“Hey, hey.
Are you deliberately dressed like that, or is that just how you normally look?”
At this moment, a blue-haired Servant dressed in blue was questioning the person beside him in Chaldea.
This was none other than Caster Cú Chulainn, whom Gudako had summoned.
Right now, he had one arm casually draped over Ren Kurose’s shoulder as he asked the question.
Ever since Ren Kurose manifested as a Servant, he had maintained the appearance he possessed before his transmigration.
His clothes had likewise been manifested through spiritual energy in a modern style.
That was why Cú Chulainn found his appearance somewhat strange.
“This is how I normally dress, of course.”
“You’ve always dressed like this?
Then…
don’t tell me you’re a Heroic Spirit from the modern era?”
Cú Chulainn looked Ren Kurose up and down.
Ren Kurose didn’t mind and replied with a smile.
“Why not?
We’ve even got a Heroic Spirit from the future here.
There’s nothing strange about having one from the modern era.”
The “Heroic Spirit from the future” he was referring to was naturally Shirou Emiya.
Considering that the current year was 2016, the point at which Shirou Emiya became a Counter Guardian should probably still lie in the future.
After all, Shirou Emiya should only be around thirty years old at this point.
It shouldn’t be early enough for him to have already become a Counter Guardian.
Incidentally, Rin Tohsaka and Luvia should also be around thirty years old by this time.
“That’s true.”
Cú Chulainn thought about it and found that Ren Kurose had a point.
So he didn’t dwell on the matter.
While Cú Chulainn was questioning Ren Kurose, Ren Kurose was also observing him.
In Singularity F, the Caster-class Cú Chulainn wasn’t merely Cú Chulainn himself, but rather someone possessed by the Norse God-King Odin.
However, as for this Cú Chulainn in Chaldea…
Ren Kurose honestly couldn’t sense any especially powerful divine aura from him.
So this one really did seem to be nothing more than Cú Chulainn himself in the Caster Class.
Ever since Gudako summoned him, Cú Chulainn had been in a rather good mood.
There were cute, little-sister-type Servants around him, and even his Master was a young woman.
His personality had always been somewhat roguish, so he frequently went around flirting.
However…
Gudako often mentioned Ren Kurose.
After all, Ren Kurose was the first Servant she believed she had summoned, so he naturally held a special place in her mind.
For some reason, that left Cú Chulainn feeling a little annoyed.
He had always been a straightforward person.
Part of the reason he had come over today was because he wanted to see just how strong Ren Kurose actually was.
Servants existed to fight in the first place.
Since they now served the same Master, there was obviously no reason for them to fight to the death.
But there was nothing wrong with a friendly spar.
Besides, Caster Cú Chulainn currently had another task— teaching Gudako magecraft.
Since the opportunity had presented itself, Cú Chulainn decided he might as well test Ren Kurose too.
However, after hearing that Ren Kurose was supposedly a Heroic Spirit from the modern era, his interest dropped considerably.
After all, the closer one got to the modern age, the weaker Mystery became.
Of course, that didn’t mean the strength of every Heroic Spirit was determined that way.
Still, one general rule held reasonably true— the more ancient a Heroic Spirit was, the less likely they were to be simple.
That didn’t mean later Heroic Spirits couldn’t be powerful.
After all, Cú Chulainn had already fought Shirou Emiya in the Singularity, and that guy had been quite strong.
There was another point as well.
Compared with ancient Heroic Spirits like themselves, modern Heroic Spirits might lean more toward scientific and technological achievements because of their lower Mystery.
There was even someone as absurd as Tesla in that category.
Unfortunately, Cú Chulainn hadn’t encountered him yet.
Perhaps they had met somewhere on the Throne of Heroes, but he possessed no memories of it.
“The Master is currently learning magecraft from me.
Want to come give it a try?”
Cú Chulainn invited Ren Kurose.
And honestly, Ren Kurose was rather interested.
The main reason was simple.
Ever since transmigrating and becoming Yomagn’tho, he had never actually fought anyone.
Yomagn’tho possessed such terrifying power, yet Ren Kurose had never used it in combat.
Devouring stars didn’t count.
Moreover, he was currently operating through a Servant body, and Ren Kurose had no idea just how much of his power he could actually wield in this form.
So he didn’t think too much about it before immediately agreeing.
“Sure.
Let’s give it a try.”
“Huh?
Ren Kurose is going to fight Cú Chulainn?”
The moment Gudako heard that Cú Chulainn wanted to spar with Ren Kurose, she immediately became curious. Follow the newest chapters on novelping.com.
“In that case, I want to watch too!
Da Vinci never taught me what kind of Class Foreigner is.
I wonder if it’s strong!”
At the same time, she became visibly excited.
Battles between Servants were incredibly intense.
Although she had already witnessed them during Singularity F, seeing another one was still enough to get her excited.
Mash felt the same way.
As someone who was still only a half-trained Servant, Mash hoped she could learn a great deal from watching this battle.
Naturally, both of them were looking forward to it.
Cú Chulainn’s true identity was the great demigod hero of Celtic mythology from Ulster— the Child of Light, Cú Chulainn.
However, throughout several Holy Grail Wars, he had more often appeared as a Lancer, which was also the Class he personally preferred.
Unfortunately, he simply couldn’t escape the curse of Lancer Luck E.
Of course, that was only a joke.
Chaldea had plenty of Lancers with B-rank Luck, and a certain Grand Lancer even possessed EX-rank Luck.
But when it came to being this miserably unlucky…
Cú Chulainn was still one of a kind.
He even had it rough in Carnival Phantasm.
Inside Chaldea’s combat training room, Cú Chulainn and Ren Kurose stood facing one another.
Cú Chulainn had already taken out his staff.
He slowly spoke.
“I don’t know anything about the Foreigner Class either.
It really is a mysterious Class.”
“Aren’t you going to take out your weapon?”
Ren Kurose waved his hand dismissively.
“I don’t have one.
I’m not used to using weapons.”
In truth…
this was actually Ren Kurose’s first real fight.
Before transmigrating, he had gotten into a few physical altercations before.
But compared with an actual battle, those scuffles were far too low-level to count.
And after transmigrating and becoming Yomagn’tho Ren Kurose, he had never encountered an actual enemy.
Ordinary people would mentally collapse simply from seeing Yomagn’tho.
So— this truly was Ren Kurose’s first battle.
