2 Chapter 1
"Hello Akeno-chan, do you live at the Shrine?"
"Yes," she says extremely nervous, he seeing this goes to try and calm her down it would be strange if someone caught a grown man talking to a very nervous young girl. He then realized as he grabs her hand it's only a little smaller than his own, his eye widened as he looks down, he is simply wearing black attire. Strange thing is, it's the same one he wore as a child. He finally realizes it, his hair was a bit longer and his arms and legs were a bit short but he got it.
Glancing at the lake beside me, he took look at his face, and was partly surprised.
His right eye is a crimson red, and his left a sky blue, with pure snow white bangs hanging over, the same white color as the rest of his hair.
Besides the roots which were a dark brown, it was all snow white. It was styled like his hair previously, shaggy and long, past his ears and the nape of his neck, but also relatively spiky.
He was relatively skinny, though he couldn't tell exactly by how much.
He guess he looked like the Spirit of his Class Card a bit, Karna.
Flashback
"Now pick, and chose your power, boy." Zelretch gave me a smirk, as I blinked and closed my eyes.
I need to really think about this…
Usually I would say Saber immediately, as it's a sure-way to have a strong Heroic Spirit. But they're always in front, closeup and personal. I would prefer to pick my target and chose when to attack, not have them face up and have to deal with them immediately.
In that case, Archer or Caster would be ideal. But with an Archer, there's no guarantee of what they're abilities entall. It would be a firearm using Archer, or a bow one.
And then Casters...while ideal for support and range, they're not as good in melee.
Close-up but fast, able to pick a target and keep them at range while attacking…
"...I'll pick Lancer." I said, opening my eyes.
Once I said that, Zelretch picked up one of the laid out cards. Muttering a few words under his breath, he threw the card towards my chest, where it started fading into me.
During that, I couldn't move my body.
"While the Card does it's 'fusing with' you thing, the process leaves your body unable to move." The Marshall chose to inform me, "And it allows me to explain a few more things without your whining."
...I don't like where this is going.
"While it is me dumping you in a new world, you'll be under the World's authority while you're there. Think of it as being a glorified Counter-Guardian." He said.
...Yep, definitely don't like it.
"Oh, don't give me that look." The Old Apostle...pouted...tha-that's just wrong.
SO many levels of wrong!
"It won't be like an actual contract, you'll just at times have some duties to fulfil. For your benefit, of course. I mean, how else are you gonna unlock the restraints on that Card?" Zelretch said casually, shrugging as if it wasn't a big deal.
Restraints? The hell did that mean?
"Oh right, that's the other thing, the restraints. Even if that Card makes you a Demi-Servant, you won't get the Spirit's full skills and Phantasms at first. It wouldn't be entertaining if you got a EX or Anti-Country Noble Phantasm at the beginning."
...what Spirit did I get?
"Well, that's all I needed to say. Oh wait one more, don't think the world you end up in is the exact same as you think!" He said as my vision began to blur.
Wait, the hell do you mean!?
"Have fun, boy!"
And he was gone.
So to sum things up, his Class was Lancer, and the Spirit was Karna.
The Hero of Charity, Son of The Sun God Surya, Red Lancer of The Great Holy Grail War, and Launcher of The Moon Cell Grail War.
...so yeah, he don't have much worries right now.
Well, okay, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Karna was a beast of a Heroic Spirit and was said to be on par with Gilgamesh, if his countless readings on him before this were true.
But with the restraints, he was limited. He was able to figure out what he had in terms of Karna's skills and Noble Phantasms.
For his skills, he currently had Magic Resistance, Divinity, and Discernment of the Poor.
And the Noble Phantasm he had is Brahmastra, the laser beam-like attack that is shot from Karna's, or his, right red eye. The other Noble Phantasms were locked due to the restraints placed on him.
There is a catch to it, though. It can only be used on those with lower ability than himself. Even then, as a Demi-Servant, he could probably outmatch most threats as of now.
As normal Servants go, even ones with D parameters greatly outmatch humans.
And in that sense, ones with higher parameters like Karna, A's and B's, could possibly outmatch Devils and other supernatural creatures at this point,but not all of them.....but the problem right now.
'I'm a child!?' he thought shocked, just a few moments ago he was a man who had just died and then reincarnated by a dead apostle who was to bored for his own good and now this. He was trying to calm himself down failed to notice the blushing Akeno who is still having her hand held.
"G-gomen... I am ....Karan ....Karan Lancer" Karan says it wasn't really polite to just grab a girl's hand, especially one you've never met before. Since he and the class card were one he thought it was only appropriate for him to have the the name of the essence of the heroic spirit that resides within it, so he named himself according to the spirit and it's class.
"It's ok…" she says causing him to raise an eyebrow.
"Akeno," Karan says suddenly causing her to flinch
"Y-yes?" she asks still covering her face with the sleeve.
"Where are we?" he says seriously.
"Shinto Shrine," she says as if it was obvious to Karan who didn't know what she was talking about. Karan had a blank expression showing Akeno he didn't know what she was talking about.
"Show me?" he asks smiling, she blushes and nods. Karan holds out his hand just to see if she wanted to hold it, which she did. The two began walking towards the Shrine both unaware of the angry Baraqiel hovering and narrowing his eyes at Karan. He could feel power coming from him but then again, he was a child so what could he really do.
