AN: So after some consideration, the Atlantic Celestial Defense Station will be the Summer Arc. Anyway enjoy the chapter.
Ch 86 Anti-Wizard Magecraft
Ritsuka stood before the mirror, adjusting his disguise for his departure to the Wizarding World. Based on the information the Association gave and what his Father and Uncle said about Wizard Clothing,
The Fashion in the Wizarding World is reminiscent of Seventeenth Century wear with some Modern suits here and there.
Fortunately, the Mages Association Uniform Mystic Code fits perfectly with what the Wizards wore. "Do you think I would pass as a Wizard Mashu?" Ritsuka turns to his Wife, placing his other Mystic Code in their Luggage.
"It looks very nice on you, Ritsuka," Mashu said, looking at her Husband. She then frowns, seeing that her Husband wearing his Mystic Code. "I wish that I could accompany you to the Wizarding World,"
Ritsuka looks at his Wife, embracing her to soothe her worries. "You can come next time, Mashu. Right now, Harry is in his crucial moment in his Schooling." He said to her softly, "He needs us or at least, one of his Parents to be here and help him with whatever he might have trouble with." He explains to the former Demi-Servant.
"I know, but what about your plan to teach Harry-kun?" Mashu asked her Husband, knowing how much he was excited about teaching their Son. "I know you worked hard to come up with your Lesson for Harry,"
Ritsuka sighs, seeing that his Lesson has to be extended a bit longer than he'd originally planned. "Yeah…but it can wait, it's not like the Classes we've set up with the Servants." He said before pondering another thought. "However, I do believe Harry's more excited about learning from Sion."
The violet-haired Woman nodded, agreeing with the master of Chaldea. "True, Harry-kun really does want to learn about the Lostbelt. He did learn a bit about the Seventh and First Lostbelt," Mashu stated, remembering how excited he was about learning about that.
Ritsuka chuckles, picturing Harry with a bright expression on his face. "I have already seen the face in Person." The Magus said to his Wife, "In any case, if there are any issues with Harry or anyone, be sure to call me, Mashu."
Mashu nodded, understanding what Ritsuka wanted her to do if there were any problems. "I understand, don't worry. I have everything under control with Koyanskaya-san and Sion-san." She said, hearing a knock on their door.
The Couple turns to the door, seeing it open by Koyanskaya and Holmes. "Fujimaru, you got a few minutes until the Rayshift to London to start the investigation." The Alter Ego informed the master of Chaldea. "So if you want to visit your Son in his Class, then you can spare some time to do so." She informed the master of Chaldea.
"Thanks for making some room to see my Son in his Class." Ritsuka thanked his Secretary for making some room for him to see him.
"Well, it's only right for a Father such as yourself to bid your Son goodbye before leaving on a potentially dangerous Mission." Koyanskaya sighs, checking her Tablet on their Schedule. "Fortunately, director Barthomeloi and the Mages accompanying her are checking things out in the Wandering Sea."
Ritsuka shrugs, not minding that the Vice director and the Mages checking things out. After all, this is one of the major Magecraft Organizations. "Well, that's fine. Anyways Holmes did you get the other Servant that'll be joining us?" He asked the Ruler.
Holmes nodded, smiling softly at his master. "Of course, considering that we're going to the Wizarding World and a Dead Apostle. It's best to bring in someone who could be best in fighting a Dead Apostle," The Famous Detective said, turning around to the door.
Stepping inside the room, a pale blonde bearded Man with the tips being pale green. He wore a Noble black outfit and held a long Lance. "Forgive my intrusion to your room, master." The Servant spoke, standing before his master.
"Servant, Berserker, Vlad Tepes III volunteer to assist with your Investigation." Vlad III Berserker announced to the master of Chaldea.
"Lord Vlad, I wasn't expecting you to accompany Holmes-san and Ritsuka?" Mashu asked, relieved to see the Berserker lending his power to them. "But I thought you don't like to be involved with Vampires or Dead Apostles."
