In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

But Olga Marie interrupted the conversation again: "Huh!? Why is Romani in charge!? Where's Rafe? Where's Mrs. Rafe? Call Rafe out here!"

Dr. Roman was startled: "Aaaaaah!?"

Ignoring the two shouting and yelling, Fujimaru Ritsuka, standing in the corner, stared at Mashu's shield, lost in thought.

For some reason, she felt a strong urge, an urge to say something.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was currently in a period of mental exhaustion and didn't have much energy to think. She reached out her hand with the Command Seal on it and touched Mash's shield, which was placed on the ground.

"Your body is beneath me; my destiny rests on your sword..." Fujimaru Ritsuka yielded to her will, the incantation slowly uttered, attracting the attention of others.

"Hey, hey, hey? Ritsuka, what are you doing?" Dr. Roman was startled.

Olga Marie and Mashu were also stunned.

Taking advantage of this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka continued chanting.

"Respond to the call of the Holy Grail, heed this will and this reason, answer me!"

She suddenly stood up, causing Olga Marie, who was trying to check on her, to stumble.

“You bastard—” Olga Marie sat on the ground angrily, looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But Ritsuka ignored him and continued chanting the incantation: "I swear here!"

"I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world, and I am the one who conveys all evil intentions in the world!"

"The three great incantations will bind you for seven days—"

Mashu stared blankly at Fujimaru Ritsuka, whose eyes and Command Seals were now glowing.

"Break through the Wheel of Suppression, appear!"

"Guardian of Libra!!"

Instantly, a seven-colored light enveloped Mashu's shield, and the entire blue space was filled with dazzling light. Even Dr. Roman, who was in Chaldea, couldn't help but cover his eyes.

A male voice emanated from the light.

"I see... So she was summoned at this age...?"

------------

Chapter 113 Servant, Saber, Anno

As the light faded, Mashu slowly lowered her hands that had been covering her eyes.

The man in the light revealed his form.

He was around thirty years old, with a tall stature, and long black hair simply tied behind his back that flowed like a black snake. He wore a bright silver plate armor that looked extremely heavy and reassuring, and a long sword hung at his waist.

He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a stern gaze and solemnly declared, "Then, Servant, Saber, Anno, reports for duty."

He knelt on one knee and pressed his forehead against Ritsuka's hand, which bore the Command Seal: "Please use my loyalty to the fullest, Master."

Everyone was stunned, including Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had inexplicably summoned a Servant.

She grinned awkwardly: "Huh?"

Olga Marie couldn't take it anymore. She stood up and grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka by the collar: "Newbie! What are you doing?! Why did you suddenly start summoning Servants?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth: "This... I don't know either... It just started summoning out of nowhere..."

Anno skillfully separated Fujimaru Ritsuka and Olga Marie: "Excuse me, miss, please don't be so rude to my Master."

"well?"

Dr. Roman was on the verge of tears: "Ritsuka, why were you so impulsive? The summoning of a Servant is so dangerous, how could you..."

Meanwhile, Olga Marie was still scolding Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was being protected by Anno, and Dr. Roman was also chiming in.

Mashu stared blankly at the tall man named Anno, and without realizing it, uttered, "Master...Master?...Huh?"

Anno glanced back at Mashu and gave her a reassuring smile.

……

Ground.

A brown-haired man wearing a green hat suddenly sensed something amiss: "A Servant has been summoned?"

He frowned. "Strange, they weren't summoned by the Holy Grail...people from Chaldea?"

He closed his eyes and peered briefly above the ground.

However, before his consciousness could break through the ground and see the appearance of the servant, he suddenly felt a gaze upon him.

"What?" He broke out in a cold sweat.

No, it's more accurate to say "an aura of scrutiny" rather than just "eyes".

“Seriously, looks like a troublesome fellow has arrived…” Rafe Lenore Floros swallowed hard.

Someone with this level of aura is definitely not a simple Servant.

He looked at the person standing beside him and sighed.

"It seems the plan needs some changes..."

……

Everyone sat in a circle around the shield, including Roman's light screen.

Roman coughed twice and introduced the newly summoned Servant to everyone.

"Anno, a knight of the ancient British kingdom, one of the Knights of the Round Table, served both King Uther and King Arthur, two British monarchs."

