Chapter 4

Thanks for marking the location of my school and homeroom, system.

[No problem.]

Entering my homeroom, I see that there are around 20 people in there. Seems like I was a bit late, but not late enough to be marked as late or absent. The teacher hasn't even arrived yet, and it's not even 8:30 anyways.

My classroom seems to be like any other normal classroom there is. The window seats had all the anime protagonists and popular kids in them. Meanwhile, the normal kids and the side characters sat at either the back, right in the middle row, or the front. Yeah, pretty cliché.

Anyways, taking a seat at an empty desk, I began to think of some important things.

"Hey Ren, that's actually Yoshida's seat," I heard.

I turned to see where the voice was coming from, and it looked like it came from the smart kid. He's your typical stereotypical smart kid. Has glasses, many books, and is studying before class. He has neat brown hair, average looking face, brown eyes, some black glasses, and seems to be both skinny and short. Though I can tell that he has confidence and optimism in is eyes, so he might not be bullied. That's only a maybe though.

"Oh, right. I have a lot on my mind, so I forgot where my seat was. Could you tell me where my seat is?" I said.

"…Y-yeah, it's right over there," he said while pointing towards a seat that was already occupied. That tone didn't sound so good…

The one on my seat was sitting down rather casually and had her legs on my desk. Does she have no thoughts about doing that? I could see some of her underwear…

She was playing on a Game Boy while having a lollipop in her mouth. She has neat, blonde hair tied in a ponytail while having her bangs separated, smooth-looking skin, bright green eyes, and had an annoyed look on her face. She looked…like a 6th grader. Seems like she's still waiting for the old stones to drop, eh?

Anyways, she seems rather focused on whatever game she was playing, but I think it's Super Mario Land, as that was probably the most popular game on the Game Boy.

"Hey…could you get out of my-"

"No." She cut me off. I could hear some arrogance and superiority by the tone of her voice. She's a little too prideful.

Well that didn't work out well. Anyways, I'm quite adept as to how work with bitchy girls or just girls in general who are like this. I've taken some Sigma Male lessons and how to react and respond to the Beta Female. I'm not one of those degenerate simps and I don't plan on turning into one either.

…Wait….what?

Suddenly, memories came flooding in my mind.

I remember some parts of my life. I remember that I was born in 1999 and I spent my childhood playing some old games. I don't remember the exact date I was born though.

Castlevania, Modern Warfare 2, Oblivion, RuneScape, Metal Gear Solid 2, Ace Combat 4, and Super Mario. I remember that after work, I'd watch strange meme videos about Gigachads, Sigmas, Motivation…specifically around 2022, or around that.

I remember emulating the TYPE-MOON visual novels on an emulator, which explains the information I have about the Nasuverse.

Huh, I guess I'll slowly remember things before this transmigration happened. Maybe I'll finally get to know what my name is.

Anyways, going behind the girl's-well, MY chair, I grab both back legs of it and used my right leg to sweep the right front leg of the chair, while simultaneously using both my arms to pull the back legs to the left. The chair flew about 2 feet away.

The result was…satisfying. She immediately flipped over on the ground and her back was firmly implanted on it too. And worst of all, I have a full view of the girl's underwear…poor girl…now I'm starting to feel bad…never mind, there's no time to feel bad about her. She got herself into this situation herself. Shouldn't have thought about being superior to others, lest you want to face the consequences.

She almost instantly got up with her hair all messy. She had a heavy scowl on her face.

"Tch, you damn bitch! What was that for!" She screamed.

Grabbing the chair I immediately put it back up and took a seat on it. Before that, I put my backpack on my chair and drank some water. After that, I scooted the chair up a bit, and continued on with my day.

Surprisingly, the entire class was oblivious as to what happened.

Anyways, the year is currently 1993, which is one year before the 4th Holy Grail War...I wonder if I can survive the war or not. I'm 100% sure I can defeat all the Masters and their supports, but I don't know about the Servants. Meh, I'm not gonna be a Master anyways, so the least I can do is help out a Master.

