Fate: Question And Answer System of Traversing Heroic Spirits

In reality, Chihiro knew the Heroic Spirit depicted in the picture, but as he mentioned, it lacked any clear defining features—so how was he supposed to explain it?

Better to keep it to himself.

[C: A man with bronze skin, a white scorpion braid, a red and white robe, and ten gold rings on his hands. He emanates a strange sense of majesty.]

"Pu—!"

Chihiro nearly choked on his saliva.

The system was seriously good at pulling surprises. It had actually revealed this big figure.

Still, judging by the look of his face and the background, he shouldn't be a Beast.

Tohsaka Rin: "Who is this? He looks really impressive."

Kayneth: "He's wearing ten rings. No way, it can't be!"

Sisigou: "Ah, that guy... no wonder he has such an imposing aura."

[D: A familiar face appears—Elizabeth Bathory. However, in the image, she is dressed as a little devil, holding an orange trident.]

Tohsaka Rin: "This is Elizabeth, isn't it? But this outfit..."

Waver: "It's likely similar to how Artoria transformed into an Archer. Her spiritual core and appearance have shifted."

Illya: "This is a Halloween costume! It's so cute! I want to dress like this next time."

Irisviel: "Sure, Illya, I'll make one for you."

Tohsaka Rin: "Elizabeth dressed for Halloween. Even though she's holding a trident, she's probably not a Lancer."

[The question-answering session begins now.]

Waver: "Ugh, another set of confusing pictures."

These four pictures were a challenge. Except for Elizabeth, the others all had clear "Caster" vibes, making it difficult to decide.

Chihiro: "Choose C and D."

Iskandar: "C and D? Are you saying Elizabeth is also a Caster?"

Artoria: "Aren't the first two also Casters? They look the part."

Chihiro: "A is clearly Pope Joan. There's nothing in her legend related to magic, so her class should be judged by her role."

Artoria: "I see. As the leader of the Church, the Pope must be fair and pious. Her class would naturally be Ruler."

Iskandar: "Ah, is that so?"

Chihiro: "C is very obvious. The one wearing the ten rings is none other than the legendary Magic King Solomon."

Iskandar: "Solomon? The king who established Jerusalem as a holy city?"

Iskandar: "If it's Solomon, then his class has to be Caster. His magical prowess is widely known."

Chihiro: "As for B and D, I just guessed based on experience. If you're unsure, feel free to decide for yourselves."

Iskandar: "Hahaha, it's fine. You've always had good luck. I'll go with your choices."

[Time is up. The quiz has ended.]

[Now, let's reveal the answers.]

[A: Popess Johanna, Class: Ruler.]

[The successor of Pope Leo IV during the mid-ninth century. Known as the first female pope in history, though she was actually a fictional figure created around the thirteenth century. She has been featured in various novels and movies, and many believed she existed until the myth was debunked in the 19th century.]

Kotomine Risei: "Yes, it's indeed her."

Kotomine Kirei: "Her class was easy to judge. No surprises here."

In this multiple-choice question, options A and C were straightforward, but options B and D were trickier.

[B: Taisui Xingjun, Class: Alterego.]

[Tai Sui is the directional deity associated with the twelve earthly branches where Jupiter resides. Also regarded as the spirit of an imaginary celestial body mirroring Jupiter, Tai Sui was further deified as Yin Jiao, the son of King Zhou, after his apotheosis.]

[According to legends, Tai Sui is often associated with a mysterious piece of underground flesh believed to bring calamity. Its ghostly nature also ties it to misfortune.]

Waver: "Tai Sui? I've heard a few myths about him."

Chihiro: "The most common one I've heard is that eating Tai Sui flesh can extend your lifespan."

Artoria: "Really? The introduction also mentioned it brings calamities."

Chihiro: "Tai Sui, also known as Lingzhi, is actually a type of medicinal fungus. It looks like a giant lump of flesh. Because of its rarity, it's incredibly valuable."

Chihiro: "In ancient times, people believed eating Tai Sui could grant immortality. As a result, whenever it appeared, bloody conflicts would follow. That's the so-called disaster."

Waver: "I see. It's human greed causing the chaos."

Kayneth: "Hah, is that really what you're focusing on?"

Kayneth: "But Alterego? How is there suddenly another new class?"

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Doesn't Alterego mean 'another self' split from the original self?"

Sisigou: "I didn't expect that this deity would fall under such a category."

[C: Solomon, Class: Caster.]

