Shishou arrives

(Shirou's pov)

Scathach look me into eyes never breaking an eye contact.

Scathach: "Are you my master?"

Shirou: "Yes, now if you excuse me..."

I turned away and before I could run away I felt a hand on my shoulder. How could she negate my most powerful technique? I turned my head mechanically to see her emotionless face staring at me with her red eyes.

Scathach: "Hmm... it seems that you aren't someone ordinary. You have big potential and orgin even I can't see through, interesting."

She showed a small smile which was especially impactful on her, who doesn't show that much emotions.

Scathach: "As you are my temporary master and you seemed to train under Cu, I'll personally train you, speaking of which..."

She turned to Cu-san and showed a gentle smile.

Scathach: "It's good to see you again..."

Cu-san relaxed a bit as before he was standing straight looking as if he was ready to salute any moment.

Cu: "It's good to see you t-"

Before he could finish the warm reunion was ended abruptly by a frown spear that grazed Cu's cheek. He couldn't even react to it and neither could I as the only thing I saw was spear hitting and splitting a tree behind Cu-san.

Scathach: "With your talent you should be able to dodge it if you trained diligently but it looks like you were lazy. We'll resume your training as well."

Hearing that Cu-san shivered.

Cu: "W-wait, I'm not active anymore I died and besides I'm Heroic Spirit so I can't increase my parameters."

Scathach: "Your excuses are absurd. Even if you can't increase your strength and speed, your technique can. If two equally strong and fast opponents fight each other the one with better technique comes on top. Seeing that you can't even make that connection means that I'll need to double your training manual."

Cu-san deflated hearing that he won't be able to avoid training. Meanwhile Scathach turned to me once again.

Scathach: "But before that..."

She took out Gae Bolg and shredded all my clothes besides my boxers. This was an... experience to say at least but it gives me a chance to say the legendary line. I dropped on my knees and hid my face behind my hands.

Shirou: "I can't marry anymore..."

Scathach just looked at me without saying anything. She stood like that for at least a minute. It was a scary thing to be stared at by emotionless woman. Cu also looked at me weirdly.

Feeling embarrassed I stood up, fainted a cough and asked.

Shirou: "So why did you decide to murder my clothes out of the blue leaving me only with my dignity."

Scathach: "I needed to see your muscle to know what I'm working with."

One of my eyebrow raised a little.

Shirou: "Couldn't you just ask me to strip or something?"

Scathach: "Waste of time. Now that I know what I need to do, survive."

She instantly lunched an attack with a plain spear at me and I barely dodged it but it made me sweat a little. I instinctively projected Kanshou and Bakuya.

Scathach: "Hoh~ so you can still dodge it at that speed, then how about this."

Her speed increases seven more managing wounding me at few places. Both of my arms, legs and even body was covered in flesh wounds but they quickly regenerated.

Scathach: "You can even regenerate, interesting, plus your usage of projection magecraft is unique. You don't only reproduce the shape and substance of these swords but also their history."

She traced her finger on a spear writing some kind of runes. It made my shiver as I sensed danger from this weapon. Then she wounded my arm once again but this time it didn't regenerate immediately. My eyes widened as it was the first time it happened. Not that I didn't expect it to happen at some point but it's still shocking nonetheless.

Knowing that I won't be able to win against her or even wound her so I did the only logical thing and executed Joestar's secret technique with more success than before.

I projected a Fake Nine Lives and slamming it into the ground making a ton of dust obscuring (hopefully) her vision. Using it as my screen smoke I run away deeper into the forest.

(3rd pov)

Seeing Shirou's decision Scathach smiled.

Scathach: "Good choice, if you can't defeat an enemy running away isn't cowardly as knowing your limits is important. The only exception is when you are protecting someone at the moment."

Cu: "Are you really planning to train him? I know that he has a potential but I thought you quit teaching."

Scathach used the spear in ger hand to attack Cu and injured once again.

Scathach: "I didn't quit teaching, I just didn't find anyone worth to teach for a long time, speaking of which..."

She then wrote another type of rune on her body with her finger creating a second body.

Scathach: "This one will help you train while I will keep eye on..."

Scathach became quite.

Cu: "What?"

Scathach: "I forgot to ask him his name. Not important, we'll spend a lot of time together."

Cu: "Sorry kid, it seems that a very dangerous individual took interest in you and no one will be able to stop her."

Scathach: "Now into your training."

That night a lot of scream was heard at the forest creating a famous legend known as 'Torturing teacher'. The name came from what was heard if someone was paying attention as the voices were distorted probably because of pain. These words were 'Shishiou', 'please stop' and 'no more'.

(A/N The more I'm writing this novel the more I realise how little I know about TYPE-MOON. Just for this chapter I researched a ton about Runes before I realized that not much is known about them or at least the Promordial Runes. so I'm gonna wing it from here.

On other hand I accidentally foreshadow the future arc, how you ask. I explained it last chapter. Caren knows his about Shirou and she is from the Holy Church so she'll report it to the higher ups, someone there will mistake him for dead apostle, you can guess rest from this.

I didn't plan any of this, it may seem so but it's not planned. I just keep writing and it keeps working.

I will also go on a crusade against all spelling and grammatical errors I can find so if you comment will be deleted it's not my fault. I'll do it at monday, be warned.

Bye.)
