Summoning

Zhang Wei turned to the clock that hanged above the automatic door, '10 minutes left.'

He rushed to the closet opposite to his bed and took out the Chaldea staff uniform, it had the same design as the Master uniform, but it was much more 'bland.'

Zhang Wei was okay with it though; he didn't mind. He quite liked it.

According to his memory, the Summoning Room was located on the 13th floor, and the elevator was only a few seconds away from his room.

The 21-year-old staff quickly changed into his clothes as he prepared to leave, combing his hair down so that it wouldn't bring attention to himself.

'We exist to serve the Master and the Servants. Ironic.' Zhang Wei gave a wry smile.

As he walked past the automatic door, he realized just how quiet this area was.

The residential staff section, on the 2nd floor. The entire hallway was 'urban,' with white and blue.

Currently, there are about 19 staff members and over a hundred servants.

'Originally, we had close to 300 staff members, but due to a certain high ranking staff's 'explosive' betrayal, over 260 of Chaldea's staff was still alive.'

Zhang Wei shrugged, if he had remembered correctly, he only survived by pure luck since he overslept and just barely missed the explosives planted throughout the organization.

He pressed the down button, since he was near the top floor.

'If an invasion on Chaldea occurs, the staff suffers first.'

The staff could be replaced, but the Master(s) and the Servants couldn't. As a matter of fact, many of the Servants could replace the staff in their respective departments, for example, Nikola Tesla could replace the Engineering staff once he reads the notes left behind in the system.

On the food chain, the staff would be last with the sole exception being Leonardo da Vinci (though she's not a staff but a 'fraud' Servant) who took over the position of 'Head of Chaldea' after the previous one... passed away.

Chaldea's architecture is built 6000 meters above sea level with basement workshops in the snowy mountains of alpine tundra. The organization literally dug straight into the mountains down and as such, has around 20 floors.

'About three-quarters of the total floors have collapsed due to the explosion, luckily the important ones are left unharmed, and the Servants are quickly fixing them.'

The floor that the original body visited the most would have to be the recreational room on the 17th floor.

*Ding*

Zhang Wei walked in and pressed the 13th-floor button as he leaned on the wall and waited.

Usually, only the Master needed to be present during the summoning, but if they were to summon a Servant who was previously a ruler, then they are to kneel and make them feel welcomed.

It's the small stuff that makes an impression for these servants.

They're the ones who save humanity from extinction, kneeling and boosting their ego is only a small price to pay.

Chaldea is a laboratory-observatory with a single goal: "to preserve the reign of the Human Order, above all else."

To put it simply, Humanity will cease to exist by 2020, and the goal of Chaldea is to find out why and correct it.

According to his memories, the Master has already corrected a majority of humanity's 'extinction,' and has just recently passed the singularity known as Shinjuku.

'If that's the case, would that mean Gudao had cross-dressed already?'

The singularity Shinjuku was also where the main male protagonist crossdressed and had earned the internet's affection.

Even Zhang Wei wanted to see it in the flesh, but alas, what's done is done.

*Ding*

The elevator door opened, revealing the same old white/blue theme of Chaldea. This particular floor only had one room, a massive room around the size of a football field.

Chaldea has a LOT of space.

Too much space!

But considering there are some servants that are... well, huge, the utter size of this one room is quite understandable.

Zhang Wei walked to the entrance of the door and took a deep breath.

The reason why Chaldea could summon servants was because of a certain pseudo-servant and her weapon.

Mashu Kyrielight, a sweet girl who embodies the servant Galahad, and her weapon, or shield, which represents the concept of a "place where heroes assemble."

Meaning that through her shield, Chaldea could summon servants and because Chaldea has massive amounts of mana, the Master only exists to anchor the servants.

Zhang Wei took a step forward, the door opening itself as he came to face the backs of many staffs wearing the same uniform as he was.

In the front were four people: a young man with black hair and blue eyes, a girl with auburn hair, a girl with lilac hair, and a slightly curvy woman with dark brown hair.

The curvy woman would've been a figure he would appreciate from afar, if she wasn't actually a male!

Leonardo da Vinci, summoned in the form of Mona Lisa!

Though Zhang Wei had to admit, Leonardo has excellent taste in fashion, especially the dark blue stockings...

"Is everyone here?" da Vinci started counting before nodding her head towards the two Masters. "Let's begin."

Apparently, both Master Gudao and Master Gudako, twins, would be summoning today.

A servant is summoned from the Throne of Heroes by Chaldea offering them the decision to "watch humanity go extinct, or protect them instead."

It's an 'offer' that can't be denied, since most servants would want a second chance in life and if humanity ceases to exist, then they'll never even have the slightest of opportunities to get their wish granted.

A fancy summoning circle appeared on top of a black large cross-shaped shield situated in the middle of the large room; it started flashing as everyone started to cover their eyes.

As Zhang Wei's vision started to clear up, he looked at the two new figures standing on top of the shield.

The first servant summoned was about 175cm tall, with noticeably large 'assets,' her dark purple hair reached almost all the way to her feet, tied together at the end. She wore a latex body suit of sorts, with a piece of cloth with a heart-shaped insignia draped over her chest.

"Good day, dear Magus-chan. Servant, Saber... oh? What? I am not a Saber... my. Umm... I am Minamoto no Raikou. While I am currently much too flawed to act as a commander, I hope you will still treat me well."

The mature womanly voice made Zhang Wei want to cough out blood like a certain someone by the name of Muttsurini!

The other servant was noticeably smaller, standing at about 138cm. The servant was akin to that of a little girl, but taking a closer look, Zhang Wei immediately kowtowed before she even revealed her identity!

With light-purple twin tails that reached all the way to her thighs and dark purple eyes, the servant gave off an 'ojou-sama' feeling coupled with the loose imperial robes, she seemingly watched the staff from far above despite being shorter than everyone in the room.

"Our name is Wu Zetian. For someone to intend to employ us... it is so audacious that it becomes interesting instead, you know?"

'Shit! They summoned the Divine and Sacred Emperor!'
