I would like to thank aliblackfire3 for been the beta of this chapter and the great support and help that provided to this this story.
By the way it seen that the second season of mahouka koukou no rettousei will be aired this year.
It was the next day of the events that had amazed and terrified the world, when two unknown magicians of the strategic class fought against each other's with the clear intention of killing each other.
That event happened last night, it was already in the front page of every newspaper on the planet, and there were special programs with guest invited to provide their opinion about the recent events. Even if those guests had no idea of what happened.
But on the other side the entire world had just saw how two swords that they believe be part of legends actually exist and that their destructive powers were very real.
So far the only official announcement from the government was that the nine school competition would continue to show that they would not be intimidated by terrorist, but that they will increase the security of the event.
And so the competition continued, but the mind of everyone's were on what happened yesterday, evidence of that was that everyone was talking about that.
"Did you saw that?!"
"Excalibur! The dream of all sword masters to use and we saw it in action"
"That gloomy woman even said something about Merlin! Can you believe it, Merlin!"
"Do you think that he was real?"
"I would say that if that sword was really Excalibur; then Merlin had to be real, but we will need to confirm that and the only way that I know for that is if that man to show up again"
"That was not just any man; he was The Phantom Blade, one of the heroes of Okinawa"
"Yes, and the other heroines were there too, The Nature Sage, The Queen of Light and The Jewel Sorceress, they are back"
Those were the conversations that could be heard all over the school, the students were more excited Then afraid of what had just happened.
"We better be ready for anything," said a new voice that all the presents recognize as Juumonji Katsuto, the representative of the Juumonji Clan.
"What do you mean?" asked one of the students
"The last time that they show up was to prevent a military invasion on the island of Okinawa, the fact that they had shown up again could means that a new danger in close. Besides just because we share an enemy it does not means that we are allies, and until they tell us their intentions we better keep our guard up"
Moreover, the talks between students continued. But in a special suite on the penthouse of the hotel, a more serious meeting was taking place.
"Gentlemen, I had a nice talk with the prime minister and he told me that he had spent the last two hours explaining to the British prime minister that we do not know if the sword that was used last night was the real Excalibur and that we had no idea about who those people could be that had shown up last night. I believe that unlike the events of Okinawa were we could keep in secret the extent of the powers of those warriors by controlling the records of the battle, this time we will not had the same luck and we need to find answers and this time we cannot fail" said Kudou Retsu.
"Do we had any clue about them?" asked Mayor Kazama.
"No, it is just like the last time." Said the LT Kyouko. "They just appeared and disappear like the last time"
"That take us to the next point" said LT Shigero. "The way that they did it. I had studied the records of the fight many times and I can say that the way that they appeared and disappear was not move magic and not an invisible coat, so I wonder how they did it?" said with an enigmatic voice that the presents that knew him could tell that he already had a theory.
"Could you go right to the point" said the Cap Muraji.
"Always so serious don't you? Ok, I believe that what we saw was a teleportation spell and depending on the range of that spell it could be useless try to find them in this country" said LT Shigero.
"Are you sure about that? Many people had said that that spell is impossible to create" said Mayor Kousuke.
"Many things that we believe impossible had become a reality in the last few years, so we can discard that possibility" LT Kyouko.
"That is true, we can't allow our own ideas to cloud our judgment" said Kudou Retsu.
"If the teleportation spell is real, then how can we do something about them? Because I saw that the two groups could use it" said Cap Muraji.
"And that leads us to the big question, who they are?" asked Mayor Kazama.
"So far we only identified the group that helped us at Okinawa, other than that we know nothing" said LT Kyouko
"What about those people of Avalon Tech? I cannot be the only one that found strange that elements of the legend of Camelot like Excalibur and Merlin are on the same country that had an international company with the name of Avalon" said Mayor Kousuke.
"There are over a hundred companies and business with that name, also about two years ago they published the story about how the company was founded in their magazine, Mirage, it also explains how the name was chosen. It appears that it was Irisviel von Einzbern the one that chose the name based on her favorite book as a kid, the once and future king; and because the money to make the company come from her, well the rest is history." LT Kyouko, Kyouko did not mentioned but she was a great fan of that magazine and she even had subscription.
"So we can erase them from the suspect list?" asked SGT. Tateoka
"I knew Emiya Kiritsugu when we served together, even as a Thaumaturgy user he was a great fighter and an excellent engineer, but he had not the level necessary to do what we saw in both occasions, the battle of Okinawa and last night" said Kazama.
