One of the words El-Melloi II praised Kenneth was absolutely correct.
His talent is indeed the treasure of the Clock Tower, and he is the leader among magicians.
Especially since he is still so young. With time, it is not impossible to join the first-class magician industry and even become a top magician.
He is that kind of typical [academic] magician.
Although the thinking is a bit naive, the theoretical knowledge is really rich.
Just like what everyone always says about high scores and low abilities, regardless of their abilities, at least this score is really high.
The same goes for Kenneth. His original intention in participating in the Holy Grail War was to express his magic secrets happily, suppress other magicians, proudly declare the excellence of El-Melloi's magic school, win without humiliation, defeat all enemies, and achieve great results.
Return singing a song of victory.
In his mind, the Holy Grail War should be about the two sides reporting their names and families, and then both sides using their secret techniques. You come and I go back and forth, fighting for the existence of magic.
However, after actually participating, I found that this was not the case at all.
He attributed this to the poor level of the participants.
How could those country bumpkins have the arrogance that a magician should have?
Kenneth was very sad.
Especially, the information El-Melloi II just gave him.
(He said... he had seen my love letter. I would never leave that thing alone... that is to say... in the future where he is... the owner of the study has never gone back, right?
.)
Thinking of this, Kenneth's heart was filled with pride and pride, and his blood almost boiled, prompting him to take the action of "fighting all the assassins with one person".
He already knows that there is more than one assassin.
Because, there were several dark figures in front of him.
how many?
Who cares.
No matter how many people come here, they will die in Kenneth's magic workshop.
(Although I don’t know who I lost to in that world, it must be a very powerful guy. Humph.)
Kenneth snorted arrogantly and recited a mantra in a low voice.
It was an extremely large-scale magic that lasted seven measures.
As I said before, this Hyatt Regency Hotel has been transformed into Kenneth's magic base. The assassins are doomed from the moment they step in here.
Because, Kenneth not only has massive magic support, but also is familiar with the terrain, and has also set up countless traps.

As for why Assassin would do this...
The initiator was, of course, Tokiomi Tosaka.
Due to unexpected reasons, my archer was repulsed in an unexpected place.
For Tosaka Tokiomi, this was the biggest command error.
His original idea was to use the infinitely split assassin to first pretend to give away an assassin, making everyone mistakenly think that the assassin was dead, then secretly let them engage in espionage activities, and then lead Archer to annihilate them one by one.
However, now Archer's sudden exit has put all plans in vain.
Therefore, he asked his disciple and his ally, Kotomine Kirei, to transfer his servant [assassin Hyakuma Hasan] to him.
To be honest, Kotomine Kirei wasn't very interested in the Holy Grail War to begin with. He still couldn't understand why he was chosen. Since his ally Tohsaka Tokiomi was in need, he didn't think much about it and handed him over.
The right to use assassin is out.
In other words, let Assassin conclude a contract with Tokiomi Tohsaka again.
Tokiomi Tosaka judged that Caster, Saber and Lancer had joined forces, so he decided to let Assassin assassinate Kenneth, eliminating at least one of them first.
In particular, he used magic to see through Assassin's vision that Kenneth was laughing. He was losing his guard because of being praised...
I didn't expect him to be so wary.
Have you underestimated him?
(At this time, you should retreat.)
Tosaka Tokiomi thought so in his heart.
However, the middle-aged magician shook his head fiercely.
(No, I ordered Archer to retreat because I didn’t trust the Servant, which led to his demise. If I had not considered this before, but ordered Archer to annihilate the enemy, I’m afraid the situation would have been different at that time.)
Thinking of this, Tokiomi Tosaka calmly put away his orders and chose to trust Assassin's independent judgment.
Since ancient times, the common understanding in the Holy Grail War is that servants are stronger than humans. Even an assassin, who is recognized as weak, can easily deal with a magician.
No matter how powerful Kenneth is, he is still just a human being, very young.
Moreover...he doesn't want support from followers now. There is still a chance.
The characteristic of assassin Baimian Hassan is that he has different fighting methods, and it is not necessarily possible to defeat him in any one of them.
Tokiomi Tosaka watched the battle calmly.
Suddenly, this elegant magician's eyes widened.
He suddenly noticed that the Lancer in the corner, the black-haired servant, was carelessly rubbing a girl's hair.
That girl with purple hair... Although her hair color is different... But...
(Sakura? Why is she there?!)

As Kenneth sang, the entire atmosphere of the Hyatt Hotel changed.
The faucet suddenly spurted water, as did the automatic fire extinguishing device. The water pipe burst, and countless transparent liquids splashed into the sky, flowed on the floor, and seeped into the next floor. In the entire Hyatt Hotel, more than twenty floors were turned into such water.
world.
This was set up by Kenneth long ago.
This is an ultra-wide-area magic comparable to the inherent barrier.
Kenneth, who has the dual attributes of wind and water, is the absolute ruler in this world that has turned into a water prison.
Even if the magic everywhere is preset, it still requires seven bars of chanting to be activated. This is what Kenneth had in mind from the beginning.
He is well] thought.
Now, just in time to entertain assassin.
The assassins judged that the assassination failed.
Generally speaking, you should choose to retreat at this time...
but……
(No, the Master did not order us to retreat... refer to the Archer, the Master will definitely give us a signal when he wants us to retreat.)
The individual in charge of the commander in the assassin thought so, and instilled this idea into other assassins. The amazing thing is that all of them thought so.
Tosaka Tokiomi is a typical magician. Since he has not given himself orders, he should not act rashly. Otherwise, if he is angry, he may not do anything...
In the middle of the hotel, Kenneth was looking at Assassin with a proud smile. He was obviously the one who was attacked, and he was the one with the fewest people, but looking at the proud expression on his face, he looked like the winner...
"Then... now I officially identify you as enemies who have broken into my Kenneth position, and I will annihilate you."
