"here it is..."
After the dizziness from the teleportation plane subsided slightly, Shen Qiu opened his eyes and looked around at the various artistic buildings. At the same time, a memory that did not belong to him was injected into his mind.
"I am... Shen Qiu, a magician from the Far East? Invited by the Clock Tower, I have traveled all the way from the distant East to England to deal with a very troublesome matter for them."
After sorting out his thoughts, Shen Qiu understood his current identity.
"So, the main god has assigned me to the red team? How thoughtful! Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to get along with that bunch of freaks on the black team."
Just as Shen Qiu was silently organizing and pondering the information he had obtained, the familiar voice of the Supreme God rang in his ears again.
"Reincarnator No. 43321, this ranking challenge is: *Fate/Apocerpha*, difficulty level S-SS."
"Mission assignments are now being issued..."
Main Quest 1: Obtain the legendary Holy Grail, which can grant any wish, and receive 10000 reward points plus two side quests at double A rank.
Note: This is the only main quest in this story, so please make sure to complete it.
Side Quest 1: Heroic Spirit Slayer. Kill at least five Heroic Spirits to earn 4500 reward points plus one B-rank side quest.
Side Quest 2: Elegy of a Saint. Please stop Ruler Amakusa Shiro Tokisada from winning the Holy Grail War at all costs. Reward: 3000 reward points plus one single B-level side quest.
Side Quest 3: The Power of the Reincarnator. Defeat a non-friendly Servant from the Upper Three Riders using only your own strength, without relying on any other Servants. Reward: 3000 Reincarnation Points plus one A-rank side quest.
Task duration: one month
"Mission issued. Reincarnator 43321, please note that this world is of high magic difficulty and will be affected by the world's suppressive force. The difficulty of the mission may be slightly increased. Please be careful."
Having arrived in another dimension for the third time, Shen Qiu was already very familiar with the main god's process. The introductions to the other tasks were concise and clear, but the third side quest made Shen Qiu frown slightly.
What exactly does "friendly side" mean? Does it mean the red side that one is about to join, or the side that one considers friendly? If it is the red side, then side quests 3 and 2 must conflict. He believes that the main god would not issue such a self-contradictory quest.
"Let's take it one step at a time..." After letting out a soft sigh, Shen Qiu pulled himself out of his tangled thoughts, and only then did he have the chance to properly appreciate the scenery around him.
Out of place in modern society, various old-fashioned English buildings stand side by side in different blocks, making it seem as if you have stepped back into the Middle Ages five hundred years ago. This is the Clock Tower, the headquarters of the Magicians' Guild.
The Society of Magicians consists of three main parts: the Clock Tower in London, the Astra House in the Astra Mountains of Egypt, and the Wandering Sea, which is itself a moving island in the North Atlantic.
The Clock Tower is the core of the Magicians' Association and the center of the European magic scene. Every year, tens of thousands of students from all corners of the world travel to the Clock Tower to study, and in Europe, 99% of magicians choose the Clock Tower.
"Speaking of which, although I often say in the original world that I will go to Europe to take care of some urgent business, this is actually my first time in Europe. I can only say that it is indeed the center of world magic, very grand."
Shen Qiu strolled leisurely along the wide marble-paved streets of the Clock Tower. The mission had a full month to complete, but he wasn't in a particular hurry. He had come all this way to the Clock Tower, and although it was a parallel world, the general differences shouldn't be too great.
How can we not take a proper look around?
Having no information about the clock tower's location, he could only wander around like a headless fly, looking here and there.
However, wherever he went, he would attract whispers from female students, and many of them would even come up to him and ask for his phone number. This was around 03 or 04, when mobile phones were already quite common.
Especially after modern magic became popular, the use of technological electronic products has somehow become a new trend within the Clock Tower. Magicians of the new era are keen to combine modern technology with magic to complement each other's strengths.
· ·Requesting flowers·· ····
This trend has infuriated some conservatives and traditionalists within the Clock Tower, who believe it originated with Lord El-Melloi II, against whom countless impeachments have been launched.
However, he always managed to escape unscathed. In any case, as the legal and arbitration body within the Clock Tower, the Department of Law and Politics was quite reasonable. Therefore, even though those old fogies hated El-Melloi II to the point of wanting to devour him alive, they were helpless.
"Sorry, sorry, I don't use a cell phone."
After rejecting another blonde British beauty, Shen Qiu sighed slightly. Who said that British girls are all ladylike and reserved? That's utter nonsense—at least in front of Shen Qiu, they all looked like they couldn't wait to take him home tonight.
.. ...... ....
"This face is starting to cause me trouble. Looks like I really need to learn some disguise techniques..."
While lost in these troubled thoughts, Shen Qiu, who was wandering aimlessly, suddenly heard a familiar voice—
"Hey, stop right there! You, the guy in the light blue trench coat, yes, I'm talking to you! I'm asking you, isn't this supposed to be class time? Why aren't you in the classroom and instead wandering around here?"
"Could it be that--"
Are you skipping class?!
The beautiful girl in front of him became increasingly fierce as she spoke, eventually even exuding an aura as if she wanted to devour him. However, Shen Qiu merely looked at her with amusement and was not intimidated by her imposing manner.
I know this person all too well.
"Ah, it's Rin Tohsaka! It's her again. She loves to meddle in other people's business. She caught a boy skipping class like that before, and he was taken straight to the Department of Law and Politics. I heard he lost five credits!"