[A-ranked Servant stats are equivalent to 250 stats on the system.]

Oh...

Well, never mind then. I can match the Servants in everything, and with my durability negation, I'm sure I can kill them. By the way, what type of Servant abilities am I immune to?

[King Hassan's Azriel or any type of death manipulation, Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon or Ea-specifically existence erasure, durability negation, regeneration negation, sealing, BB's bullshit, Berserker Lancelot's Knight of Owner, etc. What I'm trying to say here, is that only things that are physical can hurt you. Like blades, fire, ice, bullets, those types of things.]

Oh…well then, I don't have to worry about fighting Gilgamesh then.

"HEY! DON'T IGNORE ME! I ALREADY ASKED YOU A QUESTION, SO HURRY UP AND ANSWER ME!" The blondie screamed, getting the attention of the entire class.

Oh, forgot about her. But judging from the tone of her voice, she might be a tsundere who's never been appreciated. God, is this another Olga?!

Don't even get me started with her! She's arrogant, prideful, annoying, ignorant in a bad way, and is straight up just a bitch! Just because no one's appreciated you, doesn't mean you gotta be Gilgamesh but worse! And just because you can't match up with your father's skills doesn't make you worse! It's like she's ignorant of the fact that every person is different and everyone has their talents and inabilities or their own personalities. It's like the concept of pride and "I'm the only important person on the planet," just went inside of her.

Like, I don't give a shit. Some people might, but most don't. The universe doesn't, other worlds don't, and Eldritch beings do not give a shit. She acts as if she was the most important thing in the first place. And judging by her personality, it's safe to assume her ego is bigger than all of Dante's Divine Comedy's Hell and Heaven combined.

God, women like her just piss me off to the core.

[…Not a big fan of Olga Animusphere, are you?]

Oh wow, thanks for the observation, Captain Obvious.

[Never mind then. Also, class is about to start.]

Anyway, moving on to the blondie, I simply just said something that came up in my mind.

"Shut up. Just because you're a woman doesn't mean I can't disrespect you or insult you. Anyway, your tits are quite small, so I think you're growing the wrong part of your body-which is your mouth. And I think it's big enough already. Be sure to stop growing it, lest you want us all to become deaf. Though, I can't blame you for that. I guess you got some really bad genes if you still look like a 6th grader. Then again, I guess all that growth from puberty went it into that mouth of yours, which is why you're so loud. If you want to have a better body and personality, there's always a chance at reincarnation," I said.

After saying that, you can simply say that this girl's soul just shattered.

"D-dude! You killed her!" I heard a voice.

Ignoring all the agape mouths and flabbergasted stares, I began to think of something else.

…This is no good. I'm starting to think more about my things instead of what others are thinking, but then again, practically everyone in this school isn't really important in my eyes. Though, they all have their own unique life and everything, so it'd be a bit mean to not care about them…

Especially what I said to that girl over there…ARGHHH! All this thinking is making my emotions go all over the place! Y'know what! I'll just leave it to Fate! What comes, go's!

[Sorry to interrupt your thinking, but you aren't actually connected to fate or The Root, so I'm afraid you can't rely on it. There might be more problems concerning this, like Alaya and the Counter Force, or beings like Gaia. I highly recommend that you use the shop function to buy the things necessary to defeat them using the shop function. There, you can buy new weapons or skills. You can even summon Servants.]

Forgot about that. What do you suggest for me to buy?

[I recommend [Magic Seals (I-V) (EX+)] to deal with the Counter Force, Alaya, and Gaia. You can permanently kill them off and seal them away using these. If you're lazy, you can buy something stupendously overpowered. Like the [7 Spears of The Scarlet King],

[An Author's Keyboard, Pen, and Paper], [Narrative Transcendence], [All But A Dream], or [Simply Fictional]. Though, the required money for those are absolutely ridiculous. Then again, you could buy a

[Duplicator (A++)], and several very powerful, one-use items, or items in general.]

