In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

--boom!

With a dull thud, the door to the magic workshop was opened almost without hesitation in front of the two traitors.

The atmosphere around them became even more tense.

Weber's heart was completely dead.

"Let's go."

Rowe called out to him.

"I know……"

"You know nothing. If you really knew, you wouldn't be kneeling on the ground over there." Luo Wei rolled his eyes at him.

"Then get moving!"

Urged on by Rowe, Weber was kicked through the gate to the core area of ​​the workshop, and then he moved forward slowly and nervously.

The countless magical restrictions and various familiars that surrounded the corridor filled him with dread.

Finally, urged on by Rowe, they quickly arrived at the very end of the magic workshop, right in front of Kenneth's room. He could already picture Kenneth staring intently at the door with a serious, impatient, and angry expression, waiting for the two of them to enter.

In the final moments, Webber and Lowe exchanged a glance and then nodded slightly.

...thump thump.

With a low knock on the door, the two spoke in unison.

"Excuse me, Mr. Kenneth."

Then, Lowe took the initiative and gently pushed open the door that had no restrictions, pulling Webber inside.

Inside the room, Kenneth, who had been waiting for a long time, sat in a chair with his face turned toward the two of them.

"Love Crowley, and Webber Velvet, I've been looking for you two for ages..."

As Mr. Kenneth's familiar face turned around, the expected sharp voice called out their names.

"Especially you, Webber Velvet!"

"Yes, Mr. Kenneth!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Weber, who had been feeling uneasy, suddenly shuddered, then his body straightened up as if by reflex, and he bowed to Kenneth in front of him.

"You're as stupid as ever!"

He criticized without reservation.

Weber sighed; he had anticipated this situation.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I shouldn't have..."

"Let's put aside the matter of stealing the relic for now and talk about the foolish mistake you made! I think I mentioned this in class, right? Entering another magician's workshop means what!"

Kenneth glanced at him, then deliberately raised his voice, "Look at yourself! You barged in without even preparing the proper magical attire. What are you doing here? Committing suicide? If I hadn't noticed this, the magical restrictions outside would have been enough to wipe you out!"

"Do you think I'll show mercy because of past grievances, or do you think you and Luo Wei can subdue me, the monarch, in the magic workshop? If that's your intention, then I don't need to be polite anymore..."

Kenneth stood up and snapped his fingers.

--clatter!!

With a crisp snap of his fingers, countless magical restrictions hidden within the workshop activated simultaneously, and countless familiars surrounded him, while a terrifying magical power continuously gathered beneath his feet.

At this moment, even Finn, who had been hiding in the corner waiting for orders, took the initiative to show himself and confront Iskandar, who had just deactivated his spirit form.

The atmosphere in the room instantly froze.

He looked around at Rowe's side, but still couldn't find Scáthach or Caster, so he asked in a cold voice.

"Love, where is the Servant you summoned?"

Compared to Webber's submissive demeanor, Lowe's performance was much calmer.

The moment Kenneth became enraged, the Moon Spirit Essence hidden in his pocket spontaneously activated its protective mode, surrounding him in the center. The alchemy array calculated using gem magic and Moon Spirit Essence also suddenly rose up beneath his feet, neutralizing the effects of Kenneth's workshop and escaping the weakening buff from the magic workshop.

"Hall of magic... I never expected you to have made progress so quickly. Is this the prototype of your theory?"

Seeing the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid and the transmutation circle beneath Rowe's feet, Kenneth's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"By utilizing the interoperability between alchemy and the magic workshop, and aiding in calculations with the help of mystical regalia, a mobile magic workshop can be completed in a short time, which is the so-called... Palace."

"When you have fully mastered this theory, it may be enough for you to become a [Color Rank], or even... a [Grand Rank] magician."

Upon seeing Luo Wei's achievements, he calmly commented, and his expression no longer seemed as angry as it appeared.

This relieved Webber.

"I admit that your talent surprises and delights me more than Weber's. But do you really think you can beat me with something like that?"

Kenneth glanced at Lowe, his expression shifting from relaxed to serious. Even with the workshop and Lancer's help, he knew his chances of winning were slim.

After all, their opponents might possess the strength of three Servants, including two top-tier figures like Iskandar and Scáthach. It would be virtually impossible for him and Finn to win alone.

But we won't lose face.

His dignity as a teacher wouldn't allow him to run away before the battle even began, especially in front of his two students.

If he were scared away, what would become of his reputation? How could he maintain his footing in the Clock Tower...?

So Kenneth braced himself and prepared to fight this final battle with his two traitors in his magic workshop.

"Now let me show you what a monarch-level battle truly is!!"

However, just as he raised his palm, preparing to strike first and launch an attack on them.

Lovi, who had been supporting the transmutation array, slowly raised his hands, making a daily milking gesture, and then, without any warning, dispelled the magic array beneath his feet.

