Chapter 177 Punching the Master

Things like punching a master.

I have to say, as a disciple, I still feel something, especially when the master is Kenneth, the guy whose face says "I'm going to step on you" all over his face.

But... to be honest, although Kenshin Matou has an excellent talent for magic, he is not short of magic power and opportunities to learn magic - the memories of the clock tower plus the legacy of the old beast.

But what he is best at is still the magic inherited from Teacher Orange, but it is a modified version.

What a puppeteer does is not a handicraft made on an assembly line, but an art that should be worshipped.

This sentence was certainly not said by Teacher Orange, but was what Kenshin Matou said to himself when he was ill. However, it also reflects his attitude towards his work.

The requirements are very high, very, very high, so high that even Teacher Orange is shocked.

Therefore, Kenshin Matou would not and would not bother to make ordinary puppets, the kind of defective products, especially after he absorbed the essence of the Einzbern family's magic and connected puppet magic with android magic.

It is no exaggeration to say that in some respects, Kenshin Matou has surpassed his teacher, Aozaki Touko, the top magician and puppet master.

'pity……'

"It takes more than three days to create a true work of art. I want to see what Kenneth looks like when he finds out that the doll has the function of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid."

"But it doesn't matter. Kenneth is not a big deal. If you miss it, you miss it. When you go to the clock tower, just don't miss Mr. Orange's expression."

Thinking in his heart, Jianchen Matou looked at Kenneth who had signed his name, thus establishing the contract, and Diarmuid and Sora who were standing beside him as if they were facing a great enemy, and said:

"Well... I don't mean to disrespect you, but if possible, you should do it together with Ms. Sora. Otherwise, if you regret it later, even I will be a little distressed."

"Do not make jokes!"

Sora's delicate face flushed with anger, and his eyes were filled with humiliation: "It's just that, it's just that, it's just that the Heroic Spirit we summoned this time is not good enough, don't be so arrogant, you are just a small fry..."

"Sora!"

Kenneth, who had always obeyed his fiancée, interrupted her speech. He glanced at Diarmuid, who looked unhappy, and said to Matou Kenshin without any response:

"Let's begin, Master of the Matou family. As a Master and as a magician, I will let you see the strengths of the El-Melloi family."

Standing up from his seat and straightening his clothes which were not wrinkled to begin with, Kenneth looked down at the child in front of him, neither looking down on him nor intending to hold back.

With his servants at a disadvantage and under restrictions, the only thing Kenneth wants to do now is to win at all costs while maintaining his magician's elegance.

"Well, to show your hospitality, Mr. Kenneth, please make the first move."

He took the sword from his waist and gave Miss Altria a look, then Swordsman Matou moved away from Kenneth. Sora and Diarmuid also moved away from the two people who were about to compete.

The entire floor has become Kenneth's temporary magic workshop, but as a magician from a big city, he is facing a magician of the age of a child, and this battle must be watched by others.

Kenneth still has to save some face.

The traps and familiars on the floor were not used. This did not mean that Kenneth was holding back, because he had already unfolded his magic suit from the beginning.

Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid!

Kenneth picked up a large ceramic bottle from under the table next to him, then uttered a spell. The ceramic jar cracked and something in the form of mercury emerged from it.

It was silver-white in color and chubby in appearance, very cute, but this cute guy turned into a sharp blade in the blink of an eye and stabbed quickly towards Kenshin Matou's vital point.

The speed is very fast, but the naked eye can react to it, so it doesn’t matter even if the naked eye can’t react.

bass!
The sharp blade was unsheathed, and the three-foot red sky emitted a mysterious yellow light.

Looking at the oncoming sharp blade, Jianchen Jiantong not only had no intention of dodging, but instead took the initiative to face it. From the beginning, he did not intend to continue this battle for too long.

The abnormal behavior made the mature magician Kenneth frown, but out of trust in his magic gift, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, he did not think too much about it.

