4 Chapter 2 Servant?

Exiting the Temple and walking down the hundreds of stairs it took to get down, Takemi had his hand on his chin the entire way down.

"I think... this is the 'Irregular' one. The one set at the end of the 21st century", he muttered. Since the main two characters were only around 12-13, Takemi reasoned that canon obviously hadn't started yet.

He wasn't sure what he had to do. He had been dropped into this new world with a system and-.

"The [System]! Of course!", the young boy waited for a second before semi-translucent screen popped out in front of him.

Magecraft: Magecraft or Thaumaturgy is the artificial reenactment of Mystery, which is ordinarily possible only by inhuman beings. It is the ability to bring about what is possible through science with supernatural means; although the process is considered a miracle, the end result is not. It is possible to acquire Magecraft without using the [System].

Skills: Skills are abilities which Type-Moon characters have gained over the course of their lifetime. They are broken up into Personal Skills, Class Skills and Race Skills. It is possible to acquire Skills without using the [System].

Servants: Servants are Heroic Spirits have been summoned to participate in a Holy Grail War. With the [Type-Moon System] the purchase of any character from the Type-Moon universe is possible. In certain situations it is possible to acquire Servants without using the System

Items: Items are things ranging from books, to Holy Grail's, to Noble Phantasm. Any inanimate object from the Type-Moon universe can be purchased. In certain situations it is possible to acquire Servants without using the System.

TMP: 0

Only four tabs popped up but each one of them had a little plus sign next to the name in order to show the sub-headings beneath each tab.

"Woah! [System] is there anything else you can do!", Takemi tried to collect myself but being in this body made me jump up and down, unable to hold my excitement in.

"Ding! The [System] has two other abilities other than the Shop. One is Status the other is Missions. The use may check their abilities in the Status and will receive tasks and quests from the Missions tab.

"Status!"

Name: Mikazuchi Takemi

Age: 13

Magic Circuits: 0

Origin: Truth

Magecraft: 0

Skills: 1

Servants: 0

Items: 0

"That's so-! Wait? I don't possess any Magic Circuits! [System] what is the meaning of this?".

"The user was not born a mage so you naturally do not possess Magic Circuits".

Takemi ran his hands through his hair and tried to pull on it, "So what? I can't become a magus?".

"The [System] did not say that. It is possible to gain Magic Circuits through the [System] by exchanging TMP, or Type-Moon points".

The boy reached the bottom of the stairs and frowned, "And how do you earn TMP?".

"There are 3 ways. 1. Complete missions. 2. Defeating enemies. 3. Exchanging items. These are the only ways to earn TMP, however...".

Luckily there was no-one around otherwise people would've seen a strange kid with strange eyes sitting down at the bottom of a Temple steps, talking to himself. That would be a great way for the police to get involved.

"However what?".

The [System] responded, "The [System] gives away one free exchange to the User for anything below EX Rank. This is the only time something will be 'free'. The [System] suggests you chose-".

"Denial of Nothingness!".

The [System] was silent for a moment before responding, "The [System] does not have the ability to give out True Magic. However the [System] suggests purchasing-"

"Avalon!".

"Noble Phantasm: Avalon is a EX Rank Noble Phantasm. It requires a special condition to be cleared first. And no, you may not know the special condition".

Takemi sighed and shook his head. Of course they wouldn't let him be overpowered from the very beginning, "Okay [System] what do you recommend?".

"The [System] suggest purchasing a Servant to both protect and teach you. Since you already possess the Mystic Eyes of Empyrean, the Saber Class Servant Miyamoto Musashi would be perfect to teach you Skills without having to pay. It is the option which gives the most in for the least amount of return".

The twelve year old boy nodded. It was smart. Miyamoto Musashi was renowned as one of, if not the greatest swordsman to ever come from Japan so he wouldn't be worried about his Servants strength. His pros included his Nito-Ichi-ryū style of swordsmanship, his Book of Five Rings and his Noble Phantasm: Six Realms Five Planes - The Divine Figure of Kurikara. His cons included the fact that he couldn't learn Magecraft or gain Magic Circuits.

