Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"It's been a long time, Waver... Although it may seem a little strange for me to say this, it doesn't make any difference to you..."

“…How…is this possible!?”

Weber's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the familiar young man in front of him. Ten years had left no trace on his appearance.

It's like having the ability to stay young forever...

No, wait.

If it were a normal magician, this ability would simply make him popular among thousands of people, but he suddenly remembered that the other person didn't seem to be a magician.

Rather, it is the heroic spirit that materialized during the Holy Grail War...

"...Shinji, I didn't expect that we would meet again at this time."

"Indeed, I had never thought that you have changed so much during this period of time!"

"After all, after so many years, a normal person would normally have changed a lot... But you haven't changed at all."

"..."

The smile on Shinji's face gradually faded. The other party's reaction made him feel a little...uncomfortable?

No, that shouldn't be the case, but he thought the other party would be enthusiastic when meeting old friends, but he didn't expect that the other party's face was a little distant and wary.

"...Heh, it seems you really have forgotten me. It seems I was overthinking it...Goodbye."

"...!?"

Weber saw the young man's face change and he turned to leave. He subconsciously wanted to keep him, but the words came to his lips but he couldn't say them.

"Wait..."

"boom!"

"..."

The outstretched hand froze in mid-air, but the door in front of him was slammed shut mercilessly, and the air suddenly became quiet.

"...Master...did you have a conflict with that friend..."

Gray stood aside and waited for a long time before she dared to ask softly.

But this time, her teacher did not answer immediately as usual.

"...Gray, let's go."

"Eh? Where are you going?"

"Do I need to explain? Of course I went to deliver the report."

"But...but the one just now...was."

The girl wanted to talk about what happened to the man just now, but after seeing the complicated expression on her master's face, she chose to shut up and followed obediently.

...in the corridor

In the classroom, the two boys, both with blond hair but completely different personalities, were each carrying a cardboard box filled with props, walking forward while chatting.

At this time, at the end of the corner, Weber and Gray holding the report ran quickly from the other side.

Just as he approached the corner, Sven's nose moved, and then suddenly stopped:

"...Wait a minute, Flatt!"

"Oh? Wait for what..."

"boom!"

Flatt, who didn't react in time, bumped into Weber who was running from the other side at the corner. They both fell to the ground at the same time, and the sharp triangle in the box fell to the ground.

"Master! Are you okay?"

Weber stood up from the ground, holding his head. He looked at the clothes he had only worn for a few days and they were scratched, his eyes full of heartache.

"Damn it... the backlash of the curse, those old guys!"

Weber recalled how he had just cursed the higher-ups of the Clock Tower, but now because the gap in strength between him and those guys was too big, the curse backfired on him and he was in such a bad luck.

He raised his head and glanced at the opposite side. When he saw that it was Flat who was giving him a headache, his face became even more sad.

Forget it, let's just send the stuff over first...

Without the time to deal with this terrible misfortune, Weber continued walking towards his destination, and happened to step on the sharp little triangles on the ground.

"what!"

The stinging pain in the soles of his feet made him step back uncontrollably, but the consequence was that he stepped on more spikes and finally lost his balance and fell under the countless spikes.

"Ahhh!"

"Master!"

"Uh..."

Flatt stood up from the ground and saw the teacher screaming in front of him. He said with a guilty conscience:

"I shouldn't have done this..."

Sifen looked at the other person helplessly, then squatted down and picked up the props on the ground with the magic puppet next to him.

......

"Damn it! What the hell is going on today? Why are troubles popping up one after another!"

"...Meow?"

"Go away, you stupid cat!"

After delivering the report, Weber limped back to the room and sat on the sofa. He felt very bad looking at the redness and swelling on his feet.

"Gray, get me some painkillers."

"Yes."

"Ahahahaha! What a funny guy..."

"..."

Just as Gray turned back to get the medicine, there were only two people in the room when a strange sound suddenly rang out.

"...There are so many monarchs in the Clock Tower, but he is the only one who fell like this because of his bad mouth, hahahaha!"

Hearing this noise, Waver immediately covered his face helplessly. Gray also froze for a moment, then quickly took out a strange cube cage from under her cloak and said:

"Yade!"

"Ok?"

Hearing the girl calling its name, the rather spiritual little cube in the cage made a puzzled sound...it turned out that it was this thing that said those words just now.

Gray looked at Yade with displeasure at his rude words, slowly raised her hands holding the cage, and then suddenly began to swing them up and down.

The strange creature locked in the cage was shaken back and forth, screaming...

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Although his revenge was achieved, Waver did not seem happy. After all, although the other party's words were direct, they were all true. He was too weak.

He was so weak that he was counterattacked by the other party just by cursing behind his back, and the other party might not even know about it.

[With this appearance, how can you possibly be worthy of being a subject of that king. ]

Waver lowered his head, recalling the not-so-good memories of the past, and his face became depressed...

When he gradually came to his senses, he looked again and found that the shoes at his feet were gone.

"?"

"...Meow!"

A cat's cry attracted his attention. He looked up at the black cat that had broken into people's houses countless times, and the shoe it was holding...

"!? Hey! That's mine, let go!"

Weber, suddenly feeling offended, rushed forward in a rage, but the bad luck of the curse seemed to have not yet dissipated. His foot tripped over the edge of the table and he fell to the ground with a bang.

Yade, who had just escaped from Gray's grasp, saw this scene and laughed wildly again:

"Ahahahaha! What an idiot you are, hahaha!"

"whispering sound..."

Weber touched his bitten shoes with a sad heart. He didn't expect that these shoes, which he bought with his first salary, would be damaged in this way today...

Gray ran over and saw Waver's expression, and said very skillfully:

"Well... although there are a lot of scratches, I will try my best to fix it."

"please..."
