Chapter 10: Luck

  [Diarmuid, the Knight of the Lake, the Troupe of Acrobats, and Matou Kariya teamed up to form three correct pairs and earhree Saint Quartz.]

  Well, three groups, it was evident that this question wasn't in favor of the Heroic Spirits.

  After all, the Masters knew which Servants they were pnning to summon, giving them ara answer, while the Heroic Spirits didn't have any insight into who would summon them.

  As for Matou Kariya, a partit in the Fourth War, he had only mao ahree pairs correctly. That indicated he hadn't been able to guess the roups accurately.

  At this moment, Matou Kariya felt rather helpless.

  He had just returo Fuyuki and hadn't even gone back to the Matou estate after firming Sakura was safe. He had no idea which Heroic Spirit he would end up summoning.

  So, iy, he had simply made a lucky guess for one.

  ---

  [Gilgamesh, Artoria, King of querors, Tohsaka Tokiomi, Keh, Kotomine Kirei, Tohsaka Rin, and Tohsaka Sakura mao form five correct pairs, earning 5 Saint Quartz.]

  ---

  "You missed two pairs?" Tokiomi frowned.

  Sihe correswers hadn't been revealed yet, he couldn't pinpoint where he had gone wrong.

  ---

  [Waver mao ect six pairs and earned 6 Saint Quartz.]

  ---

  King of querors: "Oh my, little Master, you're quite impressive."

  ---

  Waver: "Not bad, just a bit of luck."

  ---

  [Mage Killer and Chihiro matched all pairs correctly and earned 7 Saint Quartz, plus a bonus.]

  ---

  Keh: "What?! How did you mahat?!"

  Getting all seven pairs correct wasn't something that could be attributed to mere luck.

  ---

  Chihiro: "Hehe, I just went with my instincts."

  ---

  What could he say? It was because he had watched the events of the Fourth Holy Grail War in Fate/Zero and was familiar with the details.

  However, Emiya Kiritsugu's perfect score did surprise him.

  Chihiro khe answers from experience, but Kiritsugu had to rely entirely on guesswork. The fact that he had guessed correctly was ued.

  In truth, there was some luvolved in Emiya Kiritsugu getting all the answers right.

  He had deduced some pairs based on observations:

  - Waver and the King of querors, and the disturbing duo of Ryuunosuke and Bluebeard, were straightforward.

  - Kiritsugu had already known that he would summon Artoria, so that was also easy.

  - He inferred the e between Gilgamesh and Tohsaka Tokiomi based on Tokiomi's ge in attitude tilgamesh after the tter ged his dispy name.

  For the remaining Heroic Spirits:

  - Diarmuid's identity was already known.

  - The Troupe of Acrobats was clearly Assassin.

  - The remaining armored knight, who was shrouded in mystery, was undoubtedly Berserker. There was no way Diarmuid could be Berserker.

  Based on his observations of Keh, Kiritsugu reasohat someone as prideful as the Lord El-Melloi would not summon an Assassin or Berserker, making it likely that Diarmuid was his Servant.

  As for the other two, Kiritsugu pced his bets based on intuition.

  He had a nagging feeling that Kotomine Kirei articurly dangerous, leading him to believe that the man's Servant was Assassin.

  Thus, the final Berserker must have been summoned by Matou Kariya.

  ---

  The system proceeded to reveal the correswers.

  ---

  [Waver's Servant is Iskandar, Rider.]

  ---

  [Tohsaka Tokiomi's Servant is Gilgamesh, Archer.]

  ---

  [Emiya Kiritsugu's Servant is Artoria, Saber.]

  ---

  [Keh's Servant is Diarmuid, Lancer.]

  ---

  [Matou Kariya's Servant is the Knight of the Lake, Berserker.]

  ---

  [Kotomine Kirei's Servant is the Troupe of Acrobats, Assassin.]

  ---

  [Uryuu Ryuunosuke's Servant is Bluebeard, Caster.]

  ---

  [Chihiro failed to summon a Servant in time and was uo participate.]

  ---

  Chihiro's face darkened.

  So that's why the system initially referred to him as "Background Character." He really was just a supp role in all of this.

  ---

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "So, it wasn't King Arthur that Keh summoned."

  Now he uood where his mistake y. He had fused the Servants summoned by Emiya Kiritsugu ah.

  ---

  Waver: "Wow, I definitely overthought this."

  Waver had initially assumed the se of Chihiro failing to summon a Servant was a deliberate misdire, so he had assighe Troupe of Acrobats to Chihiro. Little did he know, he was simply overplig matters.

  However, the question did offer one advahey now khe identities of the other partits' Servants.

  People like Emiya Kiritsugu ah were already sidering whether or not to ge their summoning relics.

  Kiritsugu had inally po have Irisviel pose as Artoria's Master while he hid in the shadows, ready to strike at the right moment. Now that his strategy had been exposed, he would have to adjust his pns.

  ---

  [The first question is over. The sed question will now begin.]

  ---

  Waver: "Huh? So soon? There's no time to rest?"

  ---

  Keh: "Hmph, you need a break after just one question? You really are pathetic."

  ---

  Waver: "Uh…"

  Keh was stantly on the lookout for ces to belittle Waver, especially in situations like this.

  ---

  [Essay question. Please watch the following video carefully, then ahe corresponding question.]

  ---

  The video began to py.

  ---

  [Three individuals stood atop a shipping tai Fuyuki City's harbazing at the distant bridge.]

  ---

  [The two people fnking the tall, long-haired man in the middle were Keh and Waver.]

  ---

  Waver: "Wait, who is that?"

  ---

  Keh: "I'm not sure… but he looks oddly familiar."

  ---

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Are there other ued parties getting involved in the Holy Grail War?"

  ---

  Chihiro instantly reized the footage.

  "Isn't this from the promotional animation for "Fate/Accel Zero Order"?"

  ---

  [The se shifted to the sky above the bridge, where a purple-haired girl holding a shield desded from above. tless golden projectiles shot towards her—Gilgamesh's treasures.]

  ---

  [A series of explosions followed as a red object emerged from the smoke.]

  ---

  [It was the Knight of the Lake piloting a fighter jet, rushing to the girl's aid. However, Gilgamesh pursued closely in his Vimana.]

  ---

  Keh: "A Heroic Spirit piloting a fighter jet?!"

  ---

  Waver: "This is… a pletely new experiene."

  ---

  Hero King: "Hahahaha, behold, you mongrels! Withe grandeur of my power!"

  The group had already grown aced to Gilgamesh's arrogand chose to ignore his antics.

  ---

  Magus Killer: "Is this another unfamiliar partit?"

  ---

  Waver: "That girl must be a Servant."

  ---

  Tohsaka Rin: "Her outfit definitely doesn't look like that of an ordinary person."

  ---

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "That's impossible. She isn't one of the seven Servants announced earlier."

  ---

  Artoria: "The shield she's wielding… could it be…?"

  Artoria was very familiar with that shield, but the girl holding it was not the wielder she remembered.
