“It all started during the third Holy Grail War.” Grandpa says to me. “Wait! You are telling me there was a war like this before too?” I ask to Grandpa. “Yes, the third Holy Grail War that took place about 20 years ago.” Grandpa replies to me.

“This Holy Grail War which took place about 20 years ago had a strange twist though, something even I wasn’t capable of comprehending.” Grandpa says to me. “What kind of twist are you talking about Grandpa?” I ask Grandpa.

“Hero, tell me. Were you ever near the verge of death?” Grandpa asks me the question and my eyes widen. The only thing I could think of is how did he know about this? I was at the verge of death when I was summoned as a servant…

“By your expression, I take that you were at the verge of death.” Grandpa says to me in a calm tone. I nod my head pointing a yes towards him.

“That is when your servant powers activated.” Grandpa says to me. “What?!” I looked at him with a confused face. My thoughts were all jumble and I didn’t have any idea about what he was saying.

Grandpa leaves a sigh. “Hero, you are a son of a Master and a Servant.” My ears couldn’t believe it. A son of a Master and a Servant? But how is that even possible? Can a Master and a Servant really bond together?

“To be more accurate, you are a son of a Holy Priestess and a Ruler.” Grandpa says to me. “Wait a minute, what is a ruler?” I ask Grandpa having no idea of what a ruler is. “A ruler and Fuyuki church’s Priest or Priestess depending on who is appointed as a neutral party are the ones who oversees the Holy Grail War.” Grandpa replies to me.

“So what your saying is-“ Grandpa cuts me out. “Yes indeed, your mother was a Priestess and your father was one of the strongest servants and belonged to the most powerful class the ruler.” Grandpa says to me. “What?!” I look at my Grandpa with a confused face.

“Didn’t you find it weird how you easily adapted to the environment around you as a servant and as what you are now?” Grandpa asked me. I realised then he wasn’t wrong. I never felt anything that obligated my expectations. Instead I was comfortable being a servant.

My Grandpa keeps a hand on my head, “Your mother was a great person kid and so was your father and because they protected this world, they died. The Holy Grail, that thing isn’t like people say it is. It is a curse and the worst type of curse. It only brings death and destruction. But because your father and mother died protecting this world and the child they love so much. I named you hero. Someone who will destroy this curse once and for all and save this world from destruction, someone people will be proud of.” Grandpa says to me.

“A hero….” I looked at my Grandpa with a confused face. “Remember, when you were 3 years old? You promised something, didn’t you?” Grandpa asks me and it struck me….That dream I had.

“When you I grow up you wanted me to participate in war for a very special cup…The Holy Grail…You wanted me to win that cup so that I could never let that war happen.” I remembered what Grandpa had said to me.

“Does that answer all of your questions?” Grandpa asks me. “Not all but I do get a jest of it. But this isn’t time to chill and chat.” I reply to Grandpa. “What?!” Grandpa looked confused. “If you say that I am a son of a Priestess and a Servant. Then I will have to destroy the Holy Grail for the sake of everyone. That includes, even people who died due to it.” I replied to Grandpa. Also, the person who killed Eva, that person is going to be ripped to shreds. I will make sure of it.

“Aisha, the incarnation of Hera and Zeus the ultimate Servant and now, they have the strongest Mage and Servant of the world. The battle for the Holy Grail is just beginning. But there is only one thing that worries me…If he meets that person, I don’t think he is ready to take on him.”

Next day, I decided to leave the island to go to Fuyuki. “So your leaving?” Silvia asks me. I smile and reply, “Don’t worry, I will be back.” I reply to her. “You better be back because we are waiting for you.” James says to me. “Yep! I will be back in no time. Don’t worry.” I smile and reply to him.

I see Grandpa coming towards me. “So, you are leaving already?” Grandpa asks me. “I guess I am. I don’t have a choice. I have to win no matter what.” I reply to Grandpa. “I see. Then becareful out there.” Grandpa says to me. “Don’t worry Old Geezer, I will destroy it.” I say to my Grandpa. My Grandpa and me smile at each other as I leave on a boat. “BYE!” We all said to each other.

“Now! It’s time I take revenge for you, Eva!”
