[Comprehensive] Fate holy fool

At [-]:[-] in the morning, Suiqunyuan student cafeteria.

The air was unusually heavy.

To be precise, only the atmosphere around Satsuki's table was extremely dignified.

It is as if there is an invisible barrier blocking it, which only separates this area from the stable and slightly noisy daily life, forming a certain heterogeneous dimension.

"------"

In the frozen silence, Akutagawa neither moved nor expressed, his dark eyes bred unfathomable gloom.

Unpleasant at a glance.

No matter the sitting posture or the good table manners are far from his usual atrocities, only the expression mixed with coldness and displeasure, against the backdrop of black and white, makes people think of Goth for no reason. Grim Reaper overlooking the ground in the painting.

...It's no wonder that the surrounding tension level is three percentage points higher than usual.

Originally, the following advice had been widely circulated within Hokuhara.

——Don’t call Orihara Linya; don’t chat with him online; if he calls, hang up.

This will at least allow you to be yourself and remember who you are until you graduate.

——Don't get close to the sleeping Hibari Kyoya; don't let the sober Hibari find that you are violating the school rules; don't pass by the Hibari in groups.

This will at least ensure that your limbs are still in a complete state before graduation.

And - don't meet Akutagawa.Run if you come across it.

This way you can at least live until graduation.

Even among the above-mentioned catastrophic phenomena that were collectively known as the "Three Black Circles of Hokuhara" at some time, Akutagawa is also known for his eccentric personality and outstanding lethality.Unlike a random boss that drifts freely across the map like clouds, Akutagawa's danger is closer to the rumored assassination army, with professional cruelty and ruthlessness that can be seen everywhere in the underground world.

After all, it is strange that members of the yakuza who are genuine and genuine will appear on the peaceful campus with the goal of "cultivating the next generation of magicians".

Well, adults also have various reasons~

For Satsuki's occasional question, the tutor Dazai Osamu just summed it up with this sentence.

Alas, in short, it is a dirty deal that often occurs in society.

Gao Yue nodded, and also carried it in her heart.

Not only Akutagawa, but also young magicians with gray pasts who can't show up in public are everywhere in this school.Since the school banned private fights during the period other than the Holy Grail War, even though it accommodated so many powder kegs, there have been no serious casualties over the years, but daily quarrels and other misfires are always inevitable.

——In fact, even Rin Tohsaka, who usually sees people with the face of a top student, once had a bad conversation with a certain Finnish lady (who can kill Rin with money but uses force) under the watchful eyes of the public. Tit-for-tat, even open hand-to-hand combat, almost razed the building together with the opponent.

In order to compensate for the damaged public property, Rin spent the next two months living on instant noodles and free food from Emiya's family... forget about it.

By the way, the student dormitory where Satsuki and Akutagawa are located is commonly known as the "ghost mansion", which is also the exclusive place for the so-called gray zone personnel.

Even in that environment, Akutagawa is regarded as the embodiment of disaster and ominousness, and is feared and alienated.So not to mention that it was in the middle of the cafeteria where ordinary students gathered, and Akutagawa was obviously in a bad mood at this moment... Since he took his seat, people have put down their plates and run away, there is no way to do it.

"That, Akutagawa-senpai."

——However, in this menacing and suffocating atmosphere, there was a voice that was as calm as usual.

"If you really don't want to eat the oranges in the regular fruit pudding, even if you stare at them until night, you might as well pick them all out and give them to me. This dessert is only available one day a week, and I've been looking forward to it since six days ago Yes. PS: The purchase restriction system is dead."

A click.

The echo of cracked ice seems to be heard in the ear.

"...It's really meaningless obsession. Instead of paying attention to food, it's better to remember the looks and specialties of a few enemies."

Saying that, the mafia youth who had a picky eating habit for no reason and without knowing it, handed out the spoon while maintaining his gaze to one side.

"Yourself."

"Hey, you mean I can eat whatever I want?"