[The third king of ancient Israel, known as the King of Magecraft. He commanded the seventy-two demons and ushered in Israel's golden age. With ten divine rings, he wielded omniscience and omnipotence, making him the Grand Caster.]

Waver: "Another Grand!"

Sisigou: "I'm not surprised about Solomon's identity or class, but I didn't expect him to be a Grand."

Tohsaka Tokiomi: "This just further emphasizes his unparalleled magical ability."

Kayneth: "He's the legendary Magic King, after all."

Chihiro silently thought, "I hope their worldview doesn't crumble when they meet Dr. Roman someday."

[D: Elizabeth Bathory [Halloween], Class: Caster.]

[The infamous Blood Countess, whose legend inspired the vampire Carmilla. Her "Innocent Monster" skill transformed her into a demon, and she gained Halloween attributes due to a Holy Grail she stumbled upon. Obsessed with idol culture, she developed the persona of a castle-dwelling little princess. Her numerous attributes make her a very unusual Servant.]

Achilles: "Wait, am I seeing this correctly?"

Achilles: "The introduction says she picked up a Holy Grail!"

Tohsaka Rin: "Why are you surprised? We've known this for a while."

As explained in last year's quiz, Elizabeth seems to find a Holy Grail every year.

Achilles: "..."

Hold on. Let me process this.

Was he out of the loop? Apparently, casually picking up Holy Grails was normal.

Even Amakusa Shirou and Semiramis seemed baffled.

[The correct answers are C and D.]

[Congratulations to Chihiro, Gilgamesh, Artoria, Iskandar, Diarmuid, Hassan of the Hundred Faces, and the First Emperor for correctly selecting the answers and earning 5 Saint Quartz each.]

Most others failed with B and D.

Taisui Xingjun, who looked like a Caster, was actually Alterego, while Elizabeth, who didn't resemble a Caster, turned out to be one.

[For this quiz, Chihiro had the highest success rate, followed by Kotomine Kirei. In third place were Gilgamesh, Artoria, Iskandar, Diarmuid, and Hassan of the Hundred Faces. They received gold, silver, and bronze treasure chests respectively.]

[Today's quiz session ends here. It will resume tomorrow.]

Amakusa Shirou stared at the silver treasure chest in his hand, feeling far from satisfied.

His mind was fixated on how to seize the Holy Grail from Chihiro.

Moreover, today's first prize went to Chihiro, giving him yet another trump card.

"Father, what should we do next?"

Achilles asked Amakusa Shirou now that the quiz had ended.

If the Holy Grail stayed in Chihiro's possession, he could leave this world at any moment.

And once the Holy Grail was gone, the Holy Grail War would essentially be over.

After all, there would be no point in continuing without the central prize.

"Don't act rashly just yet," Amakusa Shirou said calmly.

"From the information you've gathered, Chihiro's ability to traverse worlds doesn't rely on magic, it's tied to that vehicle-like artifact of his."

"Lancer, Rider, Archer—monitor the main roads in this town. Don't let him leave during the day."

"I see, you want to limit his movements?"

Achilles frowned. "But what if he just drives around town?"

"That's unlikely, at least during the day," Amakusa Shirou replied confidently.

"Based on my observations, Chihiro is an orderly person. Right now, he doesn't have enough reason to break the secrecy laws. Of course, we mustn't push him too hard. Just observe discreetly."

Atalanta: "But at night, if he tries to leave, we won't be able to stop him. He has four kings with him."

Amakusa Shirou: "I understand. That's why we don't have much time."

"Tonight, we'll launch an operation to seize the Holy Grail."

Achilles: "Well, if we've come this far, we might as well try."

Amakusa Shirou: "I'm counting on all of you."

Atalanta and Achilles immediately disappeared in spirit form. Karna, however, remained behind.

Amakusa Shirou: "What's wrong?"

Karna: "...My Master. Is he safe?"

Amakusa Shirou: "Don't worry. He'll leave safely once the Holy Grail War ends."

Hearing this, Karna said nothing more and also vanished in spirit form.

Semiramis smirked. "So, what's your plan tonight?"

Amakusa Shirou gave a faint smile. "There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests."

A/N: (Regarding the issue of the video being too long, you are absolutely right, it is indeed too lengthy. I sincerely apologize for this oversight and will make sure to address it moving forward. In the future, I will limit the footage to just a few frames to maintain brevity and clarity.)

T/N: Even he has realized his wrong, so we're good to go.
