Well, better late then never they say! Sorry that it took so long to post this chapter, but a few personal matters came up that I still need to deal with. Regardless, Chapter 8 is here! So the wait is now over! I also feel like the chapter could have been a bit better. But I didn't want to delay it any longer.
But for now, let us go to the reviews!
UA1991: As always, I just PM the answer, hope you don't mind.
ultima-owner: Yea it was. But Ai would never actually try to hurt or punish Isai badly, just not in her nature. In fact, she kinda lets her get away with a lot of stuff now that I think about it.
ptl: It's certainly an interesting idea worth considering. Perhaps it will happen in the future? Though I don't think she going to use anything like lightning or fire. Also, she is not an okatu, but she does watch anime/read manga.
Guest: Well it not like she going to bring Excalibur for Training. Especially against a devil. But oh man, when Yuuto finds out about Excalibur... Er, I'm sure things will turn out ok. Also please use a name I can refer to if you reply again, it would make my life slightly easier.
angelvan105: Saber is Saber from Fate/Zero. As such she has never gone through the events of Fate/Stay Night.
kirishadowcat: You could be on to something! But only the future will tell if your right or wrong. I mean I guess I could. But that'll be no fun.
Well, that's all for now, onto the Chapter.
"Speaking."
"Thinking."
"Servant Speaking."
On second thought, perhaps she should have kept such information to herself.
At what was going through the mind of Artoira Pendragon.
For but a moment, her emotions overtook her rational and logical thinking on seeing her previous master.
This slip up has caused quite a bit of an upset on her Master. Who in turn, seemed to have trouble processes that her Father actually from a different world. Let alone the fact she was her Master at some point.
None the less she doesn't blame her Master. After all, she herself was the cause, so as such, she places the blame on herself.
Which means she was the one who has to fix this dilemma. That could be quite the problem for her, however.
It wasn't that she wasn't good with people, quite the opposite in fact. As to be the ideal king, one must know how to deal with others.
But the problem lies in the fact that she can't approach this problem as a king. If she did, she had no doubt that she could possibly worsen the situation more then it already was.
One thing she knew she wasn't going to do was to tell her master what happened during the 4th holy grail war. As much as she hates the man. Her Master clearly cherishes him. And Saber would prefer not to ruin that image she has of him.
". . . Though I will admit I can be mistaken." Saber said. Grabbing her Master's attention back towards her.
"Eh? W-What do you mean?" She asked. Not really such what to think at the moment. Saber couldn't blame her, however. So much information she did not what to accept just got dropped her in.
"It is strange. He does look just like my old Master. and he even shares the same name. But as I said, that was in another World. So there is a very real possibility that I could be wrong. In fact, it is most likely the case." Saber told her.
"Uh... Yea.. right!" Her Master expressed. It seems to have worked. Thought Saber was still in the belief that this was the same. But she will not cross out the possibility that she could be wrong.
"Thought I am wondering why you are upset over him being here," Saber asked her. She took a second to think of an answer.
"Right, uh, That's not what I'm upset over..." Said told her. If that is the case then why was she...?
"When you said that he was in a previous Grail War. You kinda made it sound like he... "
"Died?" Saber guessed. In which she nodded. "Perhaps I should have been more clear. In another world, he was my master for the 4th holy grail war. But I do not know of his fate after it. So I can't really say if he lived or died."
Whether or not he was the very same Kiritsugu that was her Master is irrelevant. Though she will admit she is a bit curious on how he even got to this world if he was the same person.
Saber can feel her Master sigh in relief. Ok, so she not only cares about her father. She would also care about an alternate version of him. Assuming their not the same person that is.
This only reinforced the idea of not telling her about what happened during that war. Especially about her proxy master Irisviel.
"So what do you mean by 'took place on another world'?" She then asks her. Ah, yes. Another slip up on her part. She didn't mean to mention that either.
