AN: So the Uniforms from the Id Singularity/ Ordeal Call 2 is the uniform Harry's wearing. It'll be also what he'll be wearing when he'll be at Hogwarts as well.
Ch 79 First Day of School
That Night, Harry tossed and turned, sweat coming down his face as he began to Dream. "Hmm…nmmm…"
Harry gasped, seeing he was in a strange Cave like the last time. Around him were his Mother and Fou along with many Servants he was familiar with a few exceptions. Suddenly, a familiar voice spoke,
"This is the one and only word of advice you receive from me." A tan Man with long unruly white in red and white robes spoke, his eyes were black with red iris. He smiled, glaring at them.
Harry heard a thud, turning to see Sakata Kintoki in a white shirt, black jeans, and wearing Sunglasses fell to his knees before falling face down, "K-Kintoki…"
"If you wished to live, you'll abandon this useless Quest of yours and surrender to me." The tanned Servant spoke to him. "There's no other way,"
"W-What is-" Harry paused, seeing an Adult form of Aria in a blue Kimono fall back on the ground.
Harry wasn't sure, he wanted to look away. However, his Head moved to face the Servant now covered in red and black Flames with a smile. "The matter of keeping you Alive or killing you is something with no consequence to me." He said as an auburn-haired Man in a green coat and a long brown side jacket dropped his Book. Falling face down to the ground.
The young Boy was scarred, unsure of what was happening around him. "However," Harry looks up, hearing him speak to him or rather his Father. "If you continue to persist and manage to somehow destroy all Seven Singularities…"
The last Servant, Mordred fully armored struggled to stand but ultimately fell, unable to continue. "M-Mordred…" Harry said, seeing one of the strongest Servants he met fell before him.
Harry flinched, feeling the Flames increased as the white-haired Servant smiled down at him. "I might be persuaded to look at things anew and reconsider my stance." The Servant flips his robes, disappearing into the Flames.
The young Boy could feel his teeth gritted, his hand reached out on its own to the Servant. "Ngh, wait!" His Father's voice spoke out of his mouth,
Harry flinched, feeling the struggle his Father was enduring at that moment. He knelt on the ground, feeling weakened, his Command Seals all used up during that fight.
He heard his Mother gasp, her armor clanging when turning. "Senpai, are you alright?" Harry saw his Father clench the ground, feeling the despair in the moment.
"Ngh…K-King of…Mages…" Ritsuka/Harry slams his hand on the ground, feeling defeated. Looking up, he could see that the Flames were encroaching upon him.
Suddenly a flash came out of nowhere, slicing through the Flames.
Harry's eyes opened wide, immediately sat up from his Bed. He was sweating after seeing such a desperate and failed attempt to stop what seemed to be a powerful Foe. "K-King of Mages…"
"Fou?" Harry turns to his side, seeing Fou sitting on his pillow. The Beast tilted his head, curious what had made him wake up suddenly.
"Another Dream of Dad and Mom," Harry said, placing his hand over his Head.
"Master, are you alright?" The young Boy looks up, seeing Zhou Yu materializing before him from his Astral Form. "Is it another Dream?" The Strategist asked his master.
Harry nodded, seeing Zhou Yu was worried about him. "Yeah, Mom and Dad were fighting a Servant called the King of Mages. There were a lot of familiar Servants with them but they were defeated…"
Zhou Yu nodded, "I see…Dreams aren't my cup of Tea, master. However, I do believe there's some meaning behind this." The Archer advises the young Heir to think about these Dreams. "Didn't Jack say you should consul some Servants here?"
"Yeah, she said that there are some here who have an affinity for Dreams," Harry said, deciding to look for those Servants in the Morning.
The grey-haired Archer nodded, "You'll do that, master." Zhou Yu said, "Now get some sleep, you'll need it for tomorrow."
Harry nodded, saying good Night to his Archer Servant.
Zhou Yu was about to step outside of the Room. Only to have the Count of Monte Cristo appear. "Count, what are you doing here this late?" He asked the Avenger.
