Fuyuki Japan – 2005 August

To Shirou surprise, the Clock Tower schooling system and circulum have many thing in common to a normal England university. Well except the course taught there actually are all about the moonlit world

As an apprentice mage, Shirou will be enroll to the Clock Tower under the protection of Rin as his mentor. The fee will just be like normal student but his entrance exam is not needed thank to Rin having an introduction letter of Lord El-Melloi II. September will be the beginning of the new school year so currently they are at Rin mansion

"Here your tea senpai, nee-san" Sakura said while put down the tea before sitting down

"Ah thank you Sakura" the raven hair magus said

"So Emiya have you memorized all what you need to do" Rin ask

"Yes" came the answer of the redhead apprentice

"Okay if that the case then answer these question" the Tohsaka heir decided to test out her apprentice

"What part of the name of higher rank people you gonna adress"

"The last name"

"How many departments are there in the Clock Tower?"

"Thirteen in total, twelves of them have educational function"

"Who is the current Vice Director of the Clock Tower and head of Policies department"

"Lord Lorelei Barthomeloi"

"What is the name of the Second Magician"

"Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg"

"How many factions are there in the Clock Tower and who are they"

"There are 3. The Aristocratic faction, the Democratic faction and the Neutral faction"

"How many True Magic confirmed to be exist"

"Five"

"The youngest Magician currently"

"Aozaki Aoko"

"Hmm seem like your basic knowledge is good enough" Rin compliments

"Well thank to you drilling them into my head" Shirou let out a sarcasm

"So do you remember when will we leave" the raven hair said while brushing of the sarcasm

"At the end of the month, a few day from now. After all you said we need to get there early to select our dorm room" the redhead apprentice said "Also Tohsaka, I suggest you get yourself familiar with atleast one of modern communication method"

"You know I'm really inept to electronic devices right" Rin groan only for the auburn hair youth to sigh at her while remember his master complaints about electronic device and how she manage to break them in a way that baffle him

~Flashback

"Emiya, how do you use that phone anyway?"

"Emiya. How do you run this blu ray device?"

"Emiya. What does this supposed to do?"

"Emiya. Why is the TV like this"

…..

~End of flashback

Changing the subject Rin let out a fake cough "Anyway, what about your preparations ?"

"Me? All set actually, just waiting for the day to come. Also what Airline do you want me to book ?" Shirou said

"Your choice" theraven hair magus said

London England – 2005 End of August

After theirs flight, the two japanese magus have arrived on England soil. As the two landing is in the middle of the morning in England hour frame, its seem that the two will be able to take a look at the dormitry in the day

"The atmosphere in England sure is different from Japan" Shirou comments while looking at the city architectures

"Well that is expected from a city dated back to the first century for you" Rin remarks "So what do you suggest our actions my dear apprentice"

"Hmm" the redhead ponder "I think we should book a hotel room in case we couldn't got ourselves a dorm room imidiately today. Looking for dorm while carying all our luggage is not advisable in my opinion"

Rin decided to follow Shirou suggestion. The two book a room for two at a 3 star hotel 10 minutes walk away from the Clock Tower perimeter to ensure. The place's price is cheap if one look into the quality of the hotel rooms and service. After setting down all the luggages in theirs booked room, Rin set up a warning bounded field before the two magus head for the Clock Tower dormitries in the Mystile colleage town

"You know Emiya, that IBAN you have there is sure useful" Rin make a remark

"Ah well the IBAN was gramp Raiga gift when he heard I'm going abroad" Shirou said "And its is as you said, having it sure is convenient when you are abroad. Thinking again why don't you get one Tohsaka? After all transaction in the moonlit world from what you said do use mundane currencies after all"

"Hmm. Now you mentioned I may look into this IBAN thing" the raven hair magus said with a playful tone

The Mystile colleage town contain the main academic building of the Clock Tower. The place is a juxtaposition of contemporary and medieval architecture, some building date back to the 12th century. The town have its own business district to supply the inhabitant. Outside of the dormitry, students can also rent or buy housing locate inside or at the gray zone of the colleage town.

The two magus from japan look around any dormitry they can and to theirs dissapointment most of them are already reserved month ago.

"Dammit" Rin groan

"Calm down Tohsaka, we still haven't check some dorm yet, maybe they still have room unreserved" Shirou try to calm down the raven hair magus "Beside its kinda late and there still more than a week before the year begin

"Fine" the female japanese pout

Looking at the girl pouting, Shirou can only smile at the action only for Rin to realized it and start hitting him in a playing manner

The next day the two japanese decided to split up. Rin will go looking for dorm room in the dormitries the two haven't visit the previous day yet. Meanwhile Shirou will look around town to find any suitable alternative housing option if his mentor failed to find a dorm rooms

The redhead japanese was able to communicate with the locals quite fluently thank to Taiga english 'drill camp'. After several hours searching and asking local inhabitants, Shirou stumble on an apartment building that have the most modern design in the auburn hair youth opinion. Only 5 minutes walk from the Clock Tower perimeter. His first impression of the place can be considered pleasant, the corridor is clean, the landlady is nice from what his interaction with her. Overall this place can be considered really nice. The place also allow for inhabitant to have access to internet since its is in the grey zone. But to Shirou surprise this place still have several rooms left

(The word grey zone I use here refererring to part of the Clock Tower colleage town that allow people of the moonlit world leave to or enter from the mundane world)

With that being said, the male japanese male decided to return to the hotel room to have a disscusion with Rin. But the scene that greet Shirou when he enter the hotel room was not quite what he expected. Inside the room a bandaged Rin is lying on the bed

"Uh Tohsaka? What happen?" the redhead youth is confused

Seeing her companion, Rin sigh and begin explaining what happened

Its seem that the the raven hair magus able to actually found a vacant dorm room in one of the dormitry. When she decided to check the place, she encounter a fellow first year female magus who also there to look for a dorm room. At first the two have a quite pleasant interactions but when Rin mentioned of being a Tohsaka the other magus turn hostile imidiately without the raven hair magus why? The hostility quickly escalate into a full blown hand to hand fight between the two female that result in heavy property damage. When people of the management arrived the two got out of the way for questioning of theirs action. After an hour the management decided to ban both of them from the dormitry and demand repair fee. As Rin is considered not the instigator from witness testimony, she have to pay less repair fee than

While the fee Rin have to pay is smaller, she feel like she on the loser side cosidering she was knock out at the end. Combine with the fact she felt a great rivalry bloom in her toward the other female magus and the other one feel the same.

"Well so much for getting a dorm room" the redhead said

"Its was all her fault" Rin shout in frustration

"Right right right" the apprentice magus try to calm her down "So who is this person"

"Her name is Luviagelita Edelfelt, and she also a student at mineralogy like me" the raven hair magus groan in frustration

"Is that so" Shirou said

"Now we need to find a different place to settle" Rin sigh

"Well actually" before the female can said anything, Shirou interject her "Today I went around town and stumble upon a nice apartment building. Its located in the grey zone so travel from there to both the colleage town and the normal part of London is quite convenient"

"Oh, such a place exist? How about the quality" Rin ask

"The palce seem decent, price seem to be reasonable. So what do you say, shall we check out the day after tomorrow" Shirou said

"No. We shall go tomorrow" Rin declare

"But your wound" the redhead said

"No worry, its will be fine when tomorrow come" Rin asure her companion

The next days both Rin and Shirou come to the place the redhead stumble yesterday.

"You know Emiya, this place sure have a good location" Rin remark while observing the apartment building surounding

"Well I told you right. Now let us check the place" Shirou said to his companion

Shirou and Rin heading inside. After a few minutes of waiting the landlady met them and begin taking them for an apartment viewing. After an hour or so, the two finally able to settle down with an apartment room down on the third floor. Its has all the the requirements the two magus wanted, some even better than what they listed at first, also perfect for theirs amount of money plus the bonus of having a great window view.

"Alright I think we will take this apartment" Shirou said "So can you show me the needed paperwork?"

"Oh wonderful" the landlady said "Please follow me" while Rin watch and amused how her companion adapt to the new environment with such incredible speed. She wonder if adaptability a strong point of him.

