*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* *Tap* “*Sigh* Why do I have to get up so early?” I question as I get up. “It’s because you have school my Master.” Assassin says to me. “Don’t be my mother now.” I say to Assassin as I get off the bed. I brush my teeth, take a bath and get ready for school. Before I leave I have a good cup of tea.

“Master, who do you think killed that girl?” Assassin asks me as we look at Evangeline’s picture on the table. “I have no idea…But the way she was killed. That was just…” I look away. “I understand Master.” Assassin responds to my feelings.

“It’s not only Evangeline though. Since the Holy War has started, 3 women have been killed in the same way and it has been 3 days and today day number 4 starts. Meaning….” Assassin interrupts me, “A Servant or a Master will be looking for their next target today.” Assassin says to me. “Indeed Assassin. Today, they shall strike again and this time…I will make sure to take care of them.” I say to Assassin. “I see Master.” Assassin says.

“Master, I think it is time we start moving to the school.” Assassin says to me. “Hmm.” I nod. We finally make it to the school safely. But something was odd. As soon as I stepped into the school…I felt a strong energy surging around. “WHAT?!” I exclaimed with a shock.

“Very strange indeed, this much mana…A servant is around.” Assassin says to me. “Stay on your guard Assassin, remember Lancer right?” I ask Assassin. “Yes, Hector. He was quite reckless and attacked that other nameless Servant without thinking about the casualties.” Assassin replied.

We start moving inside the school. “Rin-Neesan!” It was Sakura’s voice. She called me from my back. “Let’s walk in together.” Sakura says to me. Sakura says to me. Everything seemed alright. We were talking to each other like we casually do like sisters until he arrives.

He! None other than the same servant that Assassin killed, the same servant was standing in front of the school carrying his backpack on his back. Holding it with one hand and the other hand in his pocket but unlike his serious look, he was giving a huge grin. A grin so menacing that it sent chilled down my spine.

“I finally made it and I see that Assassin is here too.” He says. Sakura looks at him all confused. “What? Assassin?” She asks having no clue what he was talking about. “Akira what are you talking about?” Sakura asks that guy. He looks at Sakura with a smile. “Nothing, I just saw a cool Ninja movie yesterday and thought about Assassins. They are really cool.” He says. “Tsch!” I could see Assassin getting impatient to know how he actually was alive and so was I.

He begins to walk to inside the school building. “Sakura, you know that guy?” I ask Sakura. “Yes, Neesan! He is from the same class as I.” She replies to me. “But he was absent for two days without any news or anything. It was weird for him to appear out of nowhere just after Eva’s death.” Sakura continued. I take another glance towards Akira. How can he survive was the big question.

Hero’s POV,

During lunch I make my way towards the rooftop. I remove my notebook and start drawing the sources I heard and gathered from the other students.

Through them there were at least 3 more girls murdered in the same way as Eva. Henceforth, I can draw the conclusion that another murder might take place today.

Another interesting thing is that they say that the murder always took place during the time period 6 to 9 at night. So the killer always looks for their prey at night.

I can draw three possibilities with these events. Number 1, the Killer is a psychotic man who has thirst for woman. Number 2, the Killer is a Master of the Servant or vice versa and Number 3, the Killer could be both the Master and the Servant.

The only two scenario’s I think that are most probable are number 2 and number 3 as the killing started as soon as the Holy Grail War started or else it could also be a coincidence and number 1 which is the less likely can be a possibility. Meaning… “HEY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT HERE?! DON’T YOU KNOW SCHOOL IS OVER?!” Someone interrupts me.

I look to my left and it was Miyuki, she was our Class President. “Yeah, yeah, I was just reading something. I was about to leave anyways” I say to Miyuki as I begin to leave. I didn’t realise while I was mumble jumbling with my theories it already had been 6 in the evening. The time when the killer strike has closed in on me.

If one of the servants is the killer who is it? It has to be one I haven’t met right? Or does it? I mean Berserker is a woman herself…Why would she do that? And same goes for Assassin. Lancer didn’t give me that vibe. I mean yeah he was kinda a nutshell but he still didn’t seem like a type to rape and kill. Who knows?

Then there are servants I haven’t met yet. Caster, Saber, Rider and Archer, I will find Eva’s killer at any cost. No matter what it takes!

Rin’s POV,

“Hello there, Rin Tohsaka.” A good looking man with glasses bows. I see that Lancer is besides him. “You are from another school, aren’t you?” I ask that man. “Yes indeed, my name is Haruko Basha. The Master of Lancer and I am here to eliminate Assassin. If you would not put on a fight it will be much appreciated Rin Tohsaka.’” The man says to me.

“Like hell I would accept such a request.” I say to Haruko. “*Sigh* I guessed as much.” Haruko straightens his glasses. “Guess, I will have to get serious then.” He says. “LANCER! GO GET THEM!” He commands Lancer. Lancer begins to rush us. “Assassin!” I give Assassin her signal.

Assassin rushes Lancer. *Ting* Assassin’s Spear and Lancer’s Spear clash. *Ting* *Ting* *Ting* *Ting* Clashes begin to go at unnatural speed. Both Assassin’s and Lancer’s Spear clash and stop. “You are good Lancer! A very formidable opponent!” Assassin says to Lancer. “I will say the same to you Assassin.” Lancer smiled.

Assassin jumps in the air and Lancer stays on the ground. Assassin throws her spear towards Lancer and so does Lancer. It isn’t their noble phantasm but still it goes so fast that the clash causes a huge explosion in midair.

“*Cough* *Cough* *Cough* Damn! This is a high scale battle.” Haruko says. As the smoke cleared both the servants seemed just fine, nothing at all had happened to them.

“Huh?! Got it!” It seemed Haruko was talking to someone. “Our time here is done Lancer. It’s time we start moving. Also, our battle isn’t over yet, Rin Tohsaka.” With those words Haruko left with Lancer. “Let’s follow them-“ I interrupt Assassin. “Let them be, this isn’t our big concern remember?” I ask Assassin. “Yes Master.” Assassin replied.
