Chapter 756

【Ashira steadied her mind and said: "You said he summoned a boundary record belt on the Magic Eye Train, and he might have read Makiri's thesis, took away the sealing technique of the Emiya family, and used the unstable cracks under Sla to sneak into Albion, then I think it is not impossible."】

【"Since he collected so much mystery and spent ten years without hesitation to give up the position of department head, it should be possible to realize it. Even if that technique should be extremely difficult, Dr. Heartless possesses the technology and ability to do it."】

【Rufleus pondered: "It is said that he obtained... an unknown ability in the fairy's hidden realm..."】

【("──Very good, you forced Ashira to admit it.")】

【("──But, what should we do next?")】

【("──Since Ashira has already been pushed to the forefront, we can guide the meeting to the next key point.")】

【Luvia: "Miss Ashira, in your eyes, what kind of relationship did Heartless and his disciple Kuro have before?"】

【"They should have been a favorite student."】

【Ashira recalled: "Among his many disciples, Kuro was also special. I don't know if he himself was aware of it, but there is no doubt that Kuro was the one who could most flexibly accept Dr. Heartless's extremely diverse magic and theories."】

【Luvia: "When you say among the disciples, do you mean among the five of you?"】

【Hearing this, a trace of nervousness flashed across Ashira's expression.】

【Luvia: "The three disciples who were killed or kidnapped this time—I think it's just that the bodies weren't found, the latter should have been killed too—you, and Kuro, the five of you, teamed up in Spirit Tomb Albion before, right?"】

【Ashira: "I did not hide this past."】

【Luvia: "It's embarrassing to say it like exposing family scandals, but you guys have been successfully smuggling from Albion since then, haven't you?"】

【Rufleus: "What? Smuggling... from Albion! What is going on... is there evidence?"】

【Luvia: "I'm sorry, it's only indirect evidence, but I checked Sla's account books."】

【After saying this, she placed the heavy copy of the account book on the round table.】

【"Although hidden in the numbers throughout the account book, Sla's income, which had been in the red for many years, improved significantly during the five years I speculate you had contact with Kuro."】

【"Ah, among the students in our department, there is a pervert who doesn't listen to the usual lectures at all, but can immediately notice such unreasonable changes in numbers."】

【"Of course, Albion was originally established because it was impossible to smuggle. However, Dr. Heartless proved that smuggling was not impossible. Right?"】

【"Because Heartless saw through the unstable cracks leading to Albion that would appear under Sla, and perfectly calculated the time and location of the cracks. So, how did Heartless obtain such means? I think it's because he had you five as his predecessors, right?"】

【"No, I'm afraid that among you, the Kuro you mentioned as Heartless's favorite student is the key figure who made the smuggling from Albion successful?"】

【"..."】

【Ashira fell into silence.】

【Luvia, who pushed her into a predicament, also had a racing heart; after all, all the current speculations are full of assumptions, like walking on a rope that could break at any time, and one careless move would lead to total destruction.】

Kayneth: "It's really hard for Luvia."

Shishigou Kairi: "Could it be that Kuro's death was also for this reason."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Because Kuro was the key figure helping Heartless smuggle, the other disciples who were spies found a way to get rid of him..."

Waver: "I feel like something is not quite right—"

【Luvia: "You five made money through smuggling, survived Albion through official channels, and then were protected by Heartless; it was a very natural development. And for Heartless, keeping you by his side for a while was also more reassuring. So now, why did Heartless let the other disciples disappear? We think this is revenge."】

【Inorai: "Oh, revenge?"】

【Ashira: "Teacher against disciple... I see, although it makes sense..."】

【Luvia saw it in her eyes and thought to herself: "It's too early to accept it now, because the things to be revealed next will truly shatter your cognition."】

【Video paused.】

【Question: Regarding what happened to Heartless's five disciples in Albion ten years ago, what is the truth?】

【Start answering!】

Rin Tohsaka: "Oh oh, finally starting to ask questions."

Rin Tohsaka: "But this question, isn't it just that they killed the disciple named Kuro."

【Ding! Congratulations to Rin Tohsaka for answering part of it correctly, obtaining 1 Saint Quartz.】

Waver: "Only answered part of it? Is it missing the reason, or..."

Shishigou Kairi: "Could it be what I just said, because Kuro helped Heartless smuggle, he was eliminated by the other disciples who were spies."

【Ding! Shishigou Kairi answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Shishigou Kairi: "Hmm, completely wrong?"

Caules: "If it's not this reason, could it be that they discovered something and the spoils were not divided evenly."

【Ding! Caules answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Caules: "Not right either?"

Fiore: "Strange, then what could be the reason? Could it be that someone instigated it?"

Kayneth: "Could it be that the Lords behind the spies instigated them to kill Kuro."

【Ding! Kayneth answered incorrectly, 1 Saint Quartz deducted.】

Kayneth: "This isn't right either..."

It doesn't make sense; the future Second found the answer, why can't I think of it? Did I overlook something?
