In a very large ruin where there is a dungeon inside of it. Nodoka, Anya and the treasure hunters who saved the two of them the other day were running for their own safety, as the dungeon they were all in had almost collapsed due to an active trap when the precious object stored in the dungeon was taken.
"That's terrible! This dungeon is about to collapse!" One of the male treasure hunters shouted.
"We have to get out of this dungeon as quickly as possible if we don't want to die!" Said one of the female treasure hunter who was flying on a broom.
"A trap that will be activate right after we retrieve the most valuable treasure in this dungeon," The treasure hunter who was carrying a very large backpack said while huffing because he lost a lot of breath. "This dungeon builder really likes a clichéd traps."
"Nodoka, Anya, are you two okay?" Asked the man who was the leader of the treasure hunter group who saved Nodoka and Anya.
"Y-Yes, Nodoka and I are okay," Replied Anya, who looked a bit tired because she wasn't used to running in long distances.
"I've experienced worse things than this when I was still practicing using magecraft and magic," Replied Nodoka who was wearing a cute costume with a bunny backpack that came from her pactio card. "So if I just have to run like this, I won't feel tired at all."
The mouths of Anya and the treasure hunters were left agape, due to Nodoka's answer. What kind of training did Nodoka go through, to the point that she didn't feel tired running in dungeons where the air was thin? They all couldn't imagine it at all...

When the four treasure hunters together with Nodoka and Anya were able to get out of the collapsed dungeon. The six of them felt very, very relieved, because if they were a little late going out of the dungeon they all would die. And that was something that none of them wanted at all, because if they died their efforts to find the treasure in the dungeon would all be in vain.
"Fyuuh, that was really close," Said the treasure hunter who was carrying a large coat. "If we late to got out even for just a little, we're going to die!"
"I that dungeon, there are actually still treasures that we haven't retrieved yet," Said the black-haired female treasure hunter. "But since it's already collapsed, we can't possibly retrieve it."
"Our lives are much more important you know!" The Treasure Hunter group leader said. "I don't want to waste my life just to get an extra treasure!"
"Hnn stupid coward," Said the black-haired female treasure hunter. "Betting our life to become rich is a nice price to pay for the comfort of living in old age!"
"Don't compare me to you, you stingy mercenary girl!" Shouted the leader. "To me the treasure is not everything, I became a treasure hunter for thrilling adventures not to get rich!"
When the leader and the black hair were fighting, Nodoka and Anya were busy chatting with the woman who wearing a the pointy hat.
"It's unbelievable that we can safely get out of that dungeon," Anya said with sweat pouring down her entire body. "Luckily Nodoka managed to find the right way out at the right time, otherwise we would all have been buried alive in that dungeon."

"Well, her ability to find traps and dungeon escapes is really very useful," The girl in the pointy hat said. "I myself as someone who has became a professional treasure hunter specializing in mapping and looking for traps for two years, do not have the ability as great as Nodoka. Nodoka, may I know how you can be that good at looking for traps?"
"You're right Nodoka's ability to find traps is number one," The man carrying a large backpack said.
"Very useful," The mercenary girl said.
"Even though you're still small, where did you get that ability from?" Ask the group leader.
"Eeh in my school there is a super large library that is like a dungeon and full of traps that change every day to prevent the theft of valuable books in the library, as a member of the library exploration club looking for traps is a mandatory basic skill. I must to have it if I don't want to be caught in a trap when exploring," Nodoka replied with a face that looked nervous.
"What kind of school has the library set up like a dungeon?" The leader said with cold sweat running down his face. "What a strange school."
"Well never mind whether it's weird or not, don't worry about it!" The mercenary girl said. "Let's share the treasures we've worked so hard to get from the dungeon."
Anya picked up a wand that could increase the effect of her magic by two times. While Nodoka takes a ring-shaped magic item called "Comptina Daemonia" which can be used to see the opponent's name.
'This magic item can be called a rather evil magic item,' Nodoka said in her heart. 'But this magic items if used simultaneously with my Diarium Edjus, will be the strongest combo against the enemy, although somehow Diarium Edjus can't be used on Rin-san and Shirou-kun.'

One day after Negi and Kotarou made up their minds to learn Magia Erebea. Nagi and Rakan decide to physically train Negi and Kotarou first in Rakan's magic villa, so that they both have a strong enough physique to withstand the side effects of Magia Erebea. What Negi and Kotarou didn't expect was that the physical training given by Nagi and Rakan was much heavier than the physical exercise given by Shirou and Rin.
Kotarou and Negi were ordered to run in the desert for twenty kilometers carrying thirty kilos bag on their backs, without using magic or ki to strengthen their bodies. Besides that the weight of the two of them was also doubled using magic runes so that Kotarou and Negi had great difficulty in undergoing the training given by Nagi and Kotarou. On the first day Kotarou and Negi couldn't move at all right after the two of them finished training.
On the second day after both of them were healed by Nagi. Kotarou and Negi are already able to carry out their training better and don't look as tired as before.
On the third day Negi and Kotarou were able to finish their training much faster than the previous two days.
And after seven days of training, the physiques of Negi and Kotarou became much stronger than before. Ti the point that they both couldn't believe that the two of them could become that strong in just one week of training in the magic villa. After a week had passed, finally Negi and Kotarou were ready to practice Magia Erebea.

Inside Unlimited Blade Works, Archer who was sitting between the blades that stuck in the ground, was relieved that he was able to get out of the Reality Marble and having a date Rina for a few hours. Although he wanted to spend more time with Rina, he was spiritually attached to Shirou. So it was almost impossible for Archer to stay out of Unlimited Blade Works for long.
While Rina even though she already has her own body, she decides to return to Rin's body and keep her body in Shirou's shadow, so that her body does not rot. Rina doesn't want to live in the real world without Archer. Because of that until Shirou found a way to at least split his spirit in half and be able to give a more permanent body for Archer. Rina refuses to wear the new body created by Shirou.
"Sigh, in the end even though I've been freed from Alaya, I still haven't truly attained true freedom," Archer said. "Yeah, but at least now I don't have to be Alaya's killing machine and have much better days than when I was Alaya's dog."
And Archer's greatest wish right now was his own body separated from Shirou and true freedom, so that he could be with Rina who was his true love.
