The Clock Tower Magic Association is only one of the three major magic associations, but it is far ahead in terms of popularity, scope of influence, and research on modern magic.

They are very interested in the "reaching the root" aspect of the Great Holy Grail in Fuyuki City, but they don't particularly believe in or attach importance to it. They only coordinate with the church to send out supervisors in every war, and will send a magician who is mostly a martial arts sect to participate.

.

For example, it was Kenneth who participated this time, and in the eyes of most people who are familiar with Kenneth, victory is an undoubted fact.

So not many people care.

In the clock tower, under the highest person in charge, the dean, the highest positions are the three nobles who made great contributions when building the clock tower, and the twelve monarch families headed by the three nobles.

12 monarchs serve as ministers of 11 of the 12 subjects in the Clock Tower. For example, the minister of the ore subject is Kenneth, Director Ken.

There is another ranking among the 12 subjects. Because of Kenneth's talent and accumulated wealth, El-Melloi's series is ranked fourth.

And ranked eighth is the Animusfiya family of the Astronomical Science Department.

Their current monarch, Marisbili Animsfiya, is the youngest of the 12 monarchs, and is several years younger than Kenneth.

His half-long white hair is slightly curly, with a braid on the left side, but it doesn't look girly. His handsome face is mostly confident and bookish. Marisbili has always been a man of few words.

He is a magician who concentrates on research, but he seems to be more social recently.

People are in high spirits when happy events happen. He has just solved a magic problem, and his daughter Olga Marie also came into the world not long ago.

That was a child who inherited his magic talent. Although it was not yet time to use astrology and other magic to calculate her future, Marisbili felt that it would definitely be a good ending.

"Teacher Maris Billy."

Facing the students' greetings, he nodded in response with a slight smile, holding a book and walking to his classroom. There are not many young magicians interested in astronomy nowadays, so he is pretty good to most students.

Approachable.

Just as he was preparing to start today's class, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in his ears! Not only the sound, but the roar that tore apart the heaven and earth also brought a huge burden to the magic circuit in his body.

, the resulting dizziness made him even shake!

"……What's wrong?"

Looking around with some confusion and vigilance, he heard screams from the quiet clock tower, proving that the roar was not just echoing in his ears, and his expression suddenly changed in the next second.

"It's... the sound of the magic barrier being broken through?! Someone is attacking the clock tower?!"

Don't blame him for his slow reaction, because this is really a fantasy, and what's even more bizarre is that the magic barrier carefully arranged and constructed by magicians of all ages... actually broke?!

It was broken almost instantly!

The next moment, a warning sign sounded in his heart, and along with that warning sign was the feeling of emptiness that the magic book in his hand was missing.

When he raised his eyes again, he was faced with boundless malice. What he saw was Ji Xing, who was flipping through his magic book and was covered in black energy!

Don't dare to move, can't move.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and Marisbili's breathing almost stopped. As the Lord of the Clock Tower and a magician of color, he couldn't even think of using magic to resist.

Dead Apostle? No, not like that!

What kind of monster is this? A monster?!

"Sorry, I'm offended."

Contrary to his expectations, the first words he heard from the 'monster' in front of him were a gentle apology... Is it polite?

Then he saw that the magic book he was going to teach in class was quickly flipped through, from beginning to end in half a minute.

"Excuse me, I need to take a look at the magic mark on your body again. Where is it?" Then he heard the other party say again.

The magic seal passed down from generation to generation is the most important thing in the magic family. It records all the efforts of the ancestors to reach their roots. It doesn't matter if you just look at it, because this thing is like a QR code. You can't tell anything by just looking at it.

, you have to scan it with your phone to know what’s inside.

But Marisbili didn't dare. This rich and deep darkness was too ominous. If it contaminated the magic seal, the Animusfiya family...

"It's on the back."

Marisbili was picked up.

Damn it, not polite at all!

The clothes on his back were lifted up, and the magic mark was praised by the other party. The muscles in Marisbili's body were stretched to the tightest, and he was ready to fight for his life.

But in just two seconds, he was put back on the ground. The other party even considerately smoothed his wrinkled clothes and said, "I'm offended."

Really just a glance?

"What on earth are you..."

"Lord Animusfiya?!"

"Monster, leave the teacher's side!"

