I'm really not a top magician

"I just passed by the temple and happened to meet Aika Sajo. She hypnotized me silently and gave me a vision: Aika Sajo summoned the Heroic Spirit and pulled out the Sword in the Stone. Aika Sajo named this magic - Mirror Flower and Water Moon."

The student described in detail what had just happened, but with a little exaggeration in it to highlight how awesome Aika Sajo was.

The students also came up with the name of the magic trick, Mirror Flower and Water Moon, based on a recent comic.

Such a domineering name is worthy of Sajo Aika's magic!

"Fuck!"

"What kind of magic is this? It's so powerful!"

"It's complete hypnosis! How can we break such an unsolvable magic trick?"

"Also, the most amazing thing about this Mirror Flower Water Moon is that you have no idea whether you've been hypnotized or not. In other words, when did you develop the illusion that you weren't hypnotized?"

The students present were all top students of the Clock Tower, so of course they could understand how perverted Aika Sajo's magic was.

Can hypnotize the enemy silently.

In other words,

From then on, the enemy will be at the mercy of Aika Sajo!

Aika Sajou is so powerful that she can invent such a powerful magic!

Everyone was excited after hearing such a great magic trick.

Then dispersed,

Suddenly, rumors about Sha Tiao Ai Ge began to spread throughout the entire cathedral area!

Chapter 117 The monarchs’ panic!

Suddenly, rumors about Sha Tiao Ai Ge began to spread throughout the entire cathedral area!

"Have you heard? Sajo Aika created a brand new magic trick."

"What magic?"

"Mirror flowers and water moons, completely hypnotic!"

"Fuck, Sajo Aika is so strong, she's worthy of being the best in our Clock Tower."

"Indeed, only Sajo Aika could develop such a powerful magic!"

"But if you ask me, the illusion created by Sajo Aika also has a deep meaning!"

"Deep meaning? What deep meaning?"

"Is there even any need for further elaboration? Summoning Heroic Spirits and pulling out the Excalibur—isn't this proof that Sajo Aika not only wants to win the Kingsmoot, but also the Holy Grail War that follows?"

"That's it! That's it!"

"Sajo Aika is so terrifying!"

For a while, students kept sending news back to the Clock Tower.

"Shocking news! Shocking news! Just now, Sajo Aika announced that she will unleash the Sword in the Stone and become the King of Britannia in this era. She has also summoned Heroic Spirits to participate in the Holy Grail War, proving to the world that she has truly emerged!"

"What? You're asking me where I heard that? Didn't I tell you everything? Didn't Sajo Aika say it herself?"

"Just now, El-Melloi said it himself. The Clock Tower's youngest Grand Master Magician, Aika Sajo, has summoned a Heroic Spirit with the Excalibur, and it has been confirmed that they will participate in the Holy Grail War!"

"What? The heroic spirit who can pull out the sword from the stone is the legendary knight king, King Arthur!"

"Oh my God!!! Sajo Aika has already found King Arthur. Even King Arthur recognizes Sajo Aika's identity. How could she not be able to pull out the sword from the stone?"

"What? Aigo has already pulled out the sword from the stone. I knew it! No wonder Lorelai likes Aigo, and no wonder Baoshi Weng wants to accept Aigo as his disciple. It turns out Aigo is the modern-day King Arthur!"

"You won't believe what I'm saying, but actually, Aika Sajo isn't King Arthur. She's the King of the World!"

Rumors spread everywhere.

The entire clock tower was in a frenzy on this day.

At the same time, the monarchs of the Clock Tower also heard the news.

"The King of Britain?"

Lord Baru Yereta was extremely shocked.

"King of Britain is a bit of an exaggeration, but since Aigo Sakaki received the approval of the Fairy of the Lake and obtained the legendary holy sword, I can conclude that Aigo Sakaki can definitely pull out the Sword in the Stone."

Another monarch said.

"Is this news reliable?" asked Baruyeleta.

"What else is reliable or unreliable? Think about it yourself. Why did Jewel Master accept Sajo Aika as his disciple? She is not only the current crowned magician of the Clock Tower, but in the future she could not only become the King of Great Britain, but she might even become the King of the World."

"What worries me most is our past actions. After all, we've secretly plotted against Aigo Satiao. Furthermore, Lord Barthelmero is very close to Aigo Satiao. He even allowed the underage Lorelei to inherit the throne directly to win Aigo Satiao over. Aigo Satiao's connections to both the El-Melloi and Barthelmero schools are already obvious. If things turn out as the rumors say, and Aigo Satiao pursues us later, we'll be in real danger."

The monarch said with a serious face.

