[The time for answering questions has ended. Answers will now be announced.]

  [The video begins with Iskandar and his three panions sitting in the garden. It is actually the sequel to the st ba of the three kings.]

  Iskandar: "Oh, it's actually a follow-up to yesterday's video."

  Waver: "You all couldn't e to an agreement, so you started fighting?"

  Kayh: "Are you dense? None of the four servants iions appeared in the video."

  Iskandar: "Looks like someone's here to disrupt the se."

  ---

  ["Some muests have arrived. The struggle session is finally ing to an end."]

  [Iskandar put down his gss and murmured.]

  [Around the garden, figures wearing skull masks slowly emerged.]

  [Hassan of the Hundred Faces appears.]

  [The oppo's target is also very clear; it's the Master of the King of querors and Artoria.]

  Kayh: "It seems that the ao this question is also quite obvious."

  Artoria: "Is this your pn, King of Heroes?"

  Gilgamesh: "Hmph, the appearance of this rabble has nothing to do with me."

  Gilgamesh: "Tokiomi, is this your doing? How dare you adepely."

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "..."

  [Artoria moved to protect Irisviel, and Waver hurriedly hid behind Iskandar.]

  ["Rider, what should we do?"]

  ["Don't panic, boy. Whether or not a king receive guests gracefully also reflects his caliber."]

  Iskandar looked at the hundreds of Hassans surrounding him and said, "Everyone here is a guest. The words of a king are for all people of the world to hear. Whether you are friend or foe, if you e here with siy, feel free to take a seat."

  [Iskandar showed his magnanimity as a king.]

  [Chatting and ughing even with his enemies, he grahem the respect they deserved.]

  The First Emperor: "Not bad, queror King. Though not an emperor, you duct yourself like one."

  Iskandar: "Hahaha, I appreciate the pliment."

  [It was evident, however, that Hassan of the Hundred Faces had no i in Iskandar's invitation.]

  [They ignilgamesh, rushing toward the two Masters instead.]

  ["It seems you won't accept my hospitality. Then, you'll have to drink the cup of punishment."]

  [Iskandar stood up, and a tremendous wave of magical energy began to emanate from him.]

  [It was clear he was furious.]

  [What was meant to be a pleasant gathering had been spoiled, and his guest hadn't even honored him. Even a rge-hearted man like him couldn't help but be angered.]

  [Armor reappeared over his body, and gusts of hot wind billowed his cloak dramatically.]

  [This sudden ge made both Artoria and Irisviel sense something was amiss.]

  [How could such a hot and dry wind blow through a forest at night?]

  [This wind didn't seem to belong to a castle; it felt more like the scorg winds of a broad daylight desert.]

  Iskandar: "Assassin, you're quite the mood-killer."

  Chihiro: "Tokiomi, Kirei, sending Hassan of the Hundred Faces to the front lines? Are you tw to make a mockery of strategy?"

  Chihiro: "Fet it. Just leave the group already—you're dragging dowire level here."

  Kotomine Kirei: "..."

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "What do you know? This isn't a game."

  Chihiro: "Is that an excuse for your terrible deaking?"

  ["Saber, Archer, this will be the final question for this ba."]

  [Iskandar spoke loudly: "Let me ask, should a king be aloof? Or not?"]

  [Gilgamesh remained silent, letting his demeanor answer for him.]

  [Artoria solemnly responded: "If you are a king, you must be aloof."]

  ["It seems like you still don't uand…"]

  [Iskandar shook his head with a smile, saying, "Then I will show you what true kingship looks like!"]

  [Suddenly, a hot wind of unknown in began to erode the real world, blinding those caught in its force.]

  [When the wind subsided, everyone found themselves standing in the middle of a desert.]

  [The bzing sun bore down on the earth, and all that stretched before them was an endless ndscape of yellow sand.]

  Artoria: "This… is a reality marble!"

  Artoria: "King of querors, I didn't expect you to possess such a domain."

  Iskandar: "Hahaha, there's more to it than just that."

  Iskandar: "Look closely, at my army."

  Waver: "What are you so pleased about?"

  Waver: "Your trump card is being exposed right now."

  Iskandar: "I don't mind at all. This is a trivial matter."

  [Iskandar beamed with pride, expining, "This is the nd my army once marched through. The se forever engraved in the hearts of the warriors who shared my battles."]

  [To everyone's astonishment, figures began appearing in the distance behind Iskandar, marg across the desert sands.]

  [In no time, a vast army assembled behind him.]

