Yagi Xuezai smiled and responded very definitely, almost categorically.
Mordred's eyes widened and he was stunned, looking at him blankly. A trace of anger rose from his eyebrows and quickly spread to his entire facial expression.
Although she said this herself, being given such a positive reply by Yagi Xuezai still made her very unhappy.
"The Mordred I know is not someone who shows weakness."
"Well, that's of course! I'm not afraid! Hey, I have to go to a duel with my father to prove it to you!"
Seemingly interpreting Yagi Yukisai's words as a way to provoke the general, Mordred's face turned red with a reluctance to admit defeat, and his eyes widened. This kind of mentally immature person is most likely to have conflicts of temper, and will be angry for a while.
But just do things based on impulse.
Yagi Xuezhai quickly stopped her: "Wait, there's no point even if you go."
"Why, do you want to say that I can't beat my father?!"
Mordred gave him a gouge look.
"No, no, I don't dare. Let's think about it carefully. We are all servants. Even if you really beat her, it just means that you, as a servant, won. Chaldea's servant
You should have noticed, right? Our strength is not at the original level at all. Servants are too restricted by magic power."
Yagi's words made Mordred calm down a little.
Indeed.
If you really fight the Black King, even if you win, it doesn't count as showing off. There's nothing to be proud of.
As Yagi said, this is just because as a Servant, the Artoria alter summoned by Chaldea is not as good as the Mordred summoned by Emperor Nero with the Holy Grail. It does not mean that Mordred beat Artoria.
.
And, most importantly, Mordred himself knew that becoming a king required more than just force.
Her wish is not to kill King Arthur, nor to have King Arthur recognize her. Instead, she hopes to use the power of the Holy Grail to return to the day when King Arthur pulled out the Sword of the King, and then challenge the Sword of the King.
Mordred is confident that he is worthy enough to be called a king.
Then, there is no reason why I can't pull it out.
She never considered the possibility that she would not be able to draw her sword.
Martial arts are only part of being a king.
To be honest, among the Knights of the Round Table, there are knights who are better than King Arthur in swordsmanship. Among other things, Lancelot only has swordsmanship to mention. And Gawain, that guy who is always annoying,
If it were during the day, King Arthur might not be able to defeat him.
Of course, the premise is [no liberating the Noble Phantasm], just a competition of martial arts.
It's not like whoever is the most powerful can be the king.
"Tsk..."
Once he understood this, the anger in Mordred's heart was somewhat suppressed, followed by a feeling of depression. He was provoked by the King of Darkness, but in the end he was unable to respond to the provocation properly. The more he thought about it,
Getting more angry.
Sure enough, the best way to prove that you are better than King Arthur is to teach Yagi Yukisai.
What Arthur failed to do, he did.
The man Arthur didn't educate well, he taught well himself.
Doesn’t this mean that I am better than her?
and……
Altria's attitude... how should I put it... also made Mordred feel a little [boring].
If it was Artoria before, King Arthur, who was still alive during the Knights of the Round Table, had an indifferent attitude towards her. Although he acknowledged the existence of Mordred as a knight, he would only use the minimum method to communicate orders with her.
But the Black King just now had no such meaning in his eyes.
It was a feeling of treating everyone equally.
She regards everyone except herself as "trash".
Part of Mordred's "unfair" evaluation of King Arthur comes from this. King Arthur obviously cares more about other Knights of the Round Table, but he is only indifferent to himself. And this Black King is very indifferent to everyone
of……
In a sense, this is also a kind of [fairness]. It makes Mordred feel bored and uninterested in the idea of having to win her to win.
"It's true...you, you can say nice things sometimes."
Although Mordred stopped the immature approach of looking for the Black King to vent his anger, he was still angry and vented his anger on Yagi Yukisai.
"I've always thought I was good at talking."
"A smooth-tongued guy."
Mordred snorted coldly.
"I seem to have regained my energy. Please give me your guidance today. You said you would train me to be the third best knight in the world. You can't break your promise."
Seeing that her mood had improved a lot, Yagi Xuezai felt relieved and joked.
"Huh? Who do you think I am? Of course..."
"Of course I thought you were the unparalleled Knight of the Round Table, the legitimate heir of King Arthur, and the great man who would become the next king of Britain!"
Yagi Xuezai didn't wait for Mordred to finish speaking, and took over the conversation. Mordred, who didn't expect to be interrupted at this place, was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with wide eyes, with disbelief.
expression.
"You... think so? - I won't be deceived by you. You guys can actually choose nice things to say!"
Mordred waved his arms vigorously and slapped Yagi Xuezai's broad back. Although his words were denying Yagi Xuezai's flattery, the happiness overflowing in his tone could not be deceived.
She is very happy.
do not know why.
Being praised by Yagi Xuezai gave me a... yes, a very special feeling of excitement.
No wonder.
Although he is from another world, Yagi Sekisai's fused servant is King Arthur. His spiritual base mode is very similar. He is a person who is infinitely close to the father that Mordred knew.
Being praised by Yagi Yusei, subconsciously, I always feel that I am recognized by King Arthur (male). I feel a sincere feeling of happiness.
"Well, then please remember me from now on."
"what?"
"When it is proved that Lord Mordred is better than King Arthur, I can proudly say that I am the one who has witnessed Mordred's great achievements."
"Tsk...it's a bit disgusting to only be able to say nice things. You guy, your flattery is too obvious."
Mordred raised the corners of his eyes, opened his mouth, and showed a disdainful expression. However, the expression on his face relaxed a lot, and he couldn't hide the joy and excitement, so he could only write it on his face with words. In order to cover up his shyness
, she slapped Yagi's back harder.
"In short, Mordred is a very good knight, I know this very well. I hope you can work hard and train me to be the third best knight in the world!"
"Humph, you don't need to ask me to do it. Be prepared, you guy. Don't hold me back."
Mordred stretched out, as if to expel the anger in her chest with the movement of stretching her arms. Then, she bumped Yagi's side with her elbow, with a familiar feeling.
"Speaking of which, I just noticed - the one you are carrying on your back is whose sword, right? That...who is it? The black Saber."
Mordred rubbed his hair, unable to remember Siegfried's name.
Yagi Xuezhai reminded her.
"Ah, yes, it's Siegfried. Why is that sword here with you?"
"This is a long story. In short, it is [my Noble Phantasm] for the time being."
"Oh, that's it—then let's practice the liberation of the Noble Phantasm today! Take a walk and go to an open place."
