FATE: Target of Grand Master

The following day, after breakfast, Xia Yan began his five-day Spartan Hell Magic Training Course, now in its enhanced version.

Snapped!

"The lyrics were recited incorrectly!"

Snapped!

"The magic loop is not being used effectively!"

Snapped!

"The magic was released too quickly!"

For five days, Xia Yan spent all his time, except for cooking, eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet, being requisitioned by Morgan for magic training.

Morgan even folded a paper fan, and every time Xia Yan made a mistake, Morgan would hit him with the paper fan. However, because Xia Yan made so many mistakes, the paper fan would soon be broken, so Morgan came up with the idea of ​​using a ruler instead.

Only after Xia Yan pleaded and offered to fold the paper fan did Morgan reluctantly give up the ruler.

The sixth day was still scheduled as a rest day, but perhaps because he had been trained into it, Xia Yan took the initiative to come to the training micro-singularity.

"I have good news, Xia Yan. You possess the ability to possess all five elemental attributes. If you had been born into a family of mages, your magical abilities would certainly be exceptional. However, it's not too late to start training now. This Master selection is a great opportunity for you to hone your skills."

These are the words Morgan said to Xia Yan before the training officially began.

Unexpectedly, he was a "Average One" as rare as Rin Tohsaka, which greatly boosted Xia Yan's confidence in magic training.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yan prepared to review the results of his training over the past five days.

First, there's the land.

Xia Yan placed his hand on the ground, and an earthen wall immediately rose up in front of him. Although it was only 2 meters high and 1 meter thick, it was more than enough to block attacks from ordinary bullets.

Next comes the water.

Xia Yan conjured a water ball in his hand and threw it into the distance, splashing out a large puddle of water.

Then comes the fire.

Xia Yan made a gun-like gesture with his hand, and a small flame immediately ignited at the tip of his index finger. As he raised his finger to make a firing motion, the small flame shot out like a bullet, leaving a trail of flame in the air.

There's also wind.

The airflow around Xia Yan began to swirl, quickly forming a vortex that enveloped him.

Finally, it was empty.

Xia Yan closed his eyes, held his breath, and instantly teleported himself two meters away.

After using all five types of magic, Xia Yan was covered in sweat and simply lay down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Xia Yan, hard work is a good quality, but today is your day off, so don't push yourself too hard. Not getting enough rest will affect tomorrow's trial."

Morgan appeared beside Xia Yan, bent down, and handed Xia Yan a bottle of water.

Silver-white hair fell from the girl's delicate face, making Xia Yan somewhat lost in thought.

Xia Yan took the water Morgan handed him and gulped down several mouthfuls, feeling as if he had finally come back to life.

"What do you need me for?"

"Can't I contact you if there's nothing wrong?"

Morgan's question startled Xia Yan.

"Just kidding. I'm hungry."

Morgan smiled faintly, then looked somewhat embarrassed.

It seems that she has become more familiar with Xia Yan. Apart from training, Morgan has shown less and less of the aloofness of the Winter Solstice Queen and has instead become more lively like a young girl.

That's right, that's right, this is the kind of treatment you should get when living with a beautiful girl.

Snapped!

Xia Yan was hit on the head by a paper fan.

"Don't stare at my face like that, you're not thinking about some weird things related to me, are you?"

Morgan's expression immediately turned cold.

"No, absolutely not. I'll go make you some food right away."

Xia Yan quickly made his escape.

Watching Xia Yan's retreating figure, Morgan crossed his arms and smiled again.

At 11:59 a.m. on the seventh day, Xia Yan and Morgan sat together in the living room, waiting for the third trial to begin.

Neither of them spoke; they simply waited quietly.

The moment the clock hands on the wall all converged on the number 12, the spiritual transfer began.

After the familiar, dazzling light faded, Xia Yan found himself sitting on the edge of a bed in a modern apartment.

The apartment is small, the kind of hotel-style apartment suitable for a single person.

Xia Yan got up and happened to glance at a letter on the bedside table.

Dear Mr. Xia Yan, it is with great pleasure that we inform you that, following a comprehensive evaluation by our school, you have been officially accepted as a student teacher. Please bring the following materials and report to our school on [Date] 2004.

This was an offer letter with Xia Yan's name on it, but what Xia Yan cared about more was the signature on the letter—Private Suiqunyuan Academy.

Isn't this the school where Emiya Shirou, Tohsaka Rin, and Matou Sakura from FSN attend?

Just then, the news broadcast came from the television set that was on.

"Next news: In the early hours of this morning, several residents in a residential area of ​​Xindu fell unconscious. All of them have been sent to the hospital for treatment. The police initially suspect that it was caused by a gas leak."

Alright, we can now confirm that this is Fuyuki City, and it is during the Fifth Holy Grail War.

A message box pops up.

[Master's Trial Begins]

Main objective (required): Destroy the Holy Grail.

[Side objective (not mandatory): Prevent Sakura from turning evil]

Xia Yan noticed that this trial not only included the main quest, but also side quests.

Although side quests don't necessarily need to be completed, preventing Sakura from turning evil can effectively prevent entering the most difficult HF route. Even without the points reward, Xia Yan is prepared to avoid it.

By the way, first we need to confirm two things:

1. Is this trial a single-player trial or a multi-player trial?

2. Is Morgan nearby?

The apartment wasn't very big, and after quickly scanning it, Xia Yan didn't find anyone else. However, based on his experience with Diao Yunshang last time, he couldn't rule out the possibility that there were other Masters.

To confirm the second point, Xia Yan called out to Morgan multiple times but received no response. He could barely feel the contractual connection between himself and Morgan, as if Morgan had never come into this world with him at all.

Xia Yan felt a chill run down his spine. Was he going to participate in the Holy Grail War as a Master without any Servants?

What a joke! If you want me to die, just say so. What's the point of all this beating around the bush?

At this moment, another information box appeared in front of Xia Yan.

[This trial is a solo trial; the Master cannot bring any Servants who are already under contract. The system will grant the Master one Broken Sword.]

[Broken Sword Effect: Can forcibly break the contract of one Servant and form a new contract with them regardless of conditions, but has no restrictions on the Servant's subsequent will and actions. Can only be used once.]

After reading the message, a short sword emitting a pale purple light appeared in Xia Yan's hand.

Simply put, this is a one-time use Lulubrike, and it's her only chance to survive this trial.