Vlad III nodded, not denying that he hates to be associated with Vampires. "Indeed, I have always desired to separate my Name with Vampires. However, it doesn't mean I won't fight against them." The Berserker said to the former Demi-Servant. "I'm willing to use the Vampiric Power that I materialize with to protect my master."
"Besides, I do have some connections to the Wizarding World." Vlad III admits to the two.
"You do, Lord Vlad?" Ritsuka asked before shaking his Head. "Of course you do, your Lancer Version did mention you have a connection with them." He commented,
"Mr. Fujimaru, it's best to know that many of Chaldea Servants have a connection to the Wizarding World," Holmes stated, explaining to his master. "Though some were more inclined to Knights and Mystery. Some were once governing Leaders with knowledge of their Society, others just so happen to encounter them out of a whim." The Ruler explained to him.
Vlad III nodded, supporting his fellow Chaldean Servant. "Indeed, as you're aware the Vampiric side greatly portrays me as the one known as Dracula." The Berserker said, turning to Koyanskaya who was doing something on her Tablet.
The Alter Ego pulls up a document sent by the Association about the inner workings of the Wizarding World. "Seems like there's a small group of Vampires who sided with this Voldemort guy during what the Wizards call the First Wizarding World," Koyanskaya explains to the group. "Regardless, they greatly view both Vlad and Elizabeth Bathory or Carmilla as Figureheads of their Society."
Bloodsucker he is not. Carmilla on the other hand most likely shrugs it off, "Such arrogance, I will not stoop down to partake any of their Culture." He growls,
"Ease there, Lord Vlad." Ritsuka calmed his Servant. "We can worry about later. For now, we have a Dead Apostle lurking around the Wizarding World." He said before hearing Mashu ask something.
"Is it wise to bring two Servants to the Wizarding World? I know it's just reconnaissance, but don't you think you should have at least one more Servant to accompany you?" Mashu asked, wanting to know that her Husband was safe. Not that both Vlad III and Holmes would protect him, but when they encounter and fight the Dead Apostle, they might be busy.
The group looked at each other, understanding what Mashu meant. "Mashu's right," Koyanskaya said, turning to her master. "Fujimaru, you are going into an Unknown Territory. We only know it from the Documents the Association and the Church gave us." The Alter Ego said, "It's best to add one more Servant to join you."
Ritsuka nodded, considering his Wife's concerns. He looks at the Detective, knowing he already plans ahead. "Holmes?" He smiled at the Ruler.
"I have already taken that into consideration," Holmes stated with a smile, "Normally, we would have a Holy Servant to join us, however, we are going to a place where the Church's presence will bring suspicion. Father Amakusa or Kotomine would come but cannot, so I asked someone who's great in espionage and keeping in the shadows."
"Hai, hai, I heard you, O Great Holmes." Materializing before everyone was an orange-haired Man wearing all green with a sleeping expression on his face. "Servant, Archer. Robin Hood, I'll be protecting master if you guys fight a Dead Apostle,"
Ritsuka smiled at the Hero who stole from the Rich to the Poor with guerilla Tactics. "Great to have you on board, Robin." He said to his Servant.
"Yeah, let's get this mystery solved, right?" Robin smiled, ready to help however he could.
Sirius stood next to Merlin, unsure if he should do this. He turns to the Magus of Flowers, wanting to ask him something. "Um…Lor- I mean Merlin, are you sure that we have to Cast Spells at Harry?" He asked the Caster of Grand. "I mean, I don't want to hurt him with them."
"Oho, now what's a Life without a little risk? That's what you'd always say to master, and Harry, am I right?" Merlin quoted what the Wizard said before. "Besides, the best way to use Anti-Wizard Magecraft is to experience it First hand,"
"Then what's with the Spectators?" Sirius and Merlin look to the side where Carmilla, Jack, Alice, Marie Alter, Marie Antoinette, and Arjuna Alter are watching the Class take hold.