In both Shirou and Rin opinion, even though the landlady is someone affiliated with the moonlit world, she is really a nice person. Showing no discrimination for magi that from far region like many other does. She also show a genuine care for inhibitants who live inside her building. Also she allowed modifications to the place as long as you got approval from her

With the deal sealed that the two japanese finally decided to rent the place. The two magi move in right on the next day, setting their luggages and prepare for theirs first years at the Clock Tower.

London England – 2005 Beginning of September

The first year at the Clock Tower of the two japanese magi have begun. Since both of them just enter school, they both have to attend some of the general classes under the General Fundamentals department

Currently, the two have just finish their first lesson, and to none of the two surprise, unsavory eyes already take look at them

"You know Tohsaka, when you said they don't like people from the East much, i never thought it this bad" Shirou said loud enough for just the two to hear

" Sigh Well what can I say, its all thank to the inner working of the Clock Tower" the raven hair shrug "So you understand why I ask you to memorize all those basic etiquette?"

"Yes" the redhead said

"Good" Rin smile at her apprentice

"Also it seem like just as you said my specialty is consider useless around here" Shirou make a comments "But its seem like also like you have said before, theirs Gradation Air and Structrual Grasp are lack luster compare to mine"

"Well what can I say, your situation is quite an unique case after all" Rin said "So what do you think we do this afternoon"

The auburn hair youth ponder a little before speak again "Personally, I suggest we check around the business district, trying to familiarize with the place. Also we could locate certain place of interest to visit later on in the year to come"

"Now that certainly a great idea Emiya. But first let go back and see what change we need to make to the apartment since you got permission from the landlady" Rin said

After returning to theirs apartment room and set aside theirs learning the materials and have theirs lunch. The two head off to the business district of the colleage town

"Wow this place is much bigger and modern than I expected" Shirou remark

"What did you imagine when you first heard of the place then" Rin ask with curiosity

"Well, you know your typical medieval fantasy style market place" the redhead said while scratching his cheek

"Well your imagination is actually not unfounded given the magus society reputation" Rin said "So where do you want to go first"

"Well as an apprentice" Shirou then show a little grin "After you my mentor"

"Haha very funny Emiya" Rin scowl

The two traverse the business district. Unlike inside the Clock Tower, people here either don't show it on the face or actually don't discriminate as much. Walking around they found multiple place that caught theirs attention

"I must say the ware they sold here are actually much better than any high quality store in the mundane world even though the design don't seem to be that modern" Shirou comments while looking a little shocked

"Well the world have to move on you know. Even if it the moonlit world" Rin smirk

The visit to the place is rather a pleasant walk as they able to purchase quite a good deal of items in both Shirou and Rin opinion. Learning materials, gem base material, home appliances, some basic electronic device to Rin discomfort.

"We sure got a good haul today" Rin said

"We sure did" Shirou said

"Oh the two of you back already" a mature woman voice can be heard by the two japanese

"" Evening Mrs. Talla"" the two magi said in unison – Mrs. Talla is the made up landlady of the apartment building Rin and Shirou later Luvia as well stay in. She herself a former member of the moonlit world

"Hmm. And I see that you two bought quite a lot of stuff" Mrs. Talla said while looking at the bag the two carry

"Well we actually got ourselves some good deal" Rin said while Shirou show a wry smile

The landlady smile before talk to the two again "Oh right I found a contractor for your apartment change. He someone I know and affiliated with moon lit world so no need to fear. Beside you two aren't gonna set up your workshop that soon anyway" which produce strained laugh from the two japanese

The change was decided by Shirou and Rin after a few days they move in when they found some features not to theirs liking. Well as the landlady have stated when they made a contract, as long as they got her permission, they can change the place as they want. And for that the two japanese is grateful

Most of the changes Shirou hired the contractor was related to the kitchen and the apartment electricity system, things he unable to handle himself

"Wow, I never thought these kind of changes can be done so fast" Shirou remarks

"Well we are professional among professional so this much is normal" the contruction crew leader said with a laugh "Okay everything seem to be done, you can check for result now"

After a few minutes checking. Shirou show a content look about the result "Everything perfect" then proceed to grab his wallet and handed the money the man

"Happy doing business with you" the man said while recieves his payment before leaving with his crew after fininsh theirs clean which was also part of the contract just a few minutes before Rin return from the Clock Tower.

The first word she said when the enter the apartment was full of surprise "Now this was more like it. They sure work fast aren't they"

"Yes. They sure work fast" Shirou replys while glancing around the whole apartment "Okay now while I prepare for dinner you should go and change"

"Alright I'll do just that" declare the raven hair magus

About a week have pass from the beginning of the university year. Today the rehead magus is walking the mundane world street of London trying to familiarize with the city he shall frequently stay atleast 3 years

London is not only large, but its have a quite complicated streets network, a problem for any newcomer to the capital of England. And today it has claim the redhead japanese as one of its victim, for he is now lost inside London maze of streets

"Dammit" Shirou thought "I should really brought with me the god damm map. Even asking locals for help can only do so much" while trying to find his way back to the apartment building

"And I can't even call for a cab"

"I should have not travel too far"

The auburn hair youth have been walking constantly for hours. He can actually feel his legs beginning to when a little numb

"Arghh Tohsaka are so gonna laugh her ass off at the expense of my suffering today if I arrived home too late"

But at that moment he made an encounter, one that affect his life afterward, one become an long lasting connection on his journey. Heading toward a crossroad section of the street, one have a blind sight on the right side. The auburn hair youth walk forward before almost hitting another person. But the person still lost theirs balance and stumble back a bit

Said person was a blonde girl with long hair styled in large coils. She wore a blue ribbons on her head combine with a long blue dress

"Woah" the girl voice can be heard as she stumble back a little

As she stumble back Shirou can see her company look at him with somewhat of an unamused look before speck to him "You imbecible, how dare you mundane…" the person have an appearance of an middle age man, grey hair and mustache, weaing a monocle on the left eye

"Wait I didn't mean to…" Shirou try to reason before the blonde girl interject both of them

"Alfrod, we are in the mundane world, do not act like that" the blonde hair said

A realization came into Shirou mind as he process the very important key word 'mundane' that came from both the mouth of the two person before him "Umm excuse me?"

"What/ What is this?" came the respectively reply of the man name Alfrod and the blonde girl

"Are you two by any chance affiliated to the Clock Tower?" Shirou asks the two in an akward manner. His question cause an silence in the air between the three and luckily there no one else to witness the whole situation

"Ah its seem like you are also part of the moonlit world" the man name Alfrod said "From your appearance you seem to be a students of common birth" the word he said make Shirou realize the two before him are from higher standing in the moonlit world which cause him pale a little given the information he received from Rin. Notice Shirou actions Alfrod continue "You don't need to fear, even the family I serve is of higher standing we do not discriminate commoner like other noble family"

"Oh another student student at the Clock Tower" the blonde said "Are you perhap also a first year student?"

