"who?!"
On the rooftop opposite, the blond girl who was concentrating on exploring the seal seemed to suddenly sense something, and instantly became as alert as a cat.
Huh?
Xia Zhi was thinking about the next plan, and was a little surprised when he heard this. Although he couldn't hide it from other servants in the spiritual state, he didn't only have the general servant skill of spiritual transformation -
Although he is not a heroic spirit, he was summoned as an Assassin class and was given the corresponding class skills.
And because the qualification for this class should be "suitable for covert operations," he speculated that his passive ability to eliminate the sense of presence was the decisive factor, and it was also corrected into the class skills.
——Breathe blocking: EX.
It cuts off the aura of a Servant and is a skill suitable for covert operations, making it difficult for not only mages but also other Servants to detect.
It can be said that reaching this exaggerated level, unless one turns into an attacking posture, it is almost impossible to be discovered... Thinking of the skill information given by the Great Holy Grail, Xia Zhi's heart moved slightly, but he did not take any action.
It turned out that he was right. The next moment, a strange magical aura suddenly burst out.
The rooftop door on the building opposite was kicked open and hit the wall hard with a loud noise. The figure that jumped out from behind was a female heroic spirit with long purple hair that almost reached her ankles.
Wearing a black trousers and over-the-knee boots, she has a tall and plump figure. Although the upper half of her face is covered by a blindfold, making it impossible to see her full face, it can be inferred from the lower half of her face that she is undoubtedly a woman. A rare beauty.
But what was displayed together with this beautiful figure was a cold and deadly murderous intention.
The chained dagger roared and waved in the air. With the already powerful power, the air flow that broke through the wind went directly in the direction of the red-haired boy.
A very accurate and ruthless judgment. When the two parties fight, kill the Master first... But if you think about it carefully, this actually makes sense. If you have a choice, you should definitely try to kill the Master first. This is the best. Strategy.
Unless he is the kind of guy who pursues the spirit of chivalry, he not only longs for victory, but also looks forward to confronting his opponents head-on, aboveboard, and deciding the outcome in a fair and decisive battle.
This type of people probably won't have such utilitarian ideas, but it's generally difficult to win in the end.
Facing the menacing cold beauty, the petite blond girl snorted coldly and took the initiative to greet her with a single lunge. Her hands seemed to be clenching invisible objects and she made a sharp upward movement.
In an instant, there was a sound of metal clashing!
Violent sparks also burst out in the air!
The chain dagger was lifted up by an even more overwhelming force, spinning and flying into the air. The momentum of the blonde girl's entire body did not stop, and she slashed down like lightning, aiming directly at the enemy's neck with a swift strike.
Ping ping ping pong!
The sound of metal clashing intertwined into a deafening melody, rough and harsh, impacting the eardrums of every listener.
The cold beauty wearing an eye patch reacted quickly, grasped the chain tightly and took the dagger back into her hand instantly, and started fighting like a blacksmith with the blonde girl like a gust of wind. However, despite her amazing speed, she was at a disadvantage in the confrontation of absolute strength. , had to retreat step by step to resist the attack.
Something's wrong!
At this moment, Xia Zhi was also keenly aware of something strange, or in other words, he noticed something strange from the moment the blond girl took action, and he suddenly became suspicious.
Not sure, let's have a look.
only--
The battle on the opposite side did not last long. The cold beauty seemed to be the first to receive some kind of instructions. She frowned and retreated quickly, showing her obvious intention to evacuate. At the same time, the blond girl also subconsciously stopped attacking and gestured to the back frequently.
The red-haired boy seemed a little at a loss. It took him a few seconds to suddenly realize it, and then he hurriedly followed them and began to evacuate.
The two sides stopped fighting in a tacit understanding and left in opposite directions.
Soon after, there was a commotion underneath the building, but it was the patrolling teachers who led the team to the scene. However, when they arrived belatedly and climbed to the top, all they saw was an empty and lonely rooftop.
In the early morning, the remaining cold wind of late winter blew gently, and the rooftop was silent and empty.
"..."
"..."
Everyone exchanged confused glances with each other, their faces full of confusion and confusion. Just now they thought it was some group of deviant gangster students who staged a fierce fighting in this area in the early morning, so that There was so much movement.
Why was it that when they rushed forward angrily to stop him, there was no one there?
Could it be some kind of supernatural event? Is it haunted?
——In a sense, it is indeed haunted.
Despite this, the teacher who led the team still could not fully accept this hypothesis. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to lead everyone again to search down the building one floor at a time.
He suspected that it was those unlearned scum who hid on the floor below because they heard the sound of him and others coming up in advance... And from beginning to end, they seemed not to be able to see the words engraved on the roof of the building. Red and purple text.
On the building on the other side, it was like a non-existent ghost, Xia Zhi quietly took all of this into consideration.