After the reinforcements were done, the magician from the Legal Affairs Department and several of his students arrived here and immediately started chanting incantations, and the magic power surged.

Missiles, flames, thunder and lightning, restraints...

Various attack magics interacted with each other, and after Marisbili saw the opportunity to withdraw, they enveloped Ji Xing's location, causing a rumble of explosions!

The wall was crumbling, and the scattered smoke and dust were swirling, but there was no need to wait for the smoke and dust to dissipate. The magicians could see that the figure in the center of the smoke and dust remained unshaken and stood upright!

"ah……"

"Is it invalid..."

Regarding magic? How does it look like a heroic spirit? Is it related to the Holy Grail War that Kenneth participated in? Only then did Maris Billy vaguely recognize it, and immediately shouted: "Get out of here! This guy is not at the level that he can fight in a hurry!"

Among modern magicians, there are only a handful of existences that can reach the level of Servant-level combat power, let alone Ji Xing who came as a heroic spirit! Although this place is far away from Fuyuki, the magic power supply of the Great Holy Grail is not very continuous, causing Ji Xing to

It was slightly weakened by three points, but it wasn't like an attack that wasn't even scratching could break through the defense.

He looked around at the escaping magicians and picked a moment to seize: "You seem to have a magic mark too. Where is the mark? Show me."

…

Half an hour later.

In the open space outside the clock tower, magicians stood there in a messy manner. Discussions and shouts of fear and anger broke out one after another. Many noble boys and girls in slightly disheveled clothes even blushed.

Being grabbed on the hand to check the magic mark feels a bit like a finger test. Although I know it will have no impact, I can't help but feel ashamed. I am frightened and screamed by the strong malice, which will be added to my subsequent memories.

share the shame.

What on earth does that monster do?!

"It's a heroic spirit, and it should be a heroic spirit summoned from the Holy Grail War in the Far East. It looks like it's Lancer."

"Lancer? That's not Rhodes..."

"I don't know the reason, and you need to understand the point of what I'm saying. They are heroic spirits, not servants."

On the other side, a woman wearing a white robe, a red bow tie, and a single ponytail, with a queenly look on her face, explained this in a cold voice, and the four people around her, including Maris Billy, changed their expressions slightly.

They are the five monarchs currently in the clock tower, and the woman speaking is the current monarch of Barthemero, the head of the three nobles, the dean and assistant of the clock tower, and is known as the highest magician in modern times.

Semero Lorelei!

Her judgment was convincing, but her words were so contrary to common sense.

It is true that not only the Holy Grail War can summon heroic spirits, but no matter what the conditions, the summoned heroic spirits are actually servants.

If the heroic spirit is compared to a water tank, then the servant is a basin, and a basin of water scooped out from the water tank is also called a 'spirit base'.

Under different conditions and at different levels of the summoner, the spiritual base of the servant is different. In theory, there can be a servant whose spiritual base is infinitely close to the original body, that is, a basin as big as a water tank, but it is impossible to directly pour water.

The cylinder is summoned.

It was welded to the ground!

"how so?"

"It seems that there has been a huge change in the Holy Grail War in the Far East. I don't know what the malice entangled in the heroic spirit is for the time being, but it is most likely the cause of today's incident."

"Malicious..." Marisbili looked back at the noisy magicians: "Fortunately among the misfortunes, he did not carry out the massacre... If it is a heroic spirit, we can only trouble the dean, right?"

"He's not here," Lorelai said.

"...not there?"

The director of the Clock Tower is one of the disciples of the Magic King Solomon who created magic. He has been nesting in the center of the Clock Tower for more than 2000 years since the establishment of the Clock Tower. He is considered an inhuman existence and rarely shows up. Even the monarchs mostly

It only takes a few years to see him face to face.

Why isn't he here?

"I don't know, I can't get in touch." Lorelei hummed, "The old guy probably decided that he couldn't defeat the heroic spirits, so he hid."

The four monarchs were silent.

A sixty-year-old woman with silver hair as noble as a wolf, wearing a green robe and looking energetic, the monarch of Balu Yereta among the three nobles, Inolai sighed and said: "It suits his character.

So what should we do now? Although the heroic spirit infused with malice has just taken off some noble clothes to check the magic seals as a prank, and now weirdly ran to the library to read magic books, but what actions will he take next?

We have absolutely no way of judging.”

"Still... we have to send him back."
