"Great…mind explaining How your mystic eyes work? You were paralyzed in your place when you saw… Whatever that was."
The Sword lover muttered to himself while leaning towards the wall of a building.
They were currently on the top floor of an abandoned school.
Under the glow of the moon which reflected the light of the sun, They stared
The master was sleeping on the dirty ground, Caster hated me because of his cleanse obsession.
"My mystic eyes can trace pictures from the past and future or more like a possibility of the future"
He looked a little pissed about talking about his secrets.
"Is this enough to satisfy your curiosity?" followed by a Huff sound.
This was a good excuse for his knowledge about the Type-Moon world.
A gleam of surprise appeared on Caster's
eyes with a nod of understanding.
'it will somehow explain how he could have beaten a full grown man which was holding this corrupted knife´
"So you are able to use it to predict the movement of enemies and gather information? That somewhat reminds me of what my other self does all the time with his tracing" He nods a bit
That gave him a better understanding,
It seems like his master wasn't completely hopeless.
"Uh…it's more of a dream divination, I haven't truly figured out how it works"
Complete outer bullshit, the divination powers start when he reaches Sequence 7 while he himself is only sequence 8
Sequence 7 is known by the name
Astrologer
An unemployed delusional girl who is scamming immature unstable teenagers.
[For people who don't know what this is, it's the kind of scammers trying to tell you your future or shit]
He is still a-wannabe magician.
'Larping me through this is the only way´
"Well, It might be helpful for your training in magicraft"
Confusion overcame Akivili's face as he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Wait ...How so?"
"Did you think I'd leave you untrained?"
"No offense but most Masters are most likely either experienced magus; powerful individuals or creepy old shits, and you are…nothing from said, just a boy"
He did not need to continue, It was apparent
that he didn't hold faith in his powers and that was fair.
He hasn't shown the spells he knows from the trickmaster potion yet and even then he won't be able to fight Kayneth or other Magus.
What the hell would he do if he fought Kiritsugu? Flash him till he can't see?
Keyneth the supposed youngest person to reach Brand, a high ranking in the Clock Tower.
And with the amount of weirdos that were in that place you have to be some kind of 'Special' yourself.
Kirei who isn't Kirei and is possessed by a servant, who knows something about 'his' past.
Waver on the other hand is following Iskander everywhere, plus he has plans for that guy.
Toshaka Tokiomi is a fraud, yes, but he is still an experienced magus with a Crest.
The delusional Worm guy who is trying to save his childhood sweetheart (NTR'd to the face ) is weak and will die on his own.
But he is backed up by the Old (Worm) Zouken.
All and all he gets outdone by almost everyone in there.
Although he got the most obnoxiously dumb idea that might work, pretend he is the servant so the masters don't try to fight him.
Although there is basically no way this will work with the existence of Goldie, the only way the plan can work is if he liked to watch a Fool doing his show.
Whatever his servant is doing anyways, creating some weird voodoo like Circles....well
"Wait, What are you doing? Why are you creating circles everywhere?"
Caster quickly took him to the Class room using the board and chalk he is using to draw circles to explain as detailed as he can.
"As a caster class servant I need to work on my Workshop, this school is going to be said workshop"
"The existence of the Leyline will only help with the forge"
'wait forge? Is this Emiya or Senji Muramasa?'
Confusion overwhelmed his mind as he stared at him.
Archer(or caster in this case) Emiya wasn't a blacksmith.
He liked swords more than hoes, but as much as he knew that guy never learned the art of blacksmithing.
"Sadly when I said I will teach you… That meant I will teach you what limited Magecraft I know"
Akivili frowned as he looked at him with disappointment.
'at least a magician who uses swords is better than an archer who uses both'
"Yeah… I figured that your style isn't exactly the magic(al) using type"
That stopped, as he slowly turned at him and looked with seriousness painted over his face.
"you mean magecraft type, there is a huge difference, never forget that."
"Hoo? Didn't know you gave jackshit about that- ouch"
He muttered with silent sarcasm, forgetting that his servant had enchanted senses.
He ended up with chalk hitting right in the middle on his forehead.
(Inset doctor Raito skill)
"Mind your language boy, it's not me that has a problem with this, just meet a Magus who is obsessed with reaching the root and he will try to choke you alive for what you said."
'The jokes he makes are like a way to direct his attention on another topic´
Caster had analyzed that his master isn't truly in his right mind, he kept muttering to himself, moving stuff in the classroom like a cat, making inside jokes that he knew no one would understand.