He did not leave in a hurry, but continued to wait where he was.
Because speaking from experience...
Others may also be attracted, and then come here to survey the scene and collect intelligence... and these will also become one of the intelligence he collects.
In fact, it was the same. Soon another blue figure appeared. He looked around cautiously, then quickly approached the building and began to survey the scene. But even though he was alert, the blue figure didn't notice that there was a deadly assassin lying dormant next to him.
The place where you stand is so handsome that you can't help but want to kick him.
Looking at the blue figure coldly, Xia Zhi subconsciously simulated the possibility of launching a surprise attack at this time.
Ready to go with the most ferocious whip kick...
Be sure to seize the moment when you enter the attack state...
I feel that as long as I do this, the probability of success will be very high...
No, calm down, don't be fooled by this appearance, it can't be that simple no matter how you think about it, so you must also consider the opponent's possible response strategies and countermeasures.
If the opponent can react instantly and retreat decisively——
Then you must immediately use the force of the earth to exert force by pedaling, just like the explosion of a spring after charging. While rushing forward, the clenched fist turns into a hard elbow, and the most violent burst of magic power is used to strike accurately. Break the opponent's Adam's apple and trachea...
If the opponent chooses to avoid the attack by sidestepping——
You need to rely on the preset center of gravity adjustment, change moves in time, whip your left leg quickly, and bombard the opponent's temple with the increased magic power released; or raise your knees sharply, accelerate the magic power like a cannonball, crush the spinal cord on the opponent's back...
If the other party...
Xia Zhi couldn't help but shake her head slightly, her thoughts passing by like a gust of wind, and she instinctively constructed realistic simulated battle scenes in her mind.
The incomparably rich experience and the "feel" he regained not long ago naturally provided him with a massive amount of data support. In just a moment, he seemed to pre-read dozens of possible responses from the opponent.
At the same time, he intuitively knows how to counterattack, and suppresses the opponent with more powerful changes like a storm.
However... he gently rejected this seemingly tempting arrogant idea.
Don't take risks, don't be fooled by this appearance, these are just illusions.
The opposite person is the manifestation of a legendary hero from the past, and he is definitely not a simple character. He doesn't even have a Noble Phantasm, but only relies on a pair of fists. Could it be that with Medea's magic enhancement, he can kill the heroic spirit...
Xia Zhi thinks calmly and objectively believes that the possibility is not high.
In the final analysis, the reason why he is so cautious is because he really doesn't know much about the Servants.
After all, the first time I heard about this concept was the night when Vivian regained her spirits from a state of despair. The two of them were discussing future strategies and arrangements, and the girl came up with this concept.
——Those heroes who slayed dragons, slew gods, and ruled over all things in the past, their great achievements were left as legends after their death. The existences transformed by these heroes who have become objects of belief in myths and legends are called "heroic spirits".
——They are summoned to the present world through rituals and become beings that can be used, that is, "servants".
Listen! Listen!
This sounds like a very high-level existence. I wonder who is not confused after listening to it. Anyway, Xia Zhi was indeed very interested in it at that time, longing for and fascinated.
Even Vivian has high hopes for this, but unfortunately, for some reason, the land of the Fairy Country seems to be extremely resistant to the summoning of heroic spirits. The summons basically end in failure. The only result so far is the inexplicable summoning of Indy. kes.
It was only now that he was inexplicably summoned to this world to participate in this completely unexpected Holy Grail War. Only then did he realize that the enemies he had to face were all unknown Servants.
Those mythical heroes, legendary monsters, brave men on the pages of books...
All in all, from that moment on, he made up his mind to maintain an extremely cautious attitude at all times. He would rather overestimate his opponent than let himself fall into the low-level mistake of underestimating the enemy's negligence.
Just be cautious and eat dirt for a few more days.
Xia Zhi thought about it seriously and decided to eat more with a serious look on his face.

On the other side, the second class has just ended.
On the way back from the music classroom, Tohsaka Rin and Sakura met unexpectedly in the corridor.
Seeing the other person moving some handouts, she quickly stepped forward to help. Then the conversation between the two seemed dull and distant, with a hint of restraint. After sending the other person to the classroom, she sighed and turned around to leave. .
Although I asked him about the yellow-haired gangster that day, I couldn't get a substantive answer.
Sakura was also vague about this, saying that the person was just lost. Although he asked her a lot of things, she couldn't understand it...
Faced with such a situation, Tohsaka Rin could not forcefully ask, but he already had his own speculations in his heart.
After leaving Sakura's sight, she found a quiet and uninhabited place and summoned the spiritual form of Medea.
"How's it going, Caster, Sakura...is she the master?"
"yes."
No need to think, Medea gave an affirmative answer: "Although the state is a bit strange, Miss Sakura is undoubtedly the master."
