The Greatest Holy Grail War

Chapter 5: "A leader and first enemy."

A few hours earlier with team white.

"So now that we have our servants, who is going to be the leader of our team?" Thomas asked, although most of his friends in the room were still in some form of shock once everything had settled in.

"I just can't believe that it's real." Laura said while leaning back and staring at the ceiling.

"For once I agree with you." Arron said. Laura and Arron don't usually get along as they did things very differently but this was one of the rare occasions where they did agree.

"This..." Jayden started and went quiet while the rest looked at him worriedly, he started shaking and Yuko was going to move over to him when he pushed his fists in the air with a big smile on his face. "This is so cool! Can you believe it?! Yeah it's weird that magic is real" Thomas muttered a quick 'magecraft' as Jayden continued. "But if we win this thing we get any wish that we want! Do you know what that means? We could live lives of luxury! No need to worry about not having enough money, or not having enough food for the family, it would be great!" He lay down on his back, arms above his head, eyes closed and a smile on his face.

The rest of them knew that money would be a waste of wish, but Jayden always thought about simple things. If he thought something was cool, it was. If it was bad, it was.

Yuko and Mari also knew that his family struggled with money, and he worried about it constantly, but he could never manage to get a job and his mother wouldn't let him get one anyways. So it would make sense why money would be at the top of the list of wishes, he cared about his family and friends above all else.

"It's a simple wish but I guess, whatever makes you happy." Evelyn said.

Jayden nodded his head before he sat up and spoke again. "Oh, did you guys notice we can check the stats of servants."

Everyone looked at him confused, they could do that?

"How can you do it?" Mari asked, she wanted to know how strong her robot servant was. Although he said his species was an exo.

"Hmm, I just stared hard at my servant. Although now that I think about it, it's weird to call them servants. But assassin said it would be a bad idea to reveal their true names... something about it being a weakness." Jayden informed them. His servant also went out saying he was going to explore where he was.

"I'll try that later." Yuko said, thankful for the information. She doubted saber would be willing to reveal anything to her.

"Stop! We're getting off topic. Who is going to be the leader?" Thomas shouted. How did they get distracted so easily?

"It'll be me and lancer, of course." Arron said while pointing a thumb at himself.

"No. It'll be archer of course. He is a robot, or an exo, he'll probably be really smart. He is a robot after all." Mari argued.

"Well, I don't want to be a leader and I don't think it's a good idea for a berserker to be a leader." Evelyn said, stepping down from the position.

"I don't saber would be a good leader. He seems more like a tyrant." Yuko informed them, also stepping down from the position with that sentence.

Laura let out a sigh. "As much as I want to be the leader, rider doesn't seem to have much social skills. So I'll step down."

"Caster would be the best option. He lead a country from what he told me, and he knows a lot about magecraft." Thomas said, promoting his servant to be the leader.

"Hmm, I think assassin would be a good choice." Everyone looked at Jayden like he grew two heads. "Apparently no other class fit him so assassin was the only option, but from what I saw from his stats he lead thousands into battle and won."
