Chapter 11: Two Big Pitfalls

  ---

  [With lightning fshing, the se shifts to the bottom of the bridge.]

  [Iskandar is seen driving his Gordius Wheel across the water. He seems to spot somethiing and grins widely.]

  [The perspective ges, revealing a strange figure with a dark body lying in front of the wheels of Iskandar's chariot.]

  [The figure looks up at Iskandar, fshing a set oldeh.]

  ---

  Waver: "Oh my god, who is this dark guy?"

  ---

  Tohsaka Rin: "Father, this must be a Heroic Spirit."

  ---

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "..."

  He couldn't refute it. After all, the dark figure in the video didn't resemble a normal human.

  ---

  Keh: "Could it be a Heroic Spirit from Africa?"

  ---

  King of querors: "Hahaha, so it's him after all."

  Iskandar had reized the identity of the dark figure, though he uzzled about why this person appeared in the Holy Grail War. After all, he wasn't one of the Seven Csses.

  ---

  [The se shifts again, this time to the other side of the bridge. Irisviel and Artoria are watg the battle taking pce above.]

  [A man in a red cloak, his body ed in bandages, suddenly leaps from the woods behind them and aims a dagger at Irisviel.]

  [The video ends here.]

  ---

  "Who is that?"

  Seeing someoempting to assassinate Irisviel, Emiya Kiritsugu immediately became alert. The surprise attack with a dagger suggested the assaint was likely an Assassin.

  But why did that figure seem so familiar?

  ---

  [Question: How many Masters and Servants appeared in the video?]

  ---

  Waver: "Why is it another analysis question?"

  ---

  Keh: "What are you whining about? pared to the st question, this one is much easier."

  ---

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Yes, the Masters and Servants in the video are quite obvious."

  ---

  "Easy? Haha…" Chihiro nearly ughed out loud.

  This question had two signifit pitfalls, which would certainly make many partits in the group fail.

  ---

  [Time is up. The quiz is now over.]

  ---

  [Now, let's reveal the answers.]

  The characters eared in the previous video began to dispy on the s, each apanied by a brief introdu.

  ---

  [The three individuals from the first se, left tht, are: Waver Velvet, the Master; El-Melloi II (Zhuge Liang), a Pseudo-Servant; Keh El-Melloi Archibald, the Master.]

  ---

  Keh: "Wait! El-Melloi II? What oh?!"

  Keh was the current head of the El-Melloi family, so how could there suddenly be an "El-Melloi II"? Moreover, what was this "Zhuge Liang" and "Pseudo-Servant" nonsense?

  Zhuge Liang was the rerategist from a's Three Kingdoms era. The whole situation was baffling, and not just for Keh, roup members were also perplexed by this "El-Melloi II."

  ---

  [The three individuals from the sed se are: Mash Kyrielight, a Demi-Servant; the Knight of the Lake, a Servant; Gilgamesh, a Servant.]

  ---

  Waver: "Demi-Servant? Where did this Demi-Servant e from?"

  They hadn't even fully grasped the cept of a Pseudo-Servant, and now there was talk of a Demi-Servant.

  ---

  Artoria: "Mash Kyrielight… Did I guess wrong? No!"

  No, she was certain she reized the shield Mash carried. There was no mistaking it.

  ---

  [The two individuals from the third se are: Iskandar, a Servant; Darius III, a Servant.]

  ---

  King of querors: "Hahaha, it's him after all."

  ---

  Waver: "Darius III… Isn't he…?"

  ---

  King of querors: "Yes, he was a formidable oppo during my quests."

  ---

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Darius III, the st king of the Achaemenid Dynasty of Persia. But why does he look so dark?"

  ---

  King of querors: "I have no idea. He didn't look like that when I defeated him."

  ---

  Chihiro: "Did he get a tan while waiting ihrone of Heroes?"

  ---

  Waver: "Do you think the Throne of Heroes is some sort of vacation spot?"

  ---

  [The three individuals from the fourth se are: Irisviel von Einzbern, the Master; Artoria Pendragon, the Servant; Emiya (Assassin), the Servant.]

  ---

  "Assassin?!"

  Emiya Kiritsugu felt as if his mind had been struck.

  The red-cloaked figure had seemed familiar to him, and now he knew why. It was himself! Even though the man's face was ed in bandages, Kiritsugu wouldn't mistake his own silhouette and bat style.

  But why was he attag Irisviel?

  Wait… that version of him was a Heroic Spirit?

  He had bee a Heroic Spirit?

  Yet, even if he had somehow ended up as a Heroic Spirit, why was he trying to kill Irisviel? The i in the video was unmistakable, it wasn't an act; the other "him" was genuinely attempting to assassinate her.

  Something didn't add up. Irisviel was listed as the Master in the video.

  That shouldn't be possible. Although he had pnned for Irisviel to act as Artoria's "Master" to deceive the others, Kiritsugu was still the true Master. The system shouldn't have made su error.

  After all, the seven Masters of the Fourth Holy Grail War had beeablished in the previous questio now a new Master had appeared. Was there a tradi, or did Irisviel have a different Servant tract?

  ---

  [There are 4 Masters and 8 Servants in this video.]

  ---

  Waver: "Four Masters?"

  ---

  Waver: "No, shouldn't it be three?"

  ---

  [El-Melloi II serves as both a Master and a Servant.]

  ---

  Keh: "What is the meaning of this? Expin yourself."

  ---

  Keh: "And who exactly is El-Melloi II?"

  ---

  [The term "Pseudo-Servant" refers to a Heroic Spirit that uses a human body as a vessel. The Heroic Spirit possesses the individual and grants them its powers. Typically, the sciousness of the Heroic Spirit dominates, with the human host in a dormant state. However, El-Melloi II is an exception. His human sciousness remains in trol while the spirit of Zhuge Liang is in a dormant state, with only the Heroic Spirit's power being accessible.]

  [Thus, El-Melloi II funs as both a Master and a Servant.]

  ---

  Everyone was stunned upon hearing the system's expnation.

  ---

  Waver: "Is that even possible?"

  ---

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: " humans truly gain the powers of Heroic Spirits? Is such a thing really feasible?"