"Yes, the 4h holy grail war, the one I was in, Took place on an Earth in a different Dimension." Saber said. thought she may as well tell her about it at this point. Hopefully, it will satisfy her Master's curiosity.
"Oh, so like, a Parallel Universe?" Her master wondered. Sitting down on a nearby chair in thought. "Does that mean Multiverse theory is true?"
"I not sure if they are parallel universes. But yes, different universes. I also do not know what Multiverse Theory is so I cannot answer that." Saber told her Master, who looked like she was about to explain. But then stopped.
"Eh... It rather's complex, something that would take far too long to properly explain really." Her master said.
Huh, for some reason, Saber felt relief about that, she wasn't sure as to why.
Soon afterward, Kiritsugu came back in with a rag and some rubbing alcohol.
"Alright, close your eyes and I'll get these marks right off." He told her Master, she nods and does as he says.
"It doesn't seem too hard to get off." Saber commented on as he gently rubs her with the said rug.
"Well yea, I was only playing the part remember? Thought the Alcohol can really hurt if you let it get in your eyes." Her master said in a happy tone. Her mood has greatly improved when her father came back to take care of her.
Perhaps Saber didn't need to worry about this. The problem could have solved itself if she waited long enough... Granted, Saber wasn't really a person to just sit idly by.
"Do you want me to make us dinner?" Her Master suddenly asked her father. Who in turn only shook his head. "Oh, I can try making dumplings again! I've gotten really good at mak-"
"I already got us some food." He said then. Which caused the young women to frown and pout.
"Then how am I suppose to show off my skills?" She protested. Her father raised his hands in mock surrender just as he just finishes cleaning her face.
"Alright, then I'll let you make dinner Tomorrow alright? For now, just think of it as a gift for making you wait so long." He told her. "You can also open your eyes now."
And she does just that. blinking a bit as she does so.
"Fine, I guess I'll accept it then. Since you made it for such a reason! But next time tell me beforehand when you do this." She said, in which he smiled lightly and nodded.
Saber then just had a thought as she Listened/watched these two. Perhaps this was the very same child she saw playing with Kiritsugu back when she was summoned by him? It'd certainly make sense. If he was here. There's a possibility that she came along as well.
But then why doesn't she remember her Mother? Surely she would have recognized the name back when she was first summoned.
Then again, her Master's memories of such events or people could have been erased. She didn't know everything about the Holy Grail War after all.
Saber tried to envision what could have happened after the war. Maybe Kiritsugu went and got Isaiviel, then erased her memories of her mother and anything that involves the Einzberns and the Holy Grail War. And somehow got here in hopes that she could have a normal life.
If that was the case, then she can safely say that he failed quite badly.
...But then why is her name still Isaiviel von Einzbern and not Isaiviel Emyia? And how did he even cross into an entirely different dimension? Sure he could have somehow gotten the Second Magic to transfer him to a Parallel Dimension. But as far as she knew, the Second Magic only extends to Parallel Dimensions/Universes. And with what little time she has been here. She already knew this world is just far too different to just be a Parallel world.
No, this was a completely different world, One with its own set of rules.
Granted, Saber was just a Knight. The King of Knights. But still a Knight none the less. She wouldn't have any answers to these questions.
It was times likes this she wished Merlin was around. No doubt he would know what was actually going on. He often had a good grasp of events such as this.
Well, in the end, her goal remains the same. Regardless of the world she currently resides in.
"Wait..." Her Red-eyed Master suddenly said, narrowing her eyes slightly. "You can't cook."
He then claps his hand together in a pleading fashion.
"Sorry, Sorry. You know your Father. I didn't want to disappoint you is all." He told her.
"But that doesn't-" She was going to say, but well. Her father was one step ahead of her.
"I also made sure it was the ramen you like so much." He continued.
"You're the best father a girl could ask for." Was her reply along with a swift hug. She was surprisingly easy to please. When it involves her father at least.
