Tokiomi mentally planned how to use Sora, this Assassin.
However, seeing his teacher like this, Kirei felt a sense of disdain within him for some reason.
After all, the usually perfect Tokiomi had guessed wrong this time.
He was tempted to let Tokiomi continue to embarrass himself.
But now, before his awakening, Kirei used his reason to stop that thought.
"Sensei, Assassin is not Hassan-i-Sabbah," Kirei said.
"What, he isn't!!?" Hearing Kirei's words, Tokiomi was shocked.
"How could he not be? Hasn't Assassin always been Hassan-i-Sabbah?"
"No, no, it's normal for him not to be. After all, each person is different!" Tokiomi forced himself to calm down.
After a moment, he asked Kirei: "So, what about Assassin's situation..."
"It's like this," Kirei explained. "Assassin said he is not a Servant from this world, but a Servant from another world. He is a Ninja, or perhaps a samurai."
"I see..." Tokiomi's expression became somewhat grim.
"I feel like this is worse than Hassan-i-Sabbah. But there's no choice now. Without Hassan-i-Sabbah as Assassin, we'll make do with this Ninja-samurai unknown otherworldly Servant."
"Have Assassin go out to gather intelligence, Kirei. Let's see what this Assassin is capable of," Tokiomi said.
"Understood!" Kirei had no objections.
He then came to Sora: "Assassin!"
"I'm here, Master!" Sora replied.
Kirei said expressionlessly: "I have a task for you. Go out and gather intelligence. Find out as much as you can about the other Servants and Masters. Can you do that?"
"Of course, Master!" Sora smiled.
What he needed right now, being unfamiliar with the place, was precisely some free time. Kirei's request was perfect for going out.
"Well then, I'll be going, Master!" Sora said.
"Go, Assassin. I'll be waiting here for you!" Kirei nodded.
Then, as he said, Kirei watched Sora disappear from his sight.
Finally, Kirei went to Tokiomi.
"Sensei, Assassin has gone out."
"Good, I understand. Good work, Kirei," Tokiomi said, elegantly raising his wine glass. "No need to worry about Assassin. Our victory in this Holy Grail War is assured."
"The only question is how we will achieve victory based on the intelligence we gather."
Tokiomi said.
"Very well, Sensei," Kirei nodded. He wanted to say he wasn't bothered, but ultimately remained silent.
However, Sora couldn't be bothered with this twisted master-student pair.
He quickly went out. To avoid being dragged down by Kirei and Tokiomi, his best option now was to find a new Master!
The problem was, where to find a new Master?
Sora thought for a moment, then came up with an idea!
In Fuyuki City, Sora extended his senses.
Then, a chaotic, twisted soul appeared in his perception!
It was the location of Ryunosuke Uryuu, the Master of the Caster, Bluebeard.
Fortunately, at this moment, Uryuu had only received the Command Seals, but hadn't summoned a Servant yet.
"Good, you'll do."
Sora ran swiftly!
Meanwhile, although Uryuu hadn't summoned a Servant yet, he was already preparing!
"Haha, hahaha!" Looking at the summoning circle drawn in blood before him, Uryuu laughed maniacally. "True art, the real art is coming!"
"Come forth, my demon!"
At Ryunosuke's call, the blood-summoning circle before him began to glow.
But then...
Squelch!
A clear sound of a blade cutting flesh echoed.
Uryuu felt his right arm become lighter. The next moment, a cooling sensation, followed by intense pain, came.
"Ahhh! My arm, my arm!"
Uryuu turned his head. Where was his arm now? His entire arm had been severed by a cold-looking man.
At that moment, the man was looking at the Command Seals on the back of Ryunosuke's hand.
"So these are Command Seals," Sora mused thoughtfully, activating his Tenseigan to analyze them.
But then, the insane Ryunosuke was overwhelmed with rage. "Bastard, who are you? Give me back my arm!"
"Me? I'm Assassin."
"As for your arm?" Sora drew his blade across Ryunosuke's neck.
