Shinji and Chiron are the kind of people who act decisively once they get serious. When they hear about special training, they start preparing immediately.
"First, we need a large enough space. I don't know if there is a suitable place inside the castle."
"I will ask Chief Danik later. If there is no such thing, we can look outside the city. There should be a suitable place inside the barrier."
"Well, if there are no problems, gather at the training ground at six o'clock tomorrow morning to start training."
"Not starting tonight?"
"It's important to balance work and rest. You've already fought a big battle today, and your body hasn't recovered yet. You need some time to sort out what happened."
"All right."
Shinji really wanted to say: This little injury is nothing. As long as Scathach can still move, training will not stop.
But who can blame Chiron instead of Scathach? You are the teacher, you have the final say.
"What are the specific training programs?"
"The first step is to dodge my arrows. I can't keep up with Achilles' speed, but my arrows can. You must..."
This exaggerated action stunned the Fulvig siblings. You know, the siblings are still digesting the events of Achilles and Hector.
"Sister, it seems that we have nothing to do."
"Indeed, how about we do some magic training as well?"
"Good idea, uh-no."
"What's wrong?"
"I just promised Uncle Danic that I would catch Rider and the escaped homunculus, but now—"
Looking at the two servants chatting animatedly, Colles sighed helplessly.
"I'll go talk to my uncle. After all, it was Assassin's request, so I can help them apply for a venue."
"Please, sister." Corles' participation in the Holy Grail War was just an accident, so he had little communication with other masters of the Thousand World Tree Clan, including the clan leader Danic. It was really difficult for him to go directly to Danic, or to go back on his word. Fortunately, Fiore took the initiative to take over this difficult problem.
What happened next was a natural progression. When Fiore said that Assassin had asked Archer to do special training for Red Rider, Danic immediately cancelled Archer's mission and replaced it with Saber's final mission.
Gold did not put on airs and readily accepted Danic's request, which made the latter a little uncomfortable - did this arrogant man take the wrong medicine today
There was nothing wrong with the medicine, it was just that his IQ returned to normal levels.
Just now, Gold was still asking about the details of Siegfried's battle, to see if he could find a way to understand each other. When he heard that it was Achilles, who had completely defeated Siegfried, Gold dared not be arrogant anymore. Hearing that Chiron and that strange assassin were doing special training to deal with Achilles, he was so happy that he couldn't possibly disturb them.
So there was a scene where the Saber team blocked the road.
"Rider. That android cannot be let go. You step back."
Even if he was told this, there was no way this black rider would just listen obediently.
"I don't?"
He simply kicked Gold's proposal away, and the time for thinking was equal to zero. The speed as if he hadn't thought about anything caused Gold's dissatisfaction. He was too lazy to talk to this troublemaker whose rationality evaporated, and waved his hand.
"Saber, restrain the rider."
Siegfried took a step forward after receiving the order.
"Huh? Hey, your Master is not crazy yet, right?"
Siegfried kept silent, rushed forward, grabbed Astolfo's head and arms, pulled him away from the android, and threw him to the ground.
The mannequin that was originally leaning on the rider collapsed to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.
"Varied!?"
After all, there was a big difference between the two of them. Astolfo was pinned down by Siegfried, struggling with his legs.
"Wait, wait! Wait! Let me go, Saber!"
"Well, let's take both of them back..."
The android was lying on the ground, looking up at Gold. He didn't have a strong hostile look, nor did he beg for mercy. Rather, he had inorganic eyes that were like the lens of a camera, spying on humans.
"... Tsk!"
Clicking his tongue, Gold grabbed the android's slender arm and looked it up and down with a little confusion.
"You are no different from other androids. Why does Caster think so highly of you? What is the difference?"
All the androids of the Thousand World Tree Clan were created by Gold. He was very curious about why Caster, who was also a magician and classified as an alchemist, went to so much trouble to capture Sieg.
silence.
The android tried desperately to get his brain, which had been stuck in a quagmire due to fatigue, to turn around. His wrist was tightly grasped and was about to break. The man wanted to grab him, apparently at Caster's order.
Why is he so stubborn? I don't understand. Although I don't understand, as he said, what awaits me is the fate of being crushed. In other words, if I want to get out of this situation, I must make a choice.
