[D: The image shows a handsome man in a white robe adorned with golden ors, seated regally on a throne.]

  [Name: Ramses II.]

  Kayh: "This must be the pharaoh of a Egypt."

  Even someone like Kayh, known for his vast knowledge, admitted his unfamiliarity with this figure.

  Waver: "Not even you know about him, Professor?"

  Kayh: "Ahem, there will always be things beyond one's grasp. I'm not a historian, after all."

  Indeed, Kayh specialized in magecraft, not the a history of Egypt. For modern people, mention of Egyptian pharaohs usually brings to mind only two utankhamun and Cleopatra.

  Cleopatra, the st queen of a Egypt, was renowned as a beauty and remembered for her close ties with figures like Julius Caesar in the West. As for Tutankhamun, his fame came more from the infamous "Curse of the Pharaoh's Tomb" i in 1922 than any achievements during his shn.

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "I've looked into it. Ramses II's inal name was Ozymandias. He was the eenth pharaoh of a Egypt, revered as its greatest ruler."

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "He was a legendary figure, excelling as a politi, military leader, artist, and architect. A truly multi-talented individual."

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "In a Egypt, pharaohs were sidered the divine representatives of the gods. Yet Ramses II was the only one deemed equal to Ra, the Sun God."

  Tohsaka Tokiomi: "In fact, his name was revered even higher than that of the gods themselves."

  Iskandar: "What a remarkable man! To be so highly regarded in his time."

  Waver: "With such a great reputation, it's safe to assume his power as a Servant must be incredible."

  [You have five mio ahe question. Start answering now.]

  Waver scratched his head in frustration. "Ugh, these golden Servants are all so outstanding. How are we supposed to pick whie is the st of the three golden targets?"

  El-Melloi II: "I think the key to this question lies in the cept of 'gold.'"

  Kayh: "Indeed. Gilgamesh and Karna are both heavily associated with gold in their attire and legend."

  So-ui: "So we o narrow it down to those who wear golden ors."

  Waver: "In that case, robably elimihe First Emperor and Atti, leaving us with options B and D."

  El-Melloi II: "That means Romulus and Ramses II. It's a tough choice."

  Kayh: "How about we let Iskandar make the decision?"

  El-Melloi II: "Fair enough. His Majesty seems to have extraordinary luck. Let's see if it holds up here."

  Iskandar ughed boisterously. "Hahaha! Very well, my friends. Follow my lead!"

  Others began making their owions based on their reasoning.

  [The correswer is D.]

  [gratutions to Chihiro, Artoria, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, Matou Kariya, Tohsaka Rin, Tohsaka Sakura, So-ui, Zhang Jiao, Ishtar, the First Emperor, and Sigurd for earning 5 Saint Quartz.]

  [All others answered incorrectly. 1 Saint Quartz will be deducted.]

  The Lancer group was stunned.

  Waver: "Iskandar! Your luck didn't help us this time!"

  Iskandar: "Hmm, I suppose it's because I didn't rely on instind ihought too hard about it. I pced my faith in Romulus."

  Kayh: "Unbelievable! Iskandar, you fool."

  So-ui: "If we had just spread out our choices, someone in roup might have gotten it right."

  Waver sighed. "It seems no one replicate Chihiro's knack fetting these questiht."

  Chihiro chuckled softly. "It's really just luothing more."

  Waver g the tents of his broreasure chest—a simple mana potion. He sighed again, utterly unimpressed.

  The items obtained from broreasure chests were generally basic, though still somewhat useful. For example, Kayh and the others had pulled simir recovery potions. These potioored physical strength and enhahe body's natural healing, making them practical in dire situations. Mana potions, oher hand, could replenish a mage's depleted magical energy.

  Although the potions from treasure chests were of exceptional quality due to their magical ins, it was frustrating how rare it was to receive anything that directly increased one's bat strength. Waver articurly annoyed, hootions did they really need?

  Meanwhile, Chihiro prepared to open his daily treasure chest.

  "Ding! gratutions to the host for obtaining the 'Skill—Denial of Nothingness!'"

  As the golden treasure chest opened, a brilliant white light surged into Chihiro's mind. He was momentarily stunned. Another skill? And not just any skill—it was the legendary "Denial of Nothingness."

  After taking a moment to pose himself, Chihiro reviewed the new skill's details. What he discovered left him pletely shocked.

  The Denial of Nothingness was better known as the "First Magic."

  In the Nasuverse, there was a fual distin between magecraft and True Magic. Magecraft enpassed all magical teiques that modern humans could achieve through sd logic. True Magi the other hand, referred to the manipution of phenomena beyond human prehension, cepts defying the boundaries of sd reason.

  In aimes, when human civilization was in its infancy, magic was onpce. Back then, magecraft and True Magic were indistinguishable. However, as civilization advahe use of sce gradually repced the mysteries of magic, resulting in its dee. Now, only five forms of True Magic remained in the world, preserved by their respective iors.

  A famous nursery rhyme about these five magics existed in the magical world:

  At the beginning, the First ged all.

  , the Sed reized many.

  In ahe Third showed the future.

  Tethered, the Fourth cealed itself.

  And the final Fifth had long since lost its significe.

  This simple verse encapsuted the mysterious nature of the remaining True Magics. Of the five, only three had their effects and practitioners firmed in modern times:

  The Seagic, also known as the Kaleidoscope, governs parallel worlds. It allows its user, Kischur Zelretch Schwein, to observe and traverse alternate realities freely.

  The Third Magic, Heaven's Feel, deals with the materialization of the soul. Its ultimate goal is to achieve immortality by transf the soul into a physical form, allowing it to exist indefinitely without decay. This magic has been pursued feions by the Einzbern family, and the Holy Grail War itself was desigo fulfill this purpose.

  The Fifth Magiown simply as "Blue," governs time. It es practitioner, Aozaki Aoko, to reverse time and travel across its flow.

  As for the remaining two, their practitioners a effects remained shrouded in mystery. The First Magiow grao Chihiro was one of the oldest and most enigmatic. Though no living practitioner appeared in the iasuverse, its abilities were referenced in passing.

  The First Magiown as the "Denial of Nothingness," possessed the power to create something from nothing. In esse was the Law of Creation itself.

  Chihiro marveled at the immeential of this ability. Though fragments of the First Magic survived in the legends of certain families, no one in modern times had truly mastered it. For him to possess it now felt like a miracle.

  After a moment of ption, Chihiro ched his fist. The ability to create something from nothing was an unparalleled advantage, ohat could turide of the Holy Grail War in an instant.

  "With this," Chihiro murmured, "the possibilities are endless."
