A/N: Hello again, people. I am back to give you another updated chapter (13,741) and sorry that it took so long to post this. When you have two weeks of school left and have to do a lot of Finals and Exams, which it is slowing me down. Oh, my god, I did not expect there would be a lot of reviews from the last chapter, like 67 of them, even though almost all of the reviews are just questions and suggestions or ideas for crossover ideas. Which it is going to be hard to reply back without making me look like a jerk in front of you. I will not try to answer all of the reviews because some of your suggestions and ideas are terrible and badly-implemented ideas or just are pure suggestions that sound like a good idea without researching what it is.
Time to answer some of your questions.
Catacus: Lu Bu has a chronic backstabbing disorder, yes all Heroic Spirits that possess unique King titles would meet and talk with each other. Oh, little Jackie, as I must love to summon her soon in chapters, but I want to summon one of the Hassan-i-Sabbah because they have little focus on them and are so uncommon in Fanfics and other fate series, which they have made few debuts in each one which is not funny at all. The Old Man of the Mountain in my story will show how dangerous they can actually be and when used correctly with real life logic.
Master of Dragons God: You are always commenting on my story every time I update new chapters and finally said something which I am happy now. But your idea is a big No. I would not give Benjamin a noble phantasm that is inside of him like Shirou because it is so unoriginal and cliche. I am not trying to turn him to a protagonist with a special hidden powers backstory like all other fanfics and a lot of anime or manga, which many of them are completely unoriginal series where there are several other animes with similar 'hero rises to power' storylines.
It would also not be a training from hell or the spartan way, like how they did with Shirou. Benjamin's training would be simple yet easy to understand with real logic because if you beat your horse, you don't get a stronger horse, you just get a broken, beaten horse. So in real life, stronger horses are almost never beaten ones. I'm not an expert in military training at all and the idea that hellish training regimes produce better troops is the product of idiotic wankery and Sparta fanboyism.
MaxHD2490: I am sure that Benjamin and his sister can handle Alter class as Saber Alter is a dark hero and social Darwinist, so she thinks that Benjamin just needs some training while acknowledging Flanna as her master too. Also, she'll serve Benjamin and Flanna faithfully as a Servant without an issue as she said, "I am no longer a king nor a knight. Just your Servant."
Jeanne Alter, she is fundamentally bitter towards Flanna and Benjamin but because she is based on Joan of Arc, she would manage to shine her kindness through all the bitterness, she still of course immediately denies it.
Cú Chulainn Alter is like Saber Alter. He also serves Benjamin and Flanna faithfully as a Servant without an issue as he said, "I'm just someone unimportant among the Ulster Knights. As a Servant, I'll do what I have to do," and this, "Master and Servant? No need to say anything more. You can just point your finger at someone you consider an enemy." If his My Room Lines are anything to go by, he basically sees himself as a tool to be used by his Master, his own feelings being irrelevant. A Straw nihilist personality which is an extreme version of the Cynic and a specific type of the philosopher.
I know that you running out of servant ideas but just enjoy my story... that's all.
For the Guest reviews, your answers are at the bottom of the chapter.
Flanna felt restless as she flipped through the book that Benjamin gave to her. She looked over everything written down, poured over every word to find everything that she could grasp about the history of the Holy Grail Wars and some other stuff.
It took all of Flanna's willpower to keep herself from fainting with too much information. It was like waking up in a whole new world, especially that it was a dangerous one. She had now seen her world in a whole different view, the world of horrifying things like the Dead Apostles (which is another word for Vampires), Magi that are psychopathic and commits many horrendous crimes for research, and many of other scary shit caught in-between. Slowly she managed to overcome the shock of so many world-shaking revelations.
To make things worse for Benjamin and Flanna, almost everyone around the world was searching for them. The Clock Tower was the headquarters for many Magi, that was full of the best and worst of them being concentrated there in an eternal combination of experimentation and political backstabbing. That Association would punish transgressors severely with death to those who have learned of its existence and their closest associates would be mercilessly crushed for the sake of total concealment. Hell, they would possibly reduce the city into a smoldering crater, and the newspapers or tv media could have to report something about a sudden hurricane of epic proportions, or an unpredictable tsunami that flooded the city leaving no survivors and more importantly, no witnesses.
That last part caused her to stop imagining and had to fight the urge to punch herself in the face. No, Magi couldn't do that at all, because if they could, they should do it right now instead of wasting so much time arriving here in America's land and hunting us down. Oh unless, they are not as powerful as they think, they would. Flanna thought as she continued to read the next page.
The Holy Church, an international religious organization compared to The Mage's Association, who is an international, self-preservative and self-defense organization. This organization is much better than any other one for they hunt down Vampires who suck the blood of humans and infections to other humans, like diseases. They have to be hunted by the Church which holds a great level of animosity towards blood-sucking species. The Church can also coexist with completely different races, beings that are not human can be controlled, so they don't need to be made into enemies. That is good in her view, those Christian organizations are doing a great deal of protecting people from those blood-sucking vampires.
Unfortunately, the Holy Church is an enemy to her and Benjamin. What Flanna heard of what he has said about them is that they are twisted and use their faith as an excuse to commit twisted deeds. They would probably charge her and her brother with heresy as a cover up to put them to death. She and Benjamin would have to fight them and hope that enough casualties could force them to give up land here. Then the Magi, who would never give up and surrender would lose their pride, not like she would mind about those Magi as she would love to see all of them burn in hell at what they did to other people with their human experimentations.
Their victims won't mourn for them, as they deserve that. But to the Holy Church's soldiers, she would just bury them out of respect.
Flanna turned to the page about the Servants and studied each one. There are seven standard classes for each servant. Servants are normally only of the singular class under which they are summoned, but certain circumstances allow for multiple classes at once.
For example, Achilles can be summoned as a Rider, Lancer, and Berserker. But some of the servants can demonstrate their power class the most like Heracles who displays qualifications corresponding to five classes, Saber, Lancer, Rider, Assassin, and Berserker, which can be stronger classes to be in. But, he can demonstrate his true power the most as an Archer class, which it is the best Servant Class for him to display his true abilities and it's a pretty comfortable class for him because he overcame many trials with knowledge and resourcefulness.
She shifted the page again to show images of stylized warriors with titles at the bottom.
The first image was of a fully armored knight with two-handed claymores in his gauntleted hands in a warrior's salute.
Saber, the Knight of the Sword and masters of the Sword, is regarded as the best and most outstanding of all Servant classes. Those who are placed within this class are agile and powerful melee warriors adept at swordsmanship, boasting high ratings in all categories. The qualifying conditions require them to have a sword and require the highest levels of attributes in all but the magic attribute. Sword-wielding individuals usually happen to be the great heroes and aces of their respective stories. They will generally have an overwhelming advantage over Caster-class Servants who use magecraft as their main offensive ability due to their magic resistance because they are often heroes from the Age of Gods when magecraft was still commonplace. Their fight style usually excels in delivering powerful burst attacks and having two Class Skills, which are Magic Resistance and Riding.
Because Saber class is the best of the seven classes and the strongest of the Servants with standard opinions about this class, a lot of participants would specifically aim for getting a hero precisely from this class. Plenty of people would try to have the strongest and best class with so much power.
But Flanna is rarely impressed about this class. Why? Because this is teamwork, not the one who has the best stats that exceeds the other classes, which means little to her viewpoint. The more important aspects involved which heroes could be hard to discover their identities, which abilities are the most practical skills that could be useful to reach on different fields outside of combat, and most importantly of all is which Noble Phantasms could be the most efficient with extraordinary usability that could be used over and over without being so flashy with visual effects that are just screaming that "I am here," and requires too many resources to use again and again that have to be recharged for far too long, like refilling a tank with a car fueling nozzle, which would take hours to be done.
The weakness of the Saber class is its straightforwardness in battle. They are only able to attack the enemy with their sword, while unable to resort to other tactics that most of the sabers probably don't know how to use strategically very well. Most of them are a lightning bruiser that have a lack of range, which is a weakness toward long range fighters and have limited prowess with magic experiences. Their Noble Phantasms are probably a sword beam, which shoots in a straight line that is easily dodged and has a magical energy consumption that is extremely huge, leaving them exhausted after usage, and it cannot normally be fired consecutively. Its destructive power can be a negative trait that limits its usage as it can easily damage the surrounding area and kill a large number of people if used under the wrong conditions. To make it even worse, it can be seen by almost everyone and will allow others to instantly figure out their identity. Their swords and their identities can be discovered very quickly as they are more famous in legend and story within the very first battle.
The Saber classes are usually one trick ponies where most of their abilities are easy to analyze and are slightly over-hyped. They didn't exactly have anything else going for them besides being good with their sword and, having relied on their Noble Phantasms, that is nothing more than simply a brute force to use. They don't have any variable abilities that can be useful out of combat and their personalities are seemingly full of chivalric honor and they engage in honorable face-to-face single combats.
Flanna made a record that recommended not to summon a Saber-class at all, as most of their Noble Phantasms can easily be seen by everyone in the city. This could leave her location to be spotted and trying to fire it with only one hand can allow the opponent to evade the blast and hit them in one shot. The only thing is that you can use them as the last resort and as support when the enemies bring heavy hitters to the battlefield, when the plan is going wrong in every direction or when resorted to killing something that's so big, but the chances to see this is low.
She shifted the page to show the second images of a man with a big hat covering half of his face, dressed in leather and a nobleman's clothes while holding a spear.
Lancer, the Knight of the Lance and master of the spears or lances. Those who are placed within this class are knights, very agile, display excellent close combat skills, show proficiency in hit-and-run tactics that capitalize on range and speed, and are skilled with long-range melee weapons such as spears and lances. This class is second only to the Saber class, requiring overall excellent attributes, a high agility attribute, and their only particular class ability is Magic Resistance.
