Humans in Type-Moon, Path of the Heroic Spirit

Chapter 27 The Conflict between Weber and Kenneth

In a dessert shop in Shinto, Fuyuki City.

"N-No way—I absolutely don't agree to forming an alliance with that Kayneth... Ugh, Rider, why did you hit me all of a sudden?!"

After Kamiya Yu proposed the alliance, Weber subconsciously widened his eyes and shouted loudly with some excitement.

But before he could finish, Iskandar raised his fist without mercy and made close contact with Weber's head, which immediately made the weak boy's eyes full of tears.

"Boy, don't talk yet."

After using a simple and rough method to quiet Waver, Iskandar looked at Kamiya Yu with a serious expression and asked in a deep voice, "What is the reason for the alliance?"

"As you are probably aware, my little Master has a deep conflict with Lancer's Master. If you don't have a convincing explanation, then please forgive us for rejecting it."

Do you want to use this excuse to get information from me... Staring at Iskandar with a burning gaze across from him, Kamiya Yu thought secretly in his heart.

If he hadn't known the original work, Kamiya Yu would have been deceived by Rider's bold and rude disguise, but in fact, this world-famous King of Conquerors is a wise man with a rough but subtle appearance.

From the moment they met today, he began to test himself. Whether it was calling Kamiya Yuu Caster's Master, or asking about the reason for the alliance, he was just secretly obtaining information.

However, for Kamiya Yu, he does not hate such opponents.

After all, the first servant to be dealt with is Gilgamesh, so it doesn't matter if some information is revealed now.

"I've also heard a little about the conflict between Mr. Weber and Kenneth."

Focusing his gaze on the aggrieved Waver, Kamiya Yuu smiled and said, "I heard from my friends in the Clock Tower that Kenneth tore up your paper in class?"

"That's right! That arrogant and hypocritical Kenneth must be jealous of my talent, so he ruined my carefully prepared paper!"

Hearing his words, Waver couldn't help but clench his fists and replied indignantly.

"Oh? I didn't expect things to turn out this way." Looking at Waver, who was emitting a thick layer of resentment, Kamiya Yu asked in a gentle voice, "If it's convenient, could you tell me the topic and content of your thesis?"

"Well, no problem..." Weber was stunned for a moment, and then briefly introduced his theoretical research to him.

"I see. Even without bloodline, one can still become an excellent magus? That's an interesting theory."

After listening to Waver's story, Kamiya nodded with interest and spoke softly.

"You also think my theory is correct, right?" Seeing that Kamiya Yu, an outstanding civilian magician, agreed with his point of view, Weber's face suddenly turned red with excitement.

However, just as he was about to say something else, Kamiya Yu suddenly changed the subject, "Although the idea is good, Mr. Weber, have you ever considered that so-called magic families are formed through the accumulation of several generations, or even dozens of generations of magicians?"

"What others have achieved after hundreds of years of hard work, why do you think you can achieve or even surpass it in just one generation?"

Having said that, Kamiya Yu paused for a moment, glanced at Weber who gradually fell silent, and then continued.

"Moreover, in this world, geniuses are always a minority. Most people are just ordinary people. Your theory is too subjective and doesn't apply to everyone."

"I..." Faced with this sharp criticism, Weber's face turned pale. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to refute Kamiya Yu, but he could not find any words to argue.

Seeing this, Iskandar, sitting nearby, didn't say anything to stop them. Instead, he rubbed his chin with a nostalgic look, recalling his earlier arguments with his teacher, Aristotle. "Although you're still a little immature now, I believe you'll become a truly accomplished magician, Weber."

Looking at the somewhat shaky Waver in front of him, Kamiya Yu slowed down his tone and said encouragingly, "Because I can sense that you have a unique talent, but it has not yet been discovered."

"...Really?" Weber's thin body trembled slightly. He clenched his teeth and tried his best not to cry. Kamiya Yu's words just now undoubtedly made this originally high-spirited young man fall into deep self-doubt.

"Of course it's true." Kamiya Yu smiled slightly and gave him an affirmative answer.

After all, no matter which world, Waver would inherit the name of El-Melloi II and become an excellent lecturer.

However, if Kenneth had not died in this Holy Grail War due to his intervention, what would the future have been like?
Maybe this world will become a singularity in the future, and then be targeted by a Chaldean gang, and send Gudako to suppress it...

Gudako: In a world like this, I'd seriously fix my teeth!

Thinking of this, a solemn look appeared in Kamiya Yu's pale golden eyes. After a slight choice of words, he changed the subject, "As for why Kenneth tore up your paper, I think he did it to protect you."

"Although that guy looks unkind and has a terrible personality, he's actually a tsundere lemonhead."

"...What did you say?" After hearing Kamiya Yu's words, Weber was stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by this unexpected news.

"Since you were able to write this paper, I believe you, Weber, are aware that the theory of bloodline is the foundation of the Clock Tower."

After taking a sip of coffee, Kamiya Yu continued, "Even though you are small and insignificant now, and relatively unknown in the Clock Tower, the twelve monarchs atop the tower will not allow such thoughts to arise."

"Once the contents of the paper are exposed, no matter if they are aristocrats, neutrals, or democrats, they will not let you live."

"So, you should be thankful that your lecturer is Kenneth. Among all the monarchs, only that Lemonhead would stand up to protect his students, even if he is a member of the aristocratic faction."

"How can it be……"

By the time he heard the last part, Weber's face had turned pale, and he looked a little distraught.

Seeing Waver's expression, Kamiya Yu shook his head slightly. He then turned his gaze to Iskandar, who was watching the show, and asked with a smile, "Rider, what have you thought about it?"

"Well..." Iskandar deliberately prolonged his tone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a wanton arc, "It seems that you have convinced my little Master, but this alone is not enough!"

"As a token of our alliance, I can reveal Archer's true name to you two."

Kamiya Yu pretended to be embarrassed and said with a wry smile, "As much as I hate to admit it, Archer is very powerful. None of us can match him."

"He could even end the Holy Grail War overnight if he wanted to."

"...Is that Gilgamesh really as strong as you say?" Iskandar glanced at Kamiya Yu with some suspicion, as if he didn't believe what he said.

"Of course." Kamiya Yu nodded, and then, as if he had thought of something, he added, "And this alliance is only formed to fight Archer. After we get rid of him, we will each fight for the Holy Grail based on our own abilities."

"Very good, then I agree to your request!"