"But what about the seats of Avalon?" asked Cap Muraji.
"They keep their identities as a close secret, they said that is to protect them and to be honest I can't blame them for that, there are many countries out there that would send special forces teams to capture them if they knew who they are, besides their main researches are focus on improving agriculture and reforestation, medical developments and new industries that use magic outside the military field, so it would not made any sense if they develop those magics and keep them in secret" said LT Shigero.
"We can talk all day and with no prove all will be speculation, what we need to do now is focus on the security for the rest of the games and see if we can get any new information, I will meet with Mayor Kazama tomorrow at this time to see what new information you manage to acquire" said Kudou Retsu.
And with that the meeting was over, at least for now.
But that was not the only meeting that was happening, and on the same topic not less. But that didn't stop the Nine School Competition that now had more security.
Therefore, we can see how the competitors and engineers were getting ready for the next competitions. One of them was Emiya Tatsuya that even if he was working with great diligence, his mind was absent, remembering what had just happened the last night when the secret about his birth and origin was revealed.
Flashback
"Look we need to make a few very important choices that can't wait for our future" said Kiritsugu.
"Dad, moms I believe that for the moment we will pause all our research work while we focus all our efforts to increase our battle capacities" said Illya.
"What about the classes?" asked Mayumi.
"We are about a couple of weeks to the end of the school year and from the beginning we told them that our time in the school will be limited" answered Rin, the true was that they had taken a liking to teach but with the current situation the priorities has changed.
"We know that while facing a servant we are limited to middle to long range attacks, but if they manage to get close, and I am sure that they will be able to do that, we will be in serious troubles" said Illya.
"We need to focus on our current weakness and develop techniques and strategies that can helps us to survive" said Rin
"But how we can do that?" asked Tatsuya.
"By facing the only one of us that is on a level similar to a servant" said Sakura as she, Rin and Illya turned to see Shirou.
"Do you know what you are asking me to do?" said a serious Shirou.
"Yes my love, but if we want to survive and had a future together there is no other choice, you had to force us to the limit and fight to the same level as a servant to give us the experience that can mean the difference between life and dead" said Sakura.
Shirou remained in silent considering what they were asking him, after a few moments he give a nod.
"We know that Shirou is strong because the fight that we just saw, but by the way that you are reacting it seems that there is something else" said Mayumi.
"That is because no one of them were serious, they were just testing their powers" was the immediate answer of Rin.
"You mean that none of them were fighting seriously?" said a surprised Kouichi.
"When Shirou destroy the fleet from the GAA, he didn't use the half of his powers and over the years he had become stronger, and about today's fight, with the knowledge that there was another servant out there he didn't want to use his full power in case that Gilgamesh show up again, so he only use what he believes was necessary to defeat Saber and keep enough power for another fight, Saber probably did the same, but it looks that both of them miscalculated" answered Illya.
The power that the young man had just shown them was without precedents and yet that wasn't his full power, and out there were seven people that could face him on the same level. It was with this revelation that the real picture of what they will face was terrifyingly real for all those presents and a feeling of fear began to grow in their hearts.
But in the hearts of Miya and Maya this had a deeper meaning, because they now knew the true magnitude of the danger that Tatsuya will face in the future if he stays with the Emiya and while the danger was part of the life of all the people that were destined to be born inside the masters clans, no one had ever face a danger of the level of mystical magic that is beyond their current level or any of the masters clans.
But when Miya saw the determination in Tatsuya eyes, she knew that her son had made his mind and he will stand with the Emiya in the upcoming battle and after seeing the level of the enemies that they will faces, all her motherly instincts that she had worked very hard to keep under control since she chose to leave him when he was a little kid and they had been fighting to emerge since he appeared again in her life made her broke her hard mask and said the words that she had suppressing for years.
"This is enough! Tatsuya it is time to end all this and return home!" said Miya surprising Maya and Miyuki, to not mention the others presents.
Those words took Tatsuya by surprise, he had never expected to hear that coming from her but after a moment, he reacted.
"I believed that you are confused Miya-san, I am already in my home, with my family" said Tatsuya trying to keep his cool. While all the presents that knew about Tatsuya relationship with the Yotsuba, tensed while the ones that had no idea began to get curious.
"Stop this please, I know that you are mad, and I will find a way to made it up to you, but that can't happen if you are dead!, so please come home, I promise that this time it will be different"
"What made you believe that I will do what you said?" Tatsuya was getting mad by each second that passed; he could not believe how that woman dare to pretend that she cares for him after all that had happened. "This is my place and please stop pretending that you care what happen to me"
"I DO!, so please stop this and come back with me"
"You can't give me orders, so stop pretending that you are my mother, because you are not!"
