Encounters

Ritsuka PoV

?

That night something strange and life changing happens. I woke up in a strange place. The walls were made out of blue velvet material, except for one wall that was a prison cell door with the bars. All my night clothes were changed to classic prisoner robes with the white and black colours even with a steel ball chained to my leg. I thought at the time that the situation must be a nightmare, my worst fears since the trial was happening, I was a prisoner.

The sound of a chuckle made me look towards the door, where two girls appeared from each side of the door. They look so similar that it is kind of obvious that they were twins, same white hair, same height, the only differences were how they tied their hairs, which eye was covert with their eyepatch and the words in their hats. It was funny that the word "OXYMORON" is formed when combining the hats.

The girls open up a little, allowing me to see the last person in the room, the weirdest one. An elderly man sitting at a desk, with pointy ears and bloodshot eyes and a large, LARGE pointy nose. He made me feel insecure with his presence and the ever standing grin. "Trickster...welcome to my velvet room." Said the creepy old man.

"So you've come to, Inmate" Says the first one "The you in really is only sleeping. You are only experiencing this as a dream. " Said the last of the twins in the creepy twin way of talking, I know it because Akane and I had so much fun doing it.

"You're in the presence of our master. Stand up straight!" Said the rude one.

"Welcome, I am delighted to make your acquaintance. This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. It is a room that only those who are bound by a "contract" may enter." Said the old man. I got more confused with each word he said.

"I am Igor, the master of this place. Remember it well." Well I guess I could stop calling him creepy old man. "I summoned you to speak of important matters. It involves your life as well."

"Important matters? what are you talking about?" I ask with hope to get more information, without info I can't make a thoughtful choice

Igor decided to ignore me and look around. "Still this is a surprise… The state of this room reflects the state of your own heart. To think a prison would appear as such. You truly are a "prisoner" of fate." Fate? I didn't really believe in fate, I do believe that each person could build their paths in their lives. "In the near future there is no mistake that ruin awaits you." Igor said while making me uncomfortable.

"Ruin? What kind of ruin are you talking about?" I asked while I got tense about the whole situation. Igor noticed that clearly "Haha worry not. There is a means to oppose such a fate. You must be "rehabilitated." Rehabilitated toward freedom...That is your only means to avoid ruin… Do you have the resolve to challenge the distortion of the world?" Said Igor cryptically.

"...Wait what?" That sounds difficult, challenging the world. "Allow me to observe the path of your rehabilitation."

Then the twins change their posture a little and they stand at my front. Igor then introduces them, the rude one with the eyepatch at her right eye is Caroline and the other is Justine. They are my warden in this weird metaphysic cell that would help me in my rehab. Then an alarm sounded in the Velvet room and I went back to reality.

I woke up early in the morning still thinking about the strange dream I had...Ruin...Rehabilitation.

Sojiro came some minutes later to take me to my new school to officialize my transfer. He is wearing some casual clothes from the 80's, I have to admit it, he has style. This is the only time that Sojiro will take me to school, one it's in Aoyama district, and two Sojiro has a business to keep.

Shujin Academy

...How? How can he breathe when I can't see his neck!? When we enter the office I never saw this coming, my new director can be described as prideful, rude and...fat. Standing next to him there was a woman, my homeroom teacher Miss Kawakami. She looks tired and hopeless about the situation. I understand, the criminal child goes to your class and that is troublesome.

Both of them told me over and over again that if I cause some kind of trouble I will be kicked out. The only thing that made this a little less annoying was the pink thing that Kawakami tried to hide very quickly.

After the inscription we were walking back to the car when Sojiro brought a hand on top of his stomach, "I know that girl likes instant noodles but it is really necessary to have so many weird flavours." Says Sojiro to himself. "Hey boy, can you wait for me for a moment? I need to use a toilet" Giving no time to reply, Sojiro hurried up inside the school while I sat on the entrance's stairs.

I checked my phone to pass time and I found that weird app again. Not wanting a virus I erased the app again hoping that won't come back. I decided then to read some news while listening to some music.

After a few minutes I felt like someone was talking to me. Taking off my headphones and looking up and I saw her, a foreigner with a white hair, golden eyes, fine clothes and a pissed expression on her face.

"It's about time, I was asking you a question and you ignored me! One second later and you would receive a slap." Says the girl with anger and a tone of superiority.

"I am sorry! I was distracted, what can I do for you?" I said with my best tone of sorry and offered to repay my "mistake". That usually works to calm the people with a big ego and easy to anger.

"At least the peasant knows modals" She said to herself. "Alright because you say sorry too quickly I will allow this pass, I hope this does not happen again" She threath me and I nod "Good, now, can you be useful and tell me if this school is Shujin Academy?"

"Umm yes, this is Shujin Academy, are you an exchange student?" I ask to satisface my curiosity. "Yes, my name is Olga Marie Animusphere, I come from England" Olga answered with a very proud pose.

"That's nice, I am Ritsuka Fujimaru. I am a transfer student to this school. I guess we are both the new ones, I hope we can be acquaintances" I said with my best smile and hung out my hand. Of course I won't tell her about the conditions of my transfer.

"It seems so… Very well, I will need someone to carry my books and tell me about the local traditions." She says while she takes my hand.

Mash POV

"I can't believe it, you met the Director Animusphere for four years ago in the land of Japan!?" Say shooked Doctor Roman. It is a little surprise now because Director Olga's reactions seeing senpai and how well coordinated they were in battle, it is impossible they didn't meet before.

"But there is still a question, why? A traditional european magus would laugh if they suddenly were told that they need to be in a "backwater country" as they call it." Deduce Da Vinci with a sound logic. Emiya and Artoria both nodded to that, but Emiya was a little quiet during the story, even though he looks more interested in senpai for a reason.

"What the European magi tend to forget is that Asia, specifically China and Japan has more or less the same age of magecraft history." Says Hinako-senpai giving more information. She is right, Japan even has a mage that is well known around the globe, Abe no Semei, and in modern times there are those two sisters that have a conflict so big that is well known inside the Mage Association if what Ophelia-san told me once is true.

"Yeah that's right, before that year i would laugh too. But… but…" Olga says but stops in the middle, like if she is debating about telling the info or not.

"It is ok Olga, I don't think anyone would laugh or think less of you talking about a moment of weakness, I trust you, and do not forget that." Senpai speaks up and gives confidence to Olga.

Olga smiles "You are still being a fool Ritsuka, but a fool that I know to trust in him. Very well, I will tell you about how Olga Marie Animusphere, at the time heir of the Animusphere family, made her best and worst decision in her life." She said with a certain confidence even forgetting about the pride the magi ever had. I am sitting comfortably to hear the story of my first friend, Director Olga.

Author Note:

Sorry for taking so much in a short chapter, my college is killing me and I have little to no time to continue this story. I hope I can go faster to the nexts chapters. And also want to make a little fate reference with the first encounter in the original FGO between Ritsuka and Olga.
