"wow I never thought it, one could forge an identity this fast" Shirou said as he eyed his Personal identification files, from live-birth to his Kuoh Academy Identification Card. It has been a day since I was summoned and during those few hours I learned the existence of gods, devils, the fact that my current master's sister is a cosplaying devil lord and the fact that devils haven't left the Victorian era when it comes to marriages. Anyway since it's a Monday the members of the Student Council returned to Kuoh Academy to as is required of them, I followed my master as is required of me. So imagine my surprise when my Master gave me a parcel containing all relevant Identifications I would need along with a few photoshopped images of my 'growth'. "Is this why you gave me the Academy Uniform this Morning Master?" I was wearing the standard kuoh academy Uniform and to my side was a brand new bag complete with supplies.

"Yes" She answered me simply from her large desk not bothering to look at me instead continued finishing her Paperwork. The two of us were the only ones here due to classes with me being a 'transfer' student and with Sona's Presidency, we were the only ones exempted from classes, for the moment "I refuse to let a young man forsake his education" This was supposedly a habit of hers according to Tsubaki, which while noble actual is a problem for me

"Master, I'd like to inform you once more that I am actually older than you think" I said to her for the third time this morning "Yes, I heard you the first two times however as you're now the same age as Saji, I will not allow you skip education" I sighed and nodded. And then I saw it, a small glance too short to be noticed by a normal person however I was far from normal.

"If you have queries you only need ask Master" I finally said, she had been giving me that look for a while now, however with her peerage here I figured that why she wanted this to be private since last night we continued our explanations to each other. Her hand stopped and went to fix her glasses.

"your swords …" she started however I cut her off

"yes, I can call upon any weapon I own. Any Servant will never weaponless, Master" technically not a lie "as I have told you Master. We are in essence weapons" I felt a small pang in my heart as I remembered that Saber told me the same thing. Damn it.

"… I see, weapons from your old life correct?" she said after a moment and I nodded. It wasn't out of place for my Master make an educated guess, and technically she was correct "Then may I ask what your weapons are?" she asked after a moment

"I have a few in variety Master" I answered indirectly, she looked like she wanted to ask me to elaborate but stopped herself. Ever since I told her last night that in essence, though I was her Servant -and I needed our connection to continue existing- that she could do nothing to force me into anything due to the lack of command Seals, she has continued to regard me with caution. It seems hearing that more than a few servants opted to killing their master when Their pride was stepped upon was enough to get her to reassess our relationship. Not that I would do that of course. So lost in thought I was that I didn't notice that My Master had stood from her table and handed me a paper.

"now, here is you're form for the Teachers please proceed to class 3-C Shirou" I nodded and left the office with a wave to my Master.

Class was relatively easy though being gawked at by the female population was another thing entirely, well from what I heard this school had just turned Co-ed so I guess it shouldn't have come as a surprise. Though I have to admit having a few of the Student Council as classmates was one of the better part of the class.

"Hey Shirou, come on Let's go meet up with Prez and the others at the Student Council" Saji said to me as he waited for me and we both walked out of the room whilst the others headed out first. The action caused our classmates to look at us with shocked eyes and sounds of disbelief. Not caring I simply nodded and we headed towards the Student Council office. As we headed for the office I noticed a peculiar event three male students rushing out from the kendo club with the members of the said club following, and if the angry faces of the female weren't anymore clearer that they weren't fan of the boys, the raised shinai's and the shouts were.

"Oh yeah, you shouldn't get in with those weirdos" Saji said as he followed my eyes with a bit of disgust on his voice "they're perverts who peek at girls whenever they have the chance, scum" he informed me, my eyes widened a bit "I was on the expression that Master wouldn't have allowed those kind of person in her domain, so why hasn't she done anything?" I asked, it was at that moment that we arrived at the office, and as we entered I was actually shocked to hear my Master answered my Question

"Because as much as I want to expel them, I don't have a choice" She told me while she fixed her eye glasses.

