Suiqunyuan College is a very normal private institution of higher learning. Its school building was built 22 years ago and was renovated a few years ago, so the school building and playground look very new.

There is no morning self-study here, so students only need to arrive at the classroom before the first class at 8 a.m., and if they join a club, they need to participate in activities one hour in advance.

Hayakawa Tatehoshi did not join any clubs, so when Ji Xing arrived at the campus around 7:40, there were already many people in the school.

The youthful high school students were chasing each other on the playground, chatting in small groups about their vacation experiences and lamenting how quickly the vacation passed.

"The last time I was a student was the last time." Ji Xing sighed as he walked into the teaching building.

Class A of the second grade was on the second floor. As he walked up the stairs, he happened to meet a cheerful figure.

"Ah, Tatexing-san? Good morning." Running down with arms spread like a bee was the 25-year-old C class teacher and Class A English teacher Taiga Fujimura: "How was your vacation?"

"Good morning, teacher, you're having a great time."

"Really? You must also remember to have a good rest and don't stay up late playing games all the time. There are some dark circles under your eyes." Taiga Fujimura said, suddenly getting close to Ji Xing and whispering: "What games does Li Xing like to play? Teacher

He is a master."

"Hmm... Fate Grand Order? Let's play a little bit of it a lot."

"What is that?" Taiga Fujimura muttered, and Little Bee continued to go downstairs: "I know. If you get an A in English at the end of the semester, the teacher can invite you to play games together, come on!"

"Okay."

Ji Xing smiled and continued upstairs.

The sudden 10 years have taken a little getting used to. It seems that one second Fujimura Taiga was a crazy little girl, and now she has become... a crazy people's teacher? Well, Sakura must have changed even more.

After entering Class A of the second grade, Ji Xing greeted a few 'familiar faces' and quietly sat on the throne in the second to last row by the window. He packed his schoolbag and desk alone while observing his 'classmates'

.

Rin Tosaka hasn't arrived yet, and the most familiar faces now are the three girls two rows apart, the track and field trio, Kaede Shidera, Bell Himuro and Yuka Saegashira. With Kaede Shidera here, their positions are also

The most lively conversation in the classroom turned to Ji Xing within a few words.

I heard Kaede Shisi, who had slightly darker skin and an outgoing personality like a boy, said in a low voice: "Hey, have you noticed the changes in Tachiboshi-san?"

"Change? Ritsuki-san?"

"Ah, he used to just nod silently when greeting people, but he waved just now. Also, his hairstyle and school uniform seem to be much neater and neater than before..." Kaede Shisi said while performing his actions.

"You observe so carefully," grey-haired bespectacled girl Himuro Chung complained.

"Of course, I am the Black Panther of Suiqunhara, and my eyes are very sharp!" Kaede Shiji patted his chest proudly: "What are the reasons for boys to change? Hehe..."

Yuka Saeda covered her mouth in surprise. Bell Himuro also became interested and glanced at Ji Xing: "Isn't it...in love? Tatexing-san? I can't tell at all..."

So chirping more closely.

High school girl... By simply adjusting the distribution of ear canal flora, Ji Xing's hearing has been strengthened without the need for magic output.

Within two minutes, Ayako Mizu, the head of the Kyudo club with heroic features and an appearance like a big sister, walked into the classroom, attracting the trio's attention elsewhere, and the classroom became increasingly lively.

And it wasn't until 7:58, with only two minutes left before being late, that a figure hurried into the classroom and instantly silenced the classroom.

Her smooth and beautiful long hair is tied into a pair of ponytails on both sides and hangs down her shoulders. The red coat adds a touch of color to her perfect appearance. She has jewel-like black eyes. She is not tall but has a slim figure.

When she grew up, Tohsaka Rin was truly a beauty. No wonder she was the admired object of countless boys in the school and was recognized as the 'school beauty'.

"Ah, really, I thought it was Teacher Kuzugi who came." It was Kaede Shisi who broke the silence: "Rin, I haven't seen you for a holiday, how come you have become more eye-catching."

"Perhaps I haven't seen you for a holiday, and my classmates have forgotten my appearance?" Tohsaka Rin turned around and walked to his seat with a polite but helpless smile.

Her seat was in the middle row by the window, just two seats in front of Ji Xing, so from Ji Xing's point of view, she could easily see the eyes of several boys moving with her. When Tohsaka Rin sat down and looked back,

They quickly dodge away and go about their own business.

"Alas~" Sighing, Rin Tosaka rested his chin with his hands and stared blankly, leaving Beauty alone.

"It seems that you are not worried about being popular, but you are worried about other things?" Ji Xing looked at her back, and the math teacher walked into the classroom.

Start today's class.

…

Tohsaka Rin is indeed troubled by something.

The story started about a week ago, when a magician from the Clock Tower Magic Association visited the Tosaka family, and then her father called her and Sakura over for a long talk.

"Rin, Sakura, you have all experienced the last Holy Grail War. There are some things that you can understand without saying much. The fifth Holy Grail War is about to begin, but this time, it is the Holy Grail Final that our Tohsaka family cannot participate in.

war'."

"Ten years ago, under the unknown intervention of Emiya Kiritsugu, the heroic spirit Dobuchi who was contaminated by the Holy Grail turned the target of his attack to the clock tower, even destroying the clock tower building, destroying many magic materials, and causing immeasurable losses.