It's as if he wants to forget something.
'might as well start the lesson so he focuses on another thing´
"Take your seat studentboy, today our subject is going to be about the 101 on origin, elements and Circuits of a magus"
Taking the role of a teacher as a way to make the lesson entertaining while also easing the boy's nerves.
"the origin of a person comes directly from the Akasha, the root or whatever they call it, everything comes from there and someday will return"
Although Aki played FGO that was about it, his friends liked to explain about the lore of Fate/Stay night and they forced him to watch Fate abridged.
He only watched Fate stay night/Abridged and Fate/zero, the first one because it was funny and the other one because Waver was there.
He only remembered the concept of origin and Element from when the guy explained Tsuko- Tsukihima? Tsukihima? Fukushima? Whatever the name was.
(info dumb alert)
"When a child is born it is born with a specific Origin"
"This Origin is followed by an specific Element"
"Both, origin And element, will affect his/her Magecraft"
"It can even be linked to the personality of this person"
"For example, a person with Greed as his origin, might just live a life of greed"
"And how does it affects magecraft?"
"Take me as an example"
"My origin is Sword, so naturally magecraft associated with swords are better for me to use, or other magecrafts are better/worse in my hands.
For example, swords which I create with my Mana cost less then a spear"
"As for the Element, there are 5 main elements called the 'great five elements'
Which are: Water, Earth, Fire, Wind and Ether… Although there are persons with other elements, so called mutations."
He dumped down the most basic of information he could in one moment.
Surprisingly
The boy seemed like he understood a lot although a bit of confusion appeared in his mind.
"You may continue, I just got a few questions about the anomalies you mentioned"
His eyes glowed with wonder, as he tried to retain everything he heard without losing some of the memories.
"The subject of Origin and Element is deep and complicated, its anomalies can't really be explained in one lesson, so we will move on to the next subject which is Circuits"
"Circuits are a pseudo-nervous system which is spread around the user's body"
"Its main function is turning Life-Energy, also known as Od, into Magical Energy, Mana, Prana, call it whatever you like the most"
"For a Magus, it's the very base of his power, so to say his foundation"
"Any questions so far?"
His eyes are gleaming with anticipation slowly analyzing his body language.
As a former medical student, Akivili was very interested in circuits.
"Yes, while I understood everything, there is one thing I'm curious about...How much do the circuits affect the body?"
"You said it's a pseudo Nervous system" Hoping for a good answer.
"Does that mean it physically exists in the body of a person? Is there a way for It to recover from any illnesses, can it rot, what happens if a bit gets cut out, what if it gets paralyzed if it can be paralyzed, what if...."
Surprised by the questions the boy asked, Caster noticed his eyes sparked with anticipation.
"Some people might misunderstand and come to the conclusion that they just work like another organ, which they basically are, although the circuits do affect the body, but they are not touchable or even findable under normal circumstances"
"You have your physical body, your hull, and your ego or your soul. Circuits are something on the soul, you could say they are on your soul or your spirit body"
"Thats why you call them Pseudo-Organ most the time"
"Next..ehh, they affect the body pretty much like every other organ does"
"Im not a expert in human biologic, but if your circuits get damaged, you can even die or become crippled"
"Some might take the glowing lines when the circuit is opened as a sign for a physical manifestation, however that's merely an expression of it activating in the person's soul or spirit body-"
While he was writing on the board he stopped midway through.
Akivili who was following through looked at him with confusion on his face, his brows frowned in worry.
He turned to look at him and ohh boy that was worrying.
His face was pale, a hint of fear appearing on his face.
"Something...something is wrong..I..can feel it in my Saint Graph"
-Silence-
Akiviki blinked only to see Caster on the window, staring back and soon after out of the window to see whatever is going on in this room, looking around if he could see or feel the presence of another servant doing this shit.
Normally an Emyia would never be this..scary, but it was something weird for him, it was completely instinctual, something extremely weird for a proud servant like him.
It was like this feeling you get when you are sitting alone in your room, but feel watched or even more fitting, the feeling prey has when a predator has its eyes on it.
Emyia was the prey, and something has its eyes on him...or does it?
The sense which he got through endless battles was screaming at him to run, to walk away and never look back, it was screaming for his life.
The only reason for him to still be in this room was because of his master.
And even if he would never say it out loud, he likes the boy too much to let him die.
But this..this gives him goosebumps.
Then something he would have never guessed happened, it showed that the situation is everything but normal.
