For the next hour or so, Ren conrinue with the routine of finding enemies, beating them, some times without even skills (if they where sabers or archer), then resting and repeating, all to get accustomed to his new skills.
Whith that, his ARCHER mastery, and skill levels rise, not much in the eye of others, but in his eyes, it was different.

---------------------------------------------------------------
He raised his ARCHER mastery by 3 levels in a little more than an hour, while it took him 3 to 4 years (childhood and highschool) to rise it lo LV 3, his ASSASSIN mastery Leveled up by 1 for constant use of PRESENCE CONCEALMENT and his sub card.
Another thing that change was his skills, PRESENCE CONCEALMENT now has a second activation, giving him 30 seconds to either escape or ambush enemies that can detect enemies with magic, there is also TERRITORY CREATION that now increases magick attacks by 10%, but the skill with the most action was SUPPORTING CURSE, now at LV 3, with a boost in its effect, being now 12%, and its duration, being now 1:15.
With his new abilities grasped he now is ready to go and explore the area.
Ren: 'Burroughs, can you tell me the current location of the group you found?'
Burroughs: 'Yes master, right now they are moving to the east, going in the direction of the bridge to your right, at 2 Km from your current location'
Ren: 'Ok, let's get moving, if they reach the bridge, they will face their first shadow servant...But first.....'
Ren took both his guns and point them behind him to an alley
Ren: I know you´re there, show yourself "I always wanted to say that!!!"
????: Not bad kid, i´ll give you that, at least you have your guard up, even without enemies in the area
with those words, a figure came out of the alley
The one in front of Ren was a man with blue hair with a stave in his hand
????: Now, now, why don´t you lower those dangerous toys, i´m not here to fight you know, I just want to talk
Ren: Who are you
Whit those words, Ren activated his mystic eyes in passive state, to increase his pressure, or better put, bluff, after all he already knew who this man is
Cu Chulainn: Ok, Calm down, I wont attack you, the names Cu Chulainn, now that I introduce, why don´t you do it to?
Ren: Cu Chulainn? the one from Ulster Mythology? but you don´t have a spear
Cu Chulainn: Wow, you know how to hit here it hurt boy, yeah, I may not have my spear, or a spear in general, but I am that Cu Chulainn from Ulster.
Ren: I see, well introductions won´t hurt, and you didn´t attack me in any of the chances that you had during my rests or when I was surrounded
Cu: Hee~ so you were able to track me? that really is something kid, specially as you don´t sem to be a caster, or even a servant
Ren: You can say I have sharp senses
With that Ren lowers his guns without placing them in their holsters
Ren: I´m Ren Amamiya, Japanesse in case you haven´t come to that conclusion, and just like you said, I am not a servant, but I have the strength to fight like one
Cu: Yeah I could see that with your Display of skills, as well as the number of skeletons you took out, but anyway, what are you doing here kid?
Ren: Honestly, I don´t know, one moment I was in my part time job, and then I found myself here, in this hellhole
Cu Chulainn is a skilled warrior, even if he was a caster, little lies would not work on him, his experience as a warrior would tell him if the young man in front of him was lying to him, but he was telling the truth, and if that was the case
Cu: Well, just great, now we have humans getting send here? just great... you better try to find a way out kid, this place is the last one you want to be
Ren: Well, i can see that, with those skeletons walking around, but i have to go to that bridge right now.
Cu: why, is there somthing important there?
Ren: I can somehow tell, there is a group of people, most of them humans, going in that direction.
Cu: So more people huh, how do you know?
Ren: You can say my senses tell me.
With that Ren starts running and jumping to evade the obstacles in his way, with Cu Chulainn following him.
Ren: Why are you following me
Cu: No special reason, just wants to see this group myself
Ren: Well, do what you want, i guess
Cu: Will do just that
After that, they dind´t talk more and focus in moving faster, but after a wile, right before they reach.
Cu: Hey REn you got this?
Ren: Hmm? Why?
Cu: I need to do somthing ove there to the right so i´ll catch you later
Ren: Well Ok
Cu: Good See you later kid "There is a servant in that building, and this familiar reading must be a lancer servant"
With that they when their separated ways, for now.
=====================================
In an area close to the bridge, 4 figures can be seen entering the ruins of a church, of those, 3 are woman while the last one is a man.
Girl with a shield: We should be safe here, please take a rest, masters.
Black Haired Boy: Yeah thanks Mash, are you ok or tired
Mash: No, i´m fine master, do you want some rations?
Black Haired Boy: Sure, thanks Mash, do you two want some?
