Gamer In My Hero Academia - Chapter 21 I Order You..

After the talking with Lancer, the three other Servants, including Kagami dispersed with Saber and Irisviel heading directly to Kiritsugu’s location.

“Irisviel. What do you think Caster has planned. He didn’t seem very pleased when Lancer denied his request”.

“I’m also wondering about that too Saber. Caster is from the future and will have knowledge than none of us possess. He has a clear advantage in this War”.

Saber bit her lip and frowned. One Servant possessing the worst overall stats but knowledge and Skills from a multitude of different Classes. That was a very difficult enemy to defeat.

“Although I do wonder Saber…”.

Artoria turned her head and saw the white haired woman look out the window with a solemn expression.

“If he is going so far as to gather 4 Servants together, it makes me wonder what he is trying to do exactly…”.

The two sat in the car silently the entire trip back to the Einzbern Mansion both having the same thing on their minds,

‘Who are you Kagami Ren…’.

On the other side of town….

“Archer! I thought you would’ve killed Caster for his insolence, why-“.

“Silence Tokiomi! I do not care for his words, the only thing that Caster needs to do is stay out of my way regarding Saber! That cur…”.

They both sat in the main room of the Tohsaka Family Home with the golden haired King wearing his casual clothes from the Fifth Holy Grail War. His eyes narrowed when his Master mentioned Caster.

“I’m not stupid Tokiomi. Caster’s legend has not happened yet so no Heroic Spirit of this Age would have any knowledge on him or his myth. On the contrary, he has knowledge on all the Heroic Spirits participating in this Holy Grail War including myself! I am definitely contemplating whether to use Ea or Enki to wipe that bastards face right of the face of the Earth!”.

Archer’s face scrunched up and he took a large sip of wine.

“Call me later Tokiomi. I’m going to visit Kirei and see if he has anything on Caster…”.

Changing into his spirit form, Gilgamesh disappeared leaving Tokiomi alone with a mixed expression on his face.

‘Damn Servant. Need I remind you who the Master is here!’.

In a small two story house…

“Rider! Why did you agree to Caster’s request! It could be a trap!”.

The two were sitting in a small room with two beds and a box television in the corner. A large bearded man was sitting down watching the television with wide eyes.

“Are you even listening to me Rider, do I have to use a Command-“.

“Yes! Yes! I here you just fine boy! And no I’m not worried about Caster betraying us. He’s a Heroic Spirit he can’t be bad”.

Waver wanted to tear out his hair when he heard his Servant speak.

‘Isn’t this relationship supposed to be the other way around!’.

Rider only looked at the Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit on the television and said, “It must be pretty hard for someone to be considered a Hero in this age correct?”.

“Yeah, the Age of Gods has ended and the quality of Magecraft has severely decreased, why?”.

Rider’s smile only widened before saying, “So it must take a pretty amazing person to ascend to the Throne of Heroes, isn’t that right boy!”.

Waver subconsciously nodded before sitting up straight with a dropped jaw.

“You’re right! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that! He must possess skills that reach the same quality as the Age of Gods! Rider you’re a genius!”.

The giant of a man shook his head and muttered, “He must’ve been a most impressive man when alive. Unwavering, loyal, strong… just the kind of person you’d want as a second in command!”.

Rider smiled as he thought of Kagami, his army and himself travelling the world and conquering everywhere they go.

‘Maybe this time I won’t just stop at India…’.

In an hotel suite in Fuyuki City….

“Please Master! Let me go and assist Caster, the life of a little girl depends-“.

“I will not! He is lying to you Lancer! He is a Mage, and all Mages use their cunning and Magecraft to eliminate their opponents. I will not let-“.

“Kayneth, why don’t you let Lancer go. Look how adamant he looks…”.

A beautiful red head entered the room and walked over to the couch Kayneth was sitting on. Although he was her fiance, she only had eyes for one in the room and it wasn’t him.

“Sola!”.

Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sophia-Ri. Heir to the Sophia-Ri family since her elder brother did not have the capacity to succeed the Family Crest.

“I think it will be good for Lancer… and if you do this, and it is not a trap, will you obey all our commands from now on?”. Her voice became sweet by the end of it as she gazed at Lancer’s Mystic Face.

“Yes, I swear it as a Knight of Fianna!”.

Sola smiled and didn’t bother looking at her fiance before responding, “See. If you give a little then you’ll receive something back. You can learn a thing or two from Lancer, Kayneth”.

The latter clenched his fist and left the room, but not before giving his Servant and Sola-Ui a hateful glance.

‘Once this War is over… don’t believe you are safe…’.

In an abandoned apartment building….

A man whose skin was writhing and breathing a little unsteady sat down, leaning against the steep beams, spoke out,

“Berserker. Come”.

A shadowy apparition appeared in front of the man his breathing heavy and animalistic grunts could be heard through his helmet.

