First Day 3

The thing about servants was, that if it came down to just a physical fight? You liked your chances with most to be honest. The way servant stats worked was well known in the magus community. No, the problem came with servant skills, and beyond that, the most daunting of all, Noble Phantasms. Crystalized, conceptual legends.

It didn't matter how strong you could punch when a conceptual weapon got tossed your way. If a Heroic Spirit had a legend of never missing with a bow and that was their Noble Phantasm, then reality itself would bend over and take it in the ass, and then that arrow was going to hit you no matter what.

There were very few counters to a Noble Phantasm, which was why servants were so damn revered.

"So that's it," Rin relaxed slightly, standing up and crossing her arms, "You realise that only one person can win the grail war right?"

"Yep," you popped your lips as you answered, "It just means we'd team up until we're the last masters standing, then let our servants fight it out, simple, no?" left unsaid was that, beyond just a noble phantasm, you were sure you could fight a servant physically. So you and a servant of your own, against any one servant? Well sorry Tohsaka, but victory would be yours.

Rin closed her eyes, sighing to herself before opening them and giving you a pointed look, "And let me ask you this, why would I team up with you?" she asked, "What do you have to offer? You said you're a spellcaster right, so you have no lineage or spells, you're a first generation."

"Not quite." you shook your head and reached up to pull your jacket off, dropping it behind you and pushing up your left sleeve. You opened the circuits hidden at the top of your right arm, and a band of light like a glowing ring tattoo phased into existence.

Her eyes widened, "A family crest!" she gasped.

"Yup, a gift from my old master." you grinned at her.

"B-but how!?" the twin tailed girl spluttered, "It's insanely hard already to transfer a magic crest to a blood family member, how would you get one?"

"Well, let's say that your family magic is jewel craft, while the one I had passed on to me by that old pervert, is a type of body enhancement magic, that combined with a quite rare Origin, allowed me to get around the rejection without issue." you explained. And by passed on, you mean you ripped it from his corpse and implanted it in yourself. It hurt like a motherfucker, but you were easily able to deal with the rejection and overcome it.

Rin shook her head, "I see, I see why you're so confident now."

"Beyond that," you sent a smirk her way and began to slowly walk over to her, "You said it yourself didn't you? What you lack right now, is resources. I've got plenty, I don't mind supplying you funding, and there's no reason why an alliance has to end with the Grail War."

She tensed a bit, but otherwise didn't react aggressively as you stopped in front of her, "And what exactly would that cost me?" she asked suspiciously, but there was interest there as well.

"To be honest, this is all just something I've come up with on the spot when I saw you up here," you laughed, and reached up to pull your collar aside to show off the command seals you'd shifted to your right pectoral with your body modification magic, "I woke up with these this morning and decided that keeping my head below the surface wouldn't work all that well for me from now on in regards to you and the Matou's. But really, I'm offering this for two reasons."

She crossed her harms, "Oh really, and what are those two reasons?" Rin asked.

You held up one finger, "One, It'd be such a waste to have to kill you if we ended up fighting, it would not only be the end of your family line but also remove your own talent from the world."

Her eyes narrowed into a glare, "And you're so sure you'd be the one to win in a fight between us?" she tilted her chin challengingly at you.

A small laugh left you and you moved! Suddenly, a split moment later you were on her other side, facing the same way as her, arm threw casually over her shoulder, "Yeah I'm pretty sure," you replied while her eyes went wide with shock and a trickle of sweat trailed down the side of her face, "If it wasn't for the Noble Phantasms servants have, I'd be pretty confident in my ability to beat them down without one."

Rin swallowed heavily, "...I see your point," she replied simply, keeping her cool. She had a strong mind, you liked that about her, "So what's your second reason for wanting an alliance then?"

"Oh that?" you mused lightly, "Well, I already told you that first before anything else right? You have an outstanding natural beauty to you. A silly reason, but even as awesome as I am, I'm still a teenage boy and you're one of the hottest girls I've ever seen." You cast a quick look over her shoulder at that thick, round ass over hers and had to stop yourself whistling, damn it was nice.

"So you want to sleep with me then, is that?" Rin looked at you through the corner of her eye, a frown on her face, searching for something.

"Well yeah, what guy wouldn't want to sleep with you," you gave another chuckle, "I'm not gonna force you to or anything like that, so don't worry, I'll even sign a geass on that if you want if you decide to accept the alliance."

Her shoulders sagged ever so slightly and you could see the relief in the older girls eyes, "...So basically, you're just a greedy, horny brat in the end despite your strength?" Rin snorted.

Well, that summed you up pretty well actually.

"I mean you aren't wrong," you shrugged, unashamed, "Once upon a time my parents got burned to death in the Fuyuki Fire and I got dragged away in the end by an old pervert who wanted to take my body for himself. In the process, I decided to live the most fulfilling life I can."

She turned her head to stare at you in open mouthed shock.

"That's my tragic backstory by the way, it's how I know I'm total protagonist material," you winked. You'd long since gotten over the tragedy of your toddler years, but it worked great for generating sympathy and making people more tolerant to you, "I'm a hedonist through and through, sex, money, influence, power, overall growth, it's what I live for, but I'm an honest hedonist at least."

"Ugh," Rin palmed her forehead and stepped out of your grasp, "What a headache you are, and there I was actually feeling some sympathy for you and then you tack that crap on at the end."

She looked you back in the eye, "So, is that it, your full offer then?" she asked.

"Not really," you laughed, "I've got quite the interesting little ability that you in particular will love, but it's something I keep close to the chest. You'll only find out about it if you agree to the team up."

She arched an eyebrow at you before snorting and smirking at you, crossing her arms under her modest bust, "Alright, gimme some time to think about it, and I'll consider it." she said.

Hmm you hummed inwardly. Good enough you supposed, "Alright, gimme your cell phone number and we can talk later in a call."

Rin lost her smirk and she gave you a confused look, "What the heck is a cell phone?"
