touched by any irrelevant personnel, do you understand?"

"I see, Mr. Kenneth," Weber responded, "What's in it?"

"This is something more important than your miserable life!" Kenneth glared at Weber and did not directly answer Weber's question.

Kenneth was originally very disdainful of this magic ceremony held in such a remote magic village in the Far East, but after Bao Shi Weng personally came to him and had a secret talk with him, Kenneth immediately put away his arrogance.

That is a great magic ritual that is closely related to the third magic!

The more information the Demon Marshal revealed, the more Kenneth sweated.

Why didn't the Magic Association take this dangerous magic ritual seriously before, which attempted to drag all of humanity into this? Why did the Magic Marshal come to me in person?

"You must do your best to prevent interference outside the rules from affecting this Holy Grail War, Lord El-Melloi." The Magic Marshal warned Kenneth meaningfully, but he did not explain what "interference outside the rules" meant. "If necessary, I will personally help you."

Considering that Fuyuki's Holy Grail War involves the third magic, could it be that the restraining force has issued an order to me through the Magic Marshal? The more Kenneth thought about it, the more he thought that the water of this Holy Grail War was too deep, and he might be caught in it this time!

Kenneth temporarily decided to put aside the fragments of Iskandar's cloak that he had bought at a high price, because he thought that a servant of this level might not be enough to deal with this crisis.

After careful consideration, Kenneth borrowed a large sum of money from his father-in-law who was a psychic. Then he went to India himself and got a piece of metal that looked like a piece of armor fragment (the actual material was unknown).

If everything goes well, the servants summoned by this relic will be much easier to control than the King of Conquerors Iskandar, and his orders will be better executed.

Watching his student struggling to carry the huge suitcase onto the trunk of the car by himself, Kenneth secretly made up his mind that no matter how dangerous this Holy Grail War was, he must survive to the end!

There are still so many research topics waiting for this genius to study, and the El-Melloi family still needs him, Kenneth, to continue their glory. How can he die in such a remote place?

Thinking of this, the beautiful face of his fiancée Sora appeared in Kenneth's mind, and Kenneth couldn't help but reveal a little gentle smile.

Just wait, Sora, I will definitely come back to you alive!

Chapter 93: Summoning Heroic Spirits Part

He was an elegant young man with white hair, pigtails, and wearing slightly strange clothes.

He stepped off the transatlantic yacht carrying a suitcase emblazoned with an abstract letter "c" surrounded by an olive branch logo.

Following the man down from the yacht was a handsome young man in a gorgeous white suit and with long golden hair.

The boy looked to be only in his teens, but his eyes were firm and mature, and he didn't look like a child at all.

"Teacher," the boy said to the young man, "Can the Holy Grail of Fuyuki City really fulfill our long-cherished wish?"

"No." The white-haired young man answered firmly, but after seeing the expression on his disciple's face, he smiled gently, "But we came to participate in this Holy Grail War just for the money."

"I understand, teacher," the blond boy nodded thoughtfully, "Is it because of the trial model?"

"Ah, yes," the middle-aged man whom the blond boy called teacher said after a sigh, "The cost of starting the prototype of Chaldeas is too high. Even if all the property of the Animusphia family is sold, it will not be enough."

"But teacher, when you commissioned Dr. Hatteras to investigate the Greater Holy Grail in Fuyuki City, wasn't the result a contaminated defective product?" the blond boy asked, "Even if it was something like that, can it fulfill the wish of obtaining money?"

"That's true," the young man's smile disappeared, "but the Animusphia family has been forced into a desperate situation, and so have I. So even if the magic power is contaminated, there is a chance that it can be transformed into a usable resource."

"If I can't complete the construction of Chaldea in my generation, then it will be even more impossible after me," the young man said in a flat tone, "You know what Olga Marie is like."

"Her words won't work."

"...So, do you want to use that relic?" the blond boy asked, "that ring."

"That's right," the young man's smile returned to his face, "One of the Ten Rings. With the help of this ring, the Servant summoned can purify the contents of the Holy Grail again."

"King Solomon..." the blond boy sighed, "I really can't imagine any opponent who can defeat the Magic King."

"As long as he is within the rules, no magician can defeat him," the young man said, "not even magicians from the Age of Gods. It is better to say that King Solomon himself is the strongest magician from the Age of Gods."

"Well, we should go to the designated location," the young man saw that his student seemed to be hesitant, so he stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "Our participation in the Holy Grail War this time is just a way to raise funds for Chaldea. There is no need to feel any pressure. Even if we fail, there is still a long way to go in the future."

