People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

Chapter 6: Saving Private Kenneth (K words)

"So, this is roughly what I've observed about the future."

As Luo Wei spoke, he took a sip of the fat otaku happy water handed to him by Iskandar.

"Much more comfortable..."

After telling such a long story, it's time for him to moisten his throat.

"How...how could this happen?"

After carefully listening to Rowe's series of serious and bizarre stories, Weber's expression became even stranger.

In the end, not knowing how to face it, he stuffed his head back into the quilt and covered it with the pillow, as if to avoid reality.

"What's wrong? Don't you like this story?"

Luo Wei sat on the floor, playing a new round of games with Iskandar, and turned back to write to Weber who was lying on the bed.

"Or do you find it too bizarre to believe? Regarding your future as El-Melloi II. Do you think I'd be so bored as to make up such an outrageous excuse to lie to you?"

"Well, even though it sounds ridiculous, I can still tell from your tone and eyes how serious you are... and my intuition tells me that this is probably true."

"I never imagined you'd come across something like the Second Magic: Parallel World Observation, and even observed such an outrageous parallel world event... But, to me, this kind of thing is simply filled with malicious intent."

Weber huddled in his bed and continued with a helpless tone, "As expected, there's no way I can accept this kind of thing with peace of mind..."

After hearing that Kenneth would die in the Fourth Holy Grail War and that he would inherit his name and classroom.

Although it was difficult for Waver to understand the feelings of his own parallel world, the complexity in his heart at this moment was no less than that of his own.

"Oh, what's wrong with you?"

Rovi tilted his head, expertly rubbing the combo on the controller, and demonstrated a set of Kusanagi Kyo's killer combos to Rider beside him, making him scratch his head anxiously. He continued to talk to Waver, "Is it about the possibility that Kenneth teacher might die? Or is it the possibility that you, a half-baked, third-rate magician, will inherit El-Melloi II?"

"Needless to say? Everything, of course!"

Waver retorted excitedly, "Although I hate Mr. Kenneth and am extremely disgusted by his arrogant attitude, that is from the perspective of an ordinary person. As a magician, I certainly respect him and admire his talent! I also dream of becoming a magician like him one day..."

"But I also know that it's impossible for a third-rate person like me to become a magician like Mr. Kenneth. And unlike a genius like you, Mr. Kenneth must really hate me. Maybe he doesn't even consider me his student?!"

Weber's voice became more and more excited, and then he actually crawled out of the bed with body movements. His eyes were slightly red, and he looked at the two people below who were still playing video games seriously with a wronged look.

As expected, Iskandar's Iori Yagami was defeated by Rowe's Kyo Kusanagi in one move, and he was so anxious that he grabbed his hair.

"Oh, you..."

Luo Wei sighed and was about to say something, but Iskandar, who had just been completely defeated by Luo Wei, was one step faster than him. He stretched out his finger and flicked Weber's head, then said unhappily,

"Little Master, you're saying these immature things again... No wonder you're looked down upon by that so-called Kenneth."

"How do you put it... should it be a little brat? Well... he is indeed quite small, but his brain is not very bright."

Iskandar stroked his chin and murmured thoughtfully.

"Why are you bringing up my height again? Didn't Luo Wei say that I'll definitely grow another 30 centimeters taller in the future?!"

Waver protested fiercely.

"Hahahaha, let's talk about the future in the future. You are still a child now."

"hateful……"

Faced with Rider's teasing, Waver, who had no way to deal with it, could only sulk.

"Hey, Weber, you know what? Sometimes human growth only takes a moment~"

Rowe put down the controller, declining Iskandar's invitation to fight another three hundred rounds. He looked at Weber and said, "Humanity's future is the most changeable, and it also has the most possibilities. No one can absolutely predict a person's future. In fact, I know a very powerful fortune teller who can predict future events with 100% certainty. Even Merlin's legendary clairvoyance might not be comparable to hers."

"You're talking about... absolute future vision? Is there such a thing in this world?"

