In Type-Moon, it all starts with adopting Sakura.

"Tokiomi Tohsaka".

Zouken Matou spoke up.

"Hmm, so it really is the head of the Tohsaka family... That's quite a tragic fate."

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei smiled, feigning agreement.

"Compared to me, an outsider, Matou-o, you undoubtedly know more about the three starter families. So, what do you think of Tokiomi Tohsaka?"

Luo Wei continued to inquire. Of course, he knew Tokiomi Tohsaka and was aware that Tokiomi's family magic was gem magic, and that he was particularly skilled in fire magic.

However, he didn't say it out loud. After all, he was just an outsider magician and had no reason to know so much about the Tohsaka family. So, he had to guide things and let the old bug take the initiative.

Moreover, the information he knew only came from some past memories, and it was all from movies and TV shows. Because of the limited time, the magic tricks he showed were just the main characteristics of each person. The more complicated and intricate information was not fully explained.

Before the battle begins, it would be a good idea to consult Zouken Matou, who is particularly familiar with Tokiomi Tohsaka, and then make minor adjustments to the plan based on the information.

"Tokiomi Tohsaka... Ha, he's just a magician through and through, and he lacks talent. The only thing worth praising is his dedication to the magic path."

"That guy strictly adheres to the rules and regulations among magicians, and is particularly obsessed with the inheritance of magic and the pursuit of its origins. That's why he sought adoption by a family for his offspring."

As he spoke, Zouken Matou shook his head, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

To be honest, he really looked down on that idiot Tohsaka Tokiomi, and felt sorry for Tohsaka Nagato's descendants. But when he thought about it carefully, his own descendant Matou Kariya was actually outshone by that brat with the goatee, and his face became even more gloomy. This was one of the reasons why he always looked down on Matou Kariya and often called him a good-for-nothing.

As for his descendant named Matou Tsuruno... that guy is even more useless, his talent is not even as good as other second-generation magicians, and Matou Zouken never even thought of training him.

'I see... So this is the Tokiomi Tohsaka I remembered.'

Upon hearing this good news, Luo Wei nodded slightly.

“That makes things easier for Tokiomi Tohsaka, but the Servants might be a bit more troublesome.”

"Yes, if it were just Tokiomi Tohsaka, he wouldn't amount to much, but this Holy Grail War is a battle between Master and Servant."

Zouken Matou narrowed his eyes and made a suggestion.

"However, I happen to have a plan here."

"tell me the story."

"I plan to have that idiot Kariya Matou impersonate Berserker's Master and fight on the front lines in my place, while I remain hidden in the shadows, waiting for the right opportunity. Anyway, my good-for-nothing descendant is probably eager to take this chance to settle things with Tokiomi Tohsaka, isn't he?"

After saying that, a cruel smile appeared on Zouken Matou's face.

"Well?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Wei raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing on his lips. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke again.

“It is indeed a good idea. Matou Kariya controls the Berserker in the open, while you can act freely and hide your identity in the dark. At that time, you might be able to catch the other Masters off guard.”

"Yes, with your Caster and Matou Kariya's Berserker drawing fire, the success rate of this plan is very high."

"That being said, but Matou-o, how should we disguise ourselves? Although the number of magicians in the Matou family has indeed dwindled in this generation, having Matou Kariya participate is a good choice. However, Tohsaka Tokiomi and the other participating magicians are not so easy to fool. If they see through our disguise, it will only arouse their suspicion."

Loewe specifically reminded him to lure Zouken Matou into taking action.

“Oh…you don’t need to worry about that, because I originally planned for Matou Kariya to control the Berserker for me. As one of the creators of the original Holy Grail system, our Matou family naturally has methods that others don’t know about.”

As he spoke, Zouken Matou reached out and rummaged through the bookshelf, placing the books and formal attire he had prepared beforehand in front of Lovi.

"This thing is called the Book of False Servants. It's a Mystic Code that I specially created a long time ago for the purpose of disguise. It only requires one Command Seal to complete. It can transfer Command Seals and control for a short time, so if Matou Kariya carries this, it will definitely fool the other contestants. Anyway, I've already left a backup plan on that kid, and with Tohsaka Sakura still in your hands, he definitely won't betray us."

"Transferring two Command Seals, and then letting that kid use them all to impersonate Berserker and leave the field, while I regain control, is a pretty good tactic."

Zouken Matou stroked his chin intently.

He pondered.

As one of the original three creators of the Holy Grail ritual, his qualifications and insights were unmatched by others.

In a short period of time, he had devised a feasible plan with a high success rate, which made Luo Wei look at him with new respect.

Machiri Zorgen...

No wonder he became a close friend of Hohenheim; he was once a brilliant genius. Even though his soul is old and frail, he is still not to be underestimated...

RE0, the Brain Meeting Starting from Zero

I'd like to recommend a friend's book.

Chapter Nineteen: Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald (2/2)

Time: Not long ago.

Location: London, Clock Tower.

On this day, a young man who had just finished having dinner with his fiancée returned to his office.

His name is Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald.

The current monarch, El-Melloi, is also a renowned genius of the Clock Tower and is hailed as a future magus with the potential to reach the Grand rank, following in the footsteps of the Grand Puppeteer, Aozaki Touko.

Currently serving as the Dean of the Department of Minerals (Kishia), the Head of the Department of Spirit Spells, a Clock Tower Lecturer, and a Color Magician.

At just over twenty years old, he has already become a monarch. He has reached the pinnacle of his career in terms of both intelligence and status. He is also one of the top three banners of the Clock Tower aristocracy. While mastering the El-Melloi school, he also has the backing of the two great noble families of Euryphus and Barthemelloi. He can be said to be at the height of his power and very promising at a young age.