Also, Saber wasn't going to complain about the food. She enjoys Ramen as well. Thanks to her Master. In fact, a lot of food from this time taste so much better than the food of her time.
And she really liked that. It was something she didn't expect she would have wanted.
The sound of two wooden Swords striking one another constantly threw out the dojo. Saber couldn't help but admire the look of the place. It was also really peaceful despite it being a Mainly place for training or battle.
Thought the same could not be said for Isaiviel. Who could only desperately hold Yuuto off. Her blade, firmly fitted in her hands. Was only really being used to Block incoming attacks that She could see.
Yuuto on the other hand. Was only really using one hand. But while he clearly not going easy on her. He wasn't going full out either. I mean. She was only human after all. He could seriously hurt her if he actually put some power into his attacks.
Luckily, Isaiviel was wearing Kendo gear. So she was mostly protected.
But It wasn't hard to say that Isaiviel was having a far harder time then Yuuto was.
Rais, Akeno, and Ai were on the sidelines. And seemed to be talking amongst themselves. Or well Rias and Akeno were. Ai was by them, but she was just quietly Watching the spar.
Issei was doing a contract, and Kenoko was doing something else. Saber didn't know what, however. Since it doesn't really have anything to do with her.
At this point, Isaiviel managed to duck under one of Yuuto Swings, pushing herself forward to try and counter... Only to have her wooden blade caught by Yuuto with his free hand.
Saber decided that she wasn't going to help Her Master with this. This sparring session was done so Yuuto could get a basic idea of her Master's abilities. So it makes sense to her not to interfere.
And the fact that Saber wasn't helping her showed.
"Uhh..." Was Isaiviel's reply just before she was forced to let go of her blade just so she can back up form Yuuto's downward swing.
Then she realized that was a huge mistake. She was now armless and very vulnerable. If this was an actual fight. She would be pretty much done.
But Yuuto tossed the wooden blade back at her, and while she fumbled a bit, she did catch it.
"That was a simple mistake. And I'll admit I probably shouldn't have grabbed your sword. So I'll give you another chance." Yuuto said right before getting back into his own stance.
"Oh. Uhh... Thank you...?" She said. A bit confused but none the less intends to take full advantage of this.
Saber was watching the young man with keen interest. And she has to say she was quite impressed with him. For one, it's incredibly rare for someone to be so skilled as such an age. Not to say he was perfect, Saber herself already noticed some flaws. Like his feet could be more apart and more steady. And he could adjust the angle of the blade when he swings it to have a more meaningful impact.
The grip he has on his blade also isn't the best. Especially since her Master had almost disarmed him once or twice by sheer accident. Thought she could account most of this to him not putting his all.
There were a couple more problems that weren't mentioned as well. But still, whoever taught him how to fight, has done a pretty good job. Yuuto fought even better than some Knights that were in her army back in Camelot.
It kinda made her want to test the full extent this young man ability herself. But alas, she could not do so.
Anyways, Her opinion on Isaiviel was... well. Not really as good. She wasn't dumb. She knew that she couldn't win. But that didn't deter her. She fought as hard as she could. Even thought Yuuto as just better than her in nearly every aspect. Well, all except for one thing.
And that was reaction timing. Which was exceptionally high. It was so high, Saber noticed that her Master would react to something well before Yuuto even became aware of it. For example, when Yuuto caught Isaiviel's blade. She reacted the instant Yuuto started to move his other hand into striking position. If she didn't, that wooden blade would have already collided with the top of her head.
At first, Saber thought that Isaiviel was using her A-Rank Instinct to predict what Yuuto was going to do. But then she remembered that her Master doesn't have access to her personal skills just yet.
Speaking of Isaiviel, she wasn't approaching Yuuto. Preferring to let him come to her.