  [Their orderly ranks, the sound of strong footsteps in unison, all veyed the formidable might of this military force.]

  [The army sisted of infantry, cavalry, and generals of all ranks.]

  [Eae, a loyal soldier of Iskandar's.]

  [These were the elite troops who had apanied him in his campaigns during his lifetime.]

  [Within this army were historic figures—Ptolemy I, founder of the Ptolemaiasty i; Seleucus I, founder of the Seleucid Empire; Antigonus I Monophthalmus, founder of the Antigonid dynasty; and Lysimachus, founder of the Agathocles dynasty.]

  [Now, they had bee heroic spirits, and some among them were even more formidable than Iskandar himself.]

  [After Iskandar's death, these individuals spent nearly 21 years dividing up the vast empire he had built, each establishing his own kingdom.]

  [But when Iskandar called them once more, they rallied without hesitation, filled with excitement to join their king again otlefield.]

  [Only one figure was missing—Hephaestion.]

  [The most loyal among Iskandar's panions, he rejected the call, refusing to associate with his former rades who had betrayed their king's legacy.]

  [Yet, Iskandar bore ne.]

  [Even among those present, there were some who had ter destroyed his lineage.]

  Kayh: "Summoning aire army… how are we supposed to ter this?!"

  Though he had allied with Waver and the others, Kayh had no idea about the full extent of Iskandar's forces.

  The other Masters were equally shocked by the se unfolding before them.

  Even Artoria couldn't be certain of her ces against Iskandar's immense army.

  [Iskandar unleashed his entire force upon Hassan of the Hundred Faces, which was akin to using a on to swat a fly.]

  [The army charged, and Hassan the Hundred Faces was obliterated without a trace of resistance.]

  [And so, Assassied the stage in disgrace.]

  [With the yellow sand fading, the moonlight returned, illuminating the courtyard of the Einzbern castle.]

  [The reality marble was lifted, and the se reverted to the peaceful courtyard.]

  [The correswer is C.]

  [gratutions to Chihiro, Gilgamesh, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Tohsaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei, Matou Kariya, Zhang Jiao, Red Hare, the First Emperor, and Sigurd for obtaining 5 Saint Quartz.]

  [Bluebeard chose not to ahis question.]

  [All other partits who answered incorrectly will have 1 Saint Quartz deducted.]

  Waver: "Ah, I thought it would be Bluebeard."

  Tohsaka Rin: "Me too. I figured someohat vile would be taken care of first."

  Kayh: "Who would have guessed Tohsaka Tokiomi would viote basic strategy and throw Hassan of the Hundred Faces into a suicide mission."

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

  [This segment will feature three secutive questions. Each question will allow 5 minutes for responses. All group members participate.]

  [Correswers earn 3 Saint Quartz, while incorreswers will result in the loss of 1 Saint Quartz. If no one answers correctly within 5 mihe question is void.]

  [Please watch the following video.]

  [The se shifts, featuring Ryuunosuke Uryuu and Bluebeard on a bridge, engaged iwisted ritual.]

  ["Old man, bring out something that would terrify even the gods!" Ryuunosuke shouted.]

  [Bluebeard, holding his grim spellbook, gave a kind smile and began ting, preparing for a summoning.]

  [A whirlpool began to form in the river below, growing rger and more ominous.]

  ["This is going to be amazing!" Ryuunosuke excimed.]

  Gilgamesh: "This degee never ges."

  Waver: "What oh is he trying to do?"

  Artoria: "Whatever it is, I doubt it's anything good."

  Zhang Jiao: "From the looks of it, he seems to be summoning something."

  Tohsaka Rin: "Aside from that disgusting sea demon, does this guy have other creatures he call on?"

  [The se cuts to Iskandar and Waver walking down a deserted street, illuminated by streetmps.]

  [Waver seems agitated, venting his frustrations.]

  [He expresses doubt, feeling that winning wouldn't bring any satisfa if he's merely following Iskandar's lead.]

  [Seeing this, Iskandar ughs and offers f words.]

  ["Do you see that endless sea? That's my goal, Waver."]

  Waver: "Endless sea… so that's what it symbolizes…"

  [It dawns on Waver what Iskandar truly means by "endless sea"—the limitless horizons he dreams of quering.]

  Iskandar: "Hahaha, seems like you were g a sense of dire, little master."

  [Suddenly, Iskandar's expression grows serious.]

  [He halts, sensing an immense surge of magical energy in the viity.]
