Ayato's Apartment.
"Eh, so many people?"
"Yeah, they're from all different worlds?"
"And most of them are members of the martial arts faction?"
Looking at the fellow servants around them, Saeko and the others' eyes lit up.
Could it be...
Was there some big move about to happen?
Being able to become a member of the martial arts faction...
Even leaving aside those murderous types...
They all, more or less, had a strong desire for battle.
"You guessed right."
Ayato clapped his hands. "In the near future, there should be a battle concerning the lives of hundreds of millions of people."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The expressions of Saeko and the others tensed.
Although they were used to big spectacles...
And had even seen someone destroy an entire country in a single battle...
A conflict of this scale was rare.
"The cause of all this is the Khaos Brigade..."
Ayato briefly explained, then continued: "First, nothing can happen to any of the servant bases."
"They must be guarded by sufficiently strong individuals."
Although with resources from various worlds and the help provided by Ayato...
The strength of members at almost every base was constantly growing.
But this time, who knew what the Khaos Brigade would do?
So ordinary Satan-level might not be safe.
"Second, the Khaos Brigade's main target is Tokyo."
"This will likely be the main battlefield."
Tendo Kisara excitedly licked her lips. "Master, you have to count me in for this one."
Saeko then spoke, "Me too. I wonder if there will be any Satans for me to cut down?"
The killing intent... couldn't be controlled anymore.
Seeing this, Utaha and the others all silently stepped back.
"Fine, I'll count you two in."
Ayato smiled slightly. "As for the rest of the arrangements, let's discuss them."
"Of course, besides that, we also need to leave some forces behind, just in case."
Yes, yes.
Esdeath and the others nodded repeatedly, all somewhat excited.
Jujutsu Service Club.
A flash of light.
Ayato appeared with a large group of beautiful women.
Maki, as if equipped with radar, instantly sensed Ayato's arrival.
Her eyes lit up.
Hmph.
He had just left, and now he was back.
This showed that her charm was quite significant, right?
Maki ran downstairs, about to pounce.
Then.
Her expression stiffened slightly.
So many people?
It seemed Master's return wasn't because of her.
And...
They were all so pretty.
Unconsciously, Maki felt a bit gloomy.
Drawn by the sound, Esdeath and the others' gazes naturally fell on Maki.
A little cat eaten by Master?
Sensing her aura, Esdeath and the others' eyes flickered slightly.
This base had just been established, right?
She had climbed into Master's bed so quickly.
It seemed this little girl was no simpleton.
She was probably another sneaky cat.
"Maki, you've come at the right time."
Ayato waved. "These are all fellow servants. Everyone, get to know each other."
"I believe you'll all be staying here for a while."
Hearing this, Esdeath introduced herself. "Esdeath, from the Healing World. If you have any training questions, you can ask me."
Saeko smiled. "Busujima Saeko. Just call me Saeko. We can spar sometime if you'd like."
"Tendo Kisara. Nice to meet you."
"I... I'm Zenin Maki. Nice to meet you all, seniors."
Training Ground.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several figures flashed continuously through the air.
Deafening thuds echoed for a long time.
Esdeath and the others were jointly attacking Ayato.
Ayato's figure flickered, blocking their combined assault.
"Not bad. All of you have improved significantly..."
Ayato flicked his fingers, occasionally sending a bolt of lightning across the sky.
While attacking.
He also commented on each person's strengths and weaknesses.
Most of the servants who came to Tokyo were true battle maniacs and killers.
They were also the most enthusiastic about getting stronger.
Among them.
Esdeath was undoubtedly the strongest.
Even in her normal state, her power had already surpassed that of an ordinary Satan-level.
Her combat prowess directly rivaled Gabriel and a few other strongest servants.
As for the others.
Even with all their abilities unleashed, they were not comparable to ordinary Satans either.
After a few dozen minutes.
Ayato, Esdeath, and the others stopped this practice session.
"You're all very good. With you temporarily guarding Tokyo, I believe there won't be any problems."
Yes, yes.
Esdeath and the others nodded, all crowding around with looks that expected a reward from their master.
Seeing this.
Ayato smiled slightly.
The next moment.
The light of a magic circle flashed.
The training ground was empty.
