Fate/Inheritance

Chapter 56 - 52: The Fall and Escape from the… (Part III)

(A/N: Before you read the chapter I would tell you guys to open the Fate/stay night: [Unlimited Blade Works] OST II - #19 Emiya UBW in Youtube or if you have a copy of the song and don't play it till it reached a certain part)

It's funny how someone who have no scant of energy in him causally beat up someone who can basically destroy a castle single handedly making her twitch in the ground pathetically but the thing that the instructor is holding is what got all of my total attention.

Different from the wooden bat it is made of some sort of metal with the same color of silver. It's presence alone is countless times bigger than the wooden bat and it's 'lethality' can be easily seen how it trashed someone who's mental strength should be higher than the average person. Yet the thing that bothered me is what Lancer said accidentally when he observed it.

'A soul huh…' I secretly thought of that. If a weapon of that caliber has a soul, it can be considered an ego weapon if my knowledge about sword's and magic novels can be referenced. Ignoring the benefit of a soul that can observe and understand all of the wielders it can learn from, that means that 'thing' can be conversed with or let you have some sort of contract with.

Hm? I noticed that they started talking and the instructor started 'asking' some s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e information from the woman, while repeatedly bashing her with 2 metal batons that is actually one that separated like someone who's fusion was over. The woman is already down with the look of someone that is repeatedly v*olated and had voluntarily gave out some information.

Aside from the confession that no. 1 and no. 17 are nobles which I had some suspicion knowing their strange amount of skills and knowledge but to think the Empire and the evil organization collaborated to catch the instructor personally…

"No. 9–…" but to think the Royal Guards and the Dark Swords themselves got together to catch one man… Ignoring the royal guards that protects the royal family, the Dark Swords are only mobilized if a traitor of the organization is found and must be executed…

"No. 95–…" I heard that one senior of ours is also the captain of the Dark Swords and he was a half-beastkin apparently and to think they did not catch the instructor and only left him breathless…

"NO. 950!" Snapping from my stupor I noticed the countless gazes directed on me. Flinching, I tilted my head in confusion till I heard the instructor's voice.

"No. 950 as I said do you know Gradation Air?" The instructor asked me. Nodding in confirmation I looked at the instructor who asked that question. To be honest the only magecraft that I can skillfully use currently aside from Runes and Bounded Fields which I had at most rudimentary knowledge is Reinforcment, Structural Grasp and Gradation Air (which I strangely wanted to master due to being a fan of a certain guy…). Nodding at my answer the instructor said something unexpected.

"I have a mission for you… assist in escaping Howling and the Empire's operatives and I would let you use Structural Grasp on this two." He said pointing at the wooden bat and the thing he is holding that had already returned into one. Oh she had a blank state with empty eyes, I looked at the lying Sword Star but suddenly remembered the instructor's words.

"Eh..?" Frozen I looked repeatedly at the two demonic weapons and finally looked at the instructor with a gaze as if imploring for confirmation. When I saw him nod all I can do is…

"Ku..Ku…KUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!!! TO THINK YOU WOULD GAVE ME THIS WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY!!! INCREDIBLE!! THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE!!! I WILL ACCEPT THOSE PAIN AND SUFFERING I FELT THIS WHOLE DAMN TIME IF I WILL HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY HAHAHAHA!!!" I laughed madly and approached our senior who took a step-back in fear.

"Ahh… he is already lost…" Ignoring the comment Yamada said I took hold at the wooden bat out of his hands. Holding this demonic weapon, I noticed how it strangely felt natural in holding it akin to how you hold someone else perfect pair.

Closing my eyes, I started my magical energy to do its thing. Remembering the 7 steps, a certain Emiya f*ing Shirou and his future counter-part do in their special way of Projection. Starting my Structural Grasp, I let my magical energy enter the wooden bat and following the instructor's instructions I bypassed some security measures he along the fellow manufacturers who made the thing.

