I can see the FUTURE!!!!!1

A little note on the side, I forgot to add two skills that he got from his Perk <<Scholar>> in Bleachverse after the two months he spent in Soul Society.

Thankfully, @Darkstar reminded me. So, here is the two skills' name. You can find their description in Yhwach's wiki in the abilities session.

<<The Almighty>> and <<Consumtion>>.

Happy Reading~!

"Cough*" The white-haired girl coughed blood out of her mouth as her eyes lost color, becoming dim.

There were three holes within her stomach, something sharp and thin penetrated it. Blood left her wounds, making her body lose its heat with each passing second.

Irisviel had left the castle with Maiya as her bodyguard, but as they were leaving the castle she felt the presence of another Master entering the bounded field.

Seeing that it was Kirei, the only person Kiritsugu feared in this war, she decided with Maiya to stop him from reaching Kiritsugu.

Alas! Even with both of them together, they were not able to beat him. After all, he was an executioner of the church; if he was beaten so easily, it would really be a laughable matter.

But she didn't feel any regret. After all, she was going to die sooner or later - it was just a matter of time.

She was Lesser Grail, a container for the manifestation of the Greater Grail; without her death, it was impossible for the Grail to manifest.

Except for some regret of not being able to be with her daughter, Irisviel felt nothing.

As her eyes lost that last luster of life and her body getting weaker and weaker, suddenly, she felt a little reaction from Avalon within her.

As if coming back to life, crying with the joy of finally meeting its master; she could feel it. Avalon was restless as if wanting to leave her body and go where it belonged.

"Calm down, little fella." She heard a giggle of a male that would make anyone relax their body. It had irresistible charm to it, attracting every living being to it, "Though I am happy to see you, I'll be having you to take care of her first."

A warm, soothing, and soft energy filled her body. It was relaxing and tranquil; as if back to her mother's wombs - of course, she had no idea how it felt like to be within her mother's womb, in fact, she never had a mother. It was just a metaphorical way of thinking.

Irisviel felt her wounds closing at a rapid pace, her pale skin gaining its lost color, her eyes returning back to normal.

The first thing she saw was a man with long silver-black hair. He looked at her with worried filled eyes and asked, "You are alright now?"

---

Masato sighed, seeing Irisviel's wound healing.

After feeling the danger to her life, he had teleported here directly with Saber and found her wounded on the ground, her life slipping away.

He hurriedly provided his energy to the Avalon within her, as it did its miracle and healed her right away.

He looked at her and asked if she was alright.

"Masato-san…" Irisviel looked lost before she gathered herself, and bowed towards him, "Thank you for saving my life."

Masato shook his head, "No need." He said, "You should heal her too or she might die."

"Maiya!" Irisviel looked towards her and shouted in worry and hurriedly went towards her. She was about to use her magecraft when she heard Masato's voice.

"I've filled Avalon with my Magical Energy, so you can use it to fasten her healing."

Irisviel nodded in gratitude and felt Avalon within her - it was brimming with energy.

She hurriedly used it on Maiya as her wounds started to heal at a much faster rate than they would have when she used magecraft on her.

"I have some things to do, so I'll be leaving for some time," Masato said as he stared at Irisviel healing Maiya. He could feel her life closing to her end.

"Is it related to Grail?" Artoria asked in a small voice. She was standing beside Masato, examining the surroundings for any potential attack.

"You could say that, yes."

He needs to lay down his preparation before his system comes back online. After all, once it did, he would start his massacre against other Servants.

"Take Care."

"Oh my, is my cute King worried about me? What can I say, I am flattered."

Though there was indeed a little blush on the face of King's of Knight, hearing him calling her cute; she was sincerely worried about him.

"Don't worry. Except for a certain King, there is no one who can cause me any form of problem in the current War."

Patting her head for a second, the space around him waved before he vanished.

Saber silently looked at the place where Masato was standing before remembering what he asked to her before, 'If your wish was not to change your past, what would it be?'

Her grip on her sword tightens as a new form of determination formed within her eyes. Only she knew what she was thinking or what had changed in her mentality.

---

Back to his normal clothes, Masato was strolling in Fuyuki City.

There was no tension in his posture nor was he worried that someone might attack him out of nowhere. He at least had this much confidence in his skills.

Though, he was trying to pacify a certain loli within his mind.

'Est… are you still angry with the Master?' He didn't know how many times he had asked the same question to his loli sword spirit that was mad at him for using a spear and not her in his fight with Lancer.

'Master promised to only use me… but Master used a spear. Master is a liar.'