"no choice Master?" I asked

"yes ... You see that brown-haired boy that peeps with them is a reincarnated devil as well" as my master informed me and my eyes widened a bit "he's a part of the peerage of this childhood friend of yours Master?" I asked a bit taken a back. hadn't she said her childhood friend was a female? However, instead of answering both my said and unsaid questions –which was clearly written on my face- she merely looked above me where the wall clock hanged above the wall

"why don't we go visit Rias then?" she said "Saji, you haven't been properly introduced right?" she asked and Saji agreed. As we proceeded towards the Club room of said childhood friend I couldn't help but feel this very distinct feeling, a feeling I always, always get whenever Rin and Luvia meet.

[~]

I covered my face in my open palm, wondering how it ended up like this. The Meeting started up well enough though I received confused stares when I introduced myself as a servant –without an Evil piece- though Rias seemed to think I was a human still under some kind of probation stage before I was brought into the Peerage. That's fine by me, anyway as good as that initial interaction were, there were clearly several underlying current coursing there however all these were forgotten when Saji and the red-haired pervert named Issei started one upping each other and then one thing led to another … and a competition was raised. So why? Why am I suddenly fighting a knight from the Gremory peerage?

"Go Shirou! I know you can do it!" Saji shouted happily, I sent him a glare causing him to give me sly smile. Looking at my master I wondered how I was dragged into this mess. Oh right. Saji's big mouth.

"Master, you're Orders" I prompted her, during the whole debacle she hadn't said a word, while all of the peerage -aside from Tsubaki- headed by Saji defended me the Honor of the Sitri Clan to the point they even challenged Kiba –who was also minding his own business-, in … my behalf for a swordfight which Rias agreed to and my Master nodded.

She looked at me directly with fire in her eyes. Yup just like Rin and Luvia, it seems I wasn't allowed to lose "you are to do whatever is needed to win" called it. I caught rias smirk from the corner of my eye before she went to tell kiba something

"as you command, Master" I said and moved to face Kiba. The boy was in a word handsome, with his semi exotic face and hair, he reminded me of lancer in the fourth grail war. He eyed me with a smile though there was competitiveness underneath. He stretched his hand out to the side and a sword suddenly formed out in his hand, it was a simple European broad sword with a single jewel on it's hilt as a decoration. my eyes widened and automatically read through the swords history with structural analysis and what I found worried me, I found nothing. No data on the physical creation or the history of the sword, the only thing I could read aside from its abilities was that the sword was created through something called 'sword birth'. Though I could replicate the sword if I wanted, the missing history worried me, even Gilgamesh's sword ea had a history within it, it just that I can't read it.

"This is my ability, sword birth. I am able to create any sword as long as I can imagine it" he said honestly, did he just explain to me how his ability work? However, that was just like projection, no tracing. I glanced to the side Where I can see Rias smirking at me, then I glanced towards Issei and Saji who were butting heads once more though Saji was strangely tight lipped now, not boasting. It seems My Master's promise of punishment was finally heard albeit not completely, but still.

"Trace on" I muttered the words that signified the magic I was specialized in and within a moment the two swords of black in white appeared within my hand. The look on the red haired beauty and her peerage was extremely hilarious it was like their reality was shattered in an instant. The shocked look of the Gremory princess actually made My Master break out in a smile. A very smug smile, exactly like the one Rin had whenever she one upped Luvia ... ... Maybe Sona was this world's Rin tohsaka? Was this why she was able to summon me? Shaking my head from the morbid thought I returned my focus to my enemy.

"How did you do that?" he asked, I gave him a look that said 'do you really expect me to tell you'. He frowned a bit before resuming his stance, at the end of my vision I saw Rias talking to my master though my Master seemed to have taken a page from me because despite the questions Rias asked she merely smiled her smug smile.

With a motion of her hand Tsubaki pronounced the start of our fight. He charged with a blur, it was clear he was faster than Tomoe, though that wasn't enough. My hand moved to cover my shoulder where I knew he would strike and sparks flew out as steel meet steel, he followed up with a thrust to my side and I covered with my left, followed by a counter to his shoulder. he may be faster than Tomoe but I could still follow him without reinforcing. I managed to snitch a bit of his clothes without hurting him but from the glare the red haired girl sent me and the smug look my Master sent her, her pride wasn't so lucky. Eyes full of bewilderment met mine but with a blur he resumed. He thrusted, bashed, slashed however just before his attack would have connected with my body one of my swords would appear to intercept before the other went for the counter. The fight took fifteen minutes before I decided to end it. With a throw of kanshou his balance wavered then I moved behind him placing the black falchion on his neck.

