It was the the next day. It was Thursday and everything seem quiet in the Grafen house.

Makoto: Shit...

The black haired boy had just woken up to find his servant in his bed. Both were fully clothed. They must have both passed out together when they got home. Makoto slowly got out of bed trying to not wake up his servant.

Makoto(head): Well last night was sure wild. Met Lancer and another servant, got to be careful with that guy. Still I kind of got more important stuff to do.

He did some morning stretching before doing his morning routine. Sometime after Saber woke up and smelled the aroma of bacon and eggs in the kitchen. She got out of the bed and walked down the stairs.

Saber: Morning Master.

Makoto: Morning Saber. How are you feeling.

Saber: I'm feeling fine, just a bit sluggish.

Makoto: Well you can get plenty of rest today. I have school and you can't come along.

Saber: Um why not Makoto?

Makoto: Well I don't people freaking out when there is a woman with a sword in my school.

Saber: But-

Makoto: No buts. Look I'll be fine, Yuko will be there and so will Berserker.

Saber: Fine. But if there is any trouble the summon me with your command seal ok?

Makoto: Ok. Now let's eat, I'm starving.

Timeskip

It was lunchtime and Makoto was on the rooftop eating for Yuko. He was currently on his phone and eating lunch while at it.

Makoto: Hmm.

He was looking at the news to see what's going on.

Makoto: Another cult attack. This time they kidnapped and killed 3 people. First the Grail war now this shit.

???: Well reality can be crazy.

Makoto: Yuko.

Yuko: Hay. Eating all by yourself again.

Makoto: Yup.

Yuko; You should make more friends. Anyway I heard what happened last night from Berserker.

Makoto: Yeah, got ambush and Saber got her assed kick. I ran away like a little coward.

Yuko: Sometimes it ok to run.

Makoto: But I don't want to run, I wanna fight. And I can't really do that if I get rekt or scared every time I'm in a battle.

Yuko: I know how you feel. I want to run but I made to choice to stay and fight.

Makoto: Then can you teach me how to fight.

Yuko; I'd be happy to.

Makoto: Thanks. Now for a change of subject, what about the war. We already seen Lancer and Assassin in battle.

Yuko: Yeah, Assassin may have it out for you. We need to learn who their masters are.

Makoto: That sounds hard.

Yuko; Not all the time. Master do travel around with their servants out in the open. This Holy Grail 101 stuff.

Makoto: So basically we need to lure them out.

Yuko: Yeah, but it depends on who takes the bait. Every Master is different but sometimes they make the same mistake. We are human after all.

Makoto: You got that right.

Yuko: Another thing to try to get the advantage on a master or their servant would be to force the Servant to use a Noble Phantasm.

Makoto: What's a Noble Phantasm exactly? I know they short version but what's the long version.

Yuko: It's basically a Servant's ultimate move, you can identify who a servant is when they call it out. Servants are hero's from the past as you know, so if you did your history then you could identify them.

Makoto: So basically if I were fighting say, King Arthur, if I were to make him call out his Noble Phantasm then I would know who he is.

Yuko: If you survive the attack then yes. Noble Phantasms can be quite dangerous so if your trying to force another Servant to use them then you got be careful otherwise your a dead man.

Makoto: Geez. Better be carful then.

Yuko: Same thing could happen to you if your in a pinch.

Makoto: I think I would have figured that out on my own.

Makoto sighed, got up, and walked over to the fence. He was looking over to the city.

Makoto: You ever wonder why we are in this. Why this war is happening. Like there has to be a reason other than just to get a magical goblet that can grant you any wish.

Yuko: I never thought is stuff like that.

Makoto: Anyway now that I'm in this war I'm going need to train. I know a bit of Kendo and did a bit of street brawling but I could get killed in this. Hay Yuko?

Yuko: Yes Makoto-san?

Makoto: Could you teach me how to use magic.

Yuko: Uh of course.

Makoto: Maybe I can have Saber teach me how to defend myself as well since she herself is a swordsman. Or is it swordswoman?

Yuko: I'd go with swordsman.

Makoto: Still thank you.

Yuko: No problem. That's what friends are for right.

Makoto: Yeah, friends.

Makoto looked back at her and smiled.

Makoto: Besides Byakuya and Elise your one of my only friends.

Yuko: Really?

Makoto: Yeah, I'm not really that social and all so it was hard for me to make friends. Byakuya one day approached me and just asked to be his friend and we stuck together. With Elise we were paired up together in activity when we were young and we just became friends. Sure her brother can be a bit annoying but I saw that he does care for her.

Yuko: Huh...

Makoto: Yeah I know. Well know let's get going. Lunch is almost over and we got class.

Yuko: Oh right.

Makoto packed up his bento box and both of them left the roof.