Merlin looks back at the shaggy-haired Wizard, "They're just there to evaluate Harry's progress in his Classes." He explains before clapping his Hand. "Well, in any case, shall we begin?"
Sirius sighs, nodding to Merlin's question. "Alright, I want Harry to be prepared in case of any Vo-the Dark Lord's Followers." The Son of the Black Family said,
Merlin smiled, looking at his other self who was instructing Harry on how to use Anti-Wizard Magecraft.
"Remember Harry, the Spells that the Wizards need an incantation before using Magic." Proto Merlin explains to the young Heir how to combat a Wizard.
Harry nodded, remembering what she said. "Yeah, Wizard Spells need a bit more time before they can perform the Spell." He said, remembering their Lessons. "Use that split second to my advantage."
Soon, a brown-haired Man wearing a white shirt, black vest, and pants with black loafers approach him. When Harry saw him, he reminded him of Seigfried for some reason,
He introduced himself as Seig, indicating that there was some relation. Regardless, since the beginning of the Lesson; he's been teaching him his Magecraft. "Young master, when you're about to Cast the Spells I taught you." The Homunculus said, trying his best to teach the young Boy on what he knows.
"I know Mr. Seig, the Opponent can't aim for you if you're on the move," Harry said, looking down at the Wooden Sword. "So, what's the purpose of the Sword."
Arturia Lily smiles, standing beside the young Heir of Chaldea. "Just a percussion. If you somehow lose your Wand or rarely where you cannot use Magecraft or Magic, it'll be useful to have a Weapon on you." The Saber said explaining the purpose of the Wooden Weapon.
"Fou, Fou," The Beast agrees with the young King of Knights, seeing something like that can be helpful in tough situations.
Harry shrugs, not minding that he has a Sword in his hand. "If you say so, but Leonidas taught me at least some hand-to-hand combat." The young Boy commented.
Seig looks at the Half-Succubus, "Isn't hand-to-hand Combat most effective against when you're real close to the Opponent?" The Living Servant asked the Magus of Flowers.
"Yes, but this Lesson is for Harry to utilize Anti-Wizard Magecraft," Proto Merlin explains to the young Hero. "As you can see, the goal is ultimately to try and defend himself rather than defeating Mr. Black." The Pretender smiled, turning Harry once she saw the Male Merlin singling her.
"At least you taught him that Shield Spell to defend himself." A blonde Girl dawned in Silver Armor stated. Gareth, the Seventh Seat of the Roundtable looks at Harry, holding her hands firmly. "Young Lord, good luck in today's Class."
Harry smiled at the Knight of the Roundtable. He wasn't expecting the Brother of Gawain, Mordred, or Agravain to be a Girl, however, with Arturia Lily being a Female King Arthur and there being a Female Merlin, he should be used to this by now.
In any case, he just smiled at the Lancer, appreciating the vote of confidence from her. "Thanks, Gareth, I'll do my best!" Harry exclaims,
"Fou, Fou," The Beast shared his compliment to Harry,
"Alright Harry, Big Brother Merlin is ready with your Uncle/Grandfather/Godfather on the Lesson. Are you ready to proceed?" The white-haired Pretender asked the young Wizard.
Harry nodded, ready to proceed with the Lesson. "Hai!"
Entering the Room, Ritsuka and Mashu, along with Vlad III, Robin Hood, Holmes, and Koyanskaya saw the Class was in session.
Sirius raises his Wand, having some thoughts about using it against his Godson. However, he did it, so Harry can defend himself, "Stupefy!" A red light hurls straight for Harry, causing Sirius to look away.
Harry raised his Wand, activating the Magic Circuits within it. "Sei!" With a sway of his Wand upwards, an Image of Arturia Lily appeared behind him.
A wave of Energy rushed toward the Spell, in the blink of an eye it cut right through the Spell. "Ha…" Harry was shocked at what he had just done.