After hearing Rowe's example, Weber couldn't help but be surprised, and Iskandar beside him even touched his chin thoughtfully.

"Absolute prediction! That's truly a cheating ability! If I had this ability when I was alive, I could have predicted Darius's military movements. In that case, I would have definitely won the war in a very short time!"

As the King of Conquerors, Iskandar was obviously very interested in the 100% divination that Lowe mentioned.

"Alright, I've made my decision! When I obtain the Holy Grail and acquire a new body, I will recruit that expert who can absolutely predict the future into my fold! Then, I'll re-form an invincible and powerful army!"

"..."

"..."

Neither Rowe nor Weber paid any attention to the fool Rider's interruption. He certainly would not reveal the existence of the Mother of Guanbuzi City. He just continued to speak as if telling a story.

"But... Weber, think about it. Even if it's an absolute prediction, is it truly absolute? If someone predicts that you'll eat cake tonight, then you can choose not to eat cake, circumventing their prediction, which is the original future, and create a new possibility... If this works for small things, what about big things? Like your own growth?"

Luo Wei pointed at his height and continued, "Before I told you, who could have imagined that you would grow another thirty centimeters in the future? So don't underestimate yourself, and don't deny your future. Who can say for sure about possibilities? What kind of person you want to become is always up to you. Whether you want to become better or worse, it is up to you to decide..."

"I always feel like you're just giving me chicken soup..."

"Perhaps? But isn't what I said the truth? As magi, you and I should be able to understand its meaning."

Alas, I understand it, but I still can’t accept it!

"A traitor like me ended up inheriting the teacher's title..."

Waver's expression remained awkward, and he still found it difficult to accept the reality.

"Well, this is just one possibility anyway. It's not a bad thing to think about it."

Luo Wei waved his hand but didn't force anything.

"Your future self will be far better than your present self..."

When it comes to overtime, it's a big deal.

“There are so many excellent ones…”

Weber muttered a few words to himself, then looked at Rowe again and asked.

"Luo Wei, can I ask you a few questions in detail?"

"Ask me a question? About your future? Sure, there's nothing you can't talk about anyway."

Luo Wei shrugged and told him that it was no problem.

"Then I asked..."

"First of all, why don't you inherit in the future? Even if Teacher Kenneth really died, you would be the more suitable heir, right? How could it be my turn!"

"Oh? Lee Sin, you finally found the highlight."

Luo Wei applauded and then answered Weber's good question.

"It's simple. I don't exist in that parallel world, or rather, I died a long time ago. I unfortunately lost my life in a magic experiment."

The situation is just like that person in this world who went against the will of heaven. He studied the Book of Law and actually sacrificed his own soul in order to perform the angel summoning ritual.

It's also a complete rebellion.

He thought to himself.

"Are you dead?"

"Well, he died young."

Waver looked surprised, then hesitated before asking the next question: "What about the others? Even if you're not here, there will be someone more suitable than me, right?"

"Yes, there are indeed people who are more suitable than you."

Luo Wei nodded, "But they all chose to refuse."

"Why? Shouldn't the chance to inherit a monarch's throne and legacy be something that people should be eager to see?! Why would you refuse?"

Following Rowe's answer, Weber also sat up seriously. He had grasped the crux of the matter.

"Yes, according to common sense, Mr. Kenneth's legacy must be very extensive, including the school, classrooms, and research results."

"However, that's based on the premise of a natural death. What if I tell you... after his death, he not only left behind this inheritance, but also a huge and exaggerated debt?"

"At this point, do you think anyone would be willing to inherit? So naturally, you have to bear the brunt of this loss."

"debt……"

Hearing Rowe's words, Weber revealed an expression of disbelief and replied in surprise, "How is this possible? It's understandable that others don't know about Teacher Kenneth, but you must be very aware of his prowess... He's a prodigy and genius in the magic world. Every one of his concepts and discoveries is truly groundbreaking, and their value cannot be measured in monetary terms. How could he possibly have so much debt?! What's going on?"

