With the host's permission, he walked into the entrance hall. After declining the two old men's enthusiastic invitation to sit down and eat some fruit, Luo Wei looked towards a room in the corner. Then he walked past the two old men and quickly pushed open the door of Weber's room.

"Weber, your senior brother is here to see you!"

After a warm greeting, Luo Wei pushed open the tightly closed door from the outside, and then he saw...

"Ok?"

Sitting on the floor, shirtless and utterly disgraceful, the red-haired giant, Rider, Iskandar, fiercely engaged in a battle, still clutching a game controller. And Waver, exhausted from last night's exertions and still half-asleep, his head buried in the covers like an ostrich, was also in poor condition.

This strange and philosophical scene made Luo Wei raise his eyebrows.

This reminds me of some unofficial history about the conqueror king Iskandar.

No, it should be said that it was some stories. A bold guess suddenly emerged in his mind.

"Oh, you guys are...afterwards? Replenishing your magic?"

Luo Wei blinked and asked him curiously.

"Although I know you lack magical power, I never imagined you would sacrifice yourself so much for victory... Waver-kun, my opinion of you has changed a little! You, too, are willing to sell your body in pursuit of victory!!"

Luo Wei gave him a thumbs up.

"What are you thinking, you idiot? It's not that kind of thing!"

Hearing Luo Wei's familiar voice, Weber, who was lying in the quilt, immediately woke up. He immediately climbed out of the quilt and retorted with a red face.

"This guy is obviously too big. I didn't have any suitable clothes for him in my bag, and his original outfit was too flashy, so he was running around the room in just a pair of pants. That's why nothing like what you thought happened!!"

"Really? I don't believe it."

Luo Wei winked at him.

"Of course it is! If you don't believe me, go ask Rider over there!"

"Oh, so that's how it is... Then I misunderstood."

After teasing Weber a few times, Rowe shrugged his shoulders and then didn't bother being polite with his junior. At Iskandar's invitation, he sat directly next to Rider, picked up another controller on the floor, and selected a two-player fighting arcade game - [King of Fighters].

"How about playing this?"

"Come on! It's no problem for me!"

"That's good."

After getting Rider's approval, Luo Wei rubbed the handle while looking at Waver, who had hurriedly climbed out of bed like a little girl, and said jokingly, "Don't be so nervous. It was just a little joke."

"After all, even if you really want to replenish your magic, you still have to compare the two of you. Your small body and magic circuits can't withstand Rider's torment, so that kind of thing won't happen."

Luo Wei waved his hand and spoke very naturally.

"...You're still as sharp-tongued as ever. You were always bullying me back in the Clock Tower... Not only did you ask me to help you with my essays, you even tricked me into helping you with your homework for Mr. Kenneth's book."

Looking at the uninvited Lowe, Weber's eyes were a little resentful, but more of a helplessness.

"But haven't you also gained a lot in the process? Mr. Kenneth's private teachings are not something you can easily learn in class. They contain a lot of extremely valuable knowledge that cannot even be purchased. As a third-generation magician, you have the opportunity to access the private teachings of a monarch. Do you think this is a bad thing?"

Luo Wei raised an eyebrow at him and continued, "Besides an outlier like me, who else in that kind of place would treat you as an equal, a classmate and a friend, as the head of the family? Who else would be willing to provide you with research resources that are so disproportionate to the rewards?"

"...You're just lazy, aren't you?"

Hearing Luo Wei's words that it was natural for him to treat him as a tool, Weber complained helplessly and then sighed silently.

Although he had some complaints about his senior brother Lo Wei who always liked to add work for him, Weber had to admit that Lo Wei was really the only one who took a fancy to him, appreciated him, and took the initiative to recruit him, a third-generation magician.

Originally from the Clock Tower, he was a member of a side sect of the third generation magician. With low aptitude, he was the most inferior and despised person in Teacher Kenneth's classroom.

He also suffered a lot of cold stares and humiliation because of his bloodline, and was bullied by those nobles who came from multiple generations of magic inheritance. Among them, the only one who was willing to accept him and recognize his talents was only this senior brother in front of him?

No, Luo Wei was the orthodox disciple of Teacher Kenneth, and he was just a student in the classroom, so he was undoubtedly not qualified to call himself a fellow student of Luo Wei.

After all, the gap and importance between disciples and students can never be compared.

"So what are you doing here? Are you here to capture me for Teacher Kenneth?" Weber asked nervously.

Weber was not completely unaware of Rowe's visit.

Because before coming, Luo Wei called him directly and told him that he was also in Fuyuki City and wanted to meet his junior.

When Weber received Luo Wei's call, he was confused...

He even suspected that this was a trap set for him by other masters, with the purpose of luring him out and then getting rid of him.

But after confirming the phone call again and again, and after the person on the other end of the phone explained in detail all the embarrassing things that happened to him in the Clock Tower and the money he owed for materials, Weber had no choice but to believe it.

His bad friend who had been missing for half a year was really in Fuyuki City, and he even came to find him.

In the end, he had no choice but to tell him his current location, which led to his visit today.

When Weber saw the three bright red command seals on the back of Luo Wei's hand, he knew why he was here and where he had been during the six months he had been missing.

It turns out he had already arrived in Fuyuki City to prepare for the Holy Grail War...

Thinking about how he had stolen Teacher Kenneth's holy relic and secretly participated in this Holy Grail War, Waver gradually became uneasy.

"If I answer yes, what will you choose? Will you go with me to see Teacher Kenneth, or will you resist? Will you continue to prove your worth in this cruel war with your frail body that can barely even provide magic to a Servant?"

Faced with Weber's question, Rowe did not answer directly, but chose to ask a question in return.

"I...I don't know."

Facing Luo Wei's question, Weber lowered his head silently.

