[10 Years Later at the Magus Association]
Students started filling the halls with chatter and worries on their mind. They were preparing for the next period before the bell rang. The bell rang and they managed to get to class on time. Once everyone was seated, their lecturer Waver Velvet entered the room. "Your attention class, today we will be having some surprise guests with us to show new advancements in modern magecraft. Please welcome them with a smile." As the door opened again the students were shocked to see who it was. The most famous magi to ever exist during their generation walked right in.
"Shiro Emiya aka the One Man Army, Rin Tohsaka aka the Elemental Mistress, Shinji Matou aka the Shade, Sakura Matou aka the Demon Slayer, Illya von Einzbern aka the Maiden of Heaven, and lastly Arturia Pendragon aka the Shining Blade, these guests are here to show you all the future of magecraft. Thanks to them we will be able to bring more people into the world of magecraft. Shiro emiya has found a way to create permanent magic circuits, if you want more power then pay close attention to what you're about to see."
After his long inspiring speech Shiro then stepped forward and used his version of projection to create a tome with magic circuits in it. Everyone was surprised to see what he did. "What I just did was create this with projection and I created a bunch of circuits in it as well. You can do this too, but my version of projection is more detailed. But if you want to learn how to create magic circuits then come see me after school. I'm available whenever, but don't come too late okay." After hearing his speech the entire class was cheering in excitement across the room.
The lecturer calmed them down and he presented the next guest. Shinji took the entire class's attention when he activated his shikigami in front of them. After activation, he was riding one of them that shaped like a giant blue phoenix. While riding, he coated his phoenix in shadows and flew through the wall like a ghost. He came back after performing a sky dive from above at high speed. "Shikigami are my specialty, besides my phoenix I can summon golems, ogres, and snakes at will. They obey my every command and easily recover from any damage. After Shinji finished, his sister Sakura stepped up to demonstrate her magecraft. She summoned a huge army of demons out of nowhere and they flew around the room in a frenzy.
She then trapped them with a flash of dark aura that surrounded her and spread out across the room. She managed to get them under her control and used their abilities to show off. Sakura conjured up a giant water beast that snarled and looked like it was ready to rampage violently. She sent one of her demons to possess it. she whisked it away with a swish of her hand. Everyone clapped for her and she curtsied for them and she stepped back in place. Next up was Illya, She was about to demonstrate her magecraft. "Here I go" She started chanting a weird verse. "Einz, Vrei, Shel, Drei, Heinz, Astero-" She was interrupted by a huge explosion that came from across the classroom. Luckily Shiro managed to create a strong enough shield in time before anyone near him got hurt. "Tsk, well so much for my sneak attack I was a bit too hopeful."
Shiro looked up and saw a young man who looked handsome and in his early 20's carrying a bag full of bombs. He scanned each one and found out they were loaded with mana with a unique rune array carved into them. "Well, since I came here to cause some chaos, I might as well let loose hahahahaha! There was no trace of mercy or half-hearted intent in his words. It was obvious, he was going to kill everyone in sight and he wouldn't stop there. Shiro thought to himself, "If I don't kill this maniac, he'll continue this rampage throughout the association or worse, he might take it elsewhere!" Shiro got up and he dusted himself off. "Guys, I going to need your help. This guy isn't weak, I can feel his mana it's enormous. It's going take all of us to take him down." Everyone of his friends got up and took a stand.
Shiro dashed to the left. "Hey where do you think you're going, you can't run away from me!" The floor started to glow in a bright light colored red and orange. The floor started to expand and it finally burst brightly in a flash of white light and caused a huge explosion. "This guy's dangerous I need to closer if I want to win, so far this guy has set of a bunch of explosions so if I get closer to him he won't ignite them." Shiro thought to himself. Shiro rushed in quickly and prepared to strike the maniac but the maniac did something unpredictable that shocked Shiro. "You thought that if you got closer to me that I might be helpless because I wouldn't set off my explosions so close to me? Boy were you wrong! All of a sudden a huge crackling sound followed by a bright yellow, red, orange blended light came from beneath the floor.
"Kaboom!" The maniac said with a wide crazed smile across his face. The entire room exploded from the attack leaving nothing but rubble in its wake. Shiro got up from the blast, and was wearing a fearful expression at the sight of the devastation. "Well this is a first, usually when I activate that spell everyone caught in the blast dies. You must be really powerful to have survived my "Charge Bomb". Well I want to play with you a bit longer, but I have to fulfill my mission." Shiro questioned the attacker, " Why are you doing this, why all this destruction? What do you gain from all this damage?!" The maniac smiled and kept silent. "Answer me god dammit!" But the maniac still didn't speak, He only answered with a huge explosion beneath Shiro's feet. Shiro managed to jump quickly enough using reinforcement on his legs, he poured about 8000 units of prana to be safe, this was one opponent he couldn't take it easy with.
"I used already 5000 units of my mana, add 5000 to that and I only have used 1/10th of my reserves. Whoever this guy is he's strong enough to make me go on the defensive. Let's just have him deal with this. Rho Ahis! Shiro poured a great deal of prana into his phantasm. "Give me your worst, I can take it!" The maniac smiled and eyes widened at the sight of the barrier. "You've got some balls old man, fine but remember this was your idea. Great Explosion! He started to charge a huge surge of prana above his palms right into a bunch of magic circles that swirled around each other. A huge ball of purple energy started to form and glow brightly in the center.
