Chapter 22 - Another Bout of Traning

"As much as I hate to admit it, he is a fast learner." Olga said as she looked at Felix as he casted a new spell.

"That is a good thing isn't it?" Mash asked as she looked at her.

"She's just displeased that he is able to learn other spells so quickly while she isn't able to." Artoria Alter said with a smirk.

"Hey, I am a good mage as well." Olga said as she looked at the king.

"Perhaps, but he is a fast learner, which helps him in learning new spells easily." Archer said as he looked at the master.

Right now they are in the simulation room as Felix is learning and practicing using other spells in case he didn't have the gun at hand. He isn't going to be cocky about it as he knew how dangerous the mission is, not to mention the first singularity in which he almost lost his life. The others with him were Olga, Mash, Artoria Alter, Archer, Iskander and Medusa.

"Hmm, maybe his quick learning ability is derived from how he is able to mimic the techniques of other servants." Iskander said as he watched as he wanted to see one of his Master train.

"Well, I think that's enough spell training." Archer said as he started to walk towards him.

"Archer?" Felix said as he turned to the servant.

"You have a good grasp on the use of spells Master and that is a good thing. But I also learned that you have the tendency to charge into battle when it seems that the situation is dire." Archer said to him seriously.

"Yeah but it was because I wanted to stop her from using her noble phantasm." Felix said as he looked at Artoria Alter.

"In any case, since that was an instinctual action on your part there is a chance that you might do that again. So I will train you in fighting." Archer said as he looked at him.

"How are you going to train me?" Felix asked as he looked at the Archer.

"Of course, by fighting you. Your goal is to be able to use reinforcement and fight me." Archer said to him seriously.

"Wait like right now? I don't know much fighting Archer." Felix said becoming nervous at the servant's idea of training.

"In the singularities, there is a high chance of death even with Servants since we won't know what happens inside it. And not to mention the fact that you were able to hold of Artoria for a few moments in the singularity so you can use that." Archer said as he projected a sword.

He threw it into the air as it stabbed the ground in front of Felix as he looked at it. Then he pulled it out and looked at Archer as he projected his twin blades. The others blinked when they saw that as they looked at his weapons.

"He is an Archer, yes?" Artoria Alter asked as she looked at Olga.

"That is what he said and what I can see." Olga said as she looked at her Servant.

"Well, he seems to be an exception." Medusa said as she looked at him.

"Now get ready." Archer said as he got into a stance.

Felix also got into a stance, the same one used by Artoria Alter as he looked at the Servant. Archer nodded and then dashed towards him and attacked. Felix had already activated reinforcement before he attacked as well.

*Slash Slash Block Tink Slash*

The both of them traded blows as Archer used the short blades to give quick attack while Felix used the sword to block and retaliate. He used the long length of the blade to parry and keep the Servant away from him as he had also reinforced the blade as well.

While Archer was quick with his blades Felix was still able to keep up with him using the reinforcement and Artoria's swordplay which is very good and precise.

'Not for nothing she was called as the King of Knights. Her swordplay is impressive.' Felix thought to himself as he continued with the attack.

'He is using her swordplay quite well.' Archer thought to himself as he fought him.

"Master is using your technique quite well." Madusa said with a smile as she saw the fight.

"Indeed. I have to say that his mimicry of my swordplay is quite good." Artoria Alter said with a nod at that.

"You're not angry that he is copying you?" Olga asked as she looked at the king.

"No. That swordplay is one of the standard ones used which I had refined and modified for my own purpose, though the base is same. I'm more impressed by the fact that he is able to copy it so well." Artoria Alter said as she watched the fight.

"Though that does beg the question as to how he is able to do it. Is he naturally talented in copying or is it that he analyses someone and is able to copy their movements?" Iskander said as he looked at the two fighters.

"When Master was fighting Artoria he was able to keep her at bay for a few moments. After he was pulled away, he told us how his hands had gone a bit numb from it. Though logically, it might be because he was using his magic circuits so much for the first time." Mash said as she thought about it.

"Well, he is quite a fast learner as well since he is able to use spells after reading and watching it being cast." Olga said as she remembered the study session she had with him.

The Servants all looked at each other and then looked back at the two fighters as they have been going at it for a few minutes.

Felix was able to fight with Archer and he has also started to increase the intensity of his attacks as winds were starting to be made from their blows as Archer also increased his speed.

'Now!' Archer thought as he reinforced his twin blades and attacked.

His blades met the sword and broke the blade in half as Felix's eyes widened. He immediately went and grabbed the broken blade which caused Archer's eyes to widen before the Master used magecraft to turn it into a new blade as he also changed the other blade.

"My turn." Felix said as he attacked by slashing the blades in a cross.

Archer's eyes widened when he saw that as he blocked the attack with his blades but was blown back due to the force of the attack as the already cracked ground was damaged more. While the eyes of their audience widened when they saw the attack.