"I yield" he said with a small smile, though I saw the underlying frustration he was hiding.

"Impossible" issei said his posture sagging a bit whilst his counterpart seemed to stand taller. Rias's eyes though pained by the loss of his knight seemed to shine for some reason. However, before she could even speak a word my Master cut her off

"Don't even think about it Rias" my master said with a glare. Rias only pouted and crossed her hands on across her ... Err bountiful chest.

"oh poo" she started playfully "but you haven't even reincarnated him Sona" she said

"that is because my Master doesn't have to" I answered the question before my Master could "As I have introduced myself before, I am a servant however you seem to have wrongly identified me as a normal human so let me introduce myself once more" I bowed my head "my name is Shirou Emiya, the summoned servant of Sona Sitri heiress to the Sitri clan"

"Summoned?" Rias Questioned "like a familiar?"

I sighed "Yes, however the term is servant" I said in mild frustration

"Servants are summoned Humans used for battle" My Master said

"So like a hero from the past then?" Issei guessed and I nodded with a small sardonic smirk "something like that"

The sound of clattering papers was all the warning I had before I heard my Masters voice

"What?" she said hear eyes confused, behind her the others in the Vicinity were also in similar states

"Master I believe I told you this yesterday. Not everyone can be a Servant. 'when you summon someone you want the best of the best, the best close range fighter, the best support, the wisest advisor, you want someone who can aide you. Someone with skills' that was a fact" I said with a small smirk, now I can understand a bit why Archer acted this way. Rin always said Archer was an ass and I never really understood why he acted that way but now I see, it's fun seeing people like this. Damn Zeltrech really has corrupted me.

"but you said all Servants are humans?" she asked and I sighed

"Robin Hood, David the king, Oda Nobunaga, Billy the Kid aka William Henry McCarty Junior, Sasaki Koujirou they are all Human Master" I said though I left the ones with Divinity in them, technically I didn't lie nor did I answer Masters Question but they didn't need to know that. My Masters eyes widened at every name I uttered until even her mouth was agape

"oh does this mean king Arthur is one too?" the blonde girl named Asia asked. I stiffened and for a moment I was seeing her laying on the grass with her eyes closed a small smile on her lips, her white gown spread out on the ground. And then like someone had poured me with hot water I was back. Seeing their eyes, I coughed a bit. "yes, she could be one too" my master sent me a look of confusion that I didn't understand, however she didn't say anything so I just shrugged it off

"W-w-wow" Issei said "So which hero were you?" he asked and I smirked "technically I'm not a normal Servant" I said and when I saw their clueless faces I continued "I'm an exception … I don't have a lore that would cement myself in history books"

"I figured that would be the case" the Gremory knight said "I mean, I would of know a swordsman who plays dirty"

"Dirty?" the blonde asked confused

"he fights by luring his opponent's into fatal openings and intercepting them. It's insane but it works. You must be used to fighting stronger opponents" he guessed and I nodded "yes"

"I still don't get it" Saji asked "I mean if you know his luring you then wouldn't you be able to outsmart him?"

"it's not that simple" Tomoe answered "his technique rides on the fact that a stronger opponent will choose those locations by instinct alone and in a fast paced swordfight that's what happens. You unconsciously search for weak spots and once you find them you have to attack at the next moment or else that chance would have slipped away." She explained "and he exploits that fact and it's infuriating" she ground out the last word which weirdly made me twitch a small smile

"well why don't we go back to our clubroom since this little skirmish is done besides Koneko must've arrived now" the knight said with a smile and I nodded in agreement. As the two groups dispersed I noticed the red haired king looking at me with apprehensive eyes. She was about to say something when My Master called her attention.

"Rias, I forgot to mention that two nights ago a certain someone sent me a message informing me that he will be visiting you. I suggest you ready yourself though as owner of this school I shall have to be present when he arrives" my Master said, immediately after she said that Rias scowled and stomped out probably to have a talk with her Queen.

