"Irina!" Issei has woke up from his sleep and screaming so loudly, his body still had a fever and his body temperature has not cool down at all. And he woke up so suddenly because he had a nightmare about his girlfriend Irina.
"Uuh, it look like I was just dreaming." Issei touched his forehead with his palm and could feel that his body temperature has stiil hot, and Issei had a bad feeling about the nightmare he had just experienced. "But are something happen to Irina that make me have such nightmares?"
"Issei what's wrong?" Miki Hyoudou immediately ran to Issei's room as soon as she heard Issei screaming so loudly, because she was worried that something bad might happen to her child.
"Mom, are Irina has come home?" Issei who saw his mother immediately asked his mother about Irina's situation, because Issei felt that something bad was happening to his girlfriend.
"Irina-chan and her two friends haven't returned Issei, what's wrong?" his mother replied.
"I'm having nightmares about Irina, mom," said Issei. "I'm afraid something bad is happening to Irina right now."
"No wonder you screamed so loudly," said Miki. "Issei if you're so worried about Irina-chan why don't you try calling Irina-chan with your phones?"
Realizing that his mother's words was made sense, Issei quickly took his smartphone and tried to contact Irina.
But Issei's call was not answered at all, Issei's face turned pale. And now he felt really sure that his dream was a sign that something bad was happening to Irina.
"Issei why did your face suddenly turn pale?" Asked Miki. "Did something happen to Irina-chan?"
"Irina didn't answer my calls, mom," replied Issei. "I'm sure that she's in trouble right now!"
"With the job that Irina is doing as an Exorcist, it is not strange if there is a problem happening to Irina," said Miki. "But you have to stop worrying about Irina, Issei it's not good if you have negative thoughts about your own girlfriend. "
"I know, mom," said Issei. "But somehow I still have a bad feeling about Irina!"
Issei's body was trembling and tears started streaming down his face. He was really worried about Irina.
Hyoudo Miki was surprised to see Issei crying because he was so worried about Irina. It seemed that Issei really loved and cherished Irina with all his heart. Miki then hugged his son Issei and said:
"I know you love Irina, Issei, because Irina is the only girl who can accept you as you are. But right now you are sick and you can't do anything about it, so pray and hope that Irina is okay."
Issei started to feel calmer after hearing his mother's words, and Issei also felt a little irony from Miki's words. Issei is part of Rias Peerage but his mother told him to pray, isn't that an irony? But after thinking one more time, praying wasn't something that would torment him. Because he has become a human again thanks to the help of Shirou. And Issei felt that praying for his girlfriend's safety wasn't a bad thing.

Rias was the first to wake up after she fainted from not being able to withstand the pressure she felt from Saber's angry aura. Rias still felt a little weak, in her entire life she had never felt such a suppressing aura of anger. Even the killing aura of her older brother who was a Mao, could not match the aura of anger that made her faint.
Rias didn't know where that aura of anger had come from, but it was clear that she didn't want to feel it anymore.
After Rias woke up shortly after, Akeno, Sona, Tsubaki and Koneko also woke up.
The four girls held their respective heads, the four of them still felt a little dizzy after waking up from their fainting spells.
Before long Griselda and Xenovia also woke up and the two of them weren't any better than Rias and the others. Of the two Exorcists Xenovias state was the worst, her face was pale and her breath was short. She still felt very tired from the battle she had with Kiba.
Kiba was the last one to wake up, Kiba's condition is still a little better than Xenovia. But Kiba also looks really tired due to running out of stamina.
Rias and Akeno approached Kiba and then helped Kiba to his feet with his shoulders.
"How are you condition Kiba-kun?" Akeno asked.
"My situation isn't too bad, Akeno-san, but that battle really drained all of my strength," Kiba replied with a heavy breath. "It may take some time to recover."
"Actually who is giving off such an aura of anger that it can make us all faint like that," said Rias.
"Whoever the culprit, that person must be very strong," said Sona who was helped up by Tsubaki. "To the point that all of us couldn't withstand the pressure from the aura of anger that he or she emitted."
"The aura that make us fainted is equivalent to Satan class," said Griselda. "Because I wouldn't faint if the culprit who made us unconscious was under Satan Class."
"I did catch a glimpse of the culprit even though it's not very clear," said Xenovia."The culprit was a blonde haired girl who was accompanied by a red haired boy, I don't know who the two of them are but I can feel that the blonde haired girl is the one who gives off an aura of anger that makes us all fainted."
"That red haired guy must be Emiya-kun and he must be the one who took Tohsaka-san and Edelfelt-san away from this place," Rias felt jealous when she heard Shirou was with other girls and she felt a little angry because Shirou seemed to ignore her and just help Rin and Luvia."But who is the blonde haired girl who accompanies him who according to Quarta-san is the reason we all fainted."
