Chapter 6: I Summon Myself?
Although Bai Song was initially very confident in Tom's combat power, he hasn't witnessed any battles firsthand, except for beating Ryuunosuke.
Moreover, as shown in the animation, Tom's combat power is extremely unstable. He always has the upper hand throughout the entire fight, but in the end, Jerry ends up winning.
There are many cases like this, quite the opposite, in fact.
For Bai Song, learning that Tom can defeat ghost is undoubtedly very good news.
Upon entering the house, Bai Song immediately noticed a strong musty smell. The whole house seemed somewhat damp, and even the wooden floor in the entrance had a large hole, almost the size of a bowl.
Considering that this old house hadn't been inhabited for at least twenty years, this situation was already considered quite good.
Bai Song didn't have any complaints about the house. If you were to ask why, it could only be said that compared to the dormitory Bai Song lived in during high school, this house was much better.
That kind of living environment that made dogs shed tears and made Liu Yuxi delete the poem "Lou Shi Ming" after seeing it, Bai Song lived in it for a full three years.
Even today, Bai Song still remembers the first time he entered the dormitory and found someone had written "Thank you" on the corridor, which was terrifying.
Compared to the dormitory in high school, this old house, which was far superior in terms of living conditions, was naturally not disliked by Bai Song at all.
After tidying up the living room a bit and clearing a place to settle down, Bai Song sat on the floor and took out a flashlight, a local map, and a comic book from the plastic bag he had been carrying.
Tonight, Bai Song didn't plan on sleeping too early. Instead, he intended to study the map and roughly determine the locations of the other Masters, relying on his memories from watching anime to make educated guesses.
As for the comic book, it was for Tom's entertainment. In case there was another ghostly incident, Tom would be the only one capable of fighting. So Tom absolutely couldn't fall asleep.
Besides, the Holy Grail War also starts at night. It would be best to let Tom sleep during the day. If Tom starts feeling drowsy at night, then it would be disastrous. Bai Song was well aware that Tom's drowsiness couldn't be suppressed. Instead of letting Tom doze off without anything to do, it would be better to find something for him to pass the time.
By tomorrow morning, Bai Song planned to go out and visit various key locations, such as the Matou household, the Tohsaka household, and the Emiya residence.
As is well known, in a Holy Grail War, excluding the Great Holy Grail War in Romania, the Fifth Holy Grail War, the American Holy Grail War... and a bunch of exceptions, usually, it consists of seven Masters and seven Servants.
And he probably occupies one of the Master positions. Afterward, he still needs to observe how many Masters there are in this Holy Grail War.
The possibility that the Fourth Holy Grail War had also turned out to be an abnormal Holy Grail War, with himself as an additional Master, could not be ruled out, and, to be honest, Bai Song felt that this was more likely.
The reason was that his own follower Tom's job title was not one of the seven Servant classes, but a separate 'tom' Servant classes, and the ability values were simply all question marks.
So most likely there would be eight masters this time, with myself as the extra one, but there was no need to think too much about it now, the number of masters would always be clarified later, what was more important now was the investigation during the day.
And Fuyuki City was only a small city, it wouldn't be difficult to find these places in a day's time, not to mention that it was with a map, it was simply a matter of having feet.
In the meantime, he'd have to take advantage of the little time he had this evening to do some good work on what he was going to do next, and on that panel.
While Bai Song stayed up late looking at the map, a young boy named Waver confirmed that both elderly people in his family were asleep before sneaking out of the house.
The Command Seals on the back of his right hand indicated that he was also one of the chosen participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War. Once he summons his Servant, the Command Seals will transform into Command Spells. Unlike wealthy individuals like Kiritsugu and Tokiomi, Weber didn't use mercury for his summoning circle; he simply used a few random chickens and planned to use their blood to draw the summoning circle.
Compared to others, Waver's summoning circle seemed a bit shabby. However, for Waver, who had borrowed money from his classmates for the travel expenses to Japan, being able to participate in the war was already good enough. What more could he ask for?
After placing the Holy Relic he had stolen from his teacher in front of the summoning circle, Waver nervously stretched out his right hand and began his summoning ritual...
"Let thy body rest under my dominion, let my fate rest in thy blade."
"If thou submitteth to the call of the Holy Grail, and if thou wilt obey this mind, this reason, then thou shalt respond."
"I make my oath here. I am that person who is to become the virtue of all Heaven. I am that person who is covered with the evil of all Hades"
"Thou seven heavens, clad in a trinity of words, come past they(?) restraining rings, and be thou the hands that protect the balance.""
After the final chant, a brief but dazzling light erupted from the summoning circle. When the light dissipated, two figures appeared within the summoning circle.
"Huh?" Looking at the summoned Servants, Weber couldn't maintain his balance and ended up sitting on the ground, staring blankly at the two figures in the summoning circle. "Two... Servants?"
This was different from what he had read in the books. If he remembered correctly, a Master should only have one Servant, right?"
In the summoning circle, there were two men, one tall and one short. The shorter one was dressed in red attire with a matching cape, but the only downside was that he was really short, around 5'1" or so, and had a face that resembled a young boy. Well, to be fair, Waver himself was only 5'2".
As for the other one... it was a bit outrageous. He was dressed in a modern-style suit, even holding a cigar in his right hand. Weber really wanted to comment on whether this was truly a Servant, but it didn't seem like the right atmosphere to say such things.
"I am the son of Zeus, Alexander, or you can call me Alexander the Third. You must be my Master, right?" The young boy in red opened his arms first and boldly said to Waver.
"Seems like it...," although Weber was confused about summoning two Servants, he still nodded. "My name is Waver Velvet."
Afterward, Weber looked at the tall man in the outrageous suit and asked, "And you? Are you also a Servant?"
The tall man in the suit stared at Weber with an incredulous expression upon being summoned. It wasn't until Weber asked that he adjusted his mindset and coughed slightly. "Excuse me."
"Yes, I am indeed a Servant. My name is Zhuge Kongming."