[~]

"you were really holding onto that weren't you Master?" I said while we were walking towards the student council room, Sona had to stay back to properly thank the kendo club members for letting us borrow the clubroom and reporting last minute rule changes and renovations to the clubroom. Tsubaki and the others wanted to stay and wait for her -Saji was pretty adamant about it- but the paperwork Sona had done earlier were now waiting for them and Sona didn't want them wasting time waiting for her and so that left me, who had no club and was her servant to stay and wait for her. But back to the topic, she could have said that news earlier when we met or at the clubroom before the spar and yet she neglected to.

"That was just a precaution in case you were to lose to Kiba" she informed me and I nodded despite the fact that comment stung a bit however it was my fault for being cautious so I guess I couldn't fault her.

"Still that was petty Master" I said and she scowled a bit. that was when I noticed a female student looking at us with wide eyes though I played it no mind, they were probably shocked I was walking with the student council however give it a few days it'll probably die down. "yes as ashamed as I am to admit Rias has the uncanny ability of getting under my skin, though I apologize for any slight my actions may have been towards you" she said

"it's fine Master," it was at that moment that I heard it. A small drawn out high pitch gasp almost unheard from my unreinforced ears. I turned to look at a wide eyed girl wiping the window facing the hall, her eyes full of shock and weirdly excitement made my own eyes widened

"M-m-master!?" the girl loudly exclaimed then let out a loud 'kyaa!' Causing the other students to do their own variation of what she had done. Sona's eyes widened before she looked to face me. Normally my eyes would have widened as well, normally I would deny it, normally I would but ... As I said Zeltrech has corrupted me and weirdly this feels like karma. And so I smiled, I didn't care what people thought of me, never had. But she on the other hand "No! I mean ..." she tried to say, her facade breaking for a moment in panic. For a moment she reminded me of Rin, the twin tailed magus was always cold on the outside however on those times that Zeltrech would choose her as her 'patient' her facade would always break and the childish girl would come out.

"shi- Emiya-san, would you please explain to them that our relationship is strictly school mates and that calling me master is nothing but you signifying your respect towards me" she said with a glare directed at me and from the corner of my eye I saw a couple of students rush out from the classroom probably to spread the news. I contemplated following the students and 'attempting' to stop the rumors when My Master coughed loudly and got my attention. Ah well there goes the tsunami, might as well ride the wave.

"As you wish Master" I bowed elegantly with a smile "as My Master has said, our relationship is nothing more than those you share with your upperclassmen, I merely call her master as a sign of respect" I said with a smile that says 'everything I said is because she tells me to' causing the girls in the hall -which seemed to have multiplied- to screech in glee once more though my Master just glared at me

"As if we would believe that!" one said "I heard she almost said Emiya-sans name, even Saji-san wasn't called by his name until a month after he entered the student council" a classmate of mine said. Wow news travels fast. I looked back and saw my Master was nearing her limit, oh this is bad. Whenever Rin made that it means certain destruction. And so with my mind set on saving as many people as I can, I grabbed My Masters hand and rushed out. Her eyes widened for a moment before her glare returned tenfold "what are you doing Emiya-san?" she said her voice cold. "being a hero by saving as many people as I can" I said as we turned the corner leaving behind the screeches, cheers and growls. I may have taken this too far.

[~]

I dodged the steal claws of the beast in front of me then used kanshou to cut its right hand then I dodged the other claw aimed for my head and counter with a sword stabbing its chest. The monster disappeared however before I could even take a breather My Master shouted my name, understanding immediately I rushed towards them and fought the stray devil while they all moved back, ignoring Saji's glaring look at me. This has been how the night has been going, ever since the rumor of mine and Sona's relationship hit kuoh academy -which ranged with me being a sex slave to her to her and me being in a love affair unbeknownst to her parents- she had been punishing me with this, making me face stray devils by myself, though really I didn't mind it would have been better anyway, after all I worked better with myself or with as little assistance as possible. With a twist of my blade the stray disintegrated before my eyes. Breathing heavily for a moment I faced my master "are there anymore enemies master?" I asked, she merely glared at me before saying no. With a sigh of relief, I dispelled kanshou and bakuya, letting them disappear as motes of light. "You know I didn't really expect you to be able to fight five strays in a row" Tomoe said while her finger was on her chin, "how do you do that?" she suddenly asked after a moment "do what?" I asked

