CHAPTER 5: My Utopias
"Oi Shirou we are done. You can start going to school now."
"Alright. Anyway sensei thank you for all you have taught me." Shirou bowed to me. Hmm… why am I facing the ceiling? Oh wait! That's how tall and might I am. Muhahaha… yes you should be grateful to me.
It's been five days since we began our training and a lot of things have happened. One is that Sakura has become a lot clingy to Shirou and if I had carefully paid attention then I would have seen yandere in her but unfortunately my attention is only on my Medea-chan so bad luck for Shirou. He will have to handle that shit on his own but at least I have given him advice regarding yandere situation for future precaution. How am I knowledgeable regarding yandere? You must be thinking that, right? Well… being a NEET has its benefits; I have played more than thousand Eroges so of course I know a lot about yandere and how to handle them.
Anyway I have gained a few skills in my arsenal as Medea-chan taught me her spells. It seems I am not restricted by Gaia's or Alaya's influence here so with that I became more OP. Yeah… I am really too badass. Shirou is also multiple times stronger and skilled and if he ends up fighting his future counterpart, he might even end up winning. I can gladly say that he can stand toe to toe with Heroic Spirits if they go easy on him…
Let's check my new skills, shall we?
Phase Shift: Rank EX (Active)
Enables you to instantly warp short distances. Maximum warp distance is 200 meters.
Heavenly Wrath: Rank EX (Active)
Bring down the wrath of heaven unto the foolish being who dares to cross your path. Note: Be extremely careful using this skill, it can instantly eradicate an entire city instantly. If misused, it can also destroy the country itself.
Pocket Dimension: Rank EX (Active)
A separate dimension of your own where you can store infinite objects. Note: Cannot store living things.
Gulp… Phase shift made me extremely tricky letting me warp anywhere at near distances but the other skill… Heavenly Wrath was overkill. I wouldn't be able to use it ever. Even if I were to use it, I would have to use it in unhabituated island. At least my Pocket dimension was normal.
Then, there's my new perk from Avalon I decided create and assimilate it with myself.
Avalon, the ever distant Utopia: Rank A++ (Passive)
Being the wielder of the legendary sheath Avalon grants you Eternal Youth. It also grants you with monstrous healing factor capable of healing even at the brink of death and is able to shield you from near anything.
As you can see I have gained Eternal Youth so I guess I am immortal now. Hahahaha… I am too awesome. I have also given Avalon to Medea-chan as well. Obviously I would give it to her since she is my wife. Also I removed the Eternal Youth from her Avalon instead giving her a massive stat boost. She won't need Eternal Youth since she won't be aging at all due to being half Heroic Spirit.
There's more if you are wondering, of course there would be more since I am so badass. I also managed to obtain Avalon Version - Sword/Bow/ Arrow. Having Alteration Rank EX is very useful since I managed to alter Avalon.
Avalon, the nevermore dystopia – Version Sword: Rank S++
A sword altered from its original counterpart sheath. It has the durability of its counterpart but is exactly its opposite in terms of its usage. Instead of protection, it was made to cleave through anything in its path. It's has a special skill which when utilized has the ability to cut apart void itself. The skill is: Dystopia Cometh Rank EX.
Avalon, the dawn bringer – Version Bow: Rank A+
A bow altered from its original counterpart sheath. It has the durability of its counterpart and is made to amplify the damage and power of the arrow notched from it. It amplifies the power of the arrow so much that the arrow gains the ability to instantly warp at the desired destination.
Avalon, the heaven piercer – Version Arrow: Rank A++
An arrow altered from its original counterpart sheath. It has every fibre of its power concentrated on its tip as it channels more energy from its sibling counterpart bow. It can only be used from Avalon Version – Bow, any other bow won't be able to handle the strain of its power. Its skill is: Heaven Piercer Rank EX. Note: Its attack can cause devastation which can bring forth disaster capable ending the world itself.
Well… these are unusable except for sword… nope… even sword can't be used since just swinging it might tear the void open and… I don't want to destroy this universe. So, I kept them in my Pocket Dimension. Not getting to use my precious Utopias sucks.
"Drake-kun, are you done day dreaming?" Medea-chan snaps her fingers in front of my face.
"Huh!? Yeah it's just that I won't get to use my Utopias so …" Medea-chan giggled at that.
"If you want to destroy the world then you can use them." Meadea-chan teases me at which I can only pout with dissatisfaction.
"So Medea-chan, want to go on a date?"
"OK!" She cheerfully latches onto my arm. I wonder how my student is faring. If his Rank E luck is anything to go by then today something will definitely happen.
