After school hours ended.
The sky above Homurahara Academy that was originally orange suddenly turned blood red.
The students who were about to return home from school or club activities stopped moving and looked dazed.
Only people like Rin were the exception.
"Which pressure is this... Bounded Field?!"
In the second floor corridor, she narrowed her eyes and looked out the window warily.
Originally she wanted to gather with Sakura and Eiji. Then, they would be preparing for the Holy Grail War that would start later that night.
But before nightfall, she didn't expect that there would be enemies attacking early.
This was clearly a customer of the rules.
And the only enemy that might attack her at school was...
"Hahahaha!"
Suddenly, a familiar shrill laugh sounded behind her.
Rin turned around and saw Shinji standing at the end of the corridor.
It was really him.
"How is it, Rin? Are you feeling claustrophobic? This is Blood Fort Andromeda! In a few hours, everyone left in this school will melt into liquid mana for my Servant!"
Shinji said that while spreading his arms arrogantly.
Rin widened her eyes, "Matou! Have you gone mad?! Using ordinary people as sacrifices just because you can't fill your own Servant's mana... this is really a lowly act, even for your size!"
Shinji frowned.
He was being patronized again.
Still, was it just his feelings or did Rin know about the Book of False Attendants?
Regardless, he angrily said, "Call me whatever you like! But look at this, Rin. Behind me is the key to my victory!"
From behind Shinji's shadow, emerged a tall woman with long purple hair and tight black clothing. She held a chain with a sharp dagger at the end. A killing intent that would make ordinary people shudder emanated strongly from her.
"Rider-class servant... So that's your card, Matou?"
Rin instantly knew the identity of his servant.
Shinji was slightly surprised.
But like before, the anger and hatred he felt kept him from thinking clearly.
"Right! Rider, defeat her! But don't kill her, I want you to capture her for me and bring her to the Matou family, hehe...
Shinji smiled like a pervert.
As long as he managed to capture Rin, he would have fun with her in his house and make her arrogant face crumble in despair!
"As you command, Master." Rider with a cold and emotionless voice said.
Rin made a disgusted expression.
She also remembered the terrible things Shinji did to Sakura in the original work.
It was enough to make her stare at the boy with no less killing intent than Rider.
Shinji gasped and backed away slightly. Instantly, he felt humiliated because how could he be afraid of a girl like Rin!
At the same time, he became even more jealous of her power.
Damn, he would definitely make her beg in tears after Rider caught her.
Speaking of that woman with a very sexy figure, Shinji must also be lusting after her. But for now, he held back and thought of playing with Rin first.
*Swoosh!*
With lightning speed, Rider launched from the end of the corridor towards Rin.
Rin swiftly jumped back while reaching into her skirt pocket.
"You idiot! Vier Stil Erschieβung!"
She unhurriedly summoned her own Servant and used the Tohsaka family's jewel magic.
Instantly, several blue jewels were thrown out at high speed and exploded in front of Rider to hold her pace. Smoke billowed up, but Rider pierced the smoke easily without being hurt and swung her chain that whizzed through the air.
Rin clucked her tongue in her heart.
Rider's magic attack resistance was stronger than she thought.
But she did not panic and thought to lure Rider into an open area. So, she started running backwards.
With her current physical strength, her speed was no less than the girls at Umamusume— cough!
Rider didn't even think a master could run that fast.
She chased after her of course and blocked every attack she fired.
"Just keep running, Rin! There's nowhere to hide in this school. Soon, you'll be begging for mercy at my feet!"
Shinji shouted from a distance.
He was still confident of his victory in this fight.
Especially within the bounded field created by Medusa, Rin definitely could not summon her Servant to help her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be trying to escape like now.
Shinji laughed again, his evil laughter echoing in the second floor corridor.
On the other side.
Rin nimbly descended the stairs in an inhumane manner, she ran on the walls and jumped from one wall to another.
In fact, it was not just to lure Rider into the open area. She intended to search for the magic center that sustained the Bounded Field and save the students or other ordinary people before they turned into a pool of blood.
