Quoted By:

You think for a moment on the opponents you’ve personally fought so far. Many of them, such as Aka no Rider’s soldiers and the mindless, roaming zombies weren’t particularly memorable in and of themselves because your strength exceeded theirs by a wide margin. The ghoul Anton Kagan was also weaker than you, but his bit of creativity and tenacity prevented you from defeating him unscathed. In your spar yesterday against Ryuuta you also were significantly stronger, but his skill in hand-to-hand combat considerably closed the gap. It was the clones of Sun Wukong that forced your back against the wall and pushed you to your limit, but there was something about it that you enjoyed, in spite of the hardship. No, ‘in spite of’ isn’t right; it was the act of withstanding and defeating a powerful opponent that you found gratifying.

“You fought against the main body of Sun Wukong on an even footing, didn’t you?” You ask the woman with complexion and hair as white as snow, “I’d also like to see how you fight first-hand, using the training-weapons.”

She bows her head in assent, before picking up a wooden version of her spear and a familiar looking weapon that she hands to you, “I prepared a mace that should wield similarly to yours.”

Gently swinging it through the air to test the balancing, you’re impressed at how close an approximation it is. You don’t recall her ever holding your mace before; her sense of measurement for this kind of thing must be rather precise. Remembering the wound in your stomach, you point to it before saying, “Thank you; could you try to avoid hitting me here? A direct hit might break the wound open, even with your spell softening the blow.”

“I understand.” She replies as she readies her spear in a defensive stance, “You may begin at your discretion.”

You start slow while your opponent focuses on defending to sate her curiosity. It doesn’t take long for you to realize that in terms of weapon-choice, she seems to have an advantage in a dueling scenario, given the reach of her spear. You begin to get a sense for how she goes about dealing with your strikes: rather than matching strength against strength, which you know she could do with ease, she maintains distance and deflects them in an efficient manner that you might describe as mechanical. Even though you’re strong enough to quickly recover your mace to a readied position after she deflects it, your movements are wasting much more energy than hers. Then again, you do have a free hand that you’re not doing much with.

Picking up the pace, you press forward, let her parry one of your mace-swings before trying to grapple her spear. However, she retracts her weapon before thrusting it downward toward your thigh. As you exhale in discomfort from the hit, she hops back and notes, “A commendable attempt, but perhaps you’d prefer a second weapon in your off-hand? I’ve seen you use one before.”

You decide it’d be for the best to clear things up with Avenger as the first priority, in as much detail as possible; and it would behoove you to speak with her alone. But you aren’t going to forget about Jen either. “Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll go see Avenger alone, but I want you to tell me where I can find you once we’re finished so we can help you figure out more about your powers. Deal?”

“Sounds fine to me. I’ll pay the gym a visit and see if the Lancer there can show me how tough Servants are.” Jen answered as she started walking toward the door leading to the hall, “Though if she’s pitifully weak I can’t guarantee her safety.”

“She isn’t.” You say with certainty as you follow the vampire to the door. Though you hadn’t had a good look at Lancer of Red’s fighting style, you knew she was able to make quick work of one of Sun Wukong’s clones unassisted; no meager feat. You’re starting to get concerned that Jen could get herself into trouble soon if she doesn’t stop being socially abrasive.

Revealing an excited smile, Jen replied, “Good.”

“By the way, her Master’s name is Yumigawa Rushorou, Yumigawa being his family name. Be polite, and you should have a better chance at getting them to cooperate.” You offer as advice.

“Mm-hmm.” She hummed as an apathetic affirmative before heading right down the hall. She’s bound to learn a lesson from this soon. What kind of lesson it will be is up to her…

As Jen said, you were able to catch the pleasant aroma as you followed her directions. Coming into a kitchen, you find Avenger standing by a large pot, stirring its contents with a ladle. Next to the pot there’s a tall, narrow pitcher that you assume contains some kind of beverage.

Catching sight of you, your Servant flaps her black wings a couple times as she greets you pleasantly, “Good morning Master, I trust your slumber has rejuvenated you?”

“Good morning, Avenger. It has, aside from my stomach. But I see you’ve made arrangements for that.” You reply in good humor.

“Of course; when you’re feeling your best, I can fight at my best. The pot has a stew, and I prepared some kykeon and put it in that pitcher. Help yourself to as much as you’d like, once it metabolizes your body should get a modest, yet permanent physical enhancement.” She said as she handed you a large bowl with a spoon over the pot. You find your eyes widening in anticipation, excited at the prospect. Bit of a shame Jen’s missing out, but then again it might not work for her, since her physiology’s probably quite different from yours.

Examining you for a moment as you fill the bowl with the stew and a cup with the kykeon, Avenger adds, “And it appears the hatchling vampire didn’t try to do anything insolent; how wise of her.”

That is, until Kuro no Lancer overextended his staff and swung it a bit too high. Then Lancer of Black ducked under it, quickly shouting “HARPE!” and thrusted straight for his opponent’s head. While his strike didn’t land on his intended target, it still left a noticeable gash on his opponent’s left forearm as the latter hopped away. As he stood back onto his feet, he looked visibly shaken by the amount of damage Lancer of Black dealt him.

Truvietianne slowly exhaled, muttering “Took you long enough” with a smile.

“T-that spear, is called Harpe?!” Kuro no Lancer sputtered in fear while trying to regain a proper stance.

Declining to answer, Lancer of Black simply charged forward, putting as much forward pressure onto his opponent as he could. However, despite pressing his advantage due his opponent’s sudden lapse in morale, he couldn’t land another solid hit after all the damage he himself had taken, and with Kuro no Lancer currently back on his feet, focusing on evasion.

Breaking off his attack, Truvietianne’s Lancer started reaching for a bag he had at his belt and answered at last, “What’s wrong, hotshot? One little cut and you’re turning into a blubbering mess. Do you want a good fight, or a fight that makes you feel good about yourself?”

Regaining some of his composure, Kuro no Lancer replied, “I’ll admit, I took you too lightly. I hadn’t expected someone would have a weapon that could pierce my defenses so easily, so it came as a bit of a shock.” Pointing his quarterstaff directly at Lancer of Black’s chest, he growled, “Playtime’s over. RU-!”

CRASH!

A flash of lightning struck the street about 30 yards behind Kuro no Lancer. Since it wasn’t quite in your line of sight, you wordlessly signal to Avenger and Truvietianne to quickly move closer to the café’s entrance to get a better look. It seems that lightning strike wasn’t an attack so much as a method of transportation, as two Servants and two Masters had landed there. One of the Servants is a beautiful woman, her skin and hair white as snow and carrying a spear with a rather oddly-shaped tip, while the other looks like an archetypal wizard, wearing grey robes, a large hat, and carrying a wooden staff.

“Hooh, this looks like an interesting development, eh Master? Should we update my orders? Maybe I could blast that unsightly Caster to ashes?” Avenger purrs. These mood shifts cycling between ice queen and playfulness can be kind of unnerving.

“You’re right, we should-!” you start answering before you suddenly recognize the two Masters. They were two of the boys you saved in the fiery city! You think their surnames were Yumigawa and Matsuda, looks like they ended up summoning Servants and joining the Grail War too. You can’t help but wonder what could have happened to the short, cowardly one as well.

“What is it, Master?” Avenger calmly inquires.
