Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

Medea entered the venue with Jason, who looked like he had lost all hope in life.

Jason stretched out his hand towards Rin Tohsaka: "Master, save me!"

Jason's embarrassing performance made Tohsaka Rin cover her face. Could he have a little awareness of being a Greek hero? Even Red A was more of a hero than him.

"You have to understand that I am your Master now!"

Medea activated the magic mark on Jason's collar, and the violent electric shock made Jason's whole body emit electric light, and then he fell to the ground with a charred body.

There were murmurs in the audience; Jason's performance was clearly not voluntary. But Medea didn't care much about what others thought.

"The gap between magic from the Age of Gods and modern magic is simply not on the same level."

Medea looked down at every contestant present and said, "Let me show you the difference between us. I will definitely win the prize."

"By the way, this venue was also arranged by Miss Medea. This alien space technology is truly astonishing. The other contestants must be feeling immense pressure, right? Don't worry, a duel isn't just a simple numerical competition. Even a mortal can potentially kill a god!"

Next up was the last contestant. The cleared space dimmed, and a spotlight, shining from nowhere, focused on one spot: "As the finale, let me welcome the only unseeded contestant without a Heroic Spirit! A supremely powerful contestant who defeated Cu Chulainn with a mortal body! Not even Scathach's strength could stop him from winning! Let's chant his name!"

"Matou Shinji!"

"Shinji-kun!"

"Let those old antiques see the strength of mortals!"

"Matou Shinji! We will win!"

Facts have proved that as long as you are strong enough, champion fans don’t care whether you are a sweet and soft girl or whether your deck is insidious. Shinji Matou appeared in the spotlight with absolute popularity advantage.

The blue seaweed-haired girl looked at the crowded auditorium with an expression of extraordinary enjoyment.

"I came here for only one purpose," Matou Shinji raised his hand and pointed to the sky. "To prove that I am the best in this magic ceremony! I am also the most talented magician among all magicians. I will definitely win the championship!"

Chapter 133 Illya: Toosaka Rin, you want to compete with me too?

“All the contestants have extremely strong confidence in themselves!”

Bai Mao opened the huge projection screen behind him. On it were the names of the various Masters and their own Servant. "Now it's time to draw lots. We will arrange the duel order based on the numbers drawn. Numbers 1 and 2 will form a group, and numbers 3 and 4 will form a group. The winner will then proceed to the final competition!"

"The draw is completely random, absolutely fair and just!"

Baimao said what she meant without changing her expression, but with her skin color, no one could tell even if she changed color.

"During this period, everyone can use their mobile phones to send a text message number to Fuyuki TV to vote for the contestant they support. If you can predict the winner, you will have the opportunity to win a pair of models of the winning team provided by Miss Medea's model shop!——"

"Won't this increase my workload?"

Medea's face paled slightly. While magic could be mass-produced quickly, a defective product like that was an insult to her craft. Furthermore, with at least half of Fuyuki's population focused on this matter, she would need to perform at least 10 magic tricks to achieve her goal.

"So you really treat me like a beast of burden, don't you?"

Seeing the distressed Medea, Jason secretly laughed at her, but Jason's expression was not lost on her, so Jason was given another electric shock and ordered to make the model manually.

"——Of course, the number is limited to 5000!"

Thankfully, Jiang You wasn't that wicked; he limited the prize draw to 5000. After first asking for the roof to be broken, and then for the window, Medea's favorability actually increased slightly.

"How dare you give away Illya's model!"

Minamoto no Raikou bit his lip. Her possessive nature prevented anyone else from owning Illya's model; she felt it was her mother's duty. But she had also promised Illya victory, and she felt torn. "How about... kill everyone who voted for me?"

The audience who voted for Minamoto no Raikou did not know that their lives would be threatened because of this vote.

The results came out very quickly.

First place: Illya. This is a bonus due to her being a local legend. Many people grew up hearing about her legend, and after meeting her in person, they fell in love with her even more. Of course, most viewers said that her appearance had nothing to do with her; they simply supported the local Heroic Spirit.

Second Place: Shinji Matou. The champion still lost to Desire. Although Shinji had been leading the points table and even defeated the legendary Cú Chulainn, he still ended up in second place by a narrow margin.

Third place: Toosaka Rin is a contestant who suddenly emerged. She has not accumulated any fans, and her current servant is an unknown modern Heroic Spirit. Most of her fans come from the remnants of Jason. She ranks third purely because Medea's votes are too low.

