Chapter Eleven Rin: My turn, draw a card!

Dust rose and fell, the original magic circle gradually disappeared, and Shirou's magic power traversed the barriers of time, heading towards the distant past.

————Jianlan Hill.

It seemed as if the place was forever frozen in time at dusk, with the golden afterglow of the orange sunset, like ears of wheat, falling on the girl's face.

Corpses piled up like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, and the pungent stench of blood permeated the battlefield, contrasting sharply with the bright red flags.

As the girl stood quietly waiting, the clouds in the sky suddenly began to move faster.

"That is……"

A hole appeared in the clouds above, and golden light surged out, enveloping the Knight King within it.

……

"I will definitely win this Holy Grail War!" Rin stood on the second floor of her mansion, looking intently at the Command Seals on the back of her right hand.

"The Holy Grail War is a bloodbath for the sole Holy Grail, a ritual passed down for hundreds of years..."

The battle for the "Holy Grail," which can grant the wishes of its holder, is the Holy Grail War in a broad sense.

Originally, the "Summoning Ritual" was a magic ritual used to save the primate world. Seven Servants, each representing the pinnacle of their respective attributes—Grand Servants—would appear and vanquish the great calamity that was hindering the development of the primate world.

For their own convenience, humans downgraded this magic into a summoning system, which is the Holy Grail War.

Mages who participate in the Holy Grail War are called Masters.

To participate in the Holy Grail War, one must summon a Servant and form a contract with them.

No matter how excellent a magician is, if their abilities are not recognized by the Servant, they will not be recognized as a Master.

Servants and familiars commonly used by mages are fundamentally different in that their summoning and control methods are also completely different from those of ordinary familiars.

To put it more clearly, compared to Servants, familiars are just commonly used basic tools, while Servants are weapons with super destructive power, like atomic bombs, and they also have self-awareness.

This is undoubtedly a force capable of influencing the world.

Basically, all the mages who participate in the Holy Grail War will prepare to summon Servants for this day.

The relics.

"But I don't have any of them..."

Rin paced back and forth in her room, feeling a bit of a headache.

There's a reason why we haven't prepared the relics even though we have so much time.

Because Rin wants to summon the strongest Saber (swordsman) recorded in past data, and Rin's standard is naturally to choose a hero who is famous in history.

However, this put her in a very awkward situation. Although she had some assets as the successor of the Tohsaka family, she was not yet at the point where she could easily buy relics.

So the situation ended up being that she couldn't afford the good artifacts, and there was no need to care about the less desirable ones.

However, even without the relic, Rin felt no fear or regret whatsoever.

Escaping is pointless and not in her nature.

That's the idea, but without artifacts, it's impossible to summon a Servant.

There are indeed records of summoning without using any relics, but if she were to summon like that, the most likely outcome would be that she would be unable to attract any Servants without any response.

Even so, I still have my last trump card.

Rin took off the pocket watch that she always carried around her neck.

"Servants are drawn to symbols, and if you want to summon a powerful Saber, that item that is closely related to the Servant is essential."

Historical legends reveal that heroes and demigods possess symbolic weapons or artifacts, which serve as bridges for communication—the function of relics.

The pocket watch in Rin's hand now carries a lot of weight; moreover, the gems embedded in the watch have a very high purity of magic.

"There's no point in thinking about anything else now. Never mind, there's a way without the relic. Apart from me, there's no other Master who can control Saber. Even that guy is no exception!"

Rin's confidence is well-founded; her magical attributes are the five elements (earth, water, fire, wind, and space), making her a unique "Five Elements Master (AverageOne)".

It is compatible with almost all magic, and conversely, it can interfere with most existing magic.

Rin's main magic circuits are forty, and the auxiliary ones are thirty each. The mental image that activates the circuits is the image of her heart being stabbed by a knife. Normally, her magic power is around five hundred, but if she has something to supply her, it may exceed one thousand.

"let's start……"

At this moment, Rin is about to summon a Servant in her most complete state and forcibly obtain Saber!

Time passed slowly, and as the clock hands approached two in the morning, Rin immediately went to the basement to set up a magic circle.

Now is the best time for Rin.

The 'demon' reached its peak at exactly 2 a.m. This was the first and last chance within the limits, and even the slightest mistake could not be made.

"————Retreating in disappearance, leaving behind a retreating array surrounding the summoning array. Good, complete."

Rin carved a magic circle on the basement floor.

In fact, summoning a Servant does not require such complicated steps or any magical materials.

The most important point is to connect to the Throne of Heroes and have the Heroic Spirits respond to the call.