"I understand, teacher." The blond boy nodded in response.

Dividing line

After many years, Matou Kariya, who ran away from home, returned to Fuyuki City, a city that he loved and hated and was obsessed with.

He once left Fuyuki City and lived alone as an ordinary person because he hated the blood of the Matou family and his "father" Matou Zouken.

When he was a teenager, Matou Kariya had a childhood sweetheart whom he had always secretly loved, named Zenjo Aoi.

But Zenjo Aoi, who is three years older than him, did not notice Matou Kariya's feelings. She just treated him tenderly like a younger brother and put herself in his shoes.

By some coincidence, Matou Kariya learned that his closeness with Zenjo Aoi and the fact that they became childhood sweethearts were actually the special arrangements of his "father", Matou Zouken, because his "father" noticed the excellent genetic qualities of the Zenjo family before anyone else.

Understanding this, Matou Kariya took the initiative to withdraw from the competition with Tōsaka Tokiomi, who also liked Zenjo Aoi.

Because in this way, Zouken Matou's covetousness for Zenjo Aoi, the excellent mother, would be shattered.

This is a rebellion and revenge by Matou Kariya against Matou Zouken, and also his protection for the person he has always loved.

But now, Matou Kariya was suddenly notified that his family, including his brother Matou Tsuruno, nephew Matou Shinji, and "father" Matou Zouken, were all killed in a huge explosion.

So now Matou Kariya has to return to his hometown that he loves and hates, to find out what happened to the Matou family.

Wearing a simple black jacket, the black-haired young man Matou Kariya took a taxi to the address of the Matou family's old house.

The once luxurious Matou residence has now turned into ruins. Matou Kariya crossed the outer blockade and slowly walked inside.

His mood was very complicated. On the one hand, Matou Kariya felt a twisted pleasure in seeing his "home" destroyed and his "family" killed, but on the other hand, he was full of memories of this family.

Of course, there are few happy memories among them.

Matou Kariya did not feel any sadness about his own brother being killed in the explosion.

Because he and Matou Tsuruno have completely opposite personalities, they have been at odds with each other since childhood. The only thing they have in common is that they both hate their "father" Matou Zouken.

The death of his nephew Matou Shinji is perhaps the only thing that makes Matou Kariya feel sad.

Although he is the son who hates his brother, Matou Kariya does not hate Matou Shinji.

In the past, whenever Matou Kariya returned to the Matou family, Matou Shinji always looked at his uncle with expectant eyes, because Matou Kariya always brought interesting gifts for his nephew.

From cool robot models to knight belts in special effects dramas.

Those things that are considered "useless and harmful" by ordinary parents, Matou Kariya will buy them for Matou Shinji, and will tell him many stories outside of Fuyuki.

Gradually, Matou Kariya became Matou Shinji's only hope in this repressive and twisted family.

Whenever Matou Kirei left, Matou Shinji was always very sad, and secretly calculated and looked forward to the next day when his uncle would return to the Matou family.

Unfortunately, Shinji Matou did not live to see the day when his uncle would return to him with hope and happiness.

Matou Kariya strolls among the ruins, trying to find any clues that Matou Zouken survived.

That's right, he didn't believe that the old monster would be killed by an explosion of this magnitude.

This accident was very strange, and Matou Kariya speculated that it was most likely done by a magician who was Matou Zouken's enemy.

There is currently no one in this world who understands the horror of "father" and his obsession with the concept of survival better than Matou Kariya.

Just when Matou Kariya was trying to find the basement of the Matou family, which was also the entrance to the old monster's magician's workshop, something strange happened.

Matou Kariya stepped on an open space somewhere in the ruins. Suddenly, a large amount of black liquid emerged from every corner of the ruins, binding Matou Kariya tightly in place, making him unable to move.

Chapter 94: Summoning Heroic Spirits Part

Matou Kariya, who was restrained by the black liquid which was obviously not a good thing, was struggling desperately at this moment.

He did not shout out because he knew that as the house of a wealthy family in the past, the Matou residence had few neighbors around it.

So even if he shouted for help, no one would come to rescue him, and it would just be a waste of his energy, which would not be worth it.

This must be the work of the old monster’s magic!

Matou Kariya already had the answer in his heart. He regretted his decision to return to the Matou family because of his sentimentality. If he could be given another chance to choose...

"As expected, my own offspring is more suitable, hehehe..."

Matou Kariya heard the voice of the person he hated most in the world, his "father" Matou Zouken.
