After mumbling for a long time with his head down, Waver took a deep breath. Then he slowly raised his trembling hand, clenched it into a fist, and raised his fist...

But he hit himself in the face without mercy.

boom!

With a dull sound, Weber's body fell to the ground, which scared Iskandar who was standing beside him.

"Boy, you..."

It’s hard to imagine how much strength he used, as he actually knocked himself off balance with one punch.

"This punch... was delivered for my willfulness and arrogance."

Without stopping, after finishing his words, Weber punched himself in the face again.

"This punch was meant for Mr. Kenneth, who might have lost his life because of me!"

Another punch. Waver had already used all his strength to knock himself to the ground. The ugly smile that had unconsciously appeared on his lips when he heard that Teacher Kenneth would die and that he would inherit El-Melloi II completely disappeared at this moment. At this moment, his mind became extremely clear.

"The last punch... was thrown because of that ugly smile and gloating mentality."

After three heavy punches, Weber finally stopped.

"Luo Wei, thank you. I understand everything now."

"Now that you've understood, what are you going to do next?"

Waver stood up from the ground and wiped the blood from his nose with his sleeve. Only when his expression was no longer visible did he turn to Rowe and Rider and answer.

"I'm going to find Mr. Kenneth."

"...Have you made your choice? You should know exactly how Mr. Kenneth will punish you for doing something like this."

Luo Wei looked at Weber, who had a determined look in his eyes, and said seriously, "Are you really ready to take responsibility for your mistakes?"

"Enlightenment... Sorry, that kind of thing is too far away for me. If I had realized it earlier, things wouldn't have turned out the way you described."

Weber wiped the blood from his nose and looked into Rowe's eyes. "I know how Mr. Kenneth will punish me, and I'm afraid of being expelled from the Clock Tower... But I'm even more afraid of the future you described! For my own selfish desires, to prove myself, I'd harm a teacher who taught me. Knowing he might die, yet choosing to stand by and watch in order to inherit his legacy, I can't do that..."

"I can't live through the Holy Grail War hoping for Kenneth's death. I'm here to prove myself, not to wait for Kenneth's death!!"

Weber's eyes were slightly red, and he looked seriously at Iskandar beside him. His attitude this time was different from every time before.

"Rider, you said before that my desire to participate in the Holy Grail War simply to prove myself to others was too petty and too pathetic... Now I am willing to admit that I was indeed a pathetic person back then. But now, I know what I should do."

"My wish is to help Mr. Kenneth survive! Save him and make up for the mistakes I made! I won't use the Holy Grail to make a wish to prove myself, I will use my actions to prove it to him!"

"Very good! Boy, well said!"

Upon hearing Waver's declaration, Iskandar clapped his hands and stood up, his emotions aroused. "That's the resolution! That's the confidence you need! Only this level of confidence is worthy of this king."

"Little Master, I acknowledge your awareness, so I am willing to listen to you now."

"I am your Master. You should have listened to me."

Weber complained helplessly.

"Ahahaha, is that so?"

Iskandar laughed heartily, then clapped his hands fiercely. He glanced at Weber, then looked at Rowe beside him and said, "Then from now on, form an alliance with me! This kid, me, and your teacher, the three of us will form an alliance."

"First, eliminate the other Masters and Servants in one go, and then the three of us will decide the winner. This way, we can ensure the safety of each of you and determine the winner fairly. What do you think of my proposal?"

Iskandar is worthy of being the king who once conquered most of Europe. His heart is by no means as vulgar as his appearance shows. On the contrary, a hero who can accomplish such a feat must have his own hegemony and wisdom.

At this moment, he has made the next plan in just less than a minute.

They formed an alliance and used the master-disciple relationship between Weber, Kenneth and Rowe to form a complete barrier to eliminate all other outsiders. This way, they could fulfill Weber's wish and continue to pursue the Holy Grail to realize their own dream. It was truly a brave and strategic move.

Luo Wei couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the big man in front of him.

"This Holy Grail War truly saw countless heroes..."

"That's fine with me, I'm willing to cooperate."

After listening to Iskandar's suggestion, Luo Wei nodded, then extended his palm towards Weber and asked, "What do you think? Weber, what is your choice?"

"I'm going to save Teacher Kenneth! I'm going to prove myself through my own efforts! One day, I'm going to have Teacher Kenneth acknowledge my talent!!"

This time, Weber was not confused. He directly shook the hand that Luo Wei extended and spoke with a firm look in his eyes.

"That's for the best, my friend."

