Skadi, returning to infinity

"Knowing that others are strong is a good thing."

"But if you lose your ambition just because you know how powerful your opponent is, how can you be a magician?"

"Being a magician should be like being a king; no matter how great the difficulties ahead, you must overcome them."

"Only in this way can one become stronger and become a true king."

"Back in the day, when we conquered Eurasia..."

Webber rolled forward after being slapped on the back, but he was not injured.

Clutching her pillow, listening to the Emperor's voice, her thoughts drifted far away.

"Did you know? It seems that the genius from the Clock Tower has left?"

"Yes, yes, she's not only a super genius, but also a super beauty."

"Eh, it's said they left in search of more powerful magical methods?"

"Who knows, but it's still a pity that she left."

"There's nothing to regret. With her here, no other man even glances at us."

"Only after she left can we have more people paying attention."

"That's what they say, but it's still a bit of a shame that such a talented magician has left us like this."

"By the way, do you guys know where she went?"

"It's said that he went to find Tokiomi Tohsaka."

"Tokiomi Tohsaka? Never heard of him. Does anyone know who he is...?"

Weber Velvet, reading a book in the corner, overheard the conversation of several girls outside, and the image of the girl he had only met twice surfaced in his mind.

A white-haired girl.

White hair, red eyes, red dress.

Such physical characteristics are not uncommon, especially since women who inherit magic are almost all beauties with different styles, particularly within the clock tower.

common.

However, no matter how common she is, she still pales in comparison to others.

Weber had met her a few times, and what impressed him most about her was that Skadi always had that gentle smile, no matter who she was facing. It was hard to imagine that she was...

What happens when a person like that gets angry?

In fact, there seems to have never been any scandals involving her inside the Clock Tower.

They don't have much contact with the opposite sex, and they certainly don't have opportunities to be alone with someone.

It seems that everyone who meets her only has the impression of a diligent and talented young girl.

Weber was a teenager, so it was perfectly normal for him to have feelings for such a beautiful girl.

Unfortunately, despite having these thoughts, Weber never felt he could have any connection with her.

He even went to look up information about her when he overheard that she had left the Clock Tower to go find Tokiomi Tohsaka.

They knew Tokiomi Tohsaka's identity and his location.

This made the "Holy Grail War" even clearer.

However, he never expected that he would become a Master after that, and that he would become Skadi's enemy.

Seeing Skadi willing to sacrifice herself to protect the city, Waver felt very conflicted.

On one hand, he yearned for victory in the Holy Grail War and wanted to gain recognition from others.

On the other hand, it also reflects his complex feelings towards Skadi.

Do I like her, or...?

"It must be admiration, right? No one would dislike such a powerful and beautiful girl."

Weber had only this thought in his mind, but he didn't know if it was true.

He was unaware that Skadi had never actually appeared at the Clock Tower.

Her identity as a clock tower was arranged by the system, and she doesn't communicate with people to avoid leaving too many impressions.

This world, after all, possesses the power to influence the [Game of Gods], and making too many changes would cause some unnecessary trouble.

Of course, past impressions can be largely ignored; what Webber has always liked is the real Skadi.

"You little rascal, hurry up and go to sleep. There will probably be some troublesome things during the day."

The emperor didn't bother to guess what the guy was thinking. After saying that, he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep instantly.

Hearing the snoring beside him, Weber rolled his eyes.

What should we do...?

He didn't know what to do either, now Skadi was seriously injured.

But given the abilities she has demonstrated, even so, something significant is bound to happen next.

With my current strength, even with an emperor by my side, it would be difficult to change anything, right?

Ahhh, no, I can't be discouraged. I must win the Holy Grail War. It's not just about proving myself to the world, but also...

The image of a white-haired girl flashed through my mind.

I was indeed attracted to her.

While Weber was agonizing over his situation, his mentor, Kenneth El-Mello Archibald, was also contemplating the present situation in his own residence.

problem.

"The black knight stood guard beside her, along with another servant."

"The Black Knight's Master died in that battle, right?"

"That means the Black Knight doesn't have a Master right now. With his Berserker rank, he can only maintain this for a day at most."

"He will disappear in a day, and our chance will come."

Kenneth remained calm and did not back down despite Skadi's display of strength.

He's a genius too, how could he be "suppressed" by a younger generation of geniuses?

"Lancer, if you had the chance, were you confident you could kill her?"

The main objective shifted from Kiritsugu Emiya to Skadi.

Kenneth may appear indifferent to Skadi on the surface, but he is actually quite wary of her power.

If we can eliminate her while she is weakened, it will definitely be more beneficial than harmful to the upcoming Holy Grail War.

"I'm confident if there's no one else around her."

The handsome follower thought for a moment and gave a reply.

"Is there no one else? That's not a problem."

Kenneth stood by the window, looking down at the scene below.

His attention was completely focused on Skadi, and he didn't notice the way his fiancée Sora was looking at Lancer.

"Do we really have to kill her?"

"It would be better to let her be hostile to others, while we act as hunters on the sidelines."

When Sora saw that Lancer was ignoring her, she turned her attention to Kenneth.

Her purpose in saying this, seemingly for Kenneth's sake, was actually to prevent Lancer from taking any risks.

After all, such a powerful magician, with a servant and other powerful magicians by his side, is not someone who can be easily defeated.

If Lancer is not careful, he could very well encounter some mishap.

This is not the outcome she wanted.

“It’s difficult. We know how powerful she is, and so do the Masters.”

"And with Tokiomi Tohsaka, who is a natural ally of Skadi, there's no way he'll get involved in this."

"Emiya Kiritsugu might share my idea of ​​preserving value, but the problem is, given his abilities, I don't think he's capable of killing such a powerful being."

magician.

"So in the end, we can only rely on ourselves."

"Take advantage of her weakest moment and eliminate her."

"We have a very good chance of winning."

Kenneth only had eyes for Skadi; ​​he didn't care at all whether other powerful Servants would threaten him.

After all, he felt that with his own abilities, he could take care of the other Masters and Servants with Lancer's help, regardless of their strength.

What do we need to care about?

Of course, his confidence wasn't because he genuinely believed he would win, but rather because he didn't think others were better than him.

"Let's assess the situation for now..."

"Let Lancer go over there; at least we need to find out if they're truly injured, or if there's some other reason..."

Sora continued to try to persuade him, and it was quite obvious that she didn't want Lancer to take any risks.

"snort.

Kenneth thought for a moment, then said nothing more, only humming a curt reply.

He turned around, walked to Lancer's side, and said in a low voice, "I know your past, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne."

“You are a traitor to the monarch, so I hope you can seriously recognize your place.”

After saying this, Kenneth forcibly pulled Sora away.

"Eh."

Lancer, the handsome guy, stood there for a moment, and only sighed slightly after Kenneth and his companion left.

Because of what happened in the past, he now only wants to be loyal to one monarch.
