"Good morning Setsuna-san." They move past other students who made way for them with eyes of admiration. "I really feel uncomfortable with that." Shirou said while scratching the back of his head.
"The fight was recorded, there is nothing we can do." The raven haired one didn't care about the stares or the attention. "I still want a rematch." That was what mattered to her about this discussion.
"I will be working with the club for at least a week setting my forge up but after that, sure." He did enjoy the spar and wanted to do it again but went all out.
"Good." Setsuna didn't show it but she also wanted that fight to happen soon, to go all out against him in combat. She was going to work on his forge as well to make sure it gets done as fast as possible.
"What number is your classroom?" They were approaching him already.
"Same as your Emiya-kun." Standing next to the wall was Kiba, he had his usual smile and his uniform was impeccable, there were some girls who were staring at him but that wasn't Shirou's focus.
"How do you know that?"
"Let's just say that the classes were divided following some criteria. If both of you would follow me." They were just a few steps away from the door but once it was open, Shirou recognized some of the faces already present.
Sitting at one desk at the superior corner closest to the window was Tohsaka Rin reading a book, in the middle of the classroom was Matou Shinji talking with a group that he remembered being in the club the day before.
The class had fifty chairs for what they could count, half of them were full and counting himself there were at least ten magicians in this class. 'This cannot be a coincidence.'
"Don't worry." Kiba tries to reassure him. "If they try anything they won't have time to regret it." The blonde gives Shirou a smile and moves to sit on a chair in the middle of the room.
Setsuna places a hand on his shoulder. "They won't do anything in broad daylight." Setsuna moves to sit on one of the chairs at the back and Shirou follows.
Shinji notices him but promptly turns back to his conversation. Rin was still reading her book and now he could see it closer. He was sure it was written in german, the title read 'Circles for the Elements.' It was a grymore or a book of magic, which could even be magic itself. Most japanese couldn't read german but even then she shouldn't be reading that in the open.
Shirou ended up sitting in between Setsuna and Kiba, behind him there was the end of the classroom. In front of him there was a girl with white hair talking with a girl with braids and then she turned and started to chat with the Knight while her friend also tried to get into the conversation. He could smell brimstone coming from them and was almost sure one of them was a devil at least.
Soon the class starts to fill and if Shirou notices that everyone in the class has a pin somewhere in their clothes, he turns to Setsuna and she also looks at him and gives him a nod and then goes to read a book of her own.
'Did everyone know that there were this many magical beings on Fuyuki except me?' Shirou really wanted to be more than devils and magicians in the classroom as well and he can't claim to know everything about the supernatural.
Shirou was nervous, he tried to calm down but he could feel quite a few eyes on him and that was making him twitchy. Now he wished he had taken his time to go to school or that he also had a book or something similar.
All Emiya could do was focus on his swords, placing his bag below his desk he closed his eyes and started to meditate. Once upon a time he tried to picture his forge in his meditation but that always left him out of focus, he got better results when he imagined himself sitting around surrounded by blades, he doesn't know why but it was easy to clear his mind of the surroundings like this.
Isolating himself first on his 'inner world' as he liked to call him is in a dark space, all he could see were his many works around him. The swords were closer and the more distant the weapon was of a blade the farther they were in the darkness but he could still see them with his mind's eye.
This was a place Shirou could relax and feel comfortable in while at the same time working on his projects without needing to use anything other than his knowledge and imagination. In there modifying the swords and testing designs was no trouble to determine what was best for what.
At the moment he was working on the rock breaking… earth moving… maybe he should just name the sword already but he felt that it wasn't complete yet, there was something missing.
"Shirou-san." He snapped back to the real world to see Setsuna looking at him. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"
"You were still for almost half an hour." It was an observation that surprised Shirou.
"Was it really that long?" He asked while looking around and noticed that there were definitivale more people in the room and with them a lot of smells, smells of magic and power.
"You shouldn't let your guard down around here like that." The warning distracted him of his own musings. Setsuna continues. "Even Yuuto-san noticed but refrained from commenting."
"Sorry, I just found myself with nothing to do and started to meditate."
"And that wouldn't be a problem except that we weren't the only ones to notice." Shirou turned to where she was looking and he could see Shinji's group. They looked to just be talking but both noticed their eyes moving in their direction from time to time.
It was weird to feel that much animosity, he barely spoke with Shinji in his old school. For what he could recall, Matou was a bit of an unrule when they were growing up but started to turn into a bit of a womanizer once he started to notice girls.