To which Shirou answer "Ah yes"

"Is that so, the name Luvia, Luviagelita Edelfelt and this is Alfrod my butler" the man bow a little "So what your name young man" the girl now identified as Luvia said

Shirou mind race in thought "Wait did she just said her name as Luviagelita Edelfelt. So its mean this very person is the one who fight and beat Tohsaka. I'm definitely not gonna mention this encounter to her or she so gonna kick my ass". After that day the male japanese read over the list of all noble family in the Clock Tower which he also read about the Edelfelt family in it

After a few second for thinking Shirou decide to greet her back "My name is Shirou, Emiya Shirou, its an honor to be able to meet you Ms. Edelfelt"

"Hmm quite a polite one are you" Alfrod said "Ah don't take it the wrong way, I mean it as an compliment, given how rude many commoner these day"

"You seem to be an japanese" Luvia ask and confirmed by Shirou action of nodding "Well you are not gonna have a easy time here given your Far East heritage" Luvia continue. When Shirou decided to go to the Clock Tower he already prepare for the harsh discrimination

"Also Alfrod did you able to locate where we are given you have been looking that map all the way till now" Luvia turned to her butler

"I am very sorry my lady but its seem like I failed to locate our position and make us lost. I should have research more about this city complicated streets maze" the butler show a apologetic sight

"Well guess we have to continue going blindly like this" Luvia sigh

"Actually" Shirou said catching the attention of the two "If you two have a map maybe I can help you"

"Oh and how will that help" Alfrod show an amused look

"To tell the truth I also lost since I forgot to brought a map" Shirou said while scratching his cheek in a akward manner "If you allow to look into your map maybe I'll able to locate our position and help both of us three arrived at our destination"

Luvia and Alfrod look at eachother bofore the blonde hand Shirou the map and said "Lead the way"

With the map of all London in hand, Shirou able to locate theirs current location. To his surprise, Luvia is staying in the same neighborhood as him and Rin and are living at. She was actually looking for a permanent housing which Shirou choose not talk about his current housing in fear of the two gonna fight eachother. After about 30 minutes the three arrived the neighborhood, Luvia and Alfrod part way since they are on the other end of the neighborhood. As he already familiarize himself with the area before the year begin, Shirou able to walk back to the apartment with ease

Meanwhile Luvia and Alfrod are having a talk

"My lady, its seem you took an interest in that young man" Alfrod said while looking at the smiling man

"Well given his character, a rare existence in the moonlit world sure a sight to behold don't you agree Alfrod" Luvia said while still keeping her smile

"Indeed my lady. Indeed" the butler replys

London England – 2005 End of September

Its already weekend and of course on weekend there no class

"So you want to visit that materials shop huh" Shirou asks Rin

"Well as a magus, of course I'm interest in magecraft materials" Rin declare

"Suit yourself. Want me to go and help carry the bags?" suggesting the redhead

"You know my answer already" the raven hair smile a smug smile

Moving to the business district. The two head straight for the the material shops Rin marked at the last visit to the business district

"So which one do you go first? Texts or gem materials?" asks the apprentice

"Hmm lets go with the gems material first since usually they restock theirs good in the beginning of the day" Rin said

The visit to gems and gem related store was rather normal since to be for Shirou honest. All they do there are look into gems and base materials for gems crafting. And with the how fast the visit, the two japanese already move on to magecraft texts store

"Grave of old notes. Moonlit world sure have unique naming sense huh Tohsaka" Shirou said while glancing back at his mentor

"Well what can I say, the moonlit world is unlike the mundane world" Rin said "Now com'on let get inside"

"Welcome" a old looking man greet them at the shop counter "Are you here to buy or are you here to sell"

"We here to buy. Do you mind if we look around?" Rin ask the old man to which he nod in confirmation

"I suggest we split" Rin turn to Shirou to which the redhead agree

Just as the name of the store imply, the place is fill with books, texts, and reading materials with considerable age. Many of them actually date back to the 13th century and some even dated back to the 6th century. There actually ton of variety but most of the book are for magecraft manual of multiple different styles, schools and arts from different region around the world.

"No wonder Tohsaka interested in this place" Shirou thought while looking at the massive shelf system that look more like of an grand library than an store

Browsing through different section of the store Shirou as someone belong to the specialist group can only able to use a few type of arts given his incompatibility for almost all magecraft arts. And so the option for him to look into is rather limited

Bounded field, one of the most common knowledge a magus needed to learn and be able to use. One of the few arts the redhead can actually utilize without any problem with his peculiar Origin and Element. As its is one of the basic doesn't mean it's a simple think to master. Bounded field can be categorized into many large type like security, defense, camouflage and several more. And under every large type there are even more sub types.

Runecraft, the art to inscribe a symbol to invoke a mysteries based on the symbol meaning. Sadly there only materials for Modern runes which are just but pale imitation of the much more powerful Old runes and Primodial runes. But even if they are pale imitaion of the stronger one doesn't mean they have no use in the current age.

"Emiya, did you find anything?" Rin call out to her apprentice

"Yes" replys the apprentice while holding several book "And you yourself got quite a lot I must say" glancing at the stack of books the raven hair magus carrying "So need a hand?"

"Nope" Rin answer "You should know already that I'm not so weak in my physical strengh Emiya" she let out a smug face "So bounded field and runecraft huh. Given your specialty these two certainly the best to look into"

Smiling the rehead. After a few second of looking at the stack of books, notes and materials Rin is carrying and perform a little scanning "Now that a lot of jewelcraft and jewelcraft related materials?" the auburn hair youth comments

"Well as I specialized in jewelcraft of course I would buy these kind of materials" Rin raise an eyebrow while making an unamused voice then return to her normal tone "If both of us are done shopping then time to get back then"

The two return to the counter to pay up for theirs purchases. Finish the procedures, Rin and Shirou begin to return to the apartment when they notice the landlady talking with the contractor that perform construction work at theirs apartment a few weeks ago

"Is some one new moving over Mrs. Talla?" the redhead ask the landlady knowing

"Well yes young Emiya" the landlady said nonchalantly " There new inhabitants coming, well she rent the whole first and second floors and ask to reform all of them. Well they certainly look like member of higher standing in the moonlit world"

"Is that so?" came the reactions of Shirou "Well I think we should not tool any more of your times so please excuse us"

After the two returned to their apartment

"Well this might cause certain problem" the redhead said with a grimace expression

"Before you enter any conclusion, I suggest we wait and see who this person first" said Rin "So do you have any plan tomorrow?"

"Well I think I'll go to that normal combat mystic code store then return home to look into these bounded field and runecraft materials, after all we still on the first month" The auburn hair youth answer with a smile. From the memories of Saber he able to see how her destroying her body trying to work and that only possible thank to Avalon. Shirou as he have returned it to her can no longer pick such option

The next morning he went to the the mystic code and bought several knife mystic codes for testing of his magecraft later on then return to the apartment to start reading what he bought the previous day

"As I thought, even though these supposed to be part of the basic, to master it is gonna be very problematic for even genius magus" Shirou mutter as he flipping the page of one of the books he bought 'General Knowledges and Basic Understanding about Bounded field'

Reading through the book Shirou able to determine several key points about the construction, maintainance and effect of bounded field

But first one must understand what is a bounded field. Simply put bounded field is a barrier like magecraft created from knitting a network of magical energy and spreading over an base area. Forming a mystical boundary line that separate the two side of the bounded field

Second thing is the construction of a bounded field. The method to create a bounded field is very diverse as it is created by knitting a network of magical energy. The network can be formed from energy point, magic circles, runes and even just some random objects, which the last one sound absurd but does exist. Most magi would rely on energy point or a magic circles to create a bounded field since runes are not something one can learn easily like the other two and random object bounded field usually weak and easy to detect

Third is maintainance of a bounded field. The common knowledge prove that a bounded field should be supply either by the mana in the air or from other source like magic gems or mana reactor. But mana generated by one self is not advisable unless the person can generate a lot of mana. Also mysteries and magic circles can fade away overtime so one might need to attend to their bounded field before its broken down if they want to keep it running.

Last and most important about bounded field is the effect of one. The effect vary base on how the bounded field created and what kind of mysteries used in its creation. Ranging from simple detection, suggesting, causing illusion to outright incinerate target or incur absolute terror. But the more important is that if done right, one can make a multi layered bounded field with everysingle one of them have a different effect and be able to support eachother. The pinacle of bounded field is called Reality Marble, the power to overwrite reality temporary to one inner world

To be honest Shirou is overwhelmed by the versatility of bounded field, to disable these things of higher rank without prior knowledge will very problematic. And that is if one able to detect the bounded field in the first place. A common practice Shirou seen listed in the book is the use of fake bounded field to lure the enemies into the real one. And all this is something available for even specialist like him

"Never thought that there a field a third-rate can stand toe to toe against a first-rate" Shirou thought in his mind

The second book he check is called 'Runecraft for beginner' and as from the very tiles stated, its seem like this book is an overview on runecraft for people new to the arts. Flipping through the pages, the redhead can see the basic description of runes character, theirs meaning and how to percieve and use the runes, the simple runes combining method.