"Then let's name this operation 'Saving Private Kenneth'."

Luo Wei said with a smile.

"It's a good name. I think it's good."

Iskandar clapped his hands in agreement, but Waver looked at them with a strange expression and couldn't help but complain.

"What the hell kind of a name is that?!"

Chapter 41 The beautiful person I miss~

The top of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.

"Well, Lancer, you did a great job last night and didn't damage my reputation."

"Although we didn't destroy Saber outright and force her to leave, there was nothing we could do about it. After all, no one expected six Servants to get involved last night."

In the empty room, the man crossed his arms and placed them on his legs. Kenneth spoke to Lancer in front of him with dignity.

"Thank you for your compliments, my lord. I am truly flattered that you have not punished me, despite my failure... I apologize for not defeating King Arthur immediately due to my actions, which has caused you trouble."

"But I am willing to promise you in the name of a knight that I will not let you down again in the next battle, my lord."

After returning to the base, Finn sat down opposite Kenneth with permission. Seeing that Kenneth was still so motivated, he couldn't help but smile.

Even after a defeat, he did not complain, nor did he shift the blame to his subordinates. Instead, he considered the next plan seriously based on the current situation. Such a monarch is truly rare.

Although the servant's mission is to obey the master, Finn is still very happy to meet a normal and outstanding master like Kenneth.

"Well, I'm glad you have this intention. Fight well from now on, Lancer."

Seeing Finn in front of him so humble and loyal, Kenneth's wounded heart couldn't help but feel happy.

Only those who have been betrayed can understand the value of loyalty...

Compared with those two unfilial men, the obedient, strong, loyal and humble warrior in front of him undoubtedly brought him a lot of comfort.

At the same time, Kayneth became increasingly convinced that, with his strength far ahead of other Masters, and the cooperation of an outstanding hero like Finn, victory in this Holy Grail War would definitely belong to him, Kayneth, and he would definitely be able to capture those two unfilial disciples!

Speaking of those two unfilial disciples...

Kenneth, who was still feeling lucky for summoning Lancer, was slightly stunned, as if he suddenly thought of something.

He looked again at the blond knight sitting in front of him and asked.

"Lancer, I remember you said you met King of Conquerors Iskandar and one of my students last night, correct?"

"Yes, that's right, my lord."

Finn nodded slightly, then replied, "Last night, shortly after I fought King Arthur Saber, a thundering chariot pulled by a divine bull burst from the horizon into our battlefield. The red-haired man aboard claimed to be King Iskandar, the Conqueror, and your student, Weber, also appeared on his chariot."

"So there's no mistake. Combining the prototype of the Divine Bull Chariot and the information you provided, Iskander's class is Rider, and his Master is none other than the student who stole your relic, Weber Verster."

Although many unexpected events last night prevented him from carrying King Arthur away in one go as planned, this does not mean that Finn gained nothing.

With his extraordinary wisdom, Finn had already seen and analyzed the conditions of every heroic spirit present.

"The King of Conquerors, Iskandar... It matches, everything matches. The holy relic that boy stole was the fragment of the King of Conquerors' cloak."

After hearing Finn's answer, Kenneth nodded thoughtfully, and he was completely certain in his heart that the Rider Master this time was that guy Waver.

"What about the other one? Luo Wei, have you seen him? Or rather, do you know which group he belongs to in this Holy Grail War?"

Kenneth continued to ask.

"It's a pity, my lord. Your other disciple did not appear on the battlefield in person, so I did not see him."

Finn shook his head. "But from the information we've learned so far, we can narrow down the possibilities and confirm his identity. Saber King Arthur's Master is likely the Einzbern family's android and the Emiya Kiritsugu you met. So that can be ruled out for now. The golden Heroic Spirit is Archer who appeared in the Tōsaka family, so that can also be ruled out. Adding Rider and me, your last disciple and the Servant he summoned is most likely Caster, Berserker, one of Assassins, or even Queen Scathach."

"Also, my Lord, I'm also confused about the simultaneous appearance of two Lancers last night. Perhaps Caster exploited a loophole in the Holy Grail War to perform an illegal summon."

"Maybe there are eight servants, right?"

Kenneth nodded, not questioning Finn's analysis.

"That means Rowe may have two servants... and he has a trump card like Scathach, the Queen of the Demon Realm."

Kayneth frowned. He was indeed arrogant, but he wasn't stupid. Knowing his student well, he knew without a doubt that he wouldn't summon a class like Berserker, which was uncontrollable.