"…" The Count looks at the Strategist, explaining things to him.
With that, Zhou Yu disappears with the Count, leaving a sleeping Harry and Fou behind.
In the Morning, Ritsuka was adjusting the cuffs of his Mystic Code. "How do I look, Mashu?" He asked his Wife, looking for her opinion.
Mashu looked at her Husband, smiling at him. "You look good, Ritsuka." She said, walking over to adjust the pin on his strap. "There, now you're ready."
"Thanks, Mashu," Ritsuka said, smiling at her before walking into the Rayshift Room where Sion has called for every Servant within the Wandering Sea. She also set up a private channel for every Chaldean Branch to hear what Humanity's last master would say.
Ritsuka enters the room where many Servants are gathered around the Rayshift.
Servants from the Anti-Succession Faction, (though small), include Yui Shosetsu, Cagliostro, Vritra, Bhima, Cu Chulainn Alter, Sugitani Zenjubo, Wu Zetian, Carmilla, Baobhan Sith, and Hessian Lobo (Lobo opposes him due to him being Human, Hessian is alright with his master's choices.)
The Neutral Faction in the Wandering Sea consists of, Alice Kuonji, Takasugi Shinsaku, Ko-Gil, Zhang Jue, Avicebron, Paracelsus von Hohenheim, Li Shuwen (Lancer), Scathach, Scheherazade, Henry Jekyll, Chloe, and the Lion King.
Finally, the Succession Faction is the largest in the Wandering Sea, consisting of Nemo and his Marines, Parvati, Gareth, Setanta, Don Quixote and Sancha Panza, Britomart, Jeanne D'Arc Alter Santa Lily, Jack, Alice, Arturia Lily, both Merlins, Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, Fionn Mac Cumhaill, Barghest, Melusine, Paul Bunyan, Illya, Miyu, and many others.
Ritsuka steps forward, seeing everyone gathered under his request. "Thank you for coming here on short notice," He addressed his Servants, standing beside him were Mashu and Sion. "I'm aware that you all know that my Son, Harry, is currently here in the Wandering Sea. Many of you met him during our expedition in France, some heard rumors that he had defeated Tezcatlipoca at a Grail Front and BB in her Singularity."
"I also know there are Factions regarding Harry's place in Chaldea's affairs." He looks at each Servant, knowing who's who in this inner conflict. "Some are in support of Harry, aiding him however they can. Some were neutral about it, seeing how he develops and intervenes when necessary. However, those who have yet to see his potential or outright refuse because they're afraid for him or just straight out hate him."
Ritsuka pulled out the Flashdrive containing a certain Moon Cancer. "If you don't know, anyone who is directly 'testing' my Son's capabilities." He showed the Flashdrive containing a certain AI.
Every Servant knew what that Flashdrive entails, "They'll be severely punished, take BB for an example here." Ritsuka said as words appeared on the small screen.
-ZZZ- PLEASE END MY SUFFERING! LIZ'S COVER OF IDOL IS THE WORST! -ZZZ-
Many shutters upon seeing BB's Punishment Drive, plus with the gentle smile on his face weren't helping the situation at all.
"Now, if you plan to test my Son please run it by me. If you were to execute it without my knowledge, well…you all see BB now don't you?" Ritsuka asked, indicating that BB was made into an example if they were out of line.
Just when things were wrapping up, the door slid open revealing a young Teenaged Girl with white hair with black tips. She's wearing Modern Clothing; a puffy jacket, a short white dress, mix-matching socks, sneakers, and a hate similar to a certain Queen of France within the group of Servants.
"Yes, yes, I know…" Marie Antoinette Alter held a Smartphone, talking to someone on the other end. "Hmm? No, I got this meeting regarding the young master…Ha, maybe if you didn't decide to stay at the Defense Station then you could see and judge his worth." The Avenger spoke, not caring about the staring eyes around her.
Marie Alter laughs, hearing what the other Person said. "Yeah, I gotta go. Master is giving me a look." The former Queen of France smirks, going to end the call. "Talk to you later, Stheno."
