(Gray POV)

Walking inside the room, there I see a giant round table set up in the middle of the room, with the mistress of the Barthomeloi family sitting on the end side of the table. Seeing around the room I could tell that the number of the security team was big, since the first time I had to take the first step around the hotel area I could feel the high-level boundary field that has been cast on the entire building.

With many types of security that the Barthomeloi mistress had taken, I was sure that this was because she wanted to keep her territory under her watch. Since the teacher's former student was also participating in this war, no wonder they took this many safety procedures just to keep him away from this place.

The aura around the room can be described as tense since the main reason why most of the participants in the war decide to join the war, was because of two reasons. First, the privilege to kill the Mage Killer in their hand, and second, to obtain the Grail to achieve their wish.

"Ah, it's a pleasure to be having all you masters in this room together," Allisa greeted with open arms. "Now then, please take a seat,"

Lowering her arm in front of all the empty chairs, all the masters along with their companions soon walk toward their respective chairs. With the teacher taking the sit near the mistress of the Barthomeloi, I on the other hand decide to stand behind him as that was the action each of the master's companions had taken right now.

"Now shall we start with what we're truly here for..." Allisa said, lowering her arm to the table.

"Where should we start," Waver said.

"How about, finding the weakness of that damn former student of yours!" Yelena said.

"Agree," Luke said.

Grabbing a cigarette out of his pocket, he then slowly lit it with little to no care whatsoever in his surrounding.

"Sadly to inform you all, I have no idea about any of his weaknesses," Waver said, letting out smoke in his mouth.

"Bullshit!" Yelena shouted in anger.

"I want you all to remember, the day I take him in was when he was 20 years old, and I'm only known him for a short period even though he is the child of my former student. I still hold the desire to take him as one of my own, if it wasn't for the interference with the higher-up back when he was 7,"

"Are you trying to insult the higher-up, Lord El-Melloi? " Allisa asked.

"No... I'm just stating an obvious fact if it wasn't for them, he wouldn't be the man he is today if he were to be under my guidance, to begin with," Waver exclaimed.

"Even so you were also held responsible for taking him into the clock tower and causing the fall of the mage association because of that tinny mistake," Yelena said.

"If my memory serves me right, wasn't your older sister that told him about the deep secret of the clock tower? Mistress Agares?" Waver calls out.

The heiress couldn't make a comeback, as what he told her was the truth, after all her sister was madly in love with that man, to begin with since they were formerly fiances before the incident happened.

"But could you tell us some information regarding his abilities?" Allisa asked.

"That's what I can do," Weaver said, puffing out smoke. "Thought the information about his ability is limited, since no one had decided to keep an eye on him for the past couple of years. But what I can know, is the fact that he uses three main Magecraft, as his usual spell which are Projections and Hardening. Two basic spells that can be used by any mages in and outside of the clock tower. Along with the Tohsaka family Gems Magecraft,"