To be honest, he participated in the Holy Grail War on a whim, just to prove himself to Teacher Kenneth. He still hasn't figured out the situation and rules of the Holy Grail War.

But one thing is certain: after witnessing so many legendary heroes gathered there last night, even Waver, no matter how slow-witted, should have understood...

This was not a battlefield that a third-rate magician like him should enter. The magic ceremony called the Holy Grail War was not the magic exchange meeting he had expected, but a real life-and-death battle.

Ever since he saw that scene last night, he'd been feeling uncertain. Was what he was doing right? How could someone like him possibly survive this kind of bloodshed?

"Hey, Waver, so you're entering the Holy Grail War with a half-hearted mindset?"

Seeing Weber's confusion, Luo Wei shook his head helplessly.

"Sorry, I was just impulsive..."

Facing Rowe's questioning, Weber lowered his head.

"Weber, didn't I tell you long ago that you're neither mediocre nor useless? It's simply because of your bloodline that you can't achieve much in the way of magic. It's a congenital flaw that can't be remedied."

"But... you actually possess other extraordinary talents, but you haven't discovered them yet."

"Another lie of this kind... I'm not a child anymore."

"Didn't you notice... Even if you say so... I can't accept it!"

Hearing what Rowe said, Weber closed his eyes. At the same time, his mind couldn't help but recall the scene where Teacher Kenneth denied his achievements in front of all the students in class. For a moment, his blood rushed to his head.

"My efforts were denied like that, mocked like that... Simply because of my background and bloodline, they ignored my efforts and talents. You, destined to inherit Kenneth's legacy and become the new El-Melloi, will never understand this feeling!"

Weber gritted his teeth and spoke his true feelings to Rowe in front of him.

"Do you think... I'll be the new El-Melloi?"

Hearing Weber's words, Luo Wei smiled and shook his head.

"Isn't it? Everyone in the classroom knows that you are Teacher Kenneth's direct disciple. It's already a foregone conclusion that you will inherit the classroom in the future..."

"No, Mr. Waver, I will not become El-Melloi. Instead, someone else will become El-Melloi II."

Luo Wei answered seriously.

"Someone else? Then... who is it?!"

Weber looked into Rowe's eyes, his face full of disbelief.

He knew his friend very well.

Although he often deceived himself and used him as a tool, Weber knew that Rowe was not a person who spoke nonsense. At least from the time they became friends until now, he had never lied to him. That was why he was extremely surprised by Rowe's words.

Then, with astonishment, Waver saw that the originally serious Luo Wei suddenly smiled mysteriously, and then he stretched out his finger and gently pointed at...

Own?!

"It's you, Weber Wilster."

"it's me?!"

Upon hearing this outrageous answer, Waver's eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with disbelief: "Are you kidding me?! How could it be me?!"

"I'm telling the truth, Waver. You are El-Melloi II."

Luo Wei still spoke seriously.

"Oh, you mean this kid?" Hearing Rowe's words, even Rider, who was diligently rubbing the controller to crack Rowe's infinite combo, couldn't help but become interested. He looked at Waver behind him and curiously approached Rowe. "Will he become the so-called monarch?"

"Yes, he will become the monarch, El-Melloi II." Rowe put down the controller and nodded at Waver. "And in the future, Waver will grow another 30 centimeters taller."

"Why are we still talking about height?!"

"Hahaha, little Master, it looks like you've won this Holy Grail War!"

Rider stood up, patting Waver on the back and laughing. "This is only natural. After all, how can I lose with this king here?"

"Do you think my wish is just to grow 30 centimeters taller?!"

Hearing this, Waver jumped up from the bed in anger, but was lifted up by Rider's big hand.

"What's wrong with wishing to grow taller? Little Master, you're so weak because you're too short..."

"Lovi, stop teasing me. How could I not know Teacher Kenneth's character? How could a man like Teacher pass on the name of El-Melloi to me?" After being pushed back by Rider, Waver covered his forehead and directly denied Lovi's unreliable topic. "The probability of me inheriting El-Melloi is even lower than the sudden extinction of humanity."

"Good boy, you actually got it right..."

"Well, that's only natural. After all, Mr. Kenneth is also a complete aristocrat. He is also a genius, a leading genius who is far ahead in the way of magic."

Rowe nodded, then looked at Waver and continued, "Unlike you, who only has theories but no results, and whose talent makes it difficult to achieve results, he is a genius with both. No one will question his theories because Teacher Kenneth has the ability to turn them into results. Even if he is said to become a Grand Master, people will take it for granted."

As for Weber, Lowe mercilessly pointed out the fact that he now only had theories but no results.

This made Waver blush as his face turned red.

"What are you trying to say?! Doesn't this just prove that I can't be El-Melloi II?"

"No... I mean, if Mr. Kenneth were still alive, then there would be no possibility for you to inherit the title of El-Melloi II."

Luo Wei shook his head, then leaned over to look at Weber, who still had an unwilling look on his face, and whispered softly.

"So...what if Mr. Kenneth unfortunately passed away? In that case, wouldn't the possibility be a little greater..."

The devilish whisper echoed in Weber's ears, causing him, who was originally furious, to widen his eyes. He then looked at Rowe in disbelief as he uttered such horrifying words.

"You...what on earth are you talking about?!"

Weber's teeth began to chatter involuntarily.

"Shh... you've heard it explained slowly."

Luo Wei raised his finger and smiled at Weber.

"Do you want to know the truth? An answer about the future..."

That serious and earnest look also made him gradually stop making noise.

Finally, looking at Luo Wei's eyes, Weber swallowed his saliva, and then spoke with difficulty in a dry voice.

"……I think."

"This is the right thing to do."

After hearing Weber's answer, Luo Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and then an intriguing smile appeared on his face.