Fourth Place: The Legend of Medea is a demerit for her. Jason already had a significant fan base, especially for his performance against Gilgamesh. Therefore, her enslavement of Jason doesn't earn her a high rating. Perhaps without Minamoto no Raikou, her wifely appearance would have attracted a significant number of fans.

"Alright, the results of the contestants' draws are in. Whether you're satisfied with the results or not, they've already been decided. Perhaps there are some counter-responses between decks, but luck is also a part of strength. Let's reveal the answer!"

"Number 1 is Tousaka Rin, number 2 is Illya, number 3 is Medea, and number 4 is Matou Shinji!"

Baimao unfolded the lots drawn by each contestant one by one. Jiang You finally made some secret adjustments. Medea had just worked overtime again. If she didn't take a break, she would have to return directly to the Throne of Heroes.

"Well then, the first match will be between Rin Tousaka and Illya!"

As Baimao spoke, the space began to distort. The blocks where Toosaka Rin and Illya were located were automatically spliced ​​together. The floating blocks created an arena for the battles between the heroic spirits. The soul crystal appeared in the center of the sky like the sun, emitting a bright and soft light.

Then, a huge screen that everyone can see clearly shows the artistic photo of the two of them with the heroic spirit (made by Baimao) and their current health as the background.

The bizarre visual experience made the audience exclaim in amazement, and they exclaimed that it was worth the price of admission even if it meant death.

In short, Medea has worked really hard.

【LP 4000 Tousaka Rin VS Illya LP 4000】

"Actually, I'd rather have a duel with Medea first. If she loses to the harmless Shinji-kun, then I won't have a chance to take revenge on her."

Rin Tohsaka looked at Illya and said this. The three great families had been fighting each other for over two hundred years, and they had never felt they would lose to the other two. Therefore, Rin Tohsaka clearly expressed her determination to win.

"You call that guy harmless?"

Illya glanced at Shinji Matou who was sitting alone on the floating block. For some reason, she felt a sense of commonality with Shinji Matou, which gave her goosebumps.

She had met Matou Shinji once before when she was looking for Sakura. A guy like him who was so arrogant when things went his way and so timid when they went against him couldn't be considered harmless. If she gave him the chance, she didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause.

"Besides, I don't think your Tohsaka family can defeat our Einzbern family. You know, the number of duels that Caster and I have experienced together is higher than all of you combined."

Illya took the initiative to issue a duel invitation, and the duel space opened up.

"As expected, you also met him ten years ago."

Rin Tōsaka sighed, not knowing why she hadn't had such a miraculous experience. However, her father in that timeline survived, and Sakura left the Matou family early on. She must have been happier in that timeline. "Sakura's right, I do have to thank him."

Thinking of this, Toosaka Rin's expression softened.

Hearing this, Illya showed even deeper hostility.

"Now I have one more reason why I can't lose."

Minamoto no Raikou sensed Illya's thoughts, drew his own sword and released her purple lightning as a cheer.

"Leave it to mom. Mom will definitely cut into pieces all the obstacles that stand in your way!"

Looking at the tense situation, Red A couldn't help laughing. He could probably guess what Illya meant: "Rin, it seems she misunderstood something."

"Stop talking nonsense and let the duel begin!"

Illya yelled, "It's time to flip a coin!"

This time, the duel changed the previous rule of whoever spoke first got the first move, making it more fair. The two sides decided the order of who would go first and who would go first based on a coin tossed by the organizer, which had the portraits of the two main combatants printed on it.

Baimao threw the gold coin out, and the gold coin jumped on the ground, making a crisp sound.

When the gold coins stopped, everyone could see the portrait on them clearly. It was a girl with twin ponytails.

"The first player is—Tousaka Rin!"

Chapter 134: Who has entered the cemetery the most times in this book?

"Then I'll take the initiative!"

Toosaka Rin skillfully drew five cards from the top of the deck.

"First, I activate [Gallows Crowned as the Chief Sinner], sending a Servant of level 4 or lower from the deck to the graveyard. I send [Emiya Kiritsugu] to the graveyard and add an [Emiya] from the deck to my hand. Due to the effect of [Emiya Kiritsugu], I add an [Origin Bullet] to my hand."

"Next, I Normal Summon [Emiya]!"

At Toosaka Rin's call, Red A jumped into the battle area, and now everyone knew Red A's name.

【Emiya】Attack power 2000.

"Emiya?"

