Chapter 48: Definitely...

To better grasp a Servant's performance, a Master usually needs to visually confirm the Servant's abilities.

The above are the numerical values that manifest after a Servant's performance is datafied. As Mashu said, any Master can confirm them.

Among them, "Alignment" indicates the camp the Servant leans towards. "Strength," "Endurance," "Agility," "Mana," "Luck," and "Noble Phantasm" are self-explanatory, representing the Servant's physical strength, damage resistance, speed of body and reaction, amount of mana manipulation, luck, and the strength of their Noble Phantasm, respectively. Like the Noble Phantasm's rank, they are generally divided into five ranks: A, B, C, D, and E. The highest rank is A, the lowest is E, and "Ex" is beyond the standard. They also have multipliers like "+".

As for Class Skills and Personal Skills, they are both special abilities belonging to the Servant.

The difference is that Class Skills depend on the Servant's class, while Personal Skills depend on the Servant's abilities during their lifetime.

For example, Servants of the Saber, Lancer, and Archer classes are generally granted the Skill "Magic Resistance," possessing a certain degree of magical resistance, hence they are also known as the Three Knights. Servants of the Rider class are generally granted the Skill "Riding." Caster has "Item Construction" and "Territory Creation," Assassin has "Presence Concealment," and Berserker has "Mad Enhancement."

These are all Class Skills, and Servants who obtain these classes generally possess these corresponding Skills.

Personal Skills are abilities possessed during one's lifetime. For example, Archer's "Projection Magecraft" and "Clairvoyance" are abilities he possessed during his lifetime, so they are Personal Skills. Caster also possesses the Personal Skill "Rune Magecraft." Powerful Servants even have Skills comparable to the effects of a Noble Phantasm, which is astonishing.

In view of this, Luo Zhen can also confirm Mashu's ability values, clearly observing them.

"The more excellent the Master's abilities, the more analysis can be done on the Servant, right?"

Mashu looked at Luo Zhen with some hope.

"If it's senpai, then you'll definitely be able to know the Servant's ability values to the greatest extent."

This was indeed the case.

Just as Mashu said, the higher the Master's abilities, the more of the Servant's ability values can be confirmed.

In Luo Zhen's case, attributes, ability values, Class Skills, and Personal Skills can all be seen. The extent of his abilities as a Master is evident.

And this wasn't the first time Luo Zhen had seen Mashu's ability values.

After all, grasping a Servant's abilities is the first thing a qualified Master should do. Luo Zhen had already confirmed Mashu's ability values during Archer's attack.

However, when Luo Zhen first saw Mashu's ability values, he was quite puzzled.

"It's one thing that the Noble Phantasm's rank can't be confirmed, but I didn't expect that even the rank of the Personal Skills can't be confirmed."

But now, Luo Zhen understood.

The reason why the rank of the Noble Phantasm couldn't be confirmed was because Mashu couldn't use the Noble Phantasm yet.

The reason why the ranks of all Personal Skills were uncertain was because Mashu hadn't completely mastered the power as a Servant, or rather, she still had a lot of room for growth, which led to this happening.

Even the rank of the Class Skill "Spirit Origin Inheritance" was displayed as a question mark, proving that Mashu's potential was still great and highly uncertain.

But what really concerned Luo Zhen was Mashu's class.

————〈Shielder〉.

This is a non-orthodox class different from the seven major classes, and only Servants who do not meet the requirements of the basic classes will possess it after reaching certain conditions. Like a bug in the system, it is an exception among exceptions.

Servants with non-orthodox classes may not necessarily be stronger than Servants with orthodox classes, but they are often very special, or possess abnormal ability values, or possess unexpected Skills, or possess astonishing Noble Phantasms.

And the Servant who transferred power to Mashu was obviously one of them.

Shielder.

Regarding this class, Luo Zhen didn't know much, but he could somewhat guess that it must be a Servant who holds Skills and Noble Phantasms similar to shields to protect themselves and their companions.

In other words, Mashu is a Servant who specializes in defense.

This can also be seen from her ability values.

"Having the highest level of Endurance, and so many Skills to protect allies, it's not surprising to get this class."

It was precisely because her defense was so outstanding that Mashu was able to completely withstand the attacks of monsters like Berserker even in her half-baked state.

But even so, it still couldn't conceal the fact that Mashu couldn't use her Noble Phantasm.

The shield in her hand is now just a relatively sturdy shield, and has not yet exerted the power of a Noble Phantasm.

If the power of the Noble Phantasm were to be exerted, it should have amazing effects such as "guaranteed hit to the heart," like the magic spear possessed by Caster during his lifetime.

And to exert this effect, the true name of the Noble Phantasm must be released.

After all, famous weapons have their own names, just like the Heroic Spirits who are their masters.

Only by releasing the true name can the true power of the Noble Phantasm be unleashed.

This is the problem.

Mashu doesn't even know the true name of the Heroic Spirit who gave her power, so how would she know the true name of the Noble Phantasm?

Therefore, Mashu hoped that Luo Zhen could analyze it.

Unfortunately…

"No matter what, if the Master's abilities alone could analyze the Servant's true name, then there would be no point for the Servant to hide their true name."

Luo Zhen opened his mouth with a wry smile.

With Luo Zhen's abilities, the ability values he could analyze had already reached the maximum extent.

As for the true name, it was impossible to know it solely through the Master's abilities.

Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable for a Master to instantly know the effects and weaknesses of any Servant's Noble Phantasm, no matter who they were facing.

"...Is that so?"

Mashu seemed a little disappointed.

It wasn't disappointment directed at Luo Zhen, but disappointment directed at herself.

"I'm sorry, senpai, for pushing my problems onto you." Mashu said sadly, "As expected, senpai should be with a more capable..."

This time, Luo Zhen didn't let Mashu finish.

"If you say that again, I'm going to get angry, you know."

Luo Zhen said this quite seriously, causing Mashu to panic and shut her mouth.

Seeing this, Luo Zhen's expression softened slightly, and he reached out to pat Mashu's head.

"Don't worry."

Luo Zhen curled his lip and smiled.

"Since I'm the most capable Master, then you, who is contracted with me, will definitely not remain a half-baked Servant forever."

"So, trust me, just leave it to me."

In the end, Luo Zhen didn't choose useless comfort, but made a firm promise.

"Senpai..."

Mashu stared blankly at Luo Zhen, looking at the confident expression on his face, and the loneliness in her heart finally gradually disappeared.

That's right.

Trust him.

As long as she trusts the person in front of her, that's enough.

Therefore, she must entrust everything to him and dedicate everything to him.

Dedicate it to this senpai who has always led her forward.

If that's the case, they will definitely be able to overcome all difficulties.

Definitely...
