My challenge fic chapter 4,

"Talk" "Saber talking "


Shirou looked around nervously as he walked to school. He watched as people looked at Saber and in some cases going through him. But also in case a Servant like Lancer attacked them. Saber felt a bit of pride as he watched his master glaze around. Not only did he understand the importance of keeping the war a secret but also to watch out for attacks by enemy servant and masters. He then grew thoughtful as he continued his train of thought from last night.

'I have fought Lancer and the red armor wearing servant is Archer by what his master said.' Saber thought then chuckled

'The blue Lancer, the red Archer and the black Saber' he thought then grew serious.

'That means I have yet to meet the other servants.'

That thought partly disturbed Saber, as he had no idea of how strong the other servants were. While even with his decreased stats he should be able to handle Assassin if they fought he was not too sure about the others. Caster he should be able to with his Magic Resistance is a C. Then there is Rider, they usually have low to average stats but their Phantasm could turn the tide depending. Also there was Archer but from what he saw of the white hair servant he didn't have a bow but a pair of swords. It was strange for an Archer to use blades instead of arrows or other types of projectiles. Maybe he did and just preferred short range apposed long range? Then there was Berserker. . .

Saber's paced slowed as he got to that servant. 'That won't be easy depending on who is summoned.' While it as true that the heroes summoned in the berserker class were supposed to be weak that traded sanity for power but the class could also be used to make a powerful servant even stronger. The thought was strange though being on the receiving end of the mad warrior's attacks instead of giving them.

Shirou noticed that Saber was slowing down and was worried. Though it was hard to tell with the suit of armor, "Saber?" he whispered.

Saber then looked up as his name was called. "Yes master?" he asked

"Is something wrong?" Shirou asked as he was the black warrior shock his head.

"No it's nothing." Saber replied

"Are you sure?" Shirou pressed

Saber was in a bind on one hand he could share his thoughts with his master. But on the other hand maybe he shouldn't as he was only just a kid. But he would be in the same danger as he would. Besides it would be ok to share his thoughts with someone he could trust.

"There is . . . I was thinking of the other servants that we have yet to see, Caster, Rider, Assassin and Berserker." Saber admitted

Shirou blinked and said "What find of thoughts?"

"How strong they are compared to Lancer." Saber said

Shirou struggled to comprehend at the thought of stronger servants then Lancer. "What do you mean?" he asked at last "He was strong but you held him off so that we don't have much to worry about right?"

Saber shock his head "No Lancer's have good amount of magic Resistance along with solid stats, thought they all have terrible luck for some reason." Saber said thoughtfully at the last part.

"But you held him off still." Shirou pointed out.

Saber shock his head again "Yes while I held him off I should have been able to defeat him. But I was only able to bring us to a draw. There is also other servant that maybe stronger like archer, rider or Berserker maybe" Saber said

"Maybe?" Shirou asked

"Berserker's are wild cards; you can't really tell how strong they are until you face them. It is an easily abused class."

"How so?"

" Berserker's class skill is Madness enchantment, which exchanges sanity for power. So you can take an already strong servant and make them even stronger." Saber said as Shirou shivered at the thought.

They walked in silence for a while then Shirou said "You said something about holding off Lancer."

"I did I should have been able to beat him but It seemed that I am not receiving enough prana from the link between us." Saber said "Though that maybe because you aren't trying."

"I'm not" Shirou said as he realized he was hindering Saber

"My stats are lower than they should be along with one of my Noble Phantasm not working properly."

"What-"Shirou was interrupted with the bell as he realized that they had walked the entire way to school while talking. He sighed and entered the building.