Which he gladly did. Calmly, yet swiftly approaching her, he thrusts at her stomach. In which she deflects it with a simple flick on her sword. Throwing Yuuto slightly off balance, it was only slightly, but it was more enough to have a nice meeting with the ground. Isaiviel seizes this chance and attempts to strike the winning blow right on his head.
But Yuuto had other plans, being a Devil with the Knight Piece, his Speed and mobility were far higher than the normal Devil, let alone a human. He maneuvers himself far faster then Isaiviel could ever expect him too. turning upwards and grabbing Isaiviel's Hands. Of course, Isaiviel knew he was going to do that and reacted instantly. But her superior reflects were no real match Yuuto's unmatched speed.
It all happened in an instant, Isaiviel didn't know what exactly happened. But the end results were her on the ground belly down. With Yuuto standing on top, with one Hand holding both of Isaiviel's hands behind her back. And his other holding her head down.
"H-how did this even happened?!" Isaiviel asked/protested. Her breathing heavy and is struggling to free herself. "This makes no sense!"
"I think it's best we stop. Since I believe I have a good grasp on what you need to learn." Yuuto said.
Isaiviel continues to struggle for a couple more seconds but stops once she starts to get tired. she mumbles a 'fine.' and Yuuto lets go of her, letting her lay there for a bit to catch her own breath.
"He is quite impressive." Saber commented. Not really fazed about what just happened. "I wish to see what more he is capable of."
"Why didn't you help me?!" Isaiviel said towards Saber, not very happy with Saber unwillingness to help.
"Because he was judging you based on your own power. Not mine." Saber told her.
"But you are my power! How can I get better with it if you don't let me use it? Heck, you even said you help me get stronger remember?" Isaiviel countered. It was a good point, but one Saber was expecting.
"While that is true. You still can not use things like Mana Burst or Instinct. So the best I could have done was tell you what you needed to do. And while you would have stood a better chance. The end result would have been the same regardless. You need to learn to make those kinds of judgment calls yourself. You can't always rely on me." Saber said to her.
Isaiviel grumbles a bit but knows she is right. She sighs slightly.
"Right, sorry about the outburst," She said to Saber.
"It is fine Master." Saber replied.
"Do you need help getting up?" Yuuto asked, having a hand out for her.
"Sure," Isaiviel said as turns on her back. Grabbing his hand. Once she up, she removes the head part of her kendo Gear.
"So, How did I do...?" She asked him.
Sloppy, Horrible footwork and poor handling of a weapon were a... few things that came in mind for Saber. To say her Master was a bad fighter would be an understatement. Even if she could use Mana Burst to even the odd in terms of physical ability. She believes her Master still would have lost.
But at least she is patient and willing to observe the opponent first over just blindly changing in. So she is on the right track.
"You have spirit... but lack Experience." Was what Yuuto said. He wasn't lying, but he also wasn't being as brutally honest as some other people would be.
"Yea... That's... pretty clear. Kinda why I'm even doing this." Isaiviel pointed out. With Yuuto nodding in response.
"Well, We'll take a small break and then we'll start with some basics. For now, So go get some Water and rehydrate." Yuuto said in his usual, calm and, for Isaiviel at least, attractive voice.
"Sloppy, Horrible footwork and poor handling of a weapon. I could name a couple more. But I'm sure you understand by now." Archer said as he observed the fight.
"Yes, Yes, I get it. She sucks, but remember she was just a normal girl up until she summoned Saber." Ai retorted. Crossing her arms.
"You and I both know that was never the case." Archer reminded, which only cause Ai to frown. Looking a bit uncomfortable. She Refusing to say anything further.
Archer couldn't blame her. Form what he knew they were friends since a young age. And she only found out about Isaiviel's true nature around the time he was summoned. Even after a month, his master still doesn't fully accept the truth. At least at a subconscious level. I mean Who would blindly accept that their closest friend was a Homunculus? He even doubts that said person even knows that herself.
To put it Lightly, it'll be... interesting, when she finds the out the truth. Form what he knew about the girl. Her reaction is going to be pretty bad, and that's an understatement.
