Chapter 35 - SPECIAL (2)

A/N: This chapter was written without asking any permission to the author of the original work (fate/world) because he accused me of high treason.

In a parallel universe somewhere back when Gilgamesh reached the rooftop.

Gilgamesh had reached the roof top to observe the bounded fields in his view when a familiar voice greeted him from his back.

"Yoh, Strongest of yesterday." An arrogant and irritating voice.

Turning around what greeted Gilgamesh was a face he was too irritatingly familiar with. 'Impossible.'

A man with brown hair with white ends, an angular face wearing a pair of dark shaders over his eyes and a leather jacket on his body.

"Henry Smith…you actually survived." Gilgamesh said with clear surprise in his voice.

How could he not, after all he had turned him into Hen/ry with his own hands.

"Duh, of course I did. I AM HIM, after all." The annoying man, Henry, removed his shaders with flair revealing his glowing blue eyes, a smile adorning his face. "Imagine dying mate, certainly couldn't be ME."

"As arrogant as ever I see, mongrel." Gilgamesh scoffed but proceeded to take out a second chair for his unexpected guest.

"Like you are one talk." Henry muttered under his breath before looking at the chair. "Chikening out already? No balls for round two? Come man, I thought better of you."

"Shut up, I am busy right now. Go find someone else to bother unless you also want to watch." Gilgamesh scoffed in annoyance at him.

"Come on man. What's gotten into you?" Henry sighed as he took a seat beside Gilgamesh.

"So what are we looking at?" Henry asked as he looked in the direction of Gilgamesh's gaze and saw–

"WOOOAH." He screamed as he got and raised both his hands as if a police officer was pointing him with a gun for having the wrong saturation. "Pause man. Is that a middle school!? Nah, count me out."

"Please do, I am trying to start a show here."

"A show? What, you wanna look at school dramas now? In real life too?" Henry said incredulously. 

He was about to mock him until his gaze fell on a certain kid.

"Well, well, well." Henry showed his usual shit eating grin with his full power. "That kid is your Master."

"Hn." Gilgamesh just scoffed in annoyance at his attitude.

"I mean it's all sweet and funny but are you sure you want the kid to go inside that bounded field there?" Henry said as he nudged Gilgamesh with his elbow.

"If I wasn't I wouldn't be here watching. Don't ask stupid questions. Just sit there and watch, if you are just going to be annoying go somewhere else." Gilgamesh pushed his elbow away and snorted.

Henry took a second to think, he looked at Gilgamesh, then at the boy. He looked at him for a few seconds pondering to himself. 'Yeah, this kid is definitely main character material.'

"Hell nah, I am not going anywhere, king of bitches."

"Then shut up and sit down, clown."

The two said, flirting as if they were in Bleap's fic.

Henry sat back down looking at the boy who silently made his way to his classroom as Gilgamesh took out drinks for both of them.

"So…now what?" Henry asked as he saw that the lessons were starting.

"Now, we wait." Gilgamesh as he sipped on his straw.

And wait they did. 

It became so boring at one point that Henry just wanted to go blast the school, so he instead played ping pong with Suk- Gilgamesh for a bit.

But there was one thing that kinda freaked poor Henry out despite not showing it outright. 

'When did this guy become so soft?' Henry could not believe that this guy could be the same guy he fought in Fuyuki. Since when had he ever showed something even slightly reminiscent of actually caring for someone. Like seriously, he sewed him an entire wardrobe? Who was this guy? 

Not even Henry's wifey could afford clothes that costly and she was very very very very very rich.

"Talk about helicopter parent." Henry joked as he and Gilgamesh were having a high speed ping pong match with various teleportation spells mixed in to avoid letting the other score.

"What parent!? I am just that rich so affording to dress a kid is nothing to me." Gilgamesh retorted at that, shooting the ball in his direction.

After a few more games they finally grew tired of playing though. They shifted from playing poker to black jack to golf and many others (they cheated at all games); only avoiding the most fearsome of sports called badminton.

And finally lunch break arrived.

"Anyways, are you sure we shouldn't stop the kid from getting in trouble?" They looked as the boy was making his way to the canteen.

"I could always save him anyway so it's not really a problem. I might even try to teach him something with this."

And soon someone did indeed approach the boy. 

However the homunculus was too much of a pacifist for both their tastes.

"Who's this goody two shoes? I didn't come here to watch him make friends now, did I?" Gilgamesh banged his fist on the table he took out to have a refreshment, he complained about the girl being unluckily a bit too level headed.

"Yeah, yeah what you said. We want war, give us the blood!! Boooo" Henry gave his full agreement as after all the boring waiting he couldn't wait anymore for some action to take place.

"Yeah, wait I will just give him a little push."

And a push he indeed gave him.

The boy slitted the girl's throat.

'Damn, that was brutal. Like no hesitation at all…wait, this feels familiar. Did that priest have another off spring and I didn't know?' Henry was laughing at the scene.

"Is he gonna be fine? I think you mentioned him being a beginner and all." Henry inquired, curious if they would have to step in any time soon.

"Just look, clown. This is a master at work." Gilgamesh talked with the kid through their mental link and then started giving him callouts.

A string made so thin a normal guy wouldn't even be able to see unless they looked at it with a microscope came from the boy but he ducked under Gilgamesh's warning.

"Woah, that was close." Henry said in excitement, on the other hand Gilgamesh was now silent, concentrating on giving instruction to the kid.

The boy ran in the hallway before the thread came to attack him on the back once again, but like before with one command from Gilgamesh he avoided it without any trouble.