Masato sighed, 'You should have seen my memories too right, Est?'

'...'

Ignoring her silence, he continued, 'There are times when you can't use a sword, Est. As a spear user (also) in my past life, it is my pride to win against Lancer with a spear. You should understand it too, right?'

'Then… you used a spear because you wanted to fight with it and not because you hate me?'

'Huh?' Masato stopped in his steps, dumbfounded as he asked, 'Why did you think that I hate you?'

'... Balor said that the Master used a spear because he hates me for not letting him learn Bankai.'

Masato massaged his nose bridge… 'Why would you say that, Balor?'

"Who knew she would believe it, don't blame me." A silhouette of Balor manifested beside him and said with a thin smile as if enjoying the current situation.

Masato's eyes narrowed before he summoned Est in front of him and lowered himself at her level.

"Remember this Est, Master will never hate Est even if the whole world falls apart, okay? Master loves Est more than his life, so you should never say that Master hates Est."

"Really?" Est looked at him so much that Masato wanted to eat her (in a good sense).

"Really." Masato smiled and gave a small peck on her cheek before he asked, "Then Est will let Master learn Bankai now?"

"..." Both Balor and Est looked at Masato speechless before Est nodded, "If that is what Master wants."

"Huh?" Both Balor and Masato looked at Est in surprise as they knew that she didn't like the idea of him using another sword, so what's with the sudden change of mind?

"... Because Master said that he loves Est… so even if you use other weapons, you will still love Est, right?

"Oh…" Masato, surprised, opened his mouth before smiling, "Of course! Even if Master used another weapon, Master still loves Est the most!"

"Hmph! Playboy…" Balor snorted before turning to particles and vanishing.

"Let's go, Est. Master is going to take a tour of this city, let's go and eat some delicious food they have to offer."

Est nodded and silently walked with him, with her hand in his.

Since it was still not midnight, many shops were open in the city. Masato randomly walked all over the Fuyuki City, with no sense of direction, while enjoying whatever shop came in his way.

But if one looked at his pattern, then they would realize that most points he has visited were where the ley line converged in Fuyuki City.

Currently, he wanted to punch Caster as due to him, he was stopped by police due to being suspicious.

After all, he was wearing a shirt with "I love my Mother" and a golden necklace above it with Est walking beside him, led by her hand.

He had to use Kido to make them confused and clean their memories as they thought that he was behind the kidnapping incidents.

It was not his fault that he didn't have any sort of papers to identify his identity, though he could make one for himself with <<Construct Creation>> quite easily.

After covering most of the points he needed to cover - the clock was about to hit midnight - he thought that he should go back now.

As he was about to teleport with Est, he suddenly looked straight with a raised brow, "That's…"

Some distance away from him, where his eyes were staring, a girl with black hair tied in a twin ponytail stood. She had a compass-like something in her hand, which she seems to be following after.

'Isn't she Tohsaka Rin? Though she is a child currently… she is cute… like a plushie…' Masato thought in his mind.

"Master?" Looking at Masato, who was lost in his thoughts, Est pulled his hand and looked at him questionably.

"Let's go." Masato pulled her with him as he made his way towards the chibi Rin as she 'sneakily' followed after where the compass led her.

As Masato reached close to her, she suddenly stopped with a look of horror appearing on her face. The compass in her hand started to give an abnormal reaction, all of sudden.

This compass was given to her by her father to find Magical Energy in the air and its concentration. She was following it to find her friend that had vanished, but she still remembered what her father said about the current reaction: if such a reaction occurred, then that thing at which it occurred is beyond your abilities, Rin. You shouldn't get involved with such things until you are mature and strong enough.

BriBriBri* More and more intense lightning came out of the compass as its needle pointed in a single direction, indicating the biggest reaction Rin had seen so far in her life.

With horror and terrified face - as she still remembered the demon book that almost consumed her and which gave the same reaction, albeit many times weaker than the current one - she saw a male with silver-black hair, who was wearing a shirt with "I Love my Mother" and a big golden necklace on his chest with a small girl, probably about 13~14, walking beside him.

She took one scared step backward, sweat falling from her forehead.

"Pff*" Masato giggled seeing her reaction while wondering how that device was able to pinpoint his Magical Energy with his <<Energy Concealment>> skill.

"Don't be afraid, little girl, I am not going to eat you or anything."

Seeing him talking with him and the lack of hostility in his voice, Rin relaxed a little before suddenly humping away, "I-I am not scared!"

"Oh, are you not?" Masato raised his brow in amusement before smirking, "Doesn't look the same to me as how much you are shivering."

