The Holy Grail and Tokyo

Chapter 1 Lin Qingsu

"Today's lesson will discuss the Holy Grail War that took place in Tokyo, a city in the Far East."

The sky in Britain changes suddenly. It was sunny just now, but in the blink of an eye it started to rain heavily.

The students were not in high spirits in this kind of weather.

Even though the teacher at the podium was Waver Velvet, ranked first among the "Clock Tower's Most Popular Lecturers," most people were drowsy.

"The Holy Grail War?"

The Holy Grail War is a battle for the Holy Grail, which can grant the holder's wish.

Since the great Holy Grail War that occurred in North America in 1861, large-scale Holy Grail Wars have begun to appear around the world at a rate of one every few years.

However, it has always been in a lukewarm state. The Holy Grail is too small and the wishes that can be fulfilled are also pitifully low-level. For orthodox magicians like them who have broken away from material pursuits, only some students of non-orthodox bloodlines in the Clock Tower will participate when they encounter them by chance, in order to pursue materials to satisfy their magic research.

Everything changed after the two Holy Grail Wars in Tokyo and Fuyuki in 1991 and 1994 respectively.

"The Holy Grail War in Tokyo took place in 1991."

"This was quite different from the previous contestants, who were all ordinary, unknown Heroic Spirits. The Heroic Spirits in that Holy Grail War were still one of the most magnificent lineups to date."

"Arash, the great hero of ancient Persia."

"Brynhildr, the Valkyrie from Norse mythology."

"Osmandis, the Egyptian Pharaoh."

"Paracelsus von Hohenheim, master of the five elements and mentor of modern magicians."

"And the victor who isn't really a victor, Arthur Pendragon, the knight king of British legend."

"These Heroic Spirits are the pinnacle of Heroic Spirits, possessing a power that even humans and even magi cannot rival."

In previous Holy Grail Wars, even orthodox magicians who established magic workshops and engaged in fortress warfare were unable to defeat the low-level Heroic Spirits summoned by inferior Holy Grails.

This is also one of the reasons why the Holy Grail War was not taken seriously before.

However, since those two horrific Holy Grail Wars, the disastrous defeat of the two high-ranking magicians of the Clock Tower and the shocking discoveries made in the subsequent investigations, the term "Holy Grail War" has truly spread throughout the magic world.

"Even the Clock Tower's color magician, Nigel Seyward, died tragically in that Holy Grail War."

The students in the classroom gasped.

The crown position, the color position, the standard position, the sacrificial position, the opening position, the eldest son, and the youngest son.

Among them, the color rank is the rank of magician second only to the crown rank.

Even in the Clock Tower that gathers the world's elite magicians, he is the top of the top. The heads of magic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years and the monarchs of the Clock Tower are all at this level. It is a height that 99% of ordinary people like them will never be able to reach in their lifetime.

Such a person actually died in the Holy Grail War, and the word "tragic death" was used. One can imagine how cruel the Holy Grail War was.

"A fragment of Cang Yin?"

In the corner of the last row of the tiered classroom, Lin Qingsu sat there alone, supporting her face with her hand.

Should we say that he is worthy of being the most popular teacher in the Clock Tower? Even in a boring and theoretically unlearned Holy Grail class, he can still capture the students' interest with just a few words.

However, as a time traveler, he knew more than the other person and had no interest in the course.

Ai Aotian killed everyone for love, but in the end the scumbag Jiu Jian stabbed him in the back.

The famous Holy Grail War, which has been discussed in the magic world for more than ten years, is such a nonsensical family ethics drama.

"I wonder what Mary is making for dinner tonight."

Lin Qingsu, a Chinese student who came to Hogwarts, ah, an international student who came to the Clock Tower.

There are not many Chinese students studying in the Clock Tower, but there are very few of them.

He is the only one in the entire clock tower.

He has no bloodline of an ancient magic family, and he is not a relative or friend of any big boss.

Instead, he was an orphan.

When I was very young, I was thrown into the trash can in the alley by my biological parents. I don’t know what that woman was thinking, but she chose to throw it there on rainy days. There was no one on the street, let alone anyone entering the alley full of stinking smell.

If his adoptive mother had not happened to pass by, he would have challenged his limits and won the record of "the fastest deadly traveler".

"pity."

Regardless of the fact that he had missed the record, his low-level magic circuits and lack of background made him completely unfit for admission to the Clock Tower.

However, his adoptive mother, who couldn't do any magic, somehow managed to stuff him, a Muggle like him, into the clock tower.

When he grew up, he gradually showed his potential and became the same person as his adoptive mother Mary, who was good-looking and smart but had no other advantages. Such a life was a cruel starting point.

But even the most tragic life has its bright spots.

The good news is that the adoptive mother is rich, beautiful and single, but the bad news is that the adoptive mother is too beautiful.

