Chapter 8

Everyone in the vicinity was freaking out when they see a giant Robot appeared out of the ground. Midoriya looked at its shocking eyes and his mouth wide open "Isn't it a little too big?'

The Robot went to punch the ground and the force of his impact had delivers violent wind everywhere, making everyone who in its radius had to withstand the full force of the blast using their feet as a support.

Once the wind cleared out, dust was covering the area and Midoriya just stumbled onto the ground and breathing heavily when he first saw how powerful the robot really is.

Out of the dust came everyone as they were running away from giant Robot as it was coming their way.

A man turns and saw Midoriya stumble onto the ground as he was petrified by how huge the Robot is "This isn't funny!" he hurriedly crawled with his hands and feet "I have to run away! I'll get points as I run…"

"Shoot, shoot, shoot, I'm still at zero points!"

"An overwhelming threat." One of the examiners spoke in the room "How people act after they've seens this shows their true nature."

"Except for a few people." All Might point to Shirou, Sieg and Morgan as they were standing still, blocking the robot path.

"So, this is the one that yellow guy was talking about…" Morgan said with a smug face "It doesn't look so great after seeing it in person."

"Shirou, are you sure you want to fight this thing? It's just an obstacle that's worth zero points and we have procured enough points for us to pass the entrance exam." Sieg replied waiting for his answer.

Shirou took a deep breath "We can't just leave it be after all that destruction it cause…!"

Satisfied with his answer, Sieg smiled "You're right. We as heroic spirit are supposed to protect people from this sort of danger."

"You speak of heroic spirit like they are that pure." Morgan cut in on their conversion.

"What do you mean…?" Sieg asked.

Morgan instantly turn and look at Shirou in the eye "Shirou, you never told him?"

Of course, he never told him, he didn't have the time nor the place to talk to him at the time as everything around him was happening quickly.

He immediately clasped his hand and bow in font of her "Sorry, Morgan."

Morgan then sighed "It's fine, I forgive you since you have given me what I desired most." Which Shirou has no idea what she meant.

She then continues as she dwells on her memories "I'm the witch that initiate the downfall of Camelot and started the battle at Badon Hill just to get back at my sister for having everything while I was thrown out like trash." She crosses her arms before continuing "Well, you could say that I'm an opposite of what heroes should be."

"So. are you certain that people are of good heart?" Morgan asked a pretty good question as Sieg clench his fist as he had remembered all the memories that Jack the ripper had showed him, he wondered whether people are worth protecting before he remember his lover, Jeanne.

She been burned at the stake due to pope decision but had no desire to get her revenge. Sieg smiled at his answer while Morgan looked at him with confusion "it's like you said, we are not all pure in heart…But,"

Sieg pause for a moment gather his thoughts while remembering what Jeanne had said to him "I have no regrets even if I were to burn in a stake, for that would up bring the future!"

"I still believe in the goodness that is humanity." Was all he come up with.

Hearing what Sieg have said Morgan was just baffle by his words, he still has high regard for human even though they would turn on him one day.

But the sternness she had felt of his words made her complied "If that's your answer, then I have no right to say in it…but know this, do not trust humans that easily."

The words echo through his mind and he wanted to say what it is she meant, was interrupted by the loud sound that is the Robot running its mechanical arm punch through the building, half of the building were detach from whole and came falling down on the ground.


Both joined up with Shirou "Have you make up with each other?" he asked.

Sieg and Morgan turned to each other before answering back to Shirou "You could say that…"

Deciding not to dwell on the case any further, Shirou took a few steps forward with his head tilting the direction to Sieg and Morgan "Well, I'm glad that turn out well."

"What do you say that we put up a show for them to see…?"

Sieg and Morgan looked at each other before nodding their head.

With that agreement from Sieg and Morgan, Shirou gave a smirk before pushing his fist in two "Alright then, let's go and pulverize this thing!"

His confidence was lit up only to be extinguish as Morgan went and voice out "Wait…!"

Shirou shifted his gaze over to Morgan and notices that something was wrong as he had never seen Morgan so tense up before during her time as witch, she studied and train in the art of sensing magic of course by herself to notice the bound field cast by Merlin when she wanted to cause her little sister despair just to satisfied herself.

But her senses were called on once again to help Shirou and Sieg in battle, she focusses the prana into her eyes as she could see a black aura emitting out from the Robot.

Its wasn't as dense as her own but was still could be dangerous as she didn't exactly know what was the source of that aura that was coming from the Robot.

"I see, it's seemed that servant did not just been putting up a show for us…"

"What do you mean?" Shirou asked.

