Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

Chapter 336 New Commission

This case of power outage just passed, although it caused considerable trouble to ordinary people in the area.

Like high electricity bills and rumors of serial killers...

But for the magicians of the Clock Tower, it was just a small episode. After the murderer was arrested, there was basically no news the next day, and everyone was doing their usual business.

Shinji gradually integrated into this class...or rather, he didn't need to integrate at all.

With the outstanding performances of Flatt and others, he, who just likes to sleep in class, is absolutely normal. The only thing that may attract more attention is that he is quite close to Grey.

But apart from Sifen, no one else is very interested in this...

“Thump…thump…”

After Gray finished the task assigned to her by Weber, she planned to take a look over there before going to bed. However, when her hand was about to hold the door handle, Weber's emotional voice suddenly came from inside.

"That's...Master?"

Grey curiously peeked through the crack in the door and saw a box in front of Weber, who was carefully picking up a piece of old red cloth from the box.

"...It's been ten years... The Holy Grail War is clearly over, but I still can't accept it."

"I wish so much to see you again, and to fulfill your wish... But my wish has already been fulfilled..."

Weber looked at the holy relic in his hand, his tone becoming tearful. Perhaps this was the only person who could allow him to show his weakness.

"If you knew, you would probably call me an immature brat again, but even so, I have to fight to the last minute... Isn't that what you taught me..."

Waver placed the relic back into the box, stood up, walked to the door, pushed it open and looked out into the corridor.

"...Is it an illusion? I felt like someone just now..."

"...Ding-ling-ling!"

"...Hello."

"Lenice? I can't help it. I will respond to the matter over there..."

"Anyway, as long as the trouble with the Spiritual Summoning Department is solved, it will be fine."

Weber stood by the window, looking at his reflection in the glass.

It's time to deal with troubles again...

......

The next day, Weber, Lanis and their group found a handsome blond man. As for why he was handsome, we have to mention that before Weber and his group arrived, he was hugging a girl intimately.

After seeing someone coming in, they immediately separated in panic. Even when the girl left, she was still thinking about her teacher...

"You are as welcome as ever, Wells First Class Lecturer."

"Sorry for making you laugh."

The other party didn't seem surprised to see Weber coming, and he didn't even feel ashamed for being discovered for what he had just done.

Weber had long been aware of this situation.

"You are thoughtful in always keeping your door open when you are alone with your female students."

"Do not be afraid, my Lord..."

"...Excuse me, let's continue with what we left off, regarding your father's funeral."

"Yes, I have also sorted out all those complicated and trivial matters."

"...your father was an excellent necromancer. I once again express my condolences for this incident...then can you please tell me, as an important figure in the Necromancer Department, what exactly is the commission you want to give me?"

"..."

At this point, the other party paused, and then did not answer directly, but talked about something seemingly unrelated:

"My father bought the ancient Roman ruins and the surrounding wilderness five years ago..."

"I've also heard about this. The Marbury Workshop used the entire wilderness as a workshop, and its magic power was comparable to that of the temple... But in the end, it got out of control..."

"Yes. Because of the continuous lightning, not only the workshop but also the ordinary people around it lost dozens of lives. The last person to die was my father."

"Hmm... I've also read about this. It's not uncommon for magic power structures to get out of control, but what's strange is how a magus like your father can't control his magic?"

"I don't know... I won't be able to do anything if I let the situation continue to develop."

At this point, Lanis, who was sitting next to her, said directly:

"That means, if this continues, the Clock Tower will take back this workshop and the wilderness!"

"...I see. It's because the workshop is too big. If it were to be taken back, it would undoubtedly cause considerable losses to the family."

"Sire, besides this, I have another matter I want to discuss with you, but please allow me to explain it on the spot..."

"Is that so... I'll take this commission!"

After everyone finished talking, they dispersed.

Lanis and the maid in mercury form who followed closely behind her went somewhere unknown.

Weber was still walking towards his residence with Gray, preparing for the next journey.

"...Master, why don't we invite Mr. Shinji this time?"

"...I never said that. Although I don't necessarily need his help, it would be best for us to go together...Why did you say that?"

"Because... Master, when you were dealing with this matter, you didn't even ask Mr. Shinji. I thought you were going to keep it from him..."

"Hmph... you're just overthinking it."

A smile appeared on Weber's face, and he looked at the intersection ahead with ease:

"He wouldn't be willing to do this kind of boring and complicated chores with me. Only when we do field research can he be interested... As a way to travel far away..."

“Pfft…Is that really the case!?”

Gray was shocked by this statement and couldn't help laughing. This attitude was quite idealistic. She didn't expect that there really were such unrealistic people in the world.

"But... Master, you really know Mr. Shinji very well. Have you known each other for a long time?"

"... almost. Although the time we actually communicated was not long, I experienced the most important moment of my life during that time."

"The most...important moment?"

Gray slowed down her pace, looked at Weber's back, and recalled the scene she saw last night.

[Are you talking about the so-called Holy Grail War...]

Holy Grail War... What is that...
