Ren Isana, meanwhile, prepared for his second summoning. This time, he brought out the British antique he had purchased earlier and placed it in the center of the living room.
The [Heroic Spirit Summoning] magic circle was activated once more. Ren Isana spoke slowly, "Heroic Spirit of Britain, come forth and help me hit your King!"
As he spoke, the corners of Ren Isana's mouth curled upward. Though he didn't know exactly who this catalyst belonged to, it didn't matter as long as they were from Britain. Since Artoria was already here, he needed someone to act as a combatant.
Hearing this, Da Vinci's expression became quite peculiar. She had been summoned in a similar fashion just a moment ago, and now he was doing it again? Moreover, was that object really a proper British catalyst?
Da Vinci's gaze fixed on the item Ren Isana had placed in the magic circle. While it possessed a trace of mystery, it was far too faint. It seemed barely sufficient to serve as a catalyst.
At most, it was an object that had been touched by a certain existence and retained a lingering scent. Could such a thing really summon a powerful Heroic Spirit?
Under Da Vinci's doubtful gaze, a struggle seemed to erupt on the other side, but it soon grew quiet. A figure holding a pitch-black spear appeared. When Ren Isana saw her, he was momentarily stunned.
Is that... Morgan? That specific weapon, the face identical to Artoria's — but with long hair and a far more developed figure. This was none other than the Fairy Queen, Morgan!
"Berserker, Morgan!" her voice rang out. Her gaze landed on Ren Isana, and the moment she saw him, a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.
This minister was quite extraordinary. Particularly after sensing the inexhaustible energy within him, this Fairy Queen from a Lostbelt expressed her approval. This new minister was indeed quite impressive.
Furthermore, Morgan could not fail to notice the aura about him that was entirely out of place in this world. Beyond that... he was a God Slayer, and he possessed a peerless talent that practically overflowed from his being!
"Miss Morgan, I'll be in your care!" Once Ren Isana confirmed her identity, a look of pure delight appeared on his face. This was going to be very interesting.
Ren Isana never would have imagined he would summon Queen Morgan — and specifically, the version who ruled over a Lostbelt. She was a genius mage who had replicated the power of [Rhongomyniad・Sacred Spear of the End] through [Magecraft].
Summoning her was truly fantastic. Ren Isana really wanted to learn the secrets of [Rhongomyniad]. After all, who could refuse the [Anchor of the Holy Spear]? However, there was no rush; they had plenty of time!
"You just said that my failure of a sister is also participating in this Holy Grail War, correct?" Morgan's gaze remained on Ren Isana as she asked a crucial question.
"That is correct. To my knowledge, she is indeed a participant, though she likely hasn't arrived in this city yet," Ren Isana replied, his lips curving into a smirk. This was going to be a hell of a show.
Having confirmed this, Morgan nodded. "Very well. If we encounter her, leave her to me. As my minister, you provide me with excellent power. What reward do you desire?"
Ren Isana was surprised by her words. *She's already treating me like a subject? And asking what reward I want? I wonder if she'd tread on me...* That thought flashed through his mind for only a second.
Since she was being so polite, Ren Isana wouldn't hold back. He had originally planned to wait, but he hadn't expected her to offer so readily!
"If possible, Your Majesty, please teach me your [Magecraft]. I've heard you replicated the power of [Rhongomyniad・Sacred Spear of the End] through magical theory," Ren Isana said, stating the reward he wanted.
Morgan frowned slightly upon hearing his request. He wanted to learn that? After a moment's thought, she nodded and agreed. "Very well. I can teach you, but whether you can learn it is entirely up to you."
Initially reluctant, she changed her mind. Teaching him wouldn't hurt. Her specific [Magecraft] wasn't something just anyone could master. She knew exactly how difficult it was. This would also be a perfect chance to see just how strong Ren Isana's talent really was!
"Thank you. You can rest easy while teaching me," Ren Isana said, his eyes gleaming with excitement. As for whether he could learn it? He wasn't worried in the slightest.
Once they had reached an agreement, Ren Isana introduced Da Vinci to Morgan. Upon learning Da Vinci's identity, Morgan merely gave a faint nod. She then turned back to Ren Isana. "I will explain the technique to you once. Only once!"
With that, she began to explain the intricacies of the [Magecraft] used to manifest [Rhongomyniad・Sacred Spear of the End]. As she spoke, Ren Isana began to learn at a staggering pace.
As her explanation continued, a flicker of surprise crossed Ren Isana's eyes. This technique's consumption was massive! If anyone else tried to manifest it, even a Tier 8 individual would likely have their Magic Power drained in an instant.