"Well you will know in due time…" She gathers up her thoughts before saying out "All I know is that the Robot has been tempered with to some degree…"

Shirou wanted more information but was stop as Present Mic shouted out "Only less than two minutes left!"

Hearing that, Sieg turn his head and looked at Shirou "Shirou, you should stay put and ensure everyone safety, Morgan and I will take care of the Robot!"

Even though this is only an exam, It's in Shirou nature to prioritize over people over himself, even more so when Morgan said that Robot had been modified, so he decided not to question Sieg "Alright, I'm counting in you!"

With that, he ran over to the examinees while Sieg and Morgan went to face the Robot.

Dust blow around them as the giant Robot moved closer to them, Sieg walked towards the robot as he drew out his sword from the hilt.

Using the hardness of the ground as his springboard, the ground breaks apart and he jump onto the building and ran up while electricity circulates around him. He uses the force of his leg and push himself towards the Robot, smashing the windows apart.

He moves his sword behind his head as he did a full-frontal assault, slashing through the arm as it breaks apart from the its joint and fallen onto the ground.

He slides across the roof to a stop and saw the Robot was launching his left arm at him but was stop by multiple sword as it landed on the Robot body, causing an explosion and knock it a bit back.

Sieg turn his head to direction to see the cause and saw Morgan, raising her hand as she gathers from all the dust to form her swords" Don't let it get to your head, this is only a onetime thing!" she telepathy communicate with him.

Sieg look over to Morgan and smiled "Yeah, you have my gratitude…Morgan le fay."

Everyone just can only look at them with astonishment, they had never seen anyone able stay calm and jump a building story high and even cut through an arm with just a slash.

Once the Robot had fallen on its back, Sieg ran through the roof and jump over the edge, with both hand grabbing tightly on the hilt and the sword pointing down to the Robot, he thrust his sword down to give a final blow, but the Robot optical lens had shine Red, Sieg senses had turn up to the max, indicating that danger is on its way.

His Ruby eyes shifted quickly and saw a mechanical arm was coming for him intending to knock him out, with his reflexes as a servant, he twisted his hand and moving his sword up to his left side of the body to deflect the attack with his whole sword.

The force of its arm pushes him all the way, sending him flying through the air and he landed on the side of the road.

"Ah, so close…"

Sieg eyed at the Robot as he saw it move its wheel to stand up, he can tell that something was a bit off with it "That Robot…it's reflexes is fast." Was this what she meant by different?

But now was not the time to pondered in such thoughts, the Robot had recovered from its downfall and continue onward with its march and it fire out multiple rockets from its arsenal as it was headed towards the group.

Staring as the fast-paced missile heading for the group, Shirou had a few second to anticipate the Rocket from exploding and killing them.


"Eh how!?" An examiner quickly stood up while slamming her hand on the table "we didn't the programmed it to do something like that!"

"This might be bad…" as they look over to the screen in front of them, before turn to the white mouse "What should we do headmaster? Should we cancel the examination?"

The headmaster clasps his finger together as he gathers his thoughts together on the subject at hand, to abort means that it would have delay their current plans for the year student they would select from a few hundred and that would have dire consequences that the media would take advantage of that would ruin the school training of student to best the number one hero.

On other hand, if he were not to cancel, the student would be in great danger and they would have to apologize and to answer why they didn't protect their child. This was a gamble he could not take until a certain person pointed to the screen

"Look… there's someone's fighting it…" he turns and look to a sliver hair guy dress in tuxedo and a women in dress plus a red hair boy fighting it.

Seeing that had already given him the answer, the headmaster spoke in a commanding voice "No, we don't cancel the exam, what would our school be if we didn't give them a challenge…!"

"But…" The examiner wanted to speak up but was stop by the headmaster as he continues on "Besides… there are already peoples trying to destroy it to stop it from hurting the others around them, and that is what our school needs, selfless people like the three of them!" He pointed to Sieg, Shirou and Morgan.

The rest of the examiner kept their thoughts down due to their trust in him "I hope you're right…"


Using the power of Frankenstein, green lighting was flickering through him as he took off in a heartbeat, trying to give chase and cut down the missile that was aiming for the group in front of the Robot, the problem he's currently facing is he was much farther away and have Morgan had time intervene for her to fully construct her swords and launch them towards the Rockets.

The only thing left was to believe in Shirou.

All hope was not lost as Shirou had materialize his black bow in his hand and at the same time, trace out an arrow. he moved his bow forward while resting his arrow on the bow, he pulled out both the arrow and the string for maximum force and aim at the few rockets that were heading for the group.

"I'm going to use your gift, El-Melloi!"