Satsuki tilted her head suspiciously. "Senior, you're fine with other fruits, right? It's not that you hate sweets... Could it be that you don't have a good appetite today?"

"...Rather than having an appetite, it's better to say that you have no mood. What about you? No matter how much you look like no one else is there, when you see that kind of list, you won't lose any thoughts in your heart."

"idea……"

The "list" that Akutagawa mentioned meant that on the way from the apartment to the student cafeteria, they saw the "Hokunhara Holy Grail War Preliminary Finalist List" that was just announced this morning across the campus.

If there is any element in it that would make Akutagawa's mood worse, it should be the name "No.66 Atsushi Nakajima".

I heard that recently Dazai is very fond of the freshman of the zoology department, and he is trying every means to encourage him to apply for a transfer.

Even Satsuki, who doesn't visit the tutor's office very often, has heard him mention this name many times, let alone Akutagawa, who can't wait to put on the bedding and settle down in the office.

(Nakajima-kun, you passed...)

(The teacher is really discerning. That's right, after all, the effective ingredients of that person are vision, scheming, and social residue.)

For Satsuki, such a frank and plain feeling is the limit.The boy named "Dun" is undoubtedly a harmless herbivore - although he can transform into a tiger, he is still a herbivore - even if he has obtained Master authority, he will not pose a threat.

In comparison, what aroused her vigilance even more was...

"Wow, Satsuki, you are unscrupulously plundering other people's dinner plates again. Let me tell you, don't you follow Mr. Fujimura as an example?"

Yes, this is it.

Of course it's not just this.

"No, you can't grow up to be the kind of good-for-nothing who steals Emiya-san's snacks. Compared with Fujimura-sensei, you should be more like Sakura."

——Taking these words as a signal, the scarlet demon swept over like a whirlwind.

Probably because I took a beauty sleep last night, or because I was confident about the summoning, Rin Tohsaka was full of energy and radiant this morning, with a bright smile as if he had just picked up 300 million yen on the side of the road, and even flicked his ponytails All taller than usual.

"Good morning Rin—and unfortunately, I do not accept your accusation."

Gaoyue made a serious excuse, then raised her face uprightly, and puffed her cheeks towards Rin as if she had lost her temper.

"I have asked the owner's permission, so this is neither plundering nor stealing, but a gift based on friendship."

"...I don't remember any friendship, and I don't need fellow students or juniors. If Mr. Dazai didn't say..."

"—is a gift based on friendship."

At the same time, he ignored Akutagawa who had no intention of cooperating.

"Oh, I heard you already? Satsuki, you are still the same, you are being dumped every day."

"Mmm."

Since a long time ago, Satsuki was not good at dealing with Rin who is strong, capable and likes to play tricks.It has nothing to do with negative emotions such as fear or disgust. In a word, it is pure attributes that are incompatible and cannot be dealt with.

Moreover, for Satsuki who unilaterally regards Sakura as a sister and cares for her, Rin, a sister who "can't recognize each other but cares about it in secret" and has an extremely domineering way, is really too strong in the way of sister control. rival.

...Although she has no qualifications to compete from the beginning.

(Sister is a good thing, wish I had one too.)

This is Gao Yue's heartfelt voice.But my parents are gone, so I can't make such a wish on the Holy Grail anyway, so I'm really just thinking about it.

"Okay, that's all about Satsuki's bad habits... By the way, have you seen the list announced on campus? It really surprised me, and there are too many acquaintances anyway. I want to try to be in the preliminary round During the period, let people cooperate to see, Satsuki, what do you say?"

After the usual bickering and greetings, Rin Tohsaka changed the subject and switched to the shrewd and calm magician posture without any obstacles.

"I have no opinion."

In line with the change in Rin's style of painting, Satsuki's tone of response was also calm and serious, "There is no need to make too many enemies in the preliminary round, as far as the policy is concerned, Rin is correct. The problem lies in the partner—"

"—Akutagawa-kun can't count on that."