"Damn, is this what it feels like to play a RL soulslike game?" Henry was jumping in seat when he saw a homunculus approaching a window to jump the boy but he grabbed a broom while running and shoved it at the window hitting her in the crook of her neck sending her back from where she came from and screaming at the magnificent move. 'Damn boy, he is actually good at following callouts. He really is a perfect rpg character.'

Henry was hyped as hell.

Then he saw as another girl blocked his path but the boy just weaved under her kick with a slide and left her kicking the empty air.

However as he ran from the sword girl the one from before jumped back in from another window, but this time chose one that wasn't right in front of the boy.

Then the kid got blown away from the drum stick that seemed to create a concentrated shockwave. But thanks to the remaining half of his broom he somehow succeeded at creating more distance between him and the girls thanks to Gilgamesh's help and his impromptu improvement at reinforcement.

"Did he get better while fighting? Hell yeah, kid! That's like my whole drift too! Go kid, you can win." Henry whistled as he was cheering like a top lobotomy fan pushing his agenda, but it was no agenda this time, all real.

"See I told you he would be fine!" Gilgamesh also got caught in the excitement and told him proudly.

The boy was running up the stairs when they suddenly both noticed.

The sword girl thrust her Vorpal Blade on the roof, weakening the materials that composed it and then the drumstick girl hit the ceiling making it crumble with a shockwave.

Gilgamesh tried advising the boy but he seemed to be confused and didn't move from his position. The boy was hit by the rubbles but luckily thanks to the materials being weakened beforehand he only received some bruises.

But now the two girls stood on the other side of a hole on the pavement of the first floor, they effectively blocked the boy from both his routes from there.

"Unfair! This is jujujumping!! Why are the villains jumping the main character, it's not fair!" Henry screamed in protest while pulling his hair, how come the enemy jumped the main character when he wasn't even trained or with any special ability. 

"Cheap ass villains can't even do a proper 1vs1." Henry complained further, ignoring that they attacked first, but he didn't care for that.

On the other hand Gilgamesh realised his mistake and gave further instructions to the boy who clearly had no idea how to execute them. 

[...Then figure it out now. Or else…you will die.] Gilgamesh said coldly to the boy.

"Whoa man. That's not very cool to say, you know." Henry told him from the side while making a face. He was eavesdropping on their conversation from the beginning of course.

The boy panted heavily as he clearly had no idea what to do. He picked up and reinforced the extinguisher but obviously it was not going to work. The one with the sword took that as a signal and attacked first.

The boy avoided it thanks to the callout but he now had no way of avoiding the kick that was coming for him. Henry could see it coming in slow motion and actually felt kind of bad for him. 'Maybe I should just go help him…'

He got on his feet and from the corner of his sight he saw Gilgamesh do the same. They prepared to step in and save him however–

The boy's improved once again and his circuits worked to concentrate magical energy in a single end of the extinguisher in his hands.

The next second a blast of concentrated gas hit the drumstick girl and sent her flying away. Making Henry and Gilgamesh raise their hands in exultation.

"Called it! He is definitely main character material." Henry said, pointing at the boy with his hands in excitement.

On the other hand Gilgamesh quickly tried to issue new commands.

[Brilliant work brat. Now run downstairs we need to pick a few objects to use as a distraction for them.] Gilgamesh told him, retreating was a good choice now indeed.

But the boy apparently thought otherwise.

[...There's no need. I already have everything that I need.] He said with a certain air of something that kind of looked like confidence, at least compared to his previous tones as he removed his overcoat and rolled up his sleeves.

'Someone's acting cool.'

But most importantly. 

"Offff. Growing up so fast, bro is already talking back to his daddy." Henry snickered looking at Gilgamesh's face which was colored in surprise, clearly not expecting him to talk back. 'That soooooo~ must have hurt his pride.'

However there was no more time to waste. The sword girl was already on the kid. Gilgamesh seemingly forgetting his previous shock told the boy to run away but–

[No, I think I can block it.]

'Whoa, now that was cold…lil bro just grew a pair of steel. But of course lil bro is too cool to run away. I apologize kid, I was not familiar with your game.' Henry thought incredulously. 

Gilgamesh was shocked once again as he was talked back not once but twice. The two of them were still ready to go and save him.

But the boy was not about to let anyone steal his shine apparently.

He threw a fist with his right hand, which was wrapped in his overcoat.

Once again his circuits flared and like before he improved another time.

The two got closer.

Henry could see it all with his eyes. The girl was faster than him, more skilled than him and even way stronger than him. The only reason the boy was even able to intercept the blow was due to Gilgamesh telling him where she was going to hit him.

'And yet, why–'

The fist and the sword met.

'–am I so sure he was not gonna lose.' Henry looked at the scene in wonder.

At the last moment the magical energy inside the overcoat flared, Henry knew what was happening and smiled like a madman.

The sword shattered and the boy hit the girl straight in her face, the jacket blew up and she was crushed to the wall.

A Broken Phantasm.

But now that wasn't important.

"He won against a jujujumping. Holy shit he did it." Henry was exhilarated and looking at this scene also brought up a certain something from his memory. 

"That was definitely a Black Flash!!! I'm calling it. Bro was literally going at one hundred and twenty percent, I refuse to believe otherwise. That has to be it." He screamed like a child.

"A what!?" Gilgamesh asked from the side (equally elated) confused by the word.

However Henry was too lost in his own thoughts now to answer him.

"Wait." Henry started mumbling as something clicked inside his brain. "If I am Goatjo and the goldie here is Fraudkuna…and this kid here hit a black flash then he is..."

"I am a what now?" Fraudgamesh asked in irritation and confusion.

On the other hand Henry clapped both sides of his face as he muttered. "...Wuji."

"Who?" Gilgamesh asked.

"He's our Wuji Himtadori."