A bunch of the examinees were running away as they were afraid but not a few as Midoriya and the other two looks at Shirou.

Reliving the memories of the skill that he learned during the Archery club and a crash course from Archer in the fifth holy grail war, Shirou took a deep breathe while all the energy had been directed from his body to his arm and focus himself on the task at hand, if he were to miss the shot, that would mean the end of them.

This was something he couldn't allow. So, when the missile were a few meters away from colliding into him, he widens his eyes and let go of the string.

Arrow had been fired from the bow and went straight towards the rocket, causing an explosion in turn gave a chain explosion to the other rockets.

Midoriya and the others just stood there in awe of the event that transpire before them, even though the rocket were tone to slow, they would have panic on sight.

Never have they seen someone so composed lest they encounter a rocket at a speed of light.

Sieg and Morgan had stood beside Shirou "So, what are we going to do about that?" Sieg pointed to the Robot that was coming its way.

The Robot had been tempered enough to keep up with a servant attack, they wouldn't able to slice part by part, they need to settle it in one hit and since El-Meilloi forbid them from using their noble phantasm due to concealing their identity to the enemy which they were already in contact, their only hope was place on Shirou .

Shirou pause to momentarily give out a sigh and look at them "Are you guys alright?" he asked.

The group look at each other and look back at Shirou "Yeah…"

With that one word of assurance, he felt glad to know that none of them was hurt and he can proceed on to the next task at hand which is annihilating the Robot. he then looked at Sieg and Morgan "Don't worry, I have something up my sleeve!"

He dismissed his bow and put his hand out as red lighting crackle around his hand, in his mind he knows which one of the swords to choose from as it was being pull forth into the world from his own reality marble.

"Trace…On!"

A blue light was swirling on top of his hand before a shape of blade with blue and golden markings was form.

He turns and look at the sword before him, he felt nostalgia welling up within him and Morgan was paled in her face as both know all too well with the sword.

It was the sword of the chosen king, Caliburn.

Caliburn was a Rank B+ noble phantasm that doesn't have annihilating attacks like Excalibur or Balmung for that matter, so in which case he can use it freely on the spot.

Looking at the blade, Shirou was reminded of Saber, the one who fought beside him during the fifth holy grail war now back in the throne of heroes.

He smiled unconsciously and grab Caliburn from its position to assimilated on Saber stance.

Golden light begins to glow around its blade and Shirou could feel an immense power transferring to him from Caliburn.

He still needed time for him to awaken Caliburn, but luck was not on his side as the few missiles were already aiming towards him.

With missile heading for him, he fears for the worse until Morgan and Sieg came in while doing a synchronize cross slash on the missile before separating from each other to deal with the others.

Once all the missile was destroyed, they ran back to Shirou and he happen to notice Morgan face darkened with bitter eyes when he knows that Caliburn was in front of her eyes.

"Err…this is…" He fidgets his upper body while holding onto caliburn as any words he said would have anger Morgan but she turn around with her dress in front of him and gaze at the Robot "Later we'll have a talk about this, but right now we got a machine to stop."

"Is that sword ready for battle?" Sieg asked as the Robot had been closing on them bit by bit.

Shirou stare at the sword for any sign that it's ready, but sadly it did not as golden light was still accumulating energy "Not yet, I still need a bit more time!"

"Then…" Sieg and Morgan stood in front of him with their swords pointing to the ground, Sieg shouted out to him "We'll buy you as much as time you need, just concentrate on complete control of the sword!"

"Alright!"

The ground broke apart as Sieg and Morgan did a flash step all the way until they were close to its core armor and they kept hacking and slashing the armor away with gravity pushing them down from the top to the bottom.

When they had reached the bottom, the robot had activated its self-defense system and land a punch on the ground, forcing the two to jump upward.

Since its reflexes system were improved, after a solid hit on the ground, the Robot use it long distance arm and push it up towards Sieg and Morgan.

Had they been a second too late to block the punch with their swords, they certainly would suffer an incredible amount of damage done to them.

They were falling to the ground, but Morgan was quick enough summon her row of dust sword and at the same time, fire them in mid-air, causing an explosion on the core metal.

When the explosion clears out, the group could not believe what they just saw, there were no scratches or rust on the Robot core, only stainless steel.

Morgan clicked her tongue.

Shirou understood clearing what his role was, to activate Caliburn and launch a decisive attack against the Robot, the only problem is that he have to supply his mana to Morgan and Sieg and that slowed down the mana surge to the sword, on the bright side, they weren't using any high power skill so he was grateful for that.

he only could hope that Sieg and Morgan distracting the Robot would give him enough time.

