A chance

(Author's Note: Give me Powerstones, also did you guys have seen that amv of Counting Stars song? It's seriously good, also did you watch 'Ritsuka Fujimaru doesn't get it?', If yes, then tell me what was the funniest scene for you, for me, it was,' Does that mean Geronimo is a Magic girl?!! ', it got me wheezing for a bit, especially coupled with Fou's cute reaction)

Poseidon Pov

I decided to watch the confrontation between Ritsuka and Jalter, having nothing better to do than eat and sleep, I followed after her and saw the difference between what was supposed to happen if I wasn't here and with me here at the very beginning, Jalter didn't wait for much time before burning down the entire town, though she ordered a 7th Tier Angel to take her mother to Castle.

Her mother kept screaming Janet as she watched her supposedly daughter burn down the entire town before fainting in shock, after she left at a safe distance she slaughtered everyone with a few Dragon breaths of Fanfir, not long after Ritsuka, Mash and Jeanne D'Arc of this timeline arrived, after that a followed chat with Jalter basically insulting Jeanne at every opportunity she can get.

Maybe she desires to prove herself to be better than the original Jeanne or something like that or it's simply how she is that is the reason behind her making such sarcastic remarks about Jeanne. Jalter then ordered her servants to surround them before my eyes, and just as they were feeling helpless other servants summoned in this Singularity by Holy Grail to oppose Jalter arrived at their rescue.

Unfortunately for them unlike the original, with me here, the situation of Jalter had changed greatly, and coupled with the summons I gave her it didn't take even a bit of time for them to be trapped and then beaten up by a single blast of Holy Smite from one of the three Seventh Tier Angels, it was a causal attack from it but proved enough to take two servants down.

Looks of dismay appeared on the faces of the rest who survived being defeated as Jalter slowly approached to finish them off, due to such turns of events Dr. Romani decided to use Rayshift to call Mash and Ritsuka back, I clicked my tongue seeing this after all if he leaves then who would provide a boost to my Merit? Even if he is a useless Master as a Protagonist just his presence boosts the amount of merit I get by a large Margin.

I decided to try a spell that is supposed to stop the target from teleporting, "Maximised Lesser Dimensional Lock", I chanted with a low voice, the spell I used is a sixth-tier spell and a weaker counterpart to its fully powered 8th Tier version, with Maximised Enhancement that supposedly drains a lot of mana to bring any spell to its extreme limit, I expected it to work and I wasn't disappointed it was enough for to cancel the Rayshift.

"Now that was rude", I said dispelling all the Magics I had cast on myself earlier to make my presence low, just as I appeared Jalter quickly knelt respectfully before me and said," My Lord!", I just gave her a small nod after which she kept her head down, still fearful of me huh? Well, it is to be expected after all I did give her quite a beating.

"Why don't you show yourself, their leader?", I demanded wanting to see the face of the legendary Grand Caster for real, and a holographic projection appeared from the Ritsuka's watch in the air in front of me, in the projection the face of Romani Archman was visible who had a look of helpless, he cautiously glanced at me, I said," You might have sent them into this era out of your obligation, but you can't leave without my permission".

"Can we talk about this?", he asked me, I decided to shift my focus for a bit, after all, he can wait, and thus looking at the Jeanne of this world, I commented with amusement in my voice," You suddenly are almost the same as her, I would think the only difference would be that she learns things a tad faster and is a bit less dumb".

"Who are yo-", before she could speak any further I chanted," Silence", a Fifth Tier Spell, and silenced her, she isn't the Jeanne who fell in love with me and the one I personally like, thus there was no need for me to polite to this dumbo, I continued," Now all of you are here to oppose my servant, and when you found the situation to be unfavorable for yourselves, you tried to run away huh?", I said glancing at Ritsuka who was supported by Mash.

Their faces became tensed as I gazed upon them, Romani said with a nervous voice," I am sorry but they had no intention to oppose you nor your servant, they are sent there only to fix the singularity and nothing more", I moved a bit and ruffled the hair of Jalter, she bit her lips feeling the touch of my hand on her head, a tint of blush appeared on her face.

" If they want to fix this singularity then it means that they have to eliminate who is the root cause for this, who is none other than my servant which means she is your enemy right?", I said with a mocking smile, he gulped his saliva in nervousness and clenched his fists," C- Can you leave them? I promise that we won't send them or anyone their again", he said.

The smile on my face disappeared, I replied," What a pathetic lie, you need to correct the Human Order right? For that, all the singularities are needed to be fixed which means in the future they or someone else will be sent definitely", his face twisted hearing that as I caught his lie.

Jeanne, Wolfgang, and Marie meanwhile remained silent, assessing me carefully for any opening or chance to escape, I glanced at the three, Jeanne from whom my spell's effect has worn off looked at me with a cautious look, she said," Ritsuka, Mash and you all escape from here I will keep them busy!".

The two lover duo nodded while Ritsuka hesitated and said," B-But!", Jeanne bit her lips and said," There are n-no other choices! I- I will give you all enough time to ru-", I teleported and grabbed her by the neck, she gripped my hands trying her best to free, others looked at this stupefied, I said with anger apparent in my voice," You all sure have guts to talk in front of me like that, do I look some Joke to you that will let you escape despite such a big apparent advantage?".