Ritsuka smiled at his Avenger, walking towards the group of Servants. "Glad you can join us, Marie Alter. I take it Stheno isn't coming?" The Magus asked the white-haired Servant.
"You know Stheno, master. She prefers to see things on the sidelines like Euryale." Marie Alter steps next to another Version of herself.
She wore a red dress and gloves with a black skirt. She wore a giant Hat dawn with many jewels, white knee-high boots, and silver armor. Their eyes were different with hers being yellow and the other a crystal blue.
"Hey there, Marie." Marie Alter greeted her other self, turning from her cheery gaze.
Marie Antoinette giggles, smiling at her Alter Version. "Good morning, Alter. I see you were talking to Stheno," The Rider commented, knowing she and the Greek Goddess were close like Friends.
The Avenger gave a chuckle, placing her hand on her side. "You know it, so, what did I miss?" Marie Alter asked as a dark-skinned Man wearing glasses, and a blue School Uniform with two floating silver arches approached her.
"Master has discussed that we aren't supposed to test the young Heir…." Arjuna Alter, the accumulation of the Hindu Pantheon and Lostbelt King of the Indian Lostbelt spoke to his fellow Alter.
"Arjuna Alter, what's with that outfit?" Marie Alter asked, raising a brow at the Lostbelt King as everyone began to leave the area.
"Marie, Marie Alter, Arjuna Alter, Arturia Lily, I have an important task for you all." Ritsuka came up to the Four Servants,
Arturia Lily paused, hearing their master calling them. She smiled, walking to join the other Three. "Hai, master?" The Wielder of Caliburn asked Ritsuka, curious about what he needed.
Marie Alter looks at the random group of Servants, "Say, master why did you call us here?" She asked, raising her brow at the black-haired Magus.
"Does it pertell the young master's Education?" Marie asked with an innocent expression.
Arturia Lily looks at their master, smiling at him. "We'll help anyway we can for the young master," The young King of Knights stated, wanting to help Harry grow and learn. "Whatever it is, name it."
Arjuna Alter merely nodded, adjusting his Glasses. "Whatever it is, I believe it has to do with my Student President outfit, am I right, master?" The Lostbelt King asked, having an inkling feeling.
Ritsuka appreciated their assistance in making Harry's time at the Wandering Sea more fun. "Why, yes, it is…Student Council." He smiled and hinted at what he wanted them to do or rather be.
After getting dressed in a white shirt with a red tie, a black jacket, and pants. On the right breast side of the jacket was an embordered Chaldean Logo and some dark brown leather shoes. Harry exited his Room; Fou tagged along on his shoulders as he made their way to the Mess Hall.
"I have to admit, I'm getting used to these Outfits Mom has set for me," Harry spoke to the Beast over his shoulders.
"Fou, Fou." The Beast agrees, seeing that Harry with the Contact Lens was a lot like Ritsuka if he was a Child.
Harry smiled, hearing the Beast agree with him. "Though, I'd at least expect Zhou Yu to greet me this Morning." The young Boy looks forward, "He always does; before the Seraphix Singularity and afterward. Maybe he's at the Mess Hall with everyone."
"Fou,"
"Count Alessandro di Cagliostro or Giuseppe Balsamo, the Count who was deeply involved with Occult and Secret Societies. He was also rumored to be involved in the Diamond Necklace Affair with Marie Antoinette to discredit the French Royal Family." Harry said, remembering what he learned from Moriarty's Tutoring Lesson when they covered France. "I can't believe someone like him is acting Vice-Principal." He said to himself,
"Fou…"
Soon enough the young Boy and the Beast arrived at the Mess Hall of the Wandering Sea. They could hear chatter behind the closed door, entering he could see how lively the place was. "Wow…"
Harry saw many People/Servants around, eating Breakfast. "Good Morning, Big Brother!" Harry turns around and sees Jack wearing a similar outfit as his but with a grey skirt, black stockings, and loafers. "Are you excited for today? We are too!"