Though frankly speaking. Back when before he met Isaiviel, he expected her personality to be pretty similar to that of Illya... And that was kind of the case when he finally met her. They both were pretty positive overall. But Illya was far more playful and mischievous when compared to Isaiviel. They were both also childish to an extent, though for different reasons.
However, Illya could be a bit crueler and more merciless. She could kill someone, and wouldn't even bat an eye. Isaiviel also had a far more stable personality when compared to Illya despite being more emotional.
Sometimes he wondered what would happen if the two ever met. He could see Isaiviel accepting Illya. Though she would probably have to cope with Illya's mischievous nature.
Illya would probably mess with her a lot. But he can see the possibility of her growing attached to her new sibling. He also admits it would be kind of amusing to see Illya try to act as the older, more responsible sibling then the younger one for once.
That or she tries to kill her. You never really know. Either way that would never happen, since they both exist in different universes...
Then again, Kiritsugu exists here. So the possibility of Illya also being here is also real, though it is unlikely.
"I still think she should be a Mage. She has the potential to be something great with it." Both Archer and Ai could hear what Rias said.
"I could probably show her some tricks. Maybe that could convince her?" Akeno wondered out loud.
"I highly doubt it," Ai said, butted in their little talk. "Isai is going to want to become a swordsman no matter what."
Especially since Saber dwells within her.
"Oh? And what makes you so sure?" Rias had to ask. Now Looking at the other red-head.
"I know more about Isai then anyone else here. It only makes sense I would know." She answered back.
"Ara, she does have a point," Akeno mentioned. "But I think she'd be quite impressed with our powers.~"
"Well, I don't really know what you two can do. So I can't say if she would. Either way, it still wouldn't sway her." Ai insisted. But then started to wonder something.
"By the way, what can you two do?" Ai asked, both her and Archer have wondered just what their new devil 'comrades' could do before.
"Oh, I mainly use Elemental Magic. But I do prefer Lightning." Akeno said with a smile. Ai wasn't very surprised by that for some reason.
"Mhmh, I have the Power of Destruction," Rias said with a smirk and a small laugh.
"... Ok? I don't know what that does." Ai told plainly said. Thought she can take the obvious guess.
"Well, it's a very destructive power that can annihilate nearly anything." Rias simpled stated. In which Ai just stared at her. Not even blinking.
"That... doesn't tell me much more than what already can guess," Ai admits. Was that all that power really? Just Destroy things? Well, at least the name makes sense she supposed.
Rais never stopped smirking at her.
"Well then, I'll just have to show you a demonstration the next time we go hunt a stray Devil." Rais simply told her. Ai didn't say anything, preferring to think about their answers at this point.
"What do you think Archer?" Ai suddenly asked him.
"Hmm, well It's best to wait until we see them in action before making any further assumptions," Archer said. With Ai nodding. Yes, for all Ai knew, they could have some rather creative ways of using their powers.
"What about yours? I'm sure that you have something up your sleeve with what magical power you have." Rias said. Ai widen her eyes a bit. She thought she was hiding it well enough.
"Surprised? You certainly have much more control when compared to Isai. But us devils can sense it if we're close enough." Rias told her half-heartedly. Ai mentally made a note to be a bit more careful around them.
That being said, she really shouldn't be surprised. Unless your Servant is an Assassin. No matter How much you tried to hide it. The magical energy of a Servant is enormous, especially one with B rank Mana like Archer.
"Should I tell her what we can do?" As Always, Ai went to Archer for help.
"She'll eventually find out what we're capable of. But until then, only tell her what she needs to know." Archer suggested to her.
She had to agree, she doesn't 100% trust them after all. Telling them everything she can do may only want them to recruit her more. And she wasn't sure if that was a good or a bad thing. So she decided to tell them the only weapons she plans to use at the moment.