"I think she is a girl named Arturia Von Einzbern, Shirou-kun's cousin who will be attending Kuoh Gakuen starting next week," said Sona. "I saw the personal data of Shirou-kun's cousin that was sent by Irisviel-san's, Shirou-kun mother. Looks like Arturia Von Einzbern is the blonde haired girl that Xenovia-san saw."
"Who exactly is Arturia Von Einzbern and what caused her to be so angry that she gave off such an aura of anger," Griselda still felt goosebumps as she recalled how terrifying the aura of anger had made her faint.
"Sister Griselda, I think the reason that girl called Arturia is angry is because of the current state of Excalibur," said Xenovia. "Because somehow when she was near Excalibur Destruction, Excalibur Destruction seemed like it was about to leave my hand and flew towards that girl! I can feel some happy aura from Excalibur Destruction as if it had found its true master. It seemed like there was a very strong bond between Arturia and Excalibur. There is a possibility that the girl named Arturia is angry because the Excalibur was split into 7 pieces. "
"Hmmm the name Arturia is the name of the King Arthur if the king was a girl, plus it look like that girl also seems to have a bond with Excalibur," Griselda realized something after she heard Xenovia's explanation and she came to a conclusion. "Looks like Arturia Von Einzbern's appearance in Kuoh was no coincidence."
"We just have to ask Emiya-kun who really is Arturia Von Einzbern," said Rias. "Is she friend or foe."
"Rias there is a possibility that Arturia Von Einzbern is the reincarnation of Arthur Pendragon, the original user of Excalibur," Sona who was already suspicious of Arturia's name when she received the documents about Arturia at the same time the Excalibur thief appeared in Kuoh, finally decided to reveal theory she had thought of. "Even though it's just a theory I think about."
"Your theory makes a lot of sense Sona," said Rias after hearing Sona's theory which she found very interesting. "If Arturia Von Einzbern is the reincarnation of King Arthur, it wouldn't be strange if that girl was angry and Excalibur reacted to her."
"So we don't just have to take back Valper Galilei who stole the Excalibur," said Griselda. "We also have to face the reincarnation of King Arthur who most likely wants to reclaim what belongs to her, I didn't expect the task of taking back Excalibur to be this complicated."
"If she's really the reincarnation of King Arthur that's a good thing!" Xenovia said. "I really want to fight with her!"
"Same with me!" Kiba said. "I wonder what is the abilities of the strongest holy sword real wielder look like!"
The reactions from Kiba and Xenovia made everyone sigh, and everyone thought that the two of them were really battle maniacs. Except for Kiba of course who fought to destroy Excalibur.
"Ara ara I felt something was missing but I don't know what," said Akeno. "But now I remember it, are you all aware that Irina-chan isn't among all of us?"
"Aaaaah!" shouted Xenovia and Griselda who finally realized that Irina wasn't with them.

Shirou Pov
After returning home, I decided to return to Kuoh Gakuen again because I felt that my previous actions of leaving Rias and those Excorcists fainting in front of the old school building was too much. I'm no longer a Counter Guardian Emiya who is a heartless killer, but I also don't want to go back to being Emiya Shirou a highschooler who has a good heart and like to help people and really want to be a Hero of Justice. Being some overly good people will only make me bad. But that doesn't mean I don't want to do good and help others, I still want to help others. I will do some good deeds, but I will only do that thing according to my abilities. And helping everyone who was knocked unconscious by Arturia is something I can do, but I did not do it and only helped Rin and Luvia, I feel very bad for not helping them, I feel myself back to how I used to be as a Counter Guardian Emiya who is a heartless killer. And before that I've told Luvia and Rin if something happens to all of them, I will be the one who responsible. Therefore I returned to old school building in account for my words.
When I arrived in front of the old school building, I heard loud screams from the two Excorcists from the Vatican.
"Aaaaah! Where is Irina!"
The two of them screamed so loudly that I had to cover my ears. There seemed to be a problem occurring when they all passed out.
Oh well it looks like I'm causing trouble because I don't want to help the O.R.C club members and the Exorcists. And according to what I said before, I have to help them and take responsibility if something bad happens, well damn my E rank luck!
When I was about to talk to Rias about what really happened to all of them, one of the Exorcists who had short blue hair looked at me with angry eyes and said:
"AaaaahYou the red haired guy who was with the blonde hair girl who made us all fainted! "
Well it seems I don't have to explain anything at all.

"You must know what happened to Irina!" Shouted Xenovia. "Quickly tell me where Irina is!"
Xenovia's mind was filled with anger, she was sure that Irina's disappearance had something to do with Shirou. So without thinking about anything else Xenovia took out Durandal from her dimensional pocket and was about to attack Shirou.