"I am your mother! I know that what I did when I abandoned you was wrong but this is different, those creatures will be targeting this place and your life will be on danger!"
"And where were you when your clan try to kill me! You never knew it because you never care, it wasn't until I got to the magic high school that you find out and that was because I told it to Miyuki and Honami and that was five years later, so you can stop pretending"
"I know that that was a mistake, a terrible mistake but I really believe that it will be for the best if I kept my distance, that that will made your life happier, it was stupid but I was really worried about you"
"I don't believe you and I don't have any reason to listen to you, I will stay here with my real family"
"You can die!"
"Maybe, but this time it will be my choice and I chose to stay with the people that accepted me as a member of their family, either Shiba or Yotsuba Tatsuya died all those years ago, I am Emiya Tatsuya. Also it is time for you to face the consequences of your actions, so now leave me alone"
For Miya Yotsuba, this was the worst moment of her live, ever since this situation began she had the fear the grew inside her that this will happen when she tries to reconnect with her son, but now that she is living it she realizes that it was far worse from what she had imagined. And she was using the last of her strength to prevent her to cry in that moment.
"Actually, I am the person that you must blame for all this" said Maya attracting the attention of all the presents.
"What do you mean?" asked Tatsuya.
"Because I was the person destined to be your mother"
"Big sister!"
"He needs to know the true and now that you had taken this matter this far there is no point in hiding the true anymore" said Maya as she looked at Tatsuya. "Tatsuya, I am the responsible for all that had happened to you" said Maya attracting the attention of Tatsuya.
"Did you ordered your sister to abandon me?" asked Tatsuya.
"No, in fact I was against that choice"
"Then how is all this your fault!"
"Because I am your real mother"
"Oneesan!"
The revelation that Maya, the queen of the night had made was a big surprise to all the presents in special for those who know about her condition after the tragic events when members of the Kunlunfang institute kidnapped her.
"But I thought .." said Tatsuya.
"That become a mother is impossible for me? And that is correct" said Maya. Keeping in secret that thanks to the elixir made by the same young people that was in the room, become a mother was something possible for her now but she didn't feel that she is ready for that. "Tatsuya, I believe that you already know my story and how the Yotsuba got their reputation after what happened to me?"
Tatsuya indeed knew the story behind Maya past, back when he was getting ready for a possible battle against his former clan, Kiritsugu teach him that get information about your enemies is half the battle and for that they began to get a much information as they could, in the case of Maya past, that was an open secret, in special because it is related to the events that give the Yotsuba their untouchables reputation after they destroy a country to get their revenge for what they did to Maya.
"Yes, I did and for that I don't see how it is possible for you to be my mother"
"Tatsuta, my son, when that happened to me I was destroyed, just an empty doll, that is when my father in an attempt to help me made a plan, he knew that my greatest dream was to be a mother, a dream that was destroyed so he ordered a project to allow me to be a mother and at the same time had a kid that will had the power to protect his family"
"A project?" asked Tatsuya.
"Yes, it was mean to be create the perfect magician, but my father turned it to be at that time my only hope to be a mother. I believe that in his mind, giving me the chance to become a mother would help me to recover my mind, in special with the circumstances and the methods that they had to use to keep my mind sane."
In the background Miya looks down, knowing to well what her sister mean, about that one time that she used her powers to seal the part of her mind that had the memories about what the member of the Kunlunfang institute did to her, but also sealed all her emotions, that was something that she and her father regret, in the personal she believed that that regret was what made him order the revenge attack and order to artificial magician project be turned into a way to give Maya a son. In a way is funny that both problems were fixed by the same group of persons that created the elixir and now has raised Tatsuya.
"But then what happened?" asked Tatsuya as he try to process all that she was telling him.
"I couldn't use my body to conceive you, so Miya offer herself to be a hostess mother in my place, she try to made me participate in all the aspects of the pregnancy experience, even if she had only got married by that time, but it didn't work, I wasn't ready and the injures of my soul were still open, I couldn't embrace you as the mother that I was supposed to become, Miya had her own marriage to worried about, soon after your condition, that you won't be able to use magic as the rest of the clan hoped was known, from there you know the rest. That is why it is me the person that you should hate for everything that it happened to you, because I wasn't strong enough"
All the presents got silent at this revelation, no one knew what to said and for the look in Tatsuya face, he neither.
