First Day 2

A smirk spread across your face, "Yeah, she wishes she had your natural charm that would age like fine wine right?" you spoke up. Edelfelt was a fine piece of ass herself, voluptuous as all hell just like Sakura Matou, but you didn't mind playing both sides.

"Damn straight! I've got a perfect bu-" she agreed with you, smashing another kick into the railing hard, and pulling back, only to pause a second later on her next kick, her head slowly turning to look up at you, pretty aquamarine eyes going wide.

"Hello Tohsaka-san," you raised your hand and gave her a casual wave, your smirk growing, "How's things?"

She stared at you for a moment, before her shoulders slumped a bit and she sighed, "Hello Sota," Rin greeted you back, "What are you even doing up there?"

"Don't you know?" you sat up, leaning forward and resting your chin on one of your hands, "The cool delinquent guy always goes to the roof at lunch to brood and angst about how hard it is being so cool and strong and good looking."

She blinked slowly, confused, "What the heck are you talking about?" she looked at you like you were stupid.

You snorted, pushing yourself off of the small buildings room and dropping a few metres to land on your feet easily, "Never seen an anime huh, Tohsaka-san?" you shook your head. What a typical thing for a magus to do, they really were no fun, "I was just wanting some peace and quiet to laze about and catch up on some extra sleep, then you out here just as I was about to." you answered truthfully, walking over to her.

"Oh," Rin blinked again before grimacing, "Sorry for disturbing you then." she apologised.

"It's fine," you shrugged, stopping in front of her, "So, was that Edelfelt you were shouting about?"

Her face flushed at you bringing it up again, but she gave a terse nod, "...Yeah, that fat chested bitch really pissed me off." she ground out.

Someone has chest envy, you resisted the urge to laugh.

"She thinks she's so great because she's got more money than me," her hands curled into fists and you let your eyes stray down to them. She was wearing gloves, odd, and suspicious timing, "That's all she's got though! I'm more skilled and smarter than that bitch!"

Now that she mentioned it. She was the last Tohsaka now wasn't she? And you'd heard through the grapevine that the Tohsaka family had lost most of their fortune after the 4th Holy Grail War.

Rumour had it, that both her parents got murdered in the Grail War.

That was why you were sure, that she had Command Seals under one of those gloves. The three Great Families, Einzbern, Matou and Tohsaka were given priority over everyone else when it came to getting Command Seals for the war.

"Well going by what I've seen so far, I'd have to agree with you." You nodded. You didn't exactly have a lot on either of them, but Luvia Edelfelt drew a lot of attention to herself both with the way she dressed and the way acted. Most people thought her just eccentric, but even if you hadn't heard of her family name, you'd definitely have been suspicious of anyone acting like that. It was just...too out of touch with modern common sense.

Rin puffed her chest out slightly in pride, "Looks like despite all the rumours floating around about, you actually have some good sense Sota."

You debated with yourself for a moment. It would be a waste to have to kill a girl like this, with an ass that amazing. And an even bigger waste considering her talent and potential. There wasn't much on the Tohsaka heiress, any rumours about her came from before the 4th Grail War for the most part, but the last head of the Tohsaka family, her father had openly bragged about her genius talent as a magus and the sheer number and purity of her Magic Circuits. You wondered, how did her magic circuits stack up to your own? The old pervert had been in open awe of the amount you had and their sheer purity. He'd told you he'd never even heard of someone with such pure quality of Magic Circuits.

Circling around an alliance might be the best option in the long run.

"And I guess being the last of a Magus family with your coffers nearing on empty, yet succeeding is good proof of your competence as well." you mused out loud thoughtfully. You'd decided on confronting the old fossil Zouken Matou, there was no reason to pussyfoot around Rin Tohsaka no matter the bragged about genius she had.

Her eyes flew wide and a split moment later she launched herself backwards a good five feet away in a semi-crouch one hand circling down in front of her, while the other raised up over her head.

"Good reaction time," you chuckled clapping your hands and admired her stance, "Hmm...Bajiquan is it?" quite the martial art for a girl her age to have picked up and so easily fall into a stance for in an instant after retreating.

"..Sota, you were a magus all along?" Rin narrowed her eyes at you.

"More of a Spellcaster actually," you replied casually, un-threatened. No matter how good she is, the gap between your physical abilities are just that great, that physically, she was no match for you, "I'm not into all that Magus stuff to be honest, I left it behind when I ditched my old pervert of a master." ditched his body in a shallow grave that you then pissed in, but semantics, right?

"..And you've been in my territory for years without letting me know?" she demanded and you watched as veins of light spread across her body. She was Reinforcing her body, not bad. Not many had the skill, or the strength of body to manage that, "That's illegal."

"Would be I agree, if I was from outside this territory," you countered easily, "But I'm from Fuyuki actually. Born and bred. The illegal trespasser was my old master, but he's long gone by this point."

She grit her teeth, but nodded, yet, didn't relax her stance at all. Smart of her, "Sound logic and true," the twin tailed magi heiress agreed, "And the rumours about you being some yakuza head makes a lot more sense now. But that begs the question.."

"And what question is that?" you raised an eyebrow at her.

"Why come out and reveal yourself to me here and now?" she demanded to know.

"Yes I wonder why I'd come out with it at this specific point in time?" you hummed, giving a pointed look at her gloved hands, "It's almost as if I have some reason to bring it up with you, like a certain tournament style event that usually ends with lots of people dying taking place soon."

Her eyes widened a bit, "The Grail War," she realised before her gaze tightened once again, "You want to make an alliance?"

"Something like that," you agreed vaguely with a nod, "There's rumours here and there of your talent as a magus in the grapevine, and making an alliance in advance isn't a bad idea with someone as valuable as you."
