"Mr. Maple, are you okay?"
See George resolves the shooting soldier from the sky, and also relaxes his breath.
However, before he could ask for clarity about what had happened, the courtyard's gate was abruptly pushed open, and a man and a woman burst in.
"Farusan-san, why are you here?"
Ikeda Soular looked at the girl who burst in, his face showing a look of surprise.
The girl was actually his schoolmate, Farfaun, who was in the same grade as him. She was the vice president of the student council, and a campus goddess who excelled in both academics and extracurricular activities.
However, the two of them were not particularly close, as his good friend, Student Council President Liu Dong Yicheng, had advised him to keep a distance from Farfaun, so as not to suffer persecution.
"Second class hero, this time it's my turn to take care of it!"
The female warrior saw the white-haired, red-clad man standing behind Farfaun, and immediately recognized him as an enchantress. She also understood that Farfaun was one of the seven magicians.
She immediately waved her transparent longsword and slashed at him.
The archer across from her reacted quickly, materializing two daggers in his hands to block the female swordsman's attack.
"Stop, you don't have to fight. Can you please tell me what's going on first?"
Ikeda Soular hurriedly rushed between the two to prevent the fight.
Farisuzu Rin, upon seeing this, touched her forehead:
"How can the seventh person be this guy? Alright, Souji-kun, it seems you're a novice. "
Anyway, good evening, Souji-san!”
"Good evening, Farisuzu-san."
Ikeda Soular looked at Farisuzu Rin, who was smiling brightly, and answered somewhat embarrassed.
"Restored to its original state."
George, standing there, waved his hand, and the courtyard, which had been damaged by the battle, immediately restored to its original state.
And this scene also attracted the attention of Farisuzu Rin and the archer.
The female swordsman was obviously a swordsman-type hero who had been converted out, and who was the young man who could perform advanced magic?
This kind of magic that can restore a destroyed area hasn't been seen by her, so it must be some form of advanced magic.
"Who is he?"
"He is Mr. Maple, transformed from my maple tree."
Ikeda Soular wanted to explain, but halfway through, he realized he didn't know how to explain it. How could he say that the maple tree he had planted had turned into a person who also knew magic?
"Transformed from the maple tree, what are you saying, Souji-kun?"
Farisuzu Rin touched Ikeda Soular's forehead and realized he wasn't feverish. How could he be speaking incoherently?
Could it be that the residual effects from the chest wound he was previously pierced through haven't been fully healed?
This evening, she was investigating the school where students had gone missing, discovering that someone had set up a phantom realm that could corrupt human flesh and absorb human souls.
After that, she was attacked by the soldier, and the incident was witnessed by Ikeda Soular, who had left the archery club's training ground late because he was cleaning it up.
The result was that Ikeda Soular was pierced through the heart by a soldier.
Fortunately, for some reason, even though his heart had been pierced, Ikeda Soular did not die immediately and still had a single breath left.
She then used the ruby left to her by her father to heal Ikeda Soular's wounds.
In fact, even before she went to middle school, she had gone to the school where Souji and Sakura were studying because of the student council's affairs. She saw Souji training in the high jump track at that time.
In spite of an impossible height, he did not stop. Therefore, she had a deep impression of Souji and often paid attention to the people here that amazed her.
Plus, her poor little sister Sakura seemed to like Souji as well, so she couldn't just ignore it.
So, when she realized that the soldier might still come after Ikeda Soular, she immediately brought the archer to help.
"This is what happened. Last night, I was at school..."
Ikeda Soular scratched his head and recounted everything that had happened to him at the school, including the time he was pierced by the soldier.
After all, among all these people, he was most familiar with and trusted Farisuzu Rin.
George is a maple tree transformed, and the female swordsman was summoned by a magical array; both are the first time I've seen them today.
Farisuzu Rin is a classmate and vice president of the student council, so we've known each other for a while. However, we're not particularly close.
"You've turned your maple tree into a person and defeated the soldier. "
After hearing Ikeda Soular's story, Farisuzu Rin widened her mouth instantly, feeling it was incredibly strange.
However, for some reason, her intuition told her that Ikeda Soular wasn't lying.
But she really couldn't believe it.
The soldier is one of the seven great professions, the Forsters, known for their strongest combat abilities in direct confrontations.
Moreover, the title of the son of Irish Light is no small thing. It is incredible that it would be defeated by a red maple tree planted by Souji-kun ten years ago.
"How about everyone come in and sit down, have a cup of tea and chat slowly?"
At this moment, the voice of George came from the living room. George had already walked into the living room and sat down quite casually.
The others nodded in agreement and came to the living room together.
"I'll go make you some tea."
Ikeda Soular hadn't found any tea leaves yet, but George waved his hand, and a few cups of hot tea appeared on the table out of thin air.
"It's already there, don't worry."
"The guy's magic."
Farisuzu Rin watched George wave his hand to produce the hot tea, and her pupils contracted once more.
As the sole inheritor of the Faras family, she is not like Souji-kun, who only knows a little about magic.
But she had never seen the magic that George had cast.
Waving to repair a destroyed house, waving to produce hot tea, without reciting spells or any magical array appearing; it's something even a magician would feel like the person is performing magic tricks.
"Alright, I'll explain the situation first."
She took a sip from her cup of tea and began to tell the information about the Holy Grail Wars.
"So, that's the situation. You are the seventh Master, and also the last participant in this Holy Grail War."
"To be honest, I'm still not very clear about this. If the Master needs a legitimate magician, I think it would be better to re-select, as I've only learned a little basic magic from my father."
Ikeda Soular sighed:
"And this is just too absurd. For some kind of Holy Grail, you have to kill six people, as well as the heroes they summon."
He had a promise with his adoptive father since he was young to be a just person and do just things. So, the Holy Grail War seemed unjust to him.
"But it's not necessarily that the Master has to be killed. Solving the heroes is also a solution. However, compared to powerful heroes, killing the Master is more efficient."
Even if the heroes are killed, as long as the Master still has the Command Seals, they can summon new heroes to continue participating in the war.
Farisuzu Rin explained.
Ikeda Soular's eyes lit up after hearing that:
"That means if I use up three Command Seals at once, I can give up my Master identity?"
"If you plan to give up being a Master, why not let it be transferred to me? I'm quite interested in this Holy Grail War."
At this point, George, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