He was stuck. Becoming a Magus was his way of reaching the ROOT and becoming a Sorcerer. The First True Magic was something that he had dreamed of ever since he read about in on the Type-Moon wiki page.

With a sigh Takemi said, "[System] exchange the free ticket for the Saber Class Servant Miyamoto Musashi".

"Ding! Transaction completed".

And with that a bright light filled the street and the two kids who were coming down the stairs looked at each other before both of them ran down the Temple steps. Their speeds faster and more dangerous than some of the fastest runners in the world.

"Miyuki get behind me", said Tatsuya. The emotionless twelve year old boy didn't think he would meet that kid so quickly. He thought he would have to spend a couple days searching his trail before he found him.

"Onii-sama? What was the light?".

Before the elder brother could respond to his sister the light faded and a beautiful girl stood in front of Takemi.

"I am Shinmen Musashi-no-Kami Fujiwara Harunobubu- Ah? Sorry can I do this again?".

Takemi nodded.

"Servant Saber! Shinmen Musashi had arrived! Show me something fun and interesting, Master", the girl had exactly the same pair of eyes as Takemi. A fact that wasn't missed by Tatsuya or Miyuki. Servant Saber looked down at her Master and her eyes widened and smiled when she saw his eyes.

"Yosh! Are you my descendant? It seems like fate ordained someone with the same eyes to be my Master".

Her Master, Takemi felt a little pain on the back of his wrist and three Command Seals the shape of sword burned onto his skin. Clenching his hand slightly he looked at his Servant and said, "Saber, let's go. I've got a lot to explain to you".

The Servant only smiled. She knew that she had not been summoned to participate in a Holy Grail War yet she was pulled out of the Throne of Heroes anyway. No information about this era, including the language and culture were all unknown to her.

"Alright Master! However I expect a payment, in food!", the thought of delectable delights caused the beautiful girls mouth to water. Takemi only held hopped onto the Servants back and held on tight. He knew even a Caster Servant had a physical strength greater than any human of this age. If this was the limits of a Caster then a Saber must be...

"Ready Master?".

With a resolute nod, Takemi gave one glance back to Tatsuya and Miyuki and said, "I hope we meet again. I won't forget you two".

The boy smiled before his Servant jumped causing the concrete beneath her legs to crack and burst of wind sent the duo leaping away with massive gaps between each jump. The brother and sister duo however just watched awe evident in both their eyes.

"Do you think Kokonoe-sensei wants to know about this?", asked Miyuki.

Tatsuya nodded. There was so many things that happened in that moment that he had to go back and tell his Master. Turning around the siblings each gave a sigh as they climbed the veritable mountain of steps that it took to reach the top.

Meanwhile two people with red and blue eyes soared through the sky jumping from building to building feeling nothing but the wind in their faces and the ruffling of their clothes.

"So Master, can I ask you a question?".

"Yeah Saber. What is it?".

"How did you summon me?".

The boy was silent for a moment before replying, "Gacha!".

"Gacha? What is that Master?".

Clenching his fist the boy responded, "Gacha is the worst thing in the world! Gacha makes you spend money that you could spend on food to roll for things with ridiculous rates! Many people have gone hungry because of Gacha, eating nothing but rice and two minute noodles".

The Saber Servant paled, "Gacha sounds very bad! This age must be difficult for a lot of people!".

Takemi shook his head, "But Gacha allowed my to meet you! So despite it being a bad thing, I believe that Gacha can bring people together Saber!".

He couldn't see it but the Saber Servant's cheeks reddened before quickly turning back to normal.

"Master, one more thing?".

"Yes Saber?".

"Hypothetically speaking, if there were people following us shouting, "Stop, Stop this is the police!", what should we do?".

Takemi tilted his head, "We course we shouldn't stop. They'll take you away from me".

Musashi smiled at her Master before looking down at the red and blue flashing lights. Dropping onto the roof of a building she was about to switch directions before a man came through the roof entrance and shouted,

"Stop! This is Chiba Toshikazu with the Kanagawa Prefecture Police! Unknown Magician put down the child and identify yourself!".
