Chapter 9

Waver: "Hey, hey, how can you say something like that in the group chat!"

Conqueror King: "Hahaha, it seems you aren't too stupid after all."

Waver: "..."

[Time is up, the quiz has ended.]

The screen froze immediately, and pressing it further yielded no response.

[Now beginning to announce the answers.]

[Bluebeard, gave up on answering.]

"Pfft!"

Everyone almost spat out their water.

You could at least have connected the two answers provided; what's the point of not answering at all?

Feng Xi even laughed; Bluebeard's way of thinking really isn't on the same wavelength as normal people.

(Sola, Lord Kayneth, Diarmuid)

[Diarmuid, Lancelot, Assassin, and Kariya Matou connected three groups correctly, earning 3 Saint Quartz.]

Fine, for the three Heroic Spirits, this question was indeed not an advantage.

After all, Masters know which Servant they are going to summon, which is like knowing one extra answer, but Heroic Spirits don't know who will summon them.

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

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

And Kariya Matou expressed his helplessness at this moment.

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

So, he actually guessed one correctly.

[Gilgamesh, Artoria, Conqueror King, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Kayneth, Kirei Kotomine, Rin Tohsaka, and Sakura Tohsaka connected five groups correctly, earning 5 Saint Quartz.]

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

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

[Waver connected six groups correctly, earning 6 Saint Quartz.]

Conqueror King: "Oh my, little Master, you're quite impressive."

Waver: "It's alright, I actually relied on a bit of luck."

[Emiya Kiritsugu and Feng Xi connected all of them correctly, earning 7 Saint Quartz, plus 1 extra as a reward.]

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

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

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

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

However, Emiya Kiritsugu did surprise him quite a bit.

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

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

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

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

Gilgamesh and Tokiomi Tohsaka were deduced after he discovered that after Gilgamesh changed his name, Tokiomi Tohsaka's attitude toward Gilgamesh in the group chat changed.

As for the remaining three Heroic Spirits, besides Diarmuid whose true name was already known, that Assassin group was obviously the Assassin, and the armored knight went without saying was the Berserker.

It wasn't possible for Diarmuid to be the Berserker.

According to Emiya Kiritsugu's observation of Kayneth, he felt that given Kayneth's arrogance, he would likely not choose the Assassin or Berserker classes, so the possibility of his Servant being Diarmuid was very high.

As for the remaining two, it was purely a gamble.

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

The final Berserker was naturally Kariya Matou's Servant.

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

[The Servant summoned by Waver is Iskandar, Rider.]

[The Servant summoned by Tokiomi Tohsaka is Gilgamesh, Archer.]

[The Servant summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu is Artoria, Saber.]

[The Servant summoned by Kayneth is Diarmuid, Lancer.]

[The Servant summoned by Kariya Matou is Lancelot, Berserker.]

[The Servant summoned by Kirei Kotomine is Assassin.]

[The Servant summoned by Ryuunosuke Uryuu is Gilles de Rais, Caster.]

[Feng Xi, because his summoning was a step late, failed to summon a Servant.]

Feng Xi had black lines running down his forehead.

So that's why you gave me the name "Extra Xi" earlier; I really did play an extra.

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

Now he knew where he had gone wrong; he had mixed up 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 Assassin 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 planned to have Irisviel disguise herself as King Arthur's Master while he hid in the shadows to launch a sneak attack, but now that it was exposed, the plan had to change.

[The first question has ended, now beginning the second question.]

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

Kayneth: "Hmph, do you need a rest in the middle of an exam after answering one question?"

Waver: "This..."

Kayneth was now at odds with Waver, and would Matsuwanko Matsuwanko Take any opportunity to belittle him.

[Quiz question, please watch the following video carefully, then answer according to the question.]

The video began.

[On a shipping container at the Fuyuki City docks, three people were standing, looking out at the bridge in the distance.]

[Of 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..."

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

And Feng Xi already knew what this video was at this moment.

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

[The scene shifts to the sky above the bridge, a purple-haired girl holding a shield falls from the sky, and countless golden Noble Phantasms shoot toward her; it is Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon.]

[Subsequently, a series of explosions occur in the scene, and then a red object is seen rushing out of the smoke.]

[It is Lancelot, and that red object is actually a fighter jet.]

[Lancelot successfully saves the girl, but Gilgamesh is 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."

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

Regarding this chuunibyou Gilgamesh, everyone in the group couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him anymore.

Emiya Kiritsugu: "Another unfamiliar participant, then."

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

Rin Tohsaka: "With that attire, she doesn't look like an ordinary person at all."

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

Artoria: "The shield in that girl's hand, could it be..."

She couldn't be more familiar with that shield, but the wielder was completely different from the person in her memory.