"Five credits? Oh my god, that means I'll probably have to repeat the year. As expected of Rin Tohsaka, she's the one who stood up for us when the girls in our class were being bullied by the boys. I heard that in the arena, she beat that boy so badly he couldn't get out of bed for three days..."
The girls around them whispered among themselves.

Chapter 205: Monarch: Rocco Belfebund
"Beautiful lady, although you are here righteously accusing me, if it is class time, then why are you here?"
Shen Qiu looked at the girl in front of him, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with amusement. He could only say that no matter which parallel world Rin was in, her personality was as domineering as ever.
"That's because we just came back from the Mineral Science training classroom. Wait, isn't that something every student at the Clock Tower knows? Could it be...?"
A bad feeling suddenly welled up in Rin's heart.
"Hey, which class are you in?"
If Rin's original aura was fierce with a hint of aggressiveness, then her current tone clearly carries a threatening undertone.
"I'm very sorry, but I'm not a student of the Clock Tower." Shen Qiu "297" scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. Only now did he realize an awkward situation: he seemed to be... an unregistered resident in this world?
"Not a student of the Clock Tower!"
These words immediately set off alarm bells in Rin Tohsaka's mind. Shen Qiu's appearance clearly indicated that he could not be a teacher, and the clothes he wore were from a very expensive brand. He could not possibly be a worker inside the Clock Tower.
"Is he a wandering magician? Or a dark magician? Or perhaps just an ordinary person who has stumbled into the clock tower?"
In an instant, several guesses swirled in Rin Tohsaka's mind. Unseen by others, a diamond-shaped ruby had slipped from her sleeve into her palm at some point.
Every year, numerous wandering magicians come to the Clock Tower seeking a chance to change their fate, but within the Clock Tower, which places great emphasis on lineage, this is simply impossible—or rather, extremely unlikely.
If it's a dark magician, then it's even more dangerous. No magician who uses dark magic is a normal person. Most of them are ruthless demons who take pleasure in torturing ordinary people and have no morals whatsoever.
Neither of them is tolerated by the Clock Tower.
"I'm warning you, you'd better stay here and not move. The Clock Tower explicitly forbids outsiders from entering. If you want to survive safely, you'd better wait patiently for the Legal Affairs Department's investigation."
Rin Tohsaka held up the red, diamond-shaped gemstone, which was no longer a negotiation but a blatant threat.
"Huh? Not a student? Could he be a wandering magician from out there?" The blonde girl who had asked Shen Qiu for his phone number earlier panicked upon hearing his answer and immediately checked herself for any curse-like things.
"It would be better to report this to the Legal Affairs Department immediately. Although he is indeed very handsome... it's worrying that he doesn't have proper identification..."
The girls around them had already started to scatter. Even if Shen Qiu were a black magician or a wandering magician who posed a threat to them, the side with more people would definitely have the upper hand in a fight.
However, they chose to scatter and flee.
This is the inherent weakness of magicians.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Ms. Rin Tohsaka. Although I'm not a student of the Clock Tower, I was invited by the head of the Summoning Department, Lord Agent Rocco Belfebon, to handle a troublesome matter for your Clock Tower. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to treat a guest of the Clock Tower like this?"
"Minister Rocco Belfebund..."
Upon hearing Shen Qiu's words, Rin's expression clearly froze for a moment. She naturally knew this old professor who was quite famous in the Clock Tower.
The Summoning Department is a subordinate organization of the Summoning Department. In this world, due to the emergence of the Subspecies Holy Grail War, the Summoning Department receives far more attention than other departments. This is why Rocco Belfebon was able to act as the Lord of the Summoning Department as the Minister of Summoning Science.
Since he was invited by this old professor, he probably couldn't be someone like a wandering magician.
"Wait a minute, even though you say that, don't you have any token or anything? And I've been observing you for a while now. If you were going to find Minister Rocco, why have you been wandering around here for so long? Something's clearly wrong with you!"
Even though things had come to this point, Rin stubbornly maintained her tsundere nature.
"The reason is simple. When I first entered the Clock Tower, I got lost and couldn't find Minister Rocco's office. Just think of me as a poor boy from the countryside."
Shen Qiu shrugged indifferently. He had been struggling with how to find Rocco, but now a perfect tour guide had been delivered right to his doorstep.
"So, dear Rin Tohsaka, I wonder if you could take me to see Minister Rocco? That way, I can clear my name and help Minister Rocco and me."
"Ok?"
After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Lin hesitated for a moment, but after thinking it over again, she quickly made her decision.
"If that's the case, then it's not impossible. Come with me."
A minor incident thus vanished without a trace.
"Hey, this is our first time meeting, right? How do you know my name?" Rin Tohsaka, strolling along the tree-lined path, was completely baffled by this. It should be her first time meeting Shen Qiu.
"The reason is simple, Miss Rin: it's because I'm also from the Orient."
Shen Qiu was not lying; he was indeed from Japan, although they were from two unrelated parallel worlds.
"Eastern Japan?"
After hearing Shen Qiu's words, Rin made a look of sudden realization. The magic circle in Japan is pitifully small. If something happens to someone, the whole of Japan will know about it in no time.
The news that the Tohsaka family had produced two exceptionally talented daughters had already spread far and wide. In particular, as she grew older, Rin Tohsaka, who possessed five major magical attributes and seventy magical circuits with circuit quality reaching EX level, was even hailed as one of the top 100 geniuses of this era.
