[You have five mio answer. Start now.]
Among the six images, option D seemed the most pusible, but given that this was a multiple-choice question, it was likely that more than one answer would be correct. The challenge y in figuring out which other options could qualify.
The remaining images presented figures that appeared distinct from the Artoria who had been shown in the previous questions. The st two options, in particur, depicted characters who seemed entirely different.
Still, doubt lingered among partits like Waver ah. Could the answer be that simple?
---
[Time's up. The quiz is over.]
---
With various analyses and theories exged, five minutes flew by.
---
[Now, let's reveal the answers.]
---
The images reappeared, this time apanied by descriptions below eae.
---
[A: King Arthur's son, the final knight of the Round Table, the rebellious knight, Mordred.]
---
Waver: "So that's King Arthur's son. No wohe resembnce is s."
---
He was gd he hadn't chosen option A. Although Mordred and Artoria had simir facial features, the differen demeanor arent.
---
[B: The fifth emperor of a Rome, the Flower of Olympia, Nero Cudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus.]
---
Keh: "Wait, this is Nero?! The infamous tyrant?"
---
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "I didn't expect that yet another historical figure would have a different gehan recorded."
---
Waver: "At this point, I'm starting to doubt all the history books I've read."
---
Keh: "But why would the Emperor of Rome look like King Arthur?"
---
The historical flict between Rome and Britain was well-known, with Nero's suppression of Queen Boudica's rebellion marking a signifit point of tention. The notion that Artoria could resemble the emperor who had once cshed with Britain was baffling. (Note: Nern preceded Artoria's time by several decades.)
Even Artoria herself found this perplexing.
---
[C: The legendary figure of Frahe Holy Maiden, Jeanne d'Arc.]
---
Bluebeard: "Ah! My saint! I knew I wasn't mistaken!"
---
Waver: "So the 'saint' you've been raving about is Jeanne d'Arc?"
---
Keh: "I see. I believe I've figured out who you are, Bluebeard."
---
He had looked up the name "Bluebeard" and found refereo a deranged nobleman from the inal Grimm's Fairy Tales. It eculiar to see a fial character as a Heroic Spirit.
Now that it was clear Bluebeard had an obsession with Jeanne d'Arc, everything fell into pce.
This madman was the infamous Gilles de Rais, the historical figure who desded into depravity following Jeanne's death. He had reportedly killed hundreds of children in his quest for alchemy before being executed.
Other Masters in the group came to the same clusion.
---
[D: A figure from a mysterious alterimelihe parallel world terpart of Artoria, known as the Mysterious Heroine X.]
---
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Another parallel world?"
---
Keh: "What exactly is 'mysterious heroine-X'?"
---
Waver: "So, this is Artoria after all."
---
Chihiro: "Of course it ts. The system did specify it's a parallel world version of Artoria."
---
[E: In an alternate world, Artoria did not draw the Sword of Sele as a young girl but instead chose the Holy Lance 'Rhongomyniad' as her on. Her growth tinued unimpeded, allowio mature physically to match her role as a monarch. Having wielded the nany years, she became a being akin to a diviy.]
---
Artoria: "????"
---
Waver: "So this is King Arthur from a different timeline!"
---
Tohsaka Rin: "The difference is enormous."
---
King of querors: "Haha! That's nothing unusual. I looked quite different when I was young."
---
Waver: "How different?"
---
King of querors: "I was what you'd call a beautiful young man."
---
Waver: "A beautiful young man? You?"
---
It wasn't that Waver didn't believe him, but it was hard to picture the colossal, bearded Iskandar as a youthful, handsome man.
---
[F: The male terpart of Artoria in a parallel world, known as the Star Sword Master, Arthur Pendragon.]
---
"!!!"
The group was collectively stunned.
---
Waver: "A male King Arthur?! So, he really exists?"
---
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "It seems we've all been misled…"
---
Tohsaka Rin: "Haha, I'm rusting this system's information again."
---
Waver: "This questiht back memories of exam nightmares."
---
[The correswers are D, E, and F.]
---
[gratutions to Chihiro for earning 5 Saint Quartz.]
---
[Bluebeard chose not to ahis question.]
---
[All other partits answered incorrectly and will lose 1 Saint Quartz.]
---
Waver: "Chihiro, you actually got it right!"
---
Chihiro: "I just used reverse psychology and picked the least likely options."
---
Chihiro: "That's my secret to passing exams."
---
Waver: "What kind of strategy is that…?"
---
Keh: "Hmph. If you had enough time for reverse thinking, why didn't you just study harder?"
---
Chihiro: "Do you really think you answer questions in this group just by studying?"
---
Keh: "..."
---
[In this round, Chihiro has the highest score, followed by Emiya Kiritsugu, with Waver in third. They will receive gold, silver, and broreasure chests, respectively.]
---
[Today's quiz has cluded. It will resume tomorrow.]
---
Waver: "These questions really threw me for a loop."
---
Keh: "Ihere was far too muew information."
---
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Waver, what did you get in your treasure chest?"
---
Waver: "Uh…"
---
Waver: "Wait, why should I tell you?"
---
Matou Kariya: "Hmph. Tohsaka Tokiomi, you're still the same hypocrite, trying to extraformation from others for your own be."
---
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "And what gives you the right to speak here, Kariya? You're not even a prus."
---
Matou Kariya: "Oh, but I am now. I'm a magus, after all."
---
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Don't be ridiculous. You don't even have a magic circuit."
