"It is time already? Time sure flies."

Murdoch snubbed out the cigarette he was smoking as he heard Zeltretch's voice echoing on the place where he was waiting on. He rose up from where he sat and took a bit of time to stretch his sore muscles a little before going along with the rest of the magi that were there alongside him. It was a honor for him to be invited into this by the Wizard Marshal himself, but Murdoch couldn't help but feel something was amiss with how most of the invited magi were young. Prodigies as these magi were, one would think that the reason why they were here would be something that would benefit from older magi that had more experience. However, Murdoch laughed it off. Of course, it'd be silly if Zeltretch chose these people only from their capabilities. These rash, ambitious youths would surely be a better choice than those stuck-up elites that were too focused on themselves to care about anything else. Or at least, these kids could still be mold into something better, perhaps.

It's just speculation, but Murdoch loved speculation. That's kind of a part of his job description as an archaeologist. 

Inside of his pocket was something he immediately prepared as soon as he knew he got invited here. An old wooden shard that didn't look special on first glance, however, it used to be part of something grander. It was a shard of the Round Table itself, and even after hundreds or perhaps thousand of years had passed, it still carried the traces of Mystery from the knights. In his office Murdoch had many objects of similar nature, but this shard of Round Table he managed to get off a black market was the best catalyst he had. Ah, though the end result shouldn't really matter.

Once he reached the room with the summoning circles, Murdoch situated himself on one of the still empty ones. As he walked there, he took note of the people that were already there. Ah, none of his colleagues were there, quite a shame. Although, these were an interesting bunch too, and it would be fun to see how they perform. He also noticed the Einzbern homunculus, and he frowned a bit. That could be quite problematic. But ah, no use to worry about his comrades, right? He continued his merry way past her, and chose a circle that were just right near hers. He placed his catalyst on there, and now, the only thing he need to do was wait.

Ah, it would be a silly thought, but what if he summoned a fair lady? Being accompanied by one should be nice for this.