"It is true, Mother?" asked Miyuki who was the first to react. "All that Maya-obasan had said, is true?" asked Miyuki with great emotion in her eyes.
The silent and look down of her mother was all the confirmation that she needed.
"That means we aren't brother and sister?"
"You share the same womb, but outside that you could even get married because you do not have a genetic relationship so there will be no problem" said Maya.
"I can't believe this" said Tatsuya.
"I know that it is a lot to take, but you need to come with us, if those creatures, those servants come you could die" said Miya.
Tatsuya remain silent for a moment, trying to understand and process all the information that he had just learn, all this time he had been mad a Miya because he believed that she abandoned him, but now he learned that he wasn't her responsibility in the first place and Maya, what he could possible said about her, he knew her story and if all this about been a mother was forced at her when she didn't have the chance to recover from that experience was something that he couldn't have against her.
Without said anything else he just began to leave the room, ignoring the people that were calling for him. When the door was closed, the room got in silent.
"I believe that it will be for the best if we leave this matter for another time" said Kiritsugu.
Taking that as a signal all the guest began to leave the place.
End flashback
"Tatsuya, Tatsuya" said a voice that made him come back to the present.
"Ah sempai, did you need something" asked Tatsuya when he saw who was the person that was calling him.
"No, I just saw you with a lost look in your eyes and want to know if you were fine" said Mayumi.
"I am fine, I just finished the calibration of the CAD that will be used on the next contest"
"I didn't mean that"
"I know, but I just need time to process all this, I know that you do not know all the story behind what happened yesterday, and I guessed that is only a matter of time before you learn the all story, but for now I just need time."
"And talking about time, I believe that it time for your break and what better way to spend it than in the company of this beautiful sempai"
"HEH, but I"
"Had just finish with your work, besides it will be impolite to refuse the request of a young lady that has come to see you, I wonder what Irisviel and Aoi would said about this" said Mayumi with a small smirk in her face.
"OK, OK, I can see that just spending too much time with the woman of my family is becoming a bad influence for you, I wonder if the Suzume and Miyuki are the same"
"I like to considered my time with them as an educational experience" said Suzume that had just arrive from behind. Then looking towards Mayumi. "You are taking too long"
"I know but I couldn't ignore how cute Tatsuya looks when he was thinking"
"I would love see that as well but now there are others priorities"
"What are you talking about?"
"It is Miyuki" said Mayumi.
"Is she ok?"
"After what happened yesterday, she was confused and distracted we try to talk with her but only got little more than the basic than what we learned yesterday, but we know that in this moment she needs you"
"But I don't know what to say to her"
"Sometimes words aren't necessary, just be there and made her know that all will be ok, one way or another. We can have our date in another moment"
"I would also like to have a second date after this" said Suzume. As the three of the headed to where Miyuki was.
In her room, Miyuki was thinking on the events of the last night and how this change everything. And the worse part was that she didn't know how to face Tatsuya, was he her brother or not, they were indeed born from the same mother but with different genetics, could this be a signal that tell her that she could fall in love with him or she will be stuck in the roll of little sister forever, she didn't know and that is what scared her the most, to the point that the couldn't focus on her next match. But she didn't have to think in that as a knock on the door said that someone was outside.
"I am busy" said Miyuki not wanting to talk with anyone in this moment.
"Miyuki, it is me" said a voice that she recognizes in anywhere, turning is surprise she run to the door and opened, just to meet face to face with Tatsuya. But now what she could said.
"May I come in" said Tatsuya, to what Miyuki nodded.
"We will leave you to talk, and Tatsuya remember that you owe us a date" said Mayumi, it was in that moment that Miyuki saw that outside the door where Mayumi and Suzume that greet her with a smile before the leave closing the door, leaving her with Tatsuya.
"How had you been?" was the only question that Tatsuya could come out in this situation.
"I am fine and you onisama?" said Miyuki and in that moment realize what she said and got quiet.
"Is there something wrong?"
"I don't know if I had the right to call you that way anymore"
"It is really that important?"
"I don't know"
"Then do not worry about that"
"What it is going to happen to us now?"
"I don't know, to be honest part of me feel relieve"
"Relieve?"
"I didn't want hate to rule my live because I had been raised by the Emiya to be better than that, but part of me couldn't forget that I was abandoned, but now that I know that I was never Miya responsibility, I could now understand the way that she trade me when I was a kid"
"I know that she really cares about you"
"In this moment that don't matter" said Tatsuya as he saw the view from the window.
