I'm really not a top magician

Just because you are lucky enough to draw the strongest trump card, can you get the Holy Grail?

What could I prove with myself like this? Could I prove that I could achieve glory in the shadow of the rider?

This kind of thing will only continue to be ridiculed in the end.

Suppose Rider is really defeated by Aika Sajo, what can an incompetent master like me do at that time?

Waver felt deeply insignificant.

If this kind of battle continues until the end, I will definitely not change at all.

Being around an overly powerful Heroic Spirit only makes one more vulnerable, insignificant, and humiliated.

This made Waver feel even more ashamed than the humiliation he suffered in the Clock Tower.

And there is Shatiao Aige standing next to the rider,

He was clearly Rider's master, so why was Sajo Aika able to get along with Rider better than he did? He didn't know why, but seeing the two of them chatting so enthusiastically, like close friends, Waver felt a pang of pain in his heart. They were clearly just chatting like friends, but Waver felt betrayed.

Although he is the master, Aika Sajo is more like a master than he is.

Whether it is the battle against the sea demons formulated by Caster, or the other servants united by Archer to defeat him.

He even has a magical talent that is as great as that of a top-ranked master.

Sajo Aika should be the most powerful Master in this Holy Grail War.

Such a huge gap in strength made Weber feel a little breathless.

"Boy, why haven't you spoken for so long?" A voice came from above Weber's head.

Looking up, Rider was still looking down at him with his usual incredibly innocent smile.

"I've had enough of this upward gaze."

"I don't want to experience this kind of being looked down upon again."

"I've had enough of you!"

Perhaps influenced by his previous depressed mood, Waver almost blurted out these words, but in the end, remembering that Sajo Aika was still beside him, he used his remaining self-control to barely control his outburst of emotions, and instead said something more tactful:

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired of you."

Weber snorted coldly, turning his gaze away from Rider's smirking expression and looking towards the gradually darkening sky. This sky seemed to mirror his current state of mind.

"So, you're still bored, right? So I said we should play this game together."

Rider grinned.

"not like this!"

It was the same irrelevant answer as usual, which finally pushed Weber's patience to its limit!

"Having a Servant as powerful as you, who is so naturally capable of obtaining the Holy Grail, is nothing for me to be proud of! Signing a contract with a Servant like Assassin would be a far better way to demonstrate my worth!"

Hearing Waver's words, Rider snorted and scratched his head:

"If you were really that stupid, you would probably have died several times by now."

Rider said bluntly.

Only then did Aika Sajo realize that Weber seemed a little angry. Although Rider's words were too much of a failure, they were also very correct.

If Waver's servant was not a rider, but an assassin who obeyed his orders more, then things would be exactly as Waver thought. The assassin would not disobey his orders, and through the weak assassin, Waver Velvet's talents could be demonstrated to everyone.

But based on Aika Sajo's budget, the talent displayed in this way is probably nothing more than stupid.

Although Sajo Aika didn't particularly like comparing herself to others, because no matter the outcome, one side would always be hurt, if she continued with this assumption, Waver's journey in the Holy Grail War would definitely be even more tragic than Kenneth's.

The reason was very simple, because Weber, like Teacher Kenneth, was not a warrior, but a scholar who studied magic. So in a battlefield filled with warriors, assassins, and conspirators, these two were definitely the easiest enemies to deal with.

If it was Waver who formulated the strategy, he would definitely engage in a fight with Sajo Aika from the very beginning of the meeting. Even if it wasn't Sajo Aika, he would definitely actively participate in the Holy Grail War. This would be very disadvantageous for Waver, who had not yet gathered enough intelligence.

It was also thanks to Rider's attitude of waiting and watching from the beginning, and directly ignoring Weber's strategy, that Weber and Rider were able to break away from Aika Sajo's previous control of the Holy Grail War, and then turn the tables at the King's Banquet.

This is also the reason why Aika Satiao attaches so much importance to rider.

Rider is definitely much more powerful than he looks.

P.S. I wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, I decided to finish writing about Weber first. After all, it is also related to Weber's character.

Chapter 257 Monarch El-Melloi II

However, the young and hot-headed Webber didn't understand this at all. After hearing Rider's retro words, his temper also came up, and he stared at Rider and shouted:

"That's enough! I have no complaints about dying in my own battle! If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't be participating in the Holy Grail War!"

"And what should I say? Since when did you become the protagonist? You always act without my permission, and where do you put me? Why did I come all the way to Japan?"

Webber shouted.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited..."

In contrast to Waver's tense and excited mood, Rider still smiled nonchalantly.

This attitude made Weber feel like he was punching cotton, unable to exert any strength at all.

"If the wish you wish to fulfill after obtaining the Holy Grail can inspire my lofty ambitions, then I, the King of Conquerors, will obey your orders from now on. How about that? Is your wish to grow a little taller?"

"No! Alas!" Weber roared.

Seeing that Waver was getting more and more excited, Iskandar put his hand on his head and interrupted him.

"Boy, don't be so anxious, right? In any case, this Holy Grail War can't be regarded as the pinnacle of your life for you, right?"

"what!"

Isn't this a once-in-a-lifetime miracle? Waver, about to protest, suddenly understood what Iskandar meant.

For this King of Conquerors, the Holy Grail is merely a means for him to reappear in this world. His real goal is to continue conquering the entire vast world after the Holy Grail War.

"If you really want to pursue a life full of glory and dreams, then fight for yourself. If you want to find a battlefield that suits you, it's not too late to wait until then."

Rider smirked.

In the face of a miracle that is said to be able to fulfill all wishes, this guy's only wish is to obtain a human body.

