"Oops! Player Hercules fell into an ice pit!"

"His tall body was an advantage when he was running, allowing him to lead the field and become the front runner, but this advantage has now become a disadvantage."

"He's too heavy. The ice can't bear the force of his jump!"

"Hercules player falls into an ice pit!"

"The Iskandar Weber duo has surpassed Hercules and become the new number one. The players behind them are about to catch up."

"What will the Hercules-Illya team do?"

"Oh my god!"

"Without a moment's pause, Hercules, who had fallen into the pit, stood up again!"

"He jumped out of the ice pit, he started running, he was getting closer and closer to Iskander Weber!"

"Hercules overtook the opponent. After he regained his strength, he told all the competitors and the audience who should be at the front!"

"If you must ask about the meaning of the game, the performance of the Hercules players now is the meaning of the game, it is the spirit of the athletes, and it is exactly the spirit we expect and yearn for."

“Whether he wins or loses, the moment he falls and stands up again, he is a true hero.”

"Hercules, Hercules!"

"Let us hail his name, Hercules, Hercules!"

The commentator, Fujimura Taiga, was explaining to the audience in Fuyuki City and even the whole of Japan. Commentators from all over the world were also praising the hymn called Hercules.

Especially the people of Hercules' native land.

How could they not be proud and excited when they saw their country's heroes displaying such spirit in an arena watched by people all over the world?

Fortunately, Kenshin Matou is not short of money.

Otherwise, the income from today's game would probably be higher than the annual fiscal revenue of most countries in the world.

If you ask which competition is the most shocking, it must be the competition related to national honor.

At this moment in the competition, many players represent a country. Even if those players do not take any subjective actions, in the hearts of the audience, they are heroes of their own country.

The only exception is Jianchen Matou.

He was completely misunderstood by his own compatriots.

He is a genuine old family member, and Uncle Liu has certified and recognized this.

pity……

He was not given the opportunity to explain it to the audience.

On the playing field.

Kenshin Matou and Miss Altria were running side by side.

Normally speaking, even with the nourishment of the Scarlet Sky Sword for five or six years, Jianchen Matou's physical fitness cannot compare to Miss Altria's. After all, the bonuses she has are ridiculously numerous.

This is also true.

Miss Altria did not use her full strength to run towards the finish line, the highest point of Mount Everest.

That's not to say her desire to win wasn't strong enough.

On the contrary, after losing the first game due to "her own" reasons, Miss Altria's determination to win the game is now very strong, so strong that it is terrifying.

But the competition designed by Iskandar does not just test personal strength.

There is also cooperation between the Master and the Servant.

This point was also designed in Mrs. Irisviel's competition.

This is the unspoken understanding among these contestants.

Although the rules of the Holy Grail War were changed by Kenshin Matou, many people do not want to cancel the cooperative relationship between the Master and the Servant.

Because this relationship is a treasure they cherish very much.

Except for Gilgamesh.

In the last Holy Grail War, Kenshin Matou's initial servant was Uncle Liu, and there is no need to explain his relationship with Uncle Liu.

If the family wanted to set up a memorial tablet, the first person that Jian Tongjianchen thought of was Uncle Liu.

This is enough to show how deep their feelings are.

After Uncle Liu, Kenshin Matou's servant was the Irish knight Diarmuid, who was pried from Kenneth.

Kenshin Matou has deep feelings for Diarmuid.

After all, Uncle Liu is more like Kenshin Matou's family member and elder than a servant.

Diarmuid is the one who satisfies all of Kenshin Matou's requirements and fantasies for a servant.

Being able to have Diarmuid as a servant is not only Diarmuid's fortune, but also Kenshin Matou's fortune.

Until now, even when he dies of old age, Swordsman Matou will never forget the bond he once had with Diarmuid.

His relationship with Diarmuid is in all aspects of life.

Sakura's archery skills are so good that she could win the championship in the national competition. When Kenshin Matou has nothing to do after eating, he will practice swordsmanship in the backyard.

All of this comes from Diarmuid’s teachings.

After Diarmuid comes Miss Altria, who is now an old married couple with Kenshin Matou.

Compared to Diarmuid, who was deliberately pried from Kayneth, the bond between Kenshin Matou and Miss Altria was purely a coincidence.

At that time, Kenshin Matou, who had failed to save Mrs. Irisviel, was disheartened and happened to see Miss Altria, who was gradually breaking down after learning the truth about the Holy Grail War.

He made an agreement with Miss Altria, which was that he would fulfill Miss Altria's wish on behalf of the Holy Grail, and the requirement was Miss Altria herself.

This promise has not been fulfilled by Jianchen Matou until now.

But Miss Altria saw things in the simulator that Kenshin Matou had never seen, and got answers that Kenshin Matou was still unclear about.

This is the bond between Kenshin Matou and his three servants.

Oh no, in addition to these three, Kenshin Matou now has another servant, that is the 'witch of betrayal' Miss Medea.

However, this witch lady has nothing to do with the Holy Grail War. She was picked up by Jianchen Matou in the forest on his own territory. This is a fate destined by God.

This is the fate between Kenshin Matou and his four servants.

The other Masters of the previous generation of Holy Grail War did not have such complicated experiences as him.

Although Waver participated in two Holy Grail Wars, he only had one Servant from beginning to end, and that was the King of Conquerors Iskandar, who was both his Servant and his King.

The situation of the Tousaka family is a little special.

Tohsaka Tokiomi's Servant in the last Holy Grail War was Gilgamesh. Although he was not chosen by the Holy Grail to be the Master this time, his good daughter, Tohsaka Rin, successfully "inherited" her father's Servant and summoned Gilgamesh.

But it is different from Jianchen Matou and Waver.