Even many of the old magicians of the Clock Tower do not deny that he will achieve the Grand rank in the future. At the same time, they are also looking forward to seeing if Kenneth, this young magical genius, can bring them a different kind of surprise like Aozaki Touko.

Kenneth was on the verge of reaching the pinnacle of his life, enjoying the adoration of others.

Especially after his recent successful marriage proposal to his mentor, the Lord of the Spirit Conjuring Society, Euryphus, and his upcoming marriage to his daughter, Sora, which will solidify the alliance within the aristocracy and allow his school to gain more control over the core power of the Clock Tower, he will soon become the center of the entire Clock Tower.

At least he firmly believed it.

After all, he developed his own all-purpose Mystic Code at a young age, mastered the great theories of mineral science, and was particularly skilled in spirit summoning magic. He was the prized disciple of the monarch Euryphus.

For the old monarch who already had one foot in the grave and was now clinging to life through his magic and mystery, forcibly keeping himself in this world like a zombie, Kenneth was indeed a good talent.

To outsiders, he was a despicable and mean-spirited fellow, still basking in the glory of his aristocracy. But those who knew him well understood that the old man's meanness was directed only at his students of low birth. For true geniuses from noble families, he would spare no expense in educating and nurturing them, and Kenneth was such a person.

It was precisely because of his lineage and talent that he trained a disciple when his own life was in jeopardy, so that after his departure, the disciple could continue to be a pillar of aristocracy and help Barthezello fight against those incompetent democrats and neutral opportunists.

Kenneth accepted the offer with great seriousness and will marry his mentor's daughter.

What Kenneth didn't know was that his teacher, Euryphus, was also trying to prolong his life. To this end, he secretly contacted Aozaki Touko, who was being sealed away, to seek some special methods.

In his eyes, Aozaki Touko, who comes from the bloodline of the Fifth Mage, is undoubtedly a member of the magical nobles, and her abilities are impeccable, so he naturally wouldn't reject her. A large part of his expectation for Kenneth is that he hopes he can recreate Aozaki Touko's glory.

However, Kenneth was unaware of this, because in his mind, he was the one in ten thousand genius in the world of magic, and even Aozaki Touko could only surpass him in a matter of time.

His talent is in no way inferior to that of a Grand Puppeteer, and he may have even surpassed the woman his teacher kept mentioning!

However, he also knew that simply boasting would only embarrass him and would be meaningless. To truly surpass her, he needed to demonstrate achievements that surpassed hers.

But even someone like Kenneth has recently encountered some things that are bothering him.

"Seriously... these idiots."

Are modern students completely blind to the realities of the situation?

Inside the office, Kenneth patted the paper in his hand, looking somewhat embarrassed.

This guy named Weber Wilster is absolutely outrageous, daring to present this kind of thing in my class. While some of the arguments are indeed novel, and even he finds them somewhat interesting, the rest of the text is filled with arrogance and ignorance.

What did he think this place was? The secular world outside? This was the Clock Tower, a place completely opposite to the secular world, full of schools of thought and families.

Writing this kind of paper in a place is like going back to ancient times and shouting to overthrow the emperor—it's suicidal.

Not to mention that he himself was one of the representatives of aristocracy.

Although Kenneth was proud as a monarch, he was not stupid; on the contrary, his high position allowed him to see much more...

The world isn't all that wonderful; there are some things that absolutely cannot be mentioned or done, which is why he stopped this foolish behavior immediately.

"Forget it... Afterwards, we can seal off his apartment, retrieve all the manuscripts, and then arrest him and keep him here to write a few self-criticisms. That's it. Anyway, it didn't spread too far. Even if someone questions us afterward, he's capable of suppressing the matter."

"In the end, it's just wishful thinking on the part of ordinary students..."

Kenneth rubbed his forehead and then let out a long breath.

Honestly, he never considered himself a good person, nor was he a gentle one. On the contrary, he knew that his pride sometimes led him to extremes, making him narrow-minded and prone to saying overly sarcastic and cutting things.

However, even so, there are some things he must adhere to.

He is a teacher, and as a teacher, he has the obligation and responsibility to protect his students. As long as he doesn't cross his own bottom line, he is actually quite conscientious and responsible.

Even if the other person is an idiot, that's still true.

"I'm actually starting to miss that guy, Luo Wei, for some reason."

Having just gotten a lot of anger out of Weber, Kenneth, now calmer, started to miss his days as a top student.

Not long ago, he said he had gone out on business and hadn't returned yet, which made Kenneth a little worried.

With that kid's strength, he wasn't worried about his safety. His only concern was whether he'd miss an important event—his advancement to the [Clerk Rank] this year. If he missed it, he'd have to give him a good scolding.

A 21-year-old [Classic] magician... that brat is really something else, but he's only successful because he has such a legendary mentor.

Anyway, we'll all be family in the future. Once I absorb his family and bloodline into the El-Melloi school, everything will be accomplished.

"Ugh……"

After thinking for a while, Kenneth shook his head and stopped considering it. He was now more concerned about a rather special magical ritual—the Holy Grail War.

"Ha, it's probably just some academic research done by a country magician. I'll just consider it another addition to my resume."

Kenneth thought smugly.

He didn't really care about the so-called "Big Three".

Of the Einzbern family, only Tohsaka, Matou, and Einzbern are worth noting.

He had met Tokiomi Tohsaka, the current head of the Tohsaka family, at the exchange meeting. Tokiomi possessed some strength, but he was far inferior to him. Even the disciples and descendants of the Jewel Elder were nothing special without generations of accumulated experience.

As for the Matou family, their lineage originated from the magical genius Marichzorgon. However, the news of the weakening of their bloodline in this generation has spread far and wide, so there is no need to pay attention to them. Therefore, only the Einzbern family, a magical family in Western Europe, is worth taking seriously.
