Shirou was at Chaldea's training room, practicing his archery. As he projected a sword, he then propped it onto the bow and pulled the string. He then released the string along with the projected sword, letting it fly through the air and landing it in the middle of the target.

As the projected sword hit the target in the middle, Shirou let out a tiny sigh. "Well, guess my archery skills hasn't dulled a bit..." he thought.

Shirou then projected another sword and used it as a makeshift arrow. He then shot the projected sword in the middle of the target. As he did, everyone that was in the training room at the time watched Shirou in marvel at what he just did.

"Did you see what he just did?" one servant said.

"Yeah. He projected a sword and used it like if it was an arrow and shot at it with perfect accuracy," another servant said.

"Yeah. It's like if he's another version of the red bowman here."

"Well to be fair, there are rumors that he and the red bowman along with his alter are actually the same person."

"Ehhhh?! Really?!"

"Yeah."

Shirou heard the chatter and sighed. "Guess everywhere I go; I won't have any privacy to myself huh...?" To ease his mind, Shirou then projected another sword and continued practicing his archery.

After a few more shots with his bow, Shirou was satisfied with his progress. "Well, that should be enough shots for today..."

It was then that a certain servant went into the training room and called Shirou out. "Queen Shirou?"

"That voice...Bedivere?" Shirou thought as he turned around to see Bedivere coming towards him.

Bedivere let out a sigh of relief as he found the person he was looking for. As he came over to Shirou, he let out a few sighs of breath to compose himself. "I'm glad I found you Queen Shirou."

Shirou sighed. "I'm going to be stuck with that title forever huh?" Shirou thought as he remembered the many times the Knights of the Round kept calling him by that despite him asking them not to call him that. "Why are you here Bedivere?"

"Well...I have a request to ask of you Queen Shirou," Bedivere replied.

"Okay. What is it?"

"Well...can you please teach me in the ways of swordsmanship?"

Shirou was surprised by Bedivere's sudden request. "Eh?"

Bedivere was silent for a moment before saying, "Are you okay Queen Shirou?"

"Y-Yeah. I-I'm just surprised from your request. Anyways, why are you asking me this?"

"Well...after seeing your duel against the King of Heroes, I was appalled with the swordsmanship you showed all of us during the fight. When I saw your fighting style along with your weapons and noble phantasm overwhelming the King of Heroes, I felt a sudden urge to improve upon myself."

"I see. So that's why you asked me that request earlier."

"Yes. Anyways, can you accept my request?"

Shirou thought about Bedivere's request and said, "Well, I guess a training session wouldn't hurt, so yes. Follow me to the training arena."

Bedivere's face brighten upon hearing Shirou's answer. "Yes!"

Shirou then went up to the training arena with Bedivere following him. "Wow. I can't believe that I'm actually teaching a Knight of the Round swordsmanship. Well, to be fair, my fight against Gilgamesh did receive a lot of attention from practically everyone in Chaldea, so I'm not surprised if something like this was about to happen eventually. Although I didn't expect it to happen right now of all days..." he thought as he climbed up to the training arena. He then went to one side of the arena while Bedivere went to the other.

Shirou then drew his katana while Bedivere did the same. "Are you ready Bedivere?"

"Yes!"

"Well then...here I go!"

Shirou then lunged at Bedivere with his Katana at hand, preparing to swing at him. However, Bedivere dodged his swing and thrusted his sword at him, in which Shirou dodged as well. Shirou then swung his katana at Bedivere again, but this time, Bedivere blocked the strike with his sword. However, he was a little bit late on the defense and Shirou pushed him back with the sword strike, making him move backwards a bit.

Not missing his chance, Shirou went for him with his katana in his hand. As he did, he swung overhead, forcing Bedivere to block his strike. Wanting to earn some distance between him and Shirou, Bedivere then pushed Shirou backwards with his sword with force, making him move to the other side of the arena for a bit.

As Shirou was moved to the other side of the arena, he was surprised with how well Bedivere is doing. "Wow, so this is how one of the Knights of the Round fights. Not only that, but he's Bedivere, one of the Knights of the Round that stayed by Arturia's side until the fall of Camelot. And some people say he's the weakest...heh, say that when you fight against him. He's not as weak as people say he is. Although the legends say he was supposed to have one arm, but I see another arm there," Shirou thought as he recovered himself.

"So, this is the swordsmanship of my queen...it's as strong as I expected, especially since after that duel he had against with the King of Heroes. And he's even not using those twin swords of his. Also, his swordsmanship reminds me of my king's swordsmanship. By any chance, did she train him to become the man he is in front of me?" Bedivere thought as he recovered himself.

As the two stood up after recovering themselves, Bedivere then said something to Shirou.

"Wow...so this is your strength..." Bedivere said.

"Hey. You're doing well too Bedivere..." Shirou replied.

Bedivere smiled. "Thank you for the praise Queen Shirou..."

Shirou smiled. "No problem. Now then, shall we end this...?"

"Agreed."

The two then positioned themselves into a stance, readying themselves for one final strike. For a moment, there was silence between the two.

Then they lunged at each other, each of them swung at each other with one sword strike. As their blades hit, they ended up on the opposite sides of the arena. For a moment, nothing happened.

Then Bedivere suddenly kneeled over.

"Guh...guess I lost Queen Shirou..." he said.

Shirou then sheathed his katana and went over to Bedivere, lending him a hand. "Need some help?" he asked.

Bedivere then grabbed his hand and Shirou pulled him up. "Well, how did I do?" he asked.

