Story: 7
I would say the mystery in this short film was actually better than any in the main series as the mystery was entirely solvable by the audience with the clues given. The mystery itself was based on why Waver suddenly became younger and aged back to his late teen years which was fairly amusing to watch.
Most of the focus in the story after this revolves around Waver meeting some of his old classmates and specifically one guy who he wasn't on good terms with and a girl who liked him but he never caught onto her feelings. The girl was involved in an incident that wrecked her ability to be a mage and due to that she never really got to be with Waver after the holy grail war, she decided that she wanted to relive those days with Waver and used an advanced spell that would stick all her old classmates and him back in time during their school days. Watching waver unravel the mystery was fairly fun and there was enough information given to the audience so they could solve it, a noticeable improvement over the main series, overall a solid 7 out of 10.
The visuals and music were also as good as expected, with a decent enough fight scene even if it ended very quickly, and there is another popular Fate series character who appears that fans of the Fate franchise will appreciate. This short film is worth a watch if you enjoyed the original series and wanted some extra story and more background on Waver and his teen years.