Rin also noticed her trembling body. She wanted to retort but felt a big warm hand over her head, a gentle and soothing energy suddenly filled her entire being.

"It's alright. If one could see my Mana, he would at least have such a reaction. Otherwise, that person is also a monster like me."

After his body has merged with his Servant self, his Mana has indeed increased by a large margin. So, it was normal for Rin to be scared of him; though it was due to the reaction from the compass in her hands (that now hung on her neck).

"W-who are you, mister?" While enjoying the gentle and warm feeling transmitted from his hand, Rin asked.

'She is much more likable than her adult self… or maybe it is because she still has not lost her parents and lived her life in solitude.'

"I am? Well… you can call me a wandering mage, someone who is just enjoying his life while traveling to different places (world) and enjoying what they have stored for me."

He looked at her and asked, "Why is a girl like you wandering in such streets at night?"

"Ah!" As if remembering her reason for being here, Rin exclaimed suddenly, "That's right, Kotone!"

"Kotone?" Masato tilted his head while remembering if there was such a character in the Fate series.

"Mister, you are strong, right?" Rin hurriedly looked in Masato's direction and asked, "Then will you help me find my friend?"

'Hmm… did something like this happen in the original? I can't remember… meh, who cares anyway.'

"Then what can I do?" he asked. He was not in a hurry anyway and it is not like you get to talk the chibi version of Rin every day.

"I-I was following this suspicious person who was taking some children with him by brainwashing them! I need to follow him! Since you are strong, you should also follow after me!"

She said before running down the dark alley.

Masato looked at her in amusement before he used <<Clairvoyance>> to see what Artoria was doing. Seeing that she was in the castle with Irisviel, he looked in the direction where Rin ran.

'Well… I needed to try the ability I got from my perk <<Scholar>> in Bleachverse - in the two months I've spent there - guess, I'll do that then.'

Thinking so, he followed Rin with Est.

Rin again followed the compass, which strangely didn't point at Masato again, making him wonder if all that was for the PLOT…

Soon, they reached some kind of underground bar. It was literally underground if someone is thinking otherwise.

Rin suddenly stopped at the front of it, looking at the compass pointing at it.

She gulped, looking at the deep eerily darkness before looking towards Masato, "Mister… Are you really strong? I wouldn't mind if you want to chicken out now…"

Looking at the scared girl who was trying to act strong, Masato almost started laughing. He smirked and said, "Ah, then please take care of me. I have a kid with me too so if things get dirty, I hope that Rin-sama is able to save me."

Due to her fear, Rin seems to forget the reaction of the magical compass and that he knew her name. She puffed her non-existence chest out before raising her chin a little and said, "Hump! Don't worry! As the daughter of Tohsaka, I'll take care of it!"

'Well… at least she is not scared anymore…' Masato smiled and followed after her as she entered the bar and started to descend the stairs with cautious steps, soon reaching the 'entrance' of the bar.

The doors were already opened so she didn't have to do it herself, making her sigh as it would help her in not getting any attention from whoever was inside.

But the silence inside was too much to take for a child like her as she started to get cold feet the more she spent time in there.

The stillness was the only thing, making the sound of her increasing breath hearable for others.

Finally, taking a deep breath, she took a step forward. But as she reached the counter, her leg stumbled against something or someone.

She looked down, her eyes widened and her throat squeezing the scream that was about to leave it.

"Kotone!" She shouted at her friend who had lost the normal luster of eyes, and just laid there with her eyes opened.

Rin kept shaking her body, in hope of getting any reaction but nothing came out of her friend.

Realizing it, she looked upward but a scream left her mouth as there were more than dozens of children's bodies everywhere in the bar, "AAAA!"

"Calm down, will ya." Masato pulled her towards him, letting her hug his body. She was scared, way too scared in fact.

Even though she was a magus, in the end, she was still a child and nothing else.

Though she pretended to be strong, it was all naught for what she was seeing. At least, it proved that she was mentally good.

Masato would start to get worried if she was okay after seeing so many children sitting with open eyes but no moment in their bodies whatsoever.

"Huh? Did you guys come here to join the party too?"

Rin's body stiffed as she heard the voice of another male, already knowing who it was.

She looked back to see the same young man who was luring the children standing at the entrance of the bar, looking towards them.

"Hmmm… but I only require kids here. Man, can you die?" He looked towards Masato and said.

Rin was about to say something but Masato blocked her vision and looked at him, "Well. Even though I didn't stop Caster from what he did, it really left a bad aftertaste, not gonna lie."

