Perhaps it was the lingering effect of a long-standing trauma, but when Weber came to his senses and recognized Kenneth, he was immediately jolted, his whole body tensed, and he felt completely unwell.
Iskandar, however, rarely showed a solemn expression.

Chapter 175 It's like everyone knows how to hire outside help.
Although he was born as a Rider, his Magic Resistance is only D-rank, but with his C-rank Divinity and A+-rank Luck, his Endurance is not low either.
But the opposing hero spirit could easily charm him, to the point that he couldn't be woken up even by others. That was terrifying.
"Looks like this guy is quite a match for me. And what about my warriors?"
Iskandar thought about the legion of heroes in his mental world, and then realized with a sense of frustration that these vigorous young men probably couldn't resist the charm of Scheherazade's level.
"And this guy is Waver's Servant, that's really bad news."
Iskandar couldn't help but mutter to himself, a hint of hesitation appearing on his usually forthright and straightforward face.
Originally, after learning about Webber's relationship with his teacher Kenneth, he actually supported Webber in defeating Kenneth in a head-on confrontation and winning dignity.
After all, Weber was his subject.
Help your subjects regain their dignity; that's how you gain their loyalty, isn't it?
But if the enemy's Heroic Spirit is very effective against him, wouldn't it be a bit foolish for him to still engage in a head-on one-on-one battle?
He does have allies!
Isn't this the kind of time when allies are exploited?
Unconsciously, Iskandar also thought of Kitagawa Yu.
He observed that none of the girls around Kitagawa Yu were affected, so logically, Saber, Medusa, and Nobunaga, the Demon King in Emiya Kiritsugu's hands, should be the ones to take action.
But in that case, Webber would no longer be able to win respect by defeating Kenneth head-on!
Is it about sacrificing legitimacy for one's own ministers, or sacrificing ministers for legitimacy?
Fortunately, Kenneth made his decision before he even had to.
"Ahem! Caster, take back your power!"
"It is well known that the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret."
"This is Fuyuki City Airport. If we start a war here, it will affect the entire airport and thousands of people!"
Kenneth tried to regain his usual composure and coughed as he spoke to Scheherazade.
Scheherazade nodded and withdrew her allure.
Of course, at this point, only Kiritsugu Emiya was still under the influence of the charm.
Emiya Kiritsugu, regaining his senses, couldn't help but look somewhat gloomy.
It wasn't because he was being seduced by another woman in front of his wife and daughter, but because he was likely to miss such a good opportunity to make his move.
Just as Kenneth said, if the two sides were to actually fight here, both Scheherazade's Noble Phantasm and their own Noble Phantasm would be enough to raze the entire Fuyuki Airport to the ground.
Thousands will be affected and die.
Even if he could be ruthless enough to sacrifice these people, Kitagawa Yu and the others would definitely not do it.
Putting everything else aside, Artoria would definitely jump out to stop him immediately.
He's no longer Artoria's Master; if Artoria dislikes him, she might actually draw her sword.
If Kenneth leaves and establishes a magical fortress here, it will be much harder to deal with him later. A complete magical fortress can definitely amplify the power of the magicians within.
In fact, both Kitagawa Yu and Iskandar had thought of this.
However, their feelings were completely different.
Kitagawa Yu felt a slight sense of regret, while Iskandar breathed a long sigh of relief.
In this way, he can take his time to plan, and at the very least, he can obtain more information about Scheherazade from Kitagawa Yu and study it carefully.
Before they could even speak, Kenneth, after glancing at Waver, revealed a sinister look and said in a contemptuous and mocking tone, "I didn't expect you to become a Master, Waver. Are you trying to prove your pathetic magical talent by making a wish on the Holy Grail? How about a fair duel between teacher and student?"
Webber, who had just recovered from the allure and was still somewhat apprehensive about Kenneth, immediately became furious upon hearing this.
He wasn't stupid; he knew Kenneth was trying to provoke him.
But the reason he wanted to become a Master and participate in this cruel Holy Grail War was to defeat Kenneth and prove that his theory was correct.
Although it was a Heroic Spirit who made the move, as a familiar summoned by a magician using spirit summoning magic, the Heroic Spirit is inherently part of the magician's power.
If Iskandar can defeat Caster in a one-on-one head-on confrontation, it's fair to say he beat Kenneth.
Thinking of this, Weber's emotions erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for many years.
"Alright! I will definitely defeat you in a head-on confrontation and prove my theory correct! A magician's strength has absolutely nothing to do with bloodline or how many generations have passed down their skills!"
Weber practically shouted it out.
This caused a mocking glint of triumph to flash in Kenneth's eyes, while Iskandar looked utterly helpless.
Well, even if we temporarily avoid the battle with Caster, we'll have to fight him later.
As for having Kitagawa Yu and the others take action beforehand to kill Kenneth and Scheherazade, a real man like him couldn't bring himself to do that.
"Well said! You truly are my subject—no, my master! A real man should be upright and honorable!"
Iskandar laughed loudly and slapped Webber's shoulder hard, causing the frail Webber to stumble and almost fall to the ground.
Weber was somewhat unhappy about this, but he had long been used to it.
But Kitagawa Yu had a strange feeling that Iskandar's pat on Webber's shoulder this time seemed to be with more force than usual.
With another dismissive smile, Kenneth, along with Scheherazade and his fiancée Sora, left the airport in another direction.
Throughout the process, he did not let his guard down at all, and even secretly took out his magical artifact, Moon Spirit Essence Liquid.