Well from the information Shirou made out of modern runes are but pale imitation of old runes or Primodial runes crafted by Odin himself. But even if modern runes are imitation, they can sure be useful if used right.

"Well that is enough for today, I should start making dinner then" the japanese male mutter before heading to the kitchen and prepare dinner for him and Rin

London England – 2005 October

Rin and Shirou are having a problematic situation. Its turn out the new inhibitant who moved in the apartment building Mrs. Talla mentioned about is actually Luvia. For Rin, she is inside a debate of how to react to this revelation about her new neighbor. Cause she do not want to got kick out of her current housing because she anger the landlady due to trying to fight Luvia. On the other hand Shirou is very much wanted the Edelfelt heiress forgot about him so that Rin don't know he already met Luvia

"Why does she have to move in here" Rin groan

"Even if you ask me, how should I know" came the reply of Shirou "And you should remember the last time you two fight and the result it lead to Tohsaka"

"You don't need to remind me that" the raven hair magus slumped " Urghh Guess I'll have to endure then"

Then suddenly Rin remember something "Oh right Emiya, I think I'm gonna need your help on something"

Said thing is the project entrusted to her family by non other than the Wizard Marshall Zelretch, 'The Jeweled Sword'. Rin have been having a really hard time make out of how to create the damm thing from just the blueprint. After all the materials to make the Jeweled Sword was not listed in the blueprint for some reason. Thankfully her ancestors (well not her father) as Rin have said were able to found the needed base materials to create the Gem formula for Jewel part of the sword.

"Are you sure about showing this to me?" Shirou show a skeptical look

"Well given your nature, well I see no problem with it" came the answer of the redhead's mentor

Rin answer make the auburn hair youth eyes twitch a little "Given your characters. I really don't know how to percieve your words. Should I take them as a compliment or should I take them as an insult?" paused a little Shirou then let out a sarcasm "Cause they sound like both to me"

Hearing Shirou like this make Rin both giggle and concern, after all there something in his sarcasm sound similar to Archer

"Well joke aside I really need your help on this thing" Rin who now turn back to normal said

"Fine"

The base for Rin creation of her Jeweled is an Azoth sword given its nature an alternate method of performing jewelcraft spell without the one time use gem. Its seem that the one the raven hair magus used as a base was part of a pair along with the one used to kill Kirei. As the female japanese said, the Azoth sword she use as a base for the Jeweled sword also crafted from the Tohsaka heirloom jewels.

"So what my roles then" asking the redhead

"Well start with forging the materials follow that instruction sheet" Rin said while pointing her hand toward a stack of base materials and a sheet of paper on the table

"Alright" came the answer of Shirou before he headed for the job. "This is gonna cost a lot of time" the apprentice think in his mind

Shirou own study on bounded field haven't enter stagnation yet or rather. He been making progress faster than expectation

For the bounded field part. After quite sometimes experiementing on his own, Shirou able to out pace the lesson in his book regarding low level bounded field and already start working on middle level. But this is where thing start tricky

What separate the middle level and above from the low level is due to the implication and the complexities of bounded field these levels hold. For example, a detection bounded field can instead of just solely rely on magical energy detection, its can also have life force detection or motion detection added in the same bounded field. But to create such advance bounded field formula is already hard, making it defense mechanism and concealment features are even harder.

"So much for the idea of rush learning bounded field" Shirou thought to himself

Next on the redhead check list is his progress in runecraft, slow progress is an overstatement but not stagnant, after runecraft is and very problematic art. When a person remember the face of the runes character he must also remember the meaning the runes bear. For runecraft work with how the mind percieve character and the world in conjunction. Also the aspect of a failed runecraft spell cound potentially blow up a person body part just because you percieve the meaning of a character wrong make many magi fear the art even modern runes is actually weak compare to where it imitate from.

The redhead finally understand why Rin, his mentor word when she said that 'To walk the path of a Magus is to walk with death' and all the hard ship a magus may face. Combine this with how corrupted and back stabbing nature of the moonlit world. He now realized the reason his adoptive father try to stop him from following the path of a magecraft user. But still there no going back now

London England – 2005 Beginning of November

Well turn out Rin and Luvia have fights in classes so frequently even this their third months that the falcuty members decided to change both schedule so that the two never in a same class. Well that may not completely prevent them from fighting but reduced the amount and damage caused significantly.

Thankfully most of the time its was Luvia who instigate the fight so Rin most of the time receive a less severe punishment from the falcuty.

"Really Tohsaka how do you even encounter her when you said the department already seperate you and her into different class so you two won't met at the same time?" Shirou ask while showing a genuine curiosit. After all how do the two heir still met with all the change in the two schelude to stop them from engage eachother

"How should I know" Rin groan "It as if it was deliberately action of her to provoke me" her voice show clear hint of frustration

Knowing he should not press the matter further Shirou try to change the subject

"So how was the Jeweled Sword?" asked the apprentice magi

Hearing Shirou talk about her progress turn Rin to a more neutrual state. If one ask why Shirou ask when he supposed to help her then he only help with making of the material after that Rin perform her work alone since Shirou is actually 'trash' in that department

"Well I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. Still that pseudo second magic mystery is one hell of a challenge" Rin said then declare loudly "But I'll definite prove I will complete the task that troll entrusted to my family"

In his office Zelretch suddenly sneeze infront of the Vice Director of the Clock Tower

"I thought a Dead Apostle can't sneeze" the Barthomeloi said with a trolling tone unlike her normal stoic behavior

"And I myself sure it suppose to be that way" the Keleidoscope reply while a single thought ran through his mind "Someone. Someone definitely just mentioned me as a troll"

~Somewhere other than the physical plane

In an pocket dimension with gateway deep under the Mariana Trench. Several pairs of eyes snapped open in the void of nothingness inside the pocket dimension. Something have awaken, something have finally stop sleeping. A jaw then appear in the void showing an existence have finally escape from it slumber.

"Hmmm, something is happening on the physical plane" the creature thought

"I haven't interfere or mingle with these worlds system since the aftermath of Sefar in them. Might as well take a look and see what is happening on the World. After all he may reincarnated into someone out there"

In the plane where Gaia reside

"Strange I can seem to feel the instinct part of my extension weakened on this particular universe"

"Something is happening" Gaia thought as she look into the change of the world "Oh dear,I think I know why now. Seem like 'he' going to interfere with the world given 'his characters'. Well let see if anything special about this particular world line then for him to interfere"

"And yet why do i feel like 'he' might be ressurected"

Meanwhile with Alaya

"Gaia extension's instinct found weakened. Multiple anomolies in calculation. Continue Observation. Begin new caculation process"

"Finding match of anomolies cause in database"

"Sending order to extension. Temporary put on hold all direct interaction with the world on the world and neighboring world"

"Zero match found in database. Initialize highest level of caution. Prepare to deploy every means neccessary"

~Back to present in the physical plane

London England – 2005 End of November

As one of his specialty is Projection Rin told Shirou to go and try getting something new in his arsenal beside the Caliburn cause he is not suppose to use Caliburn infront of other magi

"Well hope I didn't got lost like last time I wander around" Shirou murmur as he keep walking

The destination the auburn hair youth headed for is an antiques shop that he got introduced to when asking Mrs. Talla on where he can look into thing like old swords. As she describe the place, its seem like a place for hobby more than an actual store. Only when he arrived at the shop did he understand the landlady description of the place

"Place of old memories huh?" Shirou thought "That actually quite a fitting name for this kind of shop"

After a few second standing infront of the shop, checking the exterior of the place. From the outside look one can easily notice the building is of old design, probably one belong to the Renaissance period. There not much decoration on the store front beside the signboard, the overlook window and the door. Finally Shirou decide to enter the store.

"Welcome to the shop. How may I help you young man" greet the man at the shop counter

Shirou look at the man. From outer appearance he seem to be in his 40s, eroupean look, brown hair, green eyes although he wear an eyepatch on the left. The japanese can see scar end at the edge of the eyepatch. The man is tall, atleast above the mark of 1m90 (~6ft2) having what can be called a very fit body.

