"So let me see if I got this right, you and Shriou went to a bar and agreed to help some guy perform a spell." Rin repeats her sister's words as walks back and forth.
She can barely contain the chaos that she is feeling at the moment, she can feel her heart beating faster than it should have been possible as she looks at her sister's adopted family and their parents who are all listening to Sakura's story.
Rin exhales puts her right hand on her forehead and looks Sakura in the eyes, she is afraid to hear Sakura answer but she has to ask the question.
"Sakura tell me that you didn't agree to all of this just because you wanted to pass the time with Shirou." She asks Sakura who turns her head so that she doesn't have to look at her.
"I can't believe this!" Rin says as she waves her hand in the air before she spins three times and looks at Sakura again.
Magecraft was supposed to be a lost art, as mages were forced to become Wizards so they could access the supercomputer that was found inside the moon.
"Enough!" Zouken Matou, the father of the man who had adopted Sakura yelled at her before he stood up.
'What we have here is an opportunity, the person who cast the spell left too many openings, and those same openings are being taken advantage of by everyone who has a brain." he says to everyone before he lifts his right hand and points at both Sakura and Rin.
"Normally it would be beneath me to rely on " The man stopped talking but everyone in the room knew that he was saying something insulting to the two of them.
"Anyway, the two of you will enter this war and see it through to the end, if you're lucky then one or both of our families will be able to reach the Root, but I doubt it." he says to Rin and Sakura.
The old man begins to laugh as his body turns and twists itself in a disgusting way that makes it hard for everyone in the room to keep themselves from vomiting.
"What do you mean?" Rin hears her father ask the ancient magus.
"It's simple." the twisted form of the old man turns to look at her father.
"Think about it, that man says that his research is incomplete and yet it was able to reconnect everything.
Mystery is something that's supposed to lose its power when Humans understand how things work and yet." the old man says to her father as the room that they are in begins to fill with insects.
"A new path has been opened and I won't squander it." Zouken says to her father as his body begins to fall apart.
Rin can only watch as the insects that made the old man's body leave the room.
"Yeah, so now that the ol;d man is gone I have a question is the war supposed to be a secret?" Shiji Sakura's adopted brother asks them as he looks at the TV.
"It's supposed to be a secret, but I don't think that the one that contacted us cares about that." Sakura answers her adopted brother as she walks up to Shinji who waves at everyone so that they can see what he's looking at.
Rin can see the line that shows how high the volume of the TV is, the first thing that she hears is the sounds of gunfire-, followed by the screams of dying men and women before what sounds like explosions.
Rin can't help but glare at what she sees, as a man who's using what looks like a lance is fighting with an augmented person.
the sounds of gunfire fill the room as the two men fight one another before they turn and kill the police officers who are trying to stop them.
Eventually, all of the chaotic noise begins to blend and somehow becomes a kind of horrifying music that forces her to watch the ongoing battle.
It's clear to her that the augmented Human has lost his mind, as the prosthetics that he used to replace his weak human body were too much for his mind to handle.
Rin knew that the man was called a Cyber psycho, because of this.
As she watched the fight she began to understand just how much she had been left behind by the rest of the world.
As a Magus, she had avoided using any appliances that weren't necessary for her to live, the reason for this was that whenever anything beyond the level of technology that it took to use a rotary phone came in contact with mana.
The thing just exploded, but ever since the world lost its mana she was forced to learn everything that took everyone else years to learn.
The Cyber psycho raised his shotgun to the spear user's chest and yet his target vanished before he could fire it.
The mad man who was more machine than man, used his left hand to catch the spear that his opponent tried to pierce his chest with, before using the super strength that his prosthetic granted him to pul the Lnacer towards him.
She was certain now that she had seen the two men fighting, the person that the Cyber psycho was fighting was no one else but the Heroic Spirit that fell under the Lancer class.
Lancer quickly twisted his body and threw several powerful kikes at the man's head but the man used his right hand to block them.
Rin watched as the man's gun exploded in his hand because of the power behind Lancer's attack.
The two men stopped fighting as a group of heavily armed soldiers surrounded them.
Rin watched as both men vanished before the soldier's bodies seemed to become weightless before they exploded into a mist of blood.
It was clear to everyone who was watching the fight, that neither man had any intention of ending the battle, and yet before a military career arrived Lancer vanished leaving his opponent behind to deal with the soldiers.
