Chapter 21: Possessive (I)

Chapter 21: Possessive (I)

Haruki settled on summoning Artoria for two reasonsher ideals and her strength.

The former he disliked a little, but he couldn't deny her usefulness against Semiramis. She would butt heads with Semiramis as she lived her life with chivalry and honor.

The latter was just brilliant. With his magical energy, her stats could be near max. Once she got the Avalon, not even True Magic would be able to harm her.

His victory would be all but guaranteed.

But, there was a tiny problem with his plan.

'Avalon.'

The artifact capable of granting Artoria absolute defense as well as being the catalyst to summon herit was inside Shirou's body at this very moment.

'Time to yeet Shirou, I guess.'

Shirou could still be a hero of justice without the Avalon. Despite understanding the root of Shirou's trauma and his desire, Haruki had no qualms about stealing Avalon from him.

'Medea, any progress on the mystic code spear?'

"I have finished the design and abilities. I can make it during the night."

'Go home and work on it now.'

He had plans to explore the dungeon tonight. The lack of a weapon would drastically increase the difficulty.

"There is a servant nearby. Thus, I cannot leave your side."

Haruki sighed and got up from his seat. His teacher, Souichirou Kuzuki, turned around and fixed his glasses. The former assassin gave Haruki a stare bereft of any emotion.

"I'm not feeling well, Sensei. Can I rest in the infirmary?"

"You may."

Like other teachers, Souichirou also knew what had happened to his mother. With Haruki's near top academic results, Souichirou allowed him freedom for a few days.

Haruki took his bag and headed outside.

Haruki felt like a boulder fell on his head. The mere thought of Sakura being with someone made his skin red.

'When did I become so possessive?'

"Ufufu. Perks of being a dragon."

Arch's playful explanation made him sigh. Being a dragon brought a fair share of troubles.

Rin waved her hand in his face. "Sleeping?"

"I was thinking about possibilities."

"Possibilities?"

"The chances of Sakura becoming a Lesser Grail in this war."

"Sakura and Lesser Grail? What do you mean?"

With a look of utter confusion, she questioned. She couldn't find any relationship between the two. Even Archer was confused.

As Haruki was about to reply, the classroom door behind him opened and Kuzuki appeared.

"What are you two doing?"

Rin clutched her head. "Ah, Sensei. My head is throbbing!"

Writhing in agony, Rin gave a top-notch performance. The former assassin easily saw through her tricks, but he didn't point it out.

"Hayashi, take Tohsaka to the infirmary."

"Roger, Sensei."

Haruki took Rin's hand and dragged her toward the infirmary.

***

Fate/Stay Night feels incomplete without Artoria. So summoning Nero and other servants will be after the Holy Grail arc.
