Fate: Question And Answer System of Traversing Heroic Spirits

[Ding! The time for answering questions is over.]

[Video continues.]

["I'm sorry, but considering your privilege, I won't hold back."]

[Karna directly releases his magical energy, and the pink flames cover the spear in his hand.]

["Let me use this final blow to decide the outcome."]

[Just when Karna was about to make his move, something strange happened.]

["Go ahead, Saber!"]

[Gordes appeared at some point and ordered his Servant Siegfried to attack.]

[Siegfried quickly advanced from behind Karna and slashed with his sword, but Karna turned around just in time to block it.]

[The two warriors clashed, but neither side managed to inflict damage, save for a nearby road sign that toppled from their collision.]

[Karna: "Are you the Saber of the Black side?"]

["Yes."]

[Siegfried nodded.]

[Karna: "Your target is also Ruler?"]

[Faced with the question, Siegfried remained silent.]

[Video paused.]

[The correct answer to this question is D.]

[Congratulations to Waver, Chihiro, Gilgamesh, Kayneth, Artoria, Diarmuid, Emiya Kiritsugu, Tohsaka Tokiomi, Kotomine Kirei, Matou Kariya, Tohsaka Rin, Tohsaka Sakura, Irisviel, Zhang Jiao, El-Melloi II, Achilles, Ishtar, Sola-ui, First Emperor, Illya, Fiore, Darnic, Chiron, and Vlad III for obtaining 3 Saint Quartz and advancing to the next round.]

[Other group members will lose 1 Saint Quartz if they answered incorrectly.]

Achilles: "This is really unexpected."

Sisigou: "How did the Black side end up there?"

Gordes: "This..."

Gordes subconsciously glanced at Darnic.

His presence there certainly appeared to benefit Darnic.

"Perhaps he received some intelligence."

Darnic was puzzled himself but ultimately reached this conclusion.

Roche: "But how come you older group members got almost all the answers correct?"

Tohsaka Rin: "Because we've already seen the patterns in these questions."

Sisigou: "Is that what you call experience?"

[Video continues.]

["It was a close call, Saber."]

[Gordes walked up to Jeanne and said, "Ruler, I'm here to greet you."]

[Because he was too out of shape, he was gasping for air after running only a short distance.]

[Jeanne: "The Black Saber and his Master?"]

["That's right, my name is Gordes Musik Yggdmillennia, so…"]

[Gordes pointed at Karna and declared righteously, "Red Lancer, we've already witnessed you trying to kill Ruler."]

["Attempting to eliminate the Servant presiding over the Holy Grail War is an extreme violation!"]

["I don't deny it."]

[Karna said calmly: "Of course, since the Black Servant has appeared, let's start with you."]

[Gordes: "Silence! Accept your punishment from my Saber and Ruler."]

[Jeanne stated: "No. If you want to fight here, I have no objections, but I will not intervene. Rest assured."]

[Gordes: "...What!!!"]

[Jeanne: "The Red Lancer covets my life, but the battle between the Black Saber and the Red Lancer is completely separate."]

["As a Ruler, I must abide by the rules."]

Gordes: "..."

Tohsaka Rin: "Was it all in vain?"

First Emperor: "This woman is correct. As Ruler, she cannot directly involve herself in the Holy Grail War."

[Karna: "Two against one? I don't mind."]

["Saber, kill him!"]

[Seeing Karna so nonchalant, Gordes shouted angrily.]

[Jeanne stepped aside, making her stance clear.]

["Really? Looks like it's just the two of us now."]

[Karna looked at Siegfried and said, "I once met a man with eyes very similar to yours. That man was undoubtedly a hero. If you look at me with those eyes, this battle between us isn't accidental—it's fate."]

[Karna once again released his magical energy, this time engulfing his entire body in flames.]

["My name is Karna, son of the sun god. If you're not afraid of my spear, then come at me."]

["The Dragon-Slaying Knight of the Netherlands, Siegfried is here."]

[Siegfried finally spoke, revealing his name.]

[The two Servants clashed, causing a massive explosion upon their collision.]

[Video paused.]

[Question: What will be the outcome of this battle?]

[A: Siegfried wins.]

[B: Karna wins.]

[C: Both sides are tied.]

[D: A third party intervenes, and the battle is terminated.]

Kayneth: "The same question twice in a row."

Waver: "This one is even harder to judge."

Sola-ui: "There shouldn't be a third-party interruption this time. Karna should win."

Waver: "Indeed, Karna is stronger than Siegfried."

Iskandar: "Yes, it's clear."

Waver: "You said the same thing last time, and we got it wrong."

Iskandar: "Details, details."

Tohsaka Rin: "Chihiro, which answer do you think is correct for this question?"

Chihiro: "Choose C."

Tohsaka Rin: "Why?"

Chihiro: "Because this is only the first encounter. Neither side will go all out."

Tohsaka Rin: "That makes sense."

[Ding! The time for answering questions is over.]

[Video continues.]

[The battle between Siegfried and Karna was intense. The two fought from the highway to the wilderness, destroying boulders and lighting up the sky with flashes of light as they clashed.]

[Their duel continued from dusk until dawn.]

[Blows exchanged—sword versus spear—on the ground and in the air.]

[But as Karna's flames surged, Siegfried was ultimately knocked to the ground from midair.]

[The battle seemed to reach its conclusion.]

["Your spear can pierce my dragon armor. I deeply respect your skills, your legend, and your pain."]

[As the dust settled, Siegfried touched the wound on his face and spoke earnestly.]

Siegfried: "Impressive, Karna. I imagine you haven't even used your full strength yet."

Karna: "You are commendable as well."

Tohsaka Rin: "This level of power… It's incredible."

Gilgamesh: "Hmph. Barely passable for mongrels."

Sisigou: "Looks like the fight's decided."

Chihiro: "As expected of Karna. Even his normal attacks are at an A rank."

["Please assist us! That Karna is also your enemy."]

[Seeing that Siegfried was at a disadvantage, Gordes quickly turned to Jeanne for help.]

[Jeanne: "As I've already said, I cannot interfere in their battle."]

["Tch…"]

[Seeing Jeanne refuse to act, Gordes yelled angrily at the surrounding area: "Come out, Masters of the Red Team!"]

["You lackeys of the Mage's Association, I'll take you on myself!"]

[But no one responded.]

["Damn it, damn it, I'm the Master…"]

Gordes: "Damn..."

Gordes grew increasingly frustrated watching his video counterpart.

"She wouldn't even lend a hand after we risked ourselves to save her? Even if she's impartial, she could at least say something encouraging!"

["Is this the end?"]

[The scene shifts to the church, where Kotomine Shiro watches the sun rise and mutters.]

[Back on the battlefield, Karna looks up at the now fully risen sun.]

["Let's call this battle a draw."]

["Of course, if you wish to continue, I don't mind—but it seems your Master has had enough."]

[Siegfried glanced at Gordes, then lowered his sword.]

["Next time, I hope we can fight to our hearts' content."]

[Karna: "Agreed, Saber of the Black side. It's been a privilege to face you in battle."]

[Jeanne: "Wait, Lancer of the Red Team!"]

[She wanted to question Karna about his reasons for targeting her.]

[Karna, however, ignored her, dissolving into spiritual form and disappearing.]
