Chapter 108: Lancelot’s Moment of Social Death

  Fme Intation, Fire's Warm Embrace, Purifying Fme Ritual, True Fire of Samadhi, Demon Fme Molten Gold, Meteor Bze, Purgatory Sea of Fmes.

  These were all teiques I was intimately familiar with in my lifetime.

  Hmm? Spirit Blood Curse, Setting the Sky Afme?

  Aren't these supposed to be a bination of spells? At the very least, they should fall uhe category of advanced fire-based arts.

  Well, the Spirit Blood Curse is teically a healing spell, primarily derived from the Purifying Fme Ritual, augmented with the water-based Smoke and Water Resurre Spell. So, I guess it still be cssified as a fire-type teique.

  The same applies to Setting the Sky Afme, which is primarily a fusion of the Purgatory Sea of Fmes with the wind-based Windborne Dust Spell.

  These two teiques, however, could not be learned unless Smoke and Water Resurre and Windborne Dust were mastered first.

  "Fme Intation!"

  Zhang Jiao studied the spellbook for only a moment before raising his hand to summon a bright, flickering fme.

  Sigurd and Hassan of the Hundred Faces looked visibly shaken, their expressions a mixture of shod disbelief as they watched Zhang Jiao.

  "That fast?" Sigurd muttered, his voice tinged with amazement. "He already lear just by reading through it?"

  Chihiro, however, remained unfazed, shrugging nontly. "It's no surprise. This level of elemental magi't particurly hard to master."

  To Chihiro, this was entirely expected.

  "Let's see if it works for me too," Chihiro said fidently.

  Following Zhang Jiao's example, he raised his hand and began invoking the Fme Intation. Almost instantly, a vibrant fme ignited in his palm. However, his trol was noticeably worse than Zhang Jiao's. The fme flickered violently, nearly spreading to the furniture around him.

  "Whoa, whoa, whoa! That was close," Chihiro excimed, quickly extinguishing the fme before it caused any damage.

  Zhang Jiao, oher hand, was still marveling at the spell's meics. "This… this magic should in this world," he murmured, his voice filled with awe. "The threshold for entry is absurdly low."

  The simplicity of these teiques left Zhang Jiao astounded. It was clear that the elemental spells had been iionally desigo be inclusive, making them incredibly easy to learn while retaining formidable power. It was no wonder Chihiro hadn't been surprised, it was magiyone could grasp with ease.

  [The system's voice chimed in, announg the clusion of the session.]

  [Special rewards have been distributed, and this quiz session ends here.]

  Tohsaka Rin: "Huh? The rewards have already been handed out? What did everyo?"

  Kayenth: "Little girl, it's not polite to ask such questions."

  Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Rin, behave yourself."

  [Ding! The on-demaure has been activated.]

  [Everything that occurred during the Fourth Holy Grail War has been saved in the system. Group members may now watch the recs at their leisure.]

  [As the annou appeared, a video i appeared o the system's shopping menu. Clig on it revealed a single avaible entry: the full, ued history of the Fourth Holy Grail War.]

  Chihiro chuckled when he saw this. "Hah, this is basically the anime version of Fate/Zero, but in live-a format. The system even verted it into a proper narrative."

  They all eagerly delved into the footage, disc tless moments and ses that hadn't been included in the quiz sessions.

  Tokiomi, in particur, was left seething as he watched the footage. Seeing Kirei preside over his own funeral while Aoi desded into madness filled him with endless rage toward both Kirei and Kariya.

  As the group tiheir exploration, the system interrupted with another annou.

  ["To lighten the mood, here is a short video."]

  Tohsaka Rin: "Oh? What's this?"

  Waver: "Maybe it's some new reveal?"

  [The video began. The se opeo a European-style bar, plete with antique furnishings and a warm, inviting atmosphere.]

  [The establishment was beled as "Old Fashioned Bar," with a sigh it reading "Spider's ."]

  [Despite its cozy interior, the surrounding walls suggested it was situated within a rger military base.]

  [The camera pao the bar ter, where an elderly man olishing gsses. He exuded an air of wisdom and calm, indig he was the bartender and possibly the owner.]

  [Oher side of the bar sat a handsome man purple armor, sipping a cocktail. His demeanor was refined, yet casual.]

  [The camera zoomed in, revealing his name in bold letters: La (Saber).]

  Everyone: "!!!"

  Waver: "Wait, hold on. That's La?!"

  So-ui: "And he's… Saber css this time?"

  Tohsaka Rin: "This is a pletely different vibe pared to his Berserker form."

  Artoria: "Yes… this is Sir La as I remember him—a knight of unparalleled elegand chivalry."

  Irisviel: "Artoria, please focus on the road."

  La: "Ahem… Yes, this is me in my youth. However, I have no recolle of su event. This must be a vision of the future."

  Kayenth: "If La is here, then the bartender must also be a Heroic Spirit."

  Tokiomi Tohsaka: "It's impossible to identify him just from appearance. We need more text."

  [The video cut back to La, who seemed to have had a few drinks too many. His usually posed demeanor was slipping as he began to speak to the bartender.]

  [La: "My… son—no, my daughter—isn't close to me at all."]

  [La sighed deeply, his tone filled with regret.]

  [La: "But in the end, I know it's my fault…"]

  [The bartender smiled sympathetically, p La another drink.]

  Tohsaka Rin: "Daughter? Does he mean Mash?"

  Waver: "This has to be the Chaldea timeline."

  Artoria: "Sir Gahad and Sir La often quarreled, but this is strange… Gahad was male."

  Tohsaka Rin: "So why would his daughter avoid him?"

  Artoria: "Well… Lawain once mentiohat La had a habit of… er, women too closely."

  La: "My king! Please don't listen to those snderous lies!"

  The group erupted in ughter, realizing that La's supposedly noble reputation had some questionable uones.

  [The bartender offered soothing advice, his words seemingly ced with subtle hypnotidertones.]

  Bartender: "It's important to ect with your family. Believe in the bond you share. You are a kind ale father, Sir La. You know what your daughter truly desires."

  [As he spoke, the bartender's eyes glowed faintly blue.]

  [Unbeknownst to La, he was being subtly maniputed.]

  Artoria: "He actually exploited someone's unpreparedo use suderhanded methods. This old man is definitely not a det person."

  Emiya Kiritsugu: "Ihis old man isn't ordinary. His voice carries a strong hypnotianiputive power."

  Tohsaka Rin: "But what exactly is he trying to do to La?"

  Kay-h: "Surely, he doesn't io make La and his daughter fight each other?"

  La: "!!!"

  [The se abruptly shifted to a young Mashu standing in her room, freshly showered and drying her hair. A knock came at the door.]

  [Mash: "Huh? Who is it?"]

  [Before she could open the door, it swung open on its own.]

  [There stood La… dressed in an indescribably fmboyant outfit, striking a ridiculous pose.]

  [Mash: "…"]

  [The s froze momentarily, capturing Mash's expression of absolute horror.]

  Chihiro: "Oh, this is gold."

  Iskandar: "Hahahaha! La, what in the world is this?!"

  Gilgamesh: "So the reveals himself at st."

  Ishtar: "Where did you even find that outfit?"

  Artoria: "Sir La! What have you done?!"

  La: "This… this is not me! I son my honor!"

  [The video cluded with a close-up of the bartender, his name finally revealed: James Moriarty (Archer).]
