Weber hasn't been having a good time lately.
Although he was strengthened by the "True Red Fruit" and his physical strength, energy and physical fitness improved a lot, two fine lines appeared at the corners of his eyes.
There are many reasons why it is not good.
There is a subjective aspect: whether or not to go to Fuyuki to participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War. This question troubled Waver for quite a long time, but when the Mystic Eye Collection Train was returning, something happened that prompted him to make a decision.
The holy marks appeared, in the same position and with the same pattern as ten years ago, as if it was fate.
Although Weber guessed that there must be some hidden story, most likely related to Hatteras's final sacrifice, he still decided to join the battle.
The reason for the Hatreth incident was that he did not keep Iskandar's holy relic well. If he had not let Hatreth steal the holy relic, perhaps this incident would not have happened and the Holy Grail would not have had any problems. Moreover, whether it was a coincidence or man-made, it was an indisputable fact that he was chosen by the Holy Grail, and the people around him also supported him. It would be unreasonable to continue to escape.
After getting off the train and returning to the clock tower, Weber began to adjust his work and took a half-month to one-month vacation.
Unlike Kenneth's high-profile trip to Fuyuki, Weber acted very low-key, and the people he handed over to were all trustworthy people like Lanis. At this time, the two places in the Clock Tower had been decided, and the outside world did not know that Weber was going to Fuyuki for the second time.
But only the outside world and those who hang around Webber all day know about it. Even those who don’t know about it will find out after seeing the newly emerged Faker. This has caused Webber the greatest confusion.
There are few normal people around Weber. Most of them are problem children. They are troublemakers who are eager to create trouble for the world. They can create trouble even when there is nothing wrong, let alone have trouble themselves.
The Mystic Eye Collection Train incident was caused by Sven's promotion, and Flatt's return to his hometown allowed Weber to have two days of relative peace. Now that the promotion ceremony is over and Flatt's affairs in his hometown are done, Weber's head begins to hurt again.
Less than five minutes after Grey posted the new class schedule and returned to the office, Flatt was the first to rush in. The first words he said when he opened the door were:
"Professor, are you going to participate in the Holy Grail War? I want to go too. I want to go too. The Holy Grail sounds super cool. I really want to see it."
Then, Sfin rushed in, sniffing like a husky and yelling:
"Grey dear, my fair lady, today's scent is the floating hyacinth, are you going out with the professor? Take me with you, take me with you!"
Although she was immediately punished by Faker - Faker was rude to Webber, but very kind to Grey. Not only did he never cause trouble for Grey, he also often gave her advice on martial arts and magic. When Grey was harassed by Sven, she would not hesitate to use her fists and feet to calm Sven down - but Sven's attitude was already clearly expressed.
Suddenly, Weber was overwhelmed. Seeing this, Gray immediately asked Faker to cast silencing magic and restraining magic on the two of them, and then threw them out.
However, Weber's condition did not improve, because he knew that the two guys would not give up and would find ways to follow him.
He really didn't want his students to step into this quagmire.
Flat and Sfin were considered the best among the students, but in the entire magic world, they were still too young. Their abilities as masters might be enough, but their mentality was far from enough. Waver didn't want them to follow in Kenneth's footsteps. No one could guarantee that there wouldn't be another Emiya Kiritsugu this time, nor could they guarantee that they would have the same chance to make a comeback as Kenneth.
Indeed, Waver has Shinji as an ally, who is powerful and very reliable. But Shinji has not yet revealed his plan to Waver, and it is obvious that he intends to keep a certain distance from him, and at best not to kill each other. Under such circumstances, Waver really cannot guarantee the safety of the students.
So he had to come up with a perfect, flawless way to keep them in the Clock Tower.
Weber made multiple preparations for this. He arranged classes that students must not skip, otherwise they would not be able to graduate. He also asked Kenneth to block their entry and exit channels. He also asked Colles, one of the "normal students", to keep an eye on them and inform Lenise to arrest them immediately if there was any problem.
Weber thought he had arranged everything perfectly, and Flatt and Sven became much more obedient in the following days. But on the night of their departure, Weber, in disguise, walked into the airport with Grey, and just before they were about to board the plane, three men in black, also in disguise, blocked their way.
Weber was dumbfounded at the time. If others couldn't recognize them, how could they not recognize them? These were his most cautious and guarded-against problem students, Flatt, Sfin, and Colles.
Weber was devastated.
How did these two guys get here? How did they know we were leaving tonight
And Coles, I asked you to use your conscience to keep an eye on them, not to go along with them.
Looking at the time and then at the smiles on the three people's faces (Flat and Sphinx were proud, and Colles was embarrassed), Webber gritted his teeth and directly used the ultimate means - Faker's "Gold and Silver Demon Eyes".
Do you think I can do nothing to you in the airport, in front of everyone? Don't underestimate the teacher, problem students.
Faker did not refuse, and she did not want to take a group of immature kids to the battlefield.
However, just as she activated her magic eye and prepared to issue a forced order, a woman came out from the VIP passage next to her and said to Waver:
"I brought them here."
Although the woman was wrapped up like a dumpling in her coat, fur hat and scarf, her voice was very familiar to Weber—a woman he absolutely did not want to mess with, Her Majesty the Queen of the Clock Tower, Barthelmero Lorelaya.
"Lord Barthelmero, what are you doing?"
Weber was going crazy, but the other party's identity meant that he could not treat him in the tough way he treated students.
"I'm going to Fuyuki, too, and I'm hiring them as my assistants." Loreleija said calmly, as if she was going on a trip. "I didn't force them. They volunteered."
"Lord!"
We have known each other for so many years, and we are all familiar with each other's personalities. Such high-sounding words are meaningless. What Weber wants to know is why she went to monitor the movements of vampires and secretly returned here, and why she secretly hired students even though she knew he didn't want them to go.
Hearing Waver's unfriendly tone, Lorelaia sighed and took off a little bit of her gloves, revealing a faint hint of red.
"I was chosen, too."
