I'm really not a top magician

For nearly five minutes, Kenneth cursed at the air for a long time.

Also, this is Fuyuki City in the Far East, which is quite far away from the Clock Tower. If they curse at the Clock Tower, they will most likely be hit back by the automatic defense spells of those two because of the curse involved.

However, with Teacher Kenneth's ability, that kind of automatic feedback is not a big deal.

However, seeing Lord El-Melloi losing his composure in such a way, Mash felt a sigh in her heart.

"To mix truth with lies is simply too bad!"

However, Mashu was also vaguely aware of a problem.

It seems that Miss Sajo is very skilled at cheating people, and seems like a habitual offender.

But...how did this influence come about?

If Sajo Aika heard this question, she would definitely say that Mashu is too young.

Mashu and Teacher Kenneth would never have imagined that the images used to copy the past could actually be faked.

Before leaving the Clock Tower, Aika Sajo gave a magic bag to Luna and Lorelai.

The above describes my plan in great detail.

The first thing is to find a group of people who look and resemble Tohsaka Tokiomi, old Lord Barthelmero, and Lord Baru Yereta.

Try to use a real person, as it will be more realistic, but it is also possible if you rely on a magician's disguise skills.

After finding these actors, Lorelai and Luna filmed a disc completely according to the requirements in Sha Tiao Ai Ge's kit, and then sent it to Sha Tiao Ai Ge through Barthelmero's channels in the fastest way.

Then, to make the play more realistic, Lorelei teamed up with Baru Yereta to attack the El-Melloi School.

In order to prevent Teacher Kenneth from noticing anything unusual, it would be better to slightly reduce the clarity of the image.

This step is just a precaution.

In fact, when designing this plan, Aika Sajo knew that Kenneth would definitely fall into the trap.

The magicians of the Clock Tower were completely indifferent to these modern devices. Even if they knew about them, they only understood their simple functions and never delved into them.

Of course, if this strategy were used against Emiya Kiritsugu, he would most likely be deeply suspicious, because he knew that this thing could be faked. However, Mr. Kenneth did not know this.

Moreover, Teacher Kenneth attaches great importance to honor. If he is called upon like a bargaining chip at the dinner table, anger will definitely occupy Teacher Kenneth's heart. Once he is angry, he will become irritable and irrational. This is vividly demonstrated in his battle with Kiritsugu Emiya.

So Teacher Kenneth would never notice the problem.

Thinking of this, Sajo Aige couldn't help but applaud herself.

"So, who was the person who could come up with such a sophisticated strategy? That's right, it's me, Sajo Aika!"

But at this moment no one could hear Sajo Aika's boasting.

Hearing Kenneth's insults, Sajo Aika's lips curled up slightly, and he had indeed taken the bait. Then, adding fuel to the fire, he said:

"This is the perfect arena, a perfect venue that could completely deceive Kayneth El-Melloi, who wasn't just a researcher but also wanted to pursue the Feat of Arms in actual combat. This is the true nature of the Fuyuki Ritual. Both invited participants like me and the overseer, the Holy Church, are bait to make this deception more authentic."

Kenneth got completely furious when he heard this.

"How thoughtful, how vicious! Not only those idiots obsessed with democracy, but also that old bastard Bartomero! Indeed! He would do such a thing! I...why on earth would I waste my time on such a futile thing!"

Although Mash had expected Kenneth's reaction, she was still surprised.

"Ah... I've really taken the bait. Miss Sajō's plan is truly remarkable."

Seeing Kenneth take the bait, Sajo Aika said, "Having said that, you were very wise to detect the enemy's plot. Miss Sora will definitely be impressed by your reliability."

"Is... is that so? Hmm..."

"That's absolutely right. I'm a woman too, so of course I understand the inner world of women. How should I put it... Yeah—even though I had no interest in him, this time he showed a trustworthy side, which was a contrast, and my dislike immediately turned into love—something like that."

Kenneth almost laughed out loud after hearing this.

"Is that so—! No, the premise of this is actually like this...? But never mind, in the end, everything is fine."

