Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

"what happened?"

Despite asking that question, Miss Rin, with the determination of skipping class, walked with Lily to the rooftop where she had just been eating.

"Mitsuzuri went missing yesterday."

P.S.: a v28693583, it seems like you guys are the ones who watch videos 23333, high five! When Merlin was brought back, she still had a bit of ringworm and her fur hadn't fully grown back, but she's already on a vitamin and lecithin diet.

Chapter Seventy-Eight: Taking Notes

Chapter 78

"what?"

"After participating in the archery club's weekend practice, I didn't go home, and I didn't show up at school today either."

Lily spoke of this with a serious expression, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Where's the clue?"

Rin Tohsaka's expression froze, and she quickly pressed for details.

She still cared a lot about this one of her few close friends.

"The last student with her yesterday was Matou Shinji. According to a first-year student from the archery club, he happened to see Matou Shinji arguing with Ayako when he went to school yesterday to retrieve something he had left behind."

"I originally wanted to find out what was going on from that guy, but when I got to his class I found out that Shinji Matou was absent from class today without any reason, and even the teacher couldn't be contacted."

Rin frowned. She was already sensitive to the surname "Matou," and combined with Lily's words, she was almost certain that this matter was related to that guy.

Ordinary people have no power to resist a magician. Even if that guy is an ordinary person who can't even be considered half-baked, he comes from one of the three great magic families of Fuyuki. It would be too easy for him to target an ordinary person.

As soon as Shinji Matou was identified as a suspect, Rin remotely issued a search order to her familiars via her consciousness, instructing them to search for either Ayako Mizuki or Shinji Matou throughout the city.

Of course, the first place to check is the Matou family mansion. Rin Tohsaka will not be polite to this mansion that has fallen so low that it can't even set up a defensive barrier.

“I’m already looking… Lily, you should go back to class first. I’ll come back to you if I hear anything.”

The bell for class had already rung while Rin was speaking.

To be honest, they didn't have much awareness of participating in war, and they still considered themselves students. During the life-or-death ceremony, they still insisted on going to school and were never late or left early. They are truly the two most touching representatives of Japanese university students of the year.

"it is good."

Although Lily was still worried, she temporarily put aside her worries and went back to class after receiving a positive response from Rin Tohsaka.

“Saber.”

"Ok?"

As the teacher walked into the classroom, Miss Rin stretched out a slender finger and poked Pendragon, who was sitting on the windowsill reading a book.

"Could you help me take some class notes? I need to control my familiar with all my might to find Mitsui's whereabouts."

"..."

Putting the cart before the horse?

"Although it's fine, I still want to ask, why didn't you ask me to find someone instead of helping you take notes? You don't actually think that two familiars can outdo me, do you?"

Rin Tohsaka watched as Saber pushed up her glasses with a blank expression and suddenly found it somewhat amusing.

"Of course not. Even two hundred or twenty thousand familiars can't compare to you. No! That's not right. There's no comparison at all!"

Miss Rin first highly affirmed Pendragon's value, then suddenly changed the subject and asked her, "If I asked you to go find someone, would you be willing to go?"

"of course."

Pendragon replied matter-of-factly, "If you offer enough sweets, I can find them even if I'm a god."

"No."

Rin gave a decisive answer.

"Then I'll take notes."

The two communicated directly in their minds and did not disturb other students.

Pendragon sat on the windowsill, just like the other students, listening attentively to the teacher's lecture and taking notes.

"It's pretty simple."

The teacher's lecture slowly appeared on the blank magic book in front of Pendragon, while Rin Tohsaka's attention was entirely focused on the two familiars she had released the night before, using them as her eyes and ears to precisely filter through Ayako Mitsuri's face like a computer.

Unfortunately, there was no result by the time school ended.

Due to a student's disappearance, all club activities were suspended after school today, the library was closed, and announcements urged students without special circumstances to leave school and go home as soon as possible.

Lily, accompanied by the spirit-like Archer, waited outside Rin Tohsaka's classroom. The beautiful girl with her cool and elegant demeanor made the boys nearby reluctant to leave, and they unconsciously stopped and gathered in a crowd from a distance.

Even the boys in Rin's class stayed in the classroom, whispering and speculating about who this beauty, admired by almost all the boys in the school, was waiting for.

"..."

The reason Rin Tohsaka didn't notice the strange thing at the classroom door immediately was because she found it hard to accept after seeing the notes Pendragon had given her.

Wow...she actually did better than me!

It's one thing to possess magic and power far exceeding that of humans, but why would there be such an academically gifted Heroic Spirit? This guy must be from the future, right? A Heroic Spirit with such outstanding grades must have received compulsory education!

If Pendragon could sense Rin's thoughts, he would definitely scoff at them.

She not only completed nine years of compulsory education, but also graduated from high school and then from junior college with the prestigious status of a vocational school elite. With the fighting power of a college student, dealing with a few Japanese high school classes was a piece of cake for her.

After being shocked, Rin Tohsaka noticed the strange situation at the classroom door and immediately saw Lily resting with her eyes closed outside.

"Walk."

Rin patted Pendragon's thigh, which was draped over the windowsill, quickly packed her personal belongings into her handbag, walked up to Lily, took her hand, and quickly left the sight of the other students.

