Her eyes narrowed and she whirled around, "Alright I'm here Sota, what the hell is so important you had to rush a meeting with me?" Rin demanded, baring her teeth at the younger boy from above and crossing her arms over her chest and began marching down to meet him.
"Aw, shows over?" the boy had the gall to actually pout, "And here I was enjoying myself."
"Yeah, I bet you were," Rin rolled her eyes, he was pretty blatant in checking her ass out yesterday, she knew what he was all about, "Now why did you drag me out here and interrupt me? I thought you were fine giving me time to think and get my affairs in order before we decided on this little alliance thing you were talking about yesterday."
Maybe it was the embarrassment getting the better of her, or maybe she was just that emboldened by his leering appreciation of her? The worst that would end up happening, no matter what way this went, was her spreading her legs for the younger teen, he wasn't going to kill her.
And while it was annoying she'd have to rely on the thickness of her ass to save her rather than her own skills, she just had to roll with the punches.
"Well the situation has changed quite a lot, at least to me since yesterday," Kei shrugged off her annoyance as she stopped in front of him at the bottom of the stairs, "This war is apparently a lot different than your standard fair grail war."
….What was he on about?
"And how exactly has it changed?" Rin raised an eyebrow at him, "That doesn't exactly tell me much. For all I know, you don't know how the war works normally anyway."
"I suppose I was pretty vague, but no I do know exactly how the usual Grail Wars work," Kei snorted, "And there's no way you would know this unless you had already summoned a servant or another master with a servant told you."
The implications of his words made her eyes widen, "You've summoned your servant already?" she gasped. It was obviously a possibility, but she'd thought with how much money he had he'd try and get his hands on a catalyst or something and take a little while, not just summon a few hours after the command seals appeared on his body, it wasn't something that should just be rushed.
"Oh yeah, Lancer and she's a badass," Kei grinned at her smugly making Rin huff in annoyance, "And I'm assuming since you haven't clocked on to what I'm hinting at you haven't summoned yours yet."
"…I was preparing for it when you annoyed me into coming out here to meet you," Rin grumbled. This was just the worst, he was already far stronger than her without a servant, so strong he thought he could match one even, and now he had one backing him up as well. Any resistance she put up here would just be token and feeble. The twin tailed magus swallowed heavily, "Alright then, what's so different about this war?" she asked, biting the bullet.
In for a penny, in for an ass pounding it seemed. Her ass really was defenceless right now.
"The grail has apparently accumulated a ton of energy over the years since if you'll believe it, out of the four wars that's taken place, not one has had a wish used." Kei explained, and Rin's eyes widened. She actually hadn't been aware of that.
…Considering just one war was enough to actualize a wish, the grail had to have at least four times as much magical energy it needed then.
"Because it has so much excess energy right now, it apparently triggered some kind of fail safe in the grail system itself," the younger thug continued, "In this grail war, it isn't just seven servants summoned by seven masters, it's fourteen divided between two factions of Red and Black, seven servants and masters versus seven servants and masters."
If her eyes got any wider in her shock at what she just heard, Rin was sure they would pop right out of their sockets, that's how insane what she just heard was.
She knew exactly how the grail worked. The death of seven servants was enough to power the grail for a wish, so far, there was at least twenty eight servants having been killed, twenty nine at least if her memory was right because of the Edelfelt's summoning twin saber servants in either the second or third grail war.
Did that not mean, if all the servants died during this war, the grail would have enough energy built up….to actualize 6 WISHES!?
But even was crazy was that was. Servants were straight up out of legend. As a child, she'd met a crazy caster servant summoned by a serial killer and saw the kind of stuff he could casually do and the devastation he caused with his noble phantasm.
And Caster was generally one of the weakest classes. If fourteen of those monsters were running around Fuyuki, taking part in a full on team battle against each other….the whole city could end up levelled!
"Wait!" a thought occurred as she thought on the faction battles, two teams of red and black, "…What team are you on?" she asked warily, hand itching towards the pocket of her skirt.
This could be way more dangerous for her than she realised before coming here.
…What if they were on opposite sides. She had no way of telling what side she was on right now. He might have been willing to risk letting her live to oppose him because he wanted to fuck her when she was just a lone magus, but what if she was on the opposite side from him? Six servants was a whole lot better than seven servants as far as battles went, right?
"I mean, does it matter?" Kei shrugged casually and smiled at her, he obviously saw her hand inching towards where she kept her gems, but made no made to stop her, "Even if we're on opposite sides, it doesn't change my offer to you."
Rin froze, her mind trying to wrap around what he just said. It was just stupid. Seriously, she was proud of her good looks, but she wasn't that hot. No way in hell was she hot enough for someone to want to risk getting ganged up on by two factions with servants.
Did he actually rate her that highly, that he was willing to risk all that danger-
"Besides, we're both on the red team," he casually revealed with a snort, "Servants can apparently sense what side other servants and masters are on."
Her lips trembled, drawing up and dropping down, like a dog beginning to snarl, "You…..you absolute little shit!" Rin shouted at him, anger completing enveloping her.
He had her terrified, her heart beating a mile a minute then dropped all that sweet stuff about not caring about her being on another team and would basically still want her only to do this!?
"You're such an asshole Sota!" Rin growled, stomping her foot hard.
In response to her anger, the younger teen just laughed, "Well I am a Yakuza leader." he pointed out 'helpfully'.
She wanted to sock him across the jaw and wipe that smug little smile off of his smug thug face.
