The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

“That connection keeps them rooted in history.”

"The body may dissipate, but the soul is forever engraved on it. Through a series of influences such as magic, it is possible to form a servant relationship with them."

"Um...senpai, do you know what 'magic' is?"

"I know." Ian smiled. "It's something that can do a lot of things, right?"

It wasn't that Ian intended to show off in front of Matthew.

In the memories obtained from the simulation, Morgan had used magic more than once.

Although it may not be the same as it is now, there must be parts that can circulate between them in essence.

"That's good."

Mash smiled.

"The bodies of 'Heroic Spirits' are long gone, so if we want them to return to the real world, we must have a concept called 'Servants' that can be manipulated."

"Senior Ian, can you understand what I'm saying?"

"..."

Ian thought for a while and replied:

"It's the same bottle of water, but it needs a new bottle, is that what you mean?"

"Hmm... Although this understanding is a little biased, it's not a big problem."

have to say.

Mashu is quite good at explaining things, and Ian can already roughly understand a series of terms such as "heroic spirit".

He realized something else.

"Then Mashu, in our next battle, will we use the 'Servants' that appear due to the appearance of the 'Heroic Spirits'?"

"Yes!"

Mashu's hand swept across the space in front of her.

Three different lights appeared in front of the two people.

"Senior, we are going to use them this time!"

Ian took a closer look.

I saw some star-shaped objects hovering in the three beams of light in front of me.

He reached out and touched it.

Some explanatory concepts emerged in my mind.

The three beams of light are:

Altria Pendragon (Saber);

Archer;

Cu Chulainn (Lancer).

Ian felt amazing to feel the information coming from his fingertips.

"Mashu, is this what is called a 'Servant'?"

"Yes." Matthew nodded to confirm Ian's statement.

"This is the meaning of the mock battle - to allow us to get used to the Servants in a relatively safe environment."

"In this way, when we really summon the 'Servant' obtained by the corresponding 'Heroic Spirit' in the real world, we can cultivate tacit understanding at the fastest speed!"

"Of course." Mash smiled awkwardly.

"Due to technical issues, they are the only Servants that can be simulated."

"And compared to the real 'Servants', their strength is greatly reduced."

"But for seniors who want to get familiar with 'Servants', this situation might be better!"

The Big Three in the Novice Village?

It was not difficult for Ian to understand the situation where there were only three "Servants" available.

After all, if there really were no restrictions, there would be no need to call it a simulation war, it could just be called a real war.

And speaking of which—

Isn’t this a name that you care about very much?

Altria Pendragon.

Ian couldn't help feeling a little emotional as he didn't expect that they would "reunite" under such circumstances.

"Senior, please choose a 'Servant' you like!"

"Then I choose this."

Ian chose Altria Pendragon (Saber) without hesitation.

"Senior really chose this."

"That--"

"I choose this!"

Mash touched another light - the one she chose was Cu Chulainn (Lancer).

After the selection was made, the lights quickly floated forward and then gathered into the shape of a human.

Artoria and Chu Kulin, the "Servants", appeared in front of them.

Mashu's guidance followed:

"Senior, it seems this 'Servant' is very suitable for you!"

"but--"

"This is just the beginning, we still need to make them even better."

"And if you want to make them stronger, you need to know that the strength of a 'Servant' depends on three aspects."

"First, Master, that is, your own strength, Senior."

"Secondly, the heroic spirit itself, a great hero who commands great power cannot be worse than an unknown pawn in the corner of history."

"Third, there are objective conditions such as compatibility, environment, and restraint. If I were to elaborate on this, it would be quite complicated. In short, it is the influence of external factors."

"After saying so much, you may still be a little confused."

"So--"

Matthew held Ian's hand.

"Senior, please let Altria attack Qiu Kulin!"

Ian hesitated for a moment and asked a question.

"Um, Mashu, can any attack be used?"

"Yes!" Mashu nodded, "Chaldea itself will provide enough magic support for the mock battle."

"So please don't be polite and attack me hard!"

As soon as Mashu finished speaking, the direction of events was beyond her expectations.

I saw Artoria raising the sword in her hand.

Then she raised it above her head.

The sound simulated by the system echoes in the space.

The Sword of Contracted Victory (Excalibur)——!

A huge blade of light appeared above her head, then accelerated down, forming a light like a fault, which dealt a powerful blow to the space.

Before Qiu Kulin could react, he was swallowed up by the penetrating light.

But after everything is over.

The blue spearman Qiu Kulin, who suffered such a blow, was not destroyed directly. Instead, his legs were shaking, and he barely stood on the ground with both hands holding the upright red spear.

If he was not a virtual "Servant", he might have a very rich expression at this moment.

Mashu was stunned for a long time before she recovered.

"Senior."

"What did you use?!"

"what?"

Ian was a little confused.

"Mashu, didn't you say that any attack would work?"

"But this is too much!"

Mashu looked at the "battlefield" in front of her, and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"It may cause a serious burden on the system later!"

"Sorry, my problem." Ian admitted his mistake neatly.

"I just wanted to see if I could do this."

"..."

Mashu sighed, calmed down a little, and began to praise Ian.

"However, Senior is indeed worthy of being called the 'Monster of Group A'. He launched such a powerful attack the first time he used a 'Servant'."

"Fortunately."

Ian looked at the "battlefield" with a look of sadness in his eyes.

"I've seen the possibility that Altria is more powerful than this."

"Ah?" The girl opened her mouth slightly.

"Nothing, Matthew." Ian shrugged. "Just think of it as me complaining."

"but--"

"I would like to ask you one more question."

"what is the problem?"

"that is--"

Ian looked at Altria and Qiu Kulin.

"In this mock battle, are there really only three Servants that can be summoned?"

92. A fourth possibility besides the three simulated servants? (-word chapter)

"Eh?"

Mashu hadn't recovered from Ian's monstrous simulated battle performance yet, and was confused by his current words.

"Any options other than these three 'Servants'?"

"Senior Ian, is this what you want to express?"

"……almost."

"Let me look for it!" Mashu did not deny what Ian said right away. "I haven't participated in a mock battle for a while. Maybe the director has added new heroic spirit data to it!"

"Thank you so much, Mash."

"No, I feel very happy to be able to solve the problem for Senior Ian!"

After saying this, Mashu suddenly realized that her behavior seemed to have gone a little too far, so she immediately lowered her head and continued to operate in silence.

Her fingers moved back and forth on the empty space, and she looked serious and professional.
