Chapter 456

FSN World

Train stations are always bustling, and the world of mages is no exception. In front of a parked train, four figures stood silently, neither boarding nor leaving.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Teacher."

Among the four, a young man with glasses and dyed yellow hair said politely.

Caules Forvedge, the next heir of the Forvedge family. Unlike the Caules of the FA world, the Caules of the FSN world had a relatively peaceful life; his sister gave up her identity as a mage, and he also came to the El-Melloi Classroom to study.

Hearing Caules' words, the younger figure among the other three spoke up.

"It's nothing, Caules. This is just the duty of a teacher. You just need to pay attention to your safety on the train."

"Yes, Teacher Velvet." Caules said respectfully. He was very confident in his teacher, after all...

Caules looked at the two figures beside the man named Velvet.

These two figures—one looked exactly like Waver Velvet, just with a few more wrinkles on his face, and the other was a sturdy man wearing clothes printed with the words "Great Strategy."

The students of the Zhong Ta's El-Melloi Classroom all knew that these two existences were precisely Waver Velvet's two Servants,

Zhuge Liang/Lord El-Melloi II, and Alexander the Great, Iskandar!

This trio was precisely the star combination of the Zhong Ta right now! They were rated as the most untouchable existences in the Zhong Ta!

"Teacher Velvet, have you arrived already? You're really early."

On the other side, a black-haired woman wearing a kimono also walked over.

Hearing this voice, before Velvet could speak, Lord El-Melloi II on the side frowned slightly.

"Hishiri Adashino, why are you here too?"

Looking at Lord El-Melloi II's cold expression, Hishiri Adashino wore a gentle, familiar look and said,

"Mr. El-Melloi II is always like this. I really don't know what kind of impression I left on you in your world."

Hishiri Adashino was also very helpless. From the first time she met this El-Melloi II, he had always kept her at a distance.

Ten years ago, when Kayneth returned with Waver from that place called Fuyuki City, the entire Zhong Ta was stirred up.

Three Servants! To put it bluntly, every Servant possessed the ability to destroy a mage family! Especially since these three Servants were all powerful existences!

So, at that time, in order to curb this power, the Zhong Ta's top brass prepared to forcibly make Waver break the contracts with the two Servants, otherwise they would carry out a Sealing Designation. As for Kayneth, they chose to ignore him; after all, Kayneth was also one of the Twelve Lords, so they had to give him some face.

But a problem arose here: Waver refused them. Several Lords at the time were ready to act directly. Don't look at how strong Iskandar was; the Zhong Ta wasn't just for show. If they really fought, although there would be sacrifices, they could still defeat Iskandar.

However, at the most critical moment, Waver's other Servant, El-Melloi II, stood out. At the negotiating table, this man debated against all the scholars, analyzing the advantages of their existence from all aspects.

Finally, Barthomeloi Lorelei personally stepped forward, and what was discussed after that wasn't something someone at her level could know. She only knew that later, Waver Velvet founded the Modern Magecraft Department and became an excellent lecturer at the Zhong Ta...

"Ah, when will the train finally leave?" On the side, Iskandar also sighed impatiently. "A despicable thief actually stole my things. This behavior is simply a provocation to me! Hahaha! It's really interesting!"

Iskandar laughed as he spoke. He had lived in this world for ten years; in ten years, he had cleared almost every game and visited every place, but such days were also very boring.

After all, El-Melloi II and Waver Velvet usually solved everything, and he felt like a useless person now. But a few days ago, someone finally stole his things, which gave Iskandar an excuse to act, so naturally, he was very excited!

Looking at the excited Iskandar, Waver also said helplessly, "Rider, don't get excited. No matter who stole my relic, with the strength of the three of us, we can get it back...! Um... except for that guy in Fuyuki City who always plays games with you."

Waver was also very confident. In the original timeline, he dared to break into the Rail Zeppelin with just Gray. Now, although Gray had been snatched away by Lin Ye first, he had El-Melloi II and Iskandar. This time, no one could stop him!

And just at this moment, another voice rang out.

"To think, is this the Velvet trio that has shaken the Zhong Ta and is known as the new Lords?"

Footsteps sounded, and another petite figure walked over.

She had long, snow-white hair, and her incomparably cute face carried a bit of arrogance. Her beautiful, bright eyes were constantly sizing up the three people before her, seemingly very curious about them.

Seeing the newcomer, Waver nodded slightly to her. "Apologies for the lack of greeting."

Seeing Waver greeting her, the newcomer then spoke up.

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Olga Marie, Olga Marie Animusphere. Please treat me well."

Olga Marie Animusphere—this name might not be known to many in the FSN world, and even if they knew it, it was just as the daughter of the Lord of Astronomy and one of the future Lords.

But in FGO, this name was known to everyone!

The second Director of Chaldea! Olga Marie!

The one killed by Lev at Singularity F, who finally returned in Chapter 2, and then died in 2.7 to help Guda—Olga Marie/UO President! (I just watched the latest 2.7, the Director is gone again, and her spirit origin is shattered. Mushroom, do you even have a heart! I hope she can be revived later.)

Of course, unlike the 23-year-old mature woman in FGO, the Olga Marie of 2004 was just a little loli around eleven or twelve years old.

Olga Marie looked at the three people before her, and even though there were two powerful Servants in front of her, she was not afraid at all.

"So, are you also here for the Mystic Eyes? But let me make it clear in advance: if you compete with our Astronomy Department, even if you are strong, I will not back down."

"This... you can rest assured, we won't compete with you, because..." Waver's tone paused here, because he really couldn't say it.

Because... they had no money!

That's right, they had no money!

Did you think it didn't cost money to support two Servants? The mana value he obtained from simulations could only support Iskandar's long-term existence. Although El-Melloi II was summoned via possession and could rely on mana replenishment to exist, the materials for mana replenishment cost money!

So, in order to keep El-Melloi II in existence, Waver embarked on the path of working while in debt...

"Sigh~" Thinking of this, Waver sighed. When would this miserable life ever end? And whenever this happened, he would think of that figure he hadn't seen in ten years.

"Lin Ye... didn't you say you wanted to start a business with me? Where are you! Where! Exactly where are you!!"

(Don't think of that when you hear mana replenishment; that's just one form of mana replenishment. There are proper ways to replenish mana.)