I tightened my grip around her neck causing her face to morph into one of pain," Miss Jeanne!", shouted Mash and Ritsuka simultaneously with worry visible in their eyes, I threw her away as she crashed tens of meters away on the ground with such a huge force causing the ground below her to crack, her voice quivered as she looked at me helpless," R-Run aw-ay", she muttered.

I looked at the Holographic projection and said with a smile," You want me to let them go? Fine I shall allow these two, no- all of you to go", he looked at me with shock, others had the same faces, Jeanne meanwhile tried to stand up and coughed saliva violently, I ignored her pain and continued looking at them.

"Yo-You would let us leave?", asked Ritsuka with a look of disbelief and suspicion, I nodded and said," I have decided to not participate in Jalter's revenge and thus I can let you all go away, and it will be a pity to see you die this pathetically at least given some time you would be able to group and show me with amusing fights before your end".

He clenched his fist hearing me, gritting his teeth he looked with shame," Senpai", Mash said looking at him worried, he glanced at her and nodded, then looking at me in the eye he said," You want us to entertain you? Fine, we will give you the best fight we can and we won't just give our best but will win it!". Marie froze in fear and muttered," B-Boy that's not how you talk in front of a person who can kill you".

I rolled my eyes looking at his cliche words, I asked," Jalter, you are fine with this?", she replied," I do not have any problem if that's what you desire Lord", I snapped my fingers as the formation of the Angels around us broke and they made the distance from us, I grinned and said," Then show me, that all of you are worthy of being left alive".

I turned back towards Jalter, moving towards her I stopped beside her, and with my fingers, I played with her hair, a tint of a blush crept upon her cheeks as well as the tips of her ears, satisfied enough with her reaction, I said," Come back quickly, we will be having a feast", she replied in affirmation," Yes". Then I teleported away.

...

3rd Pov

As Poseidon teleported away, Jalter breathed in relief, then standing up she grinned at Jeanne and said," As much as I want to rip you apart, my Lord had prevented me to do so for now, I shall honor his will and let you and that pathetic man with the group of those 3rd Rate servants alive for now", Jeanne didn't reply despite her taunts, Jalter clicked her tongue seeing this and said," Anyway, we shall depart my servants!".

The servants still kneeling stood up and nodded, she whistled as the Fanfir who was a bit far away flew to her and landed before her, she made her head down for Jeanne to get on her who got on top of her, she looked at them for a final time before flying away, the undead, the Angels and her servants followed after her, after a few minutes when everyone finally left the place the remaining servants breathed in relief.

"That was intense", said Marie, Wolfgang nodded, then they turned at Jeanne with doubts but remembering their comrades their faces become worried, they quickly looked behind to see both of them half-dead," Kiyohime, Elizabeth!", they shouted as they quickly moved and checked them, finding them still breathing made them a bit of relieved but they knew they were still in danger.

"Y-You f*ckers forgot abou-about us right?", said Kiyohime who opened her eyes creepily glancing at them, they felt chills seeing her face but shook their head," Don't talk! You are very badly injured", Marie said, Kiyohime replied," Hmph!", Mash and Ritsuka looked at their saviors worried as well, Ritsuka approached and looked at the bodies of the two, their skin was completely scorched and even some of their muscles were melted showing a horrific sight.

"Ma-Marie", muttered Elizabeth," Yes! I am here Eliz", replied Marie as she gently held her hand," They are in a critical situation is there any way to save them?!", asked Ritsuka both of them, they looked at him and then at each other, nodding they replied," We can heal them but it won't be enough, they will need Mana to survive otherwis-", said Wolfgang stopping at the end as he looked helpless.

Ritsuka hearing that made a decision and said," Th-Then make a contract with me!", they looked at him surprised and Wolfgang said," Are you sure? I don't think having three contracts at a time is a good idea", Romani shouted," Ritsuka?! What are you trying to do? Three contracts at once will be fatal! You won't be able to handle it!".

" As Romani said Ritsuka your body won't be able to keep up with the man transfer", said Leonardo," Leonardo!", said Ritsuka surprised, she replied," Yes, everyone's lovely Da-Vinci Chan is back after the break! Also, I leave for one hour to take a bath and fresh myself while everything goes to sh*t", Ritsuka said," There is no time for it! We need to save them!".

Jeanne came near the Kiyohime and Elizabeth's bodies, her face turned sour seeing a Holy aura penetrating their bodies,' Just how?', she thought still now understanding how they are able to control those Angel like beings," You want to do this Fujimaru? For serious", she asked him, he nodded with determined look.

She sighed and said," Fine, then go ahead and make a contract otherwise they will vanish apparently in one minute 30 seconds", her words stunned Romani who said," But!", she stopped him from speaking any further by putting her finger on the lips, she said with a smile," He has made a decision and we have to respect it, also I want to see how his body will react after making two new contracts".

Romani's eyebrows twitched while Ritsuka replied in the comms," I have finished the contract", he said surprised," That was fast!!", he then grabbed his head and muttered," I am not fit for this job*Sigh*", Leonardo chuckled and asked," So how you are feeling?", Ritsuka replied," I feel strained and a bit drowsy".

"Senpai! Senpai!", Mash shouted as Ritsuka became unconscious, on the other hand, Kiyohime and Elizabeth's vital signs stabilised.