"Ah sorry I got in a daze there" Shirou show a apologetic smile before continue his words "I heard that the shop deal with all manner of antiques?"

"You bet'cha in that regard. Well most of antiques stuff though, after all" As the man chuckle a little bit "No way in hell does my shop gonna fit things like antique vehicles"

"You mean that if you have enough space in here you gonna showcase even vehicles ?" Shirou said

"Hmm maybe" the man replys with a smile while making a fake averting eyes "Well anyway lets get back to business shall we" he continue while Shirou nod in agreement "So what do you want to take a look at youngman?"

"There quite a few things I want to take a look at" Shirou said then paused to ponder a little before continue "How about you show me the weapons section then"

Hearing Shirou answer the man eyes widen since he understood that the youth before him is actually in fact affiliated with the moonlit world just like him "Well aren't you an weird case. Most people like you looking at them for decorations but you seem different. Are you by any chance an enthusiast or are there different reason in your interest"

"Well you could say I have quite the interest in cold weapons. But there also another reason which I prefer not talk about" the auburn hair youth said while scratching his cheek a little in awkwardness

"If you don't want to talk about the other reason then don't talk about it then. I never like to pry into things people prefer not talk about anyway" The man said to Shirou "Alright follow me" then gestured the youth to follow him

"Oh by the way the name Fralanx, Fralanx om Bergok, this store owner and the only person works here" the man now identified as the store owner said

"Shirou, Emiya Shirou, apprentice magus, first year student"

"Quite the odd one aren't cha" then Fralanx paused a little "Wait did you called yourself Emiya?" then turn to Shirou with a curious look

"Yes?" the rehead boy answer

"Are you by anychance connected to the Magus Killer" asked the store owner

"Well if you ask if I'm his son or not then the answer is yes and no. Since I'm adopted" A wry smile show on the auburn hair youth

"Is that so" Fralanx said "Well moving on. Alright here we are" the middle age men then said in a proud voice "Say hello to my collections of goods"

Before Shirou now is the weapon section of the shop. There are thousand of weapon here if Shirou have to estimate. From sword to dagger, from spear to halberd, from axe to hammer, from bow to crossbow, there even flintlock in the mix.

Shirou can see that the man himself is a big enthusiast about antique weapon. And as he also affiliated with the moonlit world, the aspect of some of the weapons here might actually be mystic codes is highly possible.

"This is a lance used by the French Gendarme"

"This sword used to belong to an Teutonic Order Grandmaster"

"While this is an Gladius date back to the golden age of Roman Empire"

Fralanx constantly introduce Shirou to many of the weapon on display. The guy are absolutely obsessed with antiques weapon, but in a good way. Following the store owner, Shirou able to determined that his theory about there actual mystic codes in this place is correct. The redhead can sense the mystical scent from some of the weapons

Then suddenly something caught the japanese male eyes.

"Oh are there something caught your attention youngman" Fralanx ask when notice Shirou gaze

"Yes, these one" Shirou said while glancing at the contents of a display counter

The weapon Shirou looking at is a trio of japanese sword, a katana, a nodachi and a wakizashi. All have the same simple design on the hilt and the hand guard except the color of quite. While the nodachi have a redish to it edge the other, the katana is pure silver while the wakizashi have some golden bronze color to it blade. But the blades of all the three seem to have some rust to it. Overall, just in term of look, these blade look quite beautiful even if other aspects of them outside the blade is rather simple.

"Ah, these blades huh" Fralanx said with a rather amused face "You sure caught good sight huh"

"These are three of the unknown amount of blades forged by Muramasa, well that what the god dammed dealer told me when he sold these" then his voice when a little grunting

Shirou feel like there something related to the blade that cause Fralanx really annoyed so he decided to ask "Oh, so what happen"

Looking at the redhead japanese, the middle aged eroupean sigh "After a few day I bought these, news of that dealer have been selling fake sword come out. Turn out he been selling swords of other maker, polish or fake their look then slapping the name of famous smith to deceive buyer like me. Well theirs quality is not bad and there mystical scent to them. But I didn't buy them because of theirs quality nor the fact they are mystic codes, so now they on the shelf"

After ponder a little the auburn hair youth decided "Well how about you sell these for me"

"Hmm" Fralanx look back at Shirou "All or single?"

"All of the three" Shirou replys

"If that the case let me pack these and we can talk about money at the counter" Fralanx said while start taking the three japanese sword out from the display shelf before asking another question "Any other thing you want young man?"

"Well I think I'm gonna get this, this and these" Came Shirou answer as he pointed at a damascus sabre, a steel long sword and a set of throwing knives that the auburn hair youth sensed mystical scent from

After all thing packed the two return to the counter to finish the payment. The store owner give Shirou a small discount in the form of a specialized double bag to carry weapon as a token for he believed the japanese might come again to his store. Which frankly Shirou actually plan to later on

Carrying the double back the japanese male start walking back to the apartment. Upon arrived at the destination, the first thing Shirou do was to perform Structural Grasp on the three japanese sword

"Structrual Grasp"

The informations of the blade is instanly transferred inside the redhead mind. And the result is something really surprising. They are all actually genuine Muramasa blades, actual blades made by that demonic swordsmith. The wakizashi seem to be forge as a second sword which all its do is beautiful and for ceromonial purpose. But its still sharp and hard enough for combat purpose. The katana on the other hand are forged as a main weapon to fight against human oponent , its have excellent blade structure combine with its sharpness and ability to turn its edge on fire. Well it certainly can be used in battle for that is it purpose. The nodachi is the most special. After all it's a sword forged to kill oni and its actually taste the blood of lesser oni in the past. For that its have anti-demon properties to its. But the unexpected feature Shirou found was that all three seem to have been used in real combat, and all three seem to belong to a skilled traveling swordmaster in the past and all three have tasted blood.

"Seem like I might need to continue buying from there then" the redhead magus thought. After all in his mind, he have tricked Fralanx about the sword real worth which make Shirou feel somewhat guilty given his character

Continue on the other items, the damascus sabre are well a damascus sabre nothing more. The eroupean long sword however seem used to be a mystic codes before its mysteries faded from the weapon. Before it can actually shoot wind shot that can cut a person flesh with a thrust now its just work like normal steel sword, so much for a once useful mystic code. The throwing knives are all like what the shop description.

As he about to put the weapon inside the double back and set them to the side of the room, Shirou realized Rin is staring as him inspecting the weapons

"Oh you back already Tohsaka, wait me a bit and I'll prepare dinner" said the auburn hair youth

The raven hair magus smirk "I must say you really are obsess with sword. Maybe both your Origin and Element actually sword" Rin laugh a little "So got any good stuff today?" she asks

Set down the bag Shirou begin to move toward the kitchen "Well quite a good haul I must say, I actually got myself 3 muramasa in the process" came the answer of the apprentice magi

"3 muramasa huh" Rin muse "So how much its cost"

When Shirou explain the situation and the circumstance regarding the purchase of these sword. Rin laugh. How can she not, its sound absurd yet it actually possible to happen in both the mundane and the moonlit world. This also continue to prove Shirou proficiency in Strutural Grasp is beyond what most magi can, he might be currently the best magi in Structural Grasp

"Well that certainly a good haul given what you got and the price" Rin comments "Still its seem rather weird how real blades mixed in what supposed to be a batch full of fake one"

"Well the world is certainly full of mysteries" the rehead said

"Yes, the world is certainly full of mysteries" the raven hair magus said then snap "So what for dinner"

"How about some pasta. After all you said you want to try it" came the suggestion of Shirou

"Sound good to me"

London England – 2005 Beginning of December

The last month of the first term have arrived and Shirou is still stuck with his practice on Projection. Yes the quality of the Projected items is still better than normal magi but the rehead felt something not right. Like something is missing compare to went he project Caliburn and Avalon

That is when he realized something. He have been following the proper procedure of a normal magi, not following the instruction of the Archer Servant. Decided he shall try out the method the red clad bowman told him.

