((Note: Happy Thanksgiving day! Time to give you a chapter. Let's do this.))
No POV
Khiry & Astolfo are looking at each other as Khiry sees the lance in his hands.
Khiry: That lance belongs to Argalia, who is a knight & prince of Cathay, isn't it?
Astolfo: Yes. This lance came from him, & I won it in a lance competition.
Khiry: I thought that spear has a low killing ability.
Astolfo: It does. It acts only as a cavalry lance unstrengthened by magecraft, unable to pierce through all defenses, & lacking any special killing blows like always piercing the heart.
Khiry is now looking at the dead king cobra.
Astolfo: Although it will still cause the enemy to bleed & kill them should it penetrate their heart, killing is not its primary intent, but it does prove deadly in battle.
Khiry: Okay, I guess that makes sense.
Khiry's HUD is telling the cobra is poisonous.
Khiry: Hmm...
Khiry walks to the cobra, lift his left leg, & break one of his teeth. He picks it up & analyzes the tooth. He decided to put the tooth in the black gem on his dagger, causing the dagger to transform into a snake based dagger.
Name: Jealous Fang
Attributes: Poison
Capabilities: This dagger can create, shape, and manipulate and poisonous substances. For the sake of clarity: poison, toxin, and venom are terms for any substance that injures the health or destroys life when absorbed into the system: poison is the general word, is a poison produced by an organism (plant, fungus, animal); it is especially used in medicine in reference to disease-causing bacterial secretions, is especially used of the poisons secreted by certain animals, usually injected by bite or sting.
Limitation: May be unable to create poison, being limited to manipulating only from already existing sources. Distance, mass, precision, etc. depend upon the knowledge, skill, and strength of the user and their power's natural limits. May lack Poison Immunity and Poison Absorption, making mistakes in manipulation harmful to the users as well. Weak against Poison Sealing.
Khiry: Maybe I can do combat with this.
Khiry then looks at Astolfo & send a party request to Astolfo, who is surprised at the request.
Astolfo: Wait!
Khiry: what?
Astolfo: You would actually recruit me?
Khiry: Yeah.
Astolfo: Even if I am dub, "the weak of the paladins" & the weakest in my servant class?
Khiry: The strongest is the heart. You have this cheering aura that could help us. Plus, if you knew about the dream I had, then I don't need or give you a reason not to recruit you.
Astolfo is stunned & started to shed a few tears. He then accepted it & his name popped up under Mordred with his emblem, but the emblem is a horse's head with wheels.
Khiry(Mind): That must be the Rider emblem.
Khiry: Now that we got all of this out the way, let us go meet your partner.
Astolfo: Ok. Bye-bye.
Khiry: Was it really necessary to bye to the snake?
Khiry & Astolfo started walking away from the dead cobra.
Khiry: Wait a minute. why were you in the forest?
Astolfo: Oh. I was on my way to do recon out here, until I saw some purple slashes. So I decided to check it out, but by the time I was getting to the location, we bump into each other.
Khiry: Oh, I see.
Khiry & Astolfo are walking towards Trifas city as Mordred is walking from the Melromarc as she then see us.
Mordred: PARTNER!
Khiry & Astolfo sees Mordred drew her sword & charge at them, only for Khiry to summon two daggers & block the attack.
Khiry: Mordred, wait!
Mordred: Why are you siding with the black servant?!
Khiry: Black servant?
Mordred: Yes!
Astolfo: You didn't know that we fought before?
Khiry broke the clash.
Khiry: I do know that the knight of the round table & the paladins have been establish in the 12th century, but they are in different places.
Mordred: You didn't tell him?
Khiry: Tell me what?
Mordred & Astolfo look at each other, then look back at Khiry.
Mordred: If we tell you how we know each other, you tell us your story.
Astolfo: Yeah, like how did you become a servant.
Khiry: Okay.
Timeskip brought to you by Chibi Astolfo
Khiry, Mordred, & Astolfo are in room #76 as the two of them are telling him about their battle in the holy grail war.
Khiry: Holy Grail War?
Astolfo: Yes. You are right about our history.
Mordred: But we have fought, then work together to try & claim the Holy Grail.
Khiry: What is the Holy Grail? Huh?