Rin Toshaka's POV
I have been preparing a lot for the Holy Grail War to bring back Toshaka family to its former glory but I had to mess up. I wanted a Saber class Servant but instead ended up with Archer class. On to top it off, he has a amnesia. Great! Just great! Why do things never go my way? And lately Sakura's been acting weird… I don't know how to explain but she has smiling all day when I see her. It's not bad to smile but something about her smile is disturbing.
I had wanted to ask if there was something wrong with Sakura to Emiya but he's been absent for four days continuously (A/N: The beginning of his training day was Sunday so the school was off on that day). Finally today the idiot has decided to show himself. Just as I was about to speak with him I could feel his mana. It was burning so intensely. How? I thought he was just an idiot who always put others first instead of himself, but he was actually a Magus and not a normal Magus but Magus who happens to have such an intense mana.
I was livid at that. So I just passed Emiya and secretly told him to meet at the roof top of the school during lunch break. Who knows what else he is hiding? What if he's a Master as well? Arg! This is so annoying, why can't anything be simple?
As the bell rang for lunch break, I headed towards the roof top to meet with Emiya only to find him with someone else. It was Sakura. What was she doing here? Can't he get an idea that I wanted to talk to him alone?
"Ah Sakura I am sorry but can you leave? I have to talk with Emiya-kun alone." I ask her with a smile.
"Ara Shirou-kun did want to cheat on me with this WHORE?" Wait… did she just call me a… WHORE!
"Sakura can you repeat that one more time? I think I had some problem hearing what you said." I say giving her a menacing smile but instead of backing down she snarled at me.
"I called you a whore. What else would I call you? You are trying to take my Shirou-kun away from me." I was totally shocked. What was she saying? I look at Shirou only to find him seriously thinking about something. What the hell is he thinking?
"SAKURA! Please stop this." Idiot finally decided to speak but him speaking only have made the matter worse. I could see black miasma coming out of her. What the hell? Why me!? Why do things never go right with me?
"EHEHEHE… Shirou-kun doesn't like… me? It's all your fault nee-san. I should-."Before she could finish her sentence, EMIIYA KISSED HER! Can someone explain to me what is going on?
"Sakura…. You know that I love you yet why don't you trust me? I am just meeting with Toshaka as a fellow Magus, nothing more. So please trust me like I trust you Sakura." As Shirou spoke the black miasma begins to fade.
"I… am sorry Shirou-kun…. I just don't want to lose you." She weakly speaks as Emiya hugs her passionately. "You won't Sakura. So can you let me talk with Toshaka."
"Alright Shirou-kun." She gives a gentle kiss at his cheek and leaves while glaring at me. That glare meant 'I am watching you.' I am sure of it. How did that gentle Sakura turn like this? It must be all Emiya's fault. He must have somehow corrupted her.
I cross my arms and glare at him. "Now Emiya-kun will you tell me what the hell is going?" He gives me an awkward chuckle. "Umm… it's a long story?"
"Don't worry! We will be skipping class so we have got a plenty of time."
"Alright." He sighs in defeat. After that he began telling me everything he knew. And what he said to me was too much for me handle.
"So? What now?"
"I don't know Emiya but I have to think things through now. I will talk with you later." Emiya just gave a nod and left.
"Archer what do you think?" Just as I spoke Archer got out of his astral form.
"I think we should have a talk with this magician. He knows too much." Archer was extremely serious. Haaa… of course he would be, the grail is corrupted and my little sister had been tortured by worm crest and has also been implanted with the corrupted grail piece. This was too much for me to handle.
"Archer, take me home. I need to rest. This is too much for me." Archer carried me home while I thought about how to handle this mess of a Grail War.
"Rin… stop thinking too much. Just rest." I just gave a nod and enter the realms of dream or so I thought.
"Yo!" Archer moves forward to intercept the intruder only to get instantly knocked out.
"W- who are you?" I couldn't help shutter a bit. Can you blame me? His mana is enormous.
"Me?" He playfully points at himself. "Ah I am Drake Reddings, the most badass magician there is and besides me is my wife Medea Reddings, the most amazing wife and sorceress there is." I didn't even see the woman.
"You are the magician Emiya has been talking about?"
"Yes Rin-chan." He playfully grinned at me.
"Why are you here?"
"Oh… I just wanted to go on a date with my wife but instead decided to crash here seeing that you and Archer here were heading home. You don't mind, do you?"
"…."
"Ah c'mon. Pretty please." What is he? A child?
"Darling, I think you are making her uncomfortable. And you did knock out her Servant as well, you know."
"Ah shit! Sorry about that. It was my innate instinct I swear." What kind of instinct lets you knock out a Servant like he was a child!?
"Anyway we need to have some serious discussion." He changed his demeanour completely. He must be bi-polar to able to change his attitude instantly.
"Ok… but can we wait until Archer wakes up."
"…" This is so embarrassing. My Servant was knocked out instantly. Why am I so unlucky!?