Flanna's views of this class garner a mixed review. A positive about this class is that they tend to be less flashy than the other classes when they use their Noble Phantasms, which is a good thing that also can be used with one hand, and are a very reliable type of Servant to be used in battle. At the all their weapons of choice are extremely effective weapons. They are highly suitable for massive battles, much more so than the sword. This is due to their reach and the fact that they're more effective at mounted combat and penetrating armor. Their high agility makes them a good scout to use for searching around cities.
Their hit-and-run tactics are to get quickly into range, attack (either from range or in a sudden, surprising and hard-hitting charge) and flee before the enemy has the time to react. Rinse and repeat. This involves defeating a much stronger but slower melee opponent by repeatedly moving away from them and bombarding them with weak attacks, which will eventually overpower the enemy through sheer volume. Needless to say, expect this to frustrate anyone.
But it can be a double-edged sword, a hit-and-runner can quickly get tired of running and turn and try to face their weakened opponent toe-to-toe or drag the fight too long. Like Saber class, the stats mean nothing to her. Their abilities are easy to analyze and are over hyped. They are also a one-trick pony too, having one particular class ability and a limited range if their weapons are throwing spears or lances. But, if they miss their target using their weapon, they have to go find it. Plus, you're basically throwing away your weapon, and giving it to your opponent if you miss at close range. Additionally, most of Lancer class is obviously famous in stories too and can be discovered by their class just by their weapon.
The Lancer class also doesn't have any variable abilities that can be useful out of combat and they have to rely on their Noble Phantasms. The only thing that Flanna can think of what to do with this class is to use them as scout party or to bring messages to her if they cannot send a communication to her right way. But a Lancer class is must-have for her and Benjamin to use as frontline and defending soldiers. The more she has, the better.
The third images show a woman wearing bits of steel armor and a red dress, wielding a drawn bow and arrow.
Archer, Knight of the Bow and master of projectile weapons. Those who are placed within this class excel in possessing powerful Noble Phantasms and are able to act as highly effective scouts. The qualifying condition for the Archer class does not attribute, but instead, the possession of powerful projectile weapons or special abilities related to projectile weapons. They have two Class Skills, which are Magic Resistance and Independent Action
Her view on this class, mostly positive reviews because for one, they are better for hit-and-run tactics than Lancer class, as they all require very good running skills (in order to properly hunt in combat), long range skills, and good escaping skills. Not to mention that this class is generally far away from the target and is definitely not in range for the opponents to counter-attack unless the combatants happen to be long range fighters as well, having arrows that are strong enough to kill enemies from a distance and be fast enough or have enough time to dodge their counters. This class doesn't need to rely on their Noble Phantasms, as their projectile weapons are enough to destroy their enemies. Also, it is really difficult to find their true identities, especially since the enemies have to get close enough to see them, which is hard when getting peppered by a bunch of projectiles. The archer class is generally stealthy and graceful and tends to fight at a distance.
Their Independent Action class skills allow them the ability to act independently for a length of time without an active supply of magical energy from their local mana sources, which makes this class rely on itself now instead when they have to recharge their magical energy, every time they have to go back to their home base. At higher ranks, it is also possible for them to not rely upon their mana that much and they can recharge it one time. But the downside of this skill is that they can be harder to control and keep by their side, making the only true way to command them is by utilizing Command Spells, which can be a problem if the Archer happens to be unruly or disobedient and not following orders very well. But again, they're generally independent and used to working alone. This tends to make them practical, but a little haughty or arrogant and not the best at following orders, especially from those they don't respect.
There are also weaknesses about Archer class. If they happen to be long-range fighters and don't have any close combat skills, then they are going to be less effective against close-up threats. Their strengths are useless if the Master or their teammates don't manage to stay aware of enemy positions and keep them out of close-combat. But, their advantages are very blatant when pulled off, unless they switch to a different weapon for close combat.
Flanna made a note to recommend that this class is most useful. They can support themselves as most of them are a hunter. They can create poison, which in turn can be made into poisonous arrows. They can hunt their own food, make traps kill their enemies, use areas like forest-like environments around them to easily disappear from the sight of someone actively watching them and easily leap from one place to another. A class that is both useful and helpful in different fields outside of combat.
The fourth images show an Armored figure with black robes beneath his armor riding on a wheeled apparatus like some kind of stylized chariot and holding the reigns for something not shown.
Rider, the Mounted Knight, and master of the mounted combat, those who are placed within this class are known for riding mounts, living beasts or human constructs, during their lives. They generally have lower attributes compared to the Three Knight Classes, but the abilities of the mounts described in their legends compensate by granting them powerful Noble Phantasms or abilities. They have the class abilities of Magic Resistance and a high rank in Riding, allowing them to fully utilize the abilities of their mounts. Depending on the rank, they can take full control of everything from simple horses, modern machineries like motorcycles and planes, and even Divine Beasts. But Dragons are the only exception, as the ability to ride them falls under a different skill.
Their Noble Phantasms bring fear toward their enemies in battle and they are known for being the terrors of the battlefield with diverse skills. Their mount or combat vehicle can trample the enemies, which also can easily turn the entire city area into scorched earth, providing extraordinary offensive and defensive capabilities of the highest level, exterminate enemies with overwhelming firepower, boast great speed, and its demolishing attack as it charges, trample throughout the battlefield with godspeed and scraping up the ground simply from riding it, increasing damage dealt proportionally to its increase in speed.
But their Noble Phantasms can be a flaw as this class is relying on their powerful Noble Phantasms too much if they do not possess formidable parameters to keep up the fight against experienced fighters. If their Magic Resistance is not high enough to face a Caster class, which requires more strategy to find another way to beat them. Basically, their Noble Phantasms are one-trick-ponies that can be easily examined and over hyped, as their Noble Phantasms are designed to quickly blow their enemies to smithereens as quickly as possible before the enemies can react or counterattack with insane attack power.
Flanna's opinion on this class is a lot of mixed reviews with both advantages and disadvantages to it, mixed with random probability. For example, you can have a Rider who has powerful Noble Phantasm but is so big that it is not difficult to hit it, or a Rider who has to rely on his Noble Phantasms to keep up with the fight, or a weak ass Rider who only has a horse, or a Rider whose Noble Phantasm is highly flashy and easy to determine their identity, or a Rider who is strong enough to keep the fight even without needing to use his Noble Phantasms, or a Rider who is very hard to discover at first sight.
A high and low risk at the same time, her strategy on this class is to actually treat them as a real cavalry. Yeah, exactly what it says on the title.
If their mount is a simple horse, use them as scouting, skirmishing with enemy reconnaissance elements to deny them knowledge of their own disposition of troops, forward security, offensive reconnaissance by combat, defensive screening of friendly forces during retrograde movement, retreat, restoration of command and control, deception, battle handover and passage of lines, relief in place, linkup, breakout operations, and raiding.
If the mount is a big mechanical vehicle that holds a lot of men inside, then use as travel around the place and airdrop troopers down to the land to directly engage enemy forces. If the mechanical vehicle has some kind of bomb or missile on it then bombing and strafing. If the mount is a divine or supernatural creature, then use them as the last resort when there is a big monster on the field of battle.
Her recommendation on this class is to just have one or two for now because you need to feed their living mounts too and if it is a big, huge creature, get ready to feed that monster. It requires quite a bit more food and open spaces than your average cat and needs very caring and committed owners if you don't want to be eaten alive. If it is a mechanical vehicle, then refilling it is going to take a while, like refilling a huge tank with a car fueling nozzle that is designed for a car.
The fifth images showed a hooded old man with a long, white beard in obscuring robes and carrying a book in one hand and a staff in the other.
Caster, the Magus who wields great magic that is often lost to modern magi. Those who are placed within this class are adept in magecraft, and the only qualifying condition is the mastery of sorceries of the highest caliber compared to the specific parameter requirements of the other classes. Due to not requiring any strong statistics, they generally have low combat abilities, and due to the majority of Servants having some form of Magic Resistance, this class is thought to be the weakest of all seven. They make up for this by other means, using magecraft that no longer exists in the current age and, no matter which Heroic Spirit is of the class, possessing many possible schemes to be used against enemies. Their class abilities are Territory Creation and Item Construction.
Flanna's views on this class are a must-have class, as they are the most versatile of all class. Their Territory Creation skills can alter the surrounding lands in favor of their sorcery, which is an advantageous skill to use. With the Holy Grail right here in this home, it can easily draw energy around the land and provide a nearly limitless amount of magical energy. The place can be surrounded by a powerful Bounded Field, which is to protect everyone who lives inside and prevents onlookers from noticing it. The FBI, CIA, and the US Military would be less likely to notice the house, best of all Magi who are searching for the Holy Grail.
Their Item Construction skill is another handy skill that can be used for a practical purpose in several ways, as you can create a variety of tools, objects and some like healing potions, including Mystic Code, which is a support weapon for a magus that carries as a magical artifact and poisons bottles.
The best of all, they can boost their allies with extra firepower support that is enhanced strength, making them heavy hitters and giving them healing, curative, empowering, or protective effects. They also have skills that help in escaping and hiding if things get out of control. What makes them so scary is that their magic prowess can reach many different fields of abilities as they improve their skills. Not to mention that Casters usually aren't well known compared to other classes, which makes finding their true identity really difficult, especially since they don't use their Noble Phantasms that much.
She is going to recommend this class as for as many as possible to have advantages more as their abilities in magecraft are on an entirely different level than any living magus can produce. The Caster class would present the most horrifying and greatest results against human opponents and modern-day Magi as this class is their worst nightmare to fight against. At the all, the Caster class far surpasses modern Magi, even if they are outnumbered from one to five. But, quality over quantity would win against them as a battle between them is dependent on who has the first surprise move, who has the most overwhelming firepower to annihilate the enemy once the battle starts, and who would be the one that would run out of energy first. As long as everyone's tricks were kept hidden from the battlefield, then the fight would be an even fight.
"This class is thought to be the weakest of all, my ass," Flanna stated with a grim frown as she went on to the next page. "They are the most useful of all and I cannot believe whoever made this class has got to be an idiot to make the class system so obvious of who is the strongest and who is the weakest."