". . .I have some dual swords I can project. But I have them just in case anyone gets to close to me since I'm mainly an Archer. I even have a bow I can summon at will." Ai finally said.
Technically she isn't wrong. Sure she's better as a melee combatant then an Archer. But if anything that only lulls them into a false sense of security if they get close enough to her. She thought it was quite a simple, yet Ingenus plan.
No one really expects an Archer to hold their own in melee combat after all. Unless their one of those 'crazy prepared' types.
"An Archer? Huh, seems more of a magician to me." Rias thought out loud.
Ai raised an eyebrow at her... Well... She wouldn't be wrong. Though Magus would be the more correct term, however.
"I thought you saw Isai as a Magician," Ai said, honestly wondering why she came to such a conclusion.
"H-how did this even happened?!" The Four suddenly heard Isai yell. "This doesn't make any sense!"
The Trio's attention turned back towards the spar, and that could see Isaiviel pinned to the ground by Yuuto. Ai could only sweatdrop a bit as she looked on.
"You seem surprisedly calm while Watching your best friend get beaten up. Usually, your 'mother hen' instincts would kick in and try to defend her to the best of your abilities." Archer pointed out. She scoffs at him a bit.
"Yuuto is a kind and trusting person. Their no way he would seriously hurt Isai on purpose." Ai told him as if it was common knowledge, and it kind of was really.
"What makes you think that?" Archer wondered. "Is he not a Devil like the others?"
At this point, Ai was starting to think Archer was messing with her. Yuuto was just that kind of person. Much like how Isai is just Isai.
"You're joking, right? You should know better than that Archer." Ai tells him. "He's basically a Knight in Shining Armor."
"How can you be so sure of that Master? You only really talked to him once." Archer reminded her. She would about that, well... He isn't wrong per-say.
"But Isai Trusts him." She pointed out to him. There no way Isai would befriend someone untrustworthy.
"No offense Master. But your friend is far too nice for her own good. She seems like the sort who would try to befriend anyone." Archer said as if he has seen this before.
"Then you don't know Isai very well. She's a lot Smarter then she makes herself out to be." Ai said before pausing slightly. As if she just remembered something.
"Thought she does tend to not properly plan things out. But that's beside the point." She finally finishes.
"Doesn't mean she can't be fooled," Archer said bluntly.
At this point, Ai just stops talking to him. he was starting to get on her nerves, and she knows she would most likely lose this argument with him.
"You have quite a bit of control over your magical energy." Rias resume talking after watching Isaiviel give up.
"I suppose that makes sense. I would probably think the same thing if I were in your shoes." She honestly said.
"Then you must create your own arrows, don't you? Can you give any special properties to them?" Akeno couldn't help but ask. It was a decent question actually.
"Kinda. It's a bit complex, however, and I really don't want to explain it." She said honestly. The main reason was she herself doesn't quite fully get it. Sure with time, she'll understand, but at the moment, Archer handles most of the heavy lifting when it comes to that.
"Ara ara, That's a bit of a shame" Akeno admits. Though she doesn't seem discouraged about it at all.
At this point Isaiviel came by, holding a bottle of water that she got from... somewhere. She took a spot that was by Ai.
"I have to admit, this wasn't easy." The young red-eye women said. "I mean, I knew it wouldn't be easy. But it still pretty hard."
"Of course it wouldn't be easy. You learning to wield a blade. It would take years of experience to learn, and even then, you'd just be 'ok'" Ai told her. Causing Isaiviel to wince slightly.
"You don't need to be so harsh Ai-chan," Isaiviel said, looking down a bit. Oh, she got depressed. Ai just can't let that be.
"Just saying how it is. But really, Just keep the Spirit going and I'm sure you'll become a great swordsman." She continues.
"Yea... Your right! I just need to put more effort!"She exclaimed.
"Not really what I meant, but sure," Ai said, satisfied that she brightens her friend's mood. Granted, she was the one to caused her to get slightly depressed. But let's not think too much about that.