The monarch is the most powerful person in the Clock Tower. Having been in this position for so many years, he is no longer the young man who was at a loss in the past. However, when it comes to dealing with Aika Satiao, this experienced monarch can't help but look worried.

Because before, although Sajo Aika was a Grand Master Magician recognized by the Clock Tower, she was just a Grand Master. And the previous Grand Master Magician, Aozaki Touko, was also designated as a [Seal Designated] by them and fled the world.

But this Sajo Aika is not just an ordinary crown magician, she is now about to inherit the legend of King Arthur and become the King of Great Britain.

If I were to plot against Aika Sajo at this time, I would not only be assassinating one person, but I would also be offending all British magicians.

This is also why the monarch is worried.

If Aika Sajo were to pursue the matter, there would be no way he could escape.

Lord Baru Yereta ignored the anxiety of the other monarchs, but pondered for a long time before slowly saying:

"The Democratic camp cannot afford any more losses. Prepare your successor."

After Lord Baru Yereta finished speaking, he stood up and left the scene.

After Lord Baru Yereta left, the other two monarchs at the scene looked at each other awkwardly.

The meaning of Lord Baru Yereta is very clear.

If the democratic camp cannot suffer losses, then the greatest concessions should be made to Sajo Aika. If Sajo Aika pursues the matter, the current monarch should be pushed forward to bear Sajo Aika's wrath.

Only in this way can the democratic camp be preserved.

The two monarchs had cold sweat on their foreheads. They knew very well that the method of Monarch Baru Yereta was the best one, which was to sacrifice the rook to save the king, but they were afraid of death.

However, the two monarchs still began to prepare for the future heir together.

Now, they can only pray that Aika Sajou will not pursue this matter further.

At the same time, somewhere in the clock tower.

Several students secretly left and used a photocopier to pass on a piece of information.

"Sajo Aika has been confirmed to be participating in the Holy Grail War. She is powerful and in the position of the Grand Master. She is able to summon a Servant. Preliminary conclusion is that her Servant is Saber. Please be careful, Master of the Einzbern family!"

Chapter 118 Emiya Kiritsugu

Among the three great families that founded the Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family undoubtedly has the longest history.

They sealed themselves off deep within the frozen mountains, stubbornly severing all contact with the outside world, and thus began a millennium-long search for the Holy Grail. But their quest was fraught with frustration, humiliation, and painful strategies, which ultimately proved fruitless.

Until two and a half years ago, the stubborn Einzbern family finally began to despair of pursuing the Holy Grail alone, and two hundred years ago they were forced to establish cooperation agreements with external magic families such as the Tōsaka family and the Matou family.

Thus, Fuyuki's Holy Grail War began.

In the Holy Grail War that followed, the Master's combat power always lagged behind others, so he never won a final victory. So nine years ago, he had no choice but to introduce a magician who was good at combat from outside.

This magus's name is Emiya Kiritsugu.

It can be said that Emiya Kiritsugu was the last trump card played by the Einzbern family, which has always been proud of its pure blood. For this reason, they did not hesitate to change their family's creed for the second time.

The Einzbern family,

Emiya Kiritsugu and Irisviel returned to their rooms.

He opened the long cabinet entrusted by the patriarch and was instantly attracted by the things inside.

“I didn’t expect that I would actually find this thing.”

Even Emiya Kiritsugu, who was usually very calm as a killer, was surprised at this moment.

It's the scabbard.

Made of gold and decorated with dazzling blue enamel, this luxurious equipment is not so much a weapon as a treasure that shows the majesty of a nobleman like a crown and a wand. The engraving carved in the middle is a long-lost fairy script, proving that the scabbard is a work of art made by inhuman hands.

"Why is there no flaw at all? Could this really be an unearthed artifact from an era fifteen hundred years ago?" Emiya Kiritsugu's wife Irisviel was quite curious.

Emiya Kiritsugu smiled and replied, "This is merely a conceptual treasure. As a physical object, it will naturally deteriorate. Not to mention being a medium for summoning holy relics. This is a treasure from the realm of magic."

Irisviel nodded, then respectfully took the golden scabbard out of the box and held it in her hand.

"Legend has it that this scabbard can heal the holder's wounds simply by wearing it; it can also stop aging. Of course, the premise is that its original owner provides magic power." Irisviel recalled the power of this legendary scabbard in her mind.

"In other words, if the summoned Heroic Spirit uses it, this thing itself can also be used as the Master's Noble Phantasm." Emiya Kiritsugu said.

Kiritsugu was fascinated by the scabbard's unique design and extraordinary beauty. After a short while, his mind immediately switched to the pragmatic direction of using it as a tool.

