What is an upstart?

Nouveau riche refers to a person who has achieved considerable wealth in a short period of time, and most of the time it is used to describe the level of education and moral quality but has not kept up, which is different from the aristocracy and the wealthy, and is a derogatory term.

A similar term is "upstart", but unlike the obvious disparagement of the nouveau riche, the term is much more neutral, and even has some praise in the nature of praise.

That's how Atram and his Gary Asta define themselves. The upstarts in the capital world, the upstarts in the magic world, and the people who are in line with the trend of the times will surely replace those old and obsolete families and lead the times.

In his opinion, those so-called aristocratic families who are obsessed with their own history and glory, and use this to set thresholds and belittle others, are ridiculous, and they will be eliminated by the torrent of the times.

Let's look at the mainstream of the world: How many years has the history of the United States, the strongest country and the only superpower in the world today? Has it not yet become the hegemon of the world? In contrast, what about Britain, which has a long history and has once dominated the world, known as the "empire on which the sun never sets"? How much influence does it have today?

I will become the United States of magic and capital, and those so-called aristocratic families will only weaken like Britain, and Atram has never doubted himself, even if he was defeated in the Izeluma incident and was beaten up by a group of young people, he has not changed.

The El Meloy Classroom, a group of young people, was also a member of the "upstart", and the "Uncrowned Lord", like himself, had no illustrious background, let alone a long history, and had grown from a humble student to the present day. In contrast, he is too rich in both qualifications and resources, why can he do it, but he can't do it?

So here he is, to Fuyuki City, to this place where a lord and an "uncrowned lord" once struggled, and he also wants to start from here, and return to the clock tower with enough merit to pick up the face he once lost!

To this end, he spent an astronomical amount of money and made thorough preparations. Not only did he purchase the super-first-class catalyst "Golden Fleece" to summon servants at any cost, but he also bought an entire commercial building in Xindu District, Dongmu City in advance to arrange a workshop.

After the initial completion of the workshop, he put his subordinates and equipment into the workshop in batches and stood by. Shinji said before that he was not wrong, he did have some restraint, just to facilitate the choice to take the special plane, and he did not make too much publicity after getting off the plane. Instead of going to other places, he will not only take a special plane, but also prepare a huge convoy of local heads of state to travel.

It's all about winning the Holy Grail War, it's all about showing strength to the clock tower!

From beginning to end, he didn't think that he would fail, it was just a small ceremony in the Far East, and how many strong people could it attract?

Velvet was defeated because he was weak back then.

Lord Elmeroi's disappearance is obviously due to other calculations, and now that the Elmeroy faction is thriving, it is almost on par with the three nobles.

He, Atram Gariasta, was different, he didn't have that much calculation, he was strong enough, and he didn't see anyone as an opponent except for the other person who was also sent by the Clock Tower.

Now that everything is ready, all that remains is to summon the servants and get the ticket to the war.

"Declare—"

On the night he arrived in Fuyuki City, Atrum did not feel sleepy, standing in front of a summoning array drawn with various precious materials, pressing stigmata with his hand and chanting aloud the incantation he had received from the Guild.

In an instant, thunder and lightning flashed, and unimaginably vast magic broke through the barriers between worlds, bringing the embodiment of myths and legends from far away to the present world.

“Servant· Caster Medea, please take care of me, young Master. ”

Seeing the woman standing in the center of the summoning array, hiding her head and face under the cloak, hearing her announce her real name in a nice voice, and feeling the connection between the two, Atram clenched his fists excitedly.

It's done, the summon is successful, I've got the strongest trump card, and victory will be in my bag.

However, this good mood did not last long before it was ruined by the blows that followed.

The first is that the set goal was not achieved, although Medea is a hero related to dragons, but due to the restrictions of the times and the burning of the Golden Fleece as a catalyst, Medea is unable to exert the skills of the dragon.

The second is Medea's attitude, and like Kenneth ten years ago, Atram only treats servants as something similar to a demon. What if you are a hero? It's just that you are strong and have your own will, and in the end you don't have to rely on your own magic as a master?

But when he really summoned the Servant and saw the Servant's strength, he found that he was wrong, very wrong!

Before Medea made a move, Atram condescendingly said that as a magician, he was ready to suppress the other masters, and enthusiastically showed Medea the secret skills of the Gary Asta family, which was why he bought a house in Fuyuki City in advance and built a workshop.

It is the primordial magic that uses the cost to generate mana, and this price is the "small source" that life itself has, that is, the living sacrifice. By sacrificing living sacrifices, extract the "small source" from them to refine magic crystals for your own use. As long as there are enough sacrifices, endless magic can be obtained.

To this end, Atram buys a large number of live sacrifices through the human trafficking ring in his hometown - in the war-torn Middle East, some people disappear and no one cares about them, and this is his trump card for victory.

What he didn't expect was that his biggest reliance, the source of self-confidence, was actually devalued by his servants.

"Spending life for this level of crystallization is the job of a third-rate magician. ”

Medea, who said this, waved her hand on the modern altar that Atram personally designed and was proud of, and created a magic crystalline that was dozens of times more than using six living sacrifices, and it was more pure and effective.

"What did you do?" Atram exclaimed, unable to believe his eyes, "Why can you make 'mana' out of thin air from an empty furnace?"

"Nothing? For modern magicians like you, it's true that you can't see anything, and there is still a level of technology for generating magic, no, a dimensional gap. ”

Medea's tone was flat, like boiled water, but it was so harsh to Atram's ears, it was a complete negative evaluation of his life and his efforts. He struggled, questioning.

"So, what about the chanting? I did my best to shorten the chanting time in this workshop. ”

"I don't need to chant at all. For me, magic is just a command. ”

It was still a flat tone, but the more it was like this, the worse Atram's mood became.
