Investigate the Port Ruin

The hostile lifeform has been removed. Let's move on.

I didn't know what would happen with that monster, but I expected nothing less of a Servant's body. Such power.

Not that it makes them look any less scary... By the way Director, I have a question for you.

The Fuyuki in our data, and this Fuyuki are just too different.

What happened in this city, exactly? What are your thoughts, Director?

Let's see, history must've been slightly disrupted. That's the only reason I can think of.

Mash, Fujimaru. I'm only going to say this once, so listen up.

Chaldea observes the future through an Earth model called Chaldeas. At the same time, a familiar called Laplace compiles past records.

You can say it is Laplace's job to gather data on history that wasn't made public, and information that was buried in darkness that no one knows.

According to Laplace's observations, an unusual Holy Grail War was confirmed in this city in 2004.

Holy Grail War? You mean the Holy Grail from the legend?

The magical chalice that is the root of all magecraft, the one that is said to grant its holder's wishes?

Yes, that's the one.

Mages in Fuyuki City competed for the Grail, and in order to activate it summoned seven Heroic Spirits

That was the beginning of the Holy Grail War. Unknown to anyone, Servants were summoned to this town.

The Fuyuki Holy Grail War system is simple.

Seven Masters fight each other. The last one standing gets the Grail.

Chaldea learned about this in 2010. My father... I mean, the previous director used this data to build the summoning system.

That's what makes up Chaldea's Heroic Spirit Summoning System, Fate. Our third invention after Laplace and Chaldeas.

Third? Isn't that the Near-Future Observation Lens, Sheba?

That was created by Professor Lev. Well, I guess you can say we both worked on it.

Anyway, this is where Servants come from.

Seven Servants fought here, and in the end, Saber was victorious.

The town wasn't destroyed, and the Servants shouldn't have been noticed by anyone, but...

Now this is happening. We should assume that the outcome changed due to this Singularity.

The anomaly in 2004 brought about an alteration to human history and as a result, we're no longer able to see 100 years into the future.

That's why it's our job to repair this anomaly. Somewhere here is the reason history has been disturbed.

Once we analyze and eliminate it, that will complete our mission. All of us will be able to return to the present.

Anyway, although we're not sure what's going on, it's good that the mission is simple.

Of course. But it didn't go well, and there weren't many successes.

According to the data, three were summoned, but I only know of two.

The previous director summoned the first. The second and third arrived after I became Director.

...The second fused with Mash. And, well, you know the third.

The weirdo that now lives in Chaldea. Leonardo da Vinci.

？！

GuOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Not these guys again! Get rid of them, Mash, Fujimaru!

...Phew, the battle is over Master. I'm relieved that we pulled through again.

？！

...Yes. I am happy that I can be useful.

...Hey, Mash. Is it possible that you can't use your Noble Phantasm?

Apparently. I don't even know which Heroic Spirit fused with me...

...and I'm unable to use the power of its Special Arts, the Heroic Spirit's secret weaponknown as a Noble Phantasm.

Fujimaru Senpai. I'm sorry for explaining this so late.

Servants are equipped with a unique skill called a Noble Phantasm.

It's derived from each hero's legend and great deeds, and is a secret weapon.

However, I am unable to wield my Noble Phantasm.

...I can somehow use it as a weapon, but its output is decreased. I can't even release its True Name.

In fact, I don't even know what the origins of this weapon of mine might be.

...

In any case, you can think of me as a failed Servant. Or maybe just a capable kouhai that can get even stronger.

I don't have any leads on the Heroic Spirit that fused with me, but with you as my Master I will figure it out as I grow.

That's true. Masters have the ability to analyze their Servants parameters, skills, and matrixes.

Fujimaru... As a Master, once you become good enough, you should be able to analyze Mash's Servant data.

Any Servants you make a contract with from this point should be the same. First, you need to learn their True Name and Noble Phantasm.

As your trust with them grows, your Servant's power will grow too.

Well, it's not like you have that much potential in you. The fact that you can't use Mash that well shows that.

Once we get Chaldea's Rayshift capability back online, we're going to shift a first-class Master here.

Then you're fired. Newbies with no combat experience can spend their time terrified in some corner in Chaldea.

I wasn't! Not in the least! You should be respectful to your elders!

O-Of course! You're our only fighting force here! If you get taken out, who's going to fight?

？！

...Anyway, I'm glad you two understand each other better now. Let's move before any more of them show up.
