Chihiro: "There's a saying , 'Meanness is the passport of mean people, and nobility is the epitaph of noble people.'"
Chihiro: "To see a distinguished member of the Twelve Lords of the Clock Tower hold onto such idealistiotions… it's disappointing, really."
Keh: "..."
Keh fell silent. He was a grown man, a noble, and a Clock Tower lord. How could he still be so naive?
He knew Emiya Kiritsugu's reputation as the notorious "Magus Killer," yet he still eaihe childish idea of a fair duel.
Looking at his own as in the video, Keh began to feel a sense of shame. The version of himself on the s, so fident and brash, looked like nothing more than a fool.
---
[In the video, Keh finally ered Emiya Kiritsugu after a long chase through the castle halls.]
["Let's see where you run to now, rat," Keh sneered.]
[Keh scoffed, "You really think that little trick will wain, you despicable mongrel?"]
["That shot that injured me was nothing more than luck. I'll soon show you the true differeween us."]
[Keh, fident in his defenses, tio taunt Emiya Kiritsugu, ign the gun poi him.]
[Unmoved, Kiritsugu raised his M950 and fired without hesitation.]
["Boil, my blood!" Keh shouted, transf his mercury into a wall of spikes that blocked Kiritsugu's path.]
[Kiritsugu calmly holstered the M950 and drew his Thompson tender, a single-shot pistol. He took aim and fired once more. Keh, seeing the familiar gun, quickly encased himself in his mercury barrier.]
["Fool! I already told you this won't work twice!" Keh mocked.]
[He failed to notice the faint smirk that crossed Kiritsugu's face as he pulled the trigger.]
["Ahhhh!" Keh's scream tore through the castle as he crumpled to the ground, clutg his shoulder in agony.]
---
Keh: "What? It actually… hit me?"
Keh: "How could his bullet possibly pee my plete defeh the Moon Spirit Marrow?"
---
[The mercury barrier colpsed, returning to its liquid form as Keh fell into a pool of his own blood, clutg his injury.]
[The se shifts to show a maiculously crafting bullets in a dimly lit workshop.]
["I'll grind your ribs into dust and mold them into these bullets. When they hit, they'll awaken your in ihe target's body," the man expined.]
["They're deadly against magi. Whearget's magic circuits are triggered, they'll short-circuit and devour themselves."]
["The strohe mage, the worse it gets. Once you're hit, you're as good as dead."]
["Here, kid—this is your Mystic Code, the 'in Bullet.'"]
["I made sixty-six of them for you. Use them wisely."]
---
Waver: "Those bullets… they destroy a magus's circuits entirely?"
Keh: "I… I was hit by that bullet? My magic circuits are… ruined?"
Emiya Kiritsugu: "Yes. The in Bullet breaks magic circuits beyond repair."
Keh: "Emiya Kiritsugu! You…!"
Keh, who had just been trying to calm himself, erupted in fury once again. For a magus, the magic circuits within their body were life itself. Without them, even if he survived the Holy Grail War, his life at the Clock Tower would be over.
He'd be cast aside as an invalid, nothing more than a shadow of his former self.
But what horrified Keh more was the method Kiritsugu had used to create the bullets. To carve out his own ribs and grind them into ons… Keh found the very idea abhorrent, yet disturbingly brilliant.
Not only Keh, but the i watg like Tohsaka Tokiomi and Waver were appalled, reevaluating Emiya Kiritsugu as someoremely dangerous.
"Kiritsugu…" Irisviel whispered, holding onto her husband's arm, her eyes glistening with tears. She could scarcely imagihe pain he'd eo create such a on.
The Heroic Spirit, Kiritsugu's alter ego, watched silently, showing ion.

[The se returo the present, with Kiritsugu advang to finish off Keh. But suddenly, Diarmuid appeared, positioning himself between his Master and the enemy.]
[Kiritsugu fired another shot, which Diarmuid deflected effortlessly.]
["You know as well as I do that I easily kill you, Saber's Master," Diarmuid said coldly, unwavering in his duty.]
["I will not let anyone harm my lord," he decred, his nce held firmly before him.]
[Kiritsugu paused, l his gun but keeping his gaze locked on Diarmuid.]
["her the King of Knights nor I wahis fight to end this way," Diarmuid tinued, hoistih over his shoulder. "Remember, the reason you're still alive is due to the Knight King's sense of honor."]
[With that, Diarmuid turned and quickly retreated, taking the wounded Keo safety.]
[The video ended here.]
---
Keh: "Lancer! Why didn't you just kill Emiya Kiritsugu?"
Diarmuid: "Master, if the situation were as shown in the video, then my priority would have been to ensure your safety."
Keh: "Hmph…"
Though Keh was angry, he couldn't ighe reality of his situation in the video. He was gravely injured—crippled, even. Avoiding Emiya Kiritsugu from now on seemed to be the wisest choice.
---
[The first question cluded, and a sed question was announced.]
---
[This was a multiple-choice question, apanied by a new video clip.]
---
[The se opened on Fuyuki Bridge, where Waver stood, his expression tense as he faced Iskandar.]
[Iskandar sat atop his warhorse, Bucephalus, gripping his "Sword of Cyprus" as he prepared to charge. On the opposite side stood Gilgamesh, his golden Gate of Babylon opening behind him as he prepared a storm of Noble Phantasms.]
[Uerred by the rain of projectiles, Iskandar grinned, using his sword to knock away each on in his path as he charged forward.]

The King of querors: "Hahaha! It seems our csh was iable, King of Heroes."
Hero King: "Indeed, but don't delude yourself into thinking you ge the oute."
The King of querors: "Don't be so sure. Victory is not decided by words alone."
Hero King: "If you're truly prepared to die, then e! But don't fet, your end is already written."
