Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Beside him, another heroic spirit frowned slightly, seemingly with some disdain. As for what it was that he disliked, Fang Rui couldn't figure it out. The disdain on the other's face vanished in an instant, replaced by another expression.

With the poise of a refined lady and a voice as gentle as water, she declared, "If you ever need my help, I will surely come. Your trustworthy fox spirit priestess, Caster, has descended!"

"Master, what are your orders?"

With her hands clasped together on the left side of her waist and abdomen, and her body slightly bent over, she showed off her beautiful figure.

"Ahem!" Fang Rui coughed, shifting his gaze from Tamamo-no-Mae's beautiful figure, and said softly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Tamamo-no-Mae. I hope we can get along well..."

"I believe we will get along well, Master." Tamamo-no-Mae's smile was very sweet, but it seemed to contain other meanings.

'emmm……'

'Miss Fox's smile is quite meaningful~'

Looking at Tamamo-no-Mae's smile, Fang Rui thought to himself that he had the illusion of being watched.

However, Fang Rui didn't think much of it and instead turned his gaze to another Heroic Spirit, a Berserker.

"The Berserk buff is useless; for a knight, calmness allows them to unleash their full potential..."

It seemed like he was talking to himself, but it also seemed like he was explaining something to someone.

“Master is right.” Tamamo-no-Mae expressed her unconditional support for Master’s decision.

Matou Kariya is saying, "You're the Master, so you're in charge."

Sakura Matou stared intently at Tamamo-no-Mae, her eyes seemingly shining, lost in thought.

Ignoring the reactions of others, Fang Rui threw a bunch of calming and concentration spells at Berserker, directly suppressing the opponent's berserk state to a minimum. Without deliberate provocation, the opponent was no different from an ordinary person.

If the string that keeps one rational breaks, then...

It is possible to briefly enter the highest level of berserk mode.

As the saying goes, the harder you suppress something, the harder it will rebound.

After regaining his composure, the other Heroic Spirit cast a sharp, aggressive gaze at Fang Rui, his tone slightly more menacing: "Berserker, Mordred has arrived. May I ask, are you my Master?"

"Yes, I am your Master." Fang Rui's tone remained calm.

“Well…” Mordred’s tone then changed, no longer so assertive, but instead hesitant and somewhat embarrassed.

"Uh, is what you told me before... true?"

"Of course it's true. The King of Knights descended as the Saber class, belonging to the Einzbern faction, and his Master is Kiritsugu Emiya."

Upon hearing this, Mordred nodded in satisfaction, a slightly sinister smile playing on his lips: "Very good!"

Then, she said aggressively, "Let's set off to attack Einzbern now!"

“I know you really want to see your ‘father,’ but can you not be in such a hurry?”

Fang Rui was speechless and gave Mordred a hard flick on the forehead.

"Ouch!" Mordred clutched her forehead and took a step back, looking at Fang Rui with some surprise.

I didn't even realize it?!

Hitting her hard and hitting her at a speed she can't react to are two different things...

'Master, you're quite extraordinary.'

Furthermore, the fact that Master can converse with her at the Throne of Heroes is enough to prove that Master's strength is absolutely formidable.

Therefore, Mordred's restless heart immediately calmed down and became a little more obedient.

"Okay, it's up to you."

“Very good.” Fang Rui nodded slightly and said to everyone, “Come inside with me to discuss the follow-up plan…”

The group naturally had no objections and entered the house one after another.

"I have two plans for what to do next," Fang Rui said to everyone. "One is for me to take action personally and break through the Holy Grail War on the first night, bringing it to an end."

"Secondly, I'll play a supporting role; you guys can do whatever you want..."

"The difference between the two options is huge!" Mordred exclaimed. "They're practically opposites."

As for option one, is Fang Rui capable of doing it...?

Mordred and Tamamo-no-Mae believed he could keep his word; after all, someone who could communicate with Servants within the Throne of Heroes despite numerous obstacles must possess extraordinary strength...

"If I had to choose, I would definitely choose number one," Tamamo-no-Mae said with a charming smile.

"but……"

“As a Heroic Spirit, how can I let my Master fight personally? If you wish for the Holy Grail War to end sooner, then… I will fight with all my might.”

Miss Fox used the cutest expression to say the harshest things.

His confidence was so strong that Mordred looked at him with surprise, as if to say: So confident?

Matou Kariya, standing to the side, wore a subtle expression. "As expected of a fox! He really knows how to talk..."

"so……"

Fang Rui turned his gaze to the two heroic spirits and asked earnestly, "What are your choices?"

