Chapter 33 - A peek into madness, Relentless training, A lost girl

Ace wondered at the site. Much different from Lucy's and Gloria's world, he rubbed his chin. He unleashed his senses and felt a strange magical presence from a certain direction. It was malicious, as Ace was curious and went towards there.

He appeared in seconds, he now stood in a dark place. Underneath the whole city, he saw dark energy flow inside this giant cave. In front of him he saw a pair of eyes, and a giant one all look at him. As if it was alive, Ace eyes widened then he grinned. 

"I don't know what you're but you're quite corrupted."

He unleashed a bit of pressure, making the eyes tremble at feeling his overwhelming presence. Instantly a dark, tiny looking things emerge from the ground. Becoming huge as they tried to bury him alive.

"Enough."

A bright light blinded the eyes behind a magical wall. He sensed the ominous mana swirling with dark energy. 

"I'm not here for you, but I was curious sensing your presence, you're a living being.....could it be you're trying to resurrect yourself?"

The cave trembled, Ace was unbothered as he walked back with his hands behind his back. 

(Who are you intruder....)

It's voice was low and deep. Hinting with wariness as Ace just waved him off.

"Someone that can end whatever this is."

Ace vanished as he had enough of what he saw today.

[Days later]

He saw Emiya brows scrunch up as beads of sweat drip from his face. He was trying to replicate the construct of a sword of his. It was a divine weapon, and it was Emiya homework to be able to replicate it. A divine weapon it wasn't his strongest weapons, just a fodder. But it was still a weapon to cleave mountains in half.

If he can learn of how it works, how it was made, the very existence of the weapon. He will be powerful disciple. 

"Haaa....!"

He breathed roughly as he wasn't there yet. He can only create the handle. but such progress was impressive for Ace to witness. 

"get up time to spar."

Emiya saw Ace's face and paled slightly. He clenched his teeth as he knew it was going to be another one of those days.

He got up and went to the backyard. He summoned a wooden sword shaped like the divine sword he had giving to him to copy. Of course, he had copied other weapons that Ace had made him to. Analyzing their build, as Emiya summoned them.

They floated around him, Ace beckoned him with a finger.

*swoosh*

A sword shot forward, Ace using his fist this time. Slapped it away, as another two came from above. Just as he dodged backwards, Emiya tried to take advantage in that split second to slash him.

*swooosh*

*clank*

Ace blocked it only for a sword to come from underground. Emiya stepped away as he summoned a bit more weapons. He could only summon up to 15 of them. Four came from below ground, Ace spun in the air. As they followed him but he kicked them away. Landing on his feet, Emiya slashed upwards while a sword was inching close to his body.

Ace smiled, he then stopped both of them with his fingers. 

"You really surprise me Emiya."

"Thank you Sensei."

He sucked a good full of air and exhaled. His eyes sharp, focusing in trying to at least cut him even slightly. 

*swooosh*

*Woooosh*

Ace dodged and blocked, Emiya came with good tactics his battle insight was good. Ace then appeared from behind ready to slam his fist into his back. Emiya felt things slow down, as he pushed his body ducking it. For him to spin and try to slash him from behind.

*Thud*

Ace saw it get close to his chin. He grabbed the wooden enchanted sword and broke it with his hand. He change to a knee kick, Emiya saw it coming. He then hit the ground using his hands and tried to kick him while doing a handstand with one hand. 

Ace grabbed his ankle and threw him over. Making him stumble for him to stumble on his feet. Coughing in slight pain, Ace kneed him in the chin. He felt the pain as he tried to tank it. Emiya could only feel a stinging pain when he was already on the ground.

Coughing saliva when Ace just kicked him on the sides.

"Keep going like this, and I'll continue to keep training you."

"ugh....."

He couldn't utter a word, but those eyes filled with determination made Ace nod in satisfaction. As he let Emiya rest, he then got into a medication stance. Channeling not just mana, he was blessed with Qi. 

To be able to forge his body to become indestructible. To become not just a sword wielder but be really good at close combat.

Feeling better as he concetrated in circulating the Qi. Ace heard a ding with the door bell. 

"Hmmm."

"I'll get it."

Broken his trance Emiya quickly walked towards the door. Opening it it revealed a girl with violet hair. Her eyes looked dull, devoid of emotion. It was pouring rain and she was soaked. Ace was hiding in his spirit form.

Emiya was taken aback, he saw someone he knew.

"Aren't you....Shinji's little sister?"

"yes.....I'm Sakura Matou."