Shirou beginning to ponder back the Archer of the Holy Grail War words. Closing his eyes he start reminiscing

~Flashback

"You are not one who fights"

"You're nothing more than one who creates"

"Throw irrelevant thoughts away"

"There's only one thing you can do"

"Master that one thing"

"Never forget this"

"What you should always be visualizing is yourself at your most powerful"

"You don't need external enemies"

"The only oponent you have to fight…"

"…is nothing else but your own image"

~End of flashback

Continue he remember the process on how he create Caliburn

~Flashback

The image of Caliburn vaguely forming in his mind. Shirou begin to recall Archer advice

"The one I must challenge is myself"

"Not a single error or compromise is acceptable"

The redhead teen dodging the incoming strike of the Servant of Madness, the weaon starting to form in his hand

"Assuming the foundation to be complete"

"Replicate the structural material"

"Recall its accumulation time"

"Supersede the formation process"

"And crystallize my image into the form of a sword"

Now in the hand of the auburn hair youth hold the sword of Saber. Not the sword lended to her by the Lady of the Lake, the Last Phantasm Excalibur. But the sword deccided Saber to become the king of Britain, the sword of selection in the stone Caliburn

~End of flashback

Now with both the advices of of the Servant of the Bow and his memories on projecting caliburn, Shirou begin to perform his test.

First the auburn hair youth begin to enter his self hypnotize state, his mental trigger appear in his imagination, the hammer hitting firing pin. Light arc in the form of circuitry flare up dimly on his body with the pale blue color. Mana begin to generate through Shirou magic circuits.

Touching his hand to the nodachi, he activate Structural Grasp, informations suddenly flooded his mind. The ore mined and brought to the forge to smelt into steel. The hammer forging the steel into the shape of the blade. The smith hand giving touch to blade to form the complete the sword. The warrior took the sword and fight using it. The warrior accumulated experiences, his mastery of the blade, his time using it. All these informations, all of them is seen by Shirou through the soul of the blade steel.

Now the true test begin. Now focusing onto the image of the nameless nodachi, Shirou begin the process

First, a weapon need to have a definition of it existence, its need a meaning to why its even made in the first place, its need the purpose of it creator.

"Judging the concept of creation"

Secondly, after knowing the purpose of a weapon. The weapon smith need to have a design for it, a physical form for the weapon to take in order to be used

"Hypothesizing the basic structure"

Thirdly, to create a good weapon, the maker need to find the best suited materials to make them. He must choose the right one for if not the weapon shall not reach full extend of it power and purpose

"Duplicating the composition materials"

To create a good weapon, the skill of a great aker is greatly needed. Normal projection is weak, fragile and distorted because the magi only want to create the object shell. To project something good, one must know how and understand the creating process completely

"Imitating the skill of its making"

A weapon of battle is not created to be hang on the wall for decoration purpose. It is made for the intention to attack, to protect, to kill the enemies. The history its had seen

"Sympathizing with the experience of its growth"

From there, he need to make all those experiences, all the informations the weapon contain all through out its existence he seen as his own. Reproducing everything he gained from the five previous steps

"Reproducing the accumulated years"

Finally combine them all, all the the knowledge that now inside his mind, its creation, its history, its story, its legend.

"Excelling every manufacturing process"

And bring forth the weapon into the physical plane

Shirou body subconsciously move to a combat ready stance, his hand now try to hold a handle that do not exist in his palms. Then blue light emerge in the form of a curve and elonggated object. The palms now suddenly start holding onto the part that look like the hilt, the blue light disappear into moth of light before the hand touch the object. Now in Shirou hand the nodachi ready to be used with all the mastery and experiencs of it previous owner inside his head. All informations regarding the blades now become a permanent part of the auburn hair youth mind.

Slash, thrust, parry, block, Shirou perform multiple movement through the experience now inside his mind. He is speachless, he just not only replicated a weapon look and shape. He just full blown replicate every aspect of a weapon from creation to its history. This is going to be a big problem that Shirou need to have a talk with Rin later, after all this could be both a good and a bad thing if his and Rin theory is correct.

But unbeknownst to him, something not just in his mind but in his soul is starting to change, something is starting to form inside his mind. All the weapon he have seen with his own eyes from the past till now forming theirs vague form inside Shirou currently void-like inner world

Later that day, when Rin arrived back the apartment. Just as she open the door, aroma hit her nose, truly, Shirou cooking is a blessing in the raven hair magus opinion. Its was part of his charms, one of the thing that attract her to this single minded idiot yet so complicated or even broken of a human. And she not the only one. Rin realized her sister affection for him as well, but given his stubborn nature, well she know that he gonna follow his dream and promise without compromise.

Then when she look at him, she can tell something is wrong given his worrying face but knowing his characters now he will talk to her later

After dinner Shirou suddenly talk to Rin

"Tohsaka, I think there a problem arise" the redhead said

"So what is the problem" Rin asked

Shirou begin to explain what happened at the afternoon when he experimenting with projection. On how he able to replicate almost anything about a weapon, well weaker from his comparision in the object quality. The informations make Rin have to really reconsider the problem severity. He not gonna get a Sealing Designation on his head but there will be magus who want to experiment on Shirou if the fact got out. After all if the description Shirou said is right, the nodachi is actually on par with a high rank mystic codes which is comparable with low rank Noble Phantasm.

"Okay, Emiya you are only allowed to project advanced stuffs when you are alone or I around" Rin said " And I believed that I don't need to tell you the reason"

Shirou only nod in confirmation.

"Good" Rin said while a thought surfaced in her mind and sigh "This idiot sure know how create troubles"

After more training later on, Shirou found out that his ability to scan a object informations

London England – 2005 End of December

After more than 3 months the redhead now more or less acusstomed to the area he living at. Today the auburn hair return to Fralanx place. After telling him about the three blade problems, instead of demanding for compensation right away, the store owner just laugh it off which cause the youth feel guilty. But Fralanx asked if Shirou want to compensate him then maybe the japanese can acompany him on a black market items hunts and help him identify them.

"I don't know you deal with the black market" Shirou ask in an skeptical tone

"I think it's a obvious fact given I'm part of the moonlit world" the store owner laugh "And the thing how I have a whole bunch of stuff usually auctioned for dozens thousand of pounds on selling display"

"Okay" the word the youth said trail off a little show some little believement

This make the middle aged man frown a little

"So anyway, you did said you can read an object informations right?" this time Fralanx question show clear interest in the youth Structrual Grasp capability "Can I ask you look into something?"

"Sure, but I can't guarantee that I can get a result that you can satsified with" came Shirou answer

"That find, after all if what you said is true then you might got the most informations from a ll people I have ask anyway" Fralanx said then moved to the inside of the store before going back holding a weird box

Setting the box on the shop counter, the middle aged man open it revealing a weird golden piece in the shape of a pointy arrowhead that connected to a torned strap of fabric

"So what do you want me to check then? History or Creation" Shirou asks while looking at the store owner

"Its history only" came the reply of Fralanx

Nodded in understanding, Shirou touch the obbject and perform Structural Grasp and what he found shocked him.

Information begin to flooding his mind

Shirou saw a long green hair person whose features can be considered either male or female, wearing a white long tunic and a necklace with the same golden piece as a part of it. He saw the green hair fight against Gilgamesh with intensity beyond anything of the sort he ever seen, even during the Grail War. Shirou saw King of Heroes befriended the green hair person, a thing no one could believe. He saw the two powerful people fighting together against countless monster of the land. And he see the two fighting a red eyes goddess who declare her love to Gilgamesh only for the Uruk ruler to decline. Shirou saw how Gilgamesh and the green hair person fight against the red eyes goddess and the death of the the green hair person. Shirou saw how the King of Heroes break down and lament like how any human would

At this point he realized what this artifact belong to. Its belong to the tool created by the god Anu and Aruru to subdue Gilgamesh. Only to have him side up with the King of Heroes and turn against his creator. The one and only friend the ruler of Uruk shall ever recognize. The Chains of Heaven Enkidu

Stoping the Structural Grasp Shirou flinch back a little

"So who does its belong to" came Fralanx question

After a few second the redhead youth decided to answer "Its belong to Gilgamesh only friend. The Chains of Heaven Enkidu"

Hearing the answer the store owner face went on a sour note. "This is going to be a very problematic matter to handle then" he mutter while faced down then turned to Shirou again "Alright I hope you keep quiet about this but I might need a geas for this"

Understanding the man before him is getting serious, Shirou accepted. After the geas is established Shirou decided to leave the place only after Fralanx got his phone number for some reason

Walking the near Christmas street of London. Not like the auburn hair youth a believer of God anyway. But its feel funny to him, a day that supposed to belong by the Christendom yet now can be enjoyed by anyone, even if they follow a different religion or even if they are atheist.

