Facing Leonardo da Vinci who came to the rescue, these were Verrocchio's first words as a teacher.
"Well... although I expected that your reaction would be fierce, teacher, but it still made me a little hurt that you would do it so bluntly."
Da Vinci, who looked like the Mona Lisa, walked up to Lawrence with an elegant and reserved smile, and shook his head helplessly.
"Look at you, Lawrence, you're not so embarrassed after London, right?"
Lawrence just glanced at her, ignored her, and silently used his magic to heal his arm.
Verrocchio, who was standing aside, looked at his two most proud students, what should he say...
Suddenly, I felt like my whole life's efforts were in vain.
"Lawrence, I can understand the reason, but, Leonardo, what the hell... is it because of you..."
Covering his face and squatting down, Verrocchio's voice was filled with a broken cry, wishing he could get back to the Throne of Heroes right now.
"How's it going? It's beautiful, isn't it? This is art I'm proud of!" Da Vinci didn't feel self-conscious at all, but showed it to his teacher with a smile.
Verrocchio almost breathed his last breath.
"Leonardo da Vinci...? That guy from Webster's studio? Is he a woman?"
Lorenzo, who was holding the long sword, scratched his head with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.
"No! He's not!" Verrocchio, who was squatting on the ground, quickly got up and retorted loudly.
Lorenzo:......
Lawrence:......
Fujimaru Ritsuka:......?
"Is gender so important? Teacher, I'm just pursuing pure beauty." Da Vinci didn't look angry at all, but instead said to Verrocchio with a smile.
"Shut up, please, Leonardo..." Verrocchio looked at Leonardo da Vinci with a ferocious expression.
"......OK."
Perhaps because he remembered the time when Verrocchio whipped him with a belt, Da Vinci finally shut up.
"Haha, Leonardo da Vinci... like Lawrence, a genius born in this city, a pioneer of stars, is obviously a pioneer, but yet he is so despised by us."
The pillar of Phorcas stood between Lawrence and the others and the palace, and Leonardo da Vinci laughed with a mechanical voice.
"Disgraceful? Someone who escaped from the Temple of Time to save his life is not qualified to say this, right?"
Da Vinci smiled and shook the machine on his shoulder.
"However, I am still very interested in what you said, that there will be no future after 2017."
"Humanity...cannot live without a future."
"Things like that have never made any sense to me."
Forkas stated.
"I said, I only chose my partners out of hatred. The reasonable, brand-new world you destroyed should be realized as it should be."
Lorenzo just smiled and tightened his grip on the sword.
"It's so pathetic that you don't even want to admit your own failure. That's why I'm here. What do you think, Lawrence?"
Lawrence rubbed his already grown arms, glanced at Leonardo da Vinci, and pursed his lips with a smile.
"I didn't expect that the two of us would one day draw a work together as servants."
"Really? I didn't expect that either."
Da Vinci's eyes flashed with a little blue light.
"..."
Looking at the actions of Lawrence and Da Vinci, Lorenzo narrowed his eyes and raised the sword in his hand.
"No matter what you plan to do, you must die here today."
"I said, my orders must be carried out."
"Human nature is inherently stubborn and bad. Standing still will only repeat the mistakes that have been made countless times, so - it must change. This is what I understand after learning about history."
"Humanity - no need for hope! There will be no future for humanity after 2017, which is the best proof!"
"Since you still want to argue, Lorenzo, then we have nothing to say. You have your own ideals and want to achieve an unrealistic 'perfect world', and what we want to do is just save the current existence.
."
Lawrence lowered his body and pressed one of his hands to the ground.
"You want to prove that your ideals are correct by obliterating human nature, but you don't know that your ideals are instilled in you by others."
"Then, let us prove it—"
"You who want to obliterate human beings' right to pursue beauty."
The end of Lawrence's fist has turned into a gem.
"And we who want to protect beauty."
"Which one is stronger and which one is weaker?"
"Lawrence, Da Vinci - in the name of the Command Seal, release the Noble Phantasm with all your strength!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka raised his hand, and the two command spells on the back of his hand lit up at the same time.
"This is the moment when what we call [artists] proves their determination and their right to pursue [beauty]."
Buzz——
Lawrence, light up.
Just like usual, her whole body began to turn into a huge gem.
But what was different this time was that dense gems began to appear in the surrounding sky and on the ground.
"The facts that need to be understood do not belong to the future of mankind. The right to pursue new things is something that all things should have."
Da Vinci stretched one of his hands forward, magic power began to gather, and the entire space even began to buzz.
Lorenzo struck with his sword.
"Simon, free that Noble Phantasm! Stop Lorenzo!"
Giuliano noticed Lorenzo's movements and hurriedly shouted to Simonetta.
"Then, enjoy it - this beauty that all, all, all artists once admired!"
Simonetta had already been waiting where she should be. After hearing Giuliano's words, she immediately jumped up and blocked Lorenzo's path.
"Bow down to true beauty..."
"[La bellezza di Venere si rivela nel mondo] (La bellezza di Venere si rivela nel mondo)."
"Well--"
The familiar feeling of fascination was once again reflected in Lorenzo. Although the cooperation with Forcas made him less human and powerful enough to kill the servants, for Simonetta,
This kind of Noble Phantasm that affects the spiritual level still seems to be helpless.
But before he was confused by Simonetta, he still slashed with his sword desperately.
Just in time, it hit Simonetta.
Before Simonetta could even scream, she was almost split in two by Lorenzo's sword.