Not understanding her friend's selfishness at all, Rin cut off her inadvertently drifting gaze to the opposite side first.

"That's the truth, there's nothing wrong with saying it in person. According to his style, neither collective action nor defensive warfare is imaginable, right?"

"Cough cough... cough, that's right."

In contrast to Satsuki who expressed dissatisfaction with a "tch", Akutagawa coughed with his shoulders lowered, and laughed softly as if to appreciate Rin's wise decision.

"Although that person said something like 'helping each other' which is a headache... but during the war is an exception. I have no intention of showing mercy."

"It's as if I've stayed..."

Rin frowned, and complained instead of his friend who was concentrating on tasting the pudding.

"If I remember correctly, Satsuki used to be hospitalized often because of 'combat practice'. Really, what kind of training can make people like that? It's almost the same as one-sided violence."

"That's because she didn't practice enough."

Unmoved, Akutagawa brought the teacup to his lips, "If I hadn't shown mercy, Fukamachi wouldn't be sitting here right now."

"Are you serious? I can't stand it, that's why I have nothing to do with believers in Spartan education. There is not only one way of so-called rigorous training. Besides, the 'forgiveness' I mentioned is not the problem—"

"Spicy hot pot is good, I always shorten the topic first..."

Satsuki sipped her spoon and interrupted vaguely, "Rin, you have to find a companion among the finalists other than seniors? I don't have any other acquaintances here. If indirect relationships are okay, then Mr. Dazai is very concerned about it recently. Nakajima..."

"------"

Before the words finished, there was only a creaking sound, as if Akutagawa was clenching his teeth hard.

"...Forget about that, Satsuki, it seems that it will only increase the difficulty of clearing the level. To be honest, I didn't expect much from your relationship."

※※※

After that, Satsuki listened to Rin's succinct and clear analysis of the preliminary sand table while immersed in the guilt of "I don't have friends...why do I have no friends?"

A total of 144 finalists belonged to the twelve magic subjects of Hokuhara Academy.

Holistic foundations, individual foundations, seances, minerals, animals, plants, heritage, celestial bodies, creation, curses, archeology, and modern magic.

The school superimposes the results of the written test with the results of the ability assessment held regularly every year, arranges them in order from high to low, and assigns numbers from No.1 to No.144.In other words, the number also represents the ability as a magician, and it can be called a symbol of dignity like a popularity ranking in comics.

Generally speaking, after entering school, students will first study in "all basic" subjects for a period of time, and then divert to other subjects according to their talents, similar to high schools and universities in general society.By the way, problem children whose abilities or personalities are too strange to integrate into any other disciplines are often kicked into the newly established "modern magic" in the end.

As a matter of course, there are also those who skip the basics and go directly to the sub-subjects in this school, and the tragic mortals who can't make their talents blossom and bear fruit after wasting half their lives, and can only linger at the bottom for thousands of years.

To give an example, by the way, Matou Sakura's adopted brother - the only son of the Matou family's generation, No.138 Matou Shinji is like this.

With a good appearance and a smart mind, he is very popular among girls in basic subjects. Coupled with the financial resources and inheritance of the famous local Matou family, he may become a generation of outstanding harem male masters, not to mention magic.

However, it is a basic subject.

According to the school's common sense, if "modern magic" means maverick or brilliant mind, then repeaters in basic subjects are equivalent to salted fish that are three months out of date, and they are still salted fish after turning over.

"...That being said, I didn't expect Shinji to come to challenge again without giving up. He obviously has no chance of winning. What is he thinking?"

"Rin, you can't despise Shinji just because he's a scumbag. I've already learned from Dazai-sensei how terrible a scumbag is when he's serious."

"Really? I think Shinji is a different kind of scum from your mentor..."

In this way, the two started a mysterious discussion around the contestants.