*Boom!*
Rider's chain whizzed through the air, shattering the concrete pillar right next to Rin's head. Stone chips scraped her cheek, but Rin did not flinch.
She slid across the slippery corridor floor while taking a defensive stance and muttering. "Anfang. Setzen..."
Several red-colored jewels formed a magic circle and created a barrier in front of her.
When the Rider came into contact with the barrier, it created an even bigger explosion than before.
However, Rider emerged from behind the dust with almost invisible movements. "Good reflexes for a human. But, how long can you dance between these chains?"
"Until I manage to send your useless Master to hell!"
Rin replied irritably.
Ishtar's voice rang in her head.
{Till when are you going to play around, girl? With my power, you can defeat that woman easily.}
Ah...
{What? Don't tell me you forgot?}
Ahem! Of course not, I just wanted to get a little exercise and test my family's magic on a Servant.
She was not kidding.
Immediately, she threw three purple jewels at once. The jewels did not explode when they hit the Rider, but instead formed a triangular pattern in the air.
"Strahlen!
Intense laser beams shot out from the gems, forcing Rider to somersault backwards through the air. At the same time, Rin took advantage of the opening to lunge forward and perform a mid-air kick.
Rider dodged too late and crossed her arms in front of her face.
*Bang!!*
Her figure was thrown like a cannonball and pierced through the wall.
She rolled around on the sports field with surprise on her face. Not only because of Rin's physical strength, but the kick was enough to bruise one of her hands.
Is that girl really human?
Why do I feel like I'm fighting a Servant of the Berserker class?
Shinji saw the scene of Rider rolling around on the sports field and shouted in annoyance, "What are you doing, Rider?! How could you possibly have so much trouble catching a master? You're useless!"
"....." Rider was still expressionless, but anyone would have been furious hearing what Shinji said.
If not for the temporary contract between them, she would have been reluctant to fight for a master like him.
But her true master sold her out so easily just for a little profit (a few hundred million yen from the Matou family).
She had no other choice but to submit to Shinji.
[Heh, Shinji is really a False Master in this Holy Grail War. With my ability (Rasiel), I know he borrowed a contract from a random Magus hired by the Matou family.]
[Rider... No, should I call her Medusa? She must have suffered from being used like a bought and sold object by her true master, and after Shinji got Rin the way he wanted her. He must also want to do perverted things to her because her figure is so sexy.]
[Medusa is pitiful, should I help her?]
Huh? Whose voice is that?
Medea was confused because she suddenly heard Eiji's inner voice inside her head.
But yes, she had no doubt that a boy like Shinji would do as he said. When he first saw her, she certainly noticed his lecherous gaze on her body.
If the owner of the voice she heard could help her out of this situation, she would be grateful to him.
[Yosh, let's do it!]
Was it just her or did that guy know what she was thinking?
Rin walked out of the hole in the wall and was about to continue beating up Rider. But Eiji's inner voice made her pause.
He wanted to help the woman in front of her?
Was it because she was so pretty and sexy?
Rin was suspicious.
{Kill that bitch, Rin! Kill her!}
Feeling jealous, Ishtar told her to kill Rider right away.
Rin was tempted to do so, but she shook her head.
No, she didn't want to make her onii-chan upset at her for that.
{Tsk!}
Ishtar was not satisfied.
Still, before Eiji came out of his and Sakura's hiding place.
"Tohsaka-san, are you alright!? Don't worry, we'll help you!"
A new party appeared.
This time it was the protagonist in the original work, Shirou Emiya appeared with his breath caught in his throat. In his hand, he held an iron pipe that had been reinforced with Reinforcement magic.
That was strange, where did he learn magic without having a stepfather like Kiritsugu?
And he was not alone, there was also a woman in elegant silver armor and a navy blue robe appearing in front of everyone. She was not carrying an ordinary sword, but rather a large war banner that emitted an aura of purity that suppressed the evil energy of the Bounded Field created by Rider.