"W-What th-is this what Anti-Wizard Magecraft looks like!?" Sirius asked, looking at the Magus of Flowers.
"Oh wow, the young master copied my stance well!" Arturia Lily
Merlin gave a mischievous smirk, "Heh…wow, it really did work! I was assuming it'll need a little more work, but it seems Harry is suited for this type of Magecraft." The Grand Caster commented, surprised at how accommodating it was to him.
Sirius raised a brow at the famous Wizard/Magus in the Wizarding World. 'So you're telling me that you two just created a new brand of Magic or Magecraft just now?" He asked before sighing at what he did. "No wonder you're called Merlin the Great."
"Ah, I really don't like that title," Merlin said, cringing at the Title the Wizards gave him. "I prefer Big Brother next door or the Magus of Flowers."
The shaggy-haired Wizard nodded, turning back to the Lesson. "Okay…anyways, get ready for this Harry!" Sirius said, ready to Cast his next Spell.
"Bring it on," Harry smiled, ready his Wand to defend.
"Bombarda!" Sirius shot the Explosion Charm at the young Boy.
Harry held his Wand, circling around him as an image of Gareth prostrating her Shield to block the Charm. The Shield canceled out the Explosion Charm out when it made contact with the Shield.
Sirius smiled, raising his Wand. "Well now, I think that's the strongest Shield Charm than Protego." He commented, impressed by what he saw.
On the side, the group of Servants, Ritsuka, and Mashu were observing Harry use Anti-Wizard Magecraft. "Hmm…impressive, the young master seems to be well suited for this Anti-Wizard Magecraft." Vlad III studied how Harry fights and uses the Spells.
"Gotta say, this the First-time I've ever seen a Wizard using Spells," Robin commented, never encountered Wizards before. "So those Wands we have to look out for,"
"Take this as a preview of what we might encounter during our Mission," Holmes suggested to the Green Archer,
The orange-haired Archer looks at the Detective, questioning his statement. "Isn't the Mission just reconnaissance?" Robin asked, tilting his Head at the Ruler. "I get that we might fight that Dead Apostle, but-wait, hold on. Never mind, scratch that."
"Master," Ritsuka turns to Marie, coming over to him. "Are you here to see the Petit Maître before you leave?" The Rider asked her master,
"That's right, how he's doing?" Ritsuka asked as Mashu stood next to him, wanting to know how her Son was doing.
"For someone who's only gotten a few Battle experiences, he's doing good." Marie Alter crossed her arms, looking down at the Lesson below. "For the most part."
Alice skips over to the black-haired Magus, smiling at him. "Harry is doing great," The Caster looks at the young Boy,
Harry saw multiple Spells towards him, Sirius Casted Levioso, Bombarda, Expelliarmus, Stupefy, and many more.
Everyone watched as Harry shielded himself from the Levitation Charm. He then leaps out of the way from the Explosion Charm before countering the Stunning Charm.
Harry held his fingers out, announcing a Spell. "Gandr!" A red ball rushed towards the Stunning Charm. A small explosion appeared upon contact with the Charm.
"Haha! Good job there, Pup!" Sirius laughs, seeing Harry was taking what he learned from his Lessons with Leonidas.
"Good, but try a barrage of Spells. I like to see how Harry's going to react to it." Merlin commented, liking what he saw so far.
Sirius looked at the Grand Caster, a bit unsure of the idea. "Are you sure about this?" He asked, wanting to make sure with him.
Merlin nodded, "Of course, if anything happens, I'll intervene."
The shaggy-haired Man nodded, Casting a barrage of Spells at the young Heir of Chaldea.
"Really? Isn't this a bit much?" Harry quickly looks back at Proto Merlin, Seig, Gareth, Fou, and Arturia Lily.
Proto Merlin shrugs before singling for the young master to proceed with what he's doing. "This Lesson is on how you do well with Magecraft. You understand the Anti-Wizard Magecraft well and use what you learn from Leonidas and Chen Gong." The Pretender explains to the young Boy. "However, I do want to see what you're made of when a bunch of Spells are heading towards you."
