Chapter 176, Class 8: Teacher
Chapter 176, Class 8: Teacher
"Who exactly is hiding so well?"
Rin Tohsaka gritted her teeth and questioned Lin Yu, never expecting that someone would hide right under her nose. They really looked down on her.
"Don't rush, go to class first. I'll tell you the details after I confirm that person's identity."
Lin Yu patted Rin Tohsaka's shoulder calmly.
Ding-dong-
The crisp sound of the school bell interrupted their conversation. Lin Yu urged Rin Tohsaka to go to the classroom first, as he wanted to meet the teacher first.
This teacher is none other than Souichirou Kuzuki, whose rank is Teacher. How can someone of his status be a teacher? Is this school playing such a dirty trick? They have assassins as teachers, and all the students in the school are assassins, huh?
Of course, all of the above is a joke. The private Homurahara Academy is definitely not like that. Souichirou Kuzuki, as a teacher of world history and social studies, also serves as the student council advisor and the homeroom teacher of Rin Tohsaka's class. He can be said to be truly hidden in Rin Tohsaka's sight, yet she has not noticed him.
He shuttles between campuses every day, standing on the podium to teach students, explaining the changes in world history and the context of social development. After class, he serves as an advisor to guide the work of the student union and organize various activities.
Besides the organization behind him, his own abilities are also quite high. The reason why Rin Tohsaka didn't discover him is because he is neither a servant nor a magician. He just happened to be lucky enough to save Caster who was lying on the street.
Normally speaking, he is not a Master. He has no magic to provide to Caster, nor does he have Command Seals. He is a special ordinary person.
Currently, Soichiro Kuzuki lives at Ryudouji Temple. He has no direct connection with Ryudouji Temple, but the abbot of the temple is quite fond of him and has allowed him to stay there. The temple is quiet and secluded, far from the hustle and bustle, providing Soichiro Kuzuki with a peaceful place to live.
To say whether Souichirou Kuzuki is a good person or a bad person, one should lean towards the human side. Although he calls himself a "rotten killer", in fact, he has only killed one person with his own hands. The organization that trained him adheres to the principle of "one person kills one person". The members are carefully trained only to carry out one mission. After the mission is completed, they are ordered to commit suicide in order to ensure that the organization's secrets are not leaked.
Within that organization, Kuzuki Souichirou also learned a powerful skill – "Assassination Fist: Snake".
His attacks are always deadly; if he fails to kill her, the chances of losing increase. First, he single-handedly killed Rider Medusa, who had activated the Blood Temple, and then he severely injured Saber Artoria. This Teacher-class Servant, Kuzuki Souichirou, can be considered a human form Heroic Spirit and is also known as the 'People's Teacher'.
"Mr. Kuzuki, do you have time to chat with me for a while?" Lin Yu appeared decisively in Kuzuki Soichiro's office and spoke to him.
"who are you?"
Kuzuki Souichirou said warily. He had roughly guessed Lin Yu's identity. After all, Caster Medea had told him the details of the Holy Grail War, so he naturally understood that Lin Yu was also a Servant.
However, he was not flustered. Caster Medea had enhanced his body, increasing its strength tenfold. He was confident that he could fight a Servant. In addition, he was not afraid. His expression was very indifferent and did not change at all.
"Teacher Ge Mu, you don't want to lose your job because of fighting with me, do you? If you want to kill me, I'd be happy to find a safe place for myself."
Soichiro Kuzuki remained silent, simply listening to what the man said, before quietly standing up, with no intention of making a move here.
After all, this is his colleagues' office, and causing damage would give them a headache. He didn't want to cause trouble for others. If he hadn't met Caster Medea, he might have worked diligently as a teacher for the rest of his life.
But after meeting Caster Medea, this man who fell in love seemed to rediscover his emotions. He began to fight for Caster. Although their master-servant relationship seemed to have been reversed, Souichirou Kuzuki had indeed completely given up on the past.
Now, he would kill Caster's enemies without hesitation, but he once atoned for killing one person, which shows that the magic of love is indeed amazing. Of course, Souichirou Kuzuki is not the only one who has love; his Servant Medea is also attracted by the magic of love.
Originally, Caster Medea was skilled at behind-the-scenes planning, but in order to be with Souichirou Kuzuki, she violated the rules of the Holy Grail War by summoning Assassin (fake) Kojiro Sasaki through the gate of Ryudouji Temple to directly participate in the war. She longed for the Holy Grail in order to be happy with Souichirou Kuzuki.
"Who are you? What do you want with me?"
Souichirou Kuzuki led Lin Yu to the forest behind the school and asked him about it. Although he didn't know how this man had discovered his identity, he now wanted to know if Caster had been attacked.
"It's nothing, I just want you to kill me. If you kill me, I can grant you one of your Caster wishes."
Lin Yu put his hands behind his back and said in a gentle tone, "Caster Medea's wish is to be happily together with Kuzuki Souichirou in the real world, but the Holy Grail has been corrupted, so it's uncertain whether this wish can be fulfilled. However, with sufficient magical power, it's not certain."
Consider that our Gilgamesh has been living in the real world for over ten years, and many other Heroic Spirits from other storylines have also gained bodies and are living in the real world. At that time, Souichirou Kuzuki will get a brand new Caster Medea, a version that hasn't been touched by the scumbag Jason. But Souichirou Kuzuki won't care much about this kind of thing.
"It seems you know a lot."
Kuzuki Souichirou remained expressionless, showing no reaction to Lin Yu's words. It would have been perfect if he hadn't exuded that murderous aura.
"if not?"
As Lin Yu uttered those words behind his back, Kuzuki Souichirou made his decisive move.
"Assassination Fist - Snake" is launched instantly. The characteristics of this attack technique are that the left hand is versatile and can confuse the opponent, while the right hand is extremely powerful and can deliver a fatal blow. The left hand uses the elbow as a fulcrum and swings like a whip to accurately attack the enemy's vital parts, causing the opponent to lose consciousness briefly due to pain.
When the opponent's attention is drawn to the left hand, the right hand will suddenly exert force from the ready position and strike like a cannonball, aiming at the opponent's throat or cervical spine, striving to penetrate or break it in one blow. Even if the opponent manages to dodge, the right hand can quickly switch to a "grabbing" action, tightly gripping the opponent's neck, making it impossible for them to breathe or move.
This one move caused Rider Medusa to die tragically in the classroom due to carelessness, leaving without ever displaying her full power.