[I don't regret holding back to find out everything. Unlike in the original work where the protagonist Shirou calls Artoria-chan of the Saber class, he now summoned the woman!? Gosh, I'm excited.]
Eiji ignored the flat gaze of Sakura who was standing beside him. By the way, the two of them were now watching from the roof of one of the school buildings.
He didn't rush into action and waited for the right moment to appear in front of everyone.
Isn't that what real protagonists usually do?
Many heroines already knew Eiji was a man who was very greedy for beauty.
They were only dissatisfied with one thing. What was the identity of Shirou's servant?
Eiji, you've got us curious!
What they didn't know, Shirou's servant in this life was...
"???" Jeanne d'Arc had several question marks above her head.
Just like Medusa, she was also confused when Eiji's inner voice sounded in her head.
She suspected that he evil energy had corrupted her mind, but she didn't feel anything wrong with her body.
The effects of the Bounded Field around them didn't even affect her, she was extremely invulnerable and had the highest defense among the Servants present.
After all, she was summoned as a Servant of the Ruler class.
The Holy Grail War this time was somehow distorted or broken, which was why the system added an eighth servant.
And it was her.
"I don't know who you are, but I can defeat her alone."
Rin pretended not to know who Shirou was even though she could guess who he was from Eiji's inner voice.
Shirou did not notice the displeasure on Rin's face, he smiled kindly and said, "It's natural that you don't know who I am. Compared to popular students like you, I'm just a student who doesn't stand out. My name is Shirou Emiya, a second-year student."
"Hmph! I don't care."
Rin folded her hands under her breasts and snorted, she was being cold to the protagonist.
Jeanne frowned, she was not happy with Rin's attitude. Her master was obviously a very kind and friendly boy for being willing to help her even though he was her enemy in the Holy Grail War.
But before she could say anything, Shinji shouted from the second floor window. "Look who's here! That loser Emiya is also a master and came to save the princess? Very good! Rider, kill him. I don't like seeing that hero face of his!"
In this life, Shinji seemed to still know Shirou and was hostile to him for some reason.
Eiji didn't care about the details and grinned in his heart.
Wordlessly, Rider shot off at a much higher speed than before and aimed for Shirou's neck.
But before she reached him, a golden light shot between them. A deafeningly loud metallic clanking sound filled the sports field.
Jeanne certainly did not remain silent.
She stood in front of her master and blocked Rider's attack with the war banner in her hand.
Her movement flicked out divine energy that dissipated even the evil energy of the surrounding Bounded Field.
Rider was thrown back and squinted behind her special eye patch, Breaker Gorgon.
"Evil that hurts innocent people will not be tolerated. Master, let me take care of this."
Jeanne looked at Rider with calm yet authoritative eyes.
If Gilles de Rais was here and was not killed by Eiji in the previous Holy Grail War, he would definitely be very excited when he saw her.
After all, it was his Jeanne!
The Maid of Orléans.
The heroine of France in the 15th century.
On the other side, Medusa is the youngest of the three Gorgon sisters in Greek mythology. Unlike her older siblings (Stheno and Euryale) who were immortal and remained small, Medusa grew into a beautiful mature woman but was eventually cursed into a monster by the hatred of humans and the gods.
Her fate was no less sad than Jeanne's during her lifetime who died by being burned alive by the people she had protected.
In the original work, Eiji also remembers Medusa tending to be quiet, wary, and very protective of Sakura.
He said everything he thought about the two women in his heart. The heroines including Rin suddenly felt sorry for them.
[Medusa and Jeanne are pitiful women. I want to give them a warm place to live like my home!]
But the last part Eiji said made everyone who heard his inner voice fall silent.
Jeanne and Medusa didn't even know what to say about that man.
Actually, where was he?
They couldn't find where he was hiding and watching.
Of course, that was natural. Eiji was hiding his and Sakura's presence using Dion's ability.
