🕑 Added 2023-02-15 15:48:49 +0000 UTC-Medea-
The witch explained about the holy grail war to the young man in front of her, she usually wouldn't do this but right now, she was out of options, because she was lacking prana to keep herself from existence, if she doesn't solve this major problem, she would cease out of existence and die even before the 5th holy grail starts.
Not only it would be humiliating, but it also going to would her pride as a heroic spirit, so she needed this young man to be her source of prana so that she wouldn't die, therefore he would be her temporary master and when she found a better one, she wouldn't hesitate to leave this young man.
The surprise on the young man's face when she explained the details about the holy grail war, was as she expected, after all, he was an ordinary human without any knowledge of the moonlit world.
Not to mention, knowing that there's a wish granting device that could literally grant anything you desire, anyone would be interested in that.
Even though she wasn't an exception, in the first place that very wish is the reason why she's in this war, because this was a chance, a chance for having a normal and peaceful life without the Gods interfering with her fate.
Suddenly her mood fell as she thought of the Gods, she hated them with every fiber of her being, for they manipulated her life, her fate, having her live a tragic life filled with hatred and betrayal.
That's why she must win this war, no matter what the cost, for a second chance in life.
"I know it seems unbelievable, but believe me, what I said about the holy grail is true," Medea said.
"I believe you." The young man replied
Medea couldn't help but blink at his reply, she was totally expecting him not to believe, as she already thought of a scenario where she dealt with it, however, this was a bit unexpected on her part.
He believed her just like that?
Suspicious, she narrowed her eyes toward the young man, looking for deception on his face, but she saw none, which made her recoil in surprise.
Maybe this person is just open with things, either way, it's nothing too important, honestly, it's a relief that she doesn't need to bother showing proof, this is going to make her job easier.
Now, it's time to manipulate him to become her master, what she's going to do is exploit his kindness by acting pitiful-
"How do I become your master then?"
Eh..?
Medea's eyes widened at that, she did not anticipate this at all. "W-what?"
"Did you not hear me the first time? Oh, well I suppose I'll repeat it. How do I become your master?" He said with conviction.
Medea was left speechless for a bit, before snapping out of it, and her mind started thinking of the possible possibility of why he wanted to become her master and then after a moment, she thought of the most likely possibility of why he wanted to become her master.
And it made her scowl, of course, it made sense why he wanted to become a master, it was having a chance of getting his wish.
She thought of him as a naive and kind person, but supposedly he isn't as greedy as well, however, she can't really blame him, a device that could realize your greatest wish and desire is waiting for you to take.
Almost no one could resist that, men are the same no matter what the era is, why was she expecting things differently anyway?
She should have anticipated this, the scowl left her face and was replaced by a blank look. "I see, so you wanted the grail to grant your wish."
The young man suddenly tilted his head at her and replied. "Who said anything about me wanting a wish from this wish-granting device called the holy grail, I don't need that. I wanted to become your master so that I could help you recover is it that hard to believe?"
W-what?! He said that he didn't want the wish from the grail. Impossible! There's no way that's true!
He lie, there's no way someone would be able to resist that kind of temptation. Medea fiercely scowled at the thought of being lied to.
"You lie."
"No, not really." He denied while shaking his head.
Medea let out an angry huff and replied. "Fine, let's say that I believe you."
"But I am telling you the truth though.." He said with a weary smile.
The nerve of this man…anyway it doesn't matter, she needed him right now, she could deal with his lies later.
"Alright, give me your hand," Medea demanded.
And so he did.
—
"W-what is this?!" Medea couldn't stop herself from screaming in disbelief and shock at what she learned, it was a good thing that the streets were currently without people aside from them, or else they would flinch at how loud she's screaming, however right now she couldn't care less about that!
The reason for her shock and disbelief isn't because of a failure of an unsuccessful attempt of making this young man her master, but because this random man had a freaking magic core!
A normal person doesn't have that kind of thing, only those who are part divine or phantasm could have something like a magic core!
The fact that this seemingly random person that she met in the streets had one, was like learning Zues became faithful to his wife Hera and stopped being a womanizer.
Because it's impossible!
"How could someone like you have a magic core?!" Medea shouted in disbelief.
The young man looked at her offended by her words and replied. "Someone like that me? Is it really that unbelievable?"
"Yes!" Medea answered without hesitation.
"Ouch, that's harsh, anyway it doesn't really matter so what if I have one? It's like it's anything important, anyway, did it help you get prana?" He asked.
Yes, in fact, he gave her too much prana by Zues mighty beard!
Also, what does he mean by nothing important?! A magic core is something a mage like her would kill for without hesitation just to have it!
The audacity of this man saying that a magic core is nothing important! If she didn't have better control of her emotions she would have screamed at him for saying such nonsense.
To be fair it took every fiber of her being not to scold and scream at this young man, who is now her master for saying such a thing.
Medea forcefully calmed herself, after taking a few deep breaths, somehow she managed to calm herself, barely.
"A magic core isn't just important, master it's a priceless thing for a mage like me, anyone who is a mage like me would be willing to cause genocide just to have the thing you unimportant…" Medea swore that she had never been bitter in her entire life, how could someone like him have a magic core?
If only she had it, maybe her life would have been different…
Shaking her head, it was pointless thinking about the past, only the future where she could hope for a better life without being controlled by the Gods.
Anyway, she had to think positively, no need to be bitter by the fact that a random man that she met by pure coincidence had something every mage desired: a magic core.
A generator that is capable of generating a massive if not limitless amount of prana.
Medea had to use this as an advantage, with a master that is capable of giving her a limitless amount of prana, she had a very high chance of winning the war.
She became determined, at first she thought of him as nothing but a temporary battery, however, his magic core changed everything.
To a servant like her, this young man is the perfect master, for he had limitless prana to give, now all she needs is preparation.
"Oh, right I almost forgot to ask, what's your name anyway?" Her master asked.
Medea frowned and replied. "Caster, call me Caster."
"But that's your class-"
"Exactly, I won't tell you my name because it's vital, if the enemy master gets to know my name, they may take advantage of it, that's why you are calling me by my class and not my name, however, if you really want to know my name then feel free to use the command steal in your hand." Medea pointed out with a blank look.
She doesn't really like to be reminded that she's being controlled by such a thing, but it can't be helped, it's part of their bond, and without it their relationship as a master and servant is non-existent.
"Oh, I didn't have this…command seal before, what does this do anyway? From its name I could already guess what it does, however, I need your confirmation." Her master said.
Medea let out a
sigh and thought. 'Right, I haven't explained about the command seal.'
Then she started explaining about what it could do.

Hito: "By my name Tadano Hitohito, I order you with my command spell to have seggs with me!"
A/N: Yes, because that's totally what I'm going to do, and I'm aware of how much of a degenerate I am! xD.