Grail Ascension is the feature that lets any Servant beyond their intended maximum level.
Khiry: Look at that, I have never would have guessed that does it.
Astolfo: Anyway, how much of our history do you know?
Khiry: A lot.
Mordred: Now, it is time you tell us your story.
Khiry: Well, where to begin...
Mordred: Before & After the summoning.
Khiry: Okay, I was blind when I pick up a book...
Mordred & Astolfo: You were blind?
Khiry: ....Yes.
Astolfo: How did it happen?
Mordred: We are getting off topic.
Khiry: Then I was summoned by the queen & Merlin...
Mordred: Merlin's here?!
Astolfo: Off topic?
Mordred: Right.
Khiry: I said my class name, registered as a servant, that's it.
Mordred & Astolfo looked stern at Khiry while he just sweatdropped.
Khiry: Problem?
Astolfo: Partner...
Mordred: Could it be...
Mordred & Astolfo: That you are servant to the queen?
Khiry: Eh?
Astolfo: Maybe there is a command spell somewhere on his body.
Mordred: No need. He told me he can't be involve of what I think might happen to his friend.
Astolfo: His friend?
Mordred: Adventure Myne might be plotting against him.
Khiry & Astolfo: Myne?
Khiry: Oh, Princess Malty is Myne for her adventure status.
Astolfo: What is she like?
Khiry: She's a bitch!
Astolfo: Don't you think that was a bit harsh on her?
Khiry: She slept with many men. She makes them satisfy at the end.
Mordred: Disgraceful.
Khiry: It sound like she got pride in her because of her royal status.
Mordred: Well, now why was Merlin there with the queen?
Astolfo: When were you blind?
Khiry: A barrel of chemicals that supposed to fall on Naofumi accidentally fell on me when I save him. Sure, being blind isn't too bad. I kinda ran into the wall a few times, but I have managed.
Mordred: What about bills?
Khiry: Autopay.
Astolfo: What about grocery shopping?
Khiry: With outside & inside help.
Modred: What about the bathroom?
Khiry: ..............Master that.
Mordred: Wow. So, Merlin's magic fix your eyes?
Khiry: Yeah. Not only that, but he also called it "Eyes of Heaven."
Astolfo: Cool.
Khiry: Looks like I got more info on the system.
Each servant has their unique passive skills, their own active skills, & their own Noble Phantasm. Facing others is based on your class on how effective you are: Weak or Resist.
The next screen shows two triangles with a bunch of "???" on each corner with one in the middle. Three "???" glows as "Saber," "Rider", & "Assassin" show as they are place. Saber is on the top corner on the left triangle as Rider is on the top corner on the right triangle & Assassin is on the bottom left corner on the right triangle. "Weak" is color red with the arrow pointing one direction with "Resist" is color blue with the arrow pointing the other direction.
Khiry: I'm "weak" against Rider?
Astolfo: Yes. You see, you deal out double damages my class while I deal half the damage on you.
Khiry: So, I resist half the damage the Rider class dish out?
Astolfo: Yes.
Mordred: What abilities does your Eyes of Heaven have?
Khiry: Well... counters others, disrupt magic, eliminated negative magic, lie detector, enhanced vision, light vision, Optic blast, & see future events.
Mordred: That last one sounds a bit...
Khiry: Overpowered?
Astolfo: Actually, I think it is God's way of helping you.
A vision came into as he sees a huntress who wears beautiful green clothing, clad in verdant green with her cold, sharp eyes containing a beastly glint. Her hair is stretched out long and unkempt, and it is completely lacking in the silkiness that would be found amongst those of noble birth. As one who can be called a beautiful beast in human form, it befits her appearance.
Astolfo: Well, I will take a good night rest. I am heading to my room. Bye-bye.
Astolfo is exit the room as Khiry smiled. Mordred went straight close to his face as he blushed at her cute face.
Mordred: What happened?
Khiry: Well, it is a long story.
((DONE! KHIRY FOUND HIS SECOND PARTNER & KNOW ABOUT THE SERVANT CLASS SYSTEM. MORDRED & ASTOLFO WILL WORK TOGETHER, BUT WHO IS THE THIRD PARTNER? UNTIL THEN, STAY SHOCKING!))
