[I'm sorry Dazai, did you want to have a serious talk? Because Bedivere was a bit distracted at the moment.
You see, Bedivere was from a time long, long before modern conveniences. And sure, he knew of greater technology- he had seen the Atlas Institute, after all. But Even knowing that great marvels of technical might existed in the future, Bedivere was still awestruck by it all. He had meant to keep his head down on the way there, but seeing all of the tall buildings and cars and everything in-between was so much for him to take in. He did his best to keep his reaction reserved, as he had to keep from drawing too much attention, but there was still a look of wonder on his face as they traveled through Yokohama.
And in the building, Bedivere allowed himself to become momentarily distracted by one of the large chandeliers hanging down from the ceiling. It was too far to reach, but he was still left wondering how the thing even worked, or if it had a purpose at all beyond decoration. It was Dazai's question that drew him out of those thoughts.]
Ah, yes. The grail war.
[He straightened himself up, tucking away his curiosity for the time being. Dazai wasn't a usual mage, and he hadn't been prepped on any of the details about the grail war. Luckily being summoned gave Bedivere a lot more knowledge about the process, so he could give Dazai the expository information.]
The grail war is a tradition between powerful magus families and their allies. It's a ritual, strictly speaking. Seven Masters summon seven Servants, and those Servants do battle until only one team remains. For that remaining Master and Servant pair, they are able to create the holy grail, which grants the pair one wish each. The grail is a culmination of quite a bit of magical energy, and such a powerful spell would be impossible for one person to attain on their own. So seven agree to it, and use the grail war to decide who reaps the benefits.
Those seven Servants that are summoned are known by their classes, primarily. Since each Servant is based on a legendary hero, if their true names are known, then their weaknesses will be easy to exploit. For that reason, it is probably best if you call me 'Saber' out loud, as that is my class. There will be one servant each of the seven classes: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker. The other six, those are our enemies for the time being. Though, ah, don't hold too much of a grudge against other servants. They are bound to servitude just like I am, regardless of the character of their Master.
Unfortunately, I am not that strong of a Servant, so we will be at a disadvantage. But I will try my best for you, Master.
