'Assassin' POV
"Ugh... That bastard got me!"
"Are you okay?" Hachijou asks.
"I'm fine, 'Master'. Just need some time laying on the ground like a gorilla."
"Sorry about Lancer's actions just now. We're really not trying to fight." Hua Jin says.
The pale undead gaze at the Chinese magus's yellow eyes. The magus looks back calculatively and smiles softly.
You definitely had an ulterior motive, but first and foremost....
I get up and do the appropriate action.
"No, tis I who thrust the spear first. Lancer only tried defending you. Therefore, I must apologize for my actions."
"My, such manners! I bet you're raised well back when you're alive." Hua Jin compliments.
Manners... Yeah sure. Whatever you say, magus.
"Anyway, I am 'Assassin' and this is my 'Master', Hachijou Himeno."
"Konnichiwa." Hachijou greets.
"Assassin? Interesting, I'm tempted to say that you're Lancer or Saber, but I have Lancer as my Servant and we just fought Saber and his Master on the way here." Hua Jin says.
Saber? The strongest class? I should press on for more intel.
"You already met Saber?"
"Yes. I'm pretty sure he is a Saber due to him wielding 2 swords." Hua Jin answers.
"Are you sure about that? He could have been an Archer or Rider. Heaven knows it might have happened at some point, right?"
"Hahaha, that's a funny joke, 'Assassin'. Next thing you're going to say that Oda Nobunaga was a woman!" Hua Jin chuckles.
Tis possible that the truth says otherwise.
"Now then, I suppose you all are wondering why I issued the challenge, right?" Hua Jin says.
Me and Hachijou nod.
"It was to gather info. Having the majority of the participants gathering in one place made it easier to keep track of them and I can reap the benefits of eliminating one who had lost if they're battling each other. Unfortunately, such a scenario didn't happen." Hua Jin says with a shrug.
So he did have a plan after all.
"Alas, the only ones that don't show up are Caster, Rider, and their respective Masters. What a shame." Hua Jin states.
Huh? Hang on, Caster and Rider?
"Only Caster and Rider did not show up? What about Archer? Are they here?"
Hua Jin giggles.
"Why yes, he's here. In fact, Archer and his Master are behind that tree." Hua Jin points to the tree 200 m behind me.
"Shit! They saw us!" A voice from the tree shouts.
"Tch, no point hiding! Y'all are going to be mincemeat anyway!" Another voice says.
"Here it comes!"
Bullets and bolts are shot towards our direction. Me and Lancer work our best to deflect them all, but it proves to be quite difficult.
*Thling!*
