I'm really not a top magician

"However, we, the vanguard of the Knights of Fiona, are not enemies of Archibald's camp," said Aigo Sajo.

"What? You know my real name?"

Lancer was very surprised by what Sajo Aika said.

Logically speaking, the two parties should have just met each other, but unexpectedly, their real names were immediately discovered.

This means that Aika Sajo knew her real name from the very beginning.

Such an intelligence gap is very harmful on the battlefield.

Just as Lancer was surprised, a voice suddenly came.

"Um, Sajo, how do you know that Lancer's Master is mine?"

A cold voice came from nowhere and spread all around. Gudako and Mashu were both startled, but Sajo Aika was not surprised at all.

"Lancer's Master? Where does that sound come from?"

Mashu calmly observed the shadows around her, but could not find any other figures. She held her large shield at arm's length, ready to prevent any possible battle.

"This is magic camouflage. The Lancer's Master is nearby."

Sajo Aika faced Lancer and explained to Mashu without turning her head. Then she continued to speak to a shadow somewhere:

"Teacher Kenneth, I'm not here to fight you this time. I'm here specifically to cooperate with you."

Unlike the negotiations with Rider, when facing Teacher Kenneth, Sajo Aika directly stated her purpose.

"Oh, cooperation, but we are enemies?"

The cold voice sounded again, but it was full of anticipation.

"So-called enemies can also become friends. It's just a matter of the size of the interests," said Aika Sajo.

"So...how do you want to work together?"

"I can tell you where the caster is."

"Oh, caster, so what?"

The moment he heard caster, the voice that was originally expectant suddenly became cold, as if Sajo Aika's bargaining chips were completely unable to impress Lancer.

However, Aika Sajo was not at all surprised by the change in Teacher Kenneth, and even said that it was completely within her expectations.

"Because you need to cooperate with me."

Sajo Aika chuckled and said, "Originally, the relic you prepared should have been that of the legendary Conqueror King Iskandar. That Heroic Spirit would have been very powerful. Unfortunately, that relic was stolen, so you had to find a temporary relic, and that's how you summoned Diarmuid."

"However, due to the restrictions of the Holy Grail War, Diarmuid, who was supposed to wield two swords and two spears, has to be summoned as a lancer, which has greatly reduced his martial arts skills. The problem you face now is how to defeat other servants using a lancer."

"Let's not discuss other classes like Saber and Archer for now. Just think about the summoned rider Iskandar. How will you handle it? Or let me put it this way, can your current Servant handle it?"

Sajo Aika asked directly.

However, the words were unintentional, but the listeners took them seriously. This made the Lancer, as a servant, very unhappy. He was about to pick up his double guns and fight with Aika Satsuki. However, due to his master's order, he could only stare at Aika Satsuki fiercely.

Because for a knight, Aika Sajo directly insulted his dignity as a knight.

However, as a superior, Kenneth El-Melloi understood the true meaning of Sajo Aika:

"So your Servant can handle it?"

"I can handle it with my holy sword."

Shajo Aige simply took out the holy sword and just by placing it in front of them, everyone could feel a sacred aura from the light on it.

Hearing this, Kenneth had to admit that his brain was short-circuited.

He almost forgot that as a magician, Aika Sajo was the most powerful being in this Holy Grail War.

The holy sword in her hand can completely defeat the Noble Phantasms of most servants.

"Since you are so strong, do you still need to cooperate with us?" Kenneth asked.

"That's because this Holy Grail War involves beings more powerful than you and me. If it's that guy, if he gets serious, he might be able to end the Holy Grail War in a day."

Said Shatiao Aige.

Kenneth actually agreed with this statement.

If he had summoned Iskandar, he might not have thought so.

But the lancer he summoned,

In terms of Noble Phantasms, he is indeed at a huge disadvantage compared to others.

It's just that Sajo Aika said that the Holy Grail War would be ended within a day.

This made Kenneth a little bit unimaginable.

We are all heroes chosen from the history of mankind.

The winner will be decided within a day.

That is definitely a Heroic Spirit whose strength is completely superior to that of other Servants.

Hearing the hesitation in Kenneth's voice, Sajo Aika quickly continued:

"Your Servant's twin guns restrain my Servant."

"And my strength is also superior to yours, Teacher."

"But among the other five, there are those who are even more powerful than us. If our common goal is to achieve victory, then the possibility of us cooperating should be greater."

"And my cooperation with you is not just a verbal deal. I will use the self-enforced certificate and share with you any information about other masters."

"Of course. I heard that you were planning to propose to Miss Sora recently. To be honest, our group is mostly composed of women, so we can help you. And my Servant Merlin, as a flower magician, is also proficient in this field and may be able to give you considerable help."