"AHAHAHAHA! Behold my signature move! Take this hero!" He flung the energy ball right at Shiro. The ball was stopped upon impact but it started to penetrate the shield. "No way even after using 10,000 units of prana my shield is cracking from his attack?! I need to pour more power into it!" Shiro pushed himself to pour as much mana as he could to stop the bomb. The bomb finally exploded and caused a lot of damage, enough damage that when the dust and smog cleared the academy was completely laid to waste. "Damn, that spell took 80,000 units of prana to protect everyone, but the academy is in ruins now and all I see is a crater the size of a volcano in its place!" Shiro was really angry with how things turned out, he was struggling against this foe. "I already used up more than two-thirds of my mana against this maniac and he still is full of mana." The maniac then taunted him. "So that's it? Is this the best the great and powerful Shiro Emiya is capable of? Well if that's the case then I don't need to keep playing around. Sorry this isn't personal, dude." He began charging up the same attack from before this time it had more power packed in it.
"Here it comes!" He launched his attack with such force that the trees and foliage that was in the way got absorbed into the bomb. Shiro only watched in horror as the bomb came closer to him. The bomb finally reached him and exploded with huge force. After the dust and smog cleared away, all that was left was nothing but rubble. "Well looks like he wasn't so tough. I'd better report this back to my boss." And just like that he left, after he left Shiro and his friends emerged from the rubble. He dusted himself off. "Look at what he did my outfit, I got this from my father! I swear he'll pay this!" Rin said with a really furious look. "Rin there's no time for throwing tantrums, after all these years you haven't matured at all." Shiro said with a sigh. Rin glared angrily at him and he looked away out of fear. "A-Anyway we need to fix this mess. Shinji go look for survivors." "Why should I did that?!" He said irritated. Sakura walked up to him. "Brother, Please look for survivors." Shinji became calm, "Alright, I'll look but don't be surprised if there aren't any okay. Shirou joined him as well to help the search.
Hours passed since the search began and so far not a single survivor was found save for the group that fought the explosive maniac. Shirou was growing angry and frustrated even more than before. "Hey guys I found one!" Ryuuto said from far away. Everyone joined him as quickly as they could. They moved the rubble and picked up the victim. "We need to take him to ward." Everyone followed Shirou in a hurry. About 4 hours later the victim woke up. "Where am I? Oww, My head!" He looked around the room from his bed to see a bunch of strangers napping.
He woke them up, "Who are all of you, and why am I here?" Shirou looked confused, "We saved you from a disaster. Are you telling me you don't remember?" The stranger said, "No I don't remember anything. I don't know what happened or why I'm here.", then he looked around the area and was shocked with fear. "What happened here?!" Shiro said, "It's best if you follow us back inside, here I'll help you up."
{Two hours later}
"So a huge explosion happened here? And the one responsible for this is out on the loose?" Shiro nodded in response. "You were the only survivor we could find. you're pretty lucky we did otherwise you would be dead." , Shinji said in a cold tone. "Shinji you didn't have to say it like that!", Shiro said in a calm yet upset sympathetic voice. "I'm not going to sugarcoat our situation Shiro. You know I'm right about what could have happened.", Shinji said in response and Shiro looked down forlorn. "It's okay I'm just glad that I'm alive, thank you for saving me." said the survivor. "You can thank us later, we still need to clean up this mess." Shiro said in a serious tone.
"I'll help you guys. I may not look it but I'm pretty strong and I have great stamina!" Shiro looked to shinji and he nodded in response. They walked to the rubble and debris spending hours rummaging through it all and cleaning. They salvaged the broken bricks, they carried the busted lumber bits and pieces, sorting everything into plies and bundles. Finally they finished their part of the work. "Phew that's everything! What do we do now?" The stranger said. " Well we need to get all this to our classmates.
They'll help with the repairs using magecraft. By the way I didn't ask, what's your name?" He answered, "Cross, Cross Tristar. I'm a 4th generation magus here at the academy." Shinji got suspicious and asked, "I thought you didn't know what was going on earlier? How did you know about this academy?" Shiro grew irritated by shinji's judgement. "I said I was a fourth generation magus. I only remembered walking into class today until shortly everything went black. I still remember who I am." Shinji still remained skeptcial but relaxed himself for now. "I get it your worried about leaking info about magecraft to an outsider. Don't worry they have my name in the archives."
They all walked down the hall to the others in the class farthest from the explosion. When they entered the students were in an uproar about the noise they heard. "What happened?! Are under attack by terrorists?! Did they set off a bomb?!" Suddenly a teacher entered the room and he slammed a huge book on his desk, "Quiet in this class, I'm sure you're all worried about the sudden explosion but-" He was cut off by one the students. "I knew it there was a bomb, we got terrorists! Run for your lives!" Everyone expect Shiro's group and the teacher started to panic and scream running all around. The teacher started getting really irritated and a few veins started bulging on his neck and face. His slammed his book again yelled, "Silence, will everyone please not panic what happened is being taken care off right now. The person responsible is not here anymore, the association has this situation under control so please calm yourselves." Everyone started to relax and took their seats slowly.
"Good I'm glad your all listening to reason. Even though we had an attack out of the blue like this, we will still continue our lesson for the day. We were learning about how spells are determined by the strength of one's prana. Nowadays we have a way to create artificial magic circuits so even those born without them can perform magecraft like any other magus. But power isn't what shows who is a better magus, It's how that power is used. For example we have a magus who is proof of that right here." He was pointing his finger to Cross. "It's true I didn't have much power when I was starting out but I found out how to use it to do so much at a small scale" "It's a huge coincidence that your here in my class of all times. What exactly have you been up Cross?" Cross looked to the chalkboard with a spaced out expression. "I was caught in the explosion that happened and survived. But I was saved thanks to them sir." He stretched out his hand open-palmed to present Shiro and his friends.
