~9 min read 1,649 words

[Waver, Kayneth, Conqueror King, Luo Luo Ershi, Sola, Brynhildr, and Qin Shi Huang got ten correct, obtaining 10 Saint Quartz.]

Waver: "Wow, following Rider this time actually got so many right!"

Conqueror King: "Hahaha, I said leaving it to this King would be no problem."

Artoria: "You got 10 right; is your luck that good?"

Conqueror King: "Yes, this King's luck is A+."

Artoria: "What! Your luck is actually A+!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Good grief, it's even higher than Gilgamesh."

Conqueror King: "Yes, see that, Gilgamesh? In terms of luck, I've surpassed you."

King of Heroes: "Hmph, what's the use of good luck?"

Feng Xi: "Wow, so sour..."

Ishtar: "I smell it too."

Rin Tohsaka: "That's not right; since your luck is so high, why was your accuracy rate so low in previous quizzes?"

Conqueror King: "Ah, that's because I mostly followed my little Master's choices."

Waver: "Okay, all multiple-choice questions will be left to you from now on."

Conqueror King: "Hahaha, kid, you can't just dump it all on me like that."

[Feng Xi, Hundred Personas Hassan, Zhang Jiao, and Sigurd got twelve correct, obtaining 12 Saint Quartz.]

Waver: "Okay, there's someone with even better luck."

Conqueror King: "You kid are really enviable; you only got two wrong."

Feng Xi: "I accept, I accept."

The two he got wrong were chosen incorrectly on purpose, fearing that getting them all right would be too flashy.

[Now announcing the correct answers.]

[Red Faction seven: Saber Mordred; Archer Atalanta; Lancer Karna; Rider Achilles; Caster Shakespeare; Berserker Spartacus; Assassin Semiramis.]

[Black Faction seven: Saber Siegfried; Archer Chiron; Lancer Vlad the Impaler; Rider Astolfo; Caster Avicebron; Berserker Frankenstein; Assassin Jack the Ripper.]

Kayneth: "What the hell! Semiramis is an Assassin?"

Everyone had guesses about other classes, but Semiramis was indeed unexpected.

Waver: "This, in what way does she look like an Assassin?"

Feng Xi: "There is a legend that Semiramis ascended to the throne by poisoning her husband; this event is also regarded as the oldest poisoning event in legend, and Semiramis is therefore also known as the world's oldest poisoner."

Waver: "No, does this count?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Exactly, she only poisoned one person, and she can be considered an Assassin."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "It should mainly be the expansion of this event by later generations, which had an impact on her."

Kayneth: "Correct."

Feng Xi: "By the way, there is another interesting rumor, which is that Semiramis is said to be the incarnation of Ishtar."

Ishtar: "Ha, is this woman worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as this goddess?"

King of Heroes: "Hmph, I think you are all the same."

Ishtar: "Shut up, you loser."

King of Heroes: "You stinking woman, don't you have any other words when you retort to me!"

Ishtar: "I'm happy to, can you manage it?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Ahem, but this Black faction's lineup seems to have no comparability with the Red faction."

Kayneth: "Exactly, the Red faction has two major main forces, Karna and Achilles, while the Black faction only has Siegfried as a high-level combat force; how can they fight?"

Waver: "Not necessarily; Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take Chiron, for example. As a sage who taught many heroes in Greek mythology and Achilles' master, his strength shouldn't be too bad."

Kayneth: "But the gap between the two sides is still too obvious."

Sola: "Alright, this is a Holy Grail War in a parallel world; it has nothing to do with us, so what's there to argue about?"

Kayneth: "Yes, yes, you're right."

Waver: "...Teacher, you changed your tune too fast."

Kayneth: "Stop talking nonsense."

[The second question is over; now starting the last question of the day.]

[This is a single-choice question; please watch the following picture and choose the third member of the Golden Three Targets.]

Feng Xi smiles immediately; isn't this a freebie question?

Waver: "Golden Three Targets? What is this?"

[Targets are the goals that everyone surpasses, referring to the ceiling of the Heroic Spirit world, the broken-rule Servants.]

[The Golden Three Targets are a combination of three broken-rule Servants.]

[The first two of the Golden Three Targets are Gilgamesh and Karna.]

King of Heroes: "Hahaha, you all heard it, right?"

King of Heroes: "The quiz group has acknowledged this King's strength; you mongrels have nothing to say now, right?"

Ishtar: "Loser."

King of Heroes: "Hey, you stinking woman!"

Conqueror King: "Not to mention anything else, Gilgamesh's strength is indeed powerful."

Artoria: "This cannot be denied."

