Servant of the Sword, Saber. Amongst the Knight Classes, the one regarded the strongest. Yuriko couldn't help but draw a smile in amazement, being left speechless when fazed with the reality presented in front of her. Part of her could not believe the sheer luck she had had, as this development would certainly make her chances of winning skyrocket. However, what left her truly stunned was her Servant's appearance. To put it bluntly, Yuriko found her beauty to be out of this world. Combined with her mannerisms and stellar wardrobe, Saber was the carbon copy of a chivalrous knight from a fantasy tale. She introduced herself as the Swan Knight Odette. Sekimoto Yuriko was the kind of person who both knew how to use words as a weapon and was adept at reading between lines. It was safe to say that Saber was hiding her true name under some kind of alias, but she had no reason to pry any further. Knowing the legends, it was probably in her best interest not to do so.

Saber was being so polite that the blonde Magus had to quickly improvise to put them or equal ground, or else she might just faint from sheer giddiness. To be honest, a large chunk of magical energy had just left her body, and she was beginning to feel the toll behind the summoning. Though the exhaustion she felt was nowhere near extreme, at times she felt as if her legs were ready to give in the moment she dared to lower her guard.

At this point, it was merely a formality, since she had already been recognized as such, but Yuriko still went ahead and showed Saber the proof that she was indeed her Master. Engraved on the back of her left hand were three markings, which came together to form the image of what appeared to be a festive mask, the kind you would see in a masquerade ball.

Masters and Servants were in this as a pair. In other words, teamwork played a big factor in determining victory. Yuriko was confident in her abilities, but there was no way for her to win this war on her own. If that's the case, then it was mandatory for them to get to know each other on a more intimate level. Careful not to step on any pitfalls along the way, Yuriko would aim towards this objective, moving forward one step at a time.