The sixth images showed a man wrapped in black leggings and gauntlets wielding wicked, black daggers. His head and face were covered in black cloth and a bone white, skull-shaped mask.
Assassin, the Silent Killer and master of stealth and silent killing. Servants of this class are skilled at operating covertly, stealthily, and silently. This class is one of the weaker classes at fighting as its members possess low attributes due to not having glorious legends as heroes. Therefore, they instead specialize in killing Masters rather than Servants. It is an oddity compared to the more formal knight classes who believe in fair duels and chivalry in combat. They will attack using the most unfair and favorable conditions and with these conditions, it is possible for an Assassin to match and defeat other Servants. The Assassins' special class ability is Presence Concealment, which allows them to remain undetected when spying or preparing to ambush their targets.
Her opinion on the Assassin class is a second must-have class, as their Presence Concealment can serve as an intelligence network and spy on anyone who is searching for her and her brother. Their Military tactics can reach from psychological warfare to assassination with good use of many expert skills. This class has many ways of how to kill someone that may be direct and simple, like stabbing, strangling or bludgeoning with a key technique of infiltration into guard place. The best of all is that while the Assassin class can be beaten by modern-day Magi, this class brings fear and terror to everyone who would be properly paranoid by everything that looks like an enemy at all. They become increasingly jumpy and desperate, which makes the Magi very tired and run themselves to exhaustion. And then they cannot even defend themselves because you don't know how many of them are there in the dark, watching your every move.
Even the Assassin class fails to kill their target, which can also add a new level of paranoia. Assassins are so uncommon in higher levels of play than other classes that it actually comes back as a good thing, since Magi are generally unaware of this class and are easily fooled by disguises. Another tactic of Assassins is that being a menace will force the enemy team to go out of their way to try to find them, which could be just the right opening for the Assassin's team to make their move.
She learns that most of this class are Hassan-i-Sabbahs, Old Men of the Mountain, as the requirement for those who might truly be described as perfect assassins would normally remain anonymous, and consequently fail to become Heroic Spirits. The Old Man of the Mountain, who is known throughout history, would normally be applicable for the Assassin class. Not only that but they also know every tactic and dirty trick in the book, which can surprise every enemy they come across. They are what you expect from a professional killer: the most obedient Heroic Spirit, comfortable with following the orders of their Masters, whatever they happen to be, and offer mild suggestions in accordance with their skills. They are very loyal, accept the authority easily, and would never betray their Master.
Flanna also frowned that many other people think that the Assassin class is worthless and second weakest to use because most of the Magi are not good at strategy or use them incorrectly in a bad way. When she summons one of them, she is going show how you're supposed to use them and show how dangerous they can actually be when they are used correctly.
The last and seventh images showed beast-headed men with heads that are wolf-like with horns screaming in rage, hunched over there is madness dancing in its eyes, heavily tattooed and wearing little more than rage. The creature wields a massive sword that looks more like a native butcher knife.
Berserker, the Mad Warrior, and master of berserker rage. Servants placed within this class are always Heroic Spirits who have gone berserk during the battle at least once in their lifetime. This trait allows them to use the special ability Mad Enhancement, which trades their consciousness and sanity for a large power boost by one rank or more. This class is usually for magi who have summoned Heroic Spirits with insufficient abilities and attributes, allowing them to strengthen their Servants to make up for their lower attributes and compete against stronger opponents. While it is ideal for Servants to reach the level of the Heroic Spirit, the class allows for their attributes to surpass even the original.
If used on an already strong Heroic Spirit, they will become empowered to truly extraordinary levels. The abuse of this ability to create powerful Servants has made the class referred to as the strongest of all seven classes.
But there is problem with this class, as the Berserker class is the most difficult to control and a Master must expend a large amount of additional magical energy merely to maintain the Berserker, and the affected Heroic Spirit may lose access to certain abilities or even Noble Phantasms depending on how much sanity it took away for power as they generally rely on little other than brute strength and overwhelming, uncontrolled strikes to physically beat down their opponents.
This class is unable to utilize coordination with their master very well unless gifted with superb control over them. The lack of complex rational thinking keeps them from being able to follow more than simple directions, and it may even require Command Spells to keep them from acting on their own or going out of control in battle. They would generally bring their own masters to ruin due to their inability to control them, as this class is unable to discern the identity of their master sooner or later. The Berserkers class is usually just as dangerous to their own controllers as to their enemies.
This is a self-destruction class as Berserkers have a "kill fast, die fast" philosophy to them. It eventually reaches the point where even the Master is unable to intervene until the Berserkers class is calmed down.
Flanna's judgment on Berserker class:
A class of mass destruction that could take many hits and Noble Phantasms. They can eat anti-tank missiles the way a glutton goes through an all-you-can-eat buffet. They are so strong that they can kick tanks around like footballs or have the firepower to crush the US, China and Russia in a conventional conflict. They can make a Bugatti Veyron car look slow or waltz through a point-blank crossfire of Gatlings with an ease that makes an agent envious.
A class that can rival against Saber, Lancer, and Archer classes whose actual fighting techniques are nearly worthless against Berserker class, as all the fancy parrying and stances in the world, won't help against someone who strikes faster than you can react, and shatter your weapon with a single blow. And that's before you consider the fact that they're nearly immune to almost all normal attacks. It would need a mighty Noble Phantasm just to kill a Berserkers as they can take several blows and probably recover quickly.
She is not sure what to do with this class, as the only tactics she can think up is to guard the Holy Grail, her brother and herself. Or use them as the last resort of the enemies and send an army or some kind of monster if those Magi decide that sending their troops over there would waste too much time and manpower.
Atalanta and Chiron, who just arrived home, were greeted by Flanna. She was also surprised that Chiron appears to be a man in leather armor instead centaur. He told her that there is no problem with being summoned in his centaur form, but appearing as a centaur is enough to quickly narrow down possible identities from the more famous heroes. She agreed and was stunned at Atalanta who looked absolutely beautiful with her cat ears and tail, even though she is a little bit more muscular than a regular woman.
Chiron reported to her that Clock Tower has already sent their Enforcers to America's soil to search around each city and are hunting for the Holy Grail. This brought her unease about that. This means they have responded so quickly...in almost two days.
Chiron also said that he and Atalanta have swiftly killed all the Magus in the nearby cities, which brought great relief to her. Additionally, they encountered a group of Magus preparing the summoning ritual. The catalysts they're using are a Viking's helmet, a piece of armor with dried blood and a golden laurel wreath. Chiron said that they heard one of the Magus was going to use human sacrifices for the summoning ritual, which one of the servant's Noble Phantasms needs to require human blood to provide itself and it also needs large amounts of blood produced.
Both him and Atalanta swiftly killed all the Magus and freed the captives. He took the catalyst and ran off with Atalanta. That is a good thing so that those Magus won't be able to summon their servants and now there are three catalysts in this home.
After she was done reading the book, she grabbed her notebook and looked at what she had written about each servant's strengths, weaknesses, and some of their personality. She studied her note on Enkidu, Chiron, and Atalanta. Her brother forgot to look at their stats and Noble Phantasms first. Flanna sighed at her brother's poor planning at knowing what to do with his servants. Well, at least he tries his best to handle the plan actually.
Lancer: Enkidu, a central figure in the Ancient Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh and is the only friend of Gilgamesh.
Attributes and Stats
Strength: A
Endurance: A
Agility: A
Mana: A
Luck: A
N. Phantasm: A++
Class Skills
Magical Resistance: Enkidu possesses A-rank magical resistance as it is uniquely reflected by his Mana Parameter and obtains the corresponding effectiveness, and it can increase and decrease depending on how his Transfiguration Skill is used. This allows for the cancellation of magecraft and thaumaturgy that are of A-Rank or below, even High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, including those that originate from the Age of the Gods. In practice, the Servant has become completely untouchable to magi, so it would not be an exaggeration to title the Servant as a Magus Killer.
Personal skills
Presence Detection, Rank: A+ :The ability to detect other Servants and local mana sources. Enkidu has shown to be capable of detecting anything from other Servants and local Mana Sources, and even something as mundane as natural resources, such as water, from across something as expansive as covering more than ten kilometers in distance. In addition, he has the capacity to bypass the Presence Concealment Skill of the corresponding rank, making it nearly impossible to hide oneself from his notice.
Transfiguration, Rank: A :Lancer is able to freely and instantly alter his Parameter Ranks according to the situation, manipulating Strength, Endurance, Agility, Mana, and Luck parameters at will. This is possible because he possesses a set pool of points to allocate into the parameters, and his high rank in the Skill means that he has a greater pool of points. When allocated evenly as a basic result of being summoned, he possesses all A-rank parameters. However, the cost rises when bringing a parameter from A-rank to A+, requiring a two rank drop in all other parameters.
Noble Phantasms
Enûma Elišh: O' Humans, Let Us Restrain The Gods Above, Rank: A++ :This transforms his own body into a Divine Construct (God-made weapons) that turns into some kind of tree, which pours the power and forcibly channels the power of both Gaia and Alaya's Counter Forces to fire off a massive spear-shaped beam so powerful that protects against powerful attacks that are capable of destroying the world like an Anti-World's Noble Phantasm.
Type: Anti-Purge (To purify an unwanted contaminant that is harmful to the world)
Range and Number of Targets: The whole world
A second unknown Noble Phantasm: No details about this and is concealed for some reason
Personality: From what I see about Enkidu, he has an incredibly gentle nature and is respectful towards everyone as if they were all blue-blooded nobles, which makes him an enjoyable fellow and most tend to enjoy having him around. He is extremely loyal as well, which comes to no surprise when knowing of his role with Gilgamesh, often willing to sacrifice anything to guarantee his master's safety. Also, you do not want to piss him off.
STRENGTHS: From what I've researched about Enkidu in his story is that he is an absolute monster in combat. He is more like a Noble Phantasm of the Gods than a hero. He has the strength to wrestle a god-bull to the ground and then chop it to pieces, is a nearly peerless warrior and is an equal match to Gilgamesh, the strongest servant. As a former animal-like person that was one with nature, he has the ability to sense enemies around and through the earth, which makes him a reconnaissance servant. His stats make him a Master of All.