"Move faster than a normal person does, you don't seem to have mixed blood in you" she wondered eyeing me up and down "it's a spell it's called reinforcement as the name suggests it enhances an aspect you use it on, for example if I were to make a knife sharper a rock harder and anything to that effect" I explained and tsubaki nodded "yes you did say that your magic was connected to your fighting style" I nodded.

"Would you be able teach that to the bishops?" Reya and Momo perked up at the thought. It seems the thought of learning the skill despite the fact that really it was nothing more than a beginners spell in my world was a bit heartening "of course master, I also believe that Momo and Reya would benefit greatly from this" I said and the two smiled at me. "will tomorrow be fine?" I asked the two bishop and they both nodded at me in unison. "well then now that that's over shall we return to our homes Master?" I asked and they nodded though Tomoe still looked at me questioningly "wait I forgot to ask this with the spar and the rumors and all but where do you stay Shirou?" Tomoe asked and I looked at her with a raised eyebrow as if she didn't make any sense "I rent the apartment next to my Master's house like a Servant should, granted I would have like to sleep a bit closer to my Master" Yes, though being in different rooms would have been enough for me however Sona's assurances that kuoh Town is a relatively quiet city, persuaded me from pushing it. That and the fact that I was raised with a mindset in which it was bad manners for two persons of the opposite sex to sleep in one roof let alone one bed. "well then" My Master said "Shall we return to our respective homes?" we all nodded and multiple Magic circles appear and sent us to our destinations. As the Circle disappear I found myself in front of my new apartment I turned to face my Master and her vice President.

"well then Master, Tsubaki - san I shall see you tomorrow" I said with a bow and when they nodded I entered my new home to rest my battered body

[~]

"well can you tell me what you've found out Tsubaki?" Sona asked

"we've found a bit of information through our Channels but there are … inconsistencies"

"I see" she says not expecting this to be easy "please tsubaki"

Taking that as her cue, Tsubaki Shinra spoke "well Kaichou I decided that there were two ways to best research for Mr. Shirou's true identity" this was one of their worries that Shirou may be nothing more than an Alias he created, Sona merely nodded for her to continue "first through his sword style. I wasn't able to find any Hero or warrior who uses that particular style though there are others who use dual weapons like kratos and diarmuid ua duibhne" Sona bit her thumb whilst she crumpled her other fingers "and the other method?" she asked "through his swords. With this we were a bit lucky in our search we found a few that matched the criteria but not all of it … except one" Tsubaki handed her one piece of paper with a lore staining its sheet, it told a story of a blacksmith who was ordered to create a sword, whose wife died for the creation of those two sword and the husband who through the grief was able to craft a sword that could touch the heavens and the death the husband faced because he refused to give one of the two sword his wife died for

"Kanshou and Bakuya" she said finally after reading the lore

"Yes" Tsubaki said

"he couldn't be gan jiang? Could he?" she asked but Tsubaki shook her head

"I checked the Chinese Magical Society, Kanshou and Bakuya are accounted for so I am unsure how he managed to acquire those weapons"

"Servants should always have their weapons with them" Sona said in thought "perhaps when he was summoned he was given the ability to call upon his weapons from life" she said "were there any warriors who wielded the two swords?" Sona asked hopefully however when Tsubaki shook her head Sona massaged her temples. It was clear without a doubt that Shirou wasn't Gan jiang despite the fact he uses the twin swords not to mention the fact he had died to save people unlike the blacksmith. Sona rubbed her temples harder she really wished she had those command seals Shirou told her about or at least have Shirou actually answer her questions in a very straightforward way.

"Let u continue this tomorrow Tsubaki we need rest" Sona said opting to rest and face the enigma called Shirou Emiya tomorrow

"Yes I agree … though what are you planning to do about the rumor about you and Shirou?" Tsubaki asked and only the groan of her king was the answer she got.