.

Later, the Clock Tower originally planned to poach the Great Holy Grail directly, but due to the church, their own internal disputes, and some compromises between Tohsaka and Einzbern, plus the fact that this time the Holy Grail only takes ten years to be charged with magic.

Next, it was not achieved, and the price was that our three imperial families would completely withdraw from the stage of the Holy Grail War, and even have to cooperate with the Clock Tower.

In the upcoming fifth final battle of the Holy Grail, six people will be sent by the Clock Tower, and one person will be sent by the Church to supervise the participation. There will not be any places left for other parties. Perhaps even the final winner has been decided internally

’, from any angle, it is unimaginable for us.”

When he said these words, there was obviously a hint of unwillingness on his father's face, but he still emphasized to them: "As daughters of the Tohsaka family, you have the ability to become masters, but even if the command spell appears on the back of your hand, you still have to

Notify me as soon as possible that no summoning attempts can be made.

For your safety, and for the sake of...the inheritance of the Tohsaka family."

Rin Tosaka, who is already 17 years old, can understand that the Tosaka family is very small compared to the Clock Tower. In the past four Holy Grail Wars, it was just because the Clock Tower did not take it seriously, but now the other party has taken it seriously.

If you don’t participate, you won’t participate.

The shadow left by Kotomine Kirei on her and him 10 years ago made her not very interested in participating, but she could let it go gently, but Sakura...

"Alas~" She sighed again.

"Tohsaka Rin-san, is there anything difficult to understand in what the teacher said?"

"Ah, no! No...sigh~"

…

The morning passed between two classes.

Rin Tosaka, who had been distracted all morning, declined the invitation from his classmates and went to the cafeteria alone.

Ji Xing, who had also been practicing on his own all morning, glanced at the track and field trio who began to peek at him again. After thinking about it, he also went to the cafeteria.

The food at the private academy was good, and Ji Xing was not as frugal as the original boy. He had two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes and one soup, and found an empty seat to sit down near Rin Tohsaka, who had arrived first.

Not long after, the girl with long aqua hair appeared in Ji Xing's eyes.

Tohsaka Sakura, who is studying in Class B of the first grade, is already 16 years old. Compared with her cute appearance when she was a child, her appearance is only enlarged. The difference is that her eyes are shining and there is a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Sister, good lunch." She held the dinner plate and sat opposite Rin Tosaka.

Tohsaka Rin also smiled at her: "Good afternoon, Sakura, how was this morning?"

"Well, everything is fine. It's just that someone from the Kyudo club has quit. Meizu-senpai has a headache."

"That guy Shenji is still so annoying? He's not causing trouble for you anymore, is he?"

"there is none left……"

The two sisters chatted for a while and each immersed himself in eating. Not long after, Tohsaka Rin suddenly raised his head and said, "Sakura, are you worried?"

Tohsaka Sakura was startled: "What?"

"You can't hide it from me." Tohsaka Rin sighed again: "You were often distracted after my father talked to us that day. And I saw the hat in the cabinet in your room... Although I don't know why that thing is not there.

Just disappear with that guy, but you don’t want to use it as a holy relic to summon that guy again, right?”

Is Tong Yuan's bamboo hat still there? Is it because it is contaminated with the aura of the Holy Grail? Ji Xing, who was engrossed in eating not far away, frowned and let out a sigh in his heart.

Tohsaka Sakura was silent for two seconds before shaking her head and saying, "I know, sister. We can't participate in this Holy Grail War, let alone summon Grandpa Tong Yuan, I know that."

Tohsaka Rin stared at her for a moment before slowly nodding: "Speaking of which, that person also saved me ten years ago, and I haven't thanked him in person yet. There will be a chance, but it won't be this 'Holy Grail Final Battle'.

Keeping the holy relic of the bamboo hat, he will eventually find an opportunity in the future, but I can't say whether he will have the same memory as last time."

"Yeah, I know." Sakura Tohsaka smiled and nodded heavily, indicating that it didn't matter.

Tohsaka Rin suddenly looked back: "I said you three were eavesdropping there... Huh?"

She sensed the track and field trio, and thought they were 'peeping' at her as usual, but when she turned around, she saw the trio looking elsewhere.

Following the gazes of the three of them, the boy she caught her eye made her mind spin for a while before she remembered that it was Hayakawa Tatehoshi's classmate. With a confused look on her face, she gave Sakura a "eat first" gesture.

"If you don't go to eat, what are you watching here?" She walked towards the track and field trio.

"Shh~" Shisi Feng immediately gave her a silencing gesture and pulled her to whisper.

Soon Tosaka Rin looked up in surprise: "Tachiboshi-kun? Are you in love?"

"That's right! The more you look at it, the more obvious it becomes!" Kaede Shishi vowed: "In the past, Mr. Lixing still had some financial difficulties in eating, but if you look at his plate today, it is obvious that he is 'confident'. And if you look carefully,

Those faint dark circles must be caused by staying up late and texting the girl!"

She looked like a famous detective: "I just don't know if they are in the same year or first grade, or are they senior sisters? Outside of school? It seems like they want to keep it a secret, but they didn't even eat together..."
To be continued...
