Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

Weber, with a drawn-out tone, came to the dining table after washing up and sighed.

I still vividly remember yesterday's battle; it was the first time he had ever been so closely involved.

Although I only sat inside the mecha, I at least got to experience firsthand the confrontation between the heroic spirits.

It was even more exciting than he had imagined.

The Servants' combat power was far greater than the mages had anticipated.

If he were in that kind of environment, he probably wouldn't have survived a second.

"A female body was found today at Fuyuki Square. She had been shot multiple times. The identity of the deceased is still being confirmed."

"A gas explosion also occurred nearby at the same time."

"Please, the general public..."

The television was broadcasting the news, and Weber stared silently at the bloodstains on the screen.

He knew what this news meant.

A Master was murdered yesterday.

And it was someone he knew.

It wasn't as simple as the news reports suggested, with only one dead person at the scene.

Kenneth, who was his mentor, was also one of the victims.

The teacher who was praised for his erudition and prestigious family background also died yesterday.

The woman who was discovered was just the teacher's fiancée.

Even now, when he thinks back on it, Weber still feels a tremor of fear.

It was one thing if no one had sacrificed themselves before, but when faced with the reality, especially since it involved acquaintances, he realized for the first time how close death could be to him.

This war for the pursuit of desires is so real.

If you are even slightly careless, you will become a resident of another world.

He looked preoccupied.

"Are you scared?"

Sitting on the sofa opposite, his own servant asked a question.

The way the other person crossed their legs, combined with their elegant tea-serving posture, easily gave Weber a sense of inexplicable sophistication.

"I just feel like I've come all this way for no reason."

Without trying to hide anything, Weber sighed and replied.

He initially came to the Dragon Ball Wars out of spite after his thesis was harshly criticized and "humiliated" by his advisor, Kenneth. He only did so after learning that Kenneth would be helping his fiancée participate in the Dragon Ball Wars.

It's similar to that kind of youthful arrogance: "You look down on me? Well, I'll prove you wrong!"

If he wins against Kenneth in this war, wouldn't that prove him right?

This idea was what initially drove him to come here.

They didn't consider the cause and effect at all.

This can lead to the "trouble" of realizing things too late.

"Speaking of which, what exactly is your wish? It seems you haven't told me yet."

When asked about this, Lelouch glanced at the news report on television and then spoke.

"To be honest, I don't even understand my own wishes."

With a long face, Weber didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Become the strongest "magician"?

Or will he become the "king" of the world?

Or perhaps to gain so-called "wealth"?

These unrealistic things were too far removed from his reality.

"Prove your abilities?"

"Gaining the approval of others?"

"To become a reliable adult?"

But Lelouch's sudden remark almost made him spit out the tea he had just drunk.

"This"

His face flushed with embarrassment, and he even wanted to retort subconsciously, but he opened his mouth for a long time without being able to say anything.

"Why do you know so much?"

"Is this also part of the emperor's cunning?"

After a long while, having composed himself, Weber said helplessly.

"Well, although we haven't known each other for long, your true nature is quite easy to understand."

"That's why I trust you."

Setting down the cup, Lelouch crossed his hands under his chin and responded with a light laugh.

"You've always wanted to prove something to that magician named Kenneth, haven't you?"

"But now that a teacher who is more capable than me has had an accident, I am still alive despite my inferiority complex, and I have started to doubt myself."

"Upon hearing the news of his death, I felt like a fool for being so stubborn, and all the passion I had before vanished in an instant."

The Servants will also learn about the Masters who participated in this war through various channels.

Compared to the initial misunderstanding, the current clarity is a step towards a more open and honest relationship between the two parties.

"You're right."

"Upon careful consideration, I realized that there were problems with the paper I submitted back then; I shouldn't have been so blunt about it."

"Perhaps he was protecting me by making things difficult for me."

This is what people often mean by being "slow to react"—they only realize what's lost once it's gone.

Leaning back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, Weber even felt a little discouraged for a moment.

"Losing your goal is so disorienting and frustrating."

For teenagers, this is a blow they will inevitably experience sooner or later.

"On the contrary, Rider, you are much better than me."

"Becoming emperor at a young age."

"Your wish is truly enormous compared to mine."

For Weber, summoning the "Emperor" of Britain was a tremendous honor.

"Even though I am an emperor, I am still a human being."

"If you're human, you'll have worries; in that respect, I'm no different from you."

"Once upon a time, I was just an ordinary student."

Knowing that the other party had lost their target, Lelouch then began to educate them.

"If you feel that you have nothing to pursue right now, then you might as well stop and look around."

"Observe others, and then ask yourself what your own dream is."

"At least during this war, I still have the power to protect you."

Weber felt a sense of awe and wonder, and was inexplicably moved.

My mood, which had been at its lowest point, suddenly improved.

…………

"Well"

Matou Kariya walked onto the street and glanced at an intersection that was cordoned off.

That was the very area where the Servants had fought yesterday.

The church has implemented a lockdown and is handling related matters.

"Berserker's power is very strong, but Sakura..."

Learning about yesterday's events through the news only made Kariya more worried about the little girl at home.

The Master's sacrifice.

That was no joke.

Even though Berserker has extraordinary abilities, Sakura herself is too "fragile".

If discovered by other Masters or Servants, they will inevitably be in danger.

The best course of action is to remain in hiding or for the war to end prematurely.
