Waver: "Professor, you're a bit too quick to ahese questions."
Keh: "Hmph, that's because I already khe answer."
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Ah, I see. You must have predicted this when you answered the st question."
Chihiro: "Well, it was about your own as."
Keh's fidence was certainly surprising, he'd answered so quickly, even Chihiro hadn't expected it.
---
[The video resumed, showing the exterior of Einzbern Castle.]
["Boil… my blood," Keh said as he poured a silvery liquid from a vial onto the ground, whied a shimmering sphere of mercury that encased him as he walked toward the castle.]
["The head of the Archibald family, Keh El-Melloi, has e to pay a visit," he announced, his voice filled with disdain.]
[Kehen arrogantly pushed the castle doors open, only to be immediately engulfed in an explosion, one of Emiya Kiritsugu's traps.]
---
Tohsaka Rin: "Keh, even I see something was wrong with that situation. Were you really this reckless?"
Keh: "Hmph! Don't pare your simple uanding to my level, child."
Keh: "For the record, a mere explosion of that level couldn't harm me in the slightest."
Waver: "Holy… he's right."
---
[The smoke from the explosion cleared, showih standing unharmed behind the protective barrier of his mercury-based Mystic Code Volumen Hydrargyrum.]
["Using such lowly traps… this only proves that the Einzbern have fallen from grace," Keh sneered, barely aowledging the bst.]
Tohsaka Rin: "Incredible! That mercury… it's like a living armor."
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Is that a Mystic Code? I've never seen anything like it. Did you craft it yourself?"
Keh: "Of course. Only someone of my skill could create something so refined."
Keh: "Do you see now, Kiritsugu? True maginot be tered by your pitiful tricks."
Emiya Kiritsugu: "…"
---
[In the castle above, Kiritsugu watched Keh's approa a monitor, then quickly shut it off and prepared to leave. But Keh, surrounded by his mercury, breached the floor and emerged directly in front of him.]
[The two men locked eyes, and an intetle erupted, with Keh's mercury barrier dominating the close-quarters fight. Despite using his Iime trol to boost his speed, Kiritsugu couldn't pee Keh's defeh ventional bullets.]
[Realizing his usual tactics weren't effective, Kiritsugu drew his final on a single-shot pistol known as the "Thompson tender." He poi at Keh and pulled the trigger.]
[The video paused.]
---
[Question: What was the oute of this battle?]
---
Keh: "Well, obviously I won."
---
[Ding! Keh's answer is incorrect. 1 Saint Quartz will be deducted.]
---
Chihiro: "Keh speed doesn't always mean accuracy."
Keh: "This is ridiculous! There's no way a sdrel like Emiya Kiritsugu could defeat me. I'm certaitle ended inclusively, with Kiritsugu esg."
---
[Ding! Keh's answer is incorrect. 1 Saint Quartz will be deducted.]
---
Waver: "Professor, maybe… it's best to slow down?"
Chihiro: "He's right. Don't lose all the Saint Quartz you earned by rushing."
Emiya Kiritsugu: "I won."
---
[Ding! Emiya Kiritsugu has answered part of the question correctly, earning 1 Saint Quartz.]
---
Emiya Kiritsugu: "The system only gave me partial credit… Looks like it wants specifics."
Chihiro: "Emiya Kiritsugu mao defeat Keh, but Diarmuid arrived and rescued him before things went too far."
---
[Ding! gratutions to Chihiro for answering the question correctly. 3 Saint Quartz awarded.]
---
Waver: "So that's what happened. Given Diarmuid's loyalty, it makes sense he would rush to Keh's side if he were in danger."
Diarmuid: "Indeed. As long as I draw breath, I will defend my lord to the death."
Keh: "No… this 't be!"
Keh could hardly accept it, defeated by Kiritsugu and then needing to be saved by his own Servant. For someone who prided himself on being a "age," losing to a "lowly merary" like Kiritsugu was unthinkable.
Emiya Kiritsugu wasly thrilled, either. His victory here meant his secret on might soon be exposed.
---
[The video resumed.]
[Kiritsugu fired the single shot, and trary to Keh's expectations, the bullet passed through the mercury barrier and struck his left shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain.]
[Stunned and enraged, Keh anded his mercury to strike, but Kiritsugu quickly raised his M950 again and fired a burst, f Keo cover himself with the mercury barrier while Kiritsugu escaped down a nearby corridor.]
["This… this is impossible… my Marrow of the Moon Spirit 't be peed," Keh muttered, holding his wounded shoulder in disbelief.]
["I was careless. His attacks seemed simple, so I uimated him. ime, I'll be prepared."]
---
Keh: "I see… so that gun was ented. A Mystic Code of its own."
Waver: "It's the first time I've seen a gun used like that. Kiritsugu really has his own brand of magecraft."
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Kiritsugu's methods may be unventional, but they're clearly effective."
---
[Determio retaliate, Keh tio chase Kiritsugu through the castle, his anger growing with each step. His mercury barrier tore through walls as he searched for his oppo.]
["You filthy scum of a mage, daring to make me bleed… you will pay dearly for this insult," Keh fumed as he hunted Kiritsugu down.]
[Their chase tihrough multiple rooms and hallways, with Kiritsugu setting traps along the way to dey Keh.]
[Keh's mercury barrier protected him from further harm, but each trap he entered left him seething with rage.]
---
Chihiro: "Keh, this is what the Holy Grail War is really like. ly what you expected, is it?"
Chihiro: "And you really o work on keeping your posure. You got injured once, and you're losing your mind out there."
Keh: "Silence! What would a child like you uand?"
Keh: "Emiya Kiritsugu… he's nothing but a cowardly rat. I…"
Keh was too furious to finish his senteill uo accept the way Kiritsugu's tactics had humiliated him.
