Chapter 9

Silence was in the air as everyone participating in the examination saw Shirou laying on Morgan legs, sleeping peacefully.

Although he has extra magic circuit from when Alaya and Gaia had passed the seal to him, calling out Caliburn and invoking its special move had really drain his mana reserve at a fast rate, causing his magic circuit to burn out and making him pass out.

Morgan stare at Shirou dormant face with her hands place at either side of his face, she waited for him to wake up, so she can ask him about Caliburn.

Watching his tranquilized face with his nose draw in breath every time his chest inflated by a bit, Morgan was unconsciously mesmerized by his innocent face and his red hair for quite a while by then realizing on her own, she was lace with red markings on her cheeks.

She immediately turns her head to the side and was having a conversation with her thoughts "No, No, No, I am the vengeance witch Morgan, I don't have any feelings for him…!"

"But…" She had doubts about her own emotions since the time she cast everything away just to get revenge on her sister for having everything, all the more possible when her sister master is her master right now and she will make sure to take him by force.

"Yes, that's it…" She nodded her head "And whether he like it or not, I will make sure to get everything about how he traced Caliburn out even if he is my master!"

She confidently agreed with herself and waited for him to wake up.


Sieg was seen with Midoriya on one of the buildings rooftops as he sat down and waited for Midoriya to recover, he wanted be at Shirou side when he collapse, but he wasn't as selfish enough to leave an injured person on his own.

he had to leave it up to Morgan to take care of him while he waited for Midoriya injury to ease up a bit so he can transport him to the bottom.

When Sieg turn and look at Midoriya, he happens see Midoriya put a hand over both his eyes with his broken hand resting on the ground but also noticed tears falling down his cheeks.

"I have failed him…I have failed All Might…" Midoriya seem be talking to himself and Sieg literally have no idea whether comfort him or just let him be.

"I did not accumulate any points for the whole duration of the exam…now I won't be accepted into U.A high school."

"Maybe, it like everyone in my school says…I'm quirk less and will not reach my dream of becoming a hero."

Fed up with hearing his non-stop complains, Sieg sigh and have decide on one of his two decision, he walk and sat down beside him with his left hands on his left knee "That's not true…"

He diverted his sorrow away which it worked as Midoriya hearing Sieg words took his hand away his eyes and look at him.

"Eh, what do you mean?"

He went on to explain "This school is known for training student like you to become a Pro hero, right?"

Midoriya slightly nodded his head, giving Sieg approval to continue "If the exam is designed just to search and destroy enemies in sight, then was the point was of even letting out a huge Robot in the first place?"

Even though he did not know the exam was about, but he still had a hunch was something they are not telling examination that the examiner had whipped up "I suspect there is an extra set of points where they graded on the ones killing and the ones saving…"

Midoriya in turn was shock at the news that Sieg had explained to him about, he did not even think about it and this guy managed to figure something out.

He wanted to ask how he break it down but was stop as Sieg said again while standing up and put his sheath sword at his waist.

"But well, this is just my speculation…you can ask All Might later… but right now I need to get you down from here."

"Eh?" Midoriya eyes dilated and wanted protest that he doesn't need help, but Sieg wouldn't take no for an answer so he lifted Midoriya up quickly and carry him before jumping off the rooftop.


Once they reach the bottom, Sieg with Midoriya on his hand ran up to the group where he put Midoriya down before making his way to Morgan and Shirou.

"Is Shirou alright!?" Sieg asked as he kneel beside the two.

Morgan assured him that Shirou is well and is recovering from using too much of his mana reserve to launch a noble phantasm, even more so when he simultaneous is supplying mana to the both of them. Sieg breath out in relief "Thank goodness…"

The events that transpiring in front of them seem like a dream, but also was real to them as their eyes did not deceive them.

They could not speak a word and only clench their fist in defeat especially to Shirou and Midoriya.

It was only a sound from above that broke them out of their stare at the two as Present Mic checking the time on his watch shouted out from the rooftop "Time's up!" he did a pose to show off and an alarm had been sounded through out the battle centers to signify the end of the exam.

With the exam finish, everyone who had been watching the fight was gathering around the four.

One guy walks forward and arch his back to the front with his hands on his knees "Thank you…for saving us from that Robot."

