A day before Sonic slipped on a rock and got sent to the hospital.

An incident happened at the hero association base in A-city. A human male that fit the category of a low-life or a criminal, slaughtered a lot of other criminals that were called by the association to join and help the association cause in preventing the prophecy of 'Earth Is in Danger' Prophet, Lady Shibabawa.

In the midst of what could barely be called a discussion, a man with white hair and a simple long-sleeved shirt with a white Gi pants held by a yellow scarf on his waist, started saying that he's the God-level threat that was prophesized. After that, things went south.

He beat up everyone there until an inch of their life and named himself.

"Remember this well inside those heroic shit filled head of yours. My name is Garou!" He stopped and looked at the hiding Sitch and smiled sinisterly. "'Monster, Garou!" After that he escaped from the hero association.

Leaving a trail of bodies behind him.

When King opened his eyes it's already past noon. He ran his eyes over the room and sees that Saitama is still fast asleep with a giant snot ball on his nose. The other thing he notices is that Genos is nowhere to be seen.

He assumes that maybe there's a call from the association on something.

Still laying down on the futon that Genos offered -Which he was really thankful for- he opened his Hero Association limited production phone. He checked and indeed, there was a call from the association that he missed.

'Well, Genos Bro is there, so he'll probably share whatever info he got from the association.'

'You sure are taking it easy huh, Master?' Enkidu said with its usual serene tone.

'Huh? Is it about the call from the association? If it's about that, I only go if it's truly urgent and mandatory. Besides, there's Genos Bro there so it's not that much of a problem.'

'Well, I think I'll trust your judgment on that master, as I have no knowledge on how things work in this 'Hero Association' that you associate with,' King noticed Enkidu has a slight condescending tone when it said 'Hero Association'. 'But what I'm referring to is more of a problem in your body.'

King tried to ask what do you mean as he tries to get up.

"ARGH!"

But King let out a sudden scream of pain as he tries to get up, and throw his body back to the futon. He reached out his hand to the source of the pain. His legs

As King struggles and let out grunts and groans of pain, he heard a pop beside him. Turns out it's Saitama's great snot bubble that popped. Sending bits of snot on his face.

"ARGH!"

King desperately wipes the snot of his face. Face scrunched up in disgust as he spit out any contents that in the off chance get inside his mouth. Unfortunately, King desperate struggle causes him to move his legs, which is currently in quite a lot of pain.

"ARGH!"

King's Three is a charm scream was cut short as he tries to damp the voice so he didn't wake Saitama.

'So, this is what Enkidu is talking about! I heard that it'll hurt tomorrow, but I never imagined it'll be to this degree!'

As King lamented and bear the pain as much as he could he heard a voice in his head again.

'Oh my, poor master…' King suddenly stops struggling and momentarily forgot about his pain. As the voice that he's hearing right now is not that of Enkidu. 'Do you want me to make the pain go away…?'

'Eh…? Enkidu? Is that you?' King is a little bit on guard as he didn't know who this new voice is.

'Ah! Lancer-san is in the back right now. She says she's—' Suddenly the voice, which weirdly sounds like the voice of a little girl stopped.

'...Lancer, I almost forgot that what Enkidu called itself before… Uhm, what's wrong are you alright?'

'Master… no, it's just… I'm confused.' The voice sounds unsure. 'Uhm, about Lancer-san. Do you know Lancer-san gender? Lancer-san is so beautiful at first glance and I assume that she's a she, but! There're just some things bothering me… so, I'm not sure if Lancer-san is a boy or a girl.'

'So, it's about that… well it said that it's neither though, maybe you can talk to it later to get to know it better?' King said patiently as if talking to a child.

'Umm… okay, I'll do my best.' King smiled a little at that.

'Yes, that'll probably be for the best. Well, who are you? My name is King, and if you calls Master, then does that mean…'

'Yes! I'm servant Caster, Medea. I-I… it's a pleasure to meet you Master!' Caster, Medea finished nervously.

King is confused about all this codename like thing. Enkidu call itself a Lancer, and now, Medea, call herself Caster. Enkidu said something about the cards that he picked, that he called servants using those cards.

'Yeah, nice to meet you to Medea-chan. Uhm, can I ask you a question?'

'Hm? What is it Master?' If he could see her, her head is probably tilted to the side in question.

'it's about the servant thing. Are there anymore of you in there?'

'Huh? Yes, there are. You didn't know Master? There are eight of us including Lancer-san and I'

'Eh!? Eight!? I thought that will only be 2 or more but there're Eight!? Seriously!?'

'Seriously. Master picked up all the class cards, right? In each of that cards lay one servant representing the class engraved on the card. If you have all the cards then you automatically formed a contract with all eight servants.' Medea explained, her tone taking a superior tone to it as if she's a master teaching her disciple.

'Is that how it is?' King finally understood what those cards is. Even though Enkidu explained what it was, it never explained any details. Maybe, it deemed such information unnecessary.

'Yes! It is so. But… there is something strange though…' Medea reverted back to her normal tone; her voice uncertain once again.

