I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

London, the capital of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, is the largest city in Europe and the largest economic and financial center.

In 50 AD, the Romans established Londinium, the predecessor of this city. Over the next more than a thousand years, the city rose and fell in the tide of the times, destroyed and rebuilt several times, and finally became the London it is today.

The core of the city still maintains the boundaries that have been divided since the Middle Ages. There are countless historical places of interest, such as the Tower of London, Towell Castle, St. Paul's Church, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, etc. Some buildings are even more than a thousand years old. . However, compared with the building to be mentioned next, all the places of interest in London are just "younger generations", which is the core and headquarters of the Magic Association - the Clock Tower.

There are two major forces in the mysterious world. They are the "Temple Church", a large armed organization established for the purpose of managing mysteries and hunting heretics as a secret organization of Christianity, and a self-defense group formed by people who study magic regardless of nationality or school. "Magic Society".

The Magic Guild's role is to govern (nominally), conceal magic, and make its development its mission. He maintains force to protect himself from those who threaten him (the church, a strange existence that punishes magic groups other than himself, and those who violate taboos), and he maintains a research institution for the further development of magic (some say to prevent its decline). , laws were enacted to curb magic crimes.

The Magic Association consists of three major departments, namely the Clock Tower in London, the Wandering Sea (Mobile Coffin) in the North Atlantic, and the Atlas Court (Giant's Cellar) in Egypt.

Among them, the Clock Tower, which serves as the headquarters, is the youngest. Its founders include many heretical magicians who were driven away by Atlas and the Wandering Sea. There are two theories about the time of its establishment, one is BC, and the other is the second century AD. Either way, it has a longer history than the name "London". Today, the Clock Tower has become the highest institution of learning in the magic world, gathering a large number of magicians.

When it was established, the headquarters was located underneath the British Museum and was the oldest building in London. Later, due to the development of the organization and the city, it was moved to a small town on the outskirts of London. The town consists of more than 40 student dormitories and more than 100 teaching buildings. In the center of the town stands the original schoolhouse of the Clock Tower and its symbol, a literal clock tower.

Now Shinji was dragging his suitcase and standing in front of the tower, paying homage to the holy place in the name of the heir to a family of little magicians in a remote area. He casually took out his camera and took a few photos of the exterior, and used magic to control the camera to take a few selfies of himself. Shenji thought that this was not in vain.

In the eyes of the passing magician, this scene became a symbol of having never seen the world, and his eyes were filled with a bit of contempt. "

Little did he know that Shenji also despised them:

"A group of people who haven't experienced the ups and downs and think they are academics - as expected, I can't get along with the mainstream of the magic world. It's better to go to Weber's place as soon as possible. At least there doesn't have such an unpleasant atmosphere."

Although the Clock Tower functions as the power center of the Magic Association, it is fundamentally a huge magic academy. The Dean has been the same person since the Clock Tower was built, but this person has long since withdrawn from worldly affairs, let's not talk about it for now.

Since the formation of the lord system in the twelfth century, the Clock Tower has been composed of thirteen colleges (departments), namely overall foundation (Ⅰ), individual foundation (Ⅱ), spirit seance (Ⅲ), ore (Ⅳ), animal ( Ⅴ), inheritance (Ⅵ), plants (Ⅶ), celestial bodies (Ⅷ), creation (Ⅸ), curses (Ⅹ), archeology (Ⅺ), modern magic theory (Ⅻ), and the thirteenth subject of law and politics that governs magicians division.

There are various classrooms under the departments, and the Almeloy classroom inherited by Weber is one of them. The mineralogy department, which was originally under the leadership of Kenneth, is taught by Kenneth himself and is the signature of the department. However, after Kenneth "disappeared", the mineralogy department was leaderless and fell into the turmoil of power disputes. Along with it, the historic Almeloy classroom was in turmoil and gradually declined. Two years after Kenneth "disappeared", it was abandoned by the mineralogy class.

At this time, Weber, who returned to the clock tower, had just completed enough credits and became a third-level lecturer, inheriting this classroom. The reason why a third-rate magician can inherit the classroom is because many families who are not dealing with the El-Meloy faction think this is the greatest irony to Kenneth.

The classroom that I once valued most has declined, and has fallen into the hands of "mediocre" students. I wonder how you, a "genius", feel.

However, no one expected that this "mediocre person" could actually turn the classroom into something presentable in a short period of time. Although at the beginning, even the formal school department was not decided, and the classes were barely continued with only a few students, the extremely simple and easy-to-understand practical classes suddenly became the New Age (New Age) that is not suitable for the Clock Tower. topics between. It even persuaded several lecturers who had failed in the power struggle to take the stage, realizing an unprecedented multi-faceted education system.

Although the current El-Meloy Classroom is not prosperous, it has gained quite a reputation and is unique among modern magic departments.

Shinji randomly found a female magician, called her sister twice because of her young age, and in a cute way, asked for the way to El-Meloy's classroom.

The modern magic department's neighborhood "Silla" is a road that looks like it has been patched. Although the streetscape on the west side looks a bit historical, you can occasionally glimpse modern buildings on the east side near London. The landscape is more like a bandage hiding the wound after major surgery than a lack of unity.

There is a great relationship between environment and magic, which can be seen from the fact that the entire town where the clock tower is located is classically styled. However, the Modern Magic Department is the least valued department among the thirteen departments in the Clock Tower, and it is not as financially wealthy as other departments.

Although I can't say everything, the seven CDs in this world are determined by budget, and this is the same in the world of magic. In the final analysis, the concept of money, which converts the value of the world into numerical values, is also mysterious, so there is nothing we can do about it. The constantly inflating assets on earth are an illusion created by the collective unconsciousness of the concept itself.

“As the saying goes, money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.”

Shenji, who had done his homework before arriving, sighed as he wandered around the ivy-covered brick wall, crossed the ramp, and walked towards the intersection.

Soon, the destination appeared in front of them - the smallest teaching building among the headquarters of the 13th Department of the Clock Tower.

The external view here is that it is an affiliated facility of a certain university. By the way, the teaching buildings of some large departments, such as all basic subjects, are directly disguised as universities, and the gap between departments is evident.

The entrance hall of the teaching building is properly arranged, with the stability and taste valued by British aristocrats, and is also embellished with modern elements, giving people a comfortable feeling of appropriate shades.

However, less than a minute later, this comfort was broken by a sudden scream.

PS: The location of the clock tower was rounded by the traitor himself. Mushroom directly gave two explanations. One is from the underground of the British Museum, Chapter 4 of "Fate grand order", and the other is from "The Clock of 2015" "Tower" and "Second World Event Book" are said in the suburbs.