The other guys who saw the fight was itching to say their thoughts as they interrupted the guy by pushing him to the side "You guys are amazing; I have never seen such fights in my life!"

"That speed…power, how did you do that...!?"

One of the girls arches her back towards them "Hey, what Quirk did you guys have?"

That question threw them off as they stare at the revelation that had put before them. Usually Shirou or El-meilloi ll would be the one to give them an anonymous answer due to swearing secrecy of magic in this world but Shirou was still asleep and El-Meilloi ll couldn't possibly enter the exam site, so they had think of a response fast, that is until one of the guys help.

"You didn't see it with your own eyes…? That sliver hair boy and black hair boy have a reinforcement type Quirk that enhance their body and the blonde hair lady and red hair boy have projection Quirk that allow creation, isn't it!?"

They all turn and look with fascination while waiting for their reply.

Although it was not quite the answer they were hoping for, but it was still far better than setting them on a wild goose chase by giving them a long explanation.

"Y-yeah…!" there was a hint of quiver in their voice, but they couldn't care less as they were quite content after what they had seen during the battle.

"Anyways, there's no mistaking that they are an astonishing bunch."

The man who was seen talking to Midoriya before was in the back clenched his fist "They're missing the point. Didn't they see?"

He narrowed his eyes at them "They knew…that something was wrong when the Robot shot out missile at us."

"The exam was not set to hurt people and they had already accumulated enough points for them to get into U.A…"

"Even so, they did not hesitate at all to save us!" He recalled when Shirou shot the arrow at the missile to save them and when Midoriya went to smash the rocket to protect Shirou.

He clenched his fist while body was fidgeting with enragement of his failures "If we had not been in an exam…"

But instead of drowning himself in sorrow, he gritted his teeth and look up as he made a resolution to himself "…Of course, I would have done the same!"

As his thoughts converge in him, he came to a realization as Sieg did "Wait. "Exam" …? "of course…?" He put his finger on his chin "Wait a minute."

He was interrupted as an old lady dressed in a lab coat was walking with a thermometer stick "Okay, good work."

"Good work, good work." She put out her hand as a boy reach with his hand, she let her hand out with some sweets dropping onto his hand "Here you go. Here are some gummies. Eat some gummies."

The boy bowed in courtesy and placed both his hand on the sweets his receive "Thanks."

"Yes, yes, you, too." She walked to another guy and hand out her gummies "Thanks…"

A yellow hair guy winked his eyes and pointed his fingers at her "That mademoiselle is the backbone of U.A"

he said as She walks towards Shirou resting on Morgan lap and as Sieg was beside Midoriya. She stood in front of Midoriya first, she scans through him with his body being like a worn-out rack "Oh dear, you were hurt this much by your own Quirk?"

"It's as if his body is not used to his Quirk yet." She thought.

Her Quirk was activating with her lips being push out like girl trying to get a force kissed from a guy even thought he refuse.

To everyone surprise being Morgan the most, her lips were stretch out to the fullest until it touches Midoriya "Kiss…!"

"Wh-what was that?" a guy asked.

"U.A. High's licensed school nurse…the youthful Heroine, Recovery Girl!" as she unstretched her lips, a green light glowed on Midoriya injury, the burnt skins were going back to the normal skins color and bones on the legs were twisted back to its original position

"Her Quirk is super-activation of healing ability. U.A. can only go through with such a reckless exam because of her."

Once Midoriya were back to one piece, she moved on to Shirou, that is if Morgan were to allow her.

Recovery girl had already activated her Quirk, but she couldn't enter as bloodlust filled the air was coming from one person and one person only… Morgan.

"Don't touch him…!" her words felt smooth but had an icy tone to it and her eyes was fill with murderous intent.

Her jealously got the better of she and she couldn't just let another girl even more an old lady kiss him in the cheek.

Shirou is her property.

No one can take him away.

Not while she is around.

And she will lead him to utter ruin.

Only Sieg seem to notice the ferocity from Morgan and intervened by placing his hand on Recovery Girl shoulder "Don't worry, Shirou will recover by himself… in the meantime, why don't you get started on the others first?"

he hope that she would get his hint, cause if she didn't, hell would break out and there was no stopping Morgan from killing her and everyone else.