The young Boy gave a confused expression, unsure what she meant by that. "What do you mean, Jack?" Harry asked,
"Um, duh? You're going to School with us!" The Assassin cheered, raising a brow at her Future master. "Didn't the Bad Count tell you yesterday or Big Brother?"
Harry had nearly forgotten that he was going to learn how to be a Mage and what it means to be the next master of Humanity. "I'd almost forgotten about that, after another strange Dream I had and was unable to find Zhou Yu, I forgot I was going to learn things here."
Jack giggles, looking up at Harry. "Big Brother, are you still having those strange Dreams?" She asked the young master.
"Yeah, this time it's about when Mom and Dad were facing a tan man with long white hair. They were in front of a Machine that was making this strange Fog." Harry explains, not noticing the shocked expression on the Serial Killer's face.
'That was the Fourth Singularity. Did Big Brother Dream about Big Brother and Mashu fighting Goetia?' Jack shook her head, not wanting to ruin his time learning. Her eyes then shifted to a blonde-haired Girl wearing a similar outfit to Jack but in her hair was an orange and black bows. In her arm was an orange teddy bear,
"Oh, Abby! Over here!" The Assassin called for the Girl over.
"Hmm? What is it, Jackie?" Abby asked, having a plate of Pancakes in the other hand while holding her Bear. She looks up, finally noticing the young master. "Oh, you're Mr. Ringleader's Child, it's nice to meet you."
Harry smiled, greeting the Servant back. "Nice to meet you, um...Ringleader? Are you talking about my Dad?"
Abby blushed, realizing she forgot to introduce herself to him. "S-So sorry, Ringleader is something I was used to when I met your Father. It just sticks to me."
"Oh, I'm Abigail Williams a Foreigner Servant or Abby. I hold the power of Sut-Typhon, an Outer God. Oh, and this here is Hugo," The Foreigner smiled showing her Bear to him before panicking. "O-Oh, sorry, I'm sure you don't know who's that yet."
"No, I don't but I do know who you are," Harry said, knowing Abigail Williams very well. "You're the young Girl who was accused of performing Witchcraft along with Betty Parris in Sixteen Ninety-Two, during the Salem Witch Trials." He paused, remembering something from his Uncle Sirius and Remus. "You're pretty Famous in the Wizarding World too, many looked up to you. They say you attended a Wizarding School in North America when it was constructed." He commented,
"Oh wow, you do know about us Servants and our History," Abby said before correcting something on what he said. "But, I'm afraid you're wrong on the last bit. I've never attended a School of Witchcraft before; I was just a normal Girl at the time learning from Tituba about her Home Country." The Foreigner explains, never having a connection to the Wizarding World unlike most in Chaldea.
"O-Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know that." Harry apologizes to the blonde Girl.
Abby shook her head, understanding where Harry was coming from. "It's alright, no harm done. Now, Jackie, is there something you need from me?" She turned to the Serial Killer who was watching on the side.
Jack nodded, flinching upon hearing Abby speak. "Ah, yes we do!" The Assassin looks at Harry, explaining the situation to her and his Dreams.
The blonde Foreigner nodded, listening to Harry's Dream situation. "I see…from what I heard, you've been Dreaming about Mr. Ringleader's Adventures in the Singularities," Abby said, trying to piece it together. "Usually, it's a Servants' Past that a master Dreams about. However, yours is different." She frowns, seeing this was a bit complex for her.
"I'm sorry, but that's a bit complex for me. I have to talk to other Dream-based Servants." Abby explains, looking at Harry. "But I'll find some answers for you when I get the chance." She said, wanting to help in Harry's predicament.
The black-haired Boy nodded, happy at least they had a start. "Thank you, Abby. I appreciate it." Harry said, scratching his head a bit. "Um…you don't need to call me young master, you know. You can call me Harry if you want."
