Magicians all have their own goals, such as reaching the Root, successfully researching a certain technique, or realizing a certain wish...
In the end, magicians are also human, possessing the most basic desires of a person.
Therefore...
The twelve people present, the Lords at the top of the Clock Tower, were all excited.
"Cough!" Inolai, the seventy-year-old Lord of the Creation Department, coughed dryly, her expression solemn. "This matter is very important. You young people are too inexperienced to handle it. You need a person of high moral standing to guide you. Although I am not talented, I am capable of this position."
Hearing this, the expressions of the other eleven people varied, some sneering, some expressionless...
Just say you want to get a spot; why raise the tone of your speech so high?
Lorelei of the Law and Politics Department announced directly, "I will participate in this Holy Grail War."
As a family at the top of the Clock Tower, and a noble of the Mage's Association, no one ignored the words of Barthomeloi Lorelei.
No one refuted her; they directly acknowledged that she would obtain a spot.
"Phew~" Waver said frankly, "I also want to participate."
No one ignored Waver Velvet's words either. His network spanned the magical world. On the one hand, this was due to the support of families and schools such as El-Melloi, and on the other hand, it was because his teaching ability was too strong. He had woven a vast network by teaching a group of outstanding students.
After a little thought, everyone tacitly agreed that he would obtain a spot.
Five spots remained, with ten people vying for them.
The ten Lords looked at each other, and for a moment, no one spoke.
The current Lord of the Spirit Summoning Department, Luferius, said, "There's no need for unnecessary arguments. Let's settle this with our abilities. Those with strength will participate in the Holy Grail War. Is there a problem?"
The other nine people looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
The Holy Grail War was, after all, about eliminating rivals through combat, and it was only reasonable for the strong to participate.
Although the Clock Tower had training grounds for combat, they were for students and couldn't withstand the battles between Lords.
Therefore, the ten people planned to duel in the wilderness.
Lorelei also saw their intentions and immediately stopped them, "There's no need to go elsewhere. The place for the duel will be the academy's plaza. Duels between Lords are very rare, so it can be treated as a public lesson."
The other Lords frowned.
Waver said, "Your suggestion is good, but how do we ensure the safety of the students?"
"It's not a big problem," Lorelei said. "We can broadcast it."
"Mm," Waver nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with the proposal, and the other Lords followed suit.
The contest between top-tier magi would be difficult to decide within a short time, so it was put aside for the moment.
Thousands of miles away, in Romania.
Muyang and the Jewelcraft Sorcerer walked along a deserted highway.
As for Letitia, she had already returned to the Garden.
After all, unlike a certain boss, she needed to take care of the children of No Name, as well as handle some of No Name's trivial matters.
At the same time, she also declared that she would not participate in the Holy Grail War two days later.
"Five more people are needed..." Muyang looked at the setting sun and asked, "Jewelcraft Sorcerer, do you have any recommendations?"
Hearing this, the Jewelcraft Sorcerer thought for a moment and then spread his hands, saying, "No."
"I thought you were going to recommend one or two people, judging by your serious expression," Muyang complained, then after a moment asked, "Really no recommendations?"
The Jewelcraft Sorcerer said, "No."
"..."
Muyang didn't press further, gazing at the sunset and pondering over whom to choose as teammates.
The first people who came to mind were the employees of the shop: a rabbit, a spider, and a ghost.
However... the ghost, rabbit, and spider were all busy.
Then, a series of potential candidates flashed through his mind, each of whom he dismissed after a moment's consideration.
After that, he listed another batch of candidates, and dismissed them one by one as well.
After several rounds, Muyang's expression gradually became agitated.
Fortunately, reinforcements arrived in a timely manner, saving him from further agonizing and worry.
"Why are all of you here together?"
Muyang looked at Hakumen no Mono, Zhang Zhiwei, Hoshiguma Yuugi, Ibuki Suika, and Kazami Yuuka.
The combination was quite... strange.
Hakumen no Mono offered a simple explanation, "If you want to know why, it's probably just a coincidence."
"Better late than never, my team needs members, are you joining?" Muyang asked.
"Joining," everyone said in succession.
"Once we have enough people, the next thing is to decide who to summon."
Muyang held up a finger and said, "My suggestion is to summon King Arthur. Summon seven Artorias to form an Arthur Squad."
Jewelcraft Sorcerer: "......"
Ibuki Suika raised her sake gourd and said, "I want to summon Shuten-dōji."
Hoshiguma Yuugi held a sake bowl and said, "I want to summon Hoshiguma-dōji."
Hakumen no Mono said, "As long as she's a pretty young lady."
Zhang Zhiwei stroked his beard and said, "I want to summon a Chinese Heroic Spirit, preferably one skilled in martial arts."
Kazami Yuuka said, "As long as they're strong enough."
Muyang's expression faltered, nearly everyone on the team objecting.
Artoria's plan... failed.
After a moment, Muyang said, "Then let's summon according to our own preferences."
"OK," Hakumen no Mono replied.
"When do we summon?" Kazami Yuuka asked.
"We can do it now," Muyang said, teleporting everyone into the forest.
A summoning circle appeared, a tap of a toe the only trigger.
"Who wants to go first?" Muyang asked.
"I'll go." Ibuki Suika swayed over to the Summoning Circle, burping as she began to chant the summoning incantation.
"Your body shall be under my command; my fate shall be with your sword..."
"Hold on a second, you're just going to summon like that? Aren't you trying to summon Shuten-dōji?" The Jewelcraft Sorcerer exclaimed, surprised. "You didn't prepare a Relic?"
Generally, there are two ways to summon a Servant.
One method uses a Relic as a medium, which increases the probability of summoning a Heroic Spirit related to it. However, the probability is not one hundred percent, as the Heroic Spirit may refuse.
The other method relies on compatibility for the summoning, which is, in simple terms, a random summoning.
In simple terms, one is a probability-up prize pool, and the other is a regular prize pool.
To be honest, summoning Servants is indeed somewhat similar to a lottery.
"Relic?" Ibuki Suika looked up with her tipsy little face, burping as she spoke, "I don't have that kind of thing, oh~"
"Then how can you ensure you can summon Shuten-dōji?" Jewelcraft Sorcerer was speechless.
"Just give it a try," Ibuki Suika said, "It doesn't matter if it succeeds or not."
After answering Jewelcraft Sorcerer's question, Ibuki Suika continued to chant the summoning words.
As Ibuki Suika finished reciting each summoning phrase, the corresponding special effects also emerged.
The Summoning Circle lit up with dazzling light, and the wind that arose out of nowhere blew in all directions, causing the branches to sway and rustle.
