[k] ＠Goredolf True, Chaldea doesn't enjoy the best reputation at the Clock Tower. I can't count how many times I've heard them say things like... [k] ＠Goredolf “Their magecraft theories are nonsense,” and, “They're just a bunch of incompetent frauds,” or, “They're a disgrace to the Twelve Lords”... [k] ＠Goredolf To hear them talk, you'd think they were discussing a problem child they wished had never been born. [k] [charaFace E 2] ＠Goredolf But not me. I believe there's tremendous value to be found here. Chaldea shows real promise! [k] [charaFace E 0] ＠Goredolf ...Or, at least it will once I'M instated as director! [k] [charaFace E 1] ＠Goredolf At any rate, when I learned that Chaldea was being broken up into seven parts and auctioned off, I made my decision and took action. [k] ＠Goredolf I used the entirety of the Musik family fortune to buy all Chaldea's assets and prevent its dismantling. [k] ＠Goredolf You see, the Clock Tower people were desperate to get their hands on technology they could bring back to their respective departments.

[k] ＠Da Vinci All I know about Father Kotomine is that he's from the Holy Church[line 2]another organization that's long butted heads with the Mage's Association. [k] ＠Da Vinci As their name suggests, the Holy Church is a mysterious organization based on a religion that has followers all around the globe. [k] ＠Da Vinci They see Mystics as something that's solely under their domain, and suffer neither magecraft nor heresy in the name of their Lord. [k] ＠Da Vinci Their mission is more or less to bring all human knowledge under their control. [k] ＠Da Vinci They were a lot more aggressive about that back when I was alive, but nowadays they seem to be playing their cards much closer to their chest. [k] ＠Da Vinci I'm guessing that priest must be part of their combat team. Executors, I think they call them. [k] ＠Da Vinci They're supposed to be devotees of the blade who spread God's teachings in His absence. That's all you need to know about them. [k] ＠Da Vinci These Executors are both faithful and heretical... Monsters who fight the mages and mystical creatures.

Now that we have an agreement,[sr]my dear [%1], here's my first question: [k] ＠Koyanskaya How much do you know about Chaldea? [k] ＠Koyanskaya I'm told you were scouted in some random country and brought here directly... [k] ＠Koyanskaya ...but no matter how you slice it, you were born into a commoner's family. I bet you didn't even know the first thing about magecraft before you came here, did you? [k] [charaFace F 6] ＠Koyanskaya No, no. Don't answer. It's all over your face. Hmm...[sr]I see. So you had a strong aptitude for Rayshifting. [k] ＠Koyanskaya I can't believe you came all this way on that alone.[sr]Do you even know where you are? [k] ＠Koyanskaya They probably didn't even tell you which country Chaldea is located in, did they? [k] ？1：All I know is we're on a very tall mountain... ？2：...Now that you mention it... ？！ [charaFace F 20] ＠Koyanskaya You're at the heart of one of the most secluded areas in the world, one not in the borders of any nation. An unobservable mountain that's been hidden behind a barrier of magecraft for hundreds of years. [k] ＠Koyanskaya Had Chaldea actually told you where you'd be going when they recruited you, I doubt you'd have ever signed up. [k] [charaFace F 9] ＠Koyanskaya I can practically see your protests, asking if they've lost their mind, expecting you to go so far away. [k] [charaFace F 1] ＠Koyanskaya Trust me, this place is as isolated as you can get. I could show you the six months' worth of paperwork it took to buy this place to prove it. [k] [charaFace F 0] ＠Koyanskaya But, never mind that.[sr]It doesn't concern you, anyway. [k] ＠Koyanskaya The thing I'm dying to learn more about is the original forty-eight Masters. [k] ＠Koyanskaya Of those, nine are still here: Mash Kyrielight,[sr]the seven Team A masters in cryostorage, and you. [k] ＠Koyanskaya The other thirty-nine have been revived and sent home. [k] ＠Koyanskaya No doubt they went back to living their lives in peace, but the thing is, their personal information still goes for a very high price. [k] ＠Koyanskaya And why wouldn't it? Now that it's been proven that Rayshifting is possible, each of those candidates is worth their weight in gold. [k] ＠Koyanskaya But none of them are likely to fetch as high a price as Team A. They were the seven people who were originally meant to save the world, not you. [k] [charaFace F 18] ＠Koyanskaya Oh, wait, that's not right, is it?[sr]Let me rephrase that. [k] ＠Koyanskaya The seven people from whom you stole the opportunity of a lifetime. [k] [messageShake 0.05 5 5 0.5] ＠Fou Fo... Fooou![sr]Nnn, kyu kyuuu!

[k] [charaFace F 17] ＠Koyanskaya Now then, tell me:[sr]How much do you know about those seven people? [k] ＠Koyanskaya Don't tell me you've never heard ANYTHING[sr]about them the whole time you've been here? [k] ＠Koyanskaya They're your great senpai, after all. I'm pretty sure even Mash knows a thing or two about them. [k] ＠Koyanskaya After all, they were training together to be Masters long before you even knew what Chaldea was. [k] ？1：I... ？2：... ？！ [charaFace F 13] ＠Koyanskaya No way. You really have NO idea? Never mind their magecraft affinity; you don't even know their NAMES? [k] [charaFace F 9] ＠Koyanskaya You're kidding! I didn't know you[sr]were so coldhearted, [%1]! [k] ＠Koyanskaya In that case, you really can't blame them if they wake up pissed off at you, can you?

[k] ＠Da Vinci He's also Marisbury's top pupil, and was rumored to be a better heir to the Lordship than Olga Marie. [k] ＠Da Vinci He was expected to forge a contract with a Lancer.

[k] ＠Da Vinci But his kindness more than made up for it, even if it did descend into self-deprecation at times. [k] ＠Mash Yes, I remember.[sr]Kadoc was always concerned for others. [k] ＠Mash ...Though he also had a pessimistic side,[sr]which bothered him as much as anyone else. [k] ＠Da Vinci He was expected to form a contract with a Caster.

[k] ＠Da Vinci He was also the oldest member of the team.[sr]You could say he was a man a bit ahead of his time. [k] ＠Da Vinci He was expected to form a contract with an Archer.

[k] ＠Da Vinci That would be the Folklore Department, or Brishsan, if you're wondering. They deal with otherworldly artifacts.
