Mashu, who was walking in front, asked quietly.

"Where's Miss Ophelia? Doesn't she usually come here with you?"

"…She's working on something,"

She wasn't lying, Ophelia was indeed studying something.

It's just relatively special.

"I see." Mashu nodded thoughtfully.

"Ms. Ophelia is indeed an excellent magician. She is still working hard on her research even at this time."

"Yeah." Ian nodded, "I think so too."

"You're just trying to find something to say..."

Mordred continued to mutter.

Inside the simulated battle.

In the whiteness, Mashu once again activated the system to allow the Master candidates to adapt to being "Servants" in advance.

"Senior, it's ready to use!"

"it is good."

Ian refocused his attention on the three beams of light in front of him.

as predicted.

Just as he thought, Mordred (Saber), who originally replaced Altria Pendragon (Saber), was gone.

Although it may not be entirely caused by one's own summoning.

But Ian knew that there was definitely a connection between them.

After all, he had just summoned Mordred, and the situation returned to normal the moment he did.

And from the feeling that Mordred described, what she encountered was almost a simulated combat experience.

but--

To be on the safe side, let's confirm further.

Ian summoned Artoria Pendragon (Saber) once again.

Everything was exactly the same as when he first entered the simulated battle, without any change at all.

"Eh?!"

Mashu noticed something was wrong.

"How... did it change back?"

"This is totally not Mordred (Saber), right?!"

Realizing that the change was too obvious, Ian thought for a moment and decided not to hide it from Matthew.

"Matthew."

"Yes, Senior."

"The girl next to me..."

Ian took Mordred's hand.

"My name is Mordred. I summoned this Servant."

"..."

It took Mashu a while to understand.

"senior!"

"You summoned Mordred?!"

Ian wasn't surprised at all.

This was an almost identical reaction to Ophelia.

"Yes, I summoned it."

"When was it summoned?!"

"About half an hour, or an hour ago," Ian answered truthfully.

"This……"

Mashu felt like her brain was shutting down.

She subconsciously looked at Mordred beside her.

Although the latter had his own thoughts, he still nodded, indicating that Ian was right.

Mashu naturally no longer had any doubts.

But this kind of news was a little beyond her acceptance.

It took her a while to calm down.

"Senior, how did you summon her? Chaldea's Heroic Spirit Summoning System should not be open yet, right?"

"A simple summon that Ophelia taught me."

"Ah? Is this possible?"

Mashu opened her mouth slightly, and it was obvious that Ian's words had had a significant impact on her.

"What are you doing!"

Mordred supported his waist with both hands and moved closer to Mashu.

"Are you doubting the bond between me and my father... my master?"

"Oh, that's not true!" Mashu quickly shook his head in denial.

"But that's clearly what you said," Mordred insisted.

"Mordred!"

Ian called her off.

"Don't do that, it's rude."

"..."

Mordred pouted, but still stopped obediently.

And Ian then comforted Matthew:

"I'm sorry, Mash."

"Mordred didn't mean to be mean to you. She's just more sensitive about this kind of thing."

"No, it's okay."

Mashu forced a smile.

Then she seemed to remember something and said:

"Senior, if that's the case, then you probably don't have the corresponding 'Command Seals' yet, right?"

"'Command Seal'?"

Ian heard a familiar word but couldn't quite remember its meaning.

He confirmed that he had seen it in Ophelia's obscure books.

"Yes, it is!"

"This is a magical crystal that can make the 'Servant' obey the 'Master'. If it is a 'Servant' summoned through the Holy Grail War, you should have been given the 'Command Seals' before this!"

"but--"

Mash frowned slightly.

"Senior's situation doesn't seem to be like that, so there shouldn't be any 'Command Seals' or anything like that."

"That--"

Ian looked at Matthew.

"Is there any way to restore the 'Command Seals'?"

"As for this..." Mashu pondered again, "It is said that Chaldea itself can allow the 'Masters' to restore one 'Command Seal' every day, but I can't be sure if it is true."

"After all, so far——"

Matthew looked at Mordred beside Ian.

"You seem to be the only one among all the Master candidates who has already summoned a 'Servant'."

Mashu would not lie to herself.

After thinking for a moment, Ian smiled and replied:

"Well, it doesn't matter."

The man reached out and placed his hand on Mordred's head.

"I believe that even without the 'Command Seal', she will not disobey my orders."

"Isn't that natural?"

"You are mine..."

Mordred, whose head was being held down, swallowed his words back halfway through his words.

She still remembered that Ian said not to reveal her relationship with him in front of other people.

So--

Mordred glared at Matthew.

This guy should also be considered an "outsider", right?

I can't tell her.

"This is my Master." Mordred corrected himself and said, "Isn't it natural for me to act according to the Master's orders?"

"Yes, that's right."

Mashu gave an awkward smile.

She had no idea about the relationship between Mordred and Ian, and she was very nervous.

But she was also somewhat relieved.

After all, Mordred is a "Servant", not a Master candidate like Ophelia before.

A "Servant" wouldn't fall in love with the Master who summoned him, right?

There shouldn't be any "Servants" who come just to see their Master, right?

Their meeting should have been just a coincidence.

Mashu comforted herself in this way, and she felt a little better.

"Matthew."

Ian's voice brought the girl back to reality.

"What, what's wrong, senior?"

"Oh... don't be nervous."

"I just want to know—"

Ian looked at the white "battlefield" in front of him.

"Has the simulation battle system returned to normal?"

"Since the data of Altria Pendragon (Saber) has returned to normal, the corresponding simulated battle anomaly should also be restored, right?"

"I'll start checking now!"

After Mashu finished saying this, she directly controlled the simulation battle panel.
