8 Meeting
Shinji currently in deep thought, the reason was he found a body. A corpse that not a corpse, because a corpse means the body already dead but the nature of the body that Shinji found supposed can't die normally like human
Just how shitty is my luck? I just meet a Dead Apostle yesterday for f*ck sake!' Shinji despaired 'now I frigging found the corpse of the not death something similar to True Ancestor!'
If Dead Apostle was this world equivalent Super-Vampire, then the True Ancestor was this world equivalent God of Vampire…but the one that Shinji found was an elemental that similar to the True Ancestor.
Even though its not god vampire it quite close…
'Should I help her? Helping her can give me an advantage…but she is part of the Counter Force'
Counter Force was the will of planet(Gaia)/mankind(Alaya) that responds to the threat of destruction or human extinction, they literally have immense power at disposal, but always use only the appropriate amount to deal with any event.
If the threat possesses an amount of power equal to X, then the Counter Force will deploy an amount of power just enough to snuff out X and eliminate the threat. The amount of power can be as small as nudging individuals into place through "coincidences", but it can also be as great as sinking an entire continent.
The reason Shinji worried was, as someone that has a [Connection to The Root] was deemed a threat by the world.
That means Shinji was a Counter Force legitimate favorite target…
'If I heal her right now there is a slight chance the Counter Force (Gaia) take over her body and start to the process to eliminate me…and if I fight against her the Counter Force (Alaya) will found out about me'
'...'
"Ah screw it lets just help her first"

Hinako Akuta wakes up in an unknown ceiling…
'Where am I?'
"You are inside a hotel room that I booked"
'!!!' Hearing a human voice make Hinako raise her vigilance and start to looking around to search for the source of the voice
Imagine her surprise the source of the voice was a blue seaweed.
"Seaweed?"
Shinji twitched his eye hearing Hinako exclamation "I am not a seaweed! I am bonafide 100% human!"
"Talking Seaweed?" Hinako said while keep staring at Shinji hair
"No! Look at my face" Shinji pointed his own face "you can see I am a bonafide full-fledged human!"
Scanning Shinji body from up to down Hinako reaches a conclusion and clasp her hand "Seaweed Elemental!"
A tick mark appears on Shinji head "I am a human dammit!"
…
…
…
"Ah sorry, your nature was closer to the spirit than human" Hinako apologized and looking at Shinji with calculating eyes "So why did a magus like you saved me? Isn't your kind always talk about benefits and have their morals thrown outside the window?"
Shinji was speechless at Hinako bluntness but answered regardless
"I am not only a magus but I am also a Magician, Master of Heaven Feel: Shinji Matou" Shinji introducing himself while doing a bow, and Hinako mouth turned into 'O' shape "And the reason I save you…I only done in a whim"
After collecting herself Hinako starts to ask "You save me on a whim?"
"Yup"
"Why?" Hinako asks puzzled
"At that time I see your dying body I was panicked, afterall, I gained mastery of The Third through a path to The Root" Shinji explained, "to be honest, I was tempted to kill you just right there, afterall if you died that means there one less agent of Counter Force that I have to deal."
Hinako tensed hearing the word 'kill'
"But that will be unfair for me" Shinji sighed "It will be unfair for me if I kill you based on prejudice because you are a potential agent of Counter Force"
"?" Hinako confused hearing Shinji statement
"Do you know how this world, tale of an individual that given the title King of Daemons?"
"?" Hinako confused at the changing topic but shook her head regardless
"One day a completely ordinary boy was captured by a bunch of villagers, he was randomly chosen as the 'source of all evil in the world' by his village and was tortured and sacrificed in the ensuing rituals.
The villagers, who were suffering from various disasters, eventually came to need a scapegoat for blaming their troubles onto. This scapegoat would be designated to be a daemon and be chosen to be the reason for all the calamities afflicting the village.
Simultaneously, he would be chosen to be the source of all the world's evil and by his existence, the villagers would have to be good by nature.
So they continuously tortured him until he went insane. They captured him, beat him, carved every word that cursed mankind onto his body, forced every sin imaginable upon him, took out bits and pieces of him slowly, defiled his mind with absolute evil, and held him responsible for all of it in the world.
They would not allow him to die until he succumbed to old age. He had a curse put on him as a result, one made of the great evil that he was to represent. He was shocked at first at the senselessness of it at all. Eventually, he started wondering who it was he should hate.
However, the boy himself only felt anger and hatred towards the world and the people that mercilessly executed him. His forced sacrifice eased the confused minds of his people, which despite being unintentional, qualified him to become a Heroic Spirit." Shinji explained
"That was a truly enlightening story but why are you telling me that story? I didn't see the relevance with our current situation" Hinako asked confused
"Say do you know the existence of the parallel world?" Shinji asked
"I heard about it," said Hinako while remembering a certain famous vampire troll
"That boy only needs to receive the hate, curse, and pain of a single world to turn into King of Daemon (Angra Mainyu)" Shinji explained "So what happens if there are multiple worlds out there that hate, curse a single person? What will happen to that person?"
"That person…"
"Yup that person is me" Shinji smiled "There worlds out with people will kill me just by my face alone…if I kill you based on that prejudice, that means I am more or less the same with people that judging me"
Shinji remembered the memory of his past life, almost every single Fate Stay/Night fans hate, curse, and mock Shinji for his stupidity, Seaweed hair, and many others.
Angra Mainyu was hated by only his entire village for his entire life and turned into the Source of All Evil.
So how about himself then?
He does not even exist in that worlds but the people of that worlds disgusted by his existence alone, when he dies isn't he will become something that surpasses the Source of All Evil?
Angra Mainyu turned into that kind of existence only by hated by a village but Shinji can assure the one who hates him is more than one village.
Maybe he is not carrying 6 Billion curses like Angra Mainyu but Shinji can assure thanks to parallel world theory he is carrying more.
Angra Mainyu quite liked by in the parallel world but Shinji if not for the author raises his good point there is no good point at all…
'Damn, and now I am Shinji Matou…'

Since the Awakening of his Magical Core, Shirou feels an instinctive knowledge to control it. Magic Core and Hero need a strong body, to gain a strong body Shirou needs to follow the instinctive knowledge.
The truth is the knowledge was implanted by Shinji using The Third
"Are you sure this is work big brother?" Sakura skeptical at the workout routine that practiced by Shirou
"Of course it works!" Shirou doing push-up easily "It comes to my mind at the same time I awakened my Magic Core. It also said this is the way to become Hero of Justice!"
Sakura was speechless hearing Shirou explanation 'I am pretty sure instinctive knowledge didn't come with How to be Hero manual….'
"I only need to do 100 Pushups, 100 Sit-Ups, 100 Squats, and a 10KM Run every single day! It is said you can feel the beginning effect after 6 Months and reach the peaks after 3 years!"
When Shirou finished the workout for the day, he didn't notice a single hair start to fall from his head…
That hair will be the first of the many…
