Chapter 240 : In The Game Now 1

[Orion POV]

Just my luck. 

Madara was right after all. 

"Nothing goes as planned in this accursed world." 

Especially in fate. 

I lifted my arm, left hand to be more precise and saw a peculiar mark there. It is hard to understand as the mark is faded, not sharp but was clear that this was a command seal. 

This means the Grail is considering me as a part of its killing tournament. 

Now I also benefited from this as the presence of this mark reactivated the magical circuits in my hand. It's a blessing that the mark appears on my left hand where I can't do magic, healing it. 

Usually, masters get the seal on their dominant hand but I am Ambidextrous.

That wasn't the case earlier but after losing the ability to use magic from my left hand, I started to use the left hand more in things which doesn't require magic much, which is pretty much everything, so that my right hand can stay free to do magic all the time. 

This with the 7 years of training turned me into Ambidextrous. Though honestly, I have been doing things from my left hand more than I use magic from the right hand. Aka it was really a blessing. 

So I have to give credit where credit is due but what the hell. This cost me almost everything else. 

First I can't go back into my dimension, second I have to take part in this crazy war where almost everyone else is out for my blood and lastly, I don't even have a servant of my own right now. 

At least I need some time to find an artefact that can be used to summon a heroic spirit right? 

Sigh...

'There is no point wasting time here. I quickly need to summon a servant. There is no apparent way to just give up. At least I don't think there is. 

So it's important that I have a heroic spirit of my own. 

I can mostly fight alone, with my left hand restored. I am stronger than ever but having someone who I can trust to watch out my back would be nice. 

The problem is that I don't have any artefact ready on my that can bring any heroic spirit right now...

Before I looked for my options, I suddenly heard a voice. It was delivered by magic, it was clear. 

So, I didn't just ignore it like usual. 

...

"To all Masters participating in the Holy Grail War, I have an important announcement. Due to the heinous and unforgivable acts committed by the Servant known as Caster, and his Master, it has been decided that they must be eliminated immediately.

As a reward for those who achieve this, a command seal will be granted to the Master who successfully kills Caster and his master.

Additionally, the Church will provide its full support in assisting the elimination of this abominable pair."

...

The sound was of an old man. I am sure of that. 

Did something like this happen in the story? I can't remember. I can't remember to the point that even in my mind palace the memories are very wake. Damn, I should have really watched those anime with focus. 

But that is not a option now. 

It's kind of good for me though. The rest of the masters and servants will put all their concentration on Caster. I should have some time now to get myself a servant. 

As for the extra command seal, what will I do with it if I don't even have a servant to use it?

But the real question is where can I get an artefact from? 

?...

?...

Ah, no point thinking. Just do what everyone else does. Just Google It. 

If this place has that company that is.

After wasting 3 hours on the net, searching for any fact that I could use to summon a servant, I quickly turned into me searching for cute cat videos and quality anime which is nothing but a dream in HP world. 

I just gave up. Only after going on a shopping spree where I buy a few books, games, anime and manga. 

All these things are not available in the HP world. I just can't leave here without bringing them. Hell, I even bought the best TV and console just in case I couldn't get my hands on anything better back in 1994. 

But coming back to the topic. I really need to get myself a Servant. The question is how?

And that was when a bulb lit up inside my mind. 

'Of course, if I can't summon one then just steal one.' 

All I need to do is get my hands on an already existing heroic spirit and make a contract with him or her. That should most likely do it. 

By how much I remember from anime or have seen so far. Artoria is just too damn loyal to switch sides until I pull a gender-bend Makima on her, she ain't joining me. 

Well, I can always get rid of Emiya. When lacking a master maybe she will come. But that remains to be seen. 

Lancer is a complete simp, that ain't coming to my side any time soon. 

Caster is a no-go either. Just his presence will bring more trouble to me than he helps me. 

Gilgamesh...

Yeah as if.

The rider won't come. I know his kind of man. He only does what he likes. It's okay if this kind of trait is paired with a weak man or someone like Gilgamesh, a complete asshole who will do pretty much anything as long as he finds it fun or beneficial. 

But Iskandar is the most troublesome kind of man. A stubborn powerful man whose actions are more driven by instincts and feelings.

I remember he considered that boy Velvet his master for the time being. I highly doubt that he will switch sides. 

Ah... Maybe I was too hasty to kill Berserker. 

Sigh, anyway...

I need to get there first. Thinking not gonna provide me a servant.

Gotta act also.