WEAKNESSES: Lacks any major weaknesses or drawbacks that would make using a specialist preferable but he has a different outlook on life than that of a human and it's not that hard to trick him if you know what you're doing.
Levels of Reliability Rating: Steadfast, His loyalty to me and my brother Benjamin are second only to his commitment towards his friend Gilgamesh.
An Issue with Order?: He has no problem with following an order, as he was a servant of the Gods because he had a purpose. Given the task of being the chains to return the keystone, Gilgamesh, to their control. At the all, he was a tool for the Gods and a mud puppet so he would recognize his role and task.
Archer of Black: Chiron, a centaur, half man and half horse, who was known as a great sage among his kind in Greek mythology.
Attributes and Stats
Strength: B
Endurance: B
Agility: A+
Mana: B
Luck: C
N. Phantasm: A
Class Skills
Independent Action, Rank A: Remains with high independence even when not need any magical energy supply from home base. However, when using a Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the home base is necessary.
Magic Resistance, Rank B: It can cancel spells with a chant below three verses. If targeted by High-Thaumaturgy and Greater Rituals, it would be difficult for them to be affected by it.
Personal skills
Clairvoyance, Rank B+: Capable of seeing up to fifteen kilometers with his eyesight and keeping track of fast-moving objects within a range of fifteen kilometers. With a good balance of the Eye of the Mind (True) skill, limited future sight is possible.
Eye of the Mind (True), Rank A: Insight fostered from training and discipline. Calmly understands the ability of the opponent and the situation of the predicament one is in, and through combat logic is able to figure out a way to get out of such a situation. So long as there is even a 0.5% chance of a comeback, this ability greatly improves the chances of winning.
Divinity, Rank C: He is the son of the Titan Cronus, patron of the harvest and the earth, and the deity Philyra, making him a Divine Spirit that would not normally qualify for the status of Heroic Spirit. But passed on his immortality to Zeus to give to Prometheus, and finally died in peace. He lost almost all of his Divinity along with his immortality, allowing him to become an existence that could be summoned by the Grail.
The Wisdom of Divine Gift, Rank A+: Other than those characteristics of other heroes, almost all other skills of proficiency B to A rank can be displayed. Also with a Master's agreement, other Servant's can be granted skills. However, this does not apply to skills originated from a different region or period.
Noble Phantasms
Antares Snipe: Scorpion Shot, Rank A: The embodiment of the episode where Chiron, who turned into Sagittarius, is always aiming at the Scorpion in the sky. Said to have pierced a star, it is the ultimate shot that an Archer can reach. The moment the target is determined, firing is possible. Not from the bow, but the star shoots a comet shot. It has a tracking ability, naturally, and it doesn't even need for its true name to be released or for it to be filled with prana in order to activate. After this Noble Phantasm has been used it cannot be used until the next night.
Type: Anti-Unit (Specialized against defeating other people in single combat.)
Range and Number of Targets: 5 to 99 range and target one person
Personality: What I know about Chiron is that he has a calm and gentle personality, never disdain or despises others regardless of whether they are enemy or ally, and he is exceptionally calm among the intense and passionate heroes of Greek mythology. He is also well respected by his peers for his wisdom and advice due to his honest and upright character.
STRENGTHS: Chiron boasts specs high enough for him to be called a first-rate Servant—to an extremely abnormal extent in a certain sense. His incredible knowledge and extreme perception ability allow him to do everything short of figuring out his enemy's moves before they do. He was summoned in Human form, which without any traits to reveal his identity make him hard to find out who he is even with wearing Greek bowman armor. Chiron is not only good with the bow, he taught not only swordsmanship, archery, and horse-riding, but also wrestling techniques, so he is relatively experienced in moving with human feet. Having taught almost all of the other Greek heroes makes him great at fighting any Greek heroes he has known in his lifetime, as he knows all of the basis for different styles of fighting by heart and their fighting tactics, makes him an instrumental tactical advantage.
WEAKNESSES: Chiron has a weakness, that he lacks a decisive trump card. Against the brute force approach that throws away all wisdom or intelligence, his strong points fade away. As a Servant, his stats have received a slight rank down due to giving up his immortality and transforming his legs into those of a human. He is also weak to poison as he was shot with an arrow tipped in Hydra poison which takes increased damage to him maybe killing him if it is a Hydra poison. His Noble Phantasm rank, despite having a high rank, possesses low attack power not worthy of special mention, making it a weakness that must be planned out as to fatally hit the target as much as possible with each use for maximum efficiency.
Levels of Reliability Rating: Steadfast to me and my brother Benjamin. In fact, he gets along with us quite well and fully accepts Benjamin as his Master.
An Issue with Order?: Has no issue with authority and would offer mild suggestions with the order if he wants to.
Archer of Red: Atalanta, The huntress from Greek mythology.
Attributes and Stats
Strength: D
Endurance: E
Agility: A
Mana: B
Luck: C
N. Phantasm: C
Class Skills
Magic Resistance, Rank D: Can only Cancel Single-Action spells, making it the same degree of an amulet that rejects magical energy.
Independent Action, Rank A: Remains with high independence even when does not need any magical energy supply from home base. However, when using a Noble Phantasms of great magical energy consumption, backup from the home base is necessary.
Personal skills
Crossing Arcadia, Rank A: Can move while jumping over all kinds of obstacles on the field of battle, including enemies and allies.
Aesthetics of the Last Spurt, Rank C: This skill allows her to let her opponent take initiative, then confirm his actions in order to overtake them, as she did in the footraces of her legend.
Noble Phantasms
Phoebus Catastrophe: Complaint Message on the Arrow, Rank B+: A complaint letter on an arrow seeking the divine protection of Artemis and Apollo with the Tauropolos received from the Guardian Deity Artemis. In the next turn, arrows will rain on all enemies as if a downpour. The range can also be set.
Type: Anti-Army (To specialize against armies with a wide enough range)
Range and Number of Targets: 2 to 50 range and target 100 people
Agrius Metamorphosis: Boar of Divine Punishment, Rank B+: A cursed Noble Phantasm where one owns the power of the Monstrous Beast when she wears the pelt. It grants power equivalent to that of A rank Mad Enhancement. Other than luck, all other stats rise and grant an A rank Transformation skill, bestowing various characteristics depending on the environment. In exchange, the wearer loses their reason and, depending on the situation, becomes unable to discern and identify even their Master. It is a Noble Phantasm whose use pretty much equals self-destruction.
Type: Anti-Self Unit (Used upon the wielder instead of another target)
Range and Number of Targets: no range and 1 person, which I feel for that poor guy who is being targeted.
Personality: From what I know about Atalanta is that she speaks in an old-fashioned manner voice, friend to children a lot because she received mercy as a child. She has a slight aversion toward men, though generally she's ambivalent on expressing it, making sense because she was treated in a poor way due to the Hunt of the Calydonian boar. She is a fast friend with Sakata Kintoki since they both love children a lot and have almost the same early childhood.
STRENGTHS: Atalanta said that she has a knowledge of restraining wild beasts, and displaying the capability to easily become one with the forest very easily, even a sight of someone who was actively watching her. Also, she is more of an animal than a human being so she is able to sense enemies and smell far faster than other servants. As she was the fastest mortal in Greek myths, she possesses incredible speed exceeding that of almost any other Servant.
WEAKNESSES: Endurance Rank E basically means she's gonna drop in one or two solid hits, making her a glass cannon, but her arrows are strong enough to injure and kill the enemies. Her other Noble Phantasm, Agrius Metamorphosis: The Beast of Divine Punishment should not be used at all.
Levels of Reliability Rating: Dependable and surprised that she already accepted Benjamin as his Master in a day or two.
An Issue with Order?: Surprisingly for an Archer class and well-known virgin huntress, she has almost no issue with an order.
Flanna closed her notebook at what she wrote and got off the chair that she was sitting on. She was able to understand that three of the servants: Enkidu, Chiron, and Atalanta, are good servants to be with Benjamin. As what she could tell, those three would gladly devote their souls to Benjamin. Compared to the other two, Lu Bu and Ramesses II, who are more questionable and suspicious to her.
She quickly wrote down in her notebook about Lu Bu:
Berserker: Lu Bu, The infamously treacherous military commander from the Three Kingdoms era.
Personality: Because he is a Berserker class, what I know about him is that he shouts an endless incomprehensible yelling in my ears when I try to talk to him, which really hurts my ears a lot. So, I don't know what his real personality is like, but I wouldn't be surprised if this warrior betrayed me and my brother for no god damn reason. For some good speculation, he has been stalking me everywhere around the house, even outside of the window, which is getting disturbing ever since he saw me for the very first time when he met me.
Noble Phantasms
God Force: The Five Soldiers of the War God, Rank A: A two-handed halberd known as the Houtengageki. It was a masterpiece as a weapon due to its versatility that put to use all major characteristics of large two handed weapons, allowing it to be efficient in slashing, thrusting, battering, scything, and sweeping. A multi-mode weapon which has six different forms which are:
Slash: for heavy damage attacks that nullify or cut through and break all kinds of physical defense.
Thrust the Halberd: for heavy damage attacks that can stun on hit, the target being rendered immobile due to spear impalement, and penetrate through a line of enemies.
Blunt strike: for raising his defense by transforming into huge bracers, or using a special defensive technique for blocking and redirecting attacks.
Sweep mode: for sweeping aside a row of enemies.
Parry mode: for doing special counterattacks to do damage while deflecting physical attacks.
Shoot the Cannon: for a large-bore, wave motion cannon-like. The halberd separates into a large bow and arrow that charges and fires at the enemy.
Red Hare, The Legend Among Horses, Rank B: Red Hare is the legendary horse that has been ridden by two heroic spirits (Lu Bu and Guan Yu), and as such has gone beyond any other mortal horse and a legend in its own right. A powerful charging attack using the legendary "Red Hare," a horse that appears to be a blur even to Servants. A high Agility and Eye of the Mind (true or fake) is required to dodge this attack, and a near miss still deals minor damage from the shockwaves.
