Chapter 11: Free Soaring
Even though Waver shouted loudly to stop the horse, it seemed to have no effect. Alexander drove the flickering Bucephalus through thousands of meters in the blink of an eye, with a terrifying climbing speed.
If it weren't for considering that Waver couldn't withstand higher acceleration, the climbing speed would have been even faster.
Not to mention Waver, even a professional pilot couldn't withstand such acceleration. They would probably faint instantly.
The nearly vertical climbing trajectory caused Waver's buttocks to leave the horse's back midway. Waver almost thought he was going to fall off, but fortunately, Alexander quickly pulled him back.
Otherwise, if they fell from this height... Waver would probably become a "Waver pancake."
Unlike "husband and wife lung slices" without any lung or "wife cake" without a wife, a "Waver pancake" would definitely be filled with Waver.
"Hold on tight, master!" Alexander casually placed Waver behind him, pulled the reins, and continued flying into the distance. "I'm going to accelerate!!!"
"No! Let me down! It's too fast, I'll die!" Looking at the small lights on the ground, Waver was so scared that he almost wet his pants. He had to hold onto Alexander with all his strength to prevent himself from falling. The moment he left the horse's back almost gave him a heart attack.
Fortunately, Alexander had a small stature and could hold onto him. Well... although his own height was only 157cm, which was only 6cm taller than Alexander's 151cm.
"By the way, isn't anyone fighting? Isn't this the Holy Grail War?" While maintaining an extremely high speed, Alexander loosened the reins and turned his head down and to the left, but he didn't find any signs of other Servants fighting, feeling a bit disappointed.
In his opinion, the Holy Grail War should be a real confrontation with swords and guns, just like the Olympics.
"Of course! This is the Holy Grail War! Except for people like you who are single-minded, who would come out and challenge others!"
"Also, the Holy Grail War is a battle hidden in the dark. If it is discovered by ordinary people, it will cause big problems!"
Saying that, Waver suddenly noticed Alexander's extremely dangerous movement and shouted loudly, "Hey, hey, hey! Drive properly! You'll die if you fall!"
"Don't worry, my riding ability is A+. Not to mention driving with one hand, even driving upside down and facing the opposite direction, I can perfectly control the mount!" After speaking, Alexander casually released the reins and prepared to stand up. "Well, let me show you first hand."
"Darn it! Can you be normal? I... I'm scared!!!" Seeing Alexander's actions, Waver was instantly terrified, tears streaming down his face. He even felt like he couldn't hold his urine anymore. Originally, upon learning that his summoned Servant was one of the four great military strategists, a man who had established a super empire spanning from Greece to the Indus River in the east, encompassing all of Egypt in the south, and reaching the Black Sea and Armenia in the north within just ten years, Waver thought he must be exceptionally stable. However... after spending just one day with him, Waver was completely certain that this guy was just a brat! An incredibly mischievous brat. Honestly, apart from their height difference, Waver couldn't see any resemblance between this kid and Alexander.
"Well, let's demonstrate after getting down... Huh? Master, there's a reaction from another Servant!" Just as Alexander was about to land on the ground to demonstrate to Waver, he suddenly sensed a strong Servant reaction, instantly becoming excited. And most likely, this reaction was directed towards him.
"Master, you see, I told you! This is war! Someone is challenging us! Since we've been invited, there's no reason not to go!"
"They're not challenging us, they're responding to your challenge..."
"Regardless, let's charge!" As soon as Alexander finished speaking, he pulled the reins, causing Bucephalus to turn around and dash towards the direction of the opposing Servant who had issued the challenge.
During the charge, Bucephalus's speed increased, and more lightning covered its body, forming a layer of lightning "armor" all over. If the Bucephalus cruising in the high sky earlier was like a bat hidden in the night, then now Bucephalus had transformed into a shooting star. Due to the influence of streetlights, it wasn't particularly conspicuous to pedestrians, but it was visible to the naked eye. However, for other participants in the Holy Grail War, it was as glaring as the sun during the day. If this Archer-class Servant participating in the Holy Grail War at this moment disregarded any sense of honor and launched a surprise attack on Waver and Alexander, it would most likely hit its target with deadly accuracy. Fortunately, no Servant attacked them along the way.
With the incredibly high mobility of the Rider-class, within a short span of ten seconds, Alexander was about to reach the location of the opposing Servant's reaction, riding on his warhorse Bucephalus.
At this moment, the hostile Servant was standing on the empty space in front of the gate of the Homurahara Academy, patiently waiting for Alexander's arrival.
"Oh, I can see her now!" Alexander clearly saw the person who had "challenged" him, a woman dressed in crimson armor. "We're landing, master!"
Accompanied by thunderous sounds, Alexander smoothly landed with Bucephalus in the open space in front of the gates of the Homurahara Academy. The impact of the landing cracked the ground and raised a massive cloud of dust. Even the signboard of the school gate, dozens of meters away, fell to the ground due to the intense vibration.
If an unaware person witnessed the scene, they might have thought that a student who didn't want to go to school had come overnight and bombed the entrance.
"Finally arrived, huh? Quite an audacious opening ceremony, but you won't have the audacity for long! You will fall before my... uh...?" As the crimson-clad female Servant spoke with her head held high, before the dust had a chance to settle, she suddenly choked on her words upon seeing the face of the boy on horseback.
"You... you are..."