"You can do it, young master!" Arturia Lily cheered, having faith that the young master to succeed.
"Fou, Fou!" Fou exclaims, also having faith in him.
Seig raises his arms, pointing to his arm. An indication of what he taught him at the beginning of the Class.
Harry nodded, understanding what the Living Servant was suggesting. He knelt to the ground and placed his hand on the floor.
He concentrated as his Magic flowed through his arm to his hand. The Spells Sirius Casted was nearing the target,
Harry looks up, "Gehen!" With one powerful voice, the ground burst into square blocks, deflecting the barrage of Spells.
Ritsuka and the others were surprised by how quickly Harry made a makeshift Wall in seconds.
Sieg had a proud expression on his face when Harry did that Spell. "He's doing well, he's picking up what we're teaching him quickly," The Caster stated, observing the Boy.
"Considering that Harry loves to Learn new things, he is bound to pick up things quickly." Proto Merlin commented, impressed at how quickly he picked up the Lessons. "In any case," She gazes over to Harry, using the debris as a barricade from the Spells.
Soon enough, Harry traverses through the rubble, appearing before Sirius and catching him off guard.
Sirius raises his Wand, about to disarm Harry's Wand, however, he holds out his Wand towards him. "Expelliarmus!" Harry Casts the exact same Spell his Uncle/Grandfather uses.
The Spell shot Sirius's Wand out of his Hand. His Wand drops to the ground, rolling over to Ritsuka's foot as he walks over to them. "Well, I think you made some progress, Harry, even you made use of the Wand Circe made for you." He looks over to his Father, "What do you think, Otou-san? Do you think Hars did well with his Spells and Magecraft?" He asked his Father,
Mashu smiled, proud to see her Son advancing in his Studies. "Great job there, Harry-kun."
"Thanks, Mom," Harry said, turning to his Godfather/Grandfather for his opinion.
Sirius looks at his Godson/Grandson before looking at his Son and answering him. "Well, considering that this is an advanced Magic Tutoring Session with some new Spells to what I'm used to…" He smiled at Harry, "I'd say, Pup here is really better than what Children in the Wizarding World learned in Pureblood Families." He stated,
"My Cousins, Brother, and I didn't have anything like this when we were preparing to go to Hogwarts," Sirius commented, admitting that Harry has some skills in this Field. "Heh, no doubt from all that experience from the Simulator and Seraphix that made him quick on his feet." He said proudly,
"Thanks, Uncle Sirius," Harry said, hearing Fou coming up to him to take his place on his shoulders. He then looks at his Father, noting his Wardrobe. "Dad, are you going somewhere?" He asked, having a feeling where he was going.
Sirius looks at his Son, curious also about why he's wearing Robes. Based on what he's wearing, he got a faint idea where. "Ritsuka, don't tell me…are you going to the Wizarding World?" He asked, hoping he was wrong.
Ritsuka nodded, "I am, Lorelei wants me to do a thorough Investigation on what's happening in the Wizarding Community." He explains where he is going and why he's wearing Robes. "It also ties into what Sion has detected from Trismegistus II's predictions." He looks at Harry with an apologetic expression on his face.
"It seems that we have to put our Lesson on hold for the meantime Hars," Ritsuka explains, feeling bad for doing this to his Son.
Sirius steps forward, wanting to speak to him. "Ritsuka, I know you're a grown Man, but understand that the Wizarding World isn't what you think it is." He said, concerned for his Son's safety. Considering that Ritsuka is a Squib who learned to use 'Magic', which is impossible by Wizard standards, he has the right to worry.
"Over there, they really something else. They see things they don't understand as Dark Magic and they look down at others who aren't the right sort." The shaggy-haired Wizard intensely said,
"Dad? Uncle Sirius?" The Adults paused, looking down at Harry who was watching them.
