"So, I am the last one?"
After asking the servants to wait in the back, the graceful figure said this.
If Heine is a standard nobleman, then this one is undoubtedly a perfect young lady.
The sapphire blue dress, the ribbon of the same color, and the parasol with an ivory handle are gorgeous enough in themselves, but they can only serve as a foil to the beauty of this young lady.
"Oh, oh, oh," Qingxuan exclaimed in admiration. But this time, no one cared about it, because not only him, but also Gray and Rosalind, who were also women, showed different degrees of admiration.
The girl, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, attracted the attention of everyone present.
"... As expected, you're here. Were you lured here by the scent of the gorgeous treasure?" said the old man in the wheelchair with disgust.
"What's the problem, old man?"
Hearing her criticism, the girl responded with a smile. The way she walked over seemed to say that she was the master of this city.
From the old man's throat came a laugh that sounded like the magma of hell rolling.
"... Oh, I'm talking about your greedy blood. Luviazelita Edelfeldt."
"It's an honor."
The girl in the blue dress, Luviazelita, still smiled back at these words.
This was an invisible competition. If the brief fight between Shinji and Seigen could be considered a physical fight, then the fight between the two was a literary fight, using expressions, words, and momentum as weapons to attack their opponents.
Generally speaking, the older party tends to have the advantage in this kind of battle, but facing Orlok, who is old enough to be her great-grandfather, Luvia still holds her ground and displays the demeanor that only a favored daughter of heaven can display.
"Instructor."
Gray instinctively looked up at Shinji. It was a habit she developed after coming to London to ask her teacher for help when she was in doubt.
Shinji is also used to answering for the mysterious world's little white gray classmate:
"The Edelfelt family is a famous magic family in Finland, famous for gem magic and 'treasure hunters'."
"'Treasure Hunter'; I like that term."
"What 'treasure hunter'? It's obviously a hyena!"
Luvia nodded slightly, while Orlok snorted coldly.
Shinji continued, "The current headmaster is currently in a semi-retired state, and his daughter is active everywhere. She is Miss Luviazelita. I heard that she is the most outstanding heir in the history of Edelfeld. Like our professor, she also has various nicknames, such as 'Finland's Rising Star'; 'Hunting Dog of the Arena'; 'Lady Crane'; -ah"
By the time I realized I had let the cat out of the bag, it was already too late.
If you randomly ask a few Fate fans about Luvia, the first thing they will think of is Rin's nemesis, a rich person with a bad temper who fights with her every time she meets. How many people will remember that Luvia is not like this at all. As long as she doesn't meet Rin, she will always be a model of a lady, an elegant noble lady.
Shinji was no exception, especially after witnessing the fight between her and her old enemy in the parallel world, Luvia's hot-tempered image had already been deeply rooted in his mind. Even when he saw her as a goddess, he couldn't help but think of the image in his mind.
"Whew, 'Hounds of the Arena'; 'Lady Crane';... How fitting."
Orlok laughed out loud in a very unkind way, and the others present couldn't help laughing as well.
Luvia's smile froze on her face, and amazing magic gathered around her. Similar to Toosaka Rin, they were perfect young ladies most of the time, but when they touched taboos, they would turn into Tyrannosaurus.
Unfortunately, "Lady Crane" is Luvia's taboo. Because it was a public occasion, Luvia barely maintained the image of a lady and did not immediately attack. She just stared at Shinji and said word by word:
"Sir, may I ask where did you hear this nickname?"
"This, that, I can't remember at the moment."
Shinji scratched his cheek awkwardly, trying to get away with it. However, Luvia was not willing to let him go.
"If you can't remember, you can think about it later, or should I regard your behavior as a provocation to me?"
"I really didn't mean that." Shinji smiled bitterly.
"What do you mean?"
"I just let it slip."
"You let it slip, so that means you think so in your heart?" The magic power gathered into pressure and condensed at Luvia's fingertips.
"... "Shinji really wanted to slap himself in the face at this moment. Why was he talking so much
"Be prepared to hear such slanderous words spoken to a lady."
The air changed and the spiral began to accelerate. It was a classic Nordic magic and also Luvia's most commonly used attack magic "Gandr" with a cursed nature.
The general "Gandr" destroys the target's health, reduces the body's resistance, and makes the target sick. But when used by a master like Luvia, it can cause direct damage.
The next second, a dark-colored curse bullet whizzed out.
Judging from the position where the curse bullet was locked, Luvia did not want to take Shinji's life, but just wanted to teach him a lesson.
Unfortunately, Shinji's body had been strengthened by the golden apple, and magic of this level was repelled by his anti-magic power before it could even get close.
Luvia didn't believe it and increased the output of magic power but it still didn't work.
"The so-called most outstanding heir is just like this, that's why I say you are just a 'nouveau riche' family." Orlok sneered with glee.
Others were not as calm as the old man. All the magicians in the hall were first-rate magicians who could naturally see the destructive power contained in the curse bullets. However, Shinji could easily deflect these curse bullets - perhaps this was a genius who was no less than Luvia. The intention of the El-Melloi classroom must be re-evaluated. They were definitely not here for a simple formality.
After several spell bomb failures, Luvia's expression gradually became serious, and a sapphire of the same color as her dress appeared in her hand.
"Call."
As the sapphire whispered, it glowed, and magic power ten times more powerful than a curse bullet swirled around the girl's body, accelerating.
That was a magic that was enough to break through the enemy's magic resistance, and Luvia finally got serious.
Shinji sighed and said, "It's about time to stop, Miss Luvia. I apologize for my mistake, please don't escalate the conflict."
Luvia did not respond and repeated her previous chant.
"Call (Wake up)!"
Shinji shook his head helplessly when he saw this scene. Not only were the types of magic they used similar, but they were also very much like Rin in that they were hot-blooded and reckless. They were truly enemies and relatives.