Hearing this, Gudako felt a little sympathy for the man.

"Ah... I feel a little sympathetic towards this guy... Miss Sajo cooperates with him just because he... is easy to fool, right?" Gudako thought to herself.

"Master, your expression is crooked again, you need a poker face!"

Mashu quickly reminded.

Although I feel a little sorry for Lord El-Melloi, the mission still needs to be completed.

"In any case, the situation is now a race against time. Please rush back to the Clock Tower as soon as possible to stop their conspiracy. No matter how strong the Archibald family's foundation is, it may still be overthrown by their despicable conspiracy if you are not here." said Aika Sajo.

"Humph, this concerns the fate of my family. Damn Baru Yereta, damned Barsemeluo! Sora, clean them up quickly!"

Along with Kenneth's voice, the sound of cleaning up came from deep inside the abandoned workshop.

At this time, Lancer came forward and said:

"Is the new battlefield on the other side of the sea... My master, please allow me to continue to accompany you! I never placed my hopes on the Holy Grail. The battlefield you face is where the strength of my spear can be demonstrated!"

Lancer's words made Kenneth feel a little relieved. Aika Sajou beside him sighed:

"Ah, what a reliable Servant! Miss Sora would surely be very happy to have him by her side!"

Shajo Aige puts emphasis on the last sentence.

Kenneth's expression changed slightly at a certain moment, and the emotion in his heart disappeared in an instant.

After a brief thought, Kenneth used the Command Spell in his hand and ordered:

"Lancer, I order you to remain here and participate in the Holy Grail War."

"You...what did you say?"

"Even if this is all a scam, I've already taken the initiative to participate. If I can't achieve a formal victory, I'll be humiliated."

At this time, Sajo Aika praised: "As expected of Mr. Kenneth, he really has the demeanor of an aristocrat."

Kenneth turned to look at Aika Sajo. "Then I entrust my Servant to you as a farewell gift. You must act as my agents and demonstrate the spirit of the El-Melloi School! Defeat every one of those who participated in this foolish farce and show them who is truly powerful!"

"Please leave it to us!" said Aika Sajo.

"Since this is Master's wish, I shall obey. I will certainly complete the mission you have entrusted to me together with my new Master!"

Chapter 224 Even if I am hated, I will not regret it

Dr. Roman was also dumbfounded when he saw this:

"This is ridiculous! Just relying on lies, you can re-conclude a contract with the servant!"

"Romani, you've got this wrong."

Just as Dr. Roman was complaining, a female servant came out from behind him.

This is the heroic spirit - Leonardo da Vinci.

Da Vinci placed the hot coffee he had just heated on the table and explained seriously:

"Everyone can lie, but in this case, the only one who can snatch back a Servant with just a lie like this is Sajo Aika."

"She planned to grasp Lord El-Melloi's character, exploiting its flaws... no, to say flaws is a bit of an overstatement; it's more like characteristics. Sajo Aika saw through the Lord's character and devised a series of tactics tailored to his needs. This was the key to the success of this operation."

"Besides, it's completely impossible to deceive the monarch with words alone. So, to be on the safe side and to make the plan seem real, Sajo Aika had her friends in the Clock Tower join forces with Barthel Mello and Lord Baru Yereta to launch an attack on the El-Melloi School."

"Of course, the attack isn't the point. The point is that this is a real event, and it's this reality that made Kenneth El-Melloi believe what Aika Saito said."

"And there are political implications. Baru Yereta is on the Democratic side, while El-Melloi is on the Aristocratic side. They are inherently enemies. Furthermore, under the leadership of Kenneth El-Melloi, the El-Melloi School is growing stronger, potentially threatening the dominance of its leader, Barthelmero. Therefore, Satsuki's lies are plausible. That's why Kenneth is so resolute in believing them."

"The CD that Sajo Aika then produced was also strong evidence. However, I believe she forged the contents of the CD."

"Kayneth never took this Holy Grail War seriously. As someone who values his family so much, upon hearing about the incident at the Clock Tower, he would definitely rush back to help. Furthermore, he is a proud person, so for the sake of his reputation, he might even give the Command Seals to Sajo Aika to remind him."

