Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Legend of The Hammer
"So, that's how I and Kischtaria are now bestfriends." He told Romani as they sat in the infirmary, he had separated from Mash and Kischtaria a few minutes ago and then went to visit Romani, Fou had followed Mash for his weekly bath.
"Hm." Romani smiled happily "It's great that Mash has made new friends like you Zeteo." He smiled like a kind father.
"I don't mind you two bonding and I know this may be rude but, Zeteo, could you please leave the infirmary?" Alice asked Zeteo helplessly as she pointed at the 20 or so Masters trying to huddle into the corner "They've been too terrified of you to move for a while."
"Ah? Me?" He pointed at himself in confusion as Alice nodded.
"I also have something to ask you Zeteo, come with me." Romani said with a bright smile that screamed fake as he pulled Zeteo out the infirmary.
"What is it Doc?" Zeteo asked him as they were outside the infirmary.
"....Zeteo, you probably don't know this but, Mash was born and raised in Chaldea" Romani said "So, if you think Kischtaria is making a move on Mash, please tell me." He said with burning eyes that seemed to scream 'My Daughter can't be touched.'
".....Of course Doc.... I'll definitely stop him! You can believe me!" Zeteo said while his back was soaked with sweat because of how intense Roman's gaze was, he also recalled Mash blushing when talking to him and his terror was multiplied.
[ He doesn't realise he's asking the actual culprit for help, poor Romani ] Aion said with a gloating tone.
'I'm not hitting on her! She's a genuinely nice junior!'
[ Yeah, of course, keep telling yourself that ] Aion said and was ignored.
"I believe you Zeteo! As a fellow nerd! I know we can't get girls so! Please! Protect my Mash!" He said as Zeteo felt his heart slightly crack at the blunt truth.
"....Yeah.." He smiled a smile uglier than crying as he hugged Romani while agreeing as Tom patted his back comfortingly.
"....Men." Alice sighed while shooting Roman an annoyed yet fond glance.
They all conveniently ignored the 20 or so terrified Masters sneaking away from the other side.

"Aion, tell me how many JP did I get?" He asked as he laid on the bed with Tom laying on his own small blanketed bed.
[ Wait, where'd that bed come from?!] Aion asked as Zeteo and Tom looked confused what it meant.
[ You know what, forget it. You somehow got 50 JP from that stunt you pulled. ] Aion said, still not believing that he'd somehow got 50JP.
"Nice! 40 more to go before I do a 10 times draw!" Zeteo said excitedly as he saw that he now has 60JP.
"Come on Aion! Use the ticket I still have left!" He said excitedly as he clicked draw after washing his hands for better luck.
[ Summoning Complete! ]
[ Item: Sleep Tight Hammer! ]
[ Rank: Epic! ]
[ 90% Stun, 200 % Pain and 10% Damage! Use it to throw someone into a deep sleep for a while. If once doesn't work, use it twice! ]
[ Special Feature: Can change size freely ]
[.....HOW?! FIRST TOM AND NOW THIS?! ] Aion asked confused as Ranks were divided into five.
Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic and Legendary from low to high respectively and somehow, Zeteo had gotten Epic and above only in both draws.
"Hell yeah!" He said excited as he pulled out a hammer that was a bit bigger than normal hammers with the head being made of a square at both its end, it had a black and yellow colour scheme with the middle being black and the squares being yellow.
"Now! To the training room!" He said excitedly as he rushed out, Tom still laying lazily on his bed.
"You're coming with me too!" Zeteo said as he reappeared and slung Tom across his neck and disappeared in a burst of white smoke "Meow!"
[ Huh?! How are we here?! ] Aion asked confused as it was sure they were just in Zeteo's room and now they're suddenly standing outside the equipment training room.
The equipment training room is different in the way that it's to learn how to use weapons and the like against puppets/robots made by Da Vinci, a Servant in Chaldea
He happily entered the Training Room with the hammer slung over his shoulder as Tom was walking beside him while yawning.
The room was a large room with a lot of weapons like, Spears, Swords and the like and also firearms in another area, of course the weapons were wooden with the firearms having rubber bullets.
Zeteo walked towards a certain area as he clicked to choose his opponents, 100 Meele robots.
[ Dude, you're seriously using Robots as test subjects ] Aion asked speechless as Zeteo and Tom looked confused "They emulate Humans and react like Humans, why can't I use them as test subjects?" Zeteo asked confused with Tom agreeing with him.
[ Whatever ] Aion said while holding back his laughter, he was so gonna tease Zeteo after he fails.
Looking at the 100 metal robots that held multiple weapons, Zeteo smiled a bright and innocent smile that Tom also mimicked.
For some reason, the robots that were supposed to be emotionless took a step back and trembled.
"Come here Boi!" He said as he ran at the nearest robot with Tom tied around his neck like a scarf, he was going to vent his depression of the truth Romani inflicted on his fragile heart on the Robots.
"AHHH-" A mechanical scream rang out across the entire Training Room followed by many more.

The other Masters in the Training room watched with mute horror as they trembled on hearing the screams as they watched a young boy wearing a blue scarf chase a group of robots who were running away with a giant hammer in his hands as around 30 robots lay behind him, their mechanical faces contorted in horror and pain.
"..... He's a Devil.." A Master muttered in fear as he trembled while watching the smile on Zeteo's face from the sidelines as the other Masters nodded in agreement.
Thus, A New Legend about the 47th Master Candidate was born again on the same day he arrived.
The Hammer Devil
