FujiwaraPhoenix — Roleplayer Guild

Zelretch glanced around the room as each of the Masters entered, chuckling lightly to himself as Athena entered the room. In a group full of egotistical magi, it was quite strange to have a child running around so energetically... But given their upbringing, it was a bit of a reasonable choice. Shame they couldn't have waited a few more years for that mental state of hers to mature, sadly, but maybe that sort of attitude would do well to keep the boundless narcissism in this room in check.

Like the sort that was causing such a petty argument in the corner over there over a simple mistake. Sighing, Zelretch cleared his throat and looked at everyone to make sure they were paying attention to him at that moment.

"In any case, it seems as if everyone has arrived. Now, I know what you're all thinking: that this will be a Grail War not unlike those in ages past, where you are all busy setting up traps and schemes and trying to kill your competitors.
Let me tell you right now: if you take on this mission with that sort of mindset, you will die. This is a trial that spans multiple timelines, each with their own challenges and dangers. With each Grail that exists, there is a singularity that threatens to disrupt the flow of space-time.
You are not enemies here--you are allies that must cooperate to obtain the Grails that lie at the center of each issue, and I recommend you do so without grappling at each other's throats, else you lose an ally to tackle the next challenge with. Likewise, I recommend you try not to keep secrets from your partners, and I do not just mean your Servants.
That being said, I know I cannot change your mind simply by speaking, so I shall simply let you summon your Servants now. If there is any risk of fighting in this room, I will use my own power to handle the problem, but only this once so that you may preserve your Command Seals. There are better places for you to settle your disputes, especially at a time like this. I'm fairly certain you have the incantation memorized, else I would be... Disappointed. Once you are done, go eat and meet me on the seventh floor."

Kumozaki Keisuke

Keisuke smiled weakly at the Wizard Marshal's lecture; given what had just happened, all of that was understandable. Having been looked down upon by people with egos that would crush any normal man, something like that coming from the man who was at the top of it all was a bit cathartic. Maybe that lecture would mean something to the ones he was to be working with; he saw one of the more experienced Enforcers here, too, which was nice; at least one familiar face meant one less worrisome individual in the long run.

But something like that could wait. For now, he had to summon a Servant. Taking a deep breath, Keisuke recalled the incantation and slowly began to speak.

"Let silver and steel be the essence.
Let stone and the archduke of contracts be the foundation..."

As he continued chanting, the circle began to glow brighter and brighter. Even without taking his eyes directly off of the circle he was focused on, though, the other circles also began to glow from their own usage. Smoke was beginning to form on the edges now, and it already seemed like mana was taking form in the center of his own circle.

"You, seven heavens clad in three words of power, arrive from the ring of deterrence, O keeper of the balance ―――！"

Immediately, the cloud of smoke flared up, obscuring Keisuke's sight from all directions. Instinctively holding his arm over his mouth, the Enforcer used his other hand to try and wave it away, in some hope that he would be able to see something through it all.

"...Did it work?"
