The Holy Grail Battles Chapter 1

The sea breeze makes people feel relaxed, and the cries of black-tailed gulls relieve the loneliness of anglers. The atmosphere, which should have been quiet and peaceful, is broken by the sudden appearance of mechanical synthesized sounds.

"Main quest has been triggered: Join the Holy Grail War."

"Hmm? Have we finally triggered the main line?" the fishing man muttered to himself with interest.

This man is our protagonist Evan. Although he has a similar name to a certain Pirate King, there is really no connection between them. He is just an "ordinary" time traveler who traveled through time with a system.

After a period of research, Evan also figured out the functions of his system. First, he could randomly select a world to travel through. Second, encountering certain specific characters in this world would trigger rewards.

For example, in Fuyuki City, where Evan currently belongs, Evan has already met two well-known characters, Henry Matou and Tōsaka Victor Toosaka. After having an in-depth and friendly exchange with them, they each contributed two cards to themselves.

Transformation Card: Basic Magic Circuit and Item Card: Marking Bug.

Of course, the transformation card was accepted without hesitation, while Evan threw the imprinting worm to the ground and kicked it again, turning it into a pool of meat paste.

The veins on the scalp of a certain bald old man who witnessed this scene bulged a little, but after looking at his own familiars who had suffered heavy casualties and Evan's sandbag-sized fist, the old man swallowed his anger.

Back to the topic, after obtaining the basic magic circuit, Evan also studied it carefully, but the magic circuit inherited from Shichen did not seem to be very powerful.

Evan looked at the backs of his hands. They were both white and smooth, without any other marks.

"Hmm... no Command Seals."

Without the Command Seals, it is impossible to summon Heroic Spirits. As a person who has not received the favor of the Holy Grail, he is not qualified to enter the Holy Grail War.

However, there is always a way out. An unknown priest said that even if you are not qualified, you have to create the qualifications.

How to create it? Of course, you have to borrow a qualification.

The Holy Grail War, after all, is nothing more than a ceremony held by the Three Great Families in order to reach the Origin, so naturally the three places for the Three Great Families are pre-determined.

The remaining four qualify.

One each for Director Ken and Weber who came out of the Clock Tower.

Tokitoki has a good disciple named Philip Kotomine.

The murderer, Nathan got the last one.

In this case, it is obvious who is qualified to borrow money from.

Evan clenched his right hand, and a ball of golden light flickered in the palm of his hand. This was the ability he had extracted in the previous world, the power of holy light.

As a companion of the Holy Light, expelling evil is exactly what I should do.

A hint of determination flashed in Evan's crystal green eyes. It was obvious that he already knew what he should do.

...

In the evening, at Matou's residence.

Evan stood at the door of the Matou family wearing a plastic mask.

As a partner of justice, we must of course first eliminate evil forces like Henry Matou.

And considering that Holy Light has a double restraint on insects, it is understandable that Evan made this choice.

What? You said that Uryu Nathan is a murderer, why don't you kill him and take away his qualification?

Sorry, Evan is just an ordinary time traveler. He was not a detective or a policeman before he traveled through time. It is too difficult for Evan to find a killer with a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness in the vast Fuyuki City.

Of course, if he could meet Nathan Uesugi by chance, Evan would kill him without mercy in order to save more lives.

But unfortunately, Nathan Uesugi was very lucky. Evan had lived in Fuyuki for more than a year but had never met him.

So we can only settle for the second best. After all, the Matou house is built here and it won’t run away.

And tonight, the Matou residence was also exceptionally lively.

In the basement of the Matou family, in a place called the insect library, two figures, one tall and one short, seemed to be talking.

"Kanye, you should remember the summoning spell, right?" The shorter figure was a gloomy old man who was instructing the taller man.

"Hmm." The man called Lucas Matou had gray hair and his skin had lost all its color, turning into a ghostly earthy gray. His left eye seemed to have lost its sight, and his right eye was also full of chaos, as if he had lost the ability to think.

"Lucas Matou, summon the Heroic Spirits and win the Fourth Holy Grail War, then you can save Sakura." Henry Matou's voice was like bubbles rising in a sewer, and it naturally carried a nauseating feeling.

"Sakura..." A ray of divine light seemed to appear in Lucas Matou's confused right eye. It was obvious that the name Sakura occupied a large part of his heart.

"Go, Lucas Matou. Remember, add two berserk spells to the summoning spell to give the summoned Servant the berserk attribute, thereby enhancing his basic abilities." Henry Matou was still instructing him, but he did not forget to add two bewitching words at the end, "All this is for Sakura."

"Sakura..." Lucas Matou seemed a little excited, but considering his current confused mental state, it was hard to say whether this was a stress response to the name.

"Go ahead!"

"boom!!"

The sound of an explosion came with smoke and dust, and the insects that served as a warning for magic screamed madly. Lucas Matou also sat on the ground because of the explosion, unable to stand steadily.

The solid defense constructed by magic on the ceiling seemed to be a joke. It gave up resistance after just a few short seconds. A big hole was blasted in the ceiling, and smoke and dust fell from above.

"Hello, hello, is anyone there?" A slightly frivolous voice came from the smoke and dust.

Henry Matou's heart suddenly tightened. This voice... was that guy!

A figure walked out from the smoke and dust, with bright golden hair and wearing a very common black suit. He had an upright figure and extraordinary bearing. As long as you see him, you can think of the word "shining".

It would be even better if he could take off the ridiculous pink Peppa Pig mask on his face.

The man wearing the mask was naturally our hero Evan. He looked at the nominal father and son in front of him, then at the empty magic circle, and a hint of joy appeared on his face. "Great, I'm not late yet."

"Evan, you guy, what are you doing here, wearing that ridiculous mask." Henry Matou clenched the cane in his hand, his eyes full of solemnity, and if Lucas Matou looked closely, he could even detect a hint of fear.

"Hey, you recognized me even though I was wearing a mask? It turns out that my excellence cannot be concealed by the mask." Evan took off the mask on his face with a little surprise, revealing his handsome face.

"Isn't the Holy Grail War about to begin? As a magician born and raised in Fuyuki City, I should participate in such a large-scale event, right?"

Henry Matou did not reply, but silently and secretly mobilized more insects to flock to the basement.

Although Evan had noticed Henry Matou's little action, he still spoke nonchalantly about the purpose of his trip.

"Although I am a very good magician, the Holy Grail may be jealous of my excellence, so it did not allow me to participate in the Holy Grail War."

"A**h0le, what does that have to do with me?" Henry Matou was so angry that he wanted to break his cane and stuff it into the mouth of the boy in front of him. "If you don't get out of my magic workshop, I'm going to teach you a lesson."

"I don't, but you do." Evan still had a bright smile on his face, and even dug his ears without caring. "By the way, I think you said this a year ago."