Shirou's structural analysis work instantly as soon as Xenovia took out Durandal. And in an instant Xenovia's Durandal data was recorded in Unlimited Blade Works.
'Hmm Durandal whose form and strength are different from the Durandal I know,' said Shirou. "This is interesting."
"Trace On!"
In Shirou's hand appeared a thin double-edged sword, with a black and yellow hilt and a gemstone on the end of the hilt.
Durandal the Peerless Sword.
Shirou traced a Durandal that was different from Xenovia's. His Durandal is a double-edged sword while Xenovia's Durandal is a large uniquely-shaped broadsword with a blue blade and a golden edge. The sword has a semicircular guard on the left side of the handle that extends to the bottom just above the pommel, with a small extension on the right side of the handle. Standing from the tip of the blade, the Durandal is slightly taller than Xenovia, surpassing the latter's height by just a few centimeters.
Xenovia felt a little shocked when Shirou traced Durandal, even she could feel the a familiar aura from the Durandal that Shirou traced. But still feeling annoyed, Xenovia paid no heed to the Durandal that Shirou had. And continued to slashing her sword towards Shirou.
Shirou didn't move at all from where he was standing and endured Xenovia's slash using only his Durandal which he held with only his left hand. With the data about Xenovia's sword skill that he got through Structural Analysis, Shirou could find out all of Xenovia's abilities. Xenovia did slash after slash towards Shirou, but Shirou easily blocked all of Xenovia's attacks just by using the Durandal he was tracing in his left hand. Basically Xenovia is already exhausted plus she attacks Shirou with emotion making her body even more tired. While Shirou who knew all of Xenovia's abilities thanks to Structural Analysis and realized how tired Xenovia was, had no intention of attacking Xenovia at all. That's why Shirou only defended and didn't attack Xenovia.
"Shirou-san is amazing," said Kiba who was amazed by Shirou's sword skills. "I just had a hard time fighting Xenovia-san, but he easily blocked all of Xenovia-san's attacks. Even though I know that Xenovia-san is tired."
"Emiya-kun knows that Xenovia-san is feeling tired," said Akeno. "That's why he didn't counterattack Xenovia-san at all."
"The swordsmanship of that man named Emiya Shirou surpasses even the previous Durandal-wielding Vasco Strada," said Griselda. "Even though he's very young!"
"Do I need to tell you that Emiya-kun is in the Kyudo club and not at the kendo club?" Rias said.
"What!" Said Griselda feel shocked. "You mean he in archery club but why his swordmanship is so good?"
"That's what I want to know too," Rias said. "Emiya-kun has too many secret."
After that Xenovia was completely exhausted and couldn't move at all. Shirou eliminates the Durandal he was tracing earlier then approaches Xenovia and holds the Durandal which has fallen from Xenovia's hand.
Shirou looked at Xenovia's Durandal which was currently in his right hand, and did a more in-depth Structural Analysis then he said:
"Durandal feels sad because you used this sword power carelessly, even you only can take out less than 10 percent of Durandal's power because you used Durandal's power without remorse."
"Aah Xenovia passed out again. Xenovia is like a bull who likes to butcher," said Griselda, face palming because of her adopted sister's behavior. "She's the type to attack first and ask questions later."
"A girl who think with muscles," Koneko teased.
"Koneko watch your mouth!" Akeno said.
"Sorry Akeno-san," said Koneko.
Shirou then returned Durandal to Xenovia's hand who had fainted for the second time in one day, then walked towards Rias.
"Emiya-kun there is something we want to ask you," said Rias.
"I know what you want to ask," said Shirou. "But before that I wonder if all of you have heard about the Heroic Spirit?"

In Valper and Kokabiel secret Base.
a man with white hair who wearing a gakuran and priest coat has stand beside Kokabiel and Valper Galilei, his name was Siegfried, an Ex-Exorcist from Vatican. And now has joined Hero Faction from A supernatural terrorist group Chaos Brigade. He was with Valper and Kokabiel because he got an assignment from Cao Cao to seize Excalibur from Valper once all Excalibur pieces were successfully put together, because of that task even though he didn't like it he had to cooperate with Valper and Kokabiel. Although he also had to be careful so that his mission was not discovered by Kokabiel and Valper.
"Tomorrow afternoon we will attack Kuoh Gakuen," said Kokabiel. "And the Exorcist girl named Irina who holds the Excalibur Mimicry that you kidnapped earlier this afternoon will be used as a sacrifice to start the Excalibur unification ritual!"
Author Note: Next the union of Excalibur and the return of Excalibur to Arturia. Next week will be no chapter cause I must have a lot of work to do.