"He copied Archer as well?" Olga said in shock at that.

"Hahahaha! This is truly very interesting!" Iskander said as he laughed out loud.

"So Archer has also been copied like us." Medusa said with a smile on her face.

"About time he did that." Artoria Alter said as she looked at the Master.

"Master Felix copied Archer as well." Mash said as she watched with wide eyes.

After that Felix started to attack Archer as the two traded blows, and due to his ability to copy his technique Felix was able to counter him while at the same time attaching random attacks to Archer's usual attack patterns as well to give him a slight edge.

'He doesn't go for the vulnerable spots that I leave open. Guess he realised how my fighting style works.' Archer thought to himself as he battled with the Master.

'This is going to be a bit difficult.' Felix thought to himself as they crossed blades as sparks were created.

Then the two jumped back before dashing towards each other and started to trade blows in quick speeds as Archer tried to get the upper hand but Felix was copying his movements as he used reinforcement to keep up with the Servant.

They kept on trading blows until the both sent a powerful attack and the shockwave from it sent the both of them flying back. Archer corrected himself as he landed on the ground while Felix was a bit more awkward as he stopped him.

The both of them looked at each other as Felix looked at him seriously while Archer kept his eyes on the master. Then the Servant relaxed himself and stood straight as Felix looked at him and also did the same.

"That is all for today. You managed to hold against me just fine Master." Archer said with a serious face.

"I'm glad to hear that Archer." Felix said as he looked at him.

"Good. Now, I believe it's time for your to start about history." Archer said with a serious face.

Felix's eyes widened when he heard that and his mind went to the library in Chaldea and he gulped unconsciously.

"Uh, can we put that for later?" Felix asked him a bit nervously as he knew how large it is.

"No. We have the time and so we should use it correctly." Archer said seriously.

Felix looked at his face and saw that he won't be budging anytime soon so he sighed and nodded to him.

"Alright fine. I will go and learn history." Felix said to him as he walked towards the others.

"Glad to hear it Master. It will give you and edge and allow you to identify other Servants much more easily." Archer said to him as he walked with him.

'I don't need to learn their history to know who they are though.' Felix thought to himself as he walked.

"Master, Mash, why don't the both of you go with him and teach him." Iskander said to the two girls.

"What are you going to do?" Olga asked him when she heard that.

"I wish to have a battle with Saber, Archer and if possible Rider. It has been a long time since I could actually battle with another warrior. Do not worry we won't try to kill each other." Iskander said with a smile as he looked at the aforementioned Servants.

"Well, I would like to test the mettle of the one known as the King of Conquerors." Artoria Alter said as she looked at him.

"I suppose it won't be too bad to fight him." Archer said as he crossed his arms.

'Maybe I can gain more weapons from him.' Archer thought to himself as he looked at the man.

"While I have no interest in battling you, if you truly wish to fight me then I shall do so." Medusa said as she looked at the king.

"Thank you for that. I promise you that you not regret agreeing to battle me." Iskander said as he laughed out loud.

"Well, he seems to be liking his stay here." Felix said with a smile when he saw the king.

"Honestly, he is very different from legends. Well, come on then, we have to start with teaching you." Olga said as she grabbed his left arm and pulled him with her, though she has a small blush on her face.

"Ah, wait for me." Mash said as she followed after them.

The four Servants watched as they left as Medusa thought about going after them but decided against it as she had said that she will fight against Iskander.

"Well, let us do the battle you wished to do." Medusa said as she looked at the Rider Servant.

"Of course, fret not Archer and Saber, I will also be battling you. And when we reach the end of this Grand Order, I hope that you two will join my army! Hahahahaha!" Iskander said in a jovial tone as he laughed out loud.

'He truly lives by how own rules.' Archer thought to himself as he looked at the man.

'It will be quite interesting to battle him. He is a powerful Servant after all. I should also see how Felix is doing after this and make sure that he doesn't slack off.' Artoria Alter thought to herself as she looked at the king.

'He is a boisterous man.' Medusa thought to herself as she looked at the man.

In another part of Chaldea, Roman was going to another room as he was a bit exhausted and he was kicked out of the command center by Da Vinci as he entered a room.

"That Da Vinci, couldn't she have..." Roman said before stopping as he blinked.

In the room was Medea as she seemed to be tinkering with something with her hood on as she was looking at his direction. For a few seconds no words were spoken as they just looked at each other, and then the Caster raised her right arm at him.

"Wa-Wait, let me explain." Roman said as he raised his arms and flailed them at her.

The next moment he screamed as he was thrown out of the room as it was heard by the Chaldea as the people stopped what they were doing.

'Roman did something stupid again.' Da Vinci and Olga thought to themselves before they went back to doing their jobs.
