Then please quickly dispatch the hounds to launch a heavy strike against that wanted criminal!

They gave translation already but we need to output English. The line: "Translation: "\"Then please quickly send out the hounds to launch a heavy assault on that wanted criminal! \"" Actually they gave translation. We'll just output that translation? But we need to output English translation of the Chinese line. The Chinese line is same as 【24】? Actually 【25】 is the translation note. Probably we should output the English translation they gave. But to avoid duplication, we can output the same as 【24】 but maybe they expect the translation they gave. Let's output: "【25】 \"Then please quickly send out the hounds to launch a heavy assault on that wanted criminal! \"" (Note: assault vs strike). We'll use assault as they gave.

"Oh dear?" Mei Lin's smile deepened, her staff lightly tapping the ground, "The deployment is somewhat unexpected; I originally thought we were going to look for the original doctor, but instead we stopped to deploy a Holy Grail War?

"Even a plush rabbit counts as a Master in the Holy Grail War? What a joke…"

Translation: "\"Even this plush rabbit counts as a Master in the Holy Grail War? What a joke…\""

In the luxurious suite of the Fuyuki City hotel, Kenneth stood before the huge floor-to-ceiling window, brows tightly knit as he gazed at the scene in the sky curtain. When the train conductor who never got off the train was chosen as the Master of the Holy Grail War, this genius magician's face instantly turned pale, and an indescribable sense of absurdity welled up from his heart.

"It isn't even a proper magician! I'm afraid this rabbit's greatest wish is just to get ready to depart and clean the carriage! What kind of demand could such an animal have for the Holy Grail? Absolutely ridiculous……"

Kenneth felt his magician's common sense being challenged like never before. In his view, to participate in the Holy Grail War, a Master's qualifications, magical power, and lineage are all indispensable.

"Tsk… Are none of the Masters in this Holy Grail War even bothering to vet themselves beforehand?"

His worthless student stealing the catalyst for his own Rider summon was already enough to make him angry, but he never expected the Holy Grail War on the sky curtain to be such a blatant trampling of the rules. A catalyst isn't needed…… Or perhaps these people simply don't know that Servant summoning requires a catalyst?

"Master, forgive my frankness, although this Pam is not a magician, after all, there isn't a single proper magician participating in the Pinokangni Holy Grail War." Lancer Di Lumudu kindly reminded.

"Furthermore, in my view, the foundation of this Holy Grail War inside seems utterly different from the magical power system we know."

"Lancer's got a point; perhaps it's the power of the Path driving it?" His fiancée Suo La glanced sideways at Di Lumudu, her face slightly flushed as she spoke.

Kenneth's face grew even darker upon hearing that.

The sky curtain had been present for so long; he indeed had some understanding of the Path's mighty power, capable of twisting the laws of reality and concepts—a power system superior to traditional magic. Rationally, he realized this might be a Holy Grail War based on different rules.

But emotionally, as a magician born of a prestigious family who considered himself noble, seeing this "sacred" Holy Grail War ritual so childishly altered in its rules, and then seeing someone as unqualified as Pam chosen as a participant, dealt a heavy blow to his sense of superiority.

"I'd like to see how this fluffy rabbit conducts the Holy Grail War, Heroic Spirit… heh, it probably doesn't even know what a Heroic Spirit is."

""Tsk, what a topsy‑turvy world! Even an animal on the Astral Express can actually qualify to compete…?""

Ge Rudy's voice sounded faintly behind Si Ke Te: "Mr. Ao Di, do you need me to handle this first?"

""No need~ Isn't it also fun to let such a competitor take part?""

After finishing his observation of these opponents before him, Ge Rudy smiled faintly: "The dance floor is set, and the characters have all taken the stage one after another. However, Master, for you and me, this Holy Grail War seems to have some potential hidden worries."

""This time the competitors are indeed not easy to deal with.""

Ge Rudy calmly shook his head: "No, what I mean is… looking at the backgrounds of these characters that have appeared, they can mainly be divided into three types: those who have a competitive relationship with your department, those who have a personal grudge against your department, and those who are mortal enemies of yours personally."

""In other words, from a narrative standpoint, every combatant we have discovered so far will target you as their primary objective right away.""