"Oh! You know Danna? Are you also a Devil?"

"It depends on who I am talking with," Masato said smilingly as his pupil suddenly divided and turned into two different pupils.

Two different rainbow-colored pupils now moved, or more like orbited around his eyeball as he looked at the Caster's Master.

"I've not tried it even once since the time I've gotten it, Guess, you'll be the first test subject."

Suddenly, the world around Masato changed. He never felt this… free. It felt like everything around him moved with his order. Whatever he wishes will become the reality.

He finally felt the taste of omniscience after such a long time.

'No… it is quite different from the time I used it in my past life.'

He looked towards Caster's Master, many different futures popping within his vision. What he would say, what he would do, what would happen in what scenario, and would be stopped in what scenario; everything, like a fast movie, played in front of his vision.

The Almighty - Ability to see the far-flung future, as many routes it has, while being in the present.

It was the second ability he chose from the perk <<Scholar>> in his first month in Soul Society. Now that he has <<Clairvoyance>> he could still see the future, but it didn't provide him something that the <<The Almighty>> did.

"The next step you take, you will break your wrist by mistake."

Future Acausality - One of the abilities of <<The Almighty>> that changes the future to one's desire.

Something that even his <<Clairvoyance>> didn't provide him with.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Mister?" He said as he took a step forward.

The place where his foot landed, there happened to be a small pebble (which shouldn't be as it was a bar), and he slipped.

He fell backward and tried to stop his fall with his hands, but 'accidentally' ended up placing his hand facing inward.

"Crack*" An unpleasant sound and the wrist of his right hand broke.

Caster's Master doesn't seem to understand what just happened as he looked at his now broken wrist.

"Wow! It really broke! You are awesome, Mister! Can you see the future?"

There was no scream of pain or anything, but some surprised exclamations.

'He is completely broken it seems…' Masato thought, 'But now that I think… Can't <<The Almighty>> make me the perfect harem protagonist? I mean, all those cliches can become reality!' He felt like he was enlightened, 'I'll have to use it! No! I want to see what happens if I do so.'

Now he was really excited to go back and try it on Saber or Irisviel - just to see if it works or not, there was no other meaning behind it…

Ignoring Caster's Master, he looked at the children and then back at the bracelet he was wearing. His rotating pupils shone before the bracelet within his hand broke all of sudden.

"Rin, the children should be waking up, so please take them outside, okay?" He said towards Rin who nodded before taking the bewildered Kotone and other children and ran away.

"Ah! Wait! What about the party?" Caster's Master said in a sad voice, making one believe if he really was sad.

"Don't worry. I still need to try a lot of things with these eyes, though I'll not kill you, I'll have my fun for sure."

---

weee wuuu weee wuuu weee wuuu* The sound of sirens filled the night of Fuyuki City as the police started to get the escaped kids in custody before finding their homes.

At some distance away from them, inside an alley, Rin sighed in relief looking at it.

"See Father, I can do something myself too!" She said before she felt a hand on her head.

"You might have died there, you know."

"Mister!" Rin looked back at him and asked, "What happened to that person?"

"Nothing. Only that he might have to take some… days off if someone didn't help him sooner." Masato said while smiling, Est already backs inside him.

"... Mister… what happened to your eyes?" Rin looked at him and asked, seeing two pupils orbiting around his eyeball. It looked kinda scary if she had to say.

"Hm, these are my Mystic Eyes." He answered that it would be easily understood by the Rin.

And just like he thought, her face showed as if she had gained enlightenment and would ascend as goddess any time soon…

Obviously, it was all his delusions.

"It is already late at night," Masato said as he looked in a certain direction, "Your mother is looking for you now. You should go to her."

"Ah!" Rin seems to realize it too late as she hurriedly checks the time, "I've to go now!" She said and looked towards Masato before stopping and said, "Mister… will we meet again?"

Though she would not say, she really felt relaxed around Masato. As if nothing bad could ever happen to her if she remained close to him. It was the same kind of feeling she had when she was with her parents.

"Depends, but I can see that we will." Masato said before throwing something at her, "This will help you. There are two of these rings, give one to your mother and wear one yourself."

Looking at the ring that looked as normal as they could, Rin nodded before waving her hand and running in the direction Masato pointed before.

Seeing her leave, Masato smiled, "I hope it works… though I doubt it would not as I'd Alaya's help in making it." He sighed before his eyes returned to normal, "Sadly I can't see the future of other parallel worlds but only the world I am in currently, or I would know if it worked or not."

He said to himself before the space around him twisted and vanished.