At that time, all that is needed is to provide the actual magic power. The summoning will actually be done by the Heroic Spirits themselves, and the Master on this side will not need to do anything extra.

Preparing these summoning magic circles is more of a "ritual."

However, Rin didn't care about these things. After all, these materials didn't cost much, and if they could provide even a little bit of help for her upcoming summoning, it would be worth it.

"Pure silver and iron, the great duke who made a pact with the foundation stone, my ancestors are my teachers, the gates open in all directions but are all closed, emerging from the crown, and cycling again and again on the fork in the road to the kingdom."

Rin drew a bright red magic circle on the wooden floor of the living room, but this bright red liquid was not blood; it was made by Rin dissolving red gemstones.

Even though the Tohsaka family has declined somewhat, Rin's assets are still very substantial.

"Shut down, shut down, shut down, shut down! Repeat five times, but the moment of fullness must be broken!"

Chapter Twelve Scáthach

After glancing back at the time and confirming that it was already 2 a.m. on the wall clock, Rin turned her gaze to the magic circle on the ground and focused all her magical energy into it.

"————Anfang (setting)!"

Rin's magical circuits began to produce a pain similar to a knife piercing her heart as they circulated, but Rin only frowned slightly.

The magic that flows constantly throughout the body is pure magic contained in the atmosphere. This energy is absorbed into the body, circulates within the body, and is eventually transformed into magic that one can use.

A magician's body is merely a circuit, circulating the magical energy in the atmosphere within him, utilizing the energy that naturally exists in this world.

To create something.

These things that seem incredible to ordinary people are called magic.

"Ugh... Ah...!"

As the magical energy in the atmosphere continued to pour in, Rin, who had initially been able to handle it with ease, gradually couldn't help but clench her teeth and let out painful whimpers.

She endured the pain until her clothes were soaked with sweat, but even in this state, Rin had no intention of stopping. Instead, she continued chanting the incantation with a determined look in her eyes.

"Declare——"

Each cycle of atmospheric magic within her body's circuits brought Rin immense pain, which she endured with her powerful willpower.

"—I declare that you are beneath me, and my fate rests on your sword. If you follow the destiny of the Holy Grail, and abide by this will and this principle, then respond!"

As the incantation reached its final stage, Rin closed her eyes, her vision plunging into darkness. But she remained calm and continued to recite the remaining incantations with unwavering resolve.

"I swear here that I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world, and I am the one who conveys all evil in the world. For seven days, I have been bound by your three great incantations, coming from the Wheel of Restraint, guardian of the scales—!!"

Having finally completed the final incantation, Rin, her face covered in sweat, revealed a joyful expression.

That felt amazing, like waiting all day while deep-sea fishing and finally catching a whale.

"Perfect! This way, I'll definitely get the strongest Servant!"

A wisp of white silk floated in the air, and then a purple figure appeared in front of Rin's vision.

She was examining her clothes with a somewhat troubled tone.

"Hmm... the appearance has changed, is this the design... all that effort to cover my face..."

Her long, dark purple hair, smooth and lustrous like silk, swayed gently in the gradually calming magical currents before falling softly against her shapely body.

She was tall, voluptuous, and curvaceous, wearing a purple bodysuit that even Rin couldn't help but blush at the sight of her. Except for the key part, which was leather, the rest of the bodysuit was made of semi-transparent silk gauze.

This outfit appears daring, yet it is completely revealing, making it difficult to evoke any sense of indecency or immorality.

On the contrary, to Rin, women dressed like this were like a beautiful flower blooming amidst battle and death, exuding pride and nobility, and inspiring a sense of beauty that was unattainable.

Her crimson eyes held an arrogant pride, yet within that pride lay ripples on the surface of water, like autumn stillness.

Just standing there quietly, her beautiful face, which exudes a cold and aloof aura, always reveals a queen-like noble temperament.

After looking around the room, the woman's gaze finally settled on Rin, and their eyes met.

Rin, being stared at by the other party, felt a strange sense of crisis. She felt that if she made any sudden movements, she would be pierced by the crimson demon spear in the other party's hand in the next second.

The aloof queen in deep purple scrutinized Rin with haughty and cold eyes for a moment, then spoke in a gentle tone that didn't quite match her icy appearance.

"I come from the Land of Shadows, and my name is Scáthach. May I call you Master?"

Rin was still in a daze, and she had no recollection of the name given by the beautiful woman who could only be described as purple.

Scáthach sighed softly at Rin's current state.

I have a feeling that this Master is a bit silly.

"However... with such a pretty face, it's surprisingly cute."

Rin frowned slightly at the curious gaze of her Servant, but still checked her stats first.
