Chapter 87: Exceptional Servant

  [Waver, Kayh, Iskandar, El-Melloi II, So-ui, Brynhildr, and the First Emperor correctly identified 10 Servants and earned 10 Saint Quartz.]

  Waver: "Wow, I mao get so many correct this time by following Rider!"

  Iskandar: "Hahaha! I told you, there's no problem leaving it to me!"

  Artoria: "You got 10 correct? Is your luck that high?"

  Iskandar: "Of course! My luck is A+!"

  Artoria: "What? A+ luck!"

  Tohsaka Rin: "Wow, that's eveer than Gilgamesh."

  Iskandar: "Naturally. Uhe golden one, I'm truly favored by fortune."

  Gilgamesh: "Hmph, what's the point of luck if it doesn't trao victory?"

  Chihiro: "Wow, so salty..."

  Ishtar: "Yeah, I smell the bitterness."

  Tohsaka Rin: "But wait. If your luck is so high, why was your accuracy so low before this?"

  Iskandar: "Ah, well, that's because I usually followed Waver's choices."

  Waver: "Alright, from now on, all the multiple-choice questions are your responsibility."

  Iskandar: "Hahaha, don't rely oirely, boy! Where's your adventurous spirit?"

  [Chihiro, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Zhang Jiao, and Sigurd correctly identified 12 Servants and earned 12 Saint Quartz.]

  Waver: "Well, looks like someone's luck is eveer!"

  Iskandar: "Chihiro, you're truly enviable. Only tw? Incredible."

  Chihiro: "Thank you, thank you."

  Chihiro had iionally chosen tw ao avoid drawing too much attention.

  [The correswers are as follows.]

  [Red Team: Saber Mordred, Archer Atanta, Lancer Karna, Rider Achilles, Caster Shakespeare, Berserker Spartacus, Assassin Semiramis.]

  [Bck Team: Saber Siegfried, Archer Chiron, Lancer Vd III, Rider Astolfo, Caster Avicebron, Berserker Fraein, Assassin Jack the Ripper.]

  Kayh: "Wait a minute! Semiramis is an Assassin?"

  Everyone was surprised, as Semiramis didn't fit the typical image of an Assassin.

  Waver: "How is she qualified as an Assassin?"

  Chihiro: "There's a legend about her. Semiramis poisoned her husband to seize the throne, making it the oldest recorded poisoning case in history. That's why she's often called the world's first poisoner."

  Waver: "Seriously? Just one poisoning is enough to qualify as an Assassin?"

  So-ui: "I guess so. Even if it's just one victim, it left a signifit impa her legacy."

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Indeed. It's likely the story was exaggerated over time, influeng her cssification as a Heroic Spirit."

  Kayh: "That makes sense."

  Chihiro: "Oh, by the way, there's another iing rumor—some say Semiramis is an ination of Ishtar."

  Ishtar: "Hah! That woma deserve to be pared to me!"

  Gilgamesh: "Hmph, you're all cut from the same cloth."

  Ishtar: "Quiet, you defeated loser!"

  Gilgamesh: "You insufferable woman, is that all you ever say to me?"

  Ishtar: "It's more than enough for you."

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Ahem, moving on… the Bck team's lineup seems weaker pared to the Red team."

  Kayh: "That's right. The Red side has heavyweights like Karna and Achilles, while the Bck side only has Siegfried as a major powerhouse. It's not banced."

  Waver: "Not necessarily. Take Chiron, for example. He's a wise hero who trained many Greek legends, including Achilles himself. His strength shouldn't be uimated."

  Kayh: "Even so, the gap betweewo teams is too signifit."

  So-ui: "Alright, alright. This is just a Holy Grail War in a parallel world. There's ue about it."

  Kayh: "True, true."

  Waver: "...Teacher, you ged your tone so quickly."

  Kayh: "Stop with the cheeky remarks!"

  [The sed question is over. Now we'll move on to the final question of the day.]

  [This is a multiple-choice question. Look at the following images a the third member of the "Golden Trio."]

  Chihiro immediately smiled. This was going to be an easy question.

  Waver: "Golden Trio? What does that mean?"

  [The Golden Trio refers to the three Servants sidered to be the pinnacle of Heroic Spirit power—the so-called 'exceptional Servants.']

  [The first two members of the Golden Triilgamesh and Karna.]

  Gilgamesh: "Hahaha! Do you hear that? This system aowledges my supremacy!"

  Gilgamesh: "Now, you mongrels have no grounds to question me anymore!"

  Ishtar: "Defeated loser."

  Gilgamesh: "You wretched woman!"

  Iskandar: "Well, as much as I hate to admit it, Gilgamesh is undeniably powerful."

  Artoria: "That's true. His strength ot be denied."

  Waver: "But Karna being in the same league… That's impressive."

  Kayh: "Exceptional Servants… so even Heroic Spirits have different tiers."

  [Option A: The First Emperor.]

  Kayh: "The First Emperor? He's undoubtedly an exceptional Servant."

  Chihiro: "Absolutely."

  The First Emperor: "Hmph, a Golden Trio? I'm fttered, but I've never cared fold."

  Tohsaka Rin: "What's your preferred color then?"

  The First Emperor: "Bck. In Qin culture, bck represents the highest honor."

  Tohsaka Rin: "That expins your attire."

  [Option B: Romulus.]

  The image showed a muscur man with blood-red pupils, a golden , a crimson cloak, and a distinctive red spear.

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Romulus, the founder of Rome!"

  Iskandar: "Hahaha! The legendary founder of Rome makes an appearance. How fitting!"

  Waver: "He looks formidable."

  Kayh: "As the son of Mars and the founder of an empire, he's undoubtedly a top-tier Servant."

  Tohsaka Rin: "Could he be the third member of the Golden Trio?"

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "It's certainly possible."

  [Option C: Atti.]

  The image depicted a white-haired woman in a flowing white dress, her crimson eyes glowing as she wielded a dazzling, multicolored sword.

  Waver: "Atti? Who's that?"

  Kayh: "Humph, have you udied history? This is why you're still an amateur."

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Erm… I'm not familiar with her either."

  So-ui: "Stop the p and just expin!"

  Kayh: "Atti the Hun, also known as the 'Sce of God,' was a brillia ruthless leader whht the Roman Empire to its knees. His military genius made him one of history's most feared figures."

  So-ui: "The Sce of God? That's her?"

  Tohsaka Rin: "So, she's the infamous Whip of God?"

  Kayh: "Precisely. Though, historically speaking, Atti was a ma here, she's portrayed as a woman."

  Waver: "Teacher, how are you still surprised by this at this point?"

  The First Emperor: "The Huns… A troublesome people, to say the least."

  The First Emperor's tourned grim as he reflected on his reign and the challenges posed by nomadic tribes like the Huns.

  Chihiro: "Ah, the 5th tury AD… What a chaotic time."