Orange Haired Girl: Yeah, thanks Mash
Mash: and you Director?....Director?
White-haired woman:...
Man Voice: Let her be Mash, she most be thinking about what to do after this
Mash: Ok, for now please rest, we don't know what can happen, we most be ready for anything.
Man Voice: Mash is right, We need to be....!? YOU GUYS NEED TO MOVE NOW!!!!!
Boy: Doctor, what happen!?
Man´s Voice: THERE ARE 2 SIGNALS COMING YOUR WAY FAST, AND THIS READINGS, THIS IS BAD, THE CLOSES ONE...
Right before finishing, a Shadow figure appear landing in the ground in front of them, alerting the group
White-haired woman: ROMANI WHAT IS THAT!?
Doctors Voice: IT´S A SERVANT, RUN!!!!
=====================================
Ren finally arrive to the bridge, when Burroughs informs him.
Burroughs: 'Master, you must hurry, i have confirm their location following the road, to the ruins of a church, but there is another signal, is...'
Ren: 'The Shadow Rider Right?'
Burroughs: 'I don´t know its class, but yes, its a Shadow Servant'
Ren: 'Then lets hurry before it escapes'
With that following Burrougs directions, Ren arrive to the location, by following the sounds of battle once he was close enough.
What he see was a group of people, where two where fighting, the shadow servant and a girl in armor carrying what seems like a shield as big as her body.
The fight was one sided, the shadow servant constantly attacking with somthing that loocs like really big black nails connected with chains, while the girl was constantly blocking and protecting the group behind her.
This was his chance, his chance to clear one quest while progressing with the others
Ren: "Ok, lets do this
Activating his skill, he position himself where he could get a clear hit to use his other skills.
Right now he is a few meters behind the shadow servant and proceeds to analyze it
--------------------------------------------------------------
Shadow Servant
Class: Rider
Gender: Unknown
Attribute: Dependent
Traits: Servant, Humanoid, Dependent
Skill: Depending on the Servant
Noble Phantasm: Extra Attack: 300% damage to a target
--------------------------------------------------------------
Ren: "Ok, I better hurry
Activating his skills caused two of the 4 barrels in the black pistol to shine, then Ren took aim and pulled the trigger
*BANG*
All: !!?
The shadow servant, unawer of the origin of that sound, was hit by both bullets with effect, and started to feel weakened, while the other group was still surprise with the sound and with the new figure that appear.
Ren: "Why are they not moving" WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING, RUN I´LL TAKE CARE OF THIS!!!
Whit those words the group directed their eyes to Ren, still in shock with what happened, while the shadow servant, now aware where Ren was, launch itself towards Ren with its nails ready to attack.
Ren: My god, this guys....
without anything else to say, Ren move closer to the shadow servant to fight and move her away of there direction, to not hurt them with his bullets.
The Shadow servant movements were slow, and it was clear that it was hurt due to both the damage of the bullets and the effect of the poison, this was the first time the poison actually activated, after all, the enemies that Ren face were only skeletons.
Once they were withing a meter from each other, the shadow servant move first, attackingwith the nail at its left hand, aiming to his head, but ren use his gun to deflect its attack, then Ren use his leg to try and kick its leg and throw it to the ground.
with its first attack deflected, the shadow servant launch the nail in its right hand towards a building to its right, to impulse itself towards it.
Now that the shadow servant was away from the group, Ren started Shoting, not towards the servant but to its surroundings, to make it move where he wants.
*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*BANG*
The shadow servant (lets call it Rider), use its chained nails to maneuver every time it jumps from one building wall to the other, but it was unable to run away due to the consecutive shots of Ren´s black pistol.
Each of the Black pistols bullet were directed with that intention while the White revolvers bullets were shoot towards the base of the buildings, making Riders option near none after the crumble of the majority of the buildings in the area.
one thing that Ren realize was the clear diferents in strength between the black pistol and the white revolver, each of the revolvers bullet was strong enough to blow a rock the size of a human head, to dust
after a few rounds, Rider had no other option but to drop down now that the area was a wasteland, it used consecutive kicks aimed to his head, torso, legs and arms, to disarm him, while trying to stab him with its nails.
Ren evaded each and every one of its attacks, thanks to his new physical abilities being able to follow his mystic eyes, while attacking using his Gun-Kata.
After the exchange that from an otsiders view was similar to a dance, Ren landed a kick to Riders side, launching it to the ruins left of the buildings, letting go of its nails.
