Excluding the Main World, the Fate World was the third world Kisaragi Rin arrived in.
Apocalypse of Academy fused with Resident Evil, Demon Slayer where the trash demon king didn't hide in the shadows, and Fuyuki City of Fate without extraordinary individuals.
These worlds always had some deviations, not entirely consistent with the scenes in Kisaragi Rin's memory.
And the players were those who walked through such worlds, turning everything into resources.
In this battle, Medea only prepared one magic spell, Saber released her Noble Phantasm once, Lily was slacking on the side, and even Medusa, who was the only one exerting herself, only used some Black Flash and the power of her Mystic Eyes of Petrification.
As a result, Soichiro Kuzuki and his Servant, who came to hunt them down, were about to meet their end like this?
It was like mentally preparing to watch a horror movie, putting the disc into the DVD player, and after a burst of static, the TV showed Teletubbies.
Such a perfunctory battle, so perfunctory that it felt like a tiger's head with a snake's tail.
"You don't need to be that strong, but at least don't die from this magic spell; get up and fight another three hundred rounds."
Kisaragi Rin stared at Soichiro Kuzuki beneath the magic, waiting for the result to appear.
When the thunder dragon's special effects disappeared, Homurahara no longer looked like a school.
If Saber's Excalibur created deep, crack-like depressions in the ground, then Medea's magic attack completely erased the ground.
Unidentifiable black ash drifted with the wind, emitting a scorched odor.
And Soichiro Kuzuki, standing directly in the center of the attack, still maintained his calm expression.
Steam was still rising from his body, but that was all; even the square-framed glasses on his nose bridge hadn't melted.
"How is this possible!"
Lily was greatly alarmed; she truly believed that magic spell could kill Soichiro Kuzuki.
"It's just a magic spell..." Soichiro Kuzuki said calmly to Kisaragi.
Unexpectedly, Kisaragi Rin scoffed, looking at the two Command Spells on the back of Soichiro Kuzuki's hand, and asked in confusion, "No, are all you players taught by the same training class?"
Soichiro Kuzuki didn't understand Kisaragi's meaning and stood still without responding, while Yukinoshita Yukino, as an eyewitness, reacted and asked, "This guy isn't the player's main body either?"
"Not the main body?" Lily asked curiously, and the other Servants also looked over.
Before the battle even began, Medea had already carefully observed Soichiro Kuzuki with her eyes and found nothing amiss.
Hearing Yukinoshita Yukino's words, Medea once again cast her gaze down, but ultimately shook her head at everyone, indicating that she couldn't see anything.
However, the attitudes of the two Steve Rogers had already proven this point; false smiles hung on their faces, and their eyes were filled with malice.
Soichiro Kuzuki sighed and took off the square-framed glasses he had long disliked.
The glasses turned into flesh and merged into his body, and with Soichiro Kuzuki's face, Steve's hearty voice came out: "How did you find out?"
"Hmm... regarding that..." Kisaragi Rin said with an apologetic expression, "I just wanted to test it out, and it turns out Captain is so honest."
In Kisaragi Rin's hypothesis, Soichiro Kuzuki would not die from a single magic spell, nor should he be unharmed by such an attack.
According to Soichiro Kuzuki's brief skirmish with Kisaragi, even if his attributes hadn't been suppressed by Medea's magic, he shouldn't have completely blocked it, let alone in his current suppressed state.
How could Soichiro Kuzuki be completely unharmed by this magic attack?
By relying on some kind of equipment item?
Was the vanished Command Spell on the back of Soichiro Kuzuki's hand some kind of equipment item sufficient for self-preservation?
It sounded reasonable, but looking at the remaining two Command Spells on the back of his hand, Kisaragi Rin instead recalled Sugo Nobuyuki, whom Yukinoshita Yukino had mentioned.
Moreover, among the legendary deeds of Hydra, there were legends concerning disguise.
After all, it was the well-known "Snake Shield Bureau."
After Germany's defeat, Hydra, which should have been annihilated, had long since gone into hiding, freely stretching its serpentine body under the banner forged by the victors.
If Soichiro Kuzuki's identity was seen as Steve Rogers' disguise, then everything he did became more reasonable.
His battle with Kisaragi Rin wasn't that he didn't want to truly fight, but that his own attributes were forcibly altered by the inherent Skill - Fifty-Fifty, and he couldn't expose his Noble Phantasm, so he could only fight Kisaragi in a fifty-fifty manner.
That's why Kisaragi didn't feel any pressure from this "Soichiro Kuzuki."
"Cut off one head, and two more shall take its place."
This divinity of Hydra never meant literally growing two heads.
Although it was a guess that Soichiro Kuzuki might have just used some equipment item, there was no cost in testing it out, right?
Hearing Kisaragi Rin's answer, Soichiro Kuzuki sighed and said, "Honestly, can't you just make up a serious reason? If you say that, it's completely my mistake, and something might happen when I go back."
"In that case, don't go back."
Kisaragi Rin made the suggestion, and Saber, Medusa, and Medea beside him simultaneously unleashed their brewing attacks on the three Hydra Captains.
There is always a reason for what is done.
Since the real player placed a Servant, Steve Rogers, here, then there must be a plan he wants to complete here.
He hadn't made any further moves until now, perhaps because his preparations weren't complete.
In this situation, Kisaragi Rin preferred to prioritize killing Steve Rogers.
Suppressed by magic and with their identities exposed, the three Steve Rogers were weaker than ever before.
"Do you know?" × 3
Steve Rogers' malicious voices rang out in unison; they closed their eyes, trying to minimize the effect of Medusa's Mystic Eyes of Petrification.
"When I disguised myself as a Master and picked up a history book in the classroom."
"You just appeared before us."
"The death trap has already been set..."
Saber's sword struck down Steve Rogers' shield, and Medusa's Mystic Eyes of Petrification had already unleashed a petrifying curse on one of them.
One had his shield struck down by Saber's sword, one had his neck gripped by Medea's lightning, and one's face had already begun to petrify.
"It's a pity that useless fellow suddenly disappeared for a while."
"But it doesn't matter; it's just a delay for a moment."
"After all, he reappeared not long ago, and he should be arriving about now."
Medea sensed something; just as she was about to use spatial transfer to take Kisaragi Rin away, her outstretched hand stopped in mid-air.
Not just her, Lily's mouth was slightly agape, holding her Noble Phantasm, constantly waiting for the moment she would be needed.
Yukinoshita Yukino looked around, searching for any potential enemy players.
Saber remained suspended in the air, Victory and Oath Sword cutting off Steve Rogers' arm, blood droplets congealing in the air.
Malice was hidden in Steve Rogers' eyes, and the petrification on his face had already stopped.