Fortunately, Ren Isana didn't have that problem. His Magic Power was currently near-infinite. Even if he used it, he would likely recover fully within a few minutes. The complexity of this [Magecraft] was far beyond what anyone could imagine.
[Rhongomyniad] was a Holy Spear. That Morgan could manifest its power through [Magecraft] alone was simply absurd. Thankfully, he was capable of learning it!
Morgan continued her explanation for nearly an hour before finally finishing the complex theory. Da Vinci had been listening the entire time and couldn't help but give a thumbs-up once it was over.
"Queen Morgan is truly remarkable!" Da Vinci spoke with genuine admiration. Only those who truly understood [Magecraft] could grasp how incredible this feat was. After saying this, she looked at Ren Isana.
Could this Master actually learn such a spell? Da Vinci was curious. However, Ren Isana's next words left her stunned. He nodded and said, "Thank you for the guidance. I've already learned it."
Both Heroic Spirits froze. *Is he joking?* If this [Magecraft] were that easy to learn, countless people would have mastered it by now. For their Master to claim he had learned it already felt like a prank.
Ren Isana didn't say a word. He simply began to release his newly acquired [Magecraft]. A spear of light slowly manifested in his hand. As he successfully condensed the spear, the two Heroic Spirits fell into a silent daze.
Morgan stared deeply at the man and eventually spoke, "What an enviable talent. Did you really learn it after hearing it just once?"
She had never seen anyone so absurd. Beside her, Da Vinci's eyes lit up with excitement. She looked at Ren Isana with great interest. "Master, you really are incredible! Are you interested in learning some of my knowledge, too?"
Da Vinci finally understood why she had been summoned by Ren Isana. It was because they were both geniuses — super geniuses. Geniuses were naturally drawn to one another. She was now very curious to see if Ren Isana could master her own vast stores of knowledge!
Da Vinci's initiative piqued Ren Isana's interest as well. After all, her knowledge was extraordinary, making her nearly omnipotent. Whether it was [Magecraft] or other fields, Da Vinci excelled in everything.
One could say she was a truly versatile Heroic Spirit; the title [Universal Man] was no exaggeration. There was nothing she couldn't achieve if she set her mind to it. She possessed a mountain of knowledge worth learning.
The two began to converse. Ren Isana didn't hide the fact that he was from another world and even began to exchange information with Da Vinci regarding the magic systems of his home.
Seeing this, Morgan's interest was piqued as well. One man and two Heroic Spirits sat in the living room chatting casually. Watching this, Sakura couldn't help but yawn. The three of them were ignoring her, and she couldn't understand a word of their conversation anyway.
Gradually, sleepiness took over. After being pulled from the Matou residence by Ren Isana and experiencing so much, she was already exhausted. Without realizing it, she curled up on the sofa and fell fast asleep.
After talking with Da Vinci and the others for a while, Ren Isana noticed the sleeping Sakura. He spoke up, "Let's end it here for today. If all goes as expected, the others should be starting their Heroic Spirit summons soon."
The Holy Grail War had been moved forward due to his arrival. Therefore, the summons by other parties would likely happen sooner as well. Ren Isana only needed to wait quietly for the war to officially begin.
As for whether the state of this world would change because of his arrival? Ren Isana wasn't worried at all. With his current strength, he was fully capable of crushing the Fourth Holy Grail War.
After informing Morgan and Da Vinci, Ren Isana picked Sakura up and carried her to a spare room. He took a blanket from the closet and tucked her in.
Once that was done, he found a room for himself and took out his phone to check the group chat. He wondered how the others were doing.
As soon as he opened his phone, he received several messages. A message from Asuna, in particular, left him confused.
Asuna: "I met a vampire!!"
The message had just been sent. Ren Isana was puzzled. *Why has she run into a vampire again?* But in the next second, Asuna sent a photo — a picture of a blonde-haired, red-eyed woman who looked like a somewhat innocent and naive older sister.
When Ren Isana saw her, he fell into deep thought. *Isn't that Arcueid? What kind of luck does Asuna have? Did she really run into her? Or did the other party come looking for her?*
As a True Ancestor, Arcueid possessed the ability to read information directly from the world. Ren Isana and the others were outsiders who had suddenly appeared, so it wasn't surprising that she would be curious enough to seek them out.
Ren Isana: "What happened? This woman looks like she'd be very easy to trick. Did you scam her? Are you with her right now?"
Asuna: "Nonsense! She is not easy to trick at all!! Her name is Arcueid. She found me herself and immediately exposed my identity, knowing I was from another world!"
On the other side of the world, Asuna was speechless. What was Ren Isana talking about? What did he mean by saying she looked easy to trick?
