Chapter 25 25 Goals!
Chapter 25 25. Target!
"Ah! Every day is so exciting."
Weber dragged out a long tail tone, washed up and came to the dining table and sighed.
The battle yesterday is still fresh in his memory. It was the first time he intervened at such a close distance.
Although he was just sitting in the mecha, he at least experienced the confrontation between the Heroic Spirits in person.
It was more exciting than he imagined.
The fighting power of the servants was much stronger than the magicians expected.
If he were in such an environment, he would not be able to survive for a second.
"Today, a female body was found in Fuyuki Square. She was shot several times. The specific identity of the deceased is still being confirmed."
"At the same time, a gas explosion occurred nearby."
"Please citizens"
The TV was broadcasting the news, and Weber looked at the blood on the screen in silence.
He knew what this news meant.
A master was killed yesterday
And he knew him.
It was not as simple as the news reported that there was only one dead person at the scene.
Kenneth, his mentor, was also one of the victims.
The teacher who was praised for his erudition and reputation also died yesterday.
The woman who was found was just the teacher's fiancée.
Looking back now, Waver still trembles and fears.
It would have been fine if no one had sacrificed before, but when the facts were laid out, especially when it was an acquaintance, he realized for the first time that death was so close to him.
This war for the pursuit of desires is so real.
If he is a little careless, he will become a resident of another world.
"Looks like he has a lot on his mind"
"Are you scared?"
Sitting on the sofa opposite, his own servant asked.
The other party's posture of crossing his legs, combined with the elegant posture of serving tea, really made it easy for Waver to feel an inexplicable sense of hierarchy.
"I just wonder what I came here for now."
Without a concealed attitude, Waver sighed and answered.
He was originally "humiliated" by his mentor Kenneth because of his paper. After learning that Kenneth would help his fiancée to participate in the Dragon Ball War, he came here out of anger after being selected.
Similar to the youthful arrogance of "You look down on me? Then I have to prove it to you!"
If he wins Kenneth in this war, wouldn't it prove that he is right?
Such thoughts are the reason why he came here in the first place.
He never considered the cause and effect at all.
Therefore, he will fall into the "trouble" of hindsight.
"Speaking of which, what is your wish? It seems that you haven't told me yet."
Talking about this, Lelouch glanced at the news reported on TV and then spoke.
"To be honest, I don't understand my wish myself."
With a depressed face, Waver really didn't know how to answer for a while.
Become the strongest "magician"?
Or become the "king" of the world?
Or get the so-called "wealth"?
These unrealistic things are too far away for him.
"Prove your talent?"
"Get recognition from others?"
"Become a reliable adult?"
But Lelouch's sudden words almost made him spit out the tea he had just drunk.
"This..."
He blushed and even wanted to refute subconsciously, but he couldn't say anything after opening his mouth for a long time.
"Why do you know so much?"
"Is this also the emperor's mind?"
After a long time, Waver said helplessly after sorting out his excited emotions.
"Well, although I have only been in contact with you for a short time, your nature is still easy to understand."
"That's why I can trust you."
Putting down the cup, crossing his hands at his chin, Lelouch responded with a chuckle.
"You have always wanted to prove it to that magician named Kenneth, right?"
"But now a teacher who is more powerful than you is in trouble, and you are still alive with inferiority complex, and you have self-doubt."
"After hearing the news of his death, I felt like a fool for being angry, and the passion mixed in before disappeared in an instant."
For the masters who participated in this war, the servants will also learn about it through different channels.
Compared with the initial misunderstanding, the current clarity is not a step to show the relationship between the two sides.
"You are right."
"Thinking carefully, there was a problem with the paper I submitted at the beginning, and I shouldn't say it so bluntly."
"Maybe he is also protecting me by "making things difficult."
This is the "slowness" that people often have, and they will only react once they lose it.
Leaning back on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling, Waver was even a little discouraged for a while.
"Losing the goal is so confusing and frustrating."
For young people in adolescence, this is a blow that will be experienced sooner or later.
"On the contrary, Rider, you are much better than me."
"You became the emperor at such a young age."
"Your wish is really too great compared to mine."
It was a great honor for Waver to summon the "Emperor" of Britain.
"Even though I am the emperor, I am still a human being."
"If I am a human being, I will have troubles. There is no difference between you and me in this respect."
"Once upon a time, I was just an ordinary student."
Knowing that the other party had lost the target he was pursuing, Lelouch then educated him.
"If you feel that you have nothing to pursue at the moment, why not stop and look around."
"Observe from others, and then ask yourself what your dream is."
"At least during this war, I still have the power to protect you."
Waver was inexplicably moved with a sense of power.
His mood, which had fallen to the bottom, suddenly improved.
…………
"Hmm"
Matou Kariya walked to the street and glanced at a cordoned intersection.
That was the area where the servants fought yesterday.
The church has blocked it and is dealing with the aftermath.
"Berserker's power is very strong, but Sakura."
Kariya was able to learn about yesterday's situation through the news, but he was more worried about the little girl at home.
The sacrifice of the Master.
That was not a joke.
Even though Berserker had the ability to reach the sky, Sakura herself was too "fragile".
Once discovered by other masters and servants, they will inevitably fall into danger.
The best way is to hide all the time or end the war early.
The former is definitely not feasible, but the latter is possible.
"A golden servant that Berserker cannot take down in a short time."
"His master is Tohsaka Tokiomi."
"As long as Tokiomi is killed, Berserker will surely win easily."
A bold plan gradually came into his mind, and Matou Kariya walked woodenly on the street.
Even though he is not a master, he can also be useful to the other party.
In order to protect Sakura, he doesn't mind dirtying his hands.
Even if it will cause resentment from others, it is not a big deal.