"It's very simple..."

Luo Wei tilted his head slightly. He had already anticipated Weber's question.

"As I said before, unlike dreamers like you, Mr. Kenneth is a doer, someone who can put theory into practice. In his hands, those theories have the opportunity to become results, so they are naturally full of value. But what if... he dies? Who will put these theories into practice? You? Or the other students? Who do you think has the ability to do that?"

"And when he dies, the other monarchs will swarm in and ruthlessly divide his legacy. Who will leave the good things to the next heir? Furthermore, Kenneth-sensei's magic seals have been destroyed, with less than one layer left..."

"You, you said...Kenneth-sensei's magic seal is only 10% left?!!"

Hearing this answer, the already uneasy Weber fell off the bed without even sitting still. He quickly crawled to Rowe's side and looked at him with disbelief.

"Only one tenth of the magic seal that has been passed down for nine generations remains... The entire inheritance has been destroyed..."

Just the thought of this kind of thing made him tremble uncontrollably.

Afterwards, he didn't continue asking questions. Instead, he racked his brains and began to frantically think of more things. His expression began to change constantly as if he had eaten poisonous mushrooms...

"Boy."

Seeing this, Rider wanted to step forward and ask what was going on, but was stopped by Luo Wei.

He knew that Weber was about to figure things out.

Ten minutes passed in a flash.

Finally, after a long period of thinking and torment, Weber gradually deduced the cause and effect of the matter. Then, he turned his stiff head like a broken machine, looked at Luo Wei beside him, and asked word by word.

"Then, Luo Wei... please tell me, is Mr. Kenneth's death related to me? Was it because I stole the holy relic he prepared that led to his... death?"

"Hmm... there is indeed a connection. According to the outcome of that day's world line, it was because you stole his cloak fragment and summoned Rider, which forced him to summon a very troublesome Servant, indirectly leading to his death."

Luo Wei did not lie.

Even according to the original world line, it was because Weber stole the cloak fragments that led to Kenneth summoning Diarmuid.

As for Diarmuid, Luo Wei could only give him one comment: "Not enough to accomplish anything, but more than enough to cause trouble."

Although he seems obedient, he will disobey his lord's orders on the battlefield because of his dignity as a knight. Because of his ill-fated relationship, Kenneth's fiancée was bewitched, which made Kenneth absent-minded throughout the whole process and was killed without using his full strength.

What if, what if, Kenneth's servant is Iskandar?

Although Luo Wei also didn't see any affinity between them, but the situation couldn't be worse than Diarmuid, right? At least he wouldn't be able to charm his fiancée.

Even though the possibility is still slim, Kenneth does have a chance of survival.

"Is that so... Then, is the reason you're participating in the competition also to..."

Waver lowered his head as he spoke. He stared at the bright red Command Seal on the back of Rowe's hand and asked, "...Save Teacher Kenneth."

"That's certainly a factor. After all, Teacher Kenneth has treated me well and has done me a favor. Knowing that he might die, as his disciple, I have no reason not to help."

Luo Wei nodded and admitted it directly. Although he participated in the Holy Grail War for his own calculations, it was undeniable that he really wanted to help Kenneth, and this feeling was definitely not fake.

"Well, what do you think? How does this future look like for you?"

"Teacher Kenneth died suddenly, and you, a rejected person, inherited everything... Is this what you always imagined?"

Luo Wei looked seriously into Weber's trembling eyes, then asked word by word, "Now tell me your choice?"

"What's your wish? And what are you going to do next..."

"My...my wish."

After learning everything, Waver slowly raised his head.

Especially after learning that his reckless behavior would kill teacher Kenneth, he had no hope for the future at all, even when he knew that he would become a monarch.

At this moment, his heart was filled with deep regret and fear.

He was complaining about Teacher Kenneth's contempt and disrespect for him, and wanted to prove himself to him, but not in this way... He definitely didn't intend to kill him, let him die...

This is not the ending he wanted!
