"This sucks. I was praying that I wouldn't be summoned by mistake, but I see my hope was misplaced. Showing self-restrained is difficult, regardless of one's age. I guess I'll just flounder around pointlessly. I came here in response to a voice calling for me. What kind of moron would needless call a servant like me?"

Chapter 4: Calling

"M…..!"

Whose voice is that? I don't know.

"Mas….!"

I can't make it out still. Who is it?

"Mast..!"

What is the voice trying to say?

"Can't you hear me? Hey! Maste.!"

"Senpai?" a light voice asked as I slowly opened my eyes, "w-what?" I asked as I saw Sakura staring down at me, "Oh my. You are finally awake thank goodness!" I looked confused, "Sakura-san?" I asked looking confused I was in the nurse's office? "You been out for hours now I was starting to worry." Hours? It been that long?

"How did I get here? Did someone with white hair bring me here?"

"White hair? No I found you here when I came back to the nurse's office." She plainly told me, "What? But…I thought archer brought me here." I quickly told her, "Archer? Who's that?" she asked, "Eh?"

"I don't know anyone called Archer."

What? But I thought someone was working in the lunch room with that name. Am I wrong?

"Isn't there someone working in the lunch room with that name?"

"No."

I couldn't help but look even more confused. Who brought me here then?

"I'm sorry I don't know who brought you here. But sense you are here. It is safe to say you have a servant now." Sakura quickly told me, "A…Servant?" I asked wondering what she was talking about, "Yes you wouldn't be here now if you didn't have one." She explained to me, "You have made a contact with a servant just look at your hand." She told me as I stared down at my hand. I saw a red mark on it.

"Eh? What's this?"

"That shows you have a servant. That mark is the contract." She explained more to me, "So…what is this servant like?" I asked as she laughed, "That is hard to say there are many servants of all kinds of classes, Saber, Archer, Lancer, Caster and so on. Each server has their own class and skills." I couldn't help but wonder what a servant truly is. "Your own room will be on the second floor of the school. I'm sure you can find out who is your servant there. He or she will appear before you in that room." In my room? I guess I'll have to go there to meet my servant then.

I wonder what my servant is like.

Soon I entered my room it looked like a normal dorm. With a bed, desk, closet and bookshelves. Nothing really all that different. I searched around the room but didn't find anyone but myself here. Where could my servant be?

"You only have to ask master." A voice said from behind me as I turned around a man in red appeared before me and I gasped, "A-Archer?" his eyes wide a bit, "So you finally remember me?" He asked with a small grin across his face, "Of course I do! You were working in the lunch room!" he quickly frowned at me, "That's all you remember huh?" he asked.

"Eh?" he sighed at me, "I guess it was too much to hope for…" he quickly said to himself. I wonder what he was talking about, "oh well…I guess it can't be helped. Master…if you haven't guessed I am your servant." He quickly told me, "I am of archer class as my name says. But it is also my name so please call me archer." I told her. She quickly nodded to me.

I guess I was hoping for too much. Of course she can't remember.

"So I have a question."

"Ok, what's the question?"

"What is a servant anyways?"

"A servant is a hero from a past life, reborn into the holy war to protect their own masters from others. We are kind of ghosts from past life. If you wish you can just think of me as your guardian and shield from any danger you will encounter." I told her, "Oh I guess that makes sense."

"Many other people will have servants as well. Your goal is to be the last one standing. So you can claim the holy grail."

"Holy grail? You mean that one that gives wishes?"

"Yes but this one only gives one. It is called that but it isn't the real Holy Grail so don't get your hopes up." She looked like she was thinking about everything I had told her now. She is air head sometimes. But no matter what she always finds a way through things. But I did miss this.

"Well I guess….I look forward to working with you Archer." She smiled at me and then I almost lost it. Just her smile was more than enough right now. "Yeah, same thing here, Master." I smiled back at her.

I shouldn't feel this happy. She is in great danger again because I made a contract with her against her will. But I did it to save her. I know it was only the way. I just have to keep protecting her now.