"Fou, Fou," Fou barks,
Merlin cleared his throat, gaining everyone's attention. "If I may suggest something, master. I believe that this conversation should be taken outside." The Grand Caster suggested to the Adults,
"Right, Merlin-san," Mashu said, looking at the two Men who agreed with the Magus of Flowers. The violet-haired Woman turns back to Harry, "Harry-kun, why don't you stay with Merlin-san and the others? This conversation-"
"It's between both Dad and Uncle Sirius," Harry said, already sensing this is something between Father and Son. "I know, Mom." He added,
Mashu was happy that Harry was understanding in this complicated situation. "Alright, I'll be back soon before we say goodbye to your Father, Harry-kun." She said, watching him head back to the Servants for further Instructions on Magecraft.
Outside of the Room, many Chaldean Staff and Servants saw the director and his Father. All were prompted to leave the vicinity, giving them some privacy.
Once they were alone, both Ritsuka and Sirius had the time to talk. Ritsuka sighed, looking at his Father, "Otou-san, I know you're worried about me going to the Wizarding World, that's why I have three Servants accompanying me. It'll be foolish of me not bringing back up to somewhere we haven't visited before."
"It's not that Ritsuka, I know you're a capable Person. But I can't help but still be worried." Sirius stated, sharing his thoughts with his Son. "Ritsuka, I've been gone for so long, you've been taking good care of your Mother when I wasn't able to. I promised myself that I would take care of both you and Mother, even without my Family's Money."
"But I broken that promise and-"
"Otou-san, I understand why you left us long ago. Back then, I was so angry with you leaving and with Okasan developing Alzheimer's and the Hospital Bills getting higher…I never wanted to see you again." Ritsuka said before looking at his Father. "However, after I learned what really happened, you helped us and spent time with us. I've found the guts to forgive you." He said, truly forgiving him for leaving him and his Mother.
Sirius blinks for a moment before chuckling, "Heh" He scratches the back of his Head, unsure how to feel about this. "I-I wasn't expecting you to forgive me right away…"
Ritsuka merely shrugs, answering his Father. "Well, after my experiences in a certain Singularity…I can't be angry forever." He said to him. "Also, I don't think Okasan would want us to fight if she was here."
"You're right on that." Sirius then looks at his Son with a serious expression. "On a serious note, Ritsuka. I know you have Advanced Medical Science here and many renowned Historical/Mythical Figures under your Command. I couldn't help but wonder…how come you didn't heal your Mother's Alzheimer's Disease?" He asked, pointing out something really important to him.
Ritsuka looks away, expecting that question to pop up with him. "I should've expected that from you, Otou-san." He said before explaining things to his Father about Akari's Disease. "Nightingale and Asclepius have taken a look at her condition. Regardless of the situation, her Alzheimer's was in the advanced stages, it's those types of Diseases that these two can't Heal normally."
"Gramps Noble Phantasm and Shiki's Mystic Eyes are risky to use," Ritsuka explains, not wanting to risk the Death of his Mother. "I'm not going to risk Okasan's Life on hypothetical treatments."
Sirius nodded, understanding why his Son didn't use his tools he has to cure Akari. He then has an idea come into his mind, "I'm not sure if this might work, but in the Wizarding World there are certain Spells that could affect Memories. Maybe…"
Ritsuka nodded, hearing his Father's suggestions for helping his Mother's condition. "That…might be useful. That's something I could speak to Nightingale and Asclepius about it when I return." He said, considering the idea into consideration.
Sirius nodded, seeing Holmes walking over to him. "Mr. Fujimaru, we're ready for departure to Britain." The Ruler informed the master of Chaldea.
Ritsuka nodded, turning to his Father with a smile. "Well, wish me luck."
"I wish I could come with you, but with me still considered as a Wanted Criminal…" Sirius said, hinting at why he couldn't come.
Ritsuka nodded, "I understand, Otou-san, see you later." He said, walking with Holmes to the Rayshift Room, ready to go to the Wizarding World.