"Well...you didn't do too bad."

"I see. Any suggestions that you can offer?"

"Well...there is one thing I should suggest."

Bedivere listened attentively.

"You swing a bit too wide. When you swing like that, you leave yourself open for enemy attacks."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah. Let me show you something," Shirou said as he projected a sword like the one Bedivere was holding. "When using a thin blade like that, you don't fully swing it. You actually want to trust it forward with a half-swing like this," he said as he did what he said earlier.

"Really? Like this?" Bedivere asked as he copied the movements Shirou was doing.

"Yes. But with less movement and energy."

"Okay then." Bedivere then did the same thing he did before, but with less movement and energy. "Like this?"

"Yes, just like that."

And the two continued what they were doing...

Within a few days, Shirou and Bedivere were in the process of improving Bedivere's swordsmanship. During those few days, Shirou saw a few flaws in Bedivere's swordsmanship and posture and helped him improve in those areas. Afterwards, Shirou and Bedivere did a few practice matches with Bedivere using the advice Shirou gave him.

"Hah!" Bedivere huffed as he swung using the advice Shirou gave him.

"That's good Bedivere, keep it up," Shirou said as he blocked his sword strike with ease.

Bedivere then continued half-swinging his sword with ease and was forcing Shirou back bit by bit. As the training match continued, both servants were at a deadlock with each other.

At that moment, Shirou thought today's training was enough and then pushed Bedivere back by a bit. As Bedivere recovered, Shirou then sheathed his katana back into its scabbard.

"I think we're done with today's training Bedivere. Let's take a break for now," he said.

"As you wish Queen Shirou," Bedivere replied as he sheathed his sword.

Shirou let out a sigh as he reviewed today's progress. "You seem to doing better than before Bedivere," he said with a smile.

"You think so?"

"Yeah," Shirou said as he sat down on a nearby bench. Bedivere then did the same as well. It was then that Shirou pulled out a water bottle. "Want some?"

"Yes please," Bedivere replied. Shirou then handed the water bottle to Bedivere in which Bedivere gladly accepted it. As he did, he uncapped the water bottle and started drinking from it. Eventually, Bedivere stopped drinking it.

It was then that Shirou asked Bedivere a question.

"Hey Bedivere, can I ask you something?"

"Sure. What is it Queen Shirou?"

"Well...this has been on my mind for a while...but what's with that silver arm of yours? And just for the record, I'm not creeped out by it, I just want to know. After all, the history books said that Bedivere was missing one arm during a fight in his lifetime."

Bedivere let out a sigh. "That huh? Well, this arm...is a prosthetic arm made from Excalibur."

Shirou spat out the water he was drinking from his water bottle.

"Queen Shirou?!"

"I-It's nothing Bedivere, I'm just...surprised with...what you just said..." he said while coughing at the same time. After a few seconds, Shirou composed himself. "Please continue."

"Y-Yeah. Anyways, this arm is Excalibur remodeled into this prosthetic arm by Merlin. It is also my noble phantasm, Switch On - Airgetlám. What it does is that it increases my parameters to the point where I'm able to fight the other Knights of the Round."

"Is that so. But how did that happen? And why?"

"Well...let's just say...this was the result of me breaking a promise to my king..."

Realizing that he was about to enter into a sensitive subject, Shirou felt like the answers need to stop there. "You don't have to say any more, I think I know what you are getting at."

Bedivere let out a sigh of relief. "Thank you."

"No problem. So, how does your noble phantasm work?"

"Well, it's like this. I focus energy into my arm, then I turn it into what Ritsuka may call, "a beam sword," and then swing my arm at the opponent with said, "beam sword.""

"I see. Turning your arm into a weapon...that sounds interesting..."

"Yeah..."

For a while, silence came between Shirou and Bedivere as both of them were trying to figure out how to continue the conversation they were having earlier.

Then Bedivere broke the silence.

"Queen Shirou, I am grateful that you came into my king's and her counterparts' life."

Shirou was surprised with what Bedivere just said. "W-What? What do you mean by that?"

"It's simple, before you ever arrived here, my king and her counterparts seemed to never truly smiled. Even if they did, it was a forced smile. However, when you came here, me and the Knights of the Round were happy that our king and her counterparts were showing her hidden emotions. Furthermore, after hearing the story of how you met our king and helped her, we were all happy because of it. And for that, I thank you."

Shirou blushed from the confession Bedivere said. "Y-You don't have to thank me."

"Nonsense! As our King's queen, you deserve this!"

"Well if that's the case then...then I accept your words Bedivere."

Bedivere smiled. "Your welcome my queen."

Shirou smiled back. "Want to continue practicing?"

"Yes!"

And the two went back to their usual training.

(The next day...)

Shirou was walking in the hallway of Chaldea, minding his own business.

It was then that he heard a few certain voices coming up behind him yelling, "Queen Shirou/mother!" Shirou turned around to see Gawain, Lancelot, Tristan, Mordred, and Gareth coming up towards him.

"W-What is it?" he asked to the Knights of the Round.

The Knights of the Round took a deep breath before yelling, "PLEASE TRAIN US IN YOUR WAYS OF SWORDSMANSHIP LIKE WHAT YOU DID WITH BEDIVERE!"

Shirou mentally sighed. "Why?"

"Earlier, we had a practice match against him and he won against all of us! When we asked him what he did, he said that you taught him to improve himself! So we ask you, please help us improve as well!"

Shirou sighed, knowing that there was no way to get out of this situation. "Follow me..." he said.

This was going to be one long day for Shirou...
