Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Rin Tohsaka: "You can even project the Holy Sword?!"

Zabiko: "If Chloe, who only borrows part of the power of a Heroic Spirit, can do it, then Nameless, Archer, you guys can too, right?"

Wuming: "Cough cough..."

Red A: "..."

Everyone: "???"

Gina: "Does this mean I'm admitting it?"

Blonde Rin: "These two guys are really good at hiding their true colors."

[Shadow Saber and Chloe simultaneously raise their curry sticks.]

Two enormous sword beams, one gold and one black, rose from the ground, their light reflecting off each other.

【"Uh-huh-huh-"】

【"Ahhhhhhh!"】

【"EX Curry Stick!!!" x2】

[Amidst roars from both sides, the two light cannons collided.]

[The match appears evenly matched, but the outcome is already clear.]

【"Bang!!!"】

[The ground beneath Shadow Saber's feet shattered, and she let out a groan.]

[That's right, it was Shadow Saber who was at a disadvantage, and she was immediately defeated.]

"Drink up, ahhhhhh—"

[With Chloe's shout, her beam of light expanded again, completely suppressing Shadow Saber's beam.]

【"Bang!!!"】

[And so, to everyone's astonishment, Shadow Saber was engulfed by Chloe's beam attack, leaving behind only a deafening explosion.]

[The complete fading of the mask also signifies the end of Shadow Saber.]

[Shadow Saber is really going all out this time.]

After delivering that attack, Chloe's eyes rolled back and she fainted. By the time Miyu rushed over with Sapphire, Chloe had already transformed back into Illya, along with the Saber and Archer class cards beside her.

[Ilya's voiceover: "That's how it all ended. I don't remember anything that happened. The only ones who witnessed it were Miyu and Sapphire."]

"What exactly happened? No one could understand it at the time. The only thing we knew was that we survived."

"Ah! I thought I was going to die!"

Rin Tohsaka, Luvia, and Ruby popped out of the ground at just the right moment.

Finally, at Miyu's request, the unconscious Illya was carried back by Miyu herself.

This long night is finally over...

[Video ends.]

Magical Girl Rin Tohsaka: "That's it... resolved?"

Magical Girl Luvia: "Such a powerful Shadow Saber, and she was just defeated by Chloe like that?"

Koles: "This Chloe is amazing."

Fiore: "No, it should be Ilya who is more powerful."

Chloe is using Prisma Illya's body, which means that everything she does, Prisma Illya can also do.

Ilya: "(~皿~)"

She was even a little jealous; if she were in that situation, she probably couldn't have done it to that extent.

Magical Girl Illya: "Miyu-chan, thank you for carrying me home."

Magical Girl Miyu: "..."

[This concludes question two. We will now begin question three.]

[This is a short-answer question. Please watch the following video carefully and then answer the questions.]

[One Saint Quartz will be deducted for each incorrect answer; one to five Saint Quartz will be awarded for each correct answer.]

[Video begins.]

Command Spells, the stairway to angels.

[By granting magicians the right to participate in the Holy Grail War, beyond their physical bodies.]

[Although this has been mentioned many times before, it is noted again here.]

The Command Seal is the proof that one of the seven chosen participants in the ritual by the Holy Grail.

As for the exact rules by which the Holy Grail selects its Master, the details of its system are still unclear.

[What the Holy Church and the Magic Association can say—]

Only magicians whose desires align with the ritual can obtain Command Seals.

[Of course, this has not yet been proven.]

The true desires of the magicians remain unclear.

It's premature to conclude that everyone is aiming to reach the root cause.

Are people more likely to be chosen if they live in a city where the Greater Grail is located?

In this Holy Grail War of 1991, five participants were residents of Tokyo, and two were from abroad.

Not so. This is far from a definitive conclusion.

Since the selection mechanism is still unclear, calling it a bias is far too unconvincing.

However, regardless, once a magician obtains a Command Seal, they can act as a participant in the Holy Grail War.

In other words, it means obtaining a ladder comparable to that of angels.

It is said that the basis for this distinction is the mystical qualities possessed by magicians.

[If one possesses extraordinary talent, then one is the highest and foremost.]

Those who are ignorant of the true nature of the world are at the lowest level, the seventh.

[The first/Seraphim with seven feathers.]

[The second / Cherubim with six feathers.]

[The third/five-feathered Throne.]

[The fourth/four-feathered archangel (Dominions).]

[The fifth / Virtues with three feathers.]

[Sixth / Powers, the Two-Feathered Archangel.]

[The seventh / Princess, a single feather.]

How ironic that a magician who is not a god possesses angel wings.

[That is, a "good spirit" summoned through the Greater Grail, guiding the Heroic Spirit (Servant).]

[That is indeed the case; the spirits that can still be summoned from the "seat" even after death are undoubtedly lost souls.]

Is this a play that fits the narrative of the Holy Church, or perhaps an inevitability of the Holy Grail?

Great Hero: "Oh, so this is the story of that Holy Grail War?"

The Great Hero: "Perfect timing, I'd also like to see what happens after I leave the stage."

Brunhilde: "..."

Ramses II: "King of Knights, let me see your choice."

Altria: “???”

Ramses II: "But the world is truly wondrous; a female knight king has actually appeared."

Feng Xi: "Perhaps, in this world, a female King Arthur is the true heir."

Ramses II: "Hahaha, that would be even more interesting. I can't wait to see the expression on that pure white knight's face."

Artoria: "..."

Even though they were talking about topics related to herself, she felt like she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Waver: "But in that world, they actually compare their Master to an angel?"

Kenneth: "It's called that out of nowhere, and it has no real effect whatsoever."

Demon King: "Heh heh, humans, how arrogant you are—"

[A certain day in February, 1991.]

[The decisive battle at the Upper Shrine in Tokyo Bay will take place in three days.]

"Lancer, what you said is quite interesting."