The father and daughter of the Tousaka family have no feelings for their servants.

Miss Rin has a very indifferent impression of Gilgamesh.

Not to mention Tōsaka Tokiomi, in the last Holy Grail War, Gilgamesh's exit was also caused by Tōsaka Tokiomi.

The other contestants are participating in the Holy Grail War for the first time.

Mrs. Irisviel doesn't count. Although she participated in the last Holy Grail War, she was a fake Master.

Therefore, for this competition, the rules set by Iskandar can only be understood by the older generation of masters.

Looking at the contestants running ahead of him, Kenshin Matou did not feel any pressure at all, and Miss Altria did not blame him at all.

The tacit understanding between the two no longer requires verbal words.

"What a passionate youth! It makes the blood of an old man like me a little hot."

Knowing the strength of his own strength, Kenshin Matou, after learning that he would never win by straight-line acceleration, chatted leisurely with the other players competing on the same stage.

"Yes."

Although she was running at a high intensity and in an extremely harsh environment, Mrs. Irisviel's tone was very calm, as if she was not running in a competition but just taking a leisurely walk with friends.

"Although Illya didn't say anything, it can be seen that she really wants to win this game. After all, Hercules has a big advantage in this game."

Seeing her daughter running in the front, Mrs. Irisviel was also very happy. She did not feel bad at all because she fell behind.

“You are so relaxed, Mrs. Irisviel.”

Miss Lin sighed, then began to speed up unwillingly.

Ten minutes later, the three groups of Kenshin Matou and Miss Altria, Miss Rin and Gilgamesh, and Mrs. Irisviel were in the same position again.

Oh, no, it's the Rin-sama and Gilgamesh combination. Although that's what they say, there are actually only two people in this combination. Currently, there's only Rin-sama alone, and she's with the Matou Kenshin-Altoria combination and Mrs. Irisviel.

Gilgamesh, Lady Rin's good Servant, had surpassed the three and was now running behind only Medusa, Iskandar, and Hercules.

"Your Servant doesn't really want to share the good and bad times with you, Rin." Matou Kenshin gloated, "Do you regret following Shichen's advice? Maybe it would be better to summon a Servant without using a Relic than the current situation."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Miss Lin was a little annoyed. She said stubbornly, "Since Gilgamesh is ahead, as long as I am ahead of you until we reach the finish line, I will still be the winner."

"That's right." Miss Altria, who had been listening to the conversation between the three, also spoke, but she did not choose to speak to comfort them. She said: "But you won't always be ahead of us, at least not ahead of me."

Miss Altria said this with great confidence.

In the last competition, although Kenshin Matou didn't say anything, Miss Altria always felt that she lost because of her own reasons, so in this competition, she had a strong desire to win.

In this second echelon, she is confident that she can surpass anyone around her!
If she wanted, she could even go forward and compete with Medusa, Iskandar, and Hercules from the first echelon.

It's just a pity that although Miss Altria has strong physical fitness, her height is forever fixed at the age of fifteen. Although she has always maintained a youthful appearance, which is something many women cannot refuse, but in this competition, it has become a disadvantage for Miss Altria.

Iskandar was tall and he carried Weber on his back without any pressure.

Hercules was taller than Iskandar, and he could let the little angel Illya sit on his shoulders without any pressure.

Miss Altria cannot do that.

Although she could bear the weight of Kenshin Matou, it would undoubtedly affect her speed. Besides... Kenshin Matou would not agree with this.

In front of the whole world, he, a tall and strong man, rode on his wife who was only about 1.5 meters tall. How could this be possible!
This is something he absolutely cannot accept.

"You can." Miss Rin acknowledged Miss Altria's strength, but she changed the subject and looked at her childhood sweetheart.

Kenshin Matou realized something was wrong, but Miss Rin had already started to mock him.

"But your man doesn't seem to be that good. In the final sprint, do you have the confidence to believe that your husband, who has spent the past ten years either admiring flowers and the moon or getting drunk and talking, can respond to your expectations?"

Miss Rin recounted Kenshin Matou's decadent behavior, and also recounted her own continuous efforts over the past ten years. You know, she has been preparing for this Holy Grail War.

"Martial arts, the art of fighting."

"Speed, the technique of sprinting."

"Even rock climbing, a form of exercise that trains grip strength, is something I train regularly. The final moment of this competition is to climb to the top of Mount Everest."

"Swordsman, have you ever practiced rock climbing?"

Miss Rin looked at her childhood sweetheart and asked the question even though she knew the answer.

Kenshin Matou was a little speechless. Although he had not become as depraved as Miss Rin said over the past ten years, he seemed to have not practiced much physical exercise except sword dancing.

This is really not his fault, after all, he is not a warrior. He is a noble magician.

What is the magician's nickname?
——Mage!
We are all old men, why do we still have to work so hard to train?

So for the past ten years, Kenshin Matou, who has been learning magic and making puppets, and finally created the Clockwork Enchantress Orianna, has not slacked off.

After all, the training methods and achievements of magicians and warriors are different.

Just based on the achievement of Clockwork Spirit Orianna, who in the entire magic world dares to say that Kenshin Matou is slacking off?
Anyone who dares to say this doesn't even need Kenshin Matou to take any action, Teacher Orange will twist his head off.

A work that even the top magician had no confidence in producing, but Kenshin Matou produced it, at the age of 18, and he had only been learning from Aozaki Touko for three years.

This is a talent that even genius cannot describe.

This is a fucking monster.

And now, this monster in the eyes of the top magician Teacher Orange was unable to fight back under the scolding of his childhood sweetheart Miss Rin.

But Miss Altria doesn't think so.

She said to Miss Lin: "I believe Jianchen will find a way." (End of this chapter)
