As Harrison's vision returned to him like a semi-truck slamming into his chest he quickly took note of his surroundings. Jalter was shaking him with panic evident on her face, yet everything else looked the same as he left it... except for the break timer. As Harrison's eyes looked it over quickly his world started to fade to white as he was forcibly teleported again. Jessica was the master's name, at least that is what Harrison thought as he was teleported to the arena. The area he was spawned into with Jalter was a dense forest, what was weird about it though was the lack of shrubbery outside of the trees. This made the area a perfectly flat area with essentially tons of easy cover to climb and make use of. Rather predictable a screen flew in front of Harrison's face, however unlike last time he turned to Jalter who was also observing her surroundings. So much had happened within the span of a few seconds that Harrison needed to take the time to absorb it and process it. 'I was woken up a few moments before being teleported to the match with the master Jessica I believe' Harrison told himself organizing his thoughts.

"Jalter we should have more of a plan this time," Harrison said ignoring the flashing screen he had pushed to the side. "I agree this area is perfect for having Servant and Master separated, and not that you can't stand on your own it is just that you typically come back quite injured and I don't know if we will have another time for a break," Jalter said pretty understandably. "So how about that, try not to get split up, we will fight together," Harrison said pumping his fist. However, as the words left his mouth he couldn't help but feel that was definitely not going to happen. Jalter did nod in response indicating she understood Righter as she readied herself. It was at this moment Harrison finally looked at the screen flashing red before him. 

"TIME LIMIT TO ACCEPT BET 0:02 AUTO ACCEPT IF NOT RECEIVED BY TIMER

CURRENT BET 6 COMMAND SEALS"

"FUCK!" Harrison exclaimed as he tried to slam the decline button on the screen yet his finger passed right through where the screen was, as the auto-accept went through. Harrison looked to Jalter who was beside him, "We absolutely cannot lose now," he said with new conviction in his voice. With a bet that large if he lost he would lose his contract with Jalter and she would essentially die. Harrison refused to let anything of the sort occur. Jalter couldn't help but smile as she felt Harrison's conviction and determination as the sky above them lit ablaze with blue fire in the shape of a five. Both of them were familiar with the ordeal by now and they patiently waited for the count to strike zero. 

It was as if the world slowed to a grinding halt suddenly in Harrison's eyes. The wind blew quickly through the tree tops and once again he seemed hyper-aware of himself. Unlike the last few matches, he wouldn't save anything for later if they were watching him there was nothing left to hide. He had to go all out and would go all out if he had to. With a deep breath lines of blueish-green energy traced along this skin, as he activated 5 percent of the magic circuits within himself. "Ad Astra," Harrison said to himself as power-infused his being. It was at this point that the clock struck zero signaling the beginning of the match. 


Then everything went wrong.