"What will you do now?"
"I had never seen my older siblings act like this, not even when they destroy the GAA forces in Okinawa, this time I can feel the worry and concern in their eyes, that is why I will train to become stronger so I can stand next to them"
"But you hear them talk about those servants, if half of what they said is true them they are monsters, why you had to face them" Said Miyuki with fear in her eyes.
"When the Emiya learn about who I am and my relationship with the Yotsuba, for a moment I believe that they will just leave me to protect themselves, but they didn't, over the years I saw them do what is the right thing to do over personal gain so many times, even if that means some level of sacrifice or effort that they didn't had to do, that is when I understand that that was their real nature. I don't know how to explain this but part of me wanted to be like them and when they adopt me and trade as a real member of their family; Miyuki that day I was reborn and now I had the chance to do for them what they did to me, so I will stand by their side"
Miyuki look at Tatsuya with admiration, the way that he speaks with so much emotion move something inside her. "You are wonderful" said in low voice.
"Did you said something?"
"Nothing" said Miyuki reaction with surprise that Tatsuya could hear her, before she smiles to him.
The two of them remained in silent for a moment before Tatsuya decide to make the move on.
"Are you ready for the pillar breaker event?"
"Yes I am, just a little nervous, but I am confident in your skill as an engineer and in my training"
"Talking about that, there is something that I had been working on in secret, so far I was supposed to be the only one able to use this new invention because I was the only one that had a relic conceptualized inside me, but that is no longer the case with you three also having one as well and with the current situation I believe that it will be for the best if I share this with you"
"What it is Oni, I mean Tatsuya, how do you want me to call you from now on?"
"The way that you prefer and about what it is, I prefer to only explain this once so if you could call Mayumi and Suzune I could explain this and see if you agree with this"
Feeling great curiosity but great happiness to see that her relationship with Tatsuya is as good as always, so she used her telepathy spell to contact the other two girls that to her surprise were just outside her room.
"It is great to see that everything is fine now, ne Miyuki?" said Mayumi
"Were you spying us?" asked Miyuki.
"We were only worry about our friend" answered Suzume.
"Any way, what is what you want to talk with us?" asked Miyuki
"As you know the situation that we are facing is a really dangerous one" Said Tatsuya, and as he saw the dark look on their eyes, he could understand the explanation about the power of the servants was present in their mind. "For over the years I had been working in secret in a new magic that I was supposed to be the only one able to use it because the relic inside me, the idea was not to made me more powerful but to allow me to had a better control over the two magic system inside me"
"If that even possible?" asked Suzume, with clear curiosity in her voice.
"I had been testing it for the last weeks and so far it had been a success, but I need you to understand that if I give you this is not so you can fight, is so you can have a better chance to survive."
"Then what it is?" asked Mayumi.
"A status screen"
"A what?" asked Mayumi
"A status screen?" asked the three girls at the same time.
"Are you serious?" this time it was Mayumi.
"I am very serious, you see the relic that we had inside us is helping us to keep in balance the two magic system inside us, so I wondered, what if I could made that the same relic help to not only keep the balance but also to control and use the best of both systems at the same time, that is where the idea of a status screen come from, it is only a program integrate in the relic that create a middle point that allows you to had a better use of your magic, no matter what system it is, it is also had the advantage that made you been able to use magic without a CAD or magic tool, you still can use them to had better results, but you can use the basic to intermeddle level of any magic without them"
"That sounds very impressive," said Miyuki.
"But why didn't you tell us about this sooner" asked Mayumi.
"At the beginning it was just a work in progress, but now if this could increase your chance to be safe even a little then I believe it will be for the best if you had it, also I didn't know how to tell you about this because." Tatsuya couldn't say more because the blush that he had
"It is something wrong?" asked Miyuki.
Gathering his strength Tatsuya told them.
"Because I would need to had access to the relic that are inside you and you already know what that would means"
Now it was the turn of the three girls to blush, because they remember how Illya-sensei had told them about the procedure and how their lives were saved and the roll that Tatsuya took in that occasion. The fact that she told them that they were naked and that Tatsuya had to be present because the copies of the relics had nothing to do with that or the fun that she got when she saw the reaction of them.
They stood still for a moment, thinking about what Tatsuya told them, and in a normal situation, they would believe that this was nothing but a joke or an excuse to see them naked again. But they knew Tatsuya and know that he is not that kind of man, it was after a few moments that one of them began to move.
