Chapter 18: ·Luck

(Sola, Lord Ken, Diarmuid)

【Diarmuid, Knight of the Lake, Gymnastics Team, and Matou Kariya connected three groups correctly, obtaining 3 Saint Quartz.】

Fine, for these three Heroic Spirits, this question indeed held no advantage.

After all, Masters know which Servant they are going to summon, which is equivalent to knowing one extra answer, but Heroic Spirits do not know who will summon them.

But Matou Kariya is a Master of the Fourth Holy Grail War, so why did he only get three groups right?

Doesn't this mean he didn't guess a single one of the other groups correctly?

And Matou Kariya expressed his helplessness at this moment.

He had only just returned to Fuyuki, and after learning Sakura was fine, he hadn't even returned to the Matou house; he had no idea which Heroic Spirit he would summon.

Therefore, he had actually only guessed one correctly.

【Hero King, Artoria, Conqueror, Tohsaka Tokiomi, Kayneth, Mapo Priest, Tohsaka Rin, and Tohsaka Sakura connected five groups correctly, obtaining 5 Saint Quartz.】

"To think I got two pairs wrong." Tohsaka Tokiomi frowned.

Because the answers hadn't been announced yet, he didn't know where he had gone wrong.

【Waver connected six groups correctly, obtaining 6 Saint Quartz.】

Conqueror: "Oh my, little Master, you are quite impressive."

Waver: "It's alright, actually I still gambled a bit on luck."

【Mage Killer and Feng Xi connected all correctly, obtaining 7 Saint Quartz, and an additional 1 as a bonus.】

Kayneth: "All correct! How did you two manage that!"

Getting all seven groups correct is not something that can be done by gambling on luck.

Feng Xi: "Hehe, I just guessed blindly based on feeling."

What else could he say? Because he had watched the animation of the Fourth Holy Grail War, he knew the Fourth War inside out.

However, Emiya Kiritsugu did surprise him quite a bit.

He himself knew the answers, but Emiya Kiritsugu had relied entirely on his own guesses.

He didn't expect him to guess them all correctly.

Actually, Emiya Kiritsugu getting them all correct also had a component of luck.

Waver and Conqueror, the perverted duo, and the King Arthur he summoned himself—these went without saying.

Gilgamesh and Tohsaka Tokiomi—he had guessed this after discovering that after Gilgamesh changed his name, Tohsaka Tokiomi's attitude toward Gilgamesh in the group chat had changed.

As for the remaining three Heroic Spirits, besides Diarmuid whose true name he already knew, that Gymnastics Team looked like an Assassin at a glance, and the remaining armored knight was obviously a Berserker.

It was impossible for Diarmuid to be a Berserker.

Based on Emiya Kiritsugu's observation of Kayneth, he felt that given Kayneth's arrogance, he shouldn't choose the Assassin or Berserker classes, so the possibility of his Servant being Diarmuid was very high.

As for the remaining two, they were just gambled on randomly.

He always felt that Kirei Kotomine was dangerous, so he felt that the one the other party summoned should be an Assassin.

The final Berserker was naturally Matou Kariya's Servant.

At this moment, the system also announced the correct answers.

【The Servant summoned by Waver is Iskandar, Rider.】

【The Servant summoned by Tohsaka Tokiomi is Gilgamesh, Archer.】

【The Servant summoned by Mage Killer is Artoria, Saber.】

【The Servant summoned by Kayneth is Diarmuid, Lancer.】

【The Servant summoned by Matou Kariya is Knight of the Lake, Berserker.】

【The Servant summoned by Mapo Priest is Gymnastics Team, Assassin.】

【The Servant summoned by Uryuu Ryuunosuke is Bluebeard, Caster.】

【Feng Xi, because his summoning was a step late, failed to summon a Servant.】

Feng Xi had black lines all over his head.

So this is why you gave me the name "Extra Feng Xi" earlier; I really did play an extra.

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "So Kayneth didn't summon King Arthur."

Now he knew where he had gone wrong; he had swapped the Servants summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu and Kayneth.

Waver: "Oh my, to think I overthought it."

He had originally thought the video of Feng Xi failing to summon a Servant was a misdirection, so he ended up connecting the Gymnastics Team to him; who would have thought he had just overthought it.

However, this question did have one benefit, which was that they now knew the identities of the Servants summoned by the others.

Like Emiya Kiritsugu and Kayneth, they had already started thinking about whether to change Servants.

Emiya Kiritsugu had originally intended to have Irisviel disguise herself as King Arthur's Master while he hid in the shadows to launch a sneak attack, but now that he was exposed, the plan had to change.

【The first question has ended, now beginning the second question.】

Waver: "Huh? So fast! No break at all?"

Kayneth: "Hmph, do you need a break after finishing one question in an exam?"

Waver: "This..."

Kayneth was now at odds with Waver, taking every opportunity to belittle him.

【Question and answer, please watch the following video carefully, then answer according to the question.】

The video began.

【On a shipping container at the Fuyuki City pier, three people were standing, looking out at the bridge in the distance.】

【These three: on the sides were Kayneth and Waver, and the person in the middle was a tall man with long hair.】

Waver: "Huh? Who is this person?"

Kayneth: "Don't recognize him, but why do I feel he looks somewhat familiar..."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Are there still unrelated people interfering in this Holy Grail War?"

And Feng Xi already knew what this video was.

Isn't this the promotional animation for "Fate/Grand Order - Fate/Accel Zero Order"?

【The scene moved to the sky above the bridge; a purple-haired girl holding a shield fell from the sky, and countless golden Noble Phantasms shot toward her—it was Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon.】

【Subsequently, a series of explosions occurred in the scene, and then a red object was seen rushing out of the smoke.】

【It was the Knight of the Lake, and that red object was actually a fighter jet.】

【The Knight of the Lake successfully saved the girl, but Gilgamesh was in hot pursuit, piloting the Vimana.】

Kayneth: "A Heroic Spirit can actually pilot a fighter jet!"

Waver: "I feel like my worldview has been refreshed."

Hero King: "Hahaha, did you see that, mongrels? This is the power of this King!"

Regarding this chuunibyou Gilgamesh, everyone in the group was now too lazy to pay attention to him.

Mage Killer: "Another unfamiliar participant?"

Waver: "That girl should be a Servant, right?"

Tohsaka Rin: "That outfit, no matter how you look at it, she isn't an ordinary person."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Impossible, the seven Servants announced in the previous question did not include this girl."

Artoria: "That shield in the girl's hand, could it be..."

She was all too familiar with that shield, but the wielder was completely different from the person in her memory. ===== CHAPTER 20 =====