"He was a brave and skilled warrior and the most famous general in Britain at the time. Legend has it that Anor fought against King Vortigern twice and battled demons that came out of the gates of Hell twice. In the end, during the dragon invasion, he killed a large number of dragons and disappeared."

Anno sat motionless, like an iron tower, as if Roman wasn't talking about him at all.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were practically sparkling with excitement.

Is the Servant I summoned really that powerful?!

Dr. Roman continued, "He was not just a knight; he was also a famous politician, thinker, and philosopher at the time, and the chariot problem he posed is still talked about today."

Chapter 114 Independent Choice

"No matter how powerful they were in life, they're just a ghost being controlled by others now." Olga Marie was getting annoyed; none of these people would listen to her commands.

“Rave is dead too…” Her eyes dimmed slightly.

Mashu patted Olga Marie on the shoulder, offering a token encouragement.

People are generally emotionally unstable after losing someone important.

Roman's voice came from the screen: "Um, Minister Anno?"

Anno glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and only after she nodded did she reply to Roman, "What is it?"

Roman broke out in a cold sweat. What an imposing spirit named Anno.

No wonder he's the man in King Arthur's legend who could fight dragons hand-to-hand!

"I'll check your data here. I hope you won't mind," Roman said to Anno.

Anno nodded: "I understand. I still won't be wary of you guys, after all, your goals... are very similar to mine."

“In fact, it was not Master who summoned me.” He looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka. “Please do not take offense, Master.”

"Huh?" Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't understand the situation.

Or rather, she had never understood the situation since arriving at the Singularity. After all, everything happened too suddenly. She was just an ordinary high school girl before, and inexplicably became a "Master Candidate," came to Chaldea, and then came the Big Bang and this city that was always burning with fire.

"Ah, I don't mind, Anno." She was a little nervous. Anno gave her a feeling that was completely different from Olga Marie, Mashu, and Roman.

“I chose to be summoned by following the summoning circle myself.” Anno felt it necessary to clarify these matters. “Originally, I intended to come directly from the Holy Grail to this singularity…”

“However, it seems there’s something wrong with the Holy Grail at this juncture.” He frowned.

Olga Marie sighed, rubbing her forehead: "The Holy Grail... Although there are records of a Holy Grail War that did take place in Fuyuki in 2004... what exactly happened here? Could it be caused by the Holy Grail?"

Anno shook his head: "To be honest... I don't know either. Since I chose to be summoned, I naturally needed a Master. So, when I sensed the summoning circle, I bound myself to the Command Seal on my Master's hand and was summoned as a Servant."

"I see..." Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't feel uncomfortable at all about being used. She curiously examined the Command Seals on the back of her hand.

Roman's voice came through: "So, Lord Anno, you said before that you responded to the summons with a purpose, right? Can you tell me your purpose?"

Anno stood up: "We can talk about this anytime. Please, everyone, take a short rest."

Everyone's eyes followed Anno's gaze, and they saw a group of skeletons approaching them.

"Oh dear, were there really that many monsters just now?" Olga Marie hid behind Mash.

Mashu stepped forward and stood side by side with Anno.

"Give the order, Master."

"Senior, please give the instructions."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded: "Doctor, cut off the communications for now."

She held her right hand with her left, looking fearlessly at the horde of skeletons.

"Servants Anno, Mash, let's fight!"

"Yes, senior—"

"I obey the king's command!" Anno's scabbard trembled slightly, the longsword was already in his hand, and a powerful aura was released instantly.

Chapter 115 Combat Guidance

Olga Marie felt the breeze caused by Anno's aura: "Roman, hasn't Anno's data been compiled yet?"

Roman said with a troubled expression, "The machines at Chaldea haven't been fully debugged yet... and isn't Lord Anno's data a bit too far beyond the specifications?!"

Anno rushed out the moment Fujimaru Ritsuka gave the order.

While Mash was still running with her shield in hand, Anno had already charged into the horde of skeletons.

His longsword emitted a white glow. Slightly stronger skeletons were fine, but skeletons with more serious injuries would turn into dust as soon as they were touched by the sword.

"So strong..." Olga Marie stared blankly at Anno, who had already killed several skeletons without being touched.