'What is?' King asked, a little worried that Medea who seems knowledgeable about this has something she found strange.

'It's about the magic consumption. Normally, a master controlling just one servant need a quite a lot of prana or the servant they have will not perform optimally. More so, if the servant is like Lancer-san. Lancer-san from what I've seen is no doubt a first-rate servant. The prana needed to bring out Lancer-san original potential is huge. Adding to that, Master has 7 other servants, even though inactive, they still consume prana over time. I'm having trouble in figuring out just how all of this is possible.' Medea finished her long explanation with a sigh.

'Heh… So that's the problem. But, there's nothing wrong with me that need to be worried about, right?' He asked just to make sure.

Well, if that what happened, when you think about it a little indeed it is weird. Just how in the world could he control so many powerful beings at once? Medea let out a breath of triumph when King asked about his body condition.

'Of course, your body is fine Master! With me as your servant, rest assured that no harm will come your way.' Medea paused for a bit. 'Ah! But there's your muscle pain in your legs right now Master. Would you like me to heal it?'

King considered this for a moment, and then asked a question of his own.

'Won't healing this muscle pain stunt the growth of my muscle?' If the pain that he painstakingly endured for a moment is just going to be redo than maybe he won't heal it.

'Ah, you don't need to worry about that Master,' King feels that Medea puffed her chest in pride. 'I may be not that good at offensive magic, but I'm proficient in healing magic. Which do you like? Do you want to only take away the pain? Or would you like it if I fasten your body regeneration? If it's at this level, a simple spell is enough.'

'Then, I'll take the pain killer please. Increasing the speed of my regeneration sounds dangerous.'

'Okay! Then, Master? Would you like me to look up what's powering us servants? I am knowledgeable in Magecraft and anything surrounding it, I'm a Caster after all.'

Slowly King could feel the pain in his legs reside and disappears completely. But as it is just a pain killer the actual damage is still there so he's gotta take it easy for a while.

'Oh yeah, if you can do that please, it'll be nice to have some more answer. Thank you, Medea-chan.'

'Understood, Master!' Even though He couldn't see her face, Medea sure sounded happy.

King tested his legs for a bit and finds that the pain is really gone from his legs. With this he could at least get home easily without feeling any pain.

'Oh! I almost forgot! Master, do you want to see where the others are? if you do let's go to the Card Chambers.' Medea said a bit excitedly.

Hearing the exited Medea made King smiles a little. He's already fond of the Caster-class Servant.

'Well, I think it's okay. I'm quite interested on what Enkidu's doing right now too. Eh, you don't need to gain control over my body? That was what Enkidu did last time though.'

'No, Master. Just close your eyes and imagine that you're inside a big room in your mind.' Medea said.

As per instructed, King closes his eyes and imagined himself in a big room. He feels odd. Like he the air is changing around him. When he opens his eyes, he's in a familiar hall.

'Oh, hello Master! It's nice to meet you in person.'

King turned around to the source of the voice. And he finds a girl around middle school age, probably 14 or 15, standing there.

She's wearing a light purple garment, like that of a robe, but it's rather, revealing. Not to the point it's being indecent but it did show quite a bit of skin.

On her hand is a long wand, not unlike that of a magical girl that he often watches in anime. She's wearing a pure smile on her face, looking at him with bright, straight eyes.

Seeing girl her age smiles like that and acting her age, put a smile on his face.

"Hey, Medea-chan. It's nice to meet you in person too." King look around the hall, he remembers these huge doors. If he recalls correctly every door was closed except for the one with the drawing of a spear. But now, it seems that door is closed to. And the door with the Wand drawing on it is opened.

"Oh, Is that your room Medea-chan?" King pointed to the opened door.

Medea followed his fingers and nodded in confirmation.

'Yes! That's my room.' Medea look at her master with curiosity in her eyes. 'Master, you interested of what's inside my room?'

"Honestly, I am a bit interested in what inside these huge doors." King looked over to all the other doors again. "Just what are these anyway? If it's a servant room, how is it that there're only two of you that's out here with me? Did the others doesn't want to meet me yet?"

'Hmm. No, I don't think that's the case Master. I think they just don't feel the need to get out yet. So, they just lay dormant in their room. Some of them maybe took that course of action to preserve your use of magical energy, so that you won't dry up so quickly.' Medea explained as she gestured for her master to follow her to her room.

King followed silently behind her, thinking on what she said.

"Wow, that's so considerate of them to think like that." King is a bit moved, by his servants' consideration for him, even though they haven't meet each other yet.

Medea who hears King's thought as clear as day, let out a nervous chuckle. Which King noticed.

"Eh? What's the matter Medea-chan?" King asked. Confused on why she's laughing suddenly.

'Uhm. That is probably some of the reason but,' Medea stop and fiddles with her thumb a bit, looking away from King. 'Most of the reason is probably because, we servants is not exactly on good terms with each other…'

King feels his jaw loosen when he heard this. Small bead of sweat rolls down his face.