"Suzune-chan!" asked Mayumi, she no longer calls her with that pet name because with Rin sensei present it will be confused to call her that way too. However, in this moment that do not matter because Suzune began to undress right in front of them. "What are you doing?"
"Getting undress"
"I see that, but why?"
"Because at the end we all will do it, we are facing a real dangerous situation and even if those servants do not target us, we do not know if they will attack again in a public place just like in the Monolith code event, this will help us to survive and beside I trust Tatsuya" said Suzune as the last piece of clothes fell in the ground, even with her blushing face they could see that she was determinate.
"I am ready" said Suzune.
It took a moment to Tatsuya to react; even in this situation, he could not avoid to appreciate the beauty of the body before him, her skin tone and figure were something amazing that with her face give her a great attractive. Reacting Tatsuya finally said.
"I need you to open all your magic circuits in all your body and the focus over your heart, in the part where the relic was placed" said Tatsuya as serious as he could.
Suzune did the as he told her and soon the green jade energy lines become visible on all her body giving an even more exotic looks, it was when all the green jade lines see to come from a point over her heart that market it as the origin of all them.
"Please remain still, this won't hurt you but I need you to not move". Said Tatsuya as he began to activate his own magic circuits and focus on his hand, after a few moments a small magic energy ball appeared as he got close to Suzune, "Are you ready?" asked Tatsuya as he had his hand a few centimeter over her chest. When she nodded he finally place his had in direct contact with her skin.
A small moan that Suzume tried to keep down was still hear by the presents. But she remains still and after a few moments he was done.
"It is ready, now you can dress on" said Tatsuya as he turns to see the others. "Will you also do it?" all the while Suzune was getting dressed again.
"I can feel something different in me, I guess that you really did something, and this was not an excuse to see me naked" joke Suzune.
"I will explain how to use it when I am done placing this new magic in all of you, and for the record you are a beautiful girl, so seeing you naked was a bonus"
"I can't allow my friend to be the only one that do it; beside I am now curious about what will happen" said Mayumi as she try to hide the fact that she was very nervous, over the last weeks her experience with Tatsuya had been one surprise after another one and when she had begun to ask herself what kind of feelings she had for him she ended with a blush face, that and the fact that she was undressing in front of him, true he had already see her naked but those were special reason, and he is about to see her again. Little by little the piece of clothes ended in the flour in the same place that a few moments ago had Suzune clothes.
Once she was naked she raised her head timidly only to meet the eyes of Tatsuya looking at every part of her body.
"I am sorry for had a child body" said Mayumi as she covers her private parts.
Tatsuya could know by this action as she had some kind of self-impression about her body and that even if she shows a cheerful personality, she had her doubts, and that is not something that Tatsuya could allow to continue.
"I see no child here, I see a woman that had face the responsibilities that fell over her with great dignity and skill, you do not need to worry about your body because I see a beautiful and strong woman"
Mayumi blush even more for those words than been naked in from of Tatsuya.
"Please activate your magic circuits in the same way as Suzune"
As Mayumi did it, Tatsuya could appreciate how the jade green lines of her magic circuits like in case of Suzune give her an exotic look, different than Suzune but not less beautiful.
"Are you ready?"
And when she said yes, he did the same that he did with Suzune, again a moan escape from the lips of the girl. After a few moments, the task was over. However, that leave him with just one to finished, but he didn't know if she was ready, even if both know that this is to help them, the feelings and logic do not always agree.
"I will do it" said Miyuki, surprising Tatsuya because unlike the nervous girl that he come to cheering up, now she looked very determinate.
"You are determinate to become strong so you can never be at the mercy of others and I want the same, I want to be strong enough to never allow others to choose my destiny, that is something that only will be decided by me". And with said she began to undress as Mayumi was finishing to dress herself, even with the passionate declaration she was very nervous, and Tatsuya was even more.
Unlike with Mayumi and Suzune where he knew what kind of relationship exist between them, he still did not know the new dynamic of his relation with Miyuki, was she his sister even if they had different genetics; in the personal he didn't care about that considering his relationship with his siblings that prove that you do not need to share the same blood to be a family, but at the same time the example that he got from Illya and Shirou, had been dancing in his head for the last hours, so until they come to an agreement about their relationship he would considered her his friend.
Something that was difficult as she was now standing in her naked glory in from of him, a true Yamato Nadeshiko.
For Miyuki this was something that she wouldn't had imagine when she saw Tatsuya at her room door a few minutes ago, how their talk turn to this event was something that she was still trying to understand, but there was something that she was sure she wanted to hear the same praise words that he had told to their two sempais. Could this desire for his recognition means that she wants him to see her as a woman and not his sister now that she knew the truth; that was something that she still need to decide for her own.
