The Magus Association,The Church and The Factions

London,

Inside the great clock tower of London, a group of old people can be seen sitting on high seats as a bored-looking young man was standing in front of them.

"So, Mr.Hyoudou, do you know why we called you here?" one of the people with long black hair asked.

"Can you please get to the point Lord El-Mellloi? I have a flight to catch and my idiot brother to look after" Minato said carelessly as the man gave an amused smile while the rest of the magi scowled at the disrespect.

"Silence you commoner, why if it were not for your family's history-"

"That's enough councilmen, I don't think young Minato has done anything wrong, and even if he did do something wrong, what can you do? are you going to confront the Wizard Marshal yourself?" El-Melloi said as the men calmed down at the mention of the Dead apostle.

"But even if he and his family are protected by the Wizard Marshal, he still has to be punished for what he did, why if It were up to me, I would immediately put him under Sealing Designation and-"

"Then I guess it is a good thing that it is not up to you, Barthomeloi," Minato said with barely contained rage as power started to leak out of him, pressuring everyone in the room, including the famed Vice-Director of the Clock tower.

"Now, now, my dear Dovahkiin, no need to attack those poor lads and ladies" came a mirthful voice as an old man wearing a suit, with white hair and red eyes and with a cane in his hands came out from the shadows.

Minato did not say anything but looked at the Dead Apostle with open annoyance while Zelretch started to speak.

"Even though he had indeed caused a lot of collateral damage when he fought the Dead Apostle in Antarctica, he had still barely used a fraction of his true power, if he were to truly use his power, there would be no Antarctica anymore, so I think it is better to leave this matter be and all of you go back," he said as all the Lords except El-Melloi grumbled and left. Zelretch sighed as he said.

"One of these days, you are going to end up pissing off everyone at the clocktower Minato, I need you to be careful about what you do, while I have confidence that nothing short of a God or the combined power of three Sorcerers can even hope to cause you harm, that does not mean that they will not target your family, you may be a Dovahkiin, but in this world, even dragons can be brought down with ease for some people," he said as Minato quirked his eyebrow.

"While Aoko would gladly fight me given a chance, I do not think Shiki Tohno would be stupid enough to go against me, he may possess the eyes of Death perception but if he cannot get close to me he is of no threat, especially when I can easily remove his very soul from his body with nothing but a shout, and as far as Ophius and Great REd are concerned, let's just say that I have fought dragons one par with them and still one shouted them many times so I don't see any problem, besides, if the Association really does attack me, I will have no choice but to retaliate in full force" he said as Zelretch once again sighed.

Truly, he had never had such an unruly student in his long life, and the worst thing was that he was powerless to punish him either.

On the day Minato was born, Zelretch, Aoko, and Irisveil had already sensed his immense presence that had covered the entire planet, Zelretch especially was surprised as he had once traveled to the continent of Tamriel and had met many Dragonborn but none were as ridiculously strong or as sharp-minded as Minato, it was especially scary when he later learned that not only does Minato know every Thuum in existence, but he can also speak fluent dovahzul, meaning that his shouts would be even more powerful and he also had the potential to create new shouts, he was also well versed in all forms of the magic of Tamriel and had a great mastery over it, even when he was but a 10-year-old, he was already strong enough to go toe to toe with a satan-class being, as he grows he only got stronger and was now at such a level that even Zelretch could not say with confidence that he would be able to defeat him.

And as if all this was not enough, he had to be born in the Hyoudou family, or as they were once known, the Hudson Family. An ancient magus family that had left the clock tower many centuries ago after they were hunted by the Magi association for their sorcery trait, their unnatural affinity for Sacred Gears.

The Hudson family was known for the fact that every two generations, the youngest child would be born with a sacred gear, it did not matter if it was a high grade or low grade one, but it was a fact that they would have it, this was also the reason why they had a custom where the inheritance and magic crest of a grandparent would not go to their child but instead, would go to the grandchild, but after they were hunted by the association after the Barthomeloi of that time had declared a sealing designation on the family, they fled London and ended up going to Japan where they changed their name to Hyoudou and continued to live in seclusion, what they did not know was that the Magi Association was almost annihilated by an unknown Divine Spirit, she only gave a cryptic message that the Association had endangered Humanity by going after a family that was protected by the Nine Divines and that the descendent of this family will be responsible for either saving or destroying the world.

After that, slowly, the Hyoudou family begin to lose their knowledge of the supernatural, and when the generation of Minato's grandfather came along, they had already lost all the knowledge of Magecraft and their history, their Magic Crest was also lost when a Devil had killed Minato's Great-Grandfather, Minato Hyoudou who was a well known Dead Apostle hunter, The Devil had killed and then stolen the magic crest, but thankfully, there were built-in safety measures in the crest which resulted in the agonizing death of the Devil when it tried to merge the crest with its body as well as the destruction of the crest.

Zelretch theorized that Issei, Minato's younger brother was born with a sacred gear due to the fact that his grandfather had been also born with a sacred gear, although he had never awakened it in his life and was ignorant of the fact that his family was always being watched by the Sorcerers and the spirit of the earth and mankind.

Minato snorted and stared at Zelretch before leaving the building, heading towards his hotel to gather his luggage and go home, Zelretch could do nothing but sigh at the stubbornness that was displayed by Minato, just like any other Dragonborn would in his situation.