Lily's calm expression was instantly shattered by Rin Tohsaka's action. A cute blush quickly spread across her cheeks, and her holy green eyes darted around furtively, like a thief, watching the reactions of those around her.

Both boys and girls were stunned. One boy was so overwhelmed with emotion that he felt his worldview collapsing and he couldn't stand up and sat down on the ground.

It's still the place where Makoto fought. Rin has a special fondness for rooftops, and at this time of day, it's the only place where she won't run into students.

Once no one else was watching, Lily's expression quickly returned to normal. Rin Tohsaka released her hand and turned around to see Lily with a normal expression.

Unfortunately, there has been no news so far.

Rin Tohsaka, thinking about Ayako Mitsuzuri, sighed and indicated that she hadn't found anything on her end.

"I'm afraid we should prepare for the worst."

Archer's transformation from a spirit form to a physical form served as a chilling reminder of this reality to the two girls.

P.S.: A v28778100 downloaded Crossing Void, and the overwhelming feeling of "I'm broke, so I'll play this game" is just too much! 2333

Chapter Seventy-Nine: You're Such a Good Person

Chapter 79

"Of course you don't need to tell me that."

Rin Tohsaka rolled her eyes at the man in the red bodysuit and then said, "But I won't give up."

Where is your Saber?

Archer didn't seem to care about Rin's attitude at all, as if he had asked the question unintentionally.

After all, going out without a Servant is not just stupid, it's a mistake that even a novice like Lily wouldn't make, which makes people really suspicious.

"You didn't send her to look for someone, did you?"

"You seem to care a lot about Saber."

Miss Rin didn't answer directly. Instead, she grinned mischievously and looked Lily and Archer up and down.

In Rin's opinion, Saber and Lily must be the same person. Today's notes are solid proof, and it's enough to make your head spin.

"No, I just think that a Master who dares to flaunt himself in public without his Servant by his side is really stupid and should be extinct."

Archer seemed to be a seasoned veteran with a thick skin, completely unconcerned by Rin's teasing tone.

As students gradually left, the once bustling campus suddenly became very quiet. Except for a very few students who had something to do, everyone followed the instructions broadcast over the loudspeaker and left school to go home.

Rin Tohsaka and Lily had originally planned to leave the school, but as a mournful female voice echoed through the quiet campus, their expressions changed simultaneously.

Lily quickly ran towards the stairs, and after reaching the first floor, she headed in the general direction of the sound.

Rin followed closely behind.

Archer then transforms into a spirit form to protect his Master.

In the corridor across the schoolyard, a girl in a school uniform lay hunched over on the ground, surrounded by scattered books and documents.

"It seems he just fainted."

Lily, who had arrived earlier, had already done a general check on the student's physical condition. She turned around, looked at Rin who had also rushed over, and stated her conclusion.

Pendragon's gaze swept over the other person's fair legs. Unlike Lily and Rin, this student wasn't wearing black stockings; instead, her legs were completely exposed to the cold air...

"Could it be because it's frozen?"

Pendragon coldly remarked that, in Lily's and Archer's sight and perception, she had appeared suddenly, startling both of them.

"you……"

Archer's expression became quite interesting at that moment. Had this guy been here the whole time? What about all his previous taunts?

Are you mentally retarded?

Rin Tohsaka probably laughed at herself countless times in her heart, but she held back and didn't expose her, continuing to watch herself make a fool of herself.

Is she a demon?

However, Rin Tohsaka's attention was not on this at all, and she didn't even glance at the two Servants.

His expression instantly turned to utter astonishment as he looked at the classmate on the ground, saying incredulously, "How could she have just fainted? Can't you see that she's completely empty inside?"

"Empty?"

As a mediocre magician, Lily didn't even understand what Rin was saying.

"Magic, or to put it more extremely, vitality."

Rin Tohsaka knelt down in front of the girl and reached out to check on her.

My heart was beating very slowly, and my breathing was barely perceptible.

"There isn't enough blood at all."

Rin's jewel-like eyes gleamed with an inexplicable light, and she looked very angry.

“This child will die if left unattended.”

"will die?"

Lily's eyes widened, but her pupils shrank, and even her voice changed tone.

"Tohsaka, do you have a way to save her?"

Like Rin Tohsaka, Lily's first thought in this situation was to provide assistance.

"In this situation, the gems we have should be able to save us..."

Rin quickly pulled a gem from her skirt pocket and held it in her palm. Then she extended her left hand, which was clenched into a fist, and aimed it at the victim's chest, palm down.

The magic power, which had been almost completely restored, flowed through her body. Rin Tohsaka then directed it to her palm, beginning to guide the magic power that contained a strong life force.

"Hoo—!"

The victim's cardiopulmonary function, which was originally on the verge of collapse, was quickly restored to normal under Rin Tohsaka's magic healing, and he was able to start working again.

The stark contrast caused the girl who had fallen to the ground to cough violently, making her appear even more unwell. However, both Rin and Lily felt a slight sense of relief upon seeing this.

“It is a follower.”

Archer watched Rin help the injured, but instead of joining in, he cautiously observed his surroundings.

The red-clad knight's gaze swept around before settling on the grove of trees next to the teaching building.

That's a favorite spot for couples to meet, perfect for hiding and ambushing. If you're careless, you could easily suffer a loss.

"No need to look anymore. They've already left."