Perhaps ordinary servants would not be able to give such an accurate judgment after a simple contact, but Medea is different. As a magician from the Gods, her magic skills are far above the average of modern magicians.
In terms of ability, she is basically at the level of a magician.
Therefore, she saw the hidden problem in the purple-haired girl at a glance, and was convinced that this girl was also a contestant, but her current state was slightly abnormal.
"Is this really the case..." Tohsaka Rin whispered to himself. In fact, he had already been inclined to this guess in his heart. At this moment, he just wanted to use Medea's professional judgment to further confirm the authenticity of the matter.
Although the Command Spell on Sakura did not react in any way due to the proximity, this cannot be used as conclusive evidence. After all, the essence of the Command Spell is driven by magic power. Once the magic circuit is closed or the magic power is suppressed, its presence will naturally become difficult to capture.
Faced with the identification of the two servants before and after, Tohsaka Rin still believed that Sakura was also involved in this Holy Grail War.
this means--
The two sisters may have to face each other sooner or later and decide whether to live or die.
Her mood felt heavy for a while. The relaxed and happy mood brought about by harvesting two heroic spirits last night instantly dissipated, and was replaced by endless heaviness and complexity.
At this moment, Medea's eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes quietly turned to a corner of the campus.
Tohsaka Rin, who followed closely behind, although his reaction was slightly delayed, also caught the strange aura and immediately turned his gaze in the same direction.
"The fight started..." Medea whispered, her voice almost inaudible.
"Really starting a fight? This is school..." The expression of the black-haired girl with twin tails suddenly became stiff.
Fortunately, it was only a brief and restrained collision, like a tentative confrontation. The two sides were not so arrogant as to start a Holy Grail War in this school in broad daylight. This sudden confrontation ended immediately without further escalation.
However, that corner of the campus was already bustling with people. Many students were talking excitedly, and a series of rumors and theories were quickly formulated.
Tohsaka Rin's expression was tense. She had been carefully checking someone's status through the contact in the contract, and was ready to use the command spell to bring the other person back at any time... She had no hesitation, and she didn't want anything to happen to that guy. .
Soon, the guy came back.
He looks calm on the outside, as if he has everything under control, but the news he brings back is extremely valuable.
"... The ranks of the servants on both sides of the war are not yet clear. Among them is a blond girl servant, who should be using an invisible weapon, and the size is not yet clear; the other is wearing black clothes and black pants, wearing The beauty with the eyepatch uses a chain dagger..."
"...The strength and speed displayed by the former are both superior, and the latter's agility is extraordinary. Although it is slightly inferior in strength, it seems that the two sides are more testing each other. I am afraid that neither of them has displayed their full strength. It is probably not them. The limit..."
"... I can only confirm that one of the masters is a certain student from this school. He has red hair and looks like he exercises regularly. The other master did not appear, but I suspect it is Miss Sakura..."
The young man recounted the information he had collected and did not hide anything. That was the situation anyway, and he just needed to push the situation gently.
"After they all left, another blue guy came from behind. I'm not sure whether he was fighting alone or in alliance with which party. His master didn't show up either. In short, he was very alert..."
"Student from the same school? Red hair? Regular exercise?"
Tohsaka Rin twitched the corner of his mouth, keenly catching the most useful clues, and immediately thought of a person. Could it be such a coincidence, right?
In such a poor school, three students were selected as masters. Has the Holy Grail War fallen into such a state of desolation? You can't even choose a qualified adult magician, or what?
It's really troublesome...
Forcibly resisting the urge to scratch her head, the girl was confused for a moment. Although as the intelligence gradually increased, the current situation gradually became clearer, and it was no longer as dark as before.
However, it is better not to know.
Xia Zhi carefully observed the expression of the lady master. He had indeed brought all the information back and did not cut it off. However, sometimes, this could actually be regarded as a kind of conspiracy.
Let people act according to their own steps without even realizing it.
After all, it seems that there is a lot of information, but in fact, if you look at it, you will find that the only two groups that can carry out targeted actions are the red-haired and Sakura groups. Judging from Miss Tohsaka's reaction, Sakura is very important to her.
So, she actually had no choice.
"Forget it, it's time to have such an awareness... Otherwise, it would be impossible to wait sixty years before competing in the next Holy Grail War."
The black-haired girl with twin ponytails gritted her teeth and seemed to have made up her mind.
"Master, maybe there won't be another Holy Grail War..." Medea hesitated, "I also went to check Enzo Mountain in the middle of the night last night and found that someone had made a "tumor" on the mountain. This has already happened. Most of the structure of the Great Holy Grail collapsed..."
"What?"×2
Tohsaka Rin looked shocked.
Xia Zhi was also a little uneasy. When he heard the news, his first reaction was——
It seems that... there is a chance to directly refine the entire Great Holy Grail?