Type: Anti-Army
Range and Number of Targets: 1 to 10 range and would send a lot of people to the sky if they have been hit by that horse.
STRENGTHS: His Noble Phantasm, God Force, makes him a very effective counter better than almost any other servant, this weapon is worth six Servants' noble phantasms for himself. Lu Bu has a martial prowess that can be rivaled only by a few heroes of the world and overall stellar abilities which he is an Ace in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, can be summoned in an Archer, Lancer, Assassin, or Rider class. He possesses the might of a tiger, a valiant and powerful warrior. Also thinking that Lu Bu is weak in close combat would be dire, spectacularly stupid, and probably also the very last mistake you could ever make.
WEAKNESSES: Because he is under the Mad Enhancement of the Berserker class, his Noble Phantasm, most of the function of God Force, has been lost due to his insanity which he can't use his Noble Phantasm to its full potential and his combat skills because of Mad Enhancement. Because of that mad boot, he has to rely solely on brute strength but has more than enough of it to spare. Also, he has a fucking chronic backstabbing disorder in his backstory, but since the Mad Enhancement denies him the state of mind for it, that does not mean I am safe from him, for Lu Bu earned the reputation of notorious back-stabber.
Levels of Reliability Rating: Unreliable and treacherous. There is not a single Master who did not end up being betraying and destroyed by him.
An Issue with Order?: I am unsure about Lu Bu's issue with an order, but he looks and seems difficult to control, not exactly the most obedient servant to have in your party. I make sure that Benjamin is not with him alone by himself. Also, he lacks the planning skills for a talented person.
She stared at what she had written in her notebook and noticed that Lu Bu was close by in the room. He scanned Flanna's form from head to toe, prompting the woman to cross her arms and fidget uncomfortably and glare before he made somewhat of an approving grunt at her, which caused Flanna to shudder when she realized what was he thinking.
"Was he checking me out or something?" Flanna thought as she remembered she changed into her casual clothing, which is a brown sleeveless skirt dress with a leather belt, a black long-sleeved shirt, brown stockings, and gray boots. She began to wonder if all of those heroes were some kind of perverts, which makes her think she was right all along. The General of Repetition then quickly left the room and went to the next room while Flanna watched as Lu Bu sat down and stared at the window.
"I began to believe that I am right with what I have said," she mumbled as she could not believe that the Holy Grail would summon such an infamously treacherous Lu Bu into their home. Flanna still wondered what made Lu Bu heroic. He was a murderer who killed his foster father, twice, and there is nothing about Lu Bu that makes him a hero at all because he was always erratic and capricious. There was a lot of Lu Bu's Personality documented in historical texts, which reveals that Lu Bu is typically depicted as an extremely aggressive, brutish, and bloodthirsty warrior, which most of this is almost all true about him, as it takes one look at him to believe all this about this man.
"The more I think about that man the more I accept that he is worth more trouble than being helpful," Flanna said as she pushed her long brownish-crimson hair out of the way. "While I do trust that he is counted as one of the strongest in the world of the Three Kingdoms and powerful for a servant, his stats are really high to be a nightmare, which has caused people to shirk with fear if they see him on the battlefield."
"That's if you can actually get him to listen to an order," she said and narrowed her eyes as she kept watching Lu Bu anytime if he was going out of control. However, Lu Bu's strength alone was not enough to salvage his reputation, as Lu Bu never bothered to fully master his emotions or learn how to hide them. Prone to unprovoked emotional outbursts and rapid shifts in mood, his anger, satisfaction or disappointment are plain to see to anyone looking in his general direction. Nowhere is it so visible as on the battlefield, where he fights with crazed laughter and disturbing glee, making many doubt his sanity, which has caused people to never dare to bump into him.
"However, being the strongest and most powerful means nothing to me," Flanna gazed at Lu Bu with eyes of deep disappointment and worry. "At the all you are most likely to be full of brawn but with no brain in your head." Lu Bu was more of a man of action than talk, he disregarded strategy and politics as a waste of his time, which perhaps he has little talent at either one. "He perhaps would have no time for plans and would simply just storm right into the battlefield, ruining the rest of everyone else's plans."
"The only brain that is in Lu Bu's faction is Chen Gong, which is the reason Lu Bu's faction stayed in power so long is that he had Chen Gong as an advisor and chief strategist." She quickly remembered that Chen Gong was the closest thing Lu Bu had to a friend. He truly appreciated Chen Gong's service and addressed the old man on equal terms, which is why Chen Gong liked to be by his side better than joining the court or serving Cao Cao.
And also, she thought about Ramesses II as she thought about his stats. He, as a Rider Class, is an extremely powerful Servant.
He has a skill called Imperial Privilege that is a rank A, which can allow him to use his kingly authority to utilize skills that are essentially impossible for him to possess. He can grant himself these skills of B rank and they only last for a short time.
Three Noble Phantasms: the first one is a flying ship called Mesektet, which is able to fire several beams of light that can scorch the earth, the second one is a Divine Beast Sphinx that has the power to defeat three Servants, and the last one was a Reality Marble-like Noble, which is a giant complex consisting of temples and corridors, and the central pyramid acts as the main temple and throne room.
Suffice to say, Ramesses II does not screw around during the fights.
There was one thing that made Flanna very worried and seemed to realize just how dangerous Rider actually was, that there's a skill called Charisma which gives him the ability to convince others to help him and to easily sway people to his cause.
She made a good note not to fully trust him or other servants who have the same skill, as she knows that some of the servants were kings in their lifetime which makes them easily persuade her and Benjamin. She just has to avoid this type of servants and talk, though, into walkie-talkies. She does not care if those servants are polite, noble, and charismatic, that would make almost everyone look past this. Those type of servants is not loyal to her and her brother at all as they want to make Benjamin and her turn up their loyalty to them.
"Those kings and leader-servants are monsters who can organize nations with just their immense charm and good personalities," Flanna said in her mind as she was disgusted at how those type of servants could easily control the people with their inhuman charm.
Then, she noticed Sakata Kintoki, who was a tall, muscled figure who was wearing black pants and a white shirt buttoned up halfway with gold accessories hanging off his neck, wrists, and belt. He was playing with Alice, which meant he picked her up and twirled her around in circles. Alice was enjoying the spinning with laughs and giggles. Somewhere nearby, Atalanta was pouting that she didn't get to play with her.
"This scene looks kinda cute by the way," Flanna thought about Sakata Kintoki, who in her point of view was extremely easy to have as a Servant to Benjamin who desires a relationship as equals. "Even though Sakata Kintoki looks like a powerful mob boss because of his gaudy sense of fashion, despite his kindhearted nature." She imagined Sakata Kintoki would easily scare the children's parents just by looking at him.
She still wondered why two of his Noble Phantasms are called Golden Eater and Golden Spark, which are unreasonably golden for some reason especially because he likes flashy and shiny things. And also he likes to say gold and golden a lot about everything. He even calls himself a golden person; in fact, he named her brother's title name as "The Golden Master" as it had a nice golden ring to it. "Seriously?" she thought as she rubbed her eyes from the bright light from that huge axe of his. "Who the hell named their weaponry gold and put it some golden camouflage on it?"
And about Alice, she is cute and friendly from Flanna's viewpoint. Even though she may have the intelligence of a servant, she still has the morality of a child to the point of wanting Benjamin to play with her a lot. She insisted on calling her Alice instead Nursery Rhyme for some reason. Flanna is still surprised that a traditional poem or song can be summoned as a hero or servant.
Flanna then made her way down to the basement to see what the Holy Grail looked like, as Benjamin said that it looked like a golden cup with fine details, to the point that it shimmered in the light so bright that you could be blinded from staring at the cup.
Well, it looked different from what Benjamin described what the golden cup looked like now.
First, the Basement was filled with numerous pillars with water filled parts of the well from nowhere. There, in the middle of the basement room, was the Holy Grail, which looked like a large circular object floating just above the ground and in the middle of a ring-shaped was something like a star-shaped scar with figures of what looked liked many humanlike women inside of it.
"So this is the Holy Grail," Flanna guessed what it was as she laid her eyes upon the circular object. It looked like nothing she imagined the cup to be. "Dozens look like a cup no more."
"But it looks so pretty," she spoke as she was somewhat in a daze at seeing the Holy Grail herself. Her interest over the Holy Grail soon began to become enchanted as she approached the Holy Grail to take a closer look as well.
Stepping forward, she came to a stop as she stood right in front of it. A few moments later, Flanna extended her hand and placed it upon the Holy Grail.
New Jersey, America at the same time
Illyasviel, Sella, and Leysritt were sent to New Jersey by Jubstacheit to take advantage of the prana-enriched soil to summon their servants while also summoning his own servant too. Right now, they are on the grassy outskirts of New Jersey, Sella has just finished the preparations for the summoning ritual. She walked towards Illyasviel and Leysritt.
"Lady Illya, the preparations are complete," Sella said as she stepped behind Illya.
"Good work." Illya turned to Leysritt. "Leysritt, the catalysts," Illya commanded.
"Yes, milady," Leysritt said as she took the Avalon and Rhongomyniad from the box and placed them on the altar. She then stepped away and joined Sella. "Alright, the summoning ritual will now commence," Illya stated as she walked in the center of the summoning circle and began to chant the incantation to summon King Arthur as a Berserker class, which was, in Illya's point of view, a foolish way of summoning heroes that were completely unsuited in a class container or summoning something that was so insane like a Berserker Arthur.
Silver and iron to the origin. Gem and the archduke of contracts to the cornerstone. The ancestor is my great master Schweinorg.
The lighted wind becomes a wall. The gates in the four directions close, coming from the crown, the three-forked road that leads to the kingdom circulate.
Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill.
Repeat every five times.
Simply, shatter once filled.
I announce.
Your self is under me, my fate is in your sword.