So without waiting for the instructions she activate her magic circuits and close her eyes waiting for the moment when Tatsuya hand will made contact with her skin and when that happen she could understand why Mayumi and Suzune moaned as she feel Tatsuya energy go deep inside her and made contact with the relic inside her, that energy was warn and gentle and even if she knew that what she feel was the relic, she for one moment believe that he was touching her soul and wondered if the others feel the same.
"It is done" said Tatsuya as the sensation that Miyuki was having stopped.
Turning around he waited for Miyuki to dress herself again, after a few minutes he turned to see the three girls waiting for him to explain what he just gave them.
"Now, I believe that it will be simpler if I show you what just happened, first I want you to focus your energy in the relic and concentrate in yourself, think in your status"
The girls did as he said, remembering the time when Tatsuya was teaching them how to use their magic circuits and to their surprise a scream appeared next to them that had a control menu.
"What is this?" asked Mayumi
"This is the status screen, you can control it with your mind or yours hands, only you will able to see your own screen, now I want you to go to the library button first," said Tatsuya.
The girls did and soon a main screen show up having the same links that you will find on a web page, each link with the name of a magic discipline with a search option at the top of the page.
"This library had all the magic text books of both systems so you will be able to access that information at any moment, I am still working in a way to update the information but this still will be very useful"
"This is amazing!" said Miyuki.
"Now go back to the main screen and now use the button that said Inventory"
When the girls did as he said, a new screen was show up.
"This screen will allow you to access your own CSD so you will know what you had store at any time, and because you can classify it that will increase the number of items and their size that you can store. Now go back to the main screen and select Spells"
Once again, the girls did what he said and again saw another surprise. This time was a list with the magic sequence of a great number of spells.
"The list that you see is the list of all the magic sequences for the spells related to modern magic, as you know the way to use both magic systems are different between each other's, in modern magic as long as you had the capability and the needed level of skill you can use that spell as long as you had the sequence, while in Thaumaturgy you need to believe that everything is possible with a strong image of what you want, that give the modern magic versatility and Thaumaturgy power. What that list do is give you high level spells sequence that can be reinforced with your Thaumaturgy, this is because you already had the image of the spells and know that you can do it, so in theory you can reinforce a magic sequence of modern magic because you already know how it works, how much power you can increase in your modern magic spell will depend on you."
"That means that if the spell is one that I had use before and that give it confidence that I can do it that will allow me to use my magic circuits to increase the power?" asked Suzune understanding the advantage of this option.
"Correct" said Tatsuya
"You know Tatsuya, this looks like something come out of a video game or an anime" said Mayumi.
"Because it is, but that do not change the fact that in our world it is a good idea to had, in this moment I only had those options, but I hope to improve it in the future, I was hoping to ask your help for this project, after all we are the only ones that had a relic inside us"
"It will be my pleasure to assist you" said Suzune.
"You can count on me" said Mayumi
"I will also do my best" finish Miyuki.
"Thanks, now I had to go back to work but before I leave I would like to recommend you to learn to use it with your mind"
"Actually we must go back to the competition, hope that you do not mind if we walk with you" said Mayumi.
"It will be my pleasure"
Then the four of them leave the room, it had only been a few moments after the door was close when a figure appeared from the shadows.
"Are you sure that this is what you want?" he asked to no one in that room.
"Yes we are" said two women voices at the same time but that cannot be seen.
"You know it is still very strange for me; to see you working together like this, after all you had been in conflict more than a couple of times" said Zelretch.
"This time we share the same goal, in order to save the world and stop that mortal and unnatural cycle the human race must become stronger than anything before them" said the same two voice.
"Still I kind of feel sorry for them; they are working very hard to release the magi of this world from their role as a soldiers and weapons and yet we are forcing them to participate in a war that will surpass all the previous wars"
"Since the moment that it was decided to allow this human to have more access to magic than in other reality lines, was for this sole propose. Yet they still need overcome this test, because had they fail it will mark the end of more that the lives of this peoples that walk on this world" the duo of voice said.
"That is why you give me the power to interfere in the process that that young man was doing, to made the changes that you asked for"
"They, as well as the reality line jumpers will determinate if the work that we had been making for many millennia was not for nothing"
"What about the Grail war, what is the point of all this?" asked the old vampire.
"It is a test and a tool that will determinate the future of these humans, my sisters and my own" this time it was only one voice that answer. Just to disappears, when Zelretch feel that their presence had leave the room he did the same.
