When it came to controlling people's minds, Medea, as a Caster, had quite a lot of experience.
Reinforcement Magic changed Matou Zouken's Constitution, allowing his mind to operate faster.
Psychological cue laid the groundwork for Matou Zouken; when the keyword 'purple-haired woman' appeared in his sight, a segment of his true memory would awaken.
If it had been at any other time, Scáthach might have been able to react quickly, but Matou Zouken just happened to appear the moment she stepped out of the Land of Shadows' Portal.
Of course, Kisaragi Rin couldn't rely on Scáthach failing to react.
Shinomiya Kaguya suddenly defected. Although Gilgamesh was a bit confused, he obediently held the [Akhilleus Kosmos] and stood behind Matou Zouken, ensuring he wouldn't be instantly killed by Scáthach.
And then, the plan was naturally completed.
Matou Zouken had been staying in the Workshop previously, and Kisaragi Rin didn't believe Scáthach could have foreseen that.
"Should I say, as expected of the Lancer Class?"
Kisaragi Rin suddenly thought.
Every Lancer who attempts to fight is dragged down by their own luck and forced to leave the stage.
The success of this strategy was truly thanks to Scáthach's Master not being on the battlefield.
Only when in the Out-of-Combat State would Paradise forcibly settle the game for the Master who violated rule six.
Scáthach, in order to fight without reservation, did not let her Master join the mêlée, inadvertently creating the prerequisite for the Out-of-Combat State.
However, if Scáthach's Master had been present, Kisaragi wouldn't have used this method anyway.
After all, Scáthach couldn't protect her Master in front of five enemies; having the Master join the campaign would only make the battle end more easily.
"The opposing Master really had terrible luck."
Yukinoshita Yukino complained.
"Indeed... it's a bit... uh, impolite."
Saber couldn't help but say.
"Come on, I originally wanted to have a serious fight with Scáthach too."
Kisaragi Rin looked at Shinomiya Kaguya. Ever since she learned she was about to become S-Rank, she had been preoccupied, looking like she wanted to speak but didn't know how.
"It was Shinomiya's expression about how important becoming S-Rank was that made me want to quickly end this game and return to Paradise to see what would happen."
"Don't you dare blame Kaguya Ojou-sama."
Hayasaka Ai shielded her Kaguya Ojou-sama.
"I say, aren't you worried at all?"
Gilgamesh put away her shield and couldn't help but ask.
"Given Scáthach's personality, forcing her out like this must have infuriated her."
Then she noticed Kisaragi Rin's indifferent expression, and the other Heroic Spirits looked equally unconcerned, as if they had just heard the question, "What should we eat later?"
This reaction was truly strange. Gilgamesh felt that perhaps they didn't understand the concept of Scáthach.
She explained again: "Scáthach is the Queen of the Land of Shadows, and her true body is still alive."
"Gil, don't worry so much, because this Holy Grail War will end very soon."
Kisaragi Rin said casually.
Only Soichiro Kuzuki and Emiya Shirou remained outside Fuyuki City. At the latest, tomorrow, this Holy Grail War would draw its final curtain.
Even if Scáthach wanted to cross worlds from the Land of Shadows to hunt him down, she likely wouldn't have the chance.
Moreover, Kisaragi Rin already had some ideas about how to take the lovely Heroic Spirits beside him away.
If he did that, he would undoubtedly antagonize the two great suppressing forces of the Fate World.
But there's no need to worry when you have too many debts... Kisaragi likely wouldn't come back to this world anyway.
The Master was forcibly settled out of the game, and Scáthach was sent back to the Land of Shadows because she lost her Master.
"It's going to end soon?"
Thinking of the two remaining enemies outside, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly remembered something else, frowning as she said, "Based on our judgment of this world, the restricted confrontation is a special characteristic of this world, and it is now confirmed to be due to the Corrupted Holy Grail. So why would Paradise set up a rule with such severe punishment?"
If the [restricted confrontation] of this world was a [mission mode] decided by Paradise itself, then setting up a [Supernatural Concealment] rule as a supplementary regulation for the [mission mode] would naturally be fine.
But now, she and Kisaragi Rin had determined from the world view that the reason the Supernatural could not appear in Fuyuki City was the Loss of Control of the Corrupted Holy Grail in Emiya Shirou's hands.
If that's the case, Paradise setting up rule six with such severe punishment seems too inconsistent.
"The reason is actually very simple. Paradise is merely balancing the power gap among the Seven Great Classes."
Kisaragi Rin said, causing Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai to look over.
"Balancing the Class gap?"
Shinomiya Kaguya noticed that Kisaragi Rin spoke of Classes, not Heroic Spirits.
"Yes, Classes."
"Medea and I are both special. If you exclude our presence, starting from the moment everyone entered the game and hadn't summoned a Heroic Spirit yet, don't you think the Caster Class is simply too weak?"
Saber, Rider, Lancer, Berserker, Caster, Archer, Assassin.
These are the Seven Classes of a proper Holy Grail War.
In this game, players need to summon one of their Servants from the Seven Great Classes, fight the Servants of other players, and win.
Although the Saber Class is nominally the strongest, neither Rider, Archer, Lancer, nor Berserker lacks powerful individuals capable of contending with it.
Even the Assassin can achieve victory by assassinating enemy players in this game.
Only Caster became a Version Trap.
If it were a proper Holy Grail War, one could still say there are no weak Classes, only weak Heroic Spirits.
But this happens to be a Fuyuki City where magic is absent and the Supernatural Recedes.
What does this represent?
A Caster actually can't draw magic power from the battlefield to construct their Magic Workshop.
With no magic power outside, the Caster Class, which relies on magic power for combat, can only obtain magic power from the Master, provided they don't slaughter the local residents of Fuyuki City.
And the magic power a Master can provide is determined by their Constitution and intelligence attributes.
But everyone is Lv3. Excluding the anomaly Kisaragi Rin, how much difference could there be in the amount of magic power?
Originally, most Heroic Spirits possess the Inherent Skill Magic Resistance. With Caster's Territory Creation and Item Creation rendered useless, how are they supposed to fight the other Classes?
From the perspective of "fairness," these Seven Classes should not have too great a difference in combat power.
Thus, Paradise provided compensation to the Caster Class through its rules.
Seeing Lily return and Medea's injuries already healed, Kisaragi said casually, "Because Caster was summoned by me, and the one I summoned was Medea, you never felt that this Class had any weak points."
In terms of combat, Medea was completely unable to join the battle alongside the other Heroic Spirits.
However, the ability to plunder Heroic Spirits, plunder Command Seals, and Reinforce Command Seal-unlocked Equipment was already sufficient.