Recovery Girl hesitated before moving on past Shirou and Morgan taking up on his offer "Let's finish this quickly. Is anyone else injured?" Sieg breath out in relief, at least he averted a crisis from happening.

He shifted his gaze at Morgan before moving to her side, putting his hand on his waist and decided that anything he said would be detrimental to Morgan, instead he gave a safe reply "So…how are you going to wake Shirou up without Recovery Girl healing Factor?"

"That's easy…" She replied while running her hand through Shirou hair "We will only need to do one thing…"

"And that is…?" Sieg wanted to know what the current solution would be, only to be ignored as she seals her mouth tight.

A hollow smile was form on her face. she been focus solely on Shirou alone.

Staring at her smile like that, Sieg could not help but worry about Shirou but that's but that's a problem Shirou will have to deal with later.

In the meantime, Sieg turn and saw Recovery Girl done with her treatment with the others.


The next day…

Shirou blink a few times he looks up into the unpigmented ceiling.

With the sunlight shining on his face, he could not help but wonder what had happen to the others while he was out of commission and whether is this real or some illusion conjured by some magus.

In the end, he decided it would be best to tackle the current situation head on than sitting here and doing nothing.

But before he can do that, there was just another problem he needed to solve, possible bigger than getting information on where he was.

In the corner of his eyes, he depicted Morgan and Rin snuggling on each side of his arm and even worse they were wide awake and staring at him.

He closes his eyes and pretend to be asleep thinking it would an illusion, but it backfires as it only serves to aggravate them further.

Rin forehead had darkened, her eyes were glaring at him with an acute rate and Morgan was the same.

They wanted to give him a piece of their mind for avoiding them and only they know how was to make him face reality.

Rin flooded her magic circuit in her hand with mana and crackling sound was heard from Morgan hand as she conjured electricity on her in his pretend sleep, Shirou was sweating all around his body trying to think of best way to explain to them that is if he had enough time to survive the attacks from both.

Thud*

"Gaaaaahhhh!"


Sieg, El-Meilloi and Gray was in the living room with Sieg distributing his information to El-Meilloi ll about their encounter with Archer of Shinjuku, a servant whose master was unknown.

"I see…" El-Meilloi replied while putting his hand on his chin before asking another question "So where did this servant went off to?"

Sieg didn't tell him the part that they had to stop Morgan from unleashing her noble phantasm, slaughtering everyone.

Instead he told him this "I don't know, we hope to give chase, but the examinee had seen us, so we couldn't do much."

Hearing Sieg answer, El-Meilloi ll cross his finger and putting his chin on his hand, trying to formulate a plan for such situation in the future.

As Sieg and Gray was waiting for El-Meilloi ll, a door was creaked open and the two saw Shirou, Rin and Morgan walking towards them "Ah, you're u-p?"

both Sieg and Gray were puzzled to see Shirou being so beaten up even after having rested for one day.

He sat in the middle with Rin and Morgan on each side.

"What happen to you, Shirou?" Gray asked.

"Please, don't ask…" Shirou weakly told her while Sieg concern with his master well-being browse through the three and saw Rin and Morgan smiling weirdly at him, with fierce aura surrounding the two. With that episode, he perceived quite briefly for what happen to him.

Sieg gesture for Gray come closer to him so he can whisper in her ear "I think Shirou might have done something done to provoke them, look."

Gray look at them and had the same conclusion as Sieg" Well, Shirou is dense after all, it's a wonder how he survives all this while."

That had struck him in the heart, and he wanted to cry out but now wasn't the time, he had to fulfill a promise to Morgan.

He shifted his head to her side "Morgan, you wanted to ask me about Caliburn?"

She nodded her head in agreement "Yes…How did you manage to bring out that cursed blade even though you never seen it before?" she spoke sternly to him.

Everyone looked to him for an explanation and Rin knowing full well about Shirou history with Saber just stay quiet.

This was between Shirou and Morgan. Of course, she known about this, it was Sieg that divulge the report to her in the first place, she could only worry about him.

Cursed Blade? Since when Caliburn is a cursed blade? Ah I see…Shirou paused to think about the choice of words she used.