'Secure the place and make sure that whatever is going on, doesn't endanger humanity´
The bitch that enslaved him to do her dirty work noticed him..and even she sounded rather worried, now he wasn't just another Caster anymore, he was the Caster version of a Counter Guardian, which still has the same job to do if she calls.
He knew that whatever is doing this is very dangerous, at least the most dangerous thing he ever met, and he does not only have his Archer self, he knew that this would become a hard fight.
"Tsk...why is it always me, I thought I have a little vacation here, fuck you Alaya, just you know I save my master boy, I dont do this for you"
His clairvoyance could not see anything, nor could he feel anything, it was as if nothing was in this room, it was weird, even for a Counter Dog like himself who fought every kind of bullshit there is...atleast he thought so.
The only thing he could feel and see was his master, the boy was pale white,by now, white enough to make Karna envious. He seemed like he wanted to scream but he couldn't.
So the only thing he could do, and the only thing he can do, is to create a Bounded field and pray that whatever is going on, will let the boy live.
But as the room was empty for him..he had to go outside, and also look there.
And so Caster jumped out of the window with a last, worried look in his eyes.
…..
From Akivili's perspective, after Emiya went outside, time seemed to have stopped.
His body fell on his knees with a thud on the floor, he didn't realize it until the moment of his contact with the floor.
His mind was a complete mess, his spiritual sight opened by itself.
The grey fog howled around like a storm.
A feeling that was so weird and cold, but as if he knew what it was all along.
Familiarity… A weird sense belonging towards whatever that was.
With every ounce of will power he had his body straightened up while using a nearby wall to support himself.
The pressure grew more intense when his surroundings started to twist, the sky was pitch black, yellowish, blue, red, green it changed its colors in seconds.
And he could see something as he could look up for a few seconds before whatever this is became too intense again.
There is a plane in the sky, frozen without movement, as if someone or something froze it in time.
And if you would look out of the windows, you would see that nothing moves anymore, nothing does. Not Emiya, not Gilgamesh, America, Japan, Germany they all were frozen in time. The world stood still.
His vision turned blurry again as the mental doll became to extreme, he started to scream and scratch his face to go against this immense pain.
But through his crazy state, through his blurry vision, he saw some kind of mist similar to his own starting to come up in front of the classroom.
Out of it little creatures started to emerge, black ones, purple, orange, pink and dark blue butterflies.
They flew through the room until they merged with each other, creating a weird colorful butterfly mass which started to take on the form of something.
It became bigger and bigger, until it stopped at around 152 centimeters and exploded.
Akivili had to close his eyes before the impulse would let them explode.
Then, after things quieted down after a few more seconds, he opened his eyes and started to shiver. He was scared without noticing it, like his body knew what this was without his mind noticing at all.
There stood a little white girl, dressed with white victorian shorts, together with a pitch black victorian dress, she had blond hair with a black hat, her hair and her neck was covered in black and orange flies, while some weird illuminated butterflies still flew around her, as if they were created because of too much energy in this little room.
When Akivili looked at her, he met her glowing purplish eyes, without even noticing her cold and emotionless face.
Drop-
Drop-
Drop-
Blood, his body was bleeding from his nose, mouth and eyes, His skin grew ghostly pale, a bit more and you could see through his skin.
Without noticing he started to scratch his body again, arms, torso, head and even his eyes were scratched.
Around him he could hear whispers of different kinds and sounds, some sounded as if they were from children, others from young or middle aged adults, and some could have been from some old grandma´s or grandpa´s.
But they had something in common, they all wanted him to kill himself.
"release yourself from the pain"
"end it all with no more suffering"
"you cant comprehend it, so end it"
"you are irrelevant in the eyes of them"
His hands which are scratching his eyes reach for the eyes and-
Splash
Akivili gauged his eyes out of his sockets, but continued to scratch himself without even noticing anything, as if it was irrelevant.
Soon after he dropped down on the ground.
The cause of all this was Madness, pure and brutal Madness, and the cause of this was the little girl all along.
She started to talk while her cold face slowly started to gain a smile as she saw what happened, but was soon after followed by a curious look.
"You feel very similar to m-...so how did you die because of a bit of playing around?"
She walked to him as if nothing happened, squatted down and curtly poke one of the eyeballs lying around, before she poked his face.
Her eyes turn blue.
"Oh..thats why you are just mortal"
"Well my bad" she started to giggle as she snapped her finger and immense power appeared in the form of a butterfly.
......