"So, all of this was a plot by Sajo Aika. And the terrifying thing is, Sajo Aika had already laid this plan before she even left the Clock Tower. It's no exaggeration to say that she probably knew it from the very beginning, truly predicted the development of this Holy Grail War, which is why she came up with this plan so early on... Damn, with such talent and genius, and at such a young age, I'm a little shocked!"

Leonardo da Vinci on the side was talking, his body trembling with excitement.

But Dr. Roman did not notice her excitement, or more precisely,

After listening to this explanation, he finally understood why the woman in front of him was now considered the most powerful magician in human history by the former second-rank magician.

Just the ability to plan and win battles from afar is enough to show his talent.

And she is only fourteen years old now!

"What a devastating age!" Dr. Roman praised.

Of course, Sajo Aika would never know what these two people were whispering behind her back.

But if she really heard it, she would probably complain and say she was crazy.

"By the way, there's one last thing. Can you count on me helping you this time?" Kenneth suddenly asked.

"...? Yes. Any other questions?" Sajo Aika felt something was wrong.

"Magicians are a group of people who can betray each other for personal gain. If Barthelmero attacked me, the new monarch would definitely know about it."

As Kenneth spoke, he looked up at Sajo Aika and said, "Come to think of it, you definitely know about this kind of thing... So, you wanted to kill me from the beginning, right?"

As soon as this word comes out,

The atmosphere that should have been happy at the scene suddenly became quiet.

Mashu, Gudako, and Dr. Roman all turned their attention to Sajo Aika.

Even the lancer who was guarding beside him slowly tightened his grip on the spear.

"...Yes, just as you expected."

To everyone's surprise, Sajo Aika actually nodded in agreement.

"Why would Sha Tiao admit it?" Dr. Roman looked at Da Vinci.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either." Da Vinci was also puzzled.

Even Gudako and Mashu communicate with each other through telepathy.

"Is this... Miss Sajo's trick?" Mashu asked.

"That should be the case..." said Gudako.

"Then why did Ms. Sajo admit it?"

"Maybe Miss Sajo has her own ideas..." Gudako actually didn't know what Aika Sajo was thinking, she just comforted herself this way.

Everyone thought that Kenneth, who had a bad temper, would get angry after hearing this.

But Kenneth had an almost sad smile on his face:

"Really? That's the only thing I should thank you for."

"...Your words make me feel very anxious."

Aika Sajo looked away. "My mentor, the great El-Melloi, your talent is a treasure that all magicians are proud of. As we part, I hope you take care of yourself!"

Finally, after saying goodbye to Mr. Kenneth and re-signing a contract with Lancer,

Dr. Roman suddenly took the initiative to contact Sajo Aika.

"Ms. Sajo..."

"what happened?"

"It may sound a bit pretentious, but the lies you told Lord El-Melloi... were lies from beginning to end. You should be well aware of this, right?"

Dr. Roman inquired.

Sajo Aika nodded: "I know it very well, but so what?"

"Since it's a lie, why do you have to throw a stigma on yourself? Although for us, this is just an experience. But for you, living in this era, you have to bear all the consequences of this choice."

"I see."

Seeing that Sajo Aika accepted the matter calmly, Dr. Roman was a little angry: "You have offended all three monarchs of the Clock Tower at once. It's not an exaggeration to say that you have offended half of the Clock Tower."

"I understand what you said. Even if I could turn back time, I would do the same thing."

Sajo Aika said, "Actually, the reason isn't that important. I just thought that being misunderstood by him this time could be considered atonement. After all, I was plotting against the teacher from the beginning to the end."

"Actually... I wasn't that confident. Back in Einzbern Castle, a clear fear enveloped me constantly. I was terrified that a single mistake would cost my teacher's life."

"I didn't actually do this to get the teacher's forgiveness. Ultimately, I just wanted to forgive myself. So, I'll just treat this misunderstanding as a favor to the teacher."

"Even if he holds a grudge against me for this, this is a choice I made with all my heart, so I will definitely not regret it!"