In accordance with the approach of the Holy Grail, if you abide by this feeling, this reason, then answer.
Here is my oath. I am the one who becomes all the good of the world of the dead, I am the one who lays out all the evil of the world of the dead.
Yet, thou serves with thine eyes clouded in chaos. Thou, bound in the cage of madness. I am he who commands those chains
You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance.
The summoning circle began to glow as Illya waited for the command spells and her servant to appear. She felt the acceleration of the prana that raced in her body had reached its uttermost limit. But a few seconds later, Illya and the maids sensed something wrong. "Something is wrong. Why hasn't King Arthur and my command spells appeared? Is there some sort of mistake that I made?" Illya questioned as she made no mistakes when she said the summon chant.
"That's very unlikely, Lady Illya. I have double checked everything and the summoning should have been a success," Sella explained as no matter that you made several mistakes in the process, the Holy Grail accepts your effort even you are so inexperienced with trying to summon a servant. "You also have made no oversights on your chant too."
"If it wasn't us, then-" Illya was cut off when something emerged from the summoning circle, it was a pair of thin arms made of prana that appeared in front of them.
"What is that?" Illya exclaimed as she took a step back. Sella and Leysritt joined Illya in front of her, protecting her from harm. Then the arms turned towards the catalysts, getting closer to them. Illya deduced its goal. Whatever that thing is, it's after the catalysts.
"That thing is after the catalysts. Leysritt, destroy it!" Illya ordered. "Do not let that thing have the catalysts!" she shouted at Leysritt, who prepared to attack the thin arms made of prana.
"Enemy sighted," Leysritt stated as she brandished her halberd. "Must destroy it." Leysritt swiftly swung her halberd, cutting the two pair of arms. However, it proved to be futile because each arm grew another pair of arms, resulting in 4 arms in total, like a hydra.
Then a deep chuckle was heard, "That's not gonna work against me." A voice that came from the summoning circle.
Illya, Sella, and Leysritt were surprised. "T-That thing can talk?" Sella said in an astonished voice.
"Actually lady, not really. I'm just talking through the summoning circle," the circle answered in a heavy voice with a lazy and laid-back attitude.
"How's that possible?" Sella asked to herself and gave the others the same question.
"Who are you?" Illya demanded as she stared at the circle in disbelief.
"My name is not important. What's important is that I'm gonna steal your catalysts," the circle replied sarcastically. The arms keep getting closer to the catalysts.
"I won"t let you. Leysritt, attack again," Illya ordered, as Leysritt prepared herself again.
"Understood," Leysritt stated as she attacked at the arms. She tried to prevent the catalysts from being stolen, but the arms keep blocking all of her attacks with his hands. Each time she cut an arm off, two more took its place. Then the arms grabbed the catalysts.
"He's got the catalysts," Sella said.
The circle began to chuckle as his arms disappeared through the summoning circle along with the catalysts. "Bye bye Homunculus, I will see you soon," the circle said in a mercilessly mocking voice towards them.
As he said that, the summoning circle turned red as it began overloading with prana.
"Now what?" Illya asked while looking frustrated.
"Oh no. The summoning circle is overloading. It's gonna explode," Sella said as she was about to run far away from the summoning circle while the other girls began to do the same thing.
The girls barely escaped as the explosion knocked them a great distance and landed hard on the ground and Illya's hat went flying off.
Sella slowly stood up and walked limply towards Illya. "L-Lady Illya, are you okay?" Sella sustained a few scratches, a cut on her forehead that was bleeding and a sprained ankle. "I-I'm fine," Illya reassured as she coughed from the smoke. She only sustained a few scratches, a sprained wrist and a small bump on her forehead.
Leysritt stood just fine due to her durability and walked towards Illya and Sella. "Are you really okay, Lady Illya?" Leysritt asked worriedly. "I'm fine, Leysritt, it's just a few scratches," Illya reassured. She slowly stood up with the help of Sella. She looked back at the medium sized crater. "Damn it. He got away."
"How is this possible? How did he manage to manipulate the summoning ritual like that?" Sella questioned, she knew the Einzbern family could sway the ritual like they did with the Avenger Class Servant, with the special container they created only prepared for him but to have a complete control over the summoning ritual is mindblowing.
"That's a good question. But... that's not really what we should be concerned about," Illya said in a concerned voice and narrowed her eyes at the medium sized smoke crater.
"What do you mean?" Sella asked nervously.
"The fact that we can't summon any servants," Illya replied. "Or no longer anymore."
Sella soon realized how dire the situation was.
"I assume that every magus who tries to summon a servant will suffer the same fate. If we try again, that guy has complete control over the summoning ritual and possibly the Throne of Heroes and will not let us summon any servants, even if we prevent him from stealing our catalysts. And without any servants, we can't possibly win the Holy Grail war," Illya explained as her sight darkened.
"I am also assuming that whoever was in that summoning circle was the mastermind of the Holy Grail War," Illya stated. "I will confess that he's able to summon so many servants and alter the summoning ritual because his magic circuits are able to surpass ours."
"So, are you saying that this Holy Grail war was a trap all along the entire time and that we have been misled by the news that there is a new upcoming war just so we can be tricked by him to summon a servant so he can take the catalysts?" Sella asked.
Illya nodded her head. "Think about it, why would he risk his servants to reveal themselves to the public and show that there was a new Holy Grail war to the Clock Tower and the Holy Church while robbing a museum for more catalysts."
This caused Sella to realize what Illya was saying. "To let every Magus in the world fight each other for the catalysts and only see their efforts go to waste when they see their catalysts get stolen by that man."
"I suppose that leader was trying to get more catalysts, but to go through all the effort of finding more would be a huge time consumption so he perhaps thinks that revealing himself would let every Magus go find more without getting his hands dirty," Illya said. "We should send the Clock Tower and The Holy Church the news about the issues with the summoning circle."
"Yes, Lady Illya," Sella said.
"Also, send this issue to Grandpa," Illya said as she already knew how he would react to this problem. "He is not going to be happy about this issue."
That was when the ground started glowing red and what appeared to be thousands of red volts suddenly shot through her body.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Flanna screamed as pain filled her torso while red marks began to form all over her body except her head, her skin was smoking as she laid on her back trying to recover from the shock
"Ow, it hurts so mush," she said with a violent hiss as she hugged herself, trying to remain upright. The pain racked her body so violently as the pain flared up her arms and across her chest, and she gritted her teeth. Flanna felt what was obviously blood dribbling down in some part of her body. "Make the pain stop now," she cried in pain.
The burning agony assailed her body once more, but then the pain vanished as soon as it had started.
Flanna heaved with a breath of air. She straightened up and rolled up the sleeve of her black long-sleeved shirt, raising her arm looked at it
There was what appeared to be a tattooed marking engraved into her very skin, the etchings had a jagged pattern to them almost like an edge of a saw or a row of serrated fangs, and they split into three parts everywhere on her body except her head.
"So this is what the Command Seals look like," Flanna thought as she examined one of her arms and searched around her body to see more of the Command Seals. "Wait a minute, if tattoos start to appear on my body then that means..." she said with her crimson eyes narrowing dangerously as she watched the Holy Grail spat out two objects in front of her, one of the objects landed in Flanna's hand and she caught it.
She inscrutably studied what she was holding.
It was crafted scabbard for a sword. It was a luxurious piece of equipment made of gold and decorated with blue enamel that seemed more like a treasure to show dignity and nobility, more like a crown or staff than a weapon. It was also engraved with an inscription on its center, mirrored on each side that she could not understand what the word meant. She quickly placed the scabbard in one of the boxes before looking up.
As Flanna looked up at other objects that were floating in front of the Holy Grail. There was an elongated lance that consisted of a sheet of bladed metal, which almost resembled a sword. And there was another object that was next to it, a piece of a dark, metallic armor.
The Holy Grail started to glow red as Flanna began to hear thunder and lightning roaring, accompanied by rolling clouds that bore on a mighty wind. The water seemed to flash with violet light and blue lightning-like energy crackled around the room.
An expected torrent of prana swept in a roar as she was watching, the flowing prana gathered and solidified, materializing into the shadow of a robust man fully clad in pitch-black armor with spiky protrusions on his shoulders and elbows with clawed gloves. His feet were sharp, and his knees were covered with a spiked guard similar to his elbows. He wore a rustic helmet with a thinly carved slit displaying the ghastly red glow of his eyes. His whole body was enveloped in a black fog with properties similar to chimney's smoke.
The more she stared at the black fog, the more indistinct the details of the armor became. The armor was the work of the delicate and nuanced workmanship of its smith's utmost effort, succeeding in granting it an air of formidability and fine construction. It was a perfect armor that could be called neither exquisite nor crude, and it instead perfectly melded magnificence and functionality. It was carved with countless marks and scratches, the highlights of his various military exploits etched into it to add a touch of valor. It is an ideal battle outfit that all knights could not help but envy, it can also even be capable of taking B Rank (physical/melee) attacks to the face with only a scratch to show for it.
"So this is what it looks like when seeing a servant up close," Flanna said as she studied the black armor of the servant. "But what kind of servant are you with this sinister appearance?" Whoever this servant is, he lacks the radiance of Heroic Spirits that shine the expression of the pride of a Heroic Spirit, an honor of the legends everyone praises and longs for. But this newly appearing black knight had none of the greatness or dignity. The darkness around the black armor definitely held a negative surge like a vengeful spirit. Not only is his armor completely black, but its very appearance seems to warp and twist, acting almost organically-grafted on him.
There was nothing but blood thirst flowing from the Black Knight's aura. Even the whirlwind of prana seemed ominous as a groan full of deep hatred roared.
"Ar...th...ur" This was the voice of the Black Knight, the first time she heard it, it sounded like a moan full of malice that hardly resembled human speech. The Black Knight's armor began to creak and shudder, a clear clatter of metal.
ka-da-ka-da
The gentle sound of the armor that completely covered his limbs, as the pieces rippled softly and knocked against each other under the cover of the black mist, his full-body armor was trembling.