Kitagawa Yu was so envious that he almost wanted to abandon all moral principles and keep him there.
Given the close proximity between them, with his speed and strength, he should be able to break through the Moon Spirit Liquid's defenses and capture Kenneth before Scheherazade can react.
However, considering that this would damage his 'noble' image in Artoria's eyes, he regretfully abandoned the idea.
They then left the airport together by car.
Before they arrived, they had agreed that, as allies, they would all stay at the Einzbern family's private castle on the outskirts of Fuyuki City, in order to better deal with attacks from other Masters.
It goes without saying who they are guarding against.
Meanwhile, in a magnificent study filled with British style, Tokiomi Tohsaka, watching the real-time footage transmitted by the reconnaissance familiars already stationed near the airport, seeing Kitagawa Yu's large entourage filling six black luxury cars, finally couldn't hold back any longer.
In his extreme anger, he slammed his magic wand on the ground, making a hole in the floorboards with a loud 'bang'.
"Bastard! Shameless! Scumbag!"
"How could the Einzbern family possibly have so many Masters and Servants?!"
"And how did Sakura end up hanging out with those people? Shouldn't she be at the Matou family's house?"
"Could it be that the Matou family has also joined forces with the Einzbern family?!"
The thought of this possibility made Tokiomi Tohsaka stiffen, and then his face became increasingly ugly. His usual elegance had long since vanished, and he looked like he wanted to tear Zouken Matou, who had broken his promise, to pieces.
Unfortunately, by this time, even the ashes of the Insect Lord were gone, so he no longer had the chance to whip his corpse.
“Teacher, please calm down. Even if the opponent has four Servants, we may not necessarily lose. Moreover, we can join forces with that Caster’s Master. The opponent is clearly at odds with an ally of the Einzbern family. If we can form an alliance with him, it will be three against four, and the difference in strength is not that great.”
Kirei Kotomine, standing to the side, calmly analyzed the situation, maintaining his expressionless demeanor even after receiving such terrible news.
“You’re right.” Tokiomi Tohsaka paused for a moment, glanced at Kirei Kotomine’s expressionless face, and then tried to calm himself down by adjusting his breathing.
As a master, Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was very concerned about his image, certainly didn't want to lose his composure in front of his disciple.
And Kirei Kotomine was right.
His servant is Gilgamesh, the oldest king. He can take on two, if not three, right?
If they can team up with Kenneth and Caster, their strength will not be at a disadvantage.
Of course, Tokiomi Tohsaka was unaware that Sakura Matou was accompanied by a Medusa who had transformed into a spirit form and become invisible; otherwise, he would have definitely started cursing again.
However, upon seeing Kirei Kotomine, he suddenly realized that he also had an outside helper on his side, namely Risei Kotomine.
Kotomine Risei originally supported the Tohsaka family's victory in the Holy Grail War; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his son to Tohsaka Tokiomi as an apprentice.
Now that the Einzbern family has gathered so many people to join forces without any martial ethics, he can also ask Kirei Kotomine for help!
Although Kotomine Risei's own strength is not that great, and he doesn't have any Heroic Spirits as his Servants, he does have dozens of Command Seals!
What's the use of having many Heroic Spirits? Without magic power, they're not even as good as ordinary familiars.
With enough Command Seals, he could make Gilgamesh unleash his Noble Phantasm repeatedly. After dozens of Ea, even if all the other Servants joined forces, they would not be his match.
Thinking about this made Tokiomi Tohsaka feel cheerful, and a confident smile returned to his face.
Little did he know, Kitagawa Yu had Artoria, the darling of the Type-Moon world. In the clash of Noble Phantasms, Artoria's Excalibur had never lost.
What's more, Kitagawa Yu also brought Avalon, the strongest defensive Noble Phantasm in the Type-Moon universe.
In theory, as long as there is enough magic power, no attack can break through the defensive barrier erected by Avalon.
Gilgamesh's Ea won't work, Karna's "O Sun Wheel, Obey Death" won't work, and Ramses II's "Great Composite Temple of Radiance" won't work either.
Even Arjuna's "Judgment of Annihilation" and Solomon's "The Birth of All Things Has Come, By This Means the Correction of All Things," which are theoretically powerful enough to destroy the world, could not break through Avalon's defense.
So as long as they aren't ambushed and killed, Kitagawa Yu and his group are basically invincible.
No matter how many Command Seals Kirei Kotomine obtains, it's useless.
"Kirei, have Assassin send clones to follow them. As for the Einzbern family, try to infiltrate and assassinate their Masters. As for El-Melloi, try to communicate with them and see if we can join forces." Tokiomi Tohsaka took a deep breath and quickly gave the orders.
"Yes, teacher." Kirei Kotomine didn't say anything more, nodding in agreement like an obedient puppet, and quickly left the study.
Kirei Kotomine then contacted Risei Kotomine, intending to discuss 'borrowing' Command Seals with him.
Perhaps out of the magician's old-fashioned nature, he did not use the telephone, which prevented Hisayu Mai from eavesdropping on their conversation through the telephone line.
After learning about the current situation, Kotomine Ryougi agreed to Tohsaka Tokiomi's request without hesitation, deciding to give all the dozens of Command Seals on his arm to Tohsaka Tokiomi.
Unfortunately, they were unaware of Kitagawa Yu's group's identities and strength, but Kitagawa Yu knew their strength and methods better than they did themselves.
