After the meeting with Rin, me and assassin returned home. The home was a quiet sanctuary to the both of us, a haven away from worry. At least, that is what I felt about two places, my home and the Tohsaka manor. I led Sasaki to the living room and began to brew tea while he sat down. after the tea was done, I poured two glasses, one for me and one for him. The tea was a bit bitter, but the flavor was good. "So Assassin, do you feel prepared for this war?" I asked my servant as I sat my tea down. Sasaki took time to answer me and I took another sip of tea as he answered me.
"Well, I am the weakest class of servant, though you seemingly remedied that notion. So I can say I am prepared for war" said Sasaki as he sipped his tea. I smiled at his answer and I liked his confidence. "Well, let me grant you something to use on your opponents. Consider it a noble phantasm" I told him as I summoned a sword sheathed in an old scabbard. I of course modified it to be used without the death and revival requirement that it had in game. The mortal blade, a blade that is the bane of all immortals, enhanced by a large degree. "Oh, this sword looks very old, but I can feel the power within" said Sasaki as he held the blade. "By this worlds standards, it has alot of mystery within it, and it should be a good weapon to use" I said to Assassin as I then began heading up towards my room, waving assassin goodnight, as I then drifted into darkness.

You know that when you sleep, you dream right? Well in the fate universe, if your a master you can percieve the memories of your servant, or heroic spirit in the more correct term. All I saw was a swordsman wondering from place to place. Practicing and honing his art of swordsmanship through many battles. However, before I saw the end I awoke. While I would have loved to finish that dream, I can call on it anytime if I want to so it does not matter. I began to head downstairs as I saw Sasaki wasn't in the house. Using my bond with him, I was able to sense he was in the backyard. He apparently was training and refining his new sword, with every swing came red after effects.
"How you feeling about your new sword?" I asked him as he executed another move, which looks like he was trying to replicate Tsubame Gaeshi, his phantasm. "Well it is different from my normal sword, but I think I can use it in some situations" he responded to me. I shook my head and beckoned him to my side. "Alrighty Sasaki, I need you to be in spirit form when I go to school, and reduce your presence so any potential masters don't find us out" I said to him as I headed inside to get ready. I put on my uniform, ate some breakfast and headed to school. As I neared the school gate, I spotted Rin seemingly waiting for me.
"So, how went the night?" I asked her as signs of frustration showed on her face. "I hate my servant" she muttered under her breath, though along with it was the slight chuckle of the very servant himself. I laughed quietly at her misfortune and we headed inside together. As we went inside, we walked by Shirou Emiya, the protagonist himself. The flawed student of the magus killer, who was a flawed teacher. "Hey Shirou" I said to him as we walked by, the redhead responding in kind as he walked by. We we finally made it to class when the bell began to ring.
Entering the class room was Fujimaru-Sensei with her jubulent self. "Alright class get ready for a pop quiz!" she shouted with joy, while most of the students groaned. She handed the pop quizes out to students in each row and the quiz began. It was relatively easy and no cheating was required to pass. I was tempted to it so I could shut it out of my mind, but I was eventually on the side of not doing so as it was a stupid, yet valid use of my power. Then again, why should I care.
I finished the quiz in five minutes and handed it in. I then got myself comfortable while pulling out a notebook and pen and began writing down ideas for spells or abilities I could summon or create. 'Maybe I should summon the Horai Elixir, no wait I should summon the Zanpakuto Ichimonji' I thought to myself as I note it down in my notebook. In this time period, bleach just started publication and has not reached the thousand year blood war arc as it had in my time. Even then, my knowledge came from youtube videos and browsing fan sites for information to use.
As I noted the idea down, class began in earnest as notetaking and the sounds of pencils began to fill the room. I went through the motions of the school day, keeping an eye on the future master Shirou Emiya. As soon as school ended I immediately left the building and began preparing for the future attack and battle with the lancer servant. My ability should be enough, but looking cool is also another thing that should be considered. Even if the world I am in is reality and not fiction anymore, we should try to look cool, or atleast look savvy.
I then delved into my closet for a three piece suit and tie. I put it on and modified it with several different effects like enhanced strength, magic conduction, and accelerated healing. The suit is also very dureable as well. After I got prepared I summoned Sasaki. "Sasaki, I need you to head towards the school building and wait there" I told him as he nodded and headed off. I then used my power to summon something, not Ichimonji as the situation is not so dire, yet. I decided to summon a spirit of sorts. "Come, Ifrit!" I shouted as a magic circle engraved itself on the floor to which the ifrit I was after came into being.
It was a copy of Charys, the ifrit summoned by Leon Cromwell that ended up in rimurus possession. By this worlds standards he is a high ranking spirit but is not divine in nature. " Take refuge in my body and serve me well" I commanded him as he then merged with me, now letting me access all of his powers has a high-rank elemental of the fire element. I feel a subtle heat course through me as I try to flex his powers and light a small fire at my finger tip. "Heh, I am living the dream" I said to myself as I then exit the house. It was still light out but it will soon get dark. I then head towards the school on foot. As I near the school grounds it begins to darken, the sky turning an inky black dotted with stars.
I can hear the chase beginning to happen, the spear piercing flesh. I commanded my power to teleport me to Shiro. I then materialize near him, his body now on the verge of dying. I see Rin nearing our direction as our eyes meet. Rin knew I was a mage of sorts, but she did not know my true powers. "What you see cannot be told to others besides Shiro and me okay?" I asked her as she hesitated but eventually nodded yes. I then place my hand over Shirou's wound and say "Restore". Before Rins wide eyes, Shiro's wounds began to mend itself quickly, as if he was being rewound in time. I also mixed in the effect of sleep so the event with Lancer will still take place.
"Put him where he should be" I muttered as his body was transported to where he was in canon for his interaction. "Well Rin, come on we got a servant to intercept" I told her as she followed me, while yelling at me as well. "Why did you hide something like this!" she shouted. "Well, do you just go around and telling magus your abilities? No? I didn't think so, and if this surprises you, you might wanna be prepared for the future" I told her. "What do you mean prepare!" she yelled as we headed over to Shiro's house.