"Eh? Isn't that bad!?"

Seeing her Master started to panic she tries to reassure him that it's not THAT bad.

'Master! Don't worry! It's not THAT bad. We are certainly not hostile with each other, but we aren't comfortable enough to relax and have tea together on the same table either. It's just servants' problem, probably…' Medea finished uncertainty.

"I see. So, that's why all this time you're calling Enkidu by its not class not its name." Medea stops at her feet and turned to her master; her eyes are widening a bit. "Personally, I'll like for all of you to get long with each other though. But I guess I can't force you. I do will try to help you guys get along though. It's better to be friends than enemy anyway."

'I'm surprised. You're quite observant Master.' Medea smiled, honestly impressed by her master observant nature. Hearing her praise, King just smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek.

"It's not a big deal. I'm just more observant because some of all the game that I play required me to pay attention to every line of dialogues."

'Oh! Those shiny moving people inside your TV! I see! So, it has that kind of uses.' Medea's eyes are sparkling with innocent curiosity.

As they chatted like that, they reached the big door with a wand drawing on it.

'Welcome Master. This is my room.' Medea said, spreading her arms wide showing of her room.

What King thought to be an altar or something turns out to be a luxurious room fitting to be a room for royalty in the medieval age. Or in this case, a princess.

"Wow…" is all King could got out of his mouth.

'How is it? Cute right?'

"Yeah, it is. It's also elegant and luxurious. Medea-chan were you a princess when you live?"

Medea nodded her head, yes. After being given a tour of her room by an excited looking Medea, King and her went to the other doors in the hall.

Now they stood in front of a giant door with a fire-like icon on it. it's so quite he can't hear anything from it.

"It's quite." 'It is right?'

They stood in front of the door with the goat icon on it. They could hear the clanking sound in there.

"It sounds busy." 'I know, right?'

They're in front of the door with a skull-like item. Nothing could be heard from inside.

"It's another quite room, huh?" 'Yes.'

They went to the next door—

'Ah! This is my room.' "it is."

The door with the knight chess piece. Weirdly sounds of wave could be heard.

"Could it be, a beach?" 'Wow, I'd love to visit Rider-san's room next time.'

The door with the bow. Huh, there's sound like that of a burning furnace.

"It sounds like it'll be hot in there." 'It is…'

The door with the Sword. They could hear the sound of a gentle breeze.

"It's windy in there." 'I think it's a nice place to take a nap…'

Finally, they reached what's supposed to be Enkidu's room. King gulped and push the seemingly heavy door open with ease.

King and Medea is in a trance, as suddenly in front of them is the picturesque beauty of nature. Butterflies are flying everywhere. A water fall streams makes a calming background sound. And a fresh air that cleansed your lungs.

Near the water fall is Enkidu. It seemed to blend in well with the scenery. He noticed their presence and approach them. The first to open their mouth is Medea.

'Wow, Lancer-san, your room is really nice. It's so calming and peaceful here.' The words that comes out of her mouth is that of compliments.

"Yeah, I agree. This truly is beautiful." King followed in the compliment as he looks around.

Enkidu just smiled a little and nodded, accepting their compliments.

'I see that master is finally here. So, I assume that you've heard about the condition down here with us servants?'

King and Medea looks at each other before King said his piece.

"I heard that you guys are not exactly on good terms with each other, right? I think that won't be good for us working together in the future," Enkidu nodded.

'I agree.'

"So, I've been thinking, why don't we start by calling each other by our names? I'm sure we can work something else when we are familiar enough to call each other name." King said. His face held hope that Enkidu and Medea will accept his proposal.

'If that's what you're asking than I don't have any particular reason to disapprove.' Enkidu said looking at Medea, who returned its gaze with a smile on her own.

'Of course! I don't have a problem either. Right, Enkidu-san?'

'Yes, Medea.'

Both of them shared a smile. King is a little bit confused though. It's too easy.

Seeing their Master confusion, they told him what happened.

'Actually, Master. Enkidu-san and I was trying to see if Master would be able to handle many divertive servants or not, so we thought this up so we could see if you would at least try to make us a bit friendlier with each other.' Medea said with a smile.

'And it seems that you pass, Master. The whole problem may not be solved. But now we know that you have the hearts to do it.'

King stared at them bewildered. So, this is their true intention. He feels relieved that he somehow had been able to satisfy them in a way. Everything turns out good in the end.

"I see. So that's what it is. Then I assume that we're done here then?" King said as he let out a chuckle.

Medea nodded with a smile along with a slow nod from Enkidu.

"Well then, Medea-chan I'm counting on you on that research." Medea nodded again. "And I'll be counting on you from now on as well Enkidu."

'Yes, you can use me however you see fit, Master.'

With a last glanced at his servants, King consciousness returns to reality.

Oh god finally done. I'm sorry if there're weird sentence or grammar. I was confused on how to write this chapter and where to end it. But I decided to write it like this. Leave your thoughts and criticism as usual guys.

This is chapter 6… Ow, my back.

Next chapter: 16 April 2021