"Truly, your kind is a big headache for me Dovahkiin, always so stubborn like the Nords that were your ancestors and so easy to anger just like the dragons whose blood you inherit, but, it is also your natural inclination to protect that which belong to you that serves as your saving grace" he mumbled as he disappeared in a Kaleidoscopic portal.

"stupid Zelretch and his stupid rules" I mumbled as i headed towards the airport, ready to return home after my long trip.

A lot of things have happened in the past years which had thrown my understanding of this world out of the window.

I had learned of the heritage of the hyoudou, I had learned of the situation with Gaia and Alya, i had learned of the unique situation I am in.

For starters, I had learned that unlike the anime and Visual novel, Fate/Stay night, Alya and Gaya did not exist in this world due to the fact that the Age of Gods never came to an end, making it so that Magecraft and True Magic were much more powerful than in their counterpart, I was also shocked to hear the situation of the Hyoudou family and started to suspect that some kind of a conspiracy was being hatched in the dark when I heard about what the Nine Divines had said.

At first, I was confused. If Gaia does not exist, then how come the dead apostles are still around?. In the original novel, Gaia had asked Type moon to help her fight humanity and the result was the birth of Dead Apostles. Turns out, even without Gaia, Type-Moon had still decided to send down Dead apostles to fight humanity, the only change was that the Gods from various pantheon did not take kindly to this, especially the Hindu and the Christian God who was still alive at that time. The result was a once sided beatdown for Type-Moon by Zelretch, The Hindu Trinity, and the Christian God and finally, Zelretch landed the killing blow and ended her. This new fact also explained to me as to why Zelretch was not in his weakened state as he was originally supposed to be in the original series, thanks to the intervention of the two pantheons, Zelretch was never truly injured by Type-Moon unlike his counterparts in many different universes.

Thanks to this fact, even to this day, Zelretch still holds a great deal of power in the Magus Association and his authority shows in his actions.

I had learned that, just like in the series, The Fourth Holy Grail War had indeed taken place and mostly followed cannon until the destruction of the grail.

By the Grail was destroyed by Saber, Zelretch had finally persuaded 70% of the Magus Association that the Grail was beyond salvation and need to be eliminated, as a result, he along with a task force consisting of over 40 Enforcers arrived at Fuyuki through the Kaleidoscope, just in time to watch the Fuyuki fire, but Zelretch did not back down, he had ordered a search and rescue, after hours of searching, they finally found the Magus Killer along with his new adopted son who was trying to sneak out of the city when Kiritsugu spotted the Enforcers, but thanks to Zelretch's assurance and help, he was finally allowed to go back to his house, but soon after Zelretch had Enforcers escort Kiritsugu back to his house in Fuyuki, he had also sensed that one of the servants from the war had achieved incarnation and that the soul of Irisveil had not yet completely consumed by Angra Mainyu. He immediately moved to save Irisveil as he used the Kaleidoscope to lock away the God of Evil, surprisingly, the reason why Irisveil's soul had managed to survive was that she was almost about to achieve the third true magic, Heaven's feel. Zelretch decided to help her and made it somewhat easy for her to achieve the magic and she did not disappoint, within two hours, she had finally achieved the magic that her family had been after ever since the founder had died. After she recovered, she reunited with Kiritsugu and together, they managed to get Illyasveil away from the Einsberns while Kiritsugu had personally ended Jubstacheit, while this was going on, Zelretch had managed to find Zouken Matou and turned him into a dead apostle, finally bringing the worm back to his sanity by repairing his fractured soul, when he realized what kind of messed up things he was doing to his adopted granddaughter and grandson, he had immediately decided to pass on all of his inheritance to his grandchildren while he asked Zelretch to escort him to the church so that he can be ended by them as atonement, even though Zelretch was unwilling, he still took Zouken to the Magus side of the Church in the Vatican where they performed a ceremony, ending the worm for good.

When the talk about Holy Grail Wars began, I could not help but ask Zelretch as to how it was even possible, in the cannon, 'the throne of heroes' was a dimension created by Alaya to act as the defenders of humanity should there ever be a need, much like her counter guardians, however, since Alaya does not exist, how can the Throne even exist?, the answer I received was shocking enough to cause me to go silent.

Apparently, instead of Alaya creating the Throne of heroes, it was instead created by the combined power of the entire Norse pantheon, it was originally created to serve a purpose similar to that of Valhalla, where brave warriors of mankind would spend their time in after death, but gradually, it became something like an afterlife for every single hero, villain, anti-hero, saint and sinner, no matter the religion they followed in life, all souls that are judged worthy by the throne itself would be automatically stored in the Throne.

Even though I had some more things to ask Zelretch, like how are the Nine Divines even able to interact with this dimension, or just how is it possible for magecraft and the calculation based magic of the other systems even compatible in this world, but to protect my sanity I decided to learn about those at some other time.

After all, the things I learned are enough to cause me to go insane if it were not for my new body and my cheat Items.

The plane soon landed back in Kuoh as I headed for a taxi, but the moment I got home was when I realized that what I feared the most came to pass.

For as I stood in front of Issei's room which had it's door conveniently opened, I stared as a redhead girl dressed up as my idiot brother gawked at her.

"Fos ausul????"(What the hell??)

This time, I could not stop myself from cursing in Dovahzul
