Lebenschilt Palace, Onsen area.
Sakura, Rin, Chisame, Konoka and Nodoka are taking a bath to make their body feel refresh.
"3 months of physical endurance training in a cold place! Why would I agree to do a crazy thing like that!" Chisame said while patting her forehead. "I must be out of my mind when I decide to join the training!"
"You're not insane, Chisame," Rin said with a laugh. "It's just that you are bored with your daily routine, wondering what interesting things you can get by being with this group."
Rin's words were right on target, making Chisame feel embarrassed. Chisame really feels bored with the routine she does every day. Although she feels satisfaction in her life and doesn't want anything else, but from the bottom of her heart Chisame wants something tense and full of adventure.
"Even though Chisame-chan is one of the two riajuu in class 3-a along with Makie," Konoka said who was soaking right next to Rin. "It turns out that Chisame-chan can feel bored too."
"I'm not a riajuu! I don't feel bored either!" Shouted Chisame. "Hmmph!"
"Ah, Chibi Chisame is sulking!" Sakura said. "Very cute!"
"W-why did Chisame-san's body turn into a child like that," Nodoka said. "A-are Chisame-san has taken Emiya-san's age-changing medicine?"
"That's right," Rin said. "Chisame was the first person who eat the pill from our group."
"Is that the reason she can have a child's body like that?" Asked Konoka
"Yup," Replied Rin. "When she was in this villa and in her apartment she always in the form of a little kid, I think she really loved that form."
"So what if I loved the form when I was 7 years old!" Chisame said who looking really annoyed. "This form is very practical for me to use! I don't have to feel the menstrual pain! And I feel healthier in this form! I can also do a cosplay that I can't do before! So I will wear this form as long as I like!"
"Hmm that age-changing pill is really practical, if by following the physical training in the winter dome, I can get the pill, I guess it's a fair price to pay!" Konoka said who was very excited about the advantages she could get by changing her age.
"W-where did Emiya-san actually get the pills?" Asked Nodoka. "Those pills are almost like the Elixir of youth in a legend."
"Shirou-Senpai got the pills from the online auction site on the mahou net," Sakura replied. "Who made that pill and then sold it on the mahou net, is a mystery even for senpai."
"And don't ask about the price of the pills," Rin said. "Just remembering is driving me crazy!"
"Aaah I can't wait to get those pills!" Konoka said with a very happy tone.

In a large circular courtyard that connected to the many bridges of the Lebenschilt palace.
Kotaro, Arturia, Negi, Asuna and Evangeline were gathered together to test Asuna's current abilities.
"So, Arturia-san, I just have to fight Negi, right," Asuna said. "To test the level of my fighting ability?"
"Yes, this is an order from Shirou," Arturia said. "He wants to know how far your abilities have progressed and my job is to be the referee of the fight between you and Negi."
"Hmm, I see," Asuna said. "But if Shirou-kun really wanted to test me, why he wasn't here right now and done it by himself?"
"Right now Shirou is testing the ability of Gu Fei and Kaede's fighting prowess in the tropical dome together with Setsuna," Arturia said.. "That's why I'll be the one who will test you instead of Shirou! Because I lost in Janken againts Setsuna!"
"You should see how ridiculous Arturia and Setsuna are when the two of them fight over the right to accompanying Shirou testing Kaede and Gu Fei!" Evangeline said. "They fight like a little kid, so shirou is forced to stop their fight."
"Please don't talk about that anymore Evangeline-san," Arturia said with a flushed face. "That was one of the most embarassing thing that happen in my life!"
"Shirou-Nii-san's face got bruised when he tried to stop the fight," Kotaro said.
"Which is healed instantly in just 1 second," Negi said. "Shirou-Nii body became more weirder every day."
"Hmm well," Asuna said. "Then Negi, let's start the fight!"
Asuna immediately used Kankaho then took out her harisen, and prepared to attack Negi.
'Negi's magic won't work on me!' Asuna said. 'After all, with my recent Kanka ki upgrade. I won't lose in terms of speed and strength! '
Unfortunately what Asuna saw after she got ready didn't make sense to her. When Asuna looked at Negi using the same technique as her, Kankaho, but the energy generated by Negi felt bigger and smoother. In contrast to her Kanka-ki which feels more rough and is not as big as Negi's Kanka-ki.
"Wh-why can you do Kankaho too!" Dhouted Asuna. "H-how come !?"