"Arthur?" Flanna said in a confused voice. "Is that someone you know?" she asked the Black Knight as his black helmet start grinding, sobbing noise originating from it.
That's when her brother Benjamin came down to the basement with the rest of his servants. His face had a worried look on it.
"Sister, I just heard you scream in pain," Benjamin asked in a worried voice. "Are you alright, Flanna?"
"I am fine, Benjamin," Flanna replied back and showed him the Command Seals on one of her arms. "Well, more than fine."
The tattooed marking was engraved into her, very skin deep, which caused everyone to stare at the command seals with raised eyebrows and eyes as wide as saucers.
"How?" Benjamin asked as he looked at her hand too, identical patterns were inscribed on Flanna's left and right hands. He knew what they were.
"I am not sure how I got it, Benjamin," Flanna said as she pointed at the Black Knight, which caused almost all of the servants to be on guard just to make sure it does not attack everyone. Benjamin was clearly afraid of the black knight, whoever this person was. He gave off nothing but a murderous intent and the thirst for blood, his deep hatred radiating out from him enough that he could easily be sensed, even if he was hidden in the dark night.
"Enkidu, can you tell what his stats look like?" Benjamin asked Enkidu, who peered at the Black Knight and narrowed his eyes.
"Nothing," Enkidu shook his head and glared at him. "Whatever that fog is, it's preventing me from seeing his stats. It must be his Noble Phantasm that is preventing me from seeing it. The only information visible to him is the master's name, height, weight, alignment, class abilities, and personal skills."
"Can you tell me what his class, class abilities, and skills are?" Benjamin asked as he tried to see the armor, which was hard to see. The outlines of the black armor were always shifting, like a mist, and you would sometimes see it double or triple.
"He is a Berserker Class with a Rank C of Mad Enhancement, his personal skills are Eternal Arms Mastership, Rank A+, Magic Resistance, Rank E and Protection of the Fairies, Rank A," Enkidu described the Black Knight's Stats. "But this is strange for a Berserker to have a Noble Phantasm that can hide most of his stats almost completely. It appears to be some sort of unique curse that takes the person's true identity. It couldn't be a skill proper for a Berserker class."
"What do Eternal Arms Mastership and Protection of the Fairies do anyway?" Benjamin asked as this Black Knight just looked around the basement.
"The Eternal Arms Mastership makes his combat arts reach the point of being said to be unrivaled in one's era. By complete merging of mind, body and technique, it is possible to make use of full fighting skills, even when under the influence of any sort of mental hindrance. And Protection of the Fairies increases his luck in dangerous situations like assassination attempts, one-on-one duels, or ambush attempts, any events that might be considered related to a battle, which increases his luck up to a Rank A," Enkidu explained those personal skills.
"What amazing abilities this Berserker has," Benjamin said in an astounding voice as he shuddered at what would happen if this black knight went all out. "Now what the hell should we do with this Berserker?" It is not like he wants another Berserker servant, in fact, he doesn't care what kind of servant is summoned into this world. As long they don't fight each other, everything will be fine.
He hopes so or he is going to a nearby bar and drinking all the beer before he goes unconscious because of that.
The Black Knight stared down at Flanna who tensed momentarily but then relaxed as the Berserker knelt down on one knee before her in the same fashion like a knight showing respect to a king or queen by kneeling before the latter's presence. Nevertheless, the figure clad in black stood perfectly still for a second, almost as if he wanted to emulate a suit of armor, still settling into a kneeling position before the stillness stunned Flanna who had never had a person kneel before her.
"Berserker, please arise there's no need for you to kneel anymore." She watched as the knight rose to a standing position. He is quite tall, towering Flanna by a foot or so.
"Sister, how the hell did you do that?" Benjamin asked in confusion as Berserker classes are very difficult to control unless one is gifted with superb control over them and yet his sister easily controlled or commanded something that can be described as a Demon Knight of Hell.
Before his sister could answer his question, another rather unexpected torrent of prana power filled the room. The red intricate circle began to glow with power. Wind fluttered inside the room and prana stagnated the air.
Light enveloped the room.
Flanna and Benjamin had to shield their eyes, the other servants did not bother to shield their eyes.
They opened their eyes to only see another Black Knight, but this time was a female one, wearing a black draconic suit of armor with a draconic helm that had yellow glowing eyes on it. She was mounted on a black horse with gray armor and red eyes on its head. What made this servant so frightening was that the weapon she was holding in one hand was a long spiked lance with red thorns wrapped around the black lance.
"I ask you, are you my Master that called me?" the female Black knight asked in a majestic voice with a deep female voice towards Benjamin and Flanna.
So, a lot of things are going on here in this chapter. Flanna is studying each servant's classes and saying her point of view on each one. She is checking on some of the servants' stats and seeing if they are reliable or not and have an issue with an order or not. She has no problem with almost all of the servants, except Lu Bu and Ramesses II, as Flanna now knows Lu Bu's background and feels like he is worth more trouble than being helpful and feels that he is not the type of servant you want to be with.
She would be cautious about Ramesses II showing off around the house, as one of his skills is Charisma, which can easily sway people to his cause, which she feels it is best not to fully have him or other servants who have the same skill, which she was disgusted at how those types of servants could easily control the people with their inhuman charm and charming voice.
Flanna then went down to the basement and touches the Holy Grail out of curiosity. Meanwhile at the same time, Illyasviel, Sella, and Leysritt tried to summon King Artoria, which it is not working at all and a pair of hands steal the two catalysts that in the Summoning ritual that is hijacking. It is sent to the Holy Grail in which she is standing on the Summoning ritual in the Basement, which causes her to be in shock and scream in pain with the Command Seals appearing around her body, legs, arms, and shoulders.
Then two servants appear before her, the Black Knight Lancelot, the first servant that is from Fate Zero, and Artoria Pendragon (Alter) as a Lancer Class from the Fate Grand Order.
Yes, I want to choose that kind of Artoria Pendragon because that class is more interesting than the regular Artoria Pendragon (Saber class). There is a good reason for that because:
1: I am so tired of seeing Artoria Pendragon over and over that she appears more often in Fate series and Fanfic stories (80% to 95% is most likely to be her all the time), where she is always the main character in each one. I am sick of her taking every other saber class role or someone's role and let me tell you, she is not awesome by the way. In practice, though, she tends to be fairly average.
2: She's a really great character, but thanks to being the Cash Cow of Type-Moon, she's become more of a prop and unfortunately, becoming a victim of Flanderization (the act of taking a single (often minor) action or trait of a character within a work and exaggerating it more and more over time until it completely consumes the character) and relentless marketing which begins to make less of a character.
3: In Fate/stay night fanfiction, there are more stories about her and Shiro Emiya, which causes other characters and servants to be overshadowed because them. So a Challenge Idea to you guys is to make sure other characters and servants appear more often, giving the others a chance to shine.
Time to answer some of the Guest reviews. Be careful I explain a lot of stuff here. So I got like 67 reviews, which some of them tell me twice about questions and suggestions or ideas for crossover ideas.
So about the crossover ideas: A crossover with my Fate story is not a good idea, it would be a confusing plot and too hard to tell what is going on. A crossover with Fate series could be a good one, though. So here is my opinion on the crossovers you people suggest:
1, Fairy Tail: No I am not making a crossover with that anime because it is very much on the idealistic side, too much ecchi it almost ruined the show, Camaraderie that is Deus ex Nakama and an abusive use of friendship theme in every possible situation, unlike other popular Shonen, and too many filler arcs. To me, it is certainly one of the worst Shounen I've ever read. It's appallingly derivative, repetitive and just frankly stupid. The fight scene is almost eye-rolling boring; most, if not all, it could be summed up as "the antagonist has the upper hand, power-ups, protags win in one or two hits." Say what you will about most other shonen, even they don't often do this. Last of all, too much plot armor and no main characters ever die in Fairy Tail.
2, Code Geass: That could be a good idea with servants giving hope to the areas and fighting Britannia and yes Lancelot piloting Knightmare Lancelot would be awesome.
3, Queens Blade: Are you serious for suggesting that idea?! Well sure, while that anime is known to be Fanservice, it's actually a quite interesting plot story if you get used to seeing a lot of boobs shoved in your face. The sequel, Queen's Blade Rebellion, and prequel manga Queen's Blade Rebellion Zero actually have a darker narrative and setting, the fanservice is less frequent here and sometimes not played for laughs or sexiness, many characters die in a very brutal way and it's less idealistic and more cynical than the other series.
Yes, it would be interesting to see the women of that world react to the male servants and female servants too. They would actually be wearing clothes that would be sufficient for combat as well with re-designed costumes and almost no nudity.
4, Love Ru: A Big No. It is not suitable for a crossover with Fate Series and not for a harem setting.
5, Vandread: I am not sure how can I fit that in as a crossover.
6, Rozen Maiden: That setting and story sound like a Holy Grail, which is the series where 7 sisters fight across the entire multiverse in a free-for-all battle to kill each other, just to appeal to a god-like father figure. This could be a good crossover and I just need to watch and read it.
7, RWBY: Yes I would gladly love making a crossover with it. The issue is that the RWBY crossover is overfilled with a lot of other people's stories too, which my story would get overshadowed so quickly with so many updates, there wouldn't be many reviews or views. So I would wait until over-hyped updates with RWBY crossover stop updating so many.
8, Fire Emblem Awakening: I am sure I can make a crossover with that but I would have to watch the walkthrough of it.
9, Gundam Seed: I have no idea what kind of anime that is and would fit the crossover with it.
10, Sekirei: This anime is actually quite interesting because it started out primarily as fanservice and comedy, but has developed into a more serious, character-driven story over time. It still delivers on the fanservice but has a stronger focus on plot and characterization.
11, One Piece Unlimited Adventure: Nope I would not make a crossover because I have never heard of it or play it.
12, Akame Ga Kill : that could be a good idea, but I would have to think about it.
Guest chapter 18 . May 3 When Angra Mainyu is summoned, what will he look like, will he have his original form or will he copy Shiro or Benjamin appearance: His original form or his true form.