Aika Sajo put forward all her conditions.

Maybe it was the last one I heard.

Or maybe the previous conditions are good,

Kenneth actually removed the magic camouflage and walked out of the shadows on his own initiative.

"Very good. I don't dislike capable people. I will accept your proposal."

"I can neither run nor hide, so let me see your methods!"

Kenneth took the initiative to come out,

Coming to Shatiao Aige,

In the past, Kenneth would definitely treat Sajo Aika as a student in his own classroom.

And now,

The two of them stood on the battlefield called the Holy Grail War.

Kenneth has already recognized her as his rival.

Of course,

There is no eternal opponent.

There are no permanent friends,

There are only eternal benefits.

"Is it really okay, my master?" Lancer asked respectfully.

"Don't worry, Lancer. This is Sajo Aika, my most outstanding student. Her proposal is excellent and worth collaborating with."

"And in this first battle, we must be cautious!"

Kenneth hunched his hands over his back and spoke confidently.

"...Understood."

Lancer didn't show too much bad emotion,

If this is the decision of my master, then as a subordinate, I have to accept it.

Both parties briefly examined the contents of the self-compulsory certificate.

The content is very simple: within 72 hours after signing the contract, Aika Sajo must not commit any act of betrayal against Kenneth El-Melloi, including injury, killing, etc.

After both parties have signed the self-compulsory certificate,

Aige Shajo led Kenneth to reunite with Weber.

But when Weber saw Teacher Kenneth,

His face showed an expression of stomachache that he had never had before.

"Unfortunate!"

Chapter 173: Hell Ahead! [Additional Update]

After the negotiation with the Lancer team,

Aika Sajo brought everyone to reunite with Weber and Rider.

However, something went wrong the moment the two groups met.

"I see?"

The scene suddenly came together because of Kenneth's complaints.

Kenneth El-Melloi, who had never maintained the elegance of the Lord of El-Melloi in front of others, spoke in a completely different tone when he saw Waver, completely revealing his hatred.

"What on earth made you go crazy and steal my relic? If you think about it, it might be because you wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War, Mr. Waver Velvet."

After hearing the person he hated call out his name viciously, Waver

His body subconsciously hid behind the rider's cloak.

The rider that used to give him such a headache has now become the seemingly safest harbor between him and Teacher Kenneth.

Of course, there is nothing surprising about why Teacher Kenneth is standing here.

As the monarch of the El-Melloi School, even if the fragments of Iskandar's cloak were stolen, the relics of other Heroic Spirits could still be prepared quickly.

"What a shame. I wanted to make this lovely student happy. Waver, mortals like you deserve a peaceful life."

Kenneth El-Melloi could no longer contain his emotions at the moment.

But Weber already felt dizzy, and he didn't know how many times he had experienced the feeling of his stomach churning.

The feeling of lecturer Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, his harsh and elongated face, his blue eyes filled with a mixture of insult and pity, looking down at Weber from above his head was once again deeply felt.

After being verbally attacked by Teacher Kenneth, Weber originally wanted to respond with beautiful sarcasm.

He was able to outmaneuver him, skillfully making the Heroic Spirit Iskandar his obedient servant. Wasn't this the perfect revenge for the humiliation he had endured in the Clock Tower for so long?

"Yes! It's no longer a lecturer-student relationship."

"Now he is my real enemy."

"I can hate him with all my heart,"

"It's okay to take his life."

"Now that things have come to this, he is certainly my opponent."

During the years Waver lived in the Clock Tower, he hated the arrogant lecturer, whether asleep or awake. He even wanted to kill him several times.

He thought he could hold his head high and proudly say to Kenneth all the mocking words he had just thought of in his heart.

But when he noticed Teacher Kenneth's eyes

He had hated this man for so long,

However, this is the first time he has treated me with such hostility.

For the first time, the young boy Waver experienced the murderous gaze of a true magus.

The confidence I had prepared in my heart was shattered by just this look.

Kenneth had a sharp eye and saw the frozen fear on Weber's face. He continued speaking in a creepy and coldly playful voice, as if teasing Weber.

"There's nothing I can do, Waver-kun. I'll give you some extracurricular tutoring. I'll teach you the true horror and pain of magi slaughtering each other without reservation. You'll be honored, won't you?"

At that moment, Waver was trembling with fear, not even bothering to consider the humiliation this sentence brought him.

To become a true magus, one must be determined to die. This fundamental principle, usually understood only in words, now dawned on Waver. The man's gaze, emanating from nowhere, was even more deadly. When a magus harbors murderous intent, that's when he decides to issue a death warrant. Waver hadn't known this until now.