And he answered very directly.

"I concede."

"Huh?!"

The speed of this swift surrender stunned Webber, who was ready to let Rider take him away, and even made Kenneth, who was prepared to fight to the death, frown slightly.

"What trick are you playing?"

Chapter 43 Master-Disciple Alliance (5,000 words)

"..."

"..."

Sometimes, the worst thing is when the atmosphere suddenly becomes quiet.

This is because at such times, something unexpected has usually happened, forcing those present to think and causing a brief pause.

"Love, what tricks are you playing on me? Removing the temple's magic, aren't you afraid I'll use it as an opportunity to attack? Or... did Scáthach and the Caster you summoned leave you some kind of backup plan? Something that will trigger when I attack you..."

Seeing that Lowe had immediately dispelled the spell and even raised his hands in a gesture resembling a daily masturbation ritual, Kenneth, who had been prepared to fight to the death to suppress the traitor, was taken aback. He was genuinely surprised by this unexpected development.

"..."

He looked at Lovi warily, then used magic to scan the surroundings again. After carefully confirming that no one or any servants were hiding there, his eyes became increasingly puzzled.

Although Kenneth had some suspicion that Loewy might have had his Servants hiding around waiting for him to make a mistake, he quickly dismissed this absurd idea.

Regardless of whether Lowe truly harbored such dangerous thoughts, if he were in his magic workshop, as the workshop owner, it would be impossible for him not to detect the intruder's presence. Let alone Lancer or Caster, even Assasain would be unable to evade his senses. Therefore…

"You brat, you really didn't bring any Servants with you?"

Kenneth looked at Rowe with surprise at this outcome.

"Don't worry, Professor Kenneth, I didn't bring any Servants this time."

Faced with Kenneth's questioning, Lowe nodded slightly, "Because I brought Webber here not to declare war on you, but to do something more important..."

"Hmph, I doubt you'd have the guts to do that."

After receiving a positive reply from Rowe, Kenneth snorted and his expression was no longer as serious as before.

Weber secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want by coming to my door?"

Seeing that Kenneth was no longer so angry, Lowe pressed his advantage and quickly patted Webber on the shoulder, signaling him to hurry up and bring out the things he had prepared in advance.

Then, to Kenneth's utter astonishment, Weber, his hands trembling, pulled two self-criticisms he had written beforehand from his pocket.

One copy was his own, and the other was written for Rowe. He then bowed and handed it directly to Kenneth.

Then, resignedly, he shouted, "We are so sorry, Mr. Kenneth! We have caused you trouble. This is our letter of apology!!"

"...Huh?"

Kenneth was taken aback and looked at them with a strange expression, clearly not expecting things to develop this way.

He manipulated his familiar to snatch the letter of apology handed to him by Waver. To prevent any magical sabotage, he deliberately used a detection spell before opening it. Then, with a mixture of doubt and suspicion, he opened it, wanting to see what tricks these two traitors were up to.

"You two..."

After opening the letter of apology and reading it carefully for a few minutes, Kenneth let out a long breath. Then, with a complicated expression, he crumpled the letter in his hand into a ball. Looking at the two traitors in front of him with completely different expressions, he felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he had punched cotton. The anger in his heart was almost gone at this moment.

I was about to say something, but all my words boiled down to one sentence: "Never mind, just come with me..."

Weber immediately felt a great sense of relief.

"But don't think I'll forgive you so easily! Especially you, Waver, who dared to steal my relics and come to the Holy Grail War without even knowing your own capabilities."

Kenneth turned around and glared at Weber fiercely. "I must say, you're even bolder than Rowe."

Weber tensed up instantly.

“However…” Kenneth turned his gaze back to Iskandar, who was talking to Finn, “I really didn’t expect that you could actually summon a top-tier Servant like the King of Conquerors. That surprised me a bit. It’s good that you haven’t tarnished El-Melloi’s reputation, so I won’t hold it against you.”

"However..."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Waver again. "With your third-rate mana supply, it's clearly not enough to satisfy a Servant like the King of Conquerors. If he goes all out in battle, how long can you hold out?"

"How about it? Iskandar, the Conqueror King, you must be feeling constrained by a third-rate mage like this, right? Are you interested in becoming my Servant? The mana supply here can easily support multiple Servants in a full-fledged battle, and obtaining the Holy Grail will be a piece of cake."

Kenneth ignored Webber and extended an invitation directly to Iskandar.

Before coming, to ensure the success of this battle, Kenneth brought the magic furnace of the Supreme Mystic Code from before the birth of the Moon Spirit Essence of the El-Melloi School, and also borrowed two monarch-level magic furnaces from the other two monarchs.

With the current amount of magic power at hand, supplying this magic workshop with magic power would be an easy task, even if it were to supply multiple top-tier Servants like Finn and Iskandar. The idea that a Master can only support one Servant is no longer valid for him.
