Chapter 8: “Light” spar begins

(Shirou's pov)

I woke up sweating and breathing heavily from the nightmare. In a panic, I checked my body and even checked if my heart was still beating.

It was, and it was beating faster than ever before.

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself, and slowly, my heart rate started decreasing.

After a few moments, I was calm and could analyze what had happened.

I know for a fact that I'm not a person who is easily scared, but I felt terrified. I still feel scared, to be honest. What's even scarier, though, is I don't know where this fear is coming from.

No, the better way to say it is that I don't know the cause of my fear. I figured out that it was because of the nightmare I had, but I can't remember what it was about.

Whatever it was, though, I don't want to experience it again. Never again...

I decided to go to the bathroom to clean myself up. I feel sweaty for obvious reasons, after all, and maybe a shower will help me clean up my thoughts.

In the bathroom, I took a cold shower, and it helped me refresh my thoughts.

It was not the first time I had a dream that I don't remember, and it was not even the first time it felt like my dream was important, and I'm not stupid enough to ignore the obvious signs, especially now.

The problem is I can't do anything about it until I know the content of my dreams and I have no way to go around it. Maybe Lancer could help. We are going to train today, and from what I know, he can use primordial runes. He may not be on Scathach’s level, but there's a possibility. Cu can even be summoned as a Caster, so he must have abilities backing up his class. Caster class is made out of Casters, after all.

(E/D: Merlin: *Uses a sword and even gives out free “swords”*)

I walked out of the shower and grabbed a towel.

My arm isn't as numb as it was before, so it's slowly getting better. Thank god... ROB? Is ROB a god or the God? Questions for later.

I think it's a useless thought, but my mind just wandered there for some reason.

I wiped my body dry, leaving my hair for last, and looked in the mirror. I still wasn't used to seeing 'my' face in the mirror.

I slicked my hair back to see how I would look and to be honest, I prefer this hairstyle. It looks nicer, but I'll leave the usual hairstyle for now.

I then wiped my hair until they were dry and went to school after breakfast. I said goodbye to Ilya, of course, and gave her some headpats, which she enjoyed, and so did I. Seeing her happy makes me happy.

School quickly ended, and it was time for my training with Lancer. I wonder what he plans for the training. For some reason, I feel like his methods will be similar to Scathach's. At the end of the day, that's the only type of training he knows, as far as I know, at least.

I don't care as long as it works, though.

With these thoughts, I went to my 'training grounds'. Even thoughts it wasn't marked in any way besides my bounded field, I found the place easily.

As I was getting closer there, I started feeling a presence there. Normally I would be suspicious of anyone being there, but not only was I meeting Lancer there, but I could also recognize his presence. It's pretty distinguishable, after all.

As I got to the place, I could see a figure in blue full-body tights that was leaning on a tree with his eyes closed. Sensing me, he opened his eyes.

"Yo, kid. I see that you didn't run away." He gave me a cocky smile.

"If I didn't want to train, I wouldn't have asked you for help."

"That's true. But before we begin, I must warn you, though." Suddenly he turned serious. "If I'm going to train you, I'm going all out. I'm not training someone half-assed. That means that I can't guarantee your survival. Do you still want to start my training?"

He was awaiting my answer, but I didn't even need to think about it. There was only one path to getting stronger, and it was not one that is painless and without risks.

"I'm prepared for any consequences that will come from your training sessions." I returned his earlier cocky smile back at him. "I'm pretty hard to kill. You could even say that I'm too stubborn to die."

Hearing my answer Lancer smiled wildly.

"Good answer, kid. Now that we are on the same page, I will need to know where you stand as a magus and as a warrior. For that, we'll have a light sparring." He summoned his famous spear. "Try not to die."

(3rd's pov)

Lancer effortlessly appeared in front of Shirou faster than his eyes could follow. Sensing danger, thanks to one of his skills, he hurriedly projected Kanshou and Bakuya to block an incoming kick to his body. At the same time, he used reinforcement magecraft on his limbs to reduce the difference between their strength, no matter how minuscule it would be.
The sheer power behind the kick that Lancer delivered not only sent Shirou back but also broke the two swords he summoned.

"Good reaction time!" Lancer praised his student.

In the air, Shirou did a flip to position himself better and project his bow at the same time. While still flying backward, he shot a few arrows at Lancer, who deflected them all.

"Good, it may be fun after all." Lancer smiled widely.

The spearman rushed at Shirou, this time at a slower pace. He wanted the young Emiya to see his movements this time.

Not having much time to think regardless, Lancer holding back immensely, Shirou didn't focus on the fact that he could follow his movements, but he slashed this time to observe every little detail he could about Cu's spear, Gae Bolg.

There was no better chance to see the original Gae Bolg than now from Cu Chulainn himself.

Judging the concept of creation.

Hypothesizing the basic structure.

Duplicating the composition material.

Imitating the skill of its making.

Sympathizing with the experience of its growth.

Reproducing the accumulated years.

And finally.

Excelling every manufacturing process.

Shirou tried to reproduce not only the weapon in the hands of Lancer but also its history.

"Trace...on!"