“I want to ask you. And I know that I might not get a response because of you Madness Enhancement. But…

Would you, despite abandoning your position as a Knight and betraying you King, save someone in need?”

Berserker growled when Kariya mentioned the word Knight and King but didn’t make a move.

“Would you put aside you differences for a single night and help me save someone?”.

The Knight of the Lake was silent and the black mist that distorted his stats faded.

“Would you help me… save Sakura?”.

Kariya couldn’t help but start crying and tears fell uncontrollably.

“Even if the entire world was against me? Even if you had to face Archer in single combat, would you fight for me?!”.

He shouted out, as if hoping to penetrate the black mist and reach his Servant. They was no reply for a moment but Kariya felt a hand on his shoulder,

“I will… Master”.

The white haired man nodded and passed out. A smile on his face was hidden by the worms but was unmistakable.

In the Einzbern Family Mansion….

“Caster! Do you have any idea what you are doing!”.

Kiritsugu sat down opposite me with a cold expression on his face.

“You are not my Master. I don’t have to do anything you say”.

“This wasn’t apart of the plan! You don’t just ask 2-

“3”.

“3 other Servants to help you with something completely irrelevant!”.

Kagami raised an eyebrow and responded, “So if Illyasviel’s life was on the line right now you wouldn’t save her? Even at the cost of the Grail?”.

Kiritsugu flinched a little but said, “I’ve come to far to allow myself to be swayed by things like that? I-“.

“A Hero of Justice? Wasn’t that what you wanted to be?”.

“How did you-!”.

“I’m from the future remember? I know everything about you… and the Dead Apostle”.

The mercenary flinched and sat back down, glaring at the Caster Servant. He wanted to say something, a retort, something smart but he just couldn’t find the words.

“Alright. I’m listening. You obviously want something so let’s hear it”.

Kagami held up his hand and counted down just as he reached 1 finger the doors opened and two figures came inside.

“Kagami! You better have a good explanation for this!”.

Saber came flying at Caster and landed a solid punch on the Servant sending him flying.

Kiritsugu sent a mental message over to Artoria, ‘Good hit’.

She didn’t respond to her Master’s comment and pulled Caster over by the scruff of his clothing.

“Sit! And you will explain everything!”.

Kagami, who was stretching his jaw said, “Fine. I want to kill a bunch of people and save one. Problem solved”.

He tried to walk away but Irisviel blocked his way her eyes narrowed, “Sit!”.

“Okay, okay! I need some assistance with eliminating the Matou’s. Everyone, except for Kariya and Sakura Matou are to be eliminated. Oh! But Zouken is left for me. I get special privileges”.

All three of them widened their eyes. The Matou’s or the Makiri’s are best known as one of the three founding family’s who established the Holy Grail War. If he wanted to eliminate all of them….

“Why? Why do you have so much hate-“.

“Do you know how old Zouken Matou is?”.

Kiritsugu spoke up, “I believe he is close to a hundred years old. He is the head of the Matou Family”.

I scoffed, “Try three hundred. That bastard is one of the three founding Mages who established the Holy Grail War. And he needs to die”.

They all were a little shocked, but Saber asked, “Why do you have such a hatred for this Zouken Matou? Is it something he does in the future?”.

“No it’s what he’s doing now. I will ask you two questions. Firstly, did you know that the Matou’s have degraded to such a state that they have no mages in this generation and had to ‘buy’ one of the Tohsaka daughters?”.

They each shook their head once again, showing signs of disgust and disappointment at both Family’s. It was rather common in this age but was always done behind closed doors so that outsiders wouldn’t find out.

“Second question. Do you know how Zouken Matou has stayed alive for over three hundred years. It’s Crest Worms”.

Irisviel hadn’t heard of Crest Worms and had a puzzled expression but Kiritsugu covered his mouth with his and hand Saber couldn’t help but swing her arm into the table, crushing it.

“Crest Worms? What are crest worms?”.

Saber spoke up, “I was familiar with this type of Magecraft and saw it first hand during my lifetime. It’s a vile, sick magecraft, even by Mage standards”.

I continued, “It is inserted into a Mages body and acts like ‘fake Magic circuits’. However this is where the good things end. When inside someone other than the user’s body it saps their prana and violates their body from the inside out

In men it drains them of all their life force until they die in women however it causes an uncontrollable lust which can only be satisfied by…”.

By this stage Irisviel’s face had grown pale and she nearly threw up.

“Sakura is barely 6 years old and has been living with the Matou’s for the better part of a year”.

The pressure in the room grew heavy and nobody expected her to make a move first. My Master raised her left hand and her the seals on her hand started to glow.

“Caster! By this Command Seal I order you! Eliminate Zouken Matou! By any means necessary!”.

A red wave on energy filled the room and I felt a sudden boost to my strength and my desire to kill Zouken was increased.

My smile couldn’t be any wider, “I understand Master!”.