"We were just talking about our powers and abilities." rias then said, catching Isaiviel's attention. "Is there anything you can do?"
Isaiviel thought about it as if she was debating whether or not she wants to say anything. Her eyes quickly glance at Ai as she does so.
"There some things I could possibly do in the future." She then told everyone. "but right now. I can't really do anything... well except for invisible air- Oh" Isaiviel suddenly realized that she actually spoke the last part out loud. Ai just looked at her best friend. She didn't want to reveal that it appears.
"Invisible Air? What does it do?" Rias said/ask. Isaiviel suddenly got slightly nervous.
"Y-yea... it mainly lets me conceal anything I'm holding. I can dispell it at any time I want, however." She then said. Not really wanting to talk any more about it.
"Such a power could prove to be really useful," Rias said as she nods to herself. She was probably thinking of ways Isaiviel could use such a power. "How does it work?"
Isaiviel frown slightly, but did answer.
"It compresses a bunch of layers of wind, creating really strong air pressure with magical Energy. Because of that, It distorts the refraction of light and causes whatever is inside of it to become invisible." Isaiviel explained to the best of her ability.
"That sounds like Wind Magic." Akeno then said. And Ai had to agree. But Ai also knew better, it must have been a Noble Phantasm or a skill of some sorts. And she was kinda lending on the former at the moment.
"Yea, now that I think about it, it does around like some sort of magic." Isaiviel agrees before drinking a bit of Water. "Sadly, I don't really have much of a use for it right now."
Rias on the other said seemed to have a different view on Isai's Invisible Air.
"Really? Cause I can certainly think of a couple of ways to use it right now." Rias told her. Who in turn and looked at her questionably.
"What do you mean?" she couldn't help but ask. Rias only smiled and patted her head. Who in turn seemed to enjoy the head pat... Ai couldn't help but narrow her eyes at the other red-head.
"Well, if it as you say it is. I'm pretty sure we can come up with some others ways of using it. Don't you think so Akeno?" Rias asked her vice-president.
"Oh yes. I can certainly think of some things." She agreed happily, placing her hands together.
"Wait really?! Are they awesome stuff?! Can you show me?!" Isaiviel asked, her tone and voice getting a bit more excited about whatever ideas they had.
Ai also couldn't help but facepalm. She isn't sure if they planned this, But she thinks that her best friend just got baited.
"Certainly! But I'm afraid that'll have to wait for now. Afterall, I think Yuuto been waiting for you." Akeno said.
With that, Isaiviel realized she kinda forgot about training. And turned to see Yuuto waiting patiently for her to come back.
"Oh! right... haha... Sorry!" she yelled at Yuuto as she got back up. "Sorry to cut it short Ai-chan. But I have a meeting with Fate!"
Ai couldn't help but frown as she watched her friend walk back toward Yuuto. Why did she have to use that word of all things?
A/N: Well that's it for chapter 8! I think this was the second shortest chapter overall. I hope you guys don't mind.
Anyways, Isai kinda got stomped. Seems she not going to be able to fight anyone untill she gets Mana Burst, Hopefully, that'll be soon!
And she might learn some magic after all. Or well, anything the relates to invisible air at least.
It also should be noted that Irisviel never told Saber her daughter name. So it perfectly reasonable that Saber could come up with such a conclusion.
As for when the next chapter comes up. I'm not... fully sure. As I said. I have personal problems I still have to attend to. I'll try to get chapter 9 out within two weeks, but if it happens I can't. Then I'm sorry for making you guys wait.
Though if it comes to a point where I may not be able to update the story for a while. Don't worry! I still fully intend on finishing Fate: Soul Bound. And I'll get right back on it when I sort out everything. I'll also make sure to leave an update stating It may take a while to post chapter 9 if it comes to that. Hopefully, it won't.
So untill then see you all later!