"Who is that woman?! Rider, don't stay still! Attack again!" Shinji shouted hysterically.
Rider tried to attack at her highest speed, swinging her chains from various angles. However, Jeanne only drove her bamboo pole into the ground.
"Luminosité Eternelle!"
The banner fluttered, creating a shield of holy light that reflected all of Rider's attacks without a gap. The holy vibrations made the blood barrier isolating the school begin to crack and shatter around them.
The move saved all the ordinary people at the same time.
Rin was amazed by her power.
'What the hell is this?! That's not just defense magic. That's holy authority! I've never seen a Servant with such a pure aura. Even Artoria... no, she's just a perverted woman. How could I possibly compare the two of them?'
'Is this the protagonist's servant? What kind of luck do you have to be able to summon a 'servant' like her?!'
Artoria would definitely take offense if she heard what Rin was thinking.
How exactly was she called a pervert?
Was it because she had seen her do those things with Eiji? She did that out of duty as his servant and woman.
And I'm sure sooner or later, Jeanne will also fall into Eiji's hands.
Jeanne glanced at Shinji in the distance with a sharp gaze, "This war is supposed to be a fair competition, not a massacre of civilians. Matou Shinji, your evil ends here."
"Hiiik!" Shinji squealed like a pig, his true nature as a loser revealed and he stepped back until his body was pressed against the wall. "W-wait! Don't! I'm giving up! Rider, protect me!"
Rider felt helpless, the mana inside her body was depleting and since Shinji didn't have a magical circuit, he couldn't recharge her mana.
Replenishing mana from turning ordinary people into liquid mana was also impossible because the Bounded Field she created had been destroyed.
During the fight, she also couldn't exert her full power because her master was too weak.
Otherwise, she was sure she wouldn't have been cornered like now.
'In the worst case, I'll just die. As for winning the holy grail? From the start, I don't care.'
Medea was ready to die, especially when she saw Jeanne hoist her banner with one powerful jerk.
A wave of divine energy flew towards her.
Medea closed her eyes behind her blindfold but she suddenly did not feel the ground beneath her feet.
There was also a feeling of security and warmth that she felt from the pair of arms hugging her body that was taller than the average woman.
"Huh?" Medea opened her eyes and was astonished to see the face of a silver-haired man with very handsome red eyes on his face.
Right now, she seemed to be being carried in a princess-style sling!
Jeanne, Shirou and Shinji were dumbfounded.
As for Rin and Sakura? They only sighed.
Before the holy energy wave Jeanne threw hit its target, Eiji used the power of Boboiboy Thunderstorms. His figure turned into dark red lightning quickly appearing behind Medusa.
The woman was as tall as him, but he had no trouble picking her up and carrying her to the other side of the field.
"Yare-yare." Eiji couldn't help saying, "That was close. I can't stay silent when I see a beautiful woman killed before my eyes."
"....." Medusa was stunned, but if you looked closely, there was a slight blush on her cheeks.
Yare-yare! My charm—
[Host.]
Ehem, I mean I don't know why her face is red.
Was she hurt from the previous attack?
Eiji pretended to be a normal protagonist who wasn't narcissistic in this situation so that Miss System wouldn't nag him.
In fact, without that, he's a serious person and doesn't like to joke around.
I'm sure many people agree.
Misa System rolled her eyes.
"You... Why are you here and able to do that?! I won't thank you for saving my servant. Get your hands off her!"
Shinji felt green, his jealousy overpowering his fear.
He already thought of Rider as his own and he had never even touched her.
But another man suddenly appeared and dared to feel her sexy body.
He even recognized him, wasn't that the new teacher at his school?
He thought he was just an ordinary person, but he didn't seem to be that simple.
That made him even more upset.
Eiji ignored Shinji and hugged Medusa tighter. Surprisingly, Medusa remained silent and did not resist.
She continued to stare at his face from behind her blindfold.
What's wrong? Fall in love with me?
[Host.]