Abby nodded, happy to be given the chance to call Harry by his Name. "Alright, you- I mean, Harry. Hmm? Oh, Mr. Ringleader and Mr. Jekyll!" The blonde Servant noticed Ritsuka and a strawberry blonde-haired Man with green eyes with Glasses, wearing a Victorian Suit and a black fading-to-blue coat over his shoulders.
"Hey, Jack, Abby, Hars, and you too Fou. I see you're all getting along." Ritsuka said, wearing his Decisive Battle Mystic Code.
The three nodded, replying to his question. "Yeah!"
"That's great," Ritsuka said, happy to see Harry having some Bonding time with some Kids around his Age. Draco and Daphne in London was great too; however, it was a bit short. This is exactly what he and Mashu wanted for Harry when they arrived in Novum Chaldea.
Ritsuka looks at Harry, wanting to go through something with him. "Harry, your Mom and I will be a bit busy for a few Days. Someone very important from the Clocktower will be visiting that needs my attention." The black-haired Magus.
Harry understands, knowing anything revolving around the Association means it's important. "I understand, Dad." He said,
"Great, thanks, Bud." Ritsuka reaches out, ruffling his hair. "When things are settled I'll teach you a few things I know,"
"Really? That sounds great, Dad." Harry smiled, feeling excited to have a one-on-one Lesson with his Father.
Ritsuka smiled before turning to the Servant next to him. "Ah, almost forgot." He motions his hand to the Servant, introducing him to Harry. "Hars, this is Henry Jekyll, he'll be your Academic Advisor here in the Wandering Sea."
Jekyll gave a small smile to the young master, greeting him with respect. "Hello there young master, I'm Henry Jekyll. I'm an Assassin in charge of advising you on your Studies if you ever need it." The Assassin explains, "I'm looking forward to working with you."
The young Boy looks at the Assassin Servant, surprised to see yet another Literary Figure being a Servant. "You're Dr. Henry Jekyll from the Nineteenth Century Novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The Scientist who created a serum to separate the Evil side of yourself, which created Mr. Hyde." He said, knowing the Story well.
Jekyll blushed, unsure how to feel when a Child of Nine knows his Story. He covered his blushing cheeks, looking away from Harry. "I-I'm, I wasn't expecting that a Child like yourself knows about me and Hyde's Story." The Assassin said,
"You're giving yourself little credit, Jekyll. You and Hyde are pretty well-known in the Modern Era." Ritsuka looks at the Assassin Servant, knowing he's a bit self-conscious about his Legend. "There's even renditions of your Story in TV Shows and other Media."
"Master," Jekyll was a bit embarrassed but in a good way at how Ritsuka was talking about him and Hyde. He then cleared his throat, returning to his professional front. He took out a sheet of paper and handed it to Harry. "Ahem, in any case, young master here's your Schedule for the Day. Your First Lesson is with Merlin, it'll be down the Hall to the left."
Fou frowns, now having a job when Harry meets the Mage of Flowers.
The Scientist smiled, "If you need anything don't hesitate to ask me." Jekyll said, walking further into the Mess Hall.
Harry and Fou looked at his Schedule, seeing many Names of Historical Figures listed on it. He looked at his Father, asking him something. "M-Merlin, as in the Wizard who taught King Arthur everything during his younger Days? He'll be my Teacher!?"
Ritsuka chuckles, nodding to his Son's statement. "Yeah, don't let his Legend depict what he's like in Person. He can be quite the handful but he's very helpful." The Magus said, "I think you'll learn a lot from him." He smiled,
Harry nodded, excited to meet and learn many things from the Person who taught his Idol everything. After eating his Breakfast, Harry and Fou made their way to meet his First Teacher.
"Welcome, Harry to your First ever Lesson with yours truly!" A white-haired young Man wearing white robes and holding a Staff greeted the young black-haired Boy. "I am the Magus of Flowers and Mentor to none other than King Arthur Pendragon, the Grand Caster, Merlin." He smiled at Harry, waiting for the moment to meet him.
"A pleasure, young master."
Harry blinks, standing at the entrance of the doorway. "…"
"…EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?"