Lin Qingsu, who has poor magic circuits, no luck like Weber Velvet (classmates in the Clock Tower often called it shit luck in private in the past few years), no golden fingers, and has nothing good except being handsome and smart, now dreams of marrying a Muggle woman as beautiful as his adoptive mother and then retiring from the magic world.

"That day, the entire magic world was set back thirty years."

This kind of thing is a dream.

As an aside, many students now also think that it was shit luck, but no one dares to say that anymore.

[The host has been detected to be over sixteen years old, and the life simulation system has been activated! ]

Lin Qingsu paused slightly from tapping her cheek with her fingers, and fell into deep thought as she looked at the virtual interface that suddenly appeared in front of her.

Does the cheat code now have a mechanism to prevent minors from becoming addicted?

[Extracting a Heroic Spirit template that matches the host. ]

Gilgamesh...

The Hero King, the King's Treasure and I are killing people indiscriminately. The King's Treasure is responsible for the killing, and I am responsible for the killing.

【Match degree is 0%, fusion failed.】

Well, when I think about it carefully, how can a quiet and beautiful boy like me be a match for that guy who is in the late stage of middle school syndrome and is hopeless? If we meet, I guess both of us will want to kill each other.

Sherlock Holmes...

Richard I…

【...】

Lin Qingsu watched as pieces of data flowed past her.

From the initial anticipation to the final numbness.

His eyes ached from watching, but there was still no heroic spirit whose compatibility reached even 50% or more. Lin Qingsu had already begun to think about what would happen if there was no matching template.

【Arthur Pendragon → 99.99%】

[Extraction completed, fusion of the "Arthur Pendragon (Mutation)" template, now starting life simulation.]

[Enter the dungeon: Fragments of Blue Silver.]

Before Lin Qingsu could react, her brain suddenly sank, and a strong sense of sleepiness came over her. She fell down on the table and fell asleep.

Chapter 2: Sajo Aika's Wish

You, Arthur Pendragon, accepted the summons as Saber and participated in the Holy Grail War in Tokyo.

[Your Master is a girl named Sajo Aika.]

[The girl is as cute and innocent as a fairy, with a light-clear gaze and hair so soft that light can easily pass through it.]

[She looks at you with an expression that you can understand but cannot comprehend.]

[That is love, but it is a love so strong that even you, who are regarded as Prince Charming by countless girls and ladies, have never seen it before.]

Looking at her, you think of Guinevere, and also of the young Morgan Kai once described. She seems like a combination of the two, making you feel nostalgic.

From the moment you laid eyes on her, you fell in love with this pure girl, pure admiration. But as the Master of this Holy Grail War, you preferred her father, the head of the Sajo family, to be your Master. You didn't want such an innocent and pure girl to be stained by the filth of battle, but it was ultimately just a wish.

[After a brief introduction, as it was late at night, she said her goodbyes and went back to rest, while you were called to a private room by her father.]

[Sajō Hiroki, this is the name of your Master's father. He is not like those crazy magi, as you expected, who are determined to pursue the so-called "root".]

【He just asks you to protect his daughter, Sajo Aika.】

"I was supposed to be the Master of this Holy Grail War, but I never expected that the Holy Grail would choose my daughter."

"I'm sorry to them, and to their mother. In preparation for this day, and for the legacy of the Sajo family, I've never fulfilled the responsibilities a father should have."

"But I don't want her to die for my dream."

"Noble Knight King, I beg you to protect her and let her live. If possible, please teach her the ways of life on behalf of this unworthy father like me."

[Looking at him, you seem to see your past self and think of Mordred.]

【You agreed to his request, in the name of the knight.】

January 1991, 1, Tokyo

6:45 AM

The treetops in the garden were covered in snow, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of the dining table, they could see silver.

Lin Qingsu sipped the sweet tea to digest after the meal.

The effect of the simulation was unexpected. It was not just a simple description in words but an immersive feeling like a dream. It was as if I had become the Knight King. There seemed to be vague memories of him in my mind. He was him.

"Saber, let me tell you something."

Lin Qingsu looked over and saw the blonde girl at the opposite table speaking softly in a gentle tone, as if she were his wife.

"I was wondering last night what I was going to do?"

"It finally occurred to me this morning while I was cooking. It's just like cooking."

The blonde girl had a childlike innocent and joyful smile.

"It's like stewing beef. If you use the normal method, it takes a very long time, but if you use a pressure cooker, it can be done very quickly. The same principle applies to blenders and the like. No matter what, it's actually very simple as long as you find the right method."

"I think the same is true for the Holy Grail War."

"Because each Servant is very powerful, while their "Master" is very weak, attacking the Master is more efficient. And if they have weaknesses, then targeting them will be more effective..."

The blonde princess had a smile that could move anyone, her eyes were pure, and her tone was bright, like the sound of a clear spring.

The morning light refracted through the white snow and shone on her profile, dazzling and beautiful.
