I decided to rewrite (only minor changes regarding the perspective) the chapter after getting a good input.

New chapter will come out before end of the month so just stay tuned.


The two spent a few days looking around, seeing if they could find a master nearby, the types who were new to the war like them. Technically, Rin is also new to this, but compared to others, she was ready... Or at least that's what she keeps telling her servant. Everything went smoothly... It was supposed to at the very least.

It all started when Tohsaka Rin went to school. Instantly as soon as they stepped in. She whispered.

"Minato. Be careful, there's a boundary field in the area."

he nods. Minato also felt the magic when it as soon as he stepped in the school's vicinity, it was the sort that could easily be evaded as soon as you felt it, he felt a little itchy feeling being in this area. Possibly a magic that sucks in the vitality or magic of others.

The others won't be able to see him since Rin specifically trained regarding on how to hide the physical form, it's amazing to think that she really is new to this whole Grail War thing.

"Luckily, it's not yet complete. It's definitely setting up though, what do you think Rin?"

Rin nodded.

"It doesn't matter what I think, all I know is I'm going to beat him up for doing this. It doesn't matter who he is."

Minato couldn't help but smile. She really is becoming more and more like Yukari, his thoughts wander about teasing her, would she hit you just like Yukari did? Pretty sure she would do even worse.

"What are you grinning about, Minato?"

She looks pissed. Minato told her he remembered a part of his past, he didn't say what part though, She luckily let it go.


The Classes peacefully started not knowing the danger it was currently in.

And soon, the school ended. Minato and Rin went to search for the seal used to make this boundary field and hopefully, destroy it.

Minato was able to find all seven of them, the both of them are staring at the seventh seal, hope was currently lost when she said.

"Damn it. This is a seal I can't destroy."

By the looks of it, it's the type that can be deactivated but easily activated again. Unless destroyed, nothing will work.

"Rin, this is a type of seal that can easily be used by anyone right?"

She nodded at his question.

"Then, will you use it?"

She instantly glared at him when he asked, but Minato chose not to notice her glare and continued with his question.

"In a battle, the stronger your group is, the better your chances of winning, this abomination was made so that whoever made this would have a higher chance in winning. So I ask you again. Will you use it?"

At his words, her glare softened and a smug grin showed up on her face.

"Minato. If you hated it that much you should've just told me. Why would you even ask me if I'll use it? Of course I won't, Isn't that the point of why we're trying to break it?"

Minato could only grin himself, she was right, this was something he hated. Something that uses others as sacrifice isn't going to sit well for him, after all, he did the exact opposite of that when he fought his supposed last battle and sacrificed himself to become a seal.

"In that way, you should stop saying stupid things like that from now on Minato."

He shrugged, with the grin still plastered on his face.

"So what're we gonna do now?" Was the only question he could ask her.

"Best thing I can do right now is to weaken it until we find whoever put this thing in the first place."

"Abzug Bediunung Mittelstand!"

Magic was surging around. Invading, destructing and stopping the magical array when a voice sounded from somewhere called out.

"You're going to destroy it? Seriously? What a waste."

Rin, in her surprise, stopped what she was doing as the both of them looked towards the location of the voice, there they saw a man wearing all blue.

A few good seconds passed by as Minato and Rin looked at the man whom, even while being glared at made no move to do anything. Rin decided to destroy the fickle silence in the small area by asking out a few things running on her mind.

"Is this... You're doing?" She boldly and calmly asked, the man however only raised his arms and shrugged.

"Of course not. Petty tricks are the magi's job. We only fight when told. Right?" he glanced at their direction... No. He was looking at Minato. He asked him himself, there was only two possible reasons. One, either it's a high ranked magician master or...

"I knew it... A servant." Rin spoke out loud, audible enough for the blue man to hear. He snickered.

"That's right. Since you can tell what I am, I can consider you as an enemy right?" As soon as he said those words, the already heavy tension in the air rose to a whole new level, so much so that the blood thirst coming from the man would easily knock someone's legs to submission.

Normally, when a person is under this much blood thirst, the person under it would either run, cower or strike back, but Rin didn't, she was clearly afraid, that much is evident, but she didn't take her eyes off the man. She stood tall even against someone she knew was clearly much stronger than her.

Considering that the man in front of them is clearly quite powerful, Rin was amazing on that regards.

Minato started getting ready to move, if all goes down, getting ready to jump in sounds the best course of action... Fighting against that person however will not be easy.

A few seconds were wasted into silence and Rin immediately turned around and ran as fast as she could, Minato followed her by her side and summon the compendium.

Instantly, the man in blue was already right behind Rin before Minato even had a chance to react, Rin however was more than ready as she sped up and jumped from the rooftop.

"Vox, gott es Atlas! Archer!" This time around, Minato's senses were fully awake and was more than ready to catch her.

As soon as the both of them hit the ground, Rin ran immediately but the man was still right behind her, the spear in his hand directly pointed at Rin's back.

Minato quickly went in between the strike with the compendium as a makeshift shield as a loud clang sounded off as the spear hit the book instead.

"Archer!" As soon as she called, Minato showed himself towards the man, he holds the spear in a ready position, he seems familiar but stuff like these are better not remembered during battles.

"So you finally decided to show yourself huh?"

"Spear. Servant Lancer then." Minato chose to ignore the blue man's quips as he questioned him.

"That's right, and since we're both servants here... It's a fight. Get your weapon. No worry, I'll wait. Unless that book is your weapon?"

'Weapon? What weapon can I use against him?' Truth be told, you have fought against shadows, monsters born from desires of other human beings. Though ferocious, their thinking wasn't the best and was easy to fight against, except for a few special ones.

But now... It's a real live one. Even the fight from Jin and the others were hard enough... This will be the hardest... Second hardest fight he'll get if that's the case.

"Well? Are you ready?" Lancer called out. He was now in a leaping position, in fact, Minato felt like the sooner he says 'go' the sooner he'll jump closer.

With no time to lose, Minato focused as a voice called him in his head and a card appeared in front of him.

Persona Change!


Sorry for the long Hiatus btw. Peace.