Illya looked at the tall man. He had the same name as her father, but there was no resemblance between his eyebrows. Considering that Baimao said he was still a high school student, the answer was obvious.

"You are Emiya Shirou, right? Should I also call you: my good brother?"

This wasn't a live broadcast with a delay, so Red A had no time to stop it. Now everyone heard Emiya Shirou's words clearly. Thus, Red A successfully lost his vest in front of everyone.

"I've been wanting to say this for a while now. Is there really any point in hiding your name in front of Caster's Noble Phantasm?"

Toosaka Rin looked at Red A with raised eyes.

All the classmates who were familiar with Shirou Emiya looked at him. Fujimura Taiga put his arms around Shirou Emiya's neck and said, "I didn't expect you to be so successful. It seems you will do a lot of great things in the future!"

The corners of Shirou Emiya's mouth twitched. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have come to watch the fight, but would have fled Fuyuki directly. It was foreseeable that his future life would be constantly harassed by people from all sides. His future self would really cause trouble for himself.

Red A gave Emiya Shirou a look that said, "May the best be for you," and then turned to Illya: "I have merely inherited the remaining wishes of that man."

He recalled that during the years he and Emiya Kiritsugu had been together, Emiya Kiritsugu had indeed never mentioned Illya's existence to him. This was indeed somewhat unreasonable.

Fortunately, Kiritsugu Emiya in this timeline was dead and had no evidence, so he decided to make up a white lie.

"That man kept calling your name before he died, but he never told me your specific situation. He was probably worried that I wasn't capable enough to get you out."

"Really? Then may I ask Emiya Shirou-san, is what he said true?"

If it weren't for the experience ten years ago, Illya would have confronted Shirou Emiya immediately, so she is very familiar with him. Moreover, Shirou Emiya didn't react to her appearance in the church. You know, her appearance is very recognizable.

The image on the big screen also immediately locked onto Shirou Emiya in the audience.

"Ah? Ah! Yes! Yes!"

Emiya Shirou really didn't expect the topic to turn to him. He glanced at Red A and said, "Kiritsugu held my hand and kept calling Illya. He was always thinking about you when he was alive and often mentioned you to me."

"So why didn't he come to pick me up? Who stopped him? How old am I now?"

Illya had already known the truth from Jiang You a long time ago. Although she still resented Kiritsugu, she had let it go. She accepted that her father was a righteous man.

"This……"

Red A covered his face. It was impossible for Shirou Emiya to know these things.

"I look gullible, don't I?"

Illya narrowed her eyes and pointed at herself. She could see that Red A wanted to make her feel better, but because two important people in her life had not kept their promises in a row, she didn't like liars very much.

"That guy burned his brain out because he was obsessed with his righteous companions. You too, you, righteous companions or something, are not as important as family!"

"Really? Is it so hard to call someone sister?"

Illya felt very bored. She originally wanted to surpass Red A in terms of seniority, but Red A mentioned that man again, which made her lose interest.

The audience said that it was worth it to watch the duel and eat melons! However, there was no synopsis, so it was hard to understand the melons.

"Now that you've become a Heroic Spirit, you should at least tone down your good-natured ways."

Toosaka Rin helped Red A change the subject, "The duel continues. I activate the effect of [Tousaka Rin], discard a [Gem] Magic, and Special Summon it on the field!"

【Tousaka Rin】Attack power 1200.

"And then there's [Emiya]'s effect! You can activate this by discarding a card from your hand, and equipping an Equip Spell Card to yourself."

"What I want to equip is——【Jewel Sword Zelrich】!"

Toosaka Rin LP 4000 → LP 4250.

Illya LP 4000 → LP 3750.

[Emiya] Attack: 2000 → 2500

"Doesn't this equipment require the exclusion of one [Tōsaka]..."

Illya soon found out where the [Tosaka] in the cemetery came from.

"That's right, Emiya discarded [Tōsaka Nagato]! When sent to the graveyard by the effect of the ancestor, retrieve a [Gem] magic from the deck! I'm going to add [Inherited Gem Necklace]!"

"Then, the effect of [Jewel Sword] searches the deck for all Jewel Magic cards except my own! I add [Black Jewel Magic] to my hand!"

"[Black Gem] effect, pay 2000 LP to place three Gem Magic cards in the Graveyard, then retrieve a [Ruby Magic]!"

Toosaka Rin LP 4250 → LP 2250 → LP 2500.

Illya LP 3750 → LP 3500.