However, that was an option that the artificial humans could not choose. It was an option that creatures that could already see the future could not choose. Of course, it was against the laws of nature for a life as small as floating to trample on the lives of others to survive.
"Asshole!! What are you thinking!? Don't hesitate! Don't give up! You want to survive!? You told me you don't want to die! Then shouldn't you fight to the end! You have the right to do so! No matter what others say, I, Astolfo, will recognize you!!"
Astolfo's words pulled back his spirit that was on the verge of collapse. Yes, at least he should have made up his mind to survive. No matter how poor his life was. In order to hold his head high in front of the people who helped him. Didn't he make such a wish to survive
"Shut him up, Saber."
Gold, who seemed to be distracted by the shouting, glanced at Siegfried impatiently. Siegfried covered Astolfo's mouth with his hand to prevent him from making any sound.
Taking advantage of this little time, the android began to figure out the technique - what was needed now was destruction. He clenched his fists and made up his mind to go all out and kill the magician named Gold.
Accelerate the body to the brink of destruction. Just like destroying reinforced glass before, first understand the composition of the human body, then synchronize and destroy it.
"What... !?"
Realizing that he had activated the magic circuit, Gold looked at the android without a name with a stunned expression. The android firmly grasped his hand, gathered all his consciousness, and wove the opening words.
"Strasse/Gain!!"
The magic power flowing through his body changed in a direction that was best suited to tearing flesh and crushing bones. If the palm was used as a metaphor, it was both the gun body and the scabbard. The bullet or blade flying out from there would mercilessly destroy Gold's arm, and not only that, it would also gnaw his heart.
"Ugh—Anamorphism eisen arm!"
This magic, woven in an instant, highlights the fatal flaw of the magic used by the androids. This kind of magic analyzes the composition and uses the magic power to change to destroy the object in the most appropriate way. If the composition itself is changed, it will only cause a small-scale explosion.
The compatibility is too bad, that's all I can say. A defective product made using the alchemy of Einzbern, facing Gold who also studied alchemy, the compatibility is fatally poor.
There was a small explosion, and Gold flinched a little. However, the android who tried to kill Gold had already reached his limit of strength after running away just now.
"You...you...guy...!!"
Gold was trembling all over, and he was furious. There was no part of his body that could be called injured, and the pain was relieved immediately. An injury of that degree would take only a few seconds to heal with healing magic, not a day.
The problem is, the one who hurt him was not someone else, but a mere magic power supply battery, which he made himself. What's worse is that the attack just now contained a clear murderous intent.
This guy wants to kill me!
This perception was correct. The android cast his magic with the greatest murderous intent in his mind. He launched an unimaginable rebellion against his creator, the one who gave him life. The bait that should have been devoured, the existence that should have been consumed, suddenly showed its claws.
This is unimaginable for Gold, who treats the androids as consumables and his own property.
"What a joke! A mere artificial being... ! Want to kill me! Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!"
Driven by this anger, Gold swung his steel fist and punched the exhausted, powerless android. At this moment, Danik's order had disappeared from his mind without a trace.
As long as this punch hits, the android's fragile heart will be broken instantly.
Astolfo's eyes widened as he desperately tried to break free from Siegfried.
Siegfried felt sorry for her and his strength in his hands decreased a little.
At this moment, less than three meters in front of Gold, a strange magical power that he had never felt before suddenly erupted, accompanied by a majestic roar.
"stop!"
In an instant, the wind howled violently, and Gold's fat body was hit hard and was blown backwards.
Seeing this, Siegfried immediately gave up Astolfo, quickly rushed behind the Master and caught him.
The two people lying on the ground escaped because the force was applied to a smaller area.
"Zig, Zig, are you okay?"
Astolfo didn't care what was happening at all. He rushed to Sieg using his hands and feet, shouting loudly.
"Answer me now."
"It's... okay..." Sieg raised his head and tried to force a weak smile.
"That's great." Astolfo hugged the android in front of him and almost cried.
"I suggest you not to use so much force. He is very weak now and can't bear it."
Astolfo and Sieg looked up at the same time, looking at the silver figure that appeared in front of them. They knew that it was she who saved them.
"Who are you-?"
Gold and Siegfried had the same question, but soon they knew the answer.
The tall woman in silver armor did not hide her Servant aura. The mark of belonging to the same camp clearly announced that she was the last Servant of her side.
"Black Lancer!!!"