"I'll listen to Master," Tamamo-no-Mae said, raising her hand in a cute manner.

“If I could…” Mordred gently scratched his cheek and said softly, “I would like to choose the second option. There are some things I want to settle myself.”

"can."

Fang Rui nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's proceed with the second plan..."

"You are responsible for fighting the other Heroic Spirits, as for the Master..."

Fang Rui scrutinized Matou Kariya for a moment, then casually asked, "Can you handle this?"

"I don't expect you to eliminate all the Masters, but stopping one or two... shouldn't be a problem!"

“There’s a problem,” Matou Kariya said matter-of-factly. “Although my magic knowledge has improved after nearly a year of tutoring, and I can perform some of my family’s magic tricks, but…”

"The above situation occurred a day ago. After your treatment, my magic aptitude has returned to a state that is slightly stronger than initially but weaker than after the modification. I can use magic, but the power is rather awkward."

"In my current state, to tell you the truth that I'm reluctant to admit, I don't even have a chance of beating that bastard Tokiomi Tohsaka."

'To be honest, even if you were modified, the chances of you surpassing Tokiomi Tohsaka are still slim...'

Fang Rui mentally complained, but didn't say it aloud, to avoid discouraging Matou Kariya's confidence.

After all, this is in front of Matou Sakura, so we should give Matou Kariya some face and just take it as the truth!

"No problem. I will give you two items. With the help of these items, you will be able to fight against other magicians."

"By the way, how's your close-quarters combat?"

A little bewildered by Fang Rui's rather abrupt question, Matou Kariya paused for a moment before replying, "It's alright. Although I haven't specifically studied martial arts, my physique is pretty good..."

Fang Rui did not refute Matou Kariya's praise of his physique. After all, he was a man who had endured nearly a year of torture by Matou Zouken. It was impossible to succeed by willpower alone; a strong physique was essential.

"Is this so..."

Having gained a better understanding of Matou Kariya's situation, Fang Rui already had an idea of ​​what items to give him.

While there's still some time, let's quickly make the props.

The meeting, which seemed to have ended without any explicit discussion, concluded. Fang Rui rummaged around the room for a while, found some metal objects, and then began refining magical artifacts…

After a brief discussion, Mordred and Tamamo-no-Mae clearly defined their roles. Tamamo-no-Mae's class was Caster, and she possessed the skill of building fortifications, making her suitable for defending bases.

Mordred is a warrior responsible for going out to gather intelligence, investigate the situation of other Masters and Servants, and familiarize herself with the terrain of Fuyuki City.

Once they made their decision, they immediately took action.

Tamamo-no-Mae began renovating the house, setting up a magical barrier and various spells.

Mordred, clad in full heavy armor, walked towards the outside...

However, before he could even step out the door, he was stopped by Matou Kariya, who stared at Mordred speechlessly.

"You...you're not planning to go out on the street like this, are you?"

"How could that be! Do you take me for an idiot?" Mordred's tone was slightly arrogant as he glanced sideways at Matou Kariya.

"Since we're gathering intelligence, we naturally need to disguise ourselves."

As he spoke, Mordred touched his helmet. One of his skills had a strong ability to conceal his true nature.

Moreover... Mordred lacked knowledge of conventional methods of intelligence gathering, so he decided to use some less conventional methods.

With that thought in mind, Mordred materialized into her spirit form, bypassed Kariya Matou, and passed directly through the wall to leave the room.

………………

Some time later, the location of another Master, which was relatively close to the Matou residence, was the Tohsaka residence.

"There are many defensive spells!"

Standing at the entrance of the Tohsaka mansion, Mordred made no attempt to conceal her figure, revealing herself openly and honestly.

at the same time……

Inside the Tohsaka mansion, Tokiomi Tohsaka, through the vision of his familiar, looked at the scene at the mansion entrance with a somewhat serious expression.

'Attackers? Or those here to declare war? Or to form an alliance?'

'Hmm, first let's rule out attackers. If he were an attacker, why would he be at the main entrance...? What would he be doing at the main entrance anyway?'

Similar thoughts surfaced in the minds of the other Masters.

The heroic spirits had different thoughts, such as that of a certain king...

"Wow, a frontal assault?! What a warrior! I wonder if he'd be willing to join my legion."

As for Assassin, who was preparing to "attack" the Tohsaka mansion tonight, he was hiding in the shadows, quietly observing Mordred.

'Trying to steal the show?'

What should I do if my spotlight is stolen?

'Continue acting? Or...'

'Where's Master? Send someone to deliver a message!'

'Continue, or revise the script?'