'A branch from the World Tree!?' I was shocked at the information I got from understanding it's composition, I remembered my elven teacher's bow and her staff had a slightly similar composition from this thing and I finally understand why my teacher was so strong at the same time hid some parts of her name.

After I understand it completely from top to bottom, I started my preparations.

==========================================================

(A/N: CUE THE MUSIC!)

'I don't have the Unlimited Blade Works Reality Marble nor a specialized origin and elemental affinity but I think my Reality Marble can handle some steps.' I thought and channeled magical energy connecting my Reality Marble to the outside world slightly. I do not know why I can analyze objects that would surely not be from my 'Earth' but I can only put it in the reasoning of being sent to another world or being connected to the Root either by being a 'Magus from the Age of the Gods (hypothetically)' or the Kaleidoscope from Sapphire and Ruby.

Following the steps, I can strangely remember clearly I started 'Tracing'.

First, Judging the concept of creation. I already know the main idea why this 'thing' is made, beating up other people without killing them alongside the 'original' design it is molded from. A wooden baseball bat.

Second, Hypothesizing the basic structure. With Structural Grasp I understood it's composition and even the materials used and the enchantments put in it.

Third, Duplicating the composition materials. If Lancer can temporarily reshape my Reality Marble for a bit, I as the owner can re-create materials from my Reality Marble or make some passable substitutes.

Fourth, Imitating the skill of its making. I can smell the breath and sweat of dwarves from the bat and the mana signatures with some similarities to my teacher Liliana, remembering and using the skills thought and used by my blacksmithing teacher Rangka I got the gist of how it's made.

Fifth, Sympathizing with the experience of its growth. Understanding the time of existence, the bat 'lived' in this world I emulated its feelings which I can strangely feel from it alongside the boundless natural energy this thing secretly contains alongside its experience hitting people which made me felt like peeking into another door. (A/N: Don't peek you idiot!)

Sixth, Reproducing the acc.u.mulated years. Feeling the strangely short history the bat holds, I understood that it is made just a few years ago but the Mystery of its main component which is a branch of a tree that may had lived for centuries put me in a sense of incongruity for a bit.

Seventh, Excelling every manufacturing process. I can't say that I am skilled in crafting things but as long as this thing is not a divine construct made by the gods (I felt I can make those divine constructs in the future but let's not bother with that…), I can re-create and even fix some minor error's the makers made.

Lastly, I tweaked the size of the 'final product' due to the fact I currently have the body structure of someone who did not hit puberty.

"Trace… on."

With blue lightning (magical energy) emerging from my open palm it quickly formed into a wooden bat. Feeling the completed Projection, I laughed madly and looked at the metal bat with greed showing in my pale and sweaty face.

(A/N: I felt writing this chapter that I let loosed something forbidden and dangerous in the novel… and I strangely not regret it…)

Extra:

The conversation of a person and a bat

[Owner! Owner! The cute oppa~ is looking at me pervertedly~!! Kyaaa this Goddess Arcadia is strangely embarrassed! ] – ???

[Shut up and watch what's going to happen next] – Naruan

*After Tracing the Wooden Bat*

[Eh!? EHH~!!!!!! Did he just made a copy of my cute little sister!? So wait you want this oppa to make a copy of this Goddess!? Nooo~ I won't allow it~! This beautiful Goddess Arcadia is a super unique and one of a kind goddess! No wait… if he makes a copy of me… a twin sister!? Kyaaa~!!!] – Arcadia

[As I said shut up I need to take a breather for a bit and as I always said the wooden bat was created first.] – Naruan

(A/N: To those who knows the canon… This author does not speak loli so please forgive me. Also the canon was a KR novel so if you don't know what oppa means… bruh you living in a cave or smthing? Also people might wonder what's the use of EMIYA Archer Class Card then if he can do the tracing. He can actually just emulate how EMIYA or Shirou does but in a much slower pace with a much higher energy cost yet slightly higher quality due to using prana from the ROOT.)