Irisviel looked at Kiritsugu and gave a helpless wry smile.

If that's the case, then all Servants are actually the same.

No matter how famous a hero is, once summoned as a Servant, he is just a tool to the Master. Those who harbor unrealistic fantasies about this will never win in this battle.

When he revealed his side not as a father and husband, but as a warrior, Emiya Kiritsugu's profile became extremely cold. In the past, before she understood her husband's heart, Irisviel was very afraid of seeing Kiritsugu like that.

“Only someone like you is worthy of this scabbard. That’s my grandfather’s judgment,” Irisviel said.

"Is that really the case?" Emiya Kiritsugu showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

If old man Ahad knew that this was how his grandson-in-law and adopted son, Emiya Kiritsugu, reacted to the holy relic that he had gone to great lengths to obtain, he would surely be so angry that he would be speechless.

"Are you dissatisfied with Grandpa's gift?"

Irisviel had no intention of accusing Kiritsugu of rudeness, but simply asked this question as if she found it a bit amusing.

"How could that be possible? He's already done enough for us. No other Master could possibly possess such a trump card. With such a perfect Holy Relic, the Heroic Spirit he summoned would surely be the one we desire. However, the contrast between his personality and my own as a Master is simply too great. Originally, regarding Servant summoning, the nature of the summoned Heroic Spirit is largely determined by the Master's psychic temperament. Unless it's a specific Heroic Spirit, in principle, the summoned Heroic Spirit will be similar to the summoner's psychic temperament. However, the connection with the Holy Relic is a primary factor in selection; the more certain the Holy Relic's origin, the more likely the Heroic Spirit that appears will be targeted to a specific individual."

There seemed to be a hint of uneasiness in Emiya Kiritsugu's tone, but his wife, Irisviel, noticed this subtle change.

“So you’re feeling uneasy about your contract with the Knight King, right?” Irisviel asked.

"Of course. There aren't many men like me who stray from the code of chivalry. Open and honest combat isn't my style, especially in a life-or-death struggle. If I attack, I should attack from behind or while the enemy is asleep, choosing the right time and place for the most efficient destruction. Do you think that noble knight would accompany me in such a fight?"

Irisviel fell silent, staring carefully at the shiny scabbard.

Indeed, Kiritsugu is such a warrior. He will do whatever it takes to win. There is no need to try. He and the character of the original owner of this scabbard are absolutely incompatible.

“But don’t you think it’s a bit of a pity? As the owner of the Sword of Promised Victory, she is undoubtedly the most powerful ace in the Saber class.” Irisviel asked.

"Indeed. Only this gleaming scabbard is worthy of that supreme sword. This must be a relic of the legendary Knight King Arthur, passed down from the ancient Middle Ages. Indeed, Saber is the highest of the seven classes summoned by the Holy Grail. And if this Knight King takes this position, I will have an invincible Servant. But the key is how to effectively use this supreme combat power. To be honest, if it is simply about ease of control, Caster and Assassin are more suitable for my personality."

Emiya Kiritsugu expressed his concerns.

suddenly,

Amidst the extremely classical and old castle-style interior decoration, a thin electronic sound interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Ah, we're finally here." Emiya Kiritsugu said.

Placing a laptop casually on a heavy ebony workstation is like placing a sewing machine on an operating table.

Magical families with a long history have never discovered the convenience of science and technology, and the Einzbern family is no exception.

This small electronic device, which seemed strange to Irisviel, was a personal item Kiritsugu had brought into the city.

It was rare to find a magus who had no aversion to using this kind of machinery, and Kiritsugu was one of them. When he requested that telephone lines and generators be installed in the city, the old patriarch was dealt a heavy blow.

“So, what exactly is that?” Irisviel asked.

"This is a report from the guy who infiltrated the London Clock Tower. I asked him to investigate the Masters participating in this Holy Grail War. Especially Sajo Aika." Emiya Kiritsugu replied.

Sajo Aika? Irisviel had often heard her husband Kiritsugu mention this name before. It seemed like she was a very difficult opponent in this Holy Grail War.

Emiya Kiritsugu sat down in front of the machine and began to operate the keyboard with practiced hands. A new email appeared on the LCD screen. It was a new technology called the Internet that had recently begun to spread in the city.

Irisviel had heard Kiritsugu explain the instructions for using this many times, but she hadn't been able to understand even a fraction of her husband's explanations.

As a man-made being created in this ancient castle since childhood, Irisviel, as a magician, seems to have difficulty understanding or even integrating into the technological development of the outside world.

"There are only five people who have figured it out now."

Emiya Kiritsugu flipped through the information scrolling on the display screen.