"During the 6 months training in the winter dome, Shirou-Nii taught me and Kotaro how to control our ki and magic in more better way," Negi said. "And Kankaho is the result of 6 months training, Kotaro and I can now use it just fine but not up to the level of Takamichi or Shirou-Nii. "
"Shirou-kun also can use Kankaho?" Asuna said. 'Somehow I don't feel surprised that he can do it too.'
"Yeah, he can," Negi said. "Almost at Takamichi level!"
"I don't want to remember that painful moment anymore," Kotaro said. "The training Shirou-Nii-san gave us so that we can control our magic energy to near perfection traumatized me!"
"Ahaha that's right," Chamo said who came out of Negi's shirt pocket. "Aniki and Kotaro Aniki wet themselves because of the training given by Shirou Aniki!"
"Shut your mouth Chamo!" Kotaro and Negi said.
"Stop talking and start the fight!" Shouted Evangeline. "There are other things I want to do! I can't accompany you all day!"
Evangeline's scream made Asuna and Negi realize that they were forgetting the fight they both should have had.
"Finally you guys stopped talking," Arturia said. "I'm bored, just stay quiet waiting for you to chat."
And now Negi and Asuna feel embarrassed, because the two of them have made Arturia, who is the referee of their battle, wait a long time.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Let's the fight begins!" Arturia said.
Negi who uses kung fu stances with a body covered by Kanka ki and Asuna whose body is covered by Kanka ki just like Negi while holding her harisen without any stance, look so tense. But actually the one who felt tense was Asuna, because she knew that Negi's current ability might surpass her.
Asuna prepared to do a quick move and attack Negi, but before she could blink, Negi was already holding her right hand that was holding her harisen and Negi's left elbow was pressing into her stomach. Negi's attack made Asuna drop her harisen and the pressure from Negi's left elbow made Asuna's body bounce several meters causing her body to hit the wall.
Negi's elbow blow made Asuna spit out the food she ate earlier and the grip that Shirou did to her right hand caused quite a bruise, and Asuna could feel that the part of her stomach that was elbowed by Negi had a more severe bruise.
Since Arturia didn't allow Negi to attack any further, Asuna was able to get back up and take back her harisen. Asuna's right hand could no longer hold the harisen, so she used her left hand to hold the harisen. Asuna used a quick move to shorten her distance from Negi and tried to hit him with a harisen, but Negi easily dodged Asuna's harisen attack. And hit Asuna from behind.
Once again, Asuna, was thrown backwards. Afterwards Asuna tried to attack Negi many times, but Negi just dodged and hit Asuna in the non-vital parts and made Asuna fall many times.
Negi restrained himself from injuring Asuna too badly when the two of them fought. Necause if he seriously hit Asuna, even though Asuna's body was protected by Kanka ki. Asuna would die in one hit.
Finally Asuna was exhausted and couldn't stand up anymore, Asuna had run out of stamina and her body was battered and covered with bruises everywhere. Asuna didn't expect that the difference in strength between her was really big. To the extent that she couldn't even touch Negi at all, because Negi could avoided all of her attacks so easily.

It wasn't long after all of Asuna's wounds were treated by Chachamaru.
Asuna who had finished being treated was sitting in the lounge in the Lebenslitch Palace surrounded by Negi, Kotaro, Evangeline and Arturia.
"Have you noticed the difference between your strength and that brat Kagurazaka Asuna?" Asked Evangeline.
"Yes," Asuna replied. "If Negi wants, he can beat me and even kill me whenever he wants in the fight earlier. The difference in our strength is too big, with my strength right now is impossible for me to defeat Negi, I now understand why Shirou-kun is so insistent on forcing us to train our physique in the winter dome, my current strength right now is not enough to be able to survive in the wizarding world. "
"Mundus Magicus is a very dangerous place," Evangeline said. "Immense strength is what you needed to survive in that place."
"That's why Shirou-Nii forced all members of our group to train their physic in the winter dome," Negi said. "Mundus Magicus which is the center of the Moonlite World on this dimension is a place full of dangers everywhere."
"Well, although it was because of training at that place I didn't want to do more training!" Arturia said. "6 months in a cold and snowy place will traumatize almost anyone."
"Yup, I agree with Arturia-Nee-san," Kotaro said. "I didn't want to see snow for a while, I'm fed up with snow!"
Seeing Arturia and Kotaro who looked traumatized, Asuna wondered what kind of experience the two of them had. To the point that neither of them wanted to see snow like that.
"One thing I want to ask you how bad your experiences are in the winter dome that you don't want to see snow like that?" Asked Asuna.
"We can't answer that, Asuna," Answered Arturia. "Why don't you find out by yourself because tomorrow you will experience it!"