"Well, at less all this will be interesting," said the old vampire before disappears.
That same night the students from the first magic high school were talking about the great victories that the girl's division has in their victory dinner, with Mayumi and Miyuki been the stars, they all were talking about the great speed use by Mayumi or the powerful magic sequence used by Miyuki. They were all pricing their performance; but what no one of they could had imagined was that even if they see to be using their CAD, they were turned off because after just a few hours they learned that they had better control of their magic with this new status tool than using their old CAD and had decided to test them on the match.
All the while Suzune was looking at her status screen, in special to all the information about runes.
While this was happening in the other side of the city, in the rooftop of the tallest building we can see how a figure materialize from some sparks of light. It was a female figure that use a black dress, but what made this woman stand up was not only her beauty but also the exotic of her features that made her look like that legendary race, the elves. That and that she looks mad very mad.
"Those idiots!" thought the woman.
This woman was one of the existences know as a servants or heroic spirits, part of the group that the GAA had summoned with the hope that they will be the key to a new world where they will be on the top, however they will be surprised to know that their trump card had been planning against them the all-time.
That is not something that she did not care, she is Wise Queen of Assyria, Semiramis. Now she is very mad thanks to that insolent narcissistic blonde-haired idiot and do not want to see them right know. How dare that insolent idiot to question her power and status by saying that it was inferior to him, the nerve of that stupid. She is also a Queen and like him, she also has divine blood. Yet he keeps talking about how he is the only worthy of carry the Babylonian legacy.
And if having to endure that unbearable blond wasn't bad enough that unpleasant witch that is their Caster is not better, believing that her magic is invincible, OH she should tech her a lesson but that would be counterproductive as both idiots supports each other for the moment waiting for the moment to betray each other, it is an open secret yet both of them pretend that everything is fine.
Nevertheless, the worse one is her "Master" Matou Zouken.
That man is the worse that she had ever had the displeasure to meet in her life, his way to see the life and his magic are unpleasant and terrible, in special because he believes that she will understand his point of view, and she did because she saw that he is a dam bastard that had lived to long and that the dead should had taken him away long ago. But more than anything he is a traitor, someone that had to escape from his country because his terrible crimes were discovers and now he is helping his nations enemies for his own gain, and that is something that the queen inside her despised.
That man had believed that she would approve his evil acts and nothing could be more far from the true, ever since she had taken his mana as the leader of the group of GAA magicians assigned to her to stay in this world she had been able to see his memories and the kind of crimes that he made for his own benefit was something disgusting.
Even if the story mark her as an assassin, they never bother to ask why she did it what she was forced to do, how she was abandoned by her mother a goddess, because she was part mortal, something that was common in the age of gods but that wasn't so bad as she was adopted by a villager couple that raised and love her as their own child, she had married an old general to give a better life to her family, but that new live didn't last; because the king of Assyria took her by force and lead her husband to the dead and even if she didn't love him, she respect him for keeping his word and take care of her family.
For a moment she believed that she will be able to give her family an even better life to her family if she manage to please the king and she did by using her knowledge to give him plans and strategies that will help him in his government. And for a moment she believe that that was the case but again that illusion didn't last as the greed of the king only grew with the success that she had giving him, which ended encouraging to expand his domain by invading others countries, but to do that he needed money and resources, and he got them to increase that taxes and using all the food to the army, that lead the common people to suffer a famine that kill many including her family, all to satisfy the desire of glory and greed of that King.
However, after she learn about the death of her family and how the king allowed it because he didn't want that his new Queen been related to common people, so she decide to get her revenge and kill that king with poison, the plan works and she took control of the country and with her new power and authority she did her best to bring prosperity to her people, but the historians didn't care about that, only the part of she been the first one to kill her husband with poison in record story.
But all that now belong to the past, now as she looked down to see how much the things had changed, looking at the buildings that are bigger than the ones in her Queendom and the great number of lights help her to relax for a moment. Lately she had been thinking about killing that Zouken and his group and then find a new source of Mana so she could stay in this world away from the others. But she needs to find a way to do that and to be honest with herself she didn't want to attack civilians and steal their mana, not because she is noble but because she feels that that will place her at the same level of that despicable Gilgamesh.
She was deep in thought when she did not feel a presence behind her until it was too late, turning around she saw the figure of a man.
"I never expect to meet you here" and with that Semiramis got ready to fight and to give this city its second taste of a battle between servant level fighters.