He answers her question "When Sa-your sister was my servant and comrade," he had to add that to prevent Morgan from thinking otherwise "Sometime, in my dreams, I saw in her memories pulling out the sword in the stone and when I asked her about it, she told me that was Caliburn…I guess I might have memorize it unconsciously." Shirou had a feeble smile on his face and his hand was on his hair.

He looks up into the ceiling and clearly Morgan knew what was going inside his brain and didn't like it. She snaps her finger to get Shirou out of his trance.

Once he had been brought to reality, Shirou turn to look at Morgan shifting her head from him "Ah, sorry Morgan…I didn't mean to bring up bad memories."

"It's okay…" Morgan pouted in displeasure unbeknownst to Shirou who was clueless. Even more so for Rin, with Shirou focus on all his attention on Morgan.

she unleashes a curse blast at him which Shirou knew instinctively, he projected a blade to deflect the attack.

"What was that for, Rin!?" Shirou shouted dematerializing the blade he holds.

"Heh, you still have not lost your touch."

"You…" Shirou can only sighed as he knew when Rin gets like this, it usually means that first, she wanted attention from him or second, some magic is at work, controlling her. He knew it was not the latter but the first.

That's the only current explanation for her behavior is "Oh I see…so that's why she is acting like this."

Shirou then proceed to hug Rin from her sides "I'm sorry Rin, for neglecting you all this time."

That had brought her to tears "Shirou you idiot…you're always dense in this."

"I know…"

As Shirou was hugging Rin, he could feel someone clinging to him from the back and when he turns his head to see, lo and behold it was Morgan.

"Please don't leave me…" he knew that from Morgan memories, she was neglected by the people of Britain who had turn their affection onto Saber and she had sought to get revenge on her.

With the veil taken out, he saw her innocent face and thought it was cute, he patted on her head and telling her he won't abandon her for no good reason.

With that sentence, she felt happy and put her head on his back.

"Now I have two people to look after…" he thought to himself.

Sieg and Gray could just the stare at the sights in bliss, but now is not the time as El-Meilloi interrupted them "I hate to break your bonding time, but now we should focus on the next task at hand, locating the Holy Grail."

With that, everyone got serious and El-Meilloi ll went to voice out" Since the exam had ended, perhaps it's time to we go to the mountain in Musutafu."

"Why there?" Sieg asked "And even more where did you find all this information from?"

He has a valid point, and everyone turn and waited El-Meilloi answer "From information gathering and the television of course…"

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised including Gray who been his apprentice for the past few years, she knew he would gather information from everyone the city, but she had never seen him use a television before up till now "What…I'm the one who use modern mage craft, can't I know about a television?"

"No…it just that in your room, you use books for your leisure, and you don't even own a television." Gray spoke out blankly.

"Well, your half right to say that I don't even know how to operate a television… I accidentally step on the on button and the television just turn on."

Hearing El-Meilloi, both Shirou and Rin couldn't really complain about it, the Clock tower was secluded from the modern technologies to preserve their magic after it decline from the age of gods.

But still, to accidentally turn on it was the funniest thing to do as it got Rin and Morgan lying on the floor with their hands trying to muffle their laughter.

Shirou had a tough time calming them down and Gray gave an eh face. Apparently El-Melloi ll could hear the sound from the two and it got into his head, his face was twitching in anger "Are you done!?"

Sieg being the only reasonable one here put his hand on his chin "I see… so what did you find in the news?"

El-meilloi ll then continue on "From the information I have gather over the day and the television news, there was a huge fire spotted on the base of the mountain and a two lady, both clad in armor but one had a white flag bearing a dragons symbol and one was with a jet black sword was seen in the middle of the fire."

Everyone stop fooling around and El-Meilloi had saw the seriousness in their face, they knew the significant of a servant rampaging through the city and how devastating it is for the innocent if they were to come across them.

"I only know some of the details…we need go immediately at the scene of the crime to check if what they say are true."

"Alright." With that, Shirou and others got ready and headed out of the hotel and El-Meilloi took out a tome from his sleeve and chant a spell that immediately teleport them at the city of Musutafu japan as the distance was way too far for them to cover just by only using flash step.

A magic circle appears at the entrance of U.A and Shirou and the others came out from it, the next things they knew, a fire was seen over by the mountains of U.A and they immediately ran past the school and into the mountains.