Assassin had already left the stage early on the first night because of his reckless intrusion into the Tōsaka family to assassinate, so the Servant summoned by Rowe was most likely Caster.

If we were to say who has the most outstanding numerical ability in the Holy Grail War—

Saber, Lancer, Archer these are the top three classes.

The most mobile one is Rider, the most undefendable one is Assassin, and the most entangled one is Caster.

Magicians understand magicians best. As a modern magician of the upper class, Kenneth is naturally well aware of the horror of this class.

In terms of strength and destructive power, Caster is far inferior to other classes, but in terms of ability to cause trouble and difficulty, it is definitely far ahead.

Unlike the fiercely combative upper three classes, Caster's fighting style is to hide his workshop and complete his magic, so he usually doesn't appear until the later stages. The longer the time drags on, the more prepared the opponent is, and the more difficult it becomes to deal with.

If a Divine Age magus was given enough time to prepare, how difficult would it be to deal with him once he had completed his technique? The mere thought of this gave Kenneth a headache, so Caster's direct approach usually required concentrated fire from the outset.

After all, the purpose of the Holy Grail War is to fight for the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail War is nothing more than a magical ritual.

With the mysterious and unpredictable methods of the God-era magus, it's not impossible for them to directly attack the ritual itself. Imagine if another Master and Servant fought a desperate battle, finally achieved the final victory after going through untold hardships, and then looked back to find that the Holy Grail had already been obtained by Caster.

No one would be able to accept this kind of thing, right?

Moreover, this time, Caster seems to have violated the rules and summoned an exceptional Heroic Spirit like Scathach! This is clearly equivalent to having two Servants in one person, and a Warrior Queen with such exceptional strength.

Just thinking about Kenneth gave me a headache.

"If we're talking about the original texts in Celtic mythology, Finn, you're clearly superior. Even King Arthur and Cú Chulainn, the Son of Light, who are also protagonists in the legend, pale in comparison to you. In all of world mythology, the only ones who can truly compare to you in terms of achievements are Bartras and Hercules. Because you're both heroic spirits who killed gods."

"However, unfortunately, even though Queen Scathach doesn't feature much in legend, her achievements are undeniable. She is also a heroic spirit who killed gods. Her strength is clearly superior to that of King Arthur. And Lancer isn't your strongest class, so if a battle really breaks out, the outcome will be very uncertain."

He sighed heavily. Under normal circumstances, the proud Kayneth would naturally not show such an expression. With Lancer's powerful strength combined with his magic, he would definitely be able to gain the upper hand and even suppress his opponent.

But except for the Assassin whose real name was unknown, the other six contestants were all heavyweights. They were either heroes in history, protagonists in myths, or godslayers. This made him feel deeply powerless.

"Hmm... after all, I underestimated this war. If I had known it would be like this, I should have gathered more helpers."

Kenneth's face was solemn. He had originally thought that he would win the Holy Grail War, but was also hit by a series of heavyweight players.

Fortunately, he had Finn's reliable Lancer in his hand this time, not the Rider who had barged in last night and openly revealed his real name...

This still gave him some comfort.

"And my lord, it's not just Queen Scathach and your student, the Servant of the Tōsaka family is equally unfathomable... Judging by the fact that he can simultaneously control thousands of Noble Phantasms, his strength may be the most powerful in this Holy Grail War."

Witnessing Gilgamesh manipulating thousands of Noble Phantasms simultaneously, Finn felt ashamed of himself. At least at Lancer level, he definitely couldn't defeat him. If he had a more suitable sword or mount, he might still have a chance of winning.

The straightforward analysis is that among the current servants, he is confident of victory against Berserker alone, and he is also confident of defeating King Arthur.

As for Rider, he wasn't a threat. While powerful enough, he was too reckless. Furthermore, his Master was a third-rate magus, preventing him from fully utilizing his full potential. Therefore, the biggest opponents this time would likely be Queen Scathach and the Golden Heroic Spirit.

And based on the other party's actions, Finn has already guessed his real name.

"Master, I may know the answer to Archer's true name."

After thinking it over, Finn spoke.

"what?"

Kenneth's eyes lit up. He felt a little pleasantly surprised by Finn's words. He wanted to hear his answer.

"Gilgamesh, the oldest hero king."

Finn didn't hide anything and gave his answer directly.

"King of Heroes, Gilgamesh...?"

Hearing this name, Kenneth couldn't help but be stunned. His eyes widened slightly, and he was about to say something, but -
