It was currently night. I put up a bounded field around us so that sound and magic didn't leak out and wake up the temple inhabitants.

Currently, I was Preparing for the war and Shirone was training. Since I was a caster class I was specialized in magic so I need to make as many preparations as possible.

"......a war... 14 people?.....how?" Little Shirone was currently doing push-ups in gym clothes on the ground of the temple while I continued experimenting, preparing, and explaining our current situation.

"Well, it is called a holy grail war. I don't know why it's called a war. It could be called a tournament instead but for some reason, the creators of the holy grail decided to call it a war anyway.."

"...and one wish?..."

"The winning pair is given one wish each. Or at least it is supposed to. The holy grail is corrupted unfortunately and I'll have to clean it up before it can be used without turning every wish into mass destruction."

".....?"

Sensing Shirone's questioning gaze I replied. "Imagine If wished to be the most beautiful. Instead of making you beautiful It would make everyone else uglier so technically your wish is fulfilled. If you wished for world peace then It would commit genocide and since no one would be left to fight anymore it would have technically granted your wish."

Shirone's face turned green.

"I know. That's why if we do win the war I have to purify it first before we can make our wish.

"Anyway, it looks like its getting easier for you so here you go." As I cast my magic a magic circle appeared under Shirone Increasing the gravity from 4x to 6x. Shirone's face turned from green to a horrifying shade of white as she began to struggle under the load.

"......why?...." She mewled sounding betrayed.

"I'm sorry, but we are going to be fighting against Legendary heroes who have been brought back to life. So it's best if we prepare. If it makes you feel any better if you can manage to reach and complete your exercises in 10x gravity I'll get you 10 boxes of Pizza, what do you say?" Shirone's eye sparkled at the mention of pizza and increased her speed with more vigor.

"....20...."

"Alright, 20 boxes of pizza." with that she quickened her pace even further as I continued trying different experiments. Hmmm, I wonder if I can make a magic Kamehameha?

That night Pizza hut got an order for 22 boxes of Pizzas to Ryuudou temple. The manager wondered why would a temple want 22 pizzas?

A few minutes before that a young Shirou saw a Blue beam of light extending from the mountain? Was that a shooting star? He closed his eyes and made a wish.