Even though it was temper until it can withstand a sword, it was not indestructible, and it was quite caution with Shirou at the back as its lens could see the danger lie in Caliburn.

Not wanting a situation like that again, the Robot open its missile arsenal inside it and the group was horrified by it.

"No way…!"

"Are you kidding me!?"

"T-this isn't possible…"

"That many!?"

"How are we gonna avoid it?'

The Robot internal structure had lay out with missile hole as many as thirty missiles could be loaded up and fire at the same time, killing everything living thing and non-included.

Feeling the tension in the air, Morgan call out to Shirou "Is it ready yet!?"

"Almost…!" Shirou shouted staring at Caliburn as it shows off it signs of activating when the golden light had stabilized itself within the sword, Morgan saw this before turning back to the fully armed Robot

"Then hurry up, I don't know if Sieg and I could cut through all the missile!"

There was a stalemate between the two sides for a while until the Robot fired off all thirty missiles as once, it was its ultimate trump card against them.

Once the missile was at a distance away from its shooter, Morgan using the limits of her mana, summon out her dust sword and shot them instantly at the rocket.

Both the sword and the missile collided, and an explosion occur.

Once the explosion clears out, Sieg charge forward and slice the remainder of missile as fast as he can to prevent from hitting Shirou, but one had fled past him and was a few meters away hitting Shirou.

"Shirou, Master!" Both Morgan and Sieg call out.

"Tch, faster…" The words echoed in his mind and Midoriya saw this recalled the time Shirou had talked to him "You have greatest aspect of being the hero, that's why All Might chose you!"

There is absolutely no need for you put yourself in danger for others.

Before he knew, he instinctively ran forward and using the Quirk passing on to him by All Might, a light color and red veins materialized on his legs, giving him the power to defy gravity.

But that why's…

for it to shine brightly…

Everyone including Shirou, Sieg and Morgan had jolted up at what did Midoriya just did.

and rises to the surface.

Midoriya pulled his arm back to further away then he could to maximize his force and clenched his fist tightly with the same light that had appear on his leg now appear on his hand, his sleeve rip out and the light extended to the whole arm.

He was floating until he was at the range of missile.

Squeeze your buttocks…

and yell this inside your heart—(They both said in unison)

"Smash…!"

With that war cry, he launches his one for all arm into the missile, denting the metal back until the missile exploded in front of him.

Everyone was speechless with their mouth open wide.

All Might smile "That's right. It rises to the surface—the most important qualification of a hero—The spirit of self-sacrifice!"

His arm was badly injured until the point that it was purple in color and thoughts echoed in his mind "The conditions are the same as I save Kacchan and when Shirou had save me from that sludge villain."

"But it's different. This time—" Midoriya was hovering around the air for a while until he realizes that he was falling to certain death on the ground.

He was out of his mind to think that he survives a fall so high, that is until Sieg came to save from him by jumping from building to buliding and caught him in a princess carries "You have done well, now you can leave it to Shirou…!"

They landed on the roof of the building and lay Midoriya down as he had sustain major injuries from using One For all Power .

Sieg then turn and look at Shirou and smile as he notices that the golden light was calm around Caliburn as he knew that Shirou had managed to awaken Caliburn.

Shirou saw the soothing light on Caliburn, he knew that it would be time unleash its true power. He walks past Morgan and stood in front of the Robot with both his hand gripping on the hilt, he slides his feet out and move his hand on top of his head with Caliburn pointing to the sky.

In the past it was in her sister hand, but now her master Shirou was the one wielding the sword of choosing king, enragement was filling up inside her but had been push to one side because later she would talk to him about projecting out her hatred sword.

But now there were more concerning matter attend to like obliterating the obstacle that was coming after the group.

"Shirou, don't you dare leave a single piece of that Robot around, not while you hold that accursed sword in your hands!"

Receiving what look like to be a compliment but with a bit of hatred from Morgan, Shirou nodded and proceed on with his task at hand.

Within the sword brings out victory…

A King will unify the country to one…

Call out its name and it will be granted to you!

A voice echoes in his mind, as he called out its true name…

"Cali-Burn!"

Hearing its true name, the sword releases of ray of light as he swings the sword in an arc.

The beam travel across the distance and pierce through the Robot core. Once the beam died down, a hole was seen in the middle which cause a chain explosion all around the Robot as it fell to the ground.

Shirou dismissed Caliburn and turned around to look at the others before fainting on the spot as he had exhausted the remaining mana in his magic circuit and using a noble phantasm was quite taxing on his body, not before Morgan caught him "You did good out there master…now you can rest."

With that reassurance from Morgan, Shirou fell asleep on her lap.