If the opponent really has any unconventional means, the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid with automatic defense function will return to his side as soon as possible to block the attack for him.

With this idea in mind, Kenneth was defeated completely.

The silver-white sharp blade could cut a hard diamond in half, but when it touched Kenshin Matou, it was like a drop of water falling into the ocean, without creating a ripple.

The body passed through the attack of the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, but because the Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid could not sense the body's own breath at all, its automatic defense function was not triggered.

But it doesn't matter even if it is triggered, because the sword in Kenshin Matou's hand is the Scarlet Scabbard Sword, a magic sword that can cut off Diarmuid's tear mole and has the effect of destroying demons.

The battle didn't even take a minute from start to finish.

Kenneth stared at the blade at his neck, his eyes full of shock and humiliation.

"how……"

"How could this happen! Kenneth you..."

"..."

Kenshin Matou had long anticipated that this woman Sora would do something bad and cause him unnecessary trouble, so he acted decisively. Kenneth was already in shock and humiliation, and by the time he reacted, the sword in Kenshin Matou's hand had already moved from his neck to the neck of his fiancée.

"stop!"

Looking at his fiancée who looked terrified, Kenneth showed a panic that he did not even show when his own life was in danger.

"Restrictions, restrictions, restrictions have rules, you can't do this, you can't do this, Matou family magician..."

Kenneth's body was shaking uncontrollably and he was in a panic. He no longer had the elegance of a magician. The reason for all this was just because his fiancée Sora was looking at him pitifully.

Miss Altria and Diarmuid were in the room, and they watched the entire battle between Swordsman Matou and Kayneth. Diarmuid, who had fought with Swordsman Matou before, was not at all surprised at the outcome of this battle.

He thought he would be indifferent, or at least react calmly.

But looking at his flustered Master, and seeing his humble appearance because of his fiancée, the demon-breaking red rose was still summoned out.

However, he did not take action.

It wasn't that his loyalty had changed, nor was it because of the sword in Miss Altria's hand, but because of the words spoken by Kenshin Matou.

"Of course, I kept my promise. I said I would come to visit you today, and now I am here. Although it is a little late, I have not violated the contract after all."

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to your fiancée Ms. Sora. I just want her to realize that the reason I won this battle is not because her fiancé is incompetent, but because I am too strong, that's all."

"If Ms. Sora has any objections," Kenshin Matou put the Scarlet Sky Sword in his hand down from Sora's neck, "she can personally have an absolutely fair and just magician duel with me." Kenshin Matou naturally had his own considerations for doing this.

On the surface, it seemed that he was impatient with Sora, and in fact, he was indeed very impatient with Sora.

But this is only on the surface; there are deeper reasons behind it.

As I said, although Jianchen Jianchen is sometimes a little too presumptuous, he still has the beautiful virtue of being grateful.

Although he couldn't repay a drop of kindness with a spring of gratitude, he still took action within his ability.

The purpose of doing this now is not to humiliate Kenneth. After all, Kenneth really has nothing to say to him in the simulator.

He did this just to make Sora face reality, know the reason why Kenneth would lose, and nip any possible conflicts between the engaged couple in the bud.

If Sora still blames her fiancé for being incompetent because of this incident...

Jianchen Matou could only advise Kenneth to change his fiancée.

The disciple did what he was supposed to do, and Sora seemed to be frightened and stood there without saying a word.

Jianchen Jiantou put the Chixiao sword back into the scabbard, took out the most practical dagger among the legacy left by the old bug, which he had prepared long ago, and handed it to Kenneth.

"Bleed a little and cut off the connection between you and your Servant. Your Holy Grail War is over, Mr. Kenneth."

"..."

Kenneth, who participated in the Holy Grail War and only thought about a victorious future and never thought about failure, did not expect that he would fail so suddenly or so quickly.

