Chapter 38 - Trembling hearts, A failed assassination

Sakura didn't know where they disappeared to, but she stood there waiting. She clutched the hem of her skirt feeling anxious. 

"Senpai.....Mister..."

______________

"I...."

"I can understand where you come from in a way."

Ace was neutral but he can also be the worst being to ever exist. Almost the worst thing as the thing that holds him is his human heart in addition he found two wives in another world. Still he can destroy a planet filled with innocent lives of woman, men and children without blinking if needed to be.

"P=Please E-Emiya!.....I won-"

"You be quiet."

He was silenced feeling something like a clothe wrapped around his mouth.

"Emiya....just look at this."

Ace took the memories of Shinji and look through where Sakura was abused. He appeared before Emiya and tapped his forehead.

Emiya eyes widened, he saw every single bad thing he did to Sakura. Then an old man appeared named Zouken. 

He returned to reality as his hands clenched, a flicker of anger appeared in those eyes. Ace was being merciless, he'll have to learn how to kill when needed. This Shinji is just a parasite he'll keep trying and trying.

For Ace, as his teacher he won't have his disciples be wet behind the ear. They need to learn by force the true grim reality of life. They can stop asking him for help, he'll just leave and he would see their utter downfall. 

Emiya summoned his divine sword, as Ace watched him slowly walked towards Shinji as he felt his face go pale. Fear immitted from Shinji as Emiya looked at him with cold eyes. 

Rider looked at this in her mind she was happy but she had a contract to uphold as she tried to rush to defend him. Since, he was her master not really but because some old man gave him control over her.

Even though he wasn't nothing special.

"E-Emiya we're friends right!? I never hurt Sakura, come on p-"

*Swooosh*

Emiya who had feelings growing for Sakura sliced Shinji's head. As it rolled to the ground, Rider couldn't stop it as she was then stabbed in that second of distraction. Saber showed no mercy as she stabbed her again. Making Rider cough tons of blood, now she fell to the ground.

Ace change back their scenario as they were back. Sakura watched this unfold as she was in awe. Seeing Shinji no where to be found only Saber and Emiya. 

Rider disappeared back into a place where she belongs like many historical figures. 

"Now Emiya there is more to do."

*Swooosh*

Ace blocked sharp knives aiming at Sakura's direction. As a figure emerged from behind the tree. 

"Master."

"Saber"

Without a command, Saber rushed to the figure who got to a tree branch and made a hand motion as multiple knives from every direction aimed at Saber. She blocked and dodged but some cut her. Emiya quickly came to help her, as the figure felt like the situation was not good.

"You seventh master will not stop master's plan."

He then tried to flee, as he looked at Sakura for one last time. Sakura looked at Ace then at the rest. 

"Emiya this is your fight."

Emiya understood as his eyes became sharp. Ace made a barrier surrounding the vicinity as the figure couldn't teleport, portal, go back in time or anything. 

'A barrier!'

The figure with the skull mask clicked their tongue. Ace then had to do something real quick. He vanished letting Emiya do his thing along with Saber. 

"Senpai!"

Emiya glanced to only see Sakura, it seemed his sensei was doing something.

(Don't disappoint kid, this is an easy one for you)

The silence, as he didnt want to let his sensei down.