If anyone else said this, Weber would never believe it.

The Heroic Spirits were drawn to participate in the Holy Grail War by this miraculous power.

It is no exaggeration to say that this power can be used to rule the world.

But it was precisely because the other party was Iskandar that Waver reluctantly accepted such a wish.

However, even with a miracle like the Holy Grail before him, Rider believes that he is worth more, so there is nothing wrong with this wish.

That's why Weber was curious.

What kind of person is this guy who is so arrogant and so confident in his own strength?

It was with such questions in mind that Weber deliberately consulted historical materials.

However, the more he learned about the great deeds of this man listed in history books, the more deeply he felt that this man possessed a powerful and incurable ability that was completely unmatched by mortals. He could even make such a powerful and elite army worship him so much, believe in him like a god, and even give up their lives for him.

Looking back at history, Weber had to admit that those who laughed at the King of Conquerors' aspirations were the boring ones, the foolish ones who spent their days doing nothing but carrying around a stinky skin.

Yes,

How can I, who am now like this, be worthy of such a powerful heroic spirit?

Even if I had a victory with a Heroic Spirit like this, it wouldn't be enough to prove my own talent, right?

After swallowing his anger in silence, Waver asked in a low voice:

"Actually...I'm not the only one dissatisfied with this contract, am I?"

"Ok?"

Rider didn't understand what Waver meant.

"You must be dissatisfied, right? Why would someone as incompetent as me be your Master?"

Weber said, "If Sajo Aika were your partner, you would definitely win more easily!"

Like a bullet, Waver angrily blurted out the words that had long been suppressed in his heart.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

"So....can I ask a question?"

Aika Satiao felt that she should say something.

"So...it's clearly a problem between you two, why are you suddenly dragging me into it..."

Although she had known that this verbal fight would definitely lead to her, she did not expect Waver to say such words.

"Sha Tiao, answer me!"

Weber's eyes were staring at her fiercely, as if he wanted her to answer the question she had just asked.

"That's true..."

Sajo Aika answered seriously,

"If there had been a rider, I would have won the Holy Grail War yesterday."

In reality, C-Dai was the ideal servant for Aika Satiao. If it were a rider, Aika Satiao could certainly devise some head-on tactics, but her chances of success were definitely not as high as C-Dai's. However, considering Weber's current mood, he decided to go along with his wishes.

After all, this is how children are coaxed.

Sajo Aika's answer immediately ignited Waver's already angry mood.

Just when Weber was about to explode, Aika Sajo suddenly walked forward and wanted to touch Weber's head. Weber wanted to slap her away with his hand, but Aika Sajo still stood on tiptoe and touched Weber's head.

From a rider's perspective, although Webber is quite short, the 14-year-old Aika Sajo has a bit of a lolita feel.

"Weber, do you remember what I told you last time? The highest compliment you could give a magician?"

In response to Sajo Aika's sudden question, Waver replied:

"You said it was [powerful]. But what's the point of you saying that now? To me, if we don't win this Holy Grail War, it will be meaningless."

"I understand your anxiety, and I also understand the responsibilities and neglect you face on a daily basis, Weber."

Sha Tiao Aige said,

"However, if the value of magic is simply due to rank and research, then I think that's something only people who don't understand power would say. So, don't pay attention to them."

Weber snorted coldly, "When did you learn to make sarcastic remarks? Don't forget, you are also a champion!"

Sajo Aika understood Waver's frustration, but didn't take it too seriously. Instead, she continued:

"...There are two reasons why you should ignore it."

"First, there's the notion that those with low mage rank are useless. Then what about a mage academy like Clock Tower? Everyone has varying talents, that's natural, and under that premise, learning magecraft is fair and just. Those who use this to claim unfairness completely fail to understand the meaning of learning power."

"Secondly, they misunderstood one thing. Knowing more magic isn't always better, nor is being more famous for your research always better. I'm the best in the Clock Tower, but is that enough? No, the essence of power lies beyond that. Even if I become the world's greatest magician and win the Holy Grail War, if I feel I've lost, then I've lost."

"Weber, in this age of constantly emerging geniuses, where talents, achievements, and rankings are constantly changing, how do we define first place? How do we define winning? Weber, we endure all the pain of trials and tribulations to continue learning magic because we have greater ideals and goals than this, don't we?"

"Because of this, I can lose to anyone, but I can never lose to myself."

Weber was completely impressed by Aika Sajo's ideas. What kind of strong heart could have cultivated Aika Sajo?

Perhaps it is because of her thorough understanding of this principle that Aika Sajo is the youngest crown magician.

In front of such a powerful Aika Sajo, all the worries and distress in his heart are just trivial matters not worth mentioning.

Why on earth should I blame myself for such a trivial matter?

However, Waver still managed to retort:

"Anyway, what you're saying is—we're moving forward with greater ideals. I'm sorry, but I don't have such lofty aspirations as you. I came here simply to prove my abilities. Ultimately, even if I have lofty aspirations, my abilities are limited. You've probably had enough of me a long time ago, haven't you? Having someone as weak as me is, after all, a disgrace to you!"

"Hey! Why do you think that? Waver!"

Sajo Aika sighed.

"Yeah, kid, you can't think like that."

Rider, standing beside him, frowned, smiled wryly, and patted Waver on the back.

"Boy, this feeling of inferiority on your part is a sign that you're about to develop the spirit of a king."

"No matter how I explain it to you, in the end you'll always feel insignificant. But even knowing this, you still insist on striving for higher goals. Ah, from my experience, the seeds of dominance have begun to sprout in your heart."