"....." On the surface, Eiji smiled casually at the protagonist and the others before simply glancing at one of them and saying, "Hey Rin, are you alright? Sorry, I'm a bit late to help you."
"As you can see, I'm fine." Rin refrained from complaining as she knew he had been watching for a long time.
Shirou also recognized Eiji, he had caught up in his class during the third period of his class.
"You are Eiji-sensei! Sensei, are you also a Magus and Master in the Holy Grail War?!"
"But... why are you helping Shinji?!"
[Protagonist, I know is a very naive boy, but I didn't expect you to be deaf as well.]
Pfft!
Rin stifled a laugh.
"Emiya-kun, stop raising your voice at your teacher. And didn't you hear what I said earlier? I saved this woman just because she was pretty. I'm not helping Shinji-kun at all."
Rather than helping him, I'd rather see him suffer like an NTR victim now.
"S-Sorry, I thought you were just joking earlier." Shirou scratched the back of his head.
He didn't expect his new teacher to be that kind of guy.
But in his opinion, he was very good for saving Medusa's life.
Eiji blinked his eyes, he suddenly had an idea to utilize the protagonist's personality.
[You are the real villain here.]
Ignore what Miss System says.
"Hey, don't ignore me!" Shinji felt humiliated at being ignored.
Unfortunately, everyone's attention right now was even only on Eiji.
Eiji still ignored him and said, "It's okay Emiya-kun, I didn't expect you to be a master like Rin. And no, I'm not a participant in the Holy Grail War this time."
He did not answer clearly about his true identity and showed a mysterious demeanor.
Shirou and even Jeanne were curious about him.
However, the latter still had not kept her banner. She suspiciously asked, "So, what do you want to do next?"
"Just call me Eiji, Ruler."
"How did you—"
[Come on, the Jeanne I know isn't this cold. Isn't she a very friendly and approachable woman?]
Jeanne was about to ask how Eiji knew her class.
But his inner voice made her realize something.
It was his voice!
"I know you're curious how I know your class. I also know who you and Rider are."
"But put that aside. For now, how about you all stop fighting? The Holy Grail War hasn't officially started yet and the sun hasn't set yet."
"There are also civilians who might witness the fight if you want to continue."
Jeanne wanted to refuse, she had a reason to kill Medea.
It was because her true master had cheated by lending her to Shinji.
The reason the Holy Grail System's defense mechanism was triggered was probably due to the existence of the False Master.
As the Ruler, she had the obligation to eliminate Shinji by killing his Servant.
However, how could Eiji let his future wife be killed?
Fortunately Shirou's protagonist was very kind. "I agree with Eiji-sensei, Ruler. Let's stop here."
"Very well, master."
Jeanne reluctantly put her weapon back away.
She could not go against her master's orders at this level.
"Next..." Eiji glanced at the beautiful woman in his arms with a gentle gaze, "Rider, will you become my servant? You only need to say yes or no. Trust me, I can do it and will treat you well."
What he said shocked everyone especially Shinji.
His servant would be stolen!
"Don't listen to him, Rider! You can't betray me!"
"I am your master!"
Shinji was panicked and desperate. He wanted to use a Command Spell to force Rider back to his side, but he remembered he was a False Master.
False Masters like him did not have Command Spells.
He could only hope that Rider was loyal to him and would refuse. But he did not expect her to unhesitatingly reply, "Yes."
"Rider, you, you... Pufft!"
Shinji vomited blood, not because of a mental attack, but Eiji immediately plunged the Ruler Breaker into Rider's chest after hearing her answer.
Just like what happened to Medea, he transferred Medusa's possession into his hands with ease.
Shinji and Rider's true masters received enough backlash that they fainted.
"....." Shinji was lying on the floor.
In his dream, he saw something that made his expression frightened and his face turn pale.
Eiji used his dream manipulation ability, he made the boy chased by Mil-tan from Highschool DxD and made him feel what Sakura felt in his hands.
In other words, man vs man.
I don't want to write the details because it's disgusting.