Religion supposed to be enemies of eachother, yet now, in the age where technologies and progress starting to dominate against belief. Such barrier between religion was lowered as if to combat the future where humanity stop believing in higher entities and start believing in its own power.

But such belief is not unfounded, after all countless feat once believed to only god can do now a normal human could perform with the power of knowledges. But such thing is not what Shirou concern himself with. After he prefer to look at the present or near future not the far distant future beyond his vision could imagine

He now see why Gilgamesh angry with the current age but he see the King of Heroes forgot a very important part. In Gilgamesh age the influence of Gods are very much a daily life thing unlike the modern age, where theirs existence are but a myth and story with no more real impact to the society. For in this human age where he said full of rock, full of trash, there shall be beacon bright like the sun that shall push humanity go far beyond

"Oh you home Emiya. So how was the Christmas street" the raven hair greet her housemate

"Yes, the street is certainly crowded. Also I see you decide to take the kitchen tonight" the redhead said and set down a paper bag

"Is that so" the raven hair said "So what in the bag?"

"Just some Christmas treats I bought at some street stall, nothing fancy" he said while scratching his cheek a little "So how was today"

"Well 'interesting' if I must say" Rin scoffs "We'll talk detail during dinner. Now help me set up the table my apprentice"

"Roger that my mentor" Shirou replys to the girl command with jesting tone

London England – 2006 Beginning of January

Due to Rin work on the Jeweled Sword project, the two japanese magus couldn't return back to Japan for the new year holiday.

"So how close you getting at Tohsaka" came the question of Shirou

As today is still in the new year holiday so there no class to attend for the days. That why the two able to afford a long almost all-night rush and a late morning breakfast

"I believed that I am very close to finish the Sword, might took a couple of weeks more but that not a big problem anyway" Rin replys bluntly then sudden change to ask Shirou "So you have any plan?"

"Well I plan to walk the street of London for a little, visit that 'antiques shop' then buy the groceries and return back to the apartment" Shirou answer truthfull "What about you then"

"I'll be in the library today" the raven hair answer "Also I'm not gonna be back late for dinner so no need to wait me" then she stand up and moving to her room to prepare for her leave to the Clock Tower library

"Well have a good trip then" Shirou said while begin to clean the table

The new year street of London still held the atmosphere of the day the calender reset. As its still under holiday, some shop closed while other is pack with people. Truly, where ever he go, new year always a occasion of celebration for everyone

Since he already familiar with several section of London. Shirou decide to venture out to others part of the city. Well its seem that carrying the double back holding the three Muramasa blades doesn't garner any attention at all, a good thing if he must say. After further inspection of the blades in the weeks after he start using the new projecting method, he found a little curse about Obsession on the blades which originate from Muramasa obssession to forge the ultimate blade. But it kinda surprising for Shirou that the curse have no effect on him, was he already hold an obsession that greater than Muramasa one or was his mind doesn't care about obsession that render the curse useless?. Only time will tell

Arrived at the shop Shirou was greeted with a smiling like crazy Fralanx. Turn out the artifact belong to Enkidu is sold to the Clock Tower aristocrat and fenced quite an amount of monetary profit. An as his motto 'Equivalent exchange is the rule of all', the store owner forced Shirou to take some reward which the redhead choose full physical touch inspecton of Fralanx weapon section which the eroupean feel strange for a reward and some money which Fralanx forced Shirou to received.

"Oh right can I see the three blades?" Fralanx ask

"Sure" came Shirou replys as he pull out the three Muramasa blades out of the double bag

"So are these Noble Phantasms ?" came the question of the middle aged man

Noble Phantasm are crystallization of mysteries either a conception or in a physical form. A Noble Phantasm is the result of human imagination and belief given form, an illusion that filled with mystical aspect from story and myth. To become a Noble Phantasm its need a story, a legend or a myth atleast to back up it existence. But these Muramasa blades, even if they belong to the obsession for the ultimate blades of Muramasa tales are not Noble Phantasm. They are but normal high grade mystic codes

"I believed that they are not" Shirou said "After all if they are Noble Phantasm, even if it a nameless one then the Association already have it eyes on these before you could even buy these"

"True" the store owner rub his chin.

London England – 2006 Middle of January

After the last visit to 'Place of old memories' the auburn hair youth begin to visit the store more often. And one thing lead to another, the two enthusiast of cold weapon begin to have sparring session with one another. Turn out the store have a sparring that one third the size of the Clock Tower self-defense class practice hall. When asked why he have this by Shirou, the man just shrug it off with the answer "That a secret" to the redhead annoyance

"Never thought you part of the brute force type" Shirou said while panting. Never the redhead can imagine the store owner could be a brute force type warrior, and a talent one to boost.

"And never thought you are part of the adapt type" came the respond of Fralanx "And to be honest you have one hell of an adaptability. I was hitting you all the time in the beginning and yet just an hour and a half later you already able to stop one fifth of my strike"

"Well I got teachers that force me to adapt" Shirou said while remembering how Taiga and Saber beat him up and forced him to adapt to their beating

"You sure got yourself formidable teacher young man" Fralanx said with a laugh "Now let us see how far can I push you today" the grin on the middle aged man widen more and more. Shirou can already predicted his numbed body when he got back to the apartment

And his prediction is right on the spot. But not as worse as he have expected, there only about two dozens of bruise on his body. Well the beating from Fralanx aren't too bad since as the guy even a brute force fighter he still have some certain level of skill on multiple style. Well as expected from a cold weapon enthusiast. Well thankfully the guy who beaten the auburn hair youth also know healing magecraft so Shirou doesn't have to worry about explaining injuries to his mentor

"How much per kilo of these?"

"Excuse me. How much per pound of this?"

The measuring system in England is fascinating in the japanese male opinion. Even the government decided the metric to be the official system, yet people still use the imperial system almost everywhere in London that Shirou have visit.

"Hmm, I think I have enough" Shirou glance at the bag he holding before heading back to the apartment he and Rin is living. Its rather very weird to the redhead how he never encounter Luvia at the apartment building yet several time at the Clock Tower. And he was interrogated by Rin and forced to tell the truth. Well atleast the prediction of getting beaten by the raven hair magus is replaced by a scolding, which certainly the latter a more pleasant punishment than the former

"Some one sure is having good mood today" Rin said while looking at the redhead in the kitchen then looking back to the table now hold a small feast

"Well you could say something like that" Shirou replys with a wry smile "So did you able to finish that assignment the Second Magician given to your family?'

"Neh, he seem to be out somewhere, maybe traveling to other universe with his Kaleidoscope" Rin said with a hint of annoyance "And I'm so gonna give it back to him that cursed stick he made"

When Shirou heard the phrase 'cursed stick' he realized what Rin actually referring to. The Kaleidostick, one of Zelretch mystic codes that the raven hair magus describe at a enemy of the normal human moral and one that even the Dead Apostle having some regret created it in the beginning. Well not both of the Kaleidostick just the one Rin have in her's possession.

Well how did the auburn hair youth know is thank to an accident when he visit Rin at her home basement workshop. That time he accidentally come across Rin who turned into a magical girl, a freaking magical girl by the Kaleidostick Ruby beating the stick to the ground. When she noticed him looking at her, the Second Owner of Fuyuki literally knocked the son of the Magus Killer out with a clean heavy throw using the Kaleidostick as a projectile. After Shirou regain consciousness Rin who now return to her normal attire apologized to him with the 'cursed stick' under dozens of seal on it next to her. Turn out when Rin open the chest Zelretch give to her family it unleash the stick she put in and begin causing trouble.

