Caster

In the living room, where all the interiors have been put aside, and above the laminate flooring, Tamazuki began his preparation of the summoning ritual after he had finished his analysis of the note he had taken from Ryuunosuke.

Even though he had read the stories and watched the anime, it didn't mean that he knew everything, as the details weren't told.

While he was unfamiliar, it didn't mean the others were unfamiliar, so he borrowed the note from Ryuunosuke and analyzed it, so his summoning ritual could succeed.

Frankly, it might be easier to go to the house of the Three Founding Houses or Mage's Association, the international, self-preservative and self-defense organization formed by practitioners of Magecraft as they had more detailed information about Holy Grail, but he had been only in this world for a day.

Moreover, the Holy Grail War would only take less than two weeks, so his time was limited.

Lastly, he was an alien in this world, and he wanted to make his life easier instead of going to make trouble everywhere.

After all, in this world, the existence of God, like in the previous world, might exist.

If he was targeted once again, it would be so troublesome.

Though, even if he was targeted, he didn't fear since he could run away once, so the next one, he should be able to devour it.

Including the "God" in this world.

Though, he wasn't sure whether "God" existed in this world.

"If I am not wrong, the ones that control this world should be called "Alaya" and "Gaia."

However, it didn't matter since his focus should be on the ritual summoning.

He drew a magic circle on the laminate flooring with four encircling patterns of departure within erasure inside the summoning circle.

Usually, there was a catalyst put in the center of the magic circle to summon a Servant.

The catalyst could be anything that could be part of the Servants during their lives. It could be anything from a sword, armor, a talisman, or even their bones.

However, he didn't have one, and he also didn't prepare for it, but it didn't matter as he had [Jupiter], so his luck was greatly enhanced.

Jokes aside, even if the catalyst wasn't added to the summoning ritual, a Master could summon a Servant.

However, unlike those Masters that prepared their catalyst, so they could expect what kind of Servant would serve them during the Holy Grail War, those who didn't prepare a catalyst would have a random Servant.

Whether this Servant was weak or not, no one knew since the result could be seen when the summoning ritual succeeded.

Nevertheless, even if he didn't have a catalyst, it was okay since a catalyst wasn't necessary.

According to Ava's analysis, without a specific artifact, the Holy Grail will choose a Servant based upon similarities to the summoner's nature.

"I wonder what kind of Servant that I will summon."

Frankly, he didn't care whether his Servant was weak or strong. Even if his Servant was weak, he was okay with it since he didn't expect them to fight.

Why?

Because he sought to devour the other Servants.

He had made a plan in his head, and he didn't want a strange Servant that would interrupt his plan.

Still, as he had said before, among the seven classes of Servant, six classes had been summoned, leaving him with only the Caster Class of Servant.

So, without a catalyst, he sought after a Servant that suited his nature.

Frankly, when choosing based on power with a Catalyst, bad compatibility may make forming a bond impossible, bringing about hardships without being able to have faith in each other. When allowing for a good affinity, it may bring forth a weaker Servant, and it is possible that a single mistake could rouse bad feelings between them due to the resemblance in their personalities being so close.

However, this was normal since when there was an advantage, there was a disadvantage.

Unless that person was a romance harem protagonist, a happy and easy journey was impossible.

Nevertheless, even if it wasn't necessary to use an artifact, it was still necessary for him to chant the spell.

Frankly, Ryuunosuke's note was thin, and whether the chant was correct or not was still questionable.

Moreover, a wrong chant creates aberrations like Gilles de Rais, which was the original Caster in Fate/Zero.

Originally, Gilles de Rais was more suitable as a Saber, but because Ryuunosuke was an amateur and didn't know anything, it led to the situation where Gilles became a Caster, a Class that wasn't suitable for him.

In his case, even if there was only a Caster class that hadn't been summoned, it was the same.

Maybe he got a Servant who was suitable for the Assassin Class or even Archer Class, but because of the wrong chant, they became a Caster Class, which made them even weaker than they originally were.

In other cases, a Servant might have a bad connection with him, so they were unable to receive Magical Energy through normal methods.

Even worse, the Grail had been corrupted by Angra Maiyu, the previous Servant during the Third Holy Grail.

However, even with all of that, it didn't matter.

As he had said before, he had decided to fight this battle by himself, and this Servant was nothing but just a qualification so he could enter this war legally and was counted as a part of a participant.

Then, without hesitation...

"Fill, fill, filling, fill.

"Fill, fill, filling, filling, fill."

Frankly, he was speechless by the chant, but a strange session surrounded his body, and a lot of his energy was pulled and absorbed into the magic circle.

Even if he knew nothing, he knew the amount of energy taken from his body was abnormal.

'Fortunately, fortunately.'

It was fortunate that he didn't lack energy, and he knew because of his sloppy chant, the energy which was usually supplied by the Holy Grail to summon a Servant was all taken from him.

If he was a normal Mage or just a human, that amount would make him die.

The Command Spells that seemed like a tattoo on his left hand shone brightly, and the air moved within the Magic Circle.

The air grew hot. A current that shouldn't be possible indoors. Soon, the breeze changed into a whirlwind blowing in the living room.

Tamazuki stared at the Magic Circle drawn on the floor with fresh blood as it was unbelievably stated to emit a phosphorescent light.

Violent gusts were known to trample the room, blowing off TVs, flower vases, and other furniture. In the center of the Magic Circle, a mist started to rise and sparks scattered.

With all of this phenomenon, should he get a powerful Servant?

A flash, then a roaring sound like a thunderbolt.

Within a haze, a figure appeared.

With his eyes, it was impossible for him to miss the figure inside, and it made him dumbfounded.

The powerful Servant that he thought of wasn't seen anywhere.

Instead...

"Did you call me? My name is Scheherazade."

She lowered her head without even looking at him, showing utmost submission the moment she was summoned.

"If you are willing to listen to a simple wish, I will serve you forever as a king."
