Chapter 67: Who plays Magic as a real Caster?

~7 min read 1,292 words

"Hey, you, what do you think you're doing?"

Black Saber slapped the rude person carrying her with force, struggling with all her might.

Could this bastard be planning to do that kind of thing to her?

As an Altered Servant polluted by black mud, Black Saber never disdained to speculate on human hearts in the most evil direction.

Especially this Arthur from some unknown World Line.

"What could I possibly be planning to do?"

Su Nian said with a rather amused tone, though his movements did not stop; after all, even though the people here had been dispersed.

This was still a residential area, on the main street; if he had really let Artoria fire off a light cannon just now, he didn't know how many people here would have been hurt.

"That would naturally be to properly teach an unruly little fan a lesson."

Su Nian said with a smile.

Aika was also interestingly following by Su Nian's side; she was very curious about what exactly Su Nian intended to do, and she believed this would certainly be very entertaining.

After all, isn't this also part of a date? Fighting side by side with the prince, is there anything sweeter than this in the world?

As for Irisviel, out of concern for Artoria, she hesitated for a moment before following directly behind.

Fuyuki City, at an abandoned pier warehouse with few people around.

Su Nian clapped his hands and, with zero Knightly grace, dumped Black Saber, whom he had been carrying on his shoulder, onto the ground.

This drew a glare from Black Saber.

"You guy, you have the nerve to call yourself a Knight; you have no Knightly grace at all."

After all, no one would think that someone who carries a person over without a word and then drops them straight onto the ground has Knightly grace.

Black Saber patted the dust off her body and pointed the Invisible Air, wrapped in the Wind King Barrier, at Su Nian.

"So, Richard, have you not felt it yet? This clear yet violent fighting spirit."

Su Nian gently patted Black Saber's shoulder, pressing down the sword in her hand.

Truth be told, among all the Artorias, he still felt this Black Saber was more interesting.

As he spoke, Su Nian looked up at the purple figure standing on the dragon gate holding a red long spear.

"I didn't expect the Lancer appearing in this Holy Grail War to really be you, Master?"

Su Nian said with some surprise, though to be honest, it wasn't all that surprising.

After all, there were only a few existences that could make Merlin unable to determine their identity.

"Master?"

Scathach tilted her head in confusion, and the next moment, she jumped down from the dragon gate to look Su Nian over carefully.

"I don't recall ever teaching you?"

Scathach recalled; although she had lived long enough, and her memories had dissipated quite a bit with the passage of time.

But if she had truly taught Su Nian, it should have left a rather deep impression.

"Someone who looks as beautiful and has a physique as powerful as yours—if I had taught you, it would certainly have left a very deep memory."

After all, with such a physique, as long as one's martial arts were up to par, it wouldn't be difficult to have the strength to kill her under her tutelage.

"Master truly hasn't taught me, but there is quite a bit of fate between us."

The Halloween Queen's head maid, butler, servant, chief Knight, and guardian was Scathach.

When he had finished playing in this world and returned, he would certainly have to deal with the Halloween Queen and Scathach, so why not get to know her in advance now?

Moreover, the Arthurian Legend seemed to be an important component of Celtic Mythology.

"That is indeed true; if I were still on the reverse side of the world, I fear I would be very happy to take you as my disciple."

Scathach did not deny the fate between her and Su Nian; she was, after all, the most famous hero mentor in Celtic Mythology, and seeing a talent worth molding naturally made her heart stir.

And at this moment, Su Nian was an unpolished raw stone in front of her.

No, that couldn't be said; to be precise, he was a piece of fine jade in the rough.

"Who was your previous teacher? Your foundation is built quite well."

"And, since you have called me Master, I naturally must take on the responsibilities of a teacher."

Scathach licked her lips and said; it had been a long time since she had... educated a student, and she was interested now.

If that evil being didn't show its face, polishing this raw stone into a piece of fine jade wouldn't be bad either.

"Let's forget about that; I don't have much interest in being a warrior."

A proper Mage, who would be bored enough to play melee? He wasn't Merlin, who would bite his tongue while chanting a spell.

"Actually, I descended with the Caster class."

"Huh??"

Artoria was stunned; you have this kind of power and call yourself a Caster?

Are you kidding me!

Let alone Artoria, even Irisviel and Scathach looked at Su Nian with some surprise.

Wasn't it said that the Caster attribute was the weakest? But you held down a Saber with one hand; you call this a Caster?

"What, you don't believe me?"

Su Nian looked at this group who had not a shred of trust in him and shook his head helplessly.

A real Caster, who plays Magic?

Uruk's Axe King, Israel's Boxing King, and Britain's Sword Saint, have you heard of them?

These are all Grand Casters, the benchmarks of the Caster world.

"Then what is this Star Holy Sword of yours?"

"A staff, obviously?"

"What about this suit of armor?"

"It's a mage robe. As a Mage, I'm afraid of being approached, so I made my staff into a Holy Sword and my robe into armor. That's fine, right?"

Su Nian spread his hands and said very casually.

"Then that means you knew from the very beginning that we are also King Arthur?"

Saber logged on to question Su Nian; then what was that long string of words he just said about being her fan?

Was he just playing with her?

"Hmm."

Su Nian nodded subconsciously, then quickly realized he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

"Not at all, how could a girl possibly become a king."

But at this moment, Artoria had no intention of listening to Su Nian's explanation, and she swung the Sword of Promised Victory to hack at him.

Then she was easily captured by Su Nian again; after all, the gap in physical fitness was still too great.

"So, wouldn't it be better to just be my fan in peace?"

Su Nian shook his head helplessly, if one ignored the smile on his face.

In fact, he had been eyeing Saber for a long time.

Although he could switch accounts by changing different Planeswalker Cards, and could even use Planeswalker Cards to resurrect.

But there was one thing he could not do, which was that there was only one of him; it was impossible to appear in two places at once.

However, given the Halloween Queen's temperament and intelligence, she would surely be able to see that he would not commit Betrayal against Shiroyasha, nor would he hide anything from Shiroyasha.

So she would definitely look for fun elsewhere, for instance, there was no guarantee when she might create a situation where his two identities appeared together.

Therefore, it was better to prepare a double just in case.