"Is that so?" Shirou ponder "Was the the 'cursed stick' cons outdone the pros that much" and ask a question he have in mind since he know the Kaleidostick created by Zelretch

The question of her apprentice make Rin show a deadpanned look "Are you ready to exchange all of your moral and sanity for a power that only there to embarrass you more than help you? Or do you want to test the thing yourself" to which the redhead shaking his head in denial when he saw a wicked smile appear on the female japanese

London England – 2006 Beginning of February

Today the red clad female magus of the Tohsaka bloodline is going to have her meeting with one of the most powerful person in the Asociation, one of the two Wizard Marshall Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg. And today will be the day Rin see if she able to acomplish the task that the Kaleidoscope given to her family

Knocking on the door of the Wizard Marshall office a elderly man can be heard "Come in" upon hearing the words, Rin decided to enter the room

Sitting in the table in the room is a white hair and beard man in his 50s, red eyes that belong to a Dead Apostle rather than a human. How Zelretch become a Dead Apostle is still a mystery to most people, after all he become a Dead Apostle sometimes after he defeats the Crimson Moon Brunestud. Some people actually know how but they don't dare to reveal, after all the wrath of any user of True Magic is all but a nice and pleasant end

"It is an honor to meet you in person Wizard Marshall Zelretch" Rin said her greeting

"Ah Tohsaka Rin, I see that you are here to deliver the result of my assignment" said Zelretch

"Yes" was her answer before heading infront of Zelretch table and put down the still wrapped in cloth Jeweled Sword she created

"So this is the finished product huh" the Wizard Marhsall said while carefully examinates the now unwrapped mystic codes with great interest before holding it infront of the raven hair magus and now show a face of seriousness "I want you to activate it"

"Yes" said Rin as she understand he want to test her if she able to use the mystic code at all

Holding the Jeweled Sword, Rin begin to channel a little of her mana to kick start the mystic codes. After half of a second, the Jeweled Sword lit up, radiate great mystical scent and rainbow color light

Looking at the functioning Jewel Sword Zelretch then told Rin to stop before turning his face to a more relax expression

"Its seem like you have done quite well descendant of Nagato" the Wizard Marhsall praise, one thing so few could received from him

"I thank you for your praise Wizard Marshall" Rin accept the praise while still showing the polite act

That make Zelretch amused "Tohsaka Rin I ask you, do you want to be my student" came the offer of the master of Kaleidoscope with a grin doning his face while the japanese magi eyes widen before she shout

"Hah, take that you you drill hair" Rin shouted in joy before turning pale after realizing what she just did infront of Zelretch only for him to laugh it off in amusement

" Hahaha You sure have a unique character compare to every previous Tohsaka heirs." The Wizard Marhsall laugh "You definitely be an interesting students to teach" the Old Man of the Jewels muse

The now established student and master continue to have more talk after Zelretch took Rin under his wing. In the talk Zelretch reveal some informations that he told Rin to never spread out.

One of them is how he is now a Dead Apostle. Turn out in one of his expedition to the parallel universe sometimes after he defeat the Crimson Moon he perform to a neighbor world on the universes matrix. He got himself temporary fused with another version of him who done the same thing at the same time on the universe time axis. Who only able to partially defeat the Ultimate One of the Moon and got turned into an Dead Apostle after bitten by Brunestud. The two took sometimes to return back to normal after the fused state but at a price. Zelretch now become a Dead Apostle and lost some of his humanity while his counterpart regain part of his humanity. The Wizard Marshall also mentioned how some people laugh their ass off at the absurd situation including the ever stoic Lorelei Barthomeloi when he told them the reason.

When Rin mentioned about the Kaleidostick to Zelretch he was surprise the heiress of the Tohsaka family able to subdue the 'cursed stick' given the Wizard Marshall was very annoyed with his own creation.

"I believed that I have take too much of your time my master" Rin said while standing up and bow to Zelretch

"And I look forward to teach you my dear new student" Zelretch said with a grin on his face

And chapter 2 ended. Whew writing this and handle real life problem certainly took a toll on my mind.

First I want to talk about already existed character that will have certain influence in the story like. They are Aoko, Touko, Lorelei, Bazett, Ciel Fate counterpart, Arcueid Fate counterpart, Sion.. on female side while Lord El Melloi II, Van-Fem, Merem on male side with some made up characters I plan to appear later who existence is still on planning. Most interaction with these character stay at friend and accquaintance in my current plan.

And yes I shall revive Bazett with another made up character who may or may not just appear just to bring Lancer original master back to life

Also there no Tohno Shiki or Tsukihime events since all of its existence are related to Roa existence. But since this is a story in Fateverse, the Serpent of Akasha never met Arcueid in the first place and burnt by Dantes in the 18th century so you get my point.

About Shirou power, I'm thinking about having him earn UBW access through an classcard incident. Also I like to see him dabble into modern firearm to compensate his lack of mana reserve beside his efficiency in projecting. Other type of power, maybe there aren't, maybe there will since its still kinda on debate about Shirou 'final form'

There this problem with Gaia and Alaya in Nasuverse that I see no one notice. If Gaia want she can erase humanity without Alaya able to interfere, then why she doesn't if humanity such a great threats. This give me the idea of the AUs laws

Both Gaia and Alaya are well higher existence that have influence on every Earth and humanity across the infinite universe just vary in level. As they do not directly interfere with the world, in every universe there an extension of them. Gaia extension have sentient side which work in order to preserve all life even humans while the instinct try to finish off humanity. Alaya extension on the other hand is too young so it only hold instinct which is survive at all cost. This can somewhat explain Gaia contradicting actions and Alaya way of working on a world

Also there these idea of nasuverse fanfiction that I don't know why people don't dabble on which kinda baffle me how they all focus on grand order or stay night war

Lancer part-time adventures: Bruh think about how much potential it can be

Emiya Gohan world line daily life: Well instead of focusing on food now its focusing on the daily life/ slices of life aspect of the Servants and Masters of the fifth Holy Grail War if they don't give a crap about the worthless and corrupted Grail

Fanfiction base on the madness of of Carnival Phantasm: Think of all the isnsanity when you bring the level of madness from Carnival Phantasm up a notch

How about having Gun God become a Servant, BRUH, a freaking Ultimate Glass cannon

Shiki adventure after the event of Tsukihime, like why no one ever think about it?

I literally see no Tsukihime crossover with other fanchise what so ever to be honest. Like it has quite the potential for cross over in my opinion.

Crossover with Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei where True Magician arrived to the world as Zelretch or by Zelretch. Thinking about the change that can transpire from that. Also how funny can it be if Tatsuya become Aoko's Hikaru Genji :V

Crossover with DxD. Instead of having Shirou and Ritsuka arived at the world of DxD. How about the Grand Caster/ Clairvoyance trio of FGO? One of them the king of Jerusalem who control all 72 demon gods. Another the great sage who guided the Once and Future King of Britain. The last one a King who hate Gods to his very fiber of existence. What madness will happen when Solomon know the Devil society situation, Merlin know about the broken to seven pieces Excalibur and Gilgamesh about the Age of Gods still linger to the modern day of Earth

Crossover with Tokyo Ghoul. Bruh how in there a superior Dead Apostle or even True Ancestor. After all the top of the list of Dead Apostle and True Ancestor even in Fateverse can do a lot of thing that the Ghouls or GCC won't have the means to defend themselves against

Crossover with Mahoutsukai no Yome. The two both have the mystical element and magic school for mages in it. Combine with the existence of mythical creature are real in both world so a crossover between the two is possible

Crossover with Mahō Shōjo Tokushusen Asuka. The world of Mahō Shōjo Tokushusen Asuka is full of darkness and suffering for mankind. What if the Will of Humanity have enough and decided to sent in a Counter Guardian to put the threat out for good?

Ah there so much more idea to think abou…. Ehem, I think I ranting too much on fanfiction idea there. Sorry about that

With that said thank you for reading chap 2 and endure my rant on idea, hope there will be another chapter out. Also my writing grammar suck so you know. Peace