He looked very bad. Kenneth, who had had a smooth life since birth, tasted the humiliation of failure for the first time, in front of his beloved fiancée.

However, it was precisely because of the presence of his fiancée Sora that Kenneth was able to make a quick decision.

After taking a look at the servant who was holding the treasure, lowering his head and saying nothing, and then looking at his fiancée who seemed to be frightened, Kenneth took the dagger handed to him by Matou Kenshin.

Without any hesitation, he stabbed himself decisively.

Because of some bleeding, Kenneth's face turned pale. His skin was already very white, so the paleness was even more obvious.

After beating up his master, Jian Tong Jianchen thought he would be happy, but when he saw the scene before him, he felt no joy at all.

But he doesn't regret it.

Compared to being toyed with by Emiya Kiritsugu and eventually dying tragically with his fiancée, this current ending is really the best one for Kenneth.

As time went by, Kenneth's connection with Diarmuid was completely severed.

Without saying anything, because that might irritate Kenneth, Jianchen Matou walked up to Diarmuid who lowered his head and whispered:
"Do you remember the agreement between us, Diarmuid?"

"remember."

Looking up, Diarmuid's stern face showed a hint of distress.

After being freed from the curse of the tear mole, Diarmuid has been in a good mood these days, especially after Sora's attitude towards him became more and more normal.

But the current situation still made him feel complicated.

"Then are you willing to give me a chance?"

Spreading his hands, Jianchen Matou was looking forward to Diarmuid's answer. If he agreed, everyone would be happy. If he disagreed, Jianchen Matou would find a way to make the other party agree.

"Diarmuid is willing to offer you victory."

After completing the knight's etiquette, the word "master" was never uttered. After all, his master, Kenneth, was right next to him, and Diarmuid was still filled with guilt.

Jianchen Matou didn't care about this at all.

He stretched out his hand, pulled Diarmuid up from his kneeling position, and said seriously:

"Here, there is no rule of kneeling. From now on, you are my servant, my knight, and even my partner. You can have many identities with me, but the only one that is not a servant is not one of them."

"Help me to win the war, Diarmuid, hero of Ireland."

After speaking from the bottom of his heart, Kenshin Matou shook his head and did not allow Diarmuid to respond.

He walked to Kenneth, stood on tiptoe and wanted to pat his shoulder, but when he found that he still couldn't reach him, he didn't feel embarrassed and patted Kenneth's thigh instead.

"Don't be depressed, Mr. Kenneth. You will find out in the future that it is normal for me to lose to me, even when I was eight years old."

"Go back to the Clock Tower and live a good life. If your fiancée really has a big problem with you, I would like to give you a piece of advice: there are many better fish in the sea..."

"However, feelings are always a matter of one person willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten, so I won't say much. Finally, as the winner of the battle with you, I promise you that I will win this war."

"If you are interested, it would be interesting to live in Fuyuki City for a while and see how I win."

After talking to Kenneth for a few words, Jianchen Matou, who had enjoyed the treatment of Kenneth's disciple in the simulator, did not form a master-disciple relationship with Kenneth this time.

But there is nothing to regret.

He gave a look to Miss Altria, and then another look to Diarmuid, before taking the bloody dagger from Kenneth's hand and wiping the blood on his trouser leg.

Kenshin Matou took Miss Altria and Diarmuid and left Kenneth's room, leaving Kenneth with his fiancée.

What would happen to them afterwards, or what kind of conversation they would have, was not something that Jianchen Jianchen cared about.

So far, of the seven Servants of the Holy Grail War, Kenshin Matou has mastered three, namely Saber, Lancer, and Caster.

The advantage can no longer be described as great.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the overly low-key car, Kenshin Matou glanced at the calm-faced Diarmuid through the rearview mirror, then turned his gaze to the window.

The sun sets in the west, and the warm red light covers the earth.

We set off at around four or five in the afternoon, and it is not completely dark yet.

Kenneth——

Get it done.