Thanks, system. But I noticed that the OP abilities you listed don't have a rank. Why is that?

[Simple. They're just too powerful to Nasuverse standards. The

[7 Spears of The Scarlet King] contain some of the power from the Scarlet King,

[An Author's Keyboard, Pen, and Paper] allows you to completely control every iteration, every single incarnation, every single idea, and every version of the Nasuverse, whether fictional or real, and allows you to decide what happens in it. It basically allows you to be the author of a fictional verse.

[Narrative Transcendence] is basically 3812's ability, [All But A Dream] allows you to pass off everything as something that doesn't exist, and merely something you dreamed of, and [Simply Fictional] makes everything around you, and everything you know, fictional. In short, you'd absolutely stomp them if you got your hands on one of these powers.]

Woah…

My thoughts were quickly interrupted when the teacher came inside the classroom. He wore a white button-up shirt, a brown belt, and black khakis. He has serious black eyes, his short, black hair was gelled back, and he had a stern face.

I then noticed someone right next to him.

"Class! Be quiet! And get in your seats! Today, I'm gonna introduce a new student today. Her name is Ciel. Please treat her well," he said.

Well, shit. Of course they had to send Ciel here. And I'm pretty sure I underestimated the Burial Agency's tracking skills.

"Hello/Good morning!" I heard the class.

"Hello! It's nice to meet you all! This is my first year going here, so please treat me well! I hope we all get to know each other well!" Ciel said.

Good grief...I can never get used to the Nasuverse. Though, at least it isn't something like SCP or Cthulhu Mythos. Anyways, it seems that Ciel is staring right at me and waved.

As I waved back, Ciel mouthed the words, "Meet me after school."

...

After school had ended, I went up, packed my backpack, and headed out to the entrance.

Arriving at the entrance, I see Ciel waiting for me.

"Ah, there you are. Anyways, let's get straight to business," she said. Getting closer to my ear, she whispered, "Last night, I saw that you were fighting Dead Apostles. Though they're just ghouls, you had excellent strength and speed while dealing with them. I also came to the conclusion that you get stronger the more you're damaged. I was originally supposed to deal with them, but I was a bit too late, so I told the Burial Agency about what happened. They told me that I was to inform you about some thoughts about joining, and they aren't taking no for an answer. So then, would you like to join?" Ciel said.

"I'll think about it. I have a a lot on my mind, so give me some time. To answer some possible questions, no, I've never went to the Clock Tower nor do I think of taking any lessons of magecraft, and yes, I can cast spells and I have my own attacks and such," I whispered.

"Well, I guess I'll see you later Ciel, meet me at Fuyuki Park at 10:30," I said.

…

Checking the time on the system, I went out in my casual clothes and head to Fuyuki Park. In the distance, I see Ciel sitting down on a bench with a street light next to it. Her head suddenly jerks up and she was now staring at me.

"Hey," I greeted.

"Hi there. So about the invitation…"

"Right. Well, I honestly don't really want to join. I'm just a guy who's a Dead Apostle hunter for fun. Although you could say I'm technically a mercenary," I said.

"Ah, I see."

"Then forgive me if I hurt you too badly," she said as she tried using her Mystic Eyes of Whisper on me.

Keyword: tried.

As soon as she tried to, I quickly let out a palm strike on her left shoulder…which broke it.

"Argh!!" She groaned in pain. She quickly retreated backwards and got 3 Black Keys out. In retaliation, I threw 3 knives at her in quick succession, which also led her into dodging and throwing her Black Keys at me.

Summoning my Guardian Cagnazzo, it immediately shielded me from harm and proceeded to destroy the Keys.

I don't want to hurt her too bad, so the least I can do is to knock her out.

Telling the Cagnazzo to hold back, I quickly dashed towards her in order to land a punch barrage with the Cagnazzo. But it seems like she used Reinforcement to quickly get out it's range.

