Chapter 113

……

The morning passed in the blink of an eye, and Yukinoshita Yukino received twenty-seven phone calls.

Even her elementary school classmates had called her.

There were also advertising agencies and entertainment companies asking if she had any intention of debuting; on a global scale, her popularity had likely become top-tier in an instant, reaching the point of being a household name.

Compared to her, any Hollywood superstar paled in comparison.

She silently went to the washroom and cupped clear water in her hands, gently splashing it on her face.

Looking at her cold, clear reflection in the mirror, nothing had changed, yet it felt as if everything had.

Not long after, upon arriving at school, she felt this even more clearly.

"Hey, hey, isn't that Yukinoshita Yukino?"

"It's truly unbelievable; I actually get to be in the same school as such a hot topic."

"So cool, the woman who formed a friendship with King Arthur."

Many students and teachers were stealing glances at her, discussing her.

Countless gazes focused on her, some filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, others with admiration.

It was as if the moment Yukino walked onto campus, everything else paled, and she became the center of attention.

"Yukinoshita-san, good morning!"

Walking into the classroom, the cute girl with the dango hairstyle, Yuigahama Yui, smiled and took the initiative to greet her.

"Hello~."

Yukino nodded silently and sat in her seat amidst the whispering of the crowd.

Everything had changed...

The enthusiasm of her classmates made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

She picked up her textbook, wanting to immerse herself in the world of the book, but her focus was hard to maintain; she was quickly drawn in by everyone's discussions and quietly pricked up her ears to listen.

"How come I never noticed Yukinoshita-san was so pretty before...?"

"Tch, kid, stop talking nonsense; when she was being isolated back then, I didn't see you helping."

"... I couldn't help it either; I couldn't just go up and talk to her and then get isolated together, right?"

"Speaking of which, have you guys seen the latest trending topic online?"

"What is it?"

"It's that topic about what Luo-kun's hidden trump card is."

"... So it's that! Now that you mention it, I'm interested."

Talking about the grand and massive Fifth Holy Grail War, the boys became excited one after another.

Who doesn't like a debate thread?

"I seriously suspect this trump card is related to the Four Palace family's ancestral gem magecraft; maybe it's some kind of Millennium Item, but using it causes the body to collapse from overload, which is why Luo-kun doesn't dare use it."

"That makes sense, but I feel it's more likely related to the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception; having eyes that can kill gods, maybe there's an even deeper mystery."

"Why are you guys just spouting nonsense? It must be related to his status as one of the Three Founding Families!"

"As one of the families that founded the Holy Grail War and the current head of the Four Palace family, maybe he can tap into the ley lines beneath Fuyuki City to launch a desperate strike!"

"... Yours is even more outrageous, alright!"

"There's a new keyword in the recent debate threads called 【The Three European Shines】, talking about the three strongest Servants of this Holy Grail War."

"Who are they?"

"Hercules, the demigod Lancer, and the Knight King Saber..."

"I have no opinion on the first two, but Artoria's strength is a bit weak."

"No problem at all; as long as the Knight King can release her Noble Phantasm Excalibur, she can instantly kill Rider, Caster, and Kojiro. With Luo-kun able to provide mana to Yukino, two Excaliburs a day is no problem."

"But the King of Knights has already been NTR'd by Medea..."

Creak~.

Yukino clenched her fists, frowning.

Can you even speak?

What do you mean by being taken away? This sounds as if she herself had been cheated on.

"Right!"

Suddenly, the otaku Zaimokuza Yoshiteru became excited and slapped the table, "You guys say that since Yukinoshita-san, Uncle Kogoro, and that scumbag Aki Tomoya exist in reality... then does Luo-kun exist too?"

"He should exist, right?"

Someone scratched their head.

Since most Masters exist in reality, then Luo Shu must also exist in reality.

Although there is no news about him right now.

"The question you're asking has already been discussed by people online, and now they've started fighting over it..."

"Ah, why are they still fighting?"

"It's nothing more than netizens speculating that the real Luo-kun is also a powerful mage."

"Then another group of netizens is unconvinced and throws out all sorts of arguments; the two sides are arguing so intensely, the momentum is boiling and shaking the heavens."

"What has it developed into now?"

"Let me see... holy crap, the real Luo-kun has been doxxed; there's a video circulating on Takp, and it already has twenty million likes, more shares than likes, and the comments have exploded."

"What's the content? Let me see!"

The classroom was in an uproar, and many students curiously gathered around.

And then...

Silence.

Everyone was stunned, looking at the scene in the video with shocked eyes.

In a park, a youth of about twenty years old smiled as if touched by the wind; his features were handsome, his figure tall, and he was dressed in a moon-white feathered robe.

The cuffs and collar of the feathered robe were embroidered with exquisite phoenixes in gold thread, as if they were about to spread their wings and fly.

He wore long, fingerless black gloves that extended to his forearms, and two silk ribbons inscribed with ink-colored seal script hung down from his shoulders.

Extremely rich in texture.

In the breeze, the scripture ribbons hanging from his shoulders fluttered, and the seal script of unknown meaning moved with them, as if they had come to life.

He appeared graceful, profound, mysterious, and luxurious.

It seemed there really was something different about him compared to ordinary people.

Many tourists surrounded him, and a girl wearing idol clothing tentatively asked.

"Master, I am this year..."

"Fifteen years and four months old."

"My profession is..."

"Idol trainee."

"Training duration?"

"Two and a half years."

The girl was stunned, her eyes shining with brilliance, and the fortune tellers around were also dumbfounded.

The video had played less than 1/10th of the way through.

Afterwards, in the surprised eyes of the students, even the Yukinoshita-san they were familiar with appeared; Yukino's sister Haruno's attitude went from questioning to convinced in less than two minutes, and Yukino was even gifted a gem necklace for protection.

Miraculous!

The video ended there.

In the classroom, the students looked at each other, all feeling a bit unbelievable.

Handsome, tall, luxurious robe, and his whole temperament was full of mystery.

Not to mention being handsome, he could also predict the fate of others.

"If this isn't a mage, who would believe it?"

A student muttered to himself.

Yukino couldn't help but smile; he was, of course, the most special one.

……

Time passed.

Soon it was after school.