Guest chapter 18 . May 9 How about Eric Lecarde's spear for Benjamin and you could have the spear have a transformation like it starts like in the original Castlevania Bloodlines then it becomes like in Castlevania Judgement: First of all, that spear looks like a size of a surfboard and Benjamin would spend more time lifting the spear up than fighting with it. The original one would break in half with brute force that looks like a stick and no, Benjamin would not use that to just look cool.
Guest chapter 18 . Apr 30 Did you watch DxD and if so how about you give Ben a sacred gear-like weapon like Scale Mail or the Spear of Longinus: While I did watch DXD back then, giving him a sacred gear is a big no because it said, "That only humans or human hybrids can be born with Sacred Gears" Benjamin has nothing inside of him and I am not trying to give him special hidden powers. And the worse of all, that sacred gear can take too long to reach full power and might kill him if he is using it incorrectly in a bad way.
Guest chapter 18 . Apr 28 Ben could get Xaldins spears from kingdom hearts: The spears could work, but those wicked-looking pointy bits could easily get snagged in your opponent's body or armor, which could be very bad if the thrust didn't kill them, or they have friends.
Guest chapter 18 . May 22 How about having Ben learn hand to hand combat moves like Pankration a Greek fighting style: Yes, hand to hand combat moves or military ones are the most effective techniques and easy to learn, while any martial arts style will take years to learn and a lifetime to master. He also would need to learn boxing and wrestling. As Bruce Lee once commented that a person who has trained for a year in boxing and a year in wrestling could beat any eastern martial artist in a no-holds-barred fight.
Guest chapter 18 . May 21 Could you have Illya have the magical girl powers she has in Fate Kaleid: No, that is an alternate universe spin-off, not a Fate series.
Guest chapter 18 . Apr 30 Will Ben fight Jubstacheit von Einzbern and free Illya: Nope, Why would he care about fighting him and free Illya? He doesn't know them at all. He is not like Shirou Emiya, who ends up jumping headfirst into any situation whenever he feels it's the right thing to do and save people. He has other things to do besides saving people who he does not know how to survive fighting other Magi.
Guest chapter 18 . Apr 29 For the original servants how about Chinese ones be Based on their Dynasty Warriors counterparts: That is a good one, maybe like Cao Cao and Guan Yu who are good ones.
Guest chapter 18 . May 16 you know it would be cool if ben and flanna had weapons based on the ones from doom like lets they make custom weapons: If you are talking about make huge custom weapons made by themselves then Nope because Flanna and Benjamin are not engineers and mechanics like Isaac Clarke(Dead Space or Chuck Greene (Dead Rising). They would just pick guns with attachments that are the build-a-bear workshop of guns and not combo weapons which would be an impossibly cool looked weapon and powerful but impractical not as useful as it might seem. If they do make good custom weapons it requires too many resources to use, maybe it has a considerable chance of failing or backfiring that makes it unreliable from the start. In another word "A cool tool with severe drawbacks."
Guest chapter 18 . May 11 How about giving Flanna equipment from either snake from MGS or Sam fisher from splinter cell because since she was trained in the military the learn how to fight with knives and snake and Sam have knives: Flanna is a first lieutenant who fought in Gulf war, she is not a super soldier or a special force as she is not going to have that equipment which I am not sure that stuff is real and not stand out with a customize uniform so enemy could immediately know that they were going up against the best.
Also, that tighter attire they wear is uncomfortable. Snake's Sneaking Suit and Sam Fisher's suits are very form-fitting without any wrinkles or bends and seems to do an impossible amount of tricks(Go read them's suits in the each wiki), it doesn't do much good. So a big no, it stands out too much.
Yes, She knows how to fight with knives as she was trained in the military. The knife is also a useful tool as it has literally countless uses, even around the average home. A knife can net you all the tools you need to make fire, get food, and get the resources to make clean drinkable water. Saying nothing of its self-defense applications, a knife is probably the single most versatile tool ever created. In fact, its utility is only limited by the materials used to make it and the amount of force that can be applied to it.
Guest chapter 18 . May 12 can you bring dead actors as servants and give them abilities from there movies like for example heath ledger would have joker abilities because it was his most famous role: Big No because you have to do and great deeds in life and become objects of worship after your deaths. And also Heath Ledger is still alive in AU of 2001
Guest chapter 18 . May 9 Hey will Morgana appear and if so since we don't know much about her could you make her personality like Ragyo from Kill LA kill but have the appearance she had in king Arthur and the knights of justice: Look at below for that is your answer, There is a Morgan le Fay page which shows her personality and appearance in the manga version of Fate stay night. If she appears in the special event then she would appear in the story.
Guest chapter 18 . May 3 hey will Mashu (shielder) summon and if so will Galahad make an appearance and also will all the knights of round table be summoned at the same time: When Fate Grand order Chapter 6 of Sacred Round Table Realm - Camelot" - "The Shining Airgetlám" is set to be released then we should see if all of Knights of the Round Table would be see or available. If there is a true form of Galahad the yes he would be summoned but if he does not show up then he would be Mashu form, does not worry he can take it easily as a girl because it says that he is renowned for his gallantry and purity.
Guest chapter 18 . May 5 In fate grand order Kiritsugu and Irisviel are servants (Assasin and Caster) so could you have Benjamin summon them: Yes he would summon them but not right now as I want them to be summoned in right time which is too early to do that.
Guest chapter 18 . May 3 Will Executor, Templar, Temptress, Beast and Monster be summoned?: I am not even sure about those classes, are they just titles given to the irregular beings or self-declared nicknames
Guest chapter 18 . May 10 Here some ideas for firearms for ben Colt python 357 magnums 6" barrel, Franchi spas-12 shotgun, m79 grenade launcher, Thompson submachine gun, dual uzi, armor piercing sniper rifle and maybe a quad rocket launcher: Thank for those firearms as some of them can bring in gun store and some of them cannot buy for civilian so Flanna have to go buy in a black market
Guest chapter 18 . May 2 Will you be putting a pool for Benjamin female servant relationship?: No, because if I did everyone would just pick the most popular one and not well known female servants.
Guest chapter 18 . May 5 you know what would make this story more awesome if you summon Bruce Lee as an assassin and maybe Michael Jackson and Elvis as a caster: First of all Bruce Lee can not be assassin class because he is a fighter. Michael Jackson and Elvis can not be Caster class as none of them learn magic because they are singers, musicians and actors. None of them have any requirements to be in a class and do not have any great impact in world. That is not a awesome ideas, it just a badly-implemented one which it sound cool but it is not
Guest chapter 18 . Apr 29 Is Flanna fighting style be like a combination of Kiritsugu and Kirei, in your opinion who would win Flanna(reinforcement) vs Kiritsugu: Flanna would fight like a soldier who is taught to take down hard or kill or cripple her enemy. So who would win, I would go on about each one but to make it short so the answer is that when Both of them will often be fighting on the front lines when they meet each other. The encounter for Flanna(soldier) vs Kiritsugu(Magus Killer) will be decided by who has more health, who is buff the most, who has the most skills in combat or close combat, who can make each bullet shot count at each other, who can outmaneuvering and outdamaging, who fires first, who can predicting each other movements while remaining mobile, which conditions of a battlefield or scenarios that they are on and which primary weapons the two of them are wielding.
Ben (with reinforcement) vs Shiro: This one is going to be hard to answer. Benjamin would be at disadvantageous fight against Shiro Emiya with medieval weapons as Shiro can just use his projection to call upon any weapons in the world, weapons that are scan upon seeing them once and his Overpower Reality Marble but Benjamin can still win with some good chances at win as long he is using an anti-magic weapon like Gae Dearg to pierce directly through any projection made of magical energy also enhanced enhancements and ability boosts rendered useless when struck by the spear, and any item that acts as a magical energy source. If this is a hand to hand combat fight then Benjamin would win as Shiro Emiya was not trained in hand to hand fight as I see him get beat up by Souichirou Kuzuki in the new anime
And one more thing if Shiro fights any servants that he fought in Fifth Holy Grail war then he is going to have a very hard time win against them as they have buff supports, knowledge about him, know some or most of his tricks, knows most of the terrain advantage, new strategy and tactics against him. If there are Servants who are really on a completely different level to most Servants then he would be very much screw as they have a minimal weakness for Shiro to know and winning by analysis their weapons down to its creation, its history, its previous usage and the wielder's skill. Some of them are a natural counter to Shiro like Lancelot, Heracles as Archer class and Karna which any of them hit him for one time he is going to die badly.
For those who give me ideas for a new servant, I would tell who I going to summon, oh about Miyamoto Musashi, he is in the original data mined list of Servants. I would add a new Heroic Spirit in my story. The first one servant would be Caster Skuld, Scandinavian Elvish Princess. Google and search her name, she would be a very interesting servant. Also, there would be no alter ego servants here in my story because they are more of a fanservice
For those who are suggestions for Benjamin to wear armor that is from Killer Instinct, Shredder TMNT, and Ironman: No, They are too heavy to wear and run with it as he is not trained for wear heavy armor which he would get tired or get too hot so Benjamin just wears a lighter but more mobile of modern body armor which each one is a tradeoff. He would get special battle armor when the war with magus begins.
Also, would he fight like Nightwing and Red Hood and use their Gear and skills? Not very close to them.
For those who are Suggestions for Benjamin to have paired with Medusa or Medea. No, because first of all Medusa is part of Shiro Emiya's harem group and Medea would eventually treat Benjamin as a younger sibling. Also, would try to dress Flanna in a dress. And Flanna paired Vlad or Gilgamesh, those are some of most crack pairing I have ever see, first of all, Vlad is like a cool uncle which she would treat him like a parental substitute and Gilgamesh, no chance for that to happen.
Please leave a review and a favorite to this story. Any good suggestions or ideas that are interesting for me to write down for the next chapter and also do not give me any terrible and badly-implemented ideas or just are pure suggestions that sound like a good idea without researching what it is. Because If you do that I would just delete it.