…

Ciel POV:

Crap, this guy's a lot tougher than I thought. He showed immunity to my Mystic Eyes, and can easily keep up with my speed. Black Keys do no good to him because of that familiar thing he has. Getting up close is basically a death wish, and I can't kite him either because of his knives. Plus it doesn't seem like he's actually trying, so he could easily defeat me. The only thing left is to knock him out, but it's safe to assume that won't work.

Since he gains strength from taking damage, it's safe to assume that he can't be knocked out. Getting knocked out is also taking damage, so he probably wouldn't get knocked out and would rather get stronger from it. I'm in a huge disadvantage here.

Using Reinforcement to dodge his familar's blurring strikes, I try to think of a plan.

…I don't actually have one. I'm clearly outmatched in almost every category except experience, since this guy is clearly fighting without a plan. Unless he's planning to swarm me and go full offense so I can't think or strategize. God, why does a newbie like me have to take this guy on?

My thoughts were quickly cut off when he flashed in front of me and said, "ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORAAA!!!"

Almost instantaneously, his familiar closed the distance between us and let out a furious barrage of punches.

"AAAHHHHH!!!" I screamed out. I felt each and every one of my bones either breaking or rattling from the force of those punches.

…

Ren POV:

As I saw the broken Ciel on the ground, I began to form a plan.

Since the Burial Agency is so lenient about me joining it, I could just talk to Ciel to lead me there so I could try to negotiate with them. Yeah, that sounds like a decent plan.

Approaching Ciel who was on the ground, I poked her to see if she was conscious.

*poke*

*poke*

"Hey, you still conscious?" I asked.

No answer. I guess I'll just have to carry her.

[Here's the location of the Church.]

Putting Ciel on my shoulder, I began to go to the church. But right before I accepted my rewards.

…

After arriving at the church, I saw Risei Kotomine reading a bible.

"Good evening, Father. I'm here to ask you about something," I said.

"I'm sorry, but we aren't really doing confessions at this time-"

Upon seeing Ciel's body on my shoulder he immediately questioned me.

"Are you the one that the Burial Agency was looking for?" He said.

"Yeah. The Burial Agency invited me into their group. I decided to decline though, so I had to fight this pretty lady they sent," I said.

"Mr. Amashiya, I've been expecting you." I heard a smooth voice say.

"My name is Noi Seonator Granfatima, and I am the highest ranking member of the Burial Agency. I am the one who sent Ciel to try to invite you here and to to test your strength. And by the looks of it, you're more then capable of joining. But you probably declined, didn't you?" He said while eyeing Ciel.

I couldn't quite see his face, but I could see his clothes. They seem to be the average Executor outfit.

"Yeah, that's right. I did decline. And just like you expected, I came here. But I'm only here to address some things, that's all," I said.

"First of all, I don't want to make an enemy of you, it was just self-defense. And even if you're so lenient on trying to make me join, we can at least just get on good terms with each other or just make an alliance. Sound good with you?" I explained.

"Hmm…seems reasonable enough. But I question you…what type of things are you going to offer for us?" He said.

"Personal services for money," I said.

"Hah! So you wish to be some sort of personal hitman? Very well then, that is acceptable. Speaking of which, we already have a job for you," he said.

"Cool, what is it?" I questioned.

"Already interested in it, are we? Very well then. It is a job to test if you're really as strong as you say you are. There's a Dead Apostle Ancestor with his army of ghouls with him. We've also found word that the famed Magus Killer and his subordinate are currently fighting them due to some bad luck. Ally with them if you'd like, but all we need is that we have to confirm if the Ancestor is dead or not. Are you willing to do this?" He said.

"Sure, why not. I have plenty of things to kill an Ancestor anyways," I said.

"As confident as ever, I see. Very well then. My familiar will guide you to the Ancestor," he said as he brought out his familiar. It seems it was just a simple familiar. It had a basic appearance of a bat, and as soon as it was summoned, it immediately began flying outside.

"Hey! Wait for me! Don't leave me behind!" I said while running towards it.
