Chapter 281 The Impact of the Holy Grail War

...This happened after the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War.

Originally, it was just an ordinary Holy Grail War, and the Clock Tower would not pay too much attention to it, because in their view, the Holy Grail was just a higher-level magic gift, and it was just wishful thinking to rely on it to resist the [Root].

It can even be said that many families are no longer so persistent in pursuing the end of magic, and have turned to pursue power, status and resources.

But the result of the Fifth Holy Grail War was a surprise to everyone...

A tall man with long black hair sat upright at the desk. He looked to be only in his thirties, but there were many wrinkles on his face.

It seemed that he was exhausted from working too much, just like he was now frowning as he wrote and drew on the pile of papers in front of him.

In a corner of his desk, there is a half-opened notebook. If you look closely, you can find that most of the things recorded on it are related to the Holy Grail War.

It records the Masters of the Fifth Holy Grail War and the Servants they summoned, but the strange thing is that there are not only seven Masters listed, and many of their names have circles and crosses drawn on them...

This is because in the Fifth Holy Grail War, there was originally a vacancy in the Clock Tower, but this vacancy was later bought at a high price by the son of an oil tycoon, who was the Master of Caster, one of the seven major occupations.

However, it seems that due to his incompatibility with his Servant, coupled with some friction later, his Servant unilaterally severed the contract with him and he lost his status as a Master.

The strange thing is that after losing his Master, Caster not only did not dissipate due to lack of magic power, but continued to participate in the Holy Grail War and lived to the end... This is the first suspicious point.

Furthermore, the original Lancer's master should be an outsider magician who represented the Magic Association, Bazette Fraga Macremis, who was also a very good magician...

However, what he didn't expect was that he was attacked by an unknown enemy on the way to Fuyuki City, which resulted in the loss of his Command Spells and his identity as the Master.

Later, the identity of this person was also discovered. It was the agent of the Holy Church who was supposed to act as the referee... Kotomine Kirei!

He was a person who had performed extremely well in the Holy Church, but he suddenly rebelled at this time, and even relied on the privilege of the referee to forcibly seize the Command Seals. This has resulted in the church being unable to give a specific response to this matter until now... This is the second doubt.

Although the various accidents that occurred before the war even started were already very surprising, based on his understanding of the Holy Grail War, this was still within the acceptable range.

And then the three families, Tohsaka, Matou and Irisviel each have their own quota to participate in the war, plus an ordinary person chosen by the Holy Grail... From this point of view, it seems that this is still a normal Holy Grail War, but no one expected that the next step is the beginning of trouble:

The mysterious man who suddenly appeared in the Holy Grail War, the rebellion of Gilgamesh, the winner of the Fourth Holy Grail War, the extra servants summoned, the sudden arrival of black mud, and the traces left at the end that looked like a natural disaster...

It was not until this time that the Clock Tower realized the seriousness of the problem. Since the birth of the Holy Grail War, not only has it not really found the so-called "root cause", but it has left such a mess again and again.

So finally, under the suggestion of a group of senior staff, it was decided to send a special Clock Tower team to Fuyuki City. The purpose was... to dismantle the Holy Grail and end this repetitive cycle from the root!

But when they arrived, they found that the Holy Grail had disappeared without a trace...even the black mud was wiped out.

The news quickly spread in the Clock Tower. Although most people looked down on the so-called Holy Grail, they knew that if such a thing fell into the hands of people with impure intentions, it would definitely cause huge trouble.

Therefore, during that period, various conspiracy theories were put forward, causing panic among the people.

In the end, the monarchs forcibly suppressed public opinion, and as time passed, the matter gradually came to light.

After the mysterious Holy Grail War, all the senior magicians who participated in it did not survive, but the younger generation of family rookies survived.

Therefore, the Clock Tower also sent invitations to the Matou family and the Tohsaka family to express its recognition of their abilities.

"Boom boom boom!"

"...Who is it?"

"It's me! Teacher Weber!"

There was a hurried knock on the door outside, interrupting the man at the desk. He relaxed his brows a little, put down his pen, and said softly:

"come in..."

"Crack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened impatiently, and a sunny boy with short golden hair walked in with a smile.

Since she called the man "teacher" when she came, she must be his student. But after seeing what he was holding, her brows that had just relaxed became frowned again...

“Flat…what are these?

"...Bang!"

A huge pile of documents fell on the desk, and the work that was almost completed suddenly increased. Even so, the blond boy still explained in a silly and optimistic manner:

"These were given to me by the professor I met on the road just now. He said that these are documents and reports that need to be reviewed by the monarch, so he asked me to pass them to you, teacher!"

"These...are..."

Weber pointed tremblingly at the document that was now out of his sight, and his face suddenly looked much older.

"Yes! These...all...are!"

"...As for the rest, I'll bring it to you later."

"besides!?"

Weber looked at the boy in disbelief, then at the mountain of documents. He suddenly turned pale and fell on the desk with a thud.

how so...

He had just finished the last batch of documents with great difficulty, and thought that he could start investigating the Holy Grail War next...

...But now everything is over, how can I have free time!

"teacher?"

The sunny boy Flatt was a little confused when he saw Mr. Weber's listless look, but he didn't think too much about it and ran out of the door with great interest.

"Since you don't have anything else to do, I'll leave!"

"boom!"

The door was ruthlessly closed and the room suddenly became quiet.

After a long time, Weber sat up and looked around. Almost everything was the same cold decorations and tools that hadn't changed...only a lot of heartwarming work remained.

"..."

"Alas~ Is it too late for me to regret becoming the monarch now?"

Weber picked up the notebook on the corner of the table, glanced at it briefly, and then sadly stuffed it back into the drawer.

I'm afraid he won't touch this for a while, because he has to start working overtime...
