Chapter 1624: Girl, you've successfully activated the cheats
After finishing with Emiya, Su Xiao once again took Rin to a private room.
Removing a Command Spell or exchanging them was always forbidden. The Holy Church would oppose such a move, as would the Mage Association, however, the fifth Holy Grail War was a special case because these two major factions were not interested in this battle.
A few minutes later, a somewhat exhausted Rin left the room. Looking at the two seals on her hand, she felt the presence of a powerful Heroic Soul.
Taking a deep breath, she realized that nothing in this world was free.
However, Su Xiao didn't care about her thoughts.
The only daughter of the Tohsaka family, one of the three strongest families of magicians, was already considered one of the best Masters in this Holy Grail war, and now she was also assisted by three Heroic Souls at once.
When she touched the seals, she felt that they didn't belong to her.
— See you later, " Su Xiao said and left Emiya's house.
Rin gave Archer a look that almost said, " Take care of yourself. I couldn't help it either».
Soon only Emiya and Archer were left in the house.
Archer sat cross-legged at the low wooden table and poured himself a cup of tea.
— What are we going to do next? Emiya asked, a little confused, things were moving too fast, and due to the lack of subtitles, his thoughts could barely keep up with the flow of events.
— I'll have tea, and you'll get ready for school.
— What about the Holy Grail War?
— Objectively speaking, with your power reserve, I will most likely become the weakest Heroic Soul in this war.
— Ahem~...
----
Mansion, Fuyuki City.
— Teacher, can I really do this? A woman's voice came out of the darkness.
Only her long purple hair was dimly visible in the moonlight.
— As my disciple, you won't have any problems. With my help, you will be the one to win this war for the Holy Grail, Sakura, " a deep female voice said.
A brave looking woman was sitting in the corner of the room.
----
At the same time, Tohsaka Rin was walking down the street in the south of Fuyuki with her arms crossed, and she was not very confident.
— Saber, you won't feel that I'm useless and want to find another Master, right?
Su Xiao's attitude towards the entire war made her feel very insecure, and such a sudden exchange of Masters plus fake seals made her uneasy.
— Put aside your paranoia, " Su Xiao replied as he scanned the latest news for traces of the intruder. "I heard you mention the Fourth Holy Grail War. Who won that time? Can the Holy Grail really fulfill any wish??
— No one won.
— The Einzbern family didn't win? How did you know about this?
— Kotomine's father informed me about this, and since this time he became the guardian of the Holy Grail, his words can be trusted.
Su Xiao paused for a moment.
— So he didn't tell you that he was the one who killed his father for the one thing that would help him eliminate the Masters?
— What?
Rin immediately stepped forward and stopped in front of Su Xiao.
— Did he kill his father for some kind of weapon? Rin asked and looked at Su Xiao in surprise, quickly starting to realize something.
— Get out of the way, " Su Xiao replied, placing his hand on the top of her head and turning her around before pushing her forward.
— What do you know?" Tell me...
— We'll talk on the road.
Although he could see that she wouldn't fully believe his words, at least she could put the puzzle together.
— Your father, Tohsaka Tokiomi, was one of the first Masters. He was ranked in the top four in overall strength and ranked first in Heroic Soul strength. Back then, his Archer was probably the strongest Heroic Soul of the time, provided of course that he didn't underestimate his enemy.
— Of course, " Rin said, and puffed out her chest with pride, her face relaxing.
— However, your father had a good student, Kotomine Kirei. Kirei is a descendant of Kotomine Rizei, as well as one of the Masters who participated in the Holy Grail War. Unfortunately, he was unlucky enough to summon one of the weakest Heroic Souls in that war. Originally, your father and Kirei didn't have a master-disciple relationship, and Kirei's father, Rizei, was the curator of the previous Holy Grail War and an agent of the Holy Church. Rizei also aspired to the Holy Grail, so he allowed his offspring to establish a master-disciple relationship with your father. Such a duet at that moment was truly terrifying.
Having nothing better to do, Su Xiao decided to tell Rin the story of the parricide.
— How do you know all this? Rin asked and started walking side by side with Su Xiao.
— Because I was a Berserker in the last war.
— And? You? A berserker? Rin was confused because Su Xiao didn't look like a Berserker at all.
— That's not the point. After your father agreed to cooperate with Kirei, everything went according to plan until Kirei convinced your father's Heroic Soul, Gilgamesh. Everyone knows what happened next. Your father once gave Kirei a dagger, and Kirei later used the same dagger to kill your father. As for where that dagger is now, Kirei seems to have given it to someone else.
Rin froze, because Kirei had given her one dagger years ago, and if she understood correctly...
— This dagger ... what does it look like? Rin asked, lowering her head and her breathing became a little faster.
— A broad blade with what looked like a ruby embedded in the hilt.
Although Su Xiao had never actually seen this dagger, he had heard of it. As for him telling Rin all this, it wasn't a big deal, after all, he was much stronger than Rin.
— Kirei killed my father?
Rin was shocked and couldn't believe what Su Xiao had just told her.
— Do you want revenge? Forget it. You're no match for him, and don't expect me to help you.
— You're... disgusting!
Rin was speechless. Su Xiao told her about who had killed her father, but he wasn't going to help her get revenge.
But even though she was filled with anger, she wasn't blinded by hatred. After all, she was a mage, and her father had died during the Holy Grail War.
— You said you would help me become stronger. How and when? And I don't want to be a monster.
— Just use the energy in these seals.
— Are you telling me to attack with these seals?!
Rin was dumbfounded and obviously didn't quite understand what was being said at all.