As Rin said, including Matou Shinji and the aforementioned Atsushi Nakajima, this list is full of familiar names.Take No.144, which is the last one "Kishinami Hakuno", this girl from the basic department works in the same coffee shop as Satsuki, and she has to stay up late every year at the end of the semester to review as if her body is hollowed out. You can only fly past the line, an ordinary girl through and through.For some reason, Hakuno was only able to rely on his face during the Holy Grail War to draw five stars, which made others envious and helpless.

"But 144... In a sense, it's amazing. Well, it's simply amazing. Hakuno-san will definitely become a big shot in the future."

Rin was overwhelmed with emotion.

In contrast, Satsuki's number in the preliminary selection was 26, Sakura's was 11, and Emiya's little sister (?) Ilya was undoubtedly in the top five—clearly before the exam, she yelled, "It's not fair." I want to answer the paper in German!" Complaining all over the sky, what a scary child.

The 13th place Akutagawa looks a little low, but he is busy killing people and stealing goods and has hardly ever attended classes. It is better to say that it is a miracle to get this ranking.

In addition, because several of Rin's career rivals (such as a certain Finnish wrestling lady) went abroad for exchange, Rin Tohsaka sits on the No.2 throne without any suspense.

...yes, just the second.

"Beyond the sky is the sky, and there are people beyond the people", Gao Yue understood the true meaning of this sentence from the cruel reality of the magic world.

Even that dashing girl who is like the incarnation of the Tohsaka family motto has powerful enemies that she has never been able to defeat so far.

As soon as they stepped into the school building, they saw the enemy.

"Yeah, good morning. Miss Tohsaka, and... well, Miss Fukamachi, right?"

Naturally falling, shiny and smooth hair like flowing gold, fair side face, soft lines that make people mistaken gender.The young man just stood there holding on to the railing, greeting people with his invariable smile and gentle voice, and his whole body seemed to glow with a warm and dazzling halo like the rising sun.

"Oh, isn't this Leo-san. Good morning."

Standing still, Rin replied with a dry voice that clearly showed tension.

Leonardo Vistario Xavi.

As long as you look at the length of this pretentious name, you can tell that he is a high-society elite with the same wealth as Eliasviel von Einzbern.That is to say, the hateful rich * generation, the embodiment of capitalist exploitation system.

Regardless of knowledge, character, or strength as a magician, he is impeccable. Compared with a prince, he is more like a king who conquered himself at a young age. The No.1 "Master Harvey" who dominates the apex of the school with a flawless image of genius , is worthy of being Tohsaka Rin's biggest opponent in life.

——At the same time, it is also the source of 80% of her resentment in life.

"Speaking of Miss Tohsaka, why do you and Miss Fumachi carry so many books with you? Could it be that books are used as the medium of summoning... In terms of efficiency, I think it would be better to choose a regular holy relic."

As if worrying about his opponent's fate from the bottom of his heart, Leo slightly raised his slender eyebrows.

Rin blushed: "Of, of course I know—"

"—but we have no money."

Gao Yue poked her head out from behind her, and was immediately hit back by an iron fist: "Shut up!"

"..."

However, it was too late, and Fu X Dai's sincere gaze full of sympathy pierced Rin's self-esteem deeply like a steel needle: "I see...well, there is nothing to do without money... If there is no money... "

"Why say it twice, you?!"

The author has something to say:

It is a realistic and cruel school that requires both grades and money... (sigh

PS: The ranking is a comprehensive indicator of the accumulation of exams, papers, magic power, magic level, actual combat, etc. The top ten are relatively all-round, and the lower the level, the more obvious the partiality.For example, the second master is very strong in the written test, but the ability (X) Dundun has a particularly high talent score, but the study (X) Akutagawa: vote for the contempt of cultural people

This year's FE guest guests, the protagonist Kishiba Hakuno (♀) should be familiar to everyone, if you don't, just search for the protagonist-Kishinami Hakuno and read two articles and you will know (...) By the way, this article will be introduced sparkle line.

Also, put a picture of Leo, he is not only rich, but also good-looking, not only good-looking, but also better than you in everything, in short, it is the kind of "hey, good chicken belly, but you still have to keep smiling" character is right (No
