Shinji didn't tell Waver this casually, but had deeper considerations.
One of the participants in the Interspecies Holy Grail War, the character with the most scenes is Flatt, the number one problem student under Weber. The Servant he summoned is also somewhat related to Shinji - Jack the Ripper of the Berserker class.
Flatt joined the war because he got the news from Weber. In other words, the news about the Heterogeneous Holy Grail War would have reached Weber's ears in advance. He wanted to remind Weber first. If it really came true, Weber would definitely contact him, so he would not miss the opportunity to disrupt the situation.
Waver's reaction was the same as Shinji thought. He looked at the safe in the office thoughtfully and said in a deep voice.
"I see. I'll keep an eye on it."
"Just keep an eye on it, but don't pay too much attention to it. If you really want to participate, you can do so this winter - you must really want to meet him and tell him about your achievements."
What Shinji was talking about was the Fifth Holy Grail War that he and Justissa had been waiting for for a long time.
"This..." Weber did not answer. He was silent for a long time before sighing, "I'll think about it."
"Okay, I'll keep the spot for you."
This was not the first time that Shinji had advised Waver, nor was it the first time that he had received such an answer. Knowing that he had concerns, he did not say much, and stopped at the point. He had said everything that could be said, and had done everything that could be done. It was up to Waver himself whether he would come or not.
With the personalities of him and the King of Conquerors, they won with dignity and lost with conviction. Such a master and servant is the one Shinji most wants to be a part of the war. Regardless of whether they are allies or not, regardless of success or failure, they will not become an obstacle to purifying the Holy Grail.
"Thanks."
"You're welcome, we've known each other for ten years, El-Melloi II."
"I've told you so many times not to use that name, why don't you listen?"
"You didn't listen when the two Lords and I asked you to take a vacation."
Shinji said "returning the favor in his own way", but in his heart he was thinking that because of his intrusion, Kayneth was still alive and on the peak of his life. You can't inherit the name of El-Melloi, and the El-Melloi II who was popular in the previous life of Type-Moon will not exist, at least let yourself remember him.
"Why are you back to square one again?" Waver retreated. "If you really want me to take a vacation, then let me check assignments and share the course load. Then teach courses related to the history of magic and the evolution of magic. You know more about this than the lecturers who specialize in history. I really don't know where you learned all this knowledge."
Because I have a master who has lived from the Age of Gods to the present and has always been paying attention to the present world - I can't say such words.
"Just put it in the afternoon. I don't have any plans recently."
"Whether you have made arrangements or not is not up to you. It depends on the young lady."
The eldest lady is naturally the current Lord Barthelmero, Lorelea who stands on top of the clock tower and is Shinji's only current employer.
Since Kenneth successfully ascended to the "Crown", he gradually reduced other activities and concentrated on academic research. Under his leadership, the entire El-Melloi faction gradually calmed down and rarely participated in factional struggles. Other factions would not provoke El-Melloi, who had the "Crown" and was in his heyday.
In such an environment, Shinji, who has always restrained himself and is unwilling to show up, is of little use. The relationship between the two gradually breaks away from the relationship of interest and becomes a pure human relationship.
On the contrary, as Lorelea's control over the Law and Politics Department deepened, she came into contact with more and more of the dark side of the Clock Tower, which gave Shinji more room to show his abilities. Although Lorelea's biggest wish was for Shinji to step forward and officially become her right-hand man, Shinji refused to agree, and in the end, they both backed off.
Shinji continued to hide in the shadow of the Law and Politics Department before he came of age, and accordingly had to ensure a sufficient workload every year. After he came of age, he officially joined the Law and Politics Department and worked for Lorelea. Only a handful of people knew about this, and Waver was one of them.
Shinji rolled his eyes at Waver's teasing. "Hey, hey, I'm just helping you share the pressure. You're so—"
Before he could finish, there was a knock on the door.
"—FXXK, you're not right, are you?"
"It's rude to swear in front of a lady, Mr. Matou."
A female voice with a hint of childishness came from outside the door. Although it sounded soft, it was impossible to deny that she seemed to be teasing the other person. There was excitement in her voice, but it was more doubtful whether she intended to hide it than to say that she couldn't hide it.
There is only one person Shinji knows who has this kind of voice - Lanis Archizolti. She was originally the heiress of Archizolti, a branch of Archipolud, but she gave up her family inheritance rights shortly after Kenneth returned, and resolutely joined the then weak El-Melloi classroom, becoming Weber's "sister".
"It's been a long time, Miss Lanis."
"Long time no see, Mr. Matou."
Her beautiful blonde hair spread out at the door, her porcelain-white hands lifted the hem of her skirt gracefully, and her flaming eyes paused on Shinji for a moment before turning to Waver.
"Good afternoon, dear brother."
Normally, it would be a wonderful thing to have such a beautiful girl greet you, but Weber looked like he had seen some huge trouble, and his frown was even deeper than when he saw the group of problem students in the courtyard.
Seeing Weber like this, Lanis smiled even more happily.
"Brother, you are frowning again. This will only add more wrinkles. I don't want you to become a lousy middle-aged man when I get married. It's not a good match for me."
"Madam, please keep your jokes to a minimum." "Madam" was Weber's special name for Lanis, to express his respectful attitude of keeping a distance.
But Lanis didn't buy it at all. She put on a pitiful look with obvious sadness on her pretty face.
"A joke? Oh, my dear brother, you really hurt me when you say that. Don't you understand my heart? I—"
"Ma'am!" Weber couldn't help but raise his voice.
Lanis finally calmed down and complained quietly: "You don't understand romance. I'm really worried about my married life."
Weber felt his stomach ache getting worse. All the students combined were not as troublesome as the girl in front of him. The students at most had personality problems, but this girl had risen to the level of a "devil" - just imagine, which girl would keep talking about marrying herself from the age of 7 or 8, and keep talking about it for 6 or 7 years.
What's even more outrageous is that her devilish side is only directed at herself. She always appears to be an elegant and proper young lady in public, with impeccable performance and reputation. In many cases, she can even give orders on behalf of Weber. Many people nicknamed her "the woman who supports Weber" and "Weber's young wife".
To this, Weber only wanted to say: "Who wants to marry this 'little devil'? Ah, I don't want to die young!"