Before it could recover, Ren aim with his revolver and pulled the trigger
Ren: see ya sucker *BANG*
the bullet went through its skull, making it disappear in a black mist
Ren: Well, that was a little more easier that I though
Now with the enemie gone, Ren started moving towards the group, while they were still on guard looking at the young man that took out the shadow servant
White-haired woman: Romani, who is that guy, is he a servant?
Man´s voice: I don´t know, the readings are similar to a servant but the analizys show that the one in front of you is a 100% human.
White-haired woman: THAT´S IMPOSIBLE, NO NORMAL HUMAN COULD FIGHT THAT WAY AND DEFEAT A SERVANT!
Ren: Hey, stop yelling, i´m here you know? well, if you can yell like that that means that you are fine at least.
With those words, Ren now was 2 meters in front of them, and realized something that was strange in the group.
Ren: "Wait, there is Olga Marie, Mash and the MC, Ritsuka Fujimaru, but there is both genders in front of me. Two masters?"
Ren: The name is Ren Amamiya, human with some skills to fight servants, now may I ask who are you guys?
Ristuka: AH! Right sorry, Thank you for saving us, I´m Ritsuka Fujimura and this is my sister.
Rika: Rika Fujimura, Thanks a bunch Ren-san
Mash: Ah yes, i am Mash Kyrielight, nice to meet you Amamiya-san
Ren: ok Ritska, Rika and Mash, and you are.
Expecting an answer Ren looks at the woman with white hair just to see her pointing her finger at him, it would look childish if it wasn´t for the magic ring surrounding her finger.
White-haired woman: who or what are you!? and don´t you dare say that you are a simple human, the way you move and the skills you show are that of a servant. Now answer me!!
Ren: You should calm down, i´m not going to attack you, if you want to know what i really are, you can consider me as something similar to Mash here
White-haired woman: A DEMI-SERVANT!? IMPOSSIBLE!! ONLY CHALDEA HAD THE EQUIPMENT TO TRY THEIR CREATION
Ren: Stop yealing already, i´m in front of you, and it doesn´t matter if you belive me or not, i am what i am, nothing more or less.
Man´s voice: Now now director, there is no need to get angry at him, he did save you guys from that servant. Thank you for saving them I'm Romani Archaman, head of the medical department of Chaldea Security Organization, a pleasure to meet you and the woman in front of you is Olga Marie Animusphere, director of Chaldea
Olga Marie: Romani, why are you trusting him so fast, the same to you people, we don´t know him, and above all else, he can´t be trusted if he just appear here in this singularity, he might be even involved in the reason for this singularity
Ren: Did she forgot her pressure pills or something? Besides, if i wanted to kill you, i would have shot you before the fight
With that, Olga Marie started thinking but she couldn´t find any other thing to say so decided to stay quiet
Romani: Ok, now that thas clear, can i ask some Questions Amamiya-kun
Ren: Very well, what do you want to ask?
Romani: Where did you came from? are you from this singularity or from another place?
Ren: by singularity, you been this world? then no, i am not from this world, i was in my part time job before i woke up in some ruins south from here, along side the skills and equipment that you see
Romani: Wait, so you where summoned here?
Ren: yeah, i think, even my clothes change to this uniform
With those words everyone paid attention to Rens clothes and saw that those were similar to the uniform worn by ritsuka but the shirt and belt color were inverted
Olga Marie: Enough, let get right to the point, do you know how to resolve this singularity?
Ren: if you mean how to destroy this pocket world then yes, i know
Olga Marie: How and Why do you know that
Ren: Can´t say, i just know
Olga Marie: ...
Ren just shrugged his shoulders to Olga Marie ´s question, making her obviously mad.
Ren: Ok, forget that, if you want to destroy this strange world then you need the holy grail that exist in this city
Romani: So we really are in a holy grail war?
Ren: a Remnant of one, don´t know the current situation of this war for sure but the only other servant that i have encounter was a caster, different to the shadow servant, he look just like another person
Ritsuka: do you know where can we find him?
Ren: he was going toward north from here, crossing the bridge, to that shrine in the mountain, he may still be there
Mash: May as well go, we don´t have any other idea what to do anyways
Ren: Well if you don't mind I'm going with you guys.
Rika: Really! Thanks, Ren-san
Ritsuka: Yeah thank you very much for your help
Ren: No need, i want to get out of here just like you guys
Romani: With Amamiya-kun with us, now wh have more firepower to face enemies
Olga Marie: *sigh*... No other way then let's go
With that the group started moving towards the bridge, to meet Cu Chulainn, and Ren received a new notification