Waver: "But I really didn't expect Karna's strength to be so strong."

Kayneth: "Broken-rule Servant, so Heroic Spirits also have levels?"

[A: Everyone already knows the person in the picture, Qin Shi Huang.]

Kayneth: "Qin Shi Huang? Needless to say, he must be a broken-rule Servant."

Feng Xi: "That's a must."

Qin Shi Huang: "Golden Three Targets? But I don't really like gold."

Rin Tohsaka: "Hmm? Then what color do you like?"

Qin Shi Huang: "People of my Qin Dynasty all worship black."

Rin Tohsaka: "No wonder your clothes are black."

[B: The picture is a strong man with blood-red pupils, wearing a golden crown, a red cloak, and holding a strangely shaped red spear.]

[Name: Romulus.]

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Romulus, the founder of ancient Rome!"

Conqueror King: "Hahaha, I didn't expect to see the divine ancestor of ancient Roman legend here."

Waver: "Good grief, this guy looks really strong."

Kayneth: "After all, he is the founder of an empire."

Rin Tohsaka: "Then is this one considered a broken-rule Servant?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "He definitely counts; after all, he is the son of the god of war and the founder of the country."

[C: This picture shows a white-haired woman in a white undershirt, also with a pair of red pupils, holding a gorgeous long sword that emits multiple colors.]

[Name: Attila.]

Waver: "Attila? Who is this?"

Kayneth: "Hmph, not even knowing her is the consequence of not studying hard."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Uh, I don't know her either."

Sola: "Stop talking nonsense, tell us quickly."

Kayneth: "Yes."

Kayneth: "Attila, the King of the Huns in the 5th century, was an outstanding and brutal strategic master who left the Roman Empire of the time with no power to fight back, also known as the Scourge of God."

Sola: "Scourge of God! Is that who it refers to?"

Rin Tohsaka: "So she is the famous Scourge of God."

Kayneth: "It's just that according to records, Attila was a man; how did she become a woman?"

Waver: "Teacher, this is the how many-th one, and you still haven't adapted?"

Qin Shi Huang: "Hmph, Huns? This tribe is indeed very difficult to deal with."

He built the Great Wall during his lifetime mainly to resist the invasion of the Huns.

Grassland tribes like the Huns are like cockroaches; no matter how you fight them, they won't die.

From the Qin and Han dynasties, the Central Plains dynasties don't know how many times they have fought the Huns, but each time the other Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse Side would rise from the ashes.

From the Huns of the Qin and Han periods, to the Turks of the Sui and Tang periods, and later the Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongols.

It can be said that the foreign tribes on the grassland have always been the heart-and-mind trouble of the Central Plains dynasties, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Because once these guys are defeated, they will scatter like birds and beasts, dispersing and hiding in the depths of the vast grassland, or even fleeing further away.

The Huns during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han were beaten by Huo Qubing all the way to Lake Baikal, which shows how well these guys can run.

Feng Xi: "Sigh, the 5th century..."

Mentioning this period, Qin Shi Huang and Zhang Jiao also have ugly expressions.

After they descended, they also understood the history of China and knew about these dark years.

In the 5th century, it wasn't just the West that was being rubbed by the Huns; even the East was in flames of war.

At that time, the Central Plains were in the late years of the Five Barbarians' chaos, and the Central Plains were ruined by foreign tribes.

The mountains and rivers were broken, and the land was red for thousands of miles.

The Han people were almost killed to extinction.

But the Eastern Jin court in the south only cared about their own enjoyment and didn't care about the lives of the common people at all.

Fortunately, a great power stood up at this time.

That is Liu Yu, the younger brother of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, and the twenty-second grandson of Prince Yuan of Chu, Liu Jiao.

Liu Yu was like a god of war in that era, first assisting the Eastern Jin to pacify the south, then leading a northern expedition to Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take Guanzhong, then overthrowing the corrupt Eastern Jin to establish his own country and proclaim himself emperor, changing the name to Liu Song.

Unfortunately, Liu Yu could not defeat the power of time after all.

At that time, he was about to eliminate Northern Wei and reunify the Central Plains, but unfortunately died of illness at the age of 60.

60 years old was already a long life in that era.

Missing this opportunity, the Central Plains became a situation of north-south division, entering the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, which lasted for more than a hundred years, until the end of the 6th century, when Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty and unified the world, which ended the war in the Central Plains that had been chaotic for nearly 300 years.

And Liu Yu was like overdrawing the future; his descendants were all brain-damaged.

One was more brutal than the other, one was more brain-damaged than the other, which led to the foundation he worked hard for his whole life being ruined like this.
