Armsmaster
The debrief in the PRT HQ conference room was scheduled for 10 AM sharp.
Colin had expected it to take place earlier, but the arrest coincided with Director’s dialysis treatment, and the processing of the prisoners dragged on for hours. In the end, she decided it was mor...

Chapter 32
The moon hung above us like a shard of blue glass, scattering its light across the world below. I didn’t know how long I’d been flying beneath it—seconds, minutes, an hour. The air was thin and cold and alive, and for the first time in years, so was I.
“Isn’t this great?” I shouted into the win...

A/N: By the way, I edited chapter 26 a little. It's largely the same, but rereading it made me think Lisa's emotional arc didn't punch hard enough, so I pushed it a bit harder.

Harsh, clinical light washed over steel and composite as Colin turned the weapon slowly, searching for flaws he knew weren’t there.
He never allowed flaws. Compromises, yes, but never flaws. Every piece he built was an extension of his discipline, assembled unde...

Without much prompting, Carlos rushed him.
Where others were apprehensive, the boy was confident. Tanya and Chris sparred with him regularly, with Missy overseeing, a...

“Thank you all for attending this meeting,” I said, addressing the assembled Wards ENE team.
We had gathered in the Wards training area purpose-built for powered combat—no sharp edges, no corners to clip your skull on during a fall, and steel-reinforced walls to catch anything that might otherwise blast through drywall.
In the ...

“We’ve got confirmation, Director. Alabaster’s transport has reached its destination,” Deputy Director Renick reported.
They sat in the command center, hours after the chaos had subsided. Whether the riots had truly been suppressed or if the Empire had simply achieved their goals and withdrawn ...

“I’m simply stating my opinion,” Shirou said as we patrolled through the city.
Today’s patrol route took us through what local authorities might charitably label a “lower-income zone.” A more accurate term, at least by my standards, would be economically terminal. In any sane urban environment, this would be categorized as a de...

A wooden staff smacked Chris’s training spear aside, and a swift kick to the gut folded him in half with a pitiful whine.
Now, my brother didn’t believe in pausing during spars. The moment Chris bent over, he was punished with a follow-up strike to the side.
“Damn, that’s what you two always ...

I tried to deflect the incoming strike but failed miserably. Shirou’s striped shinai smacked into my shoulder, sending a jolt of pain sharp enough to make me wince.
“Strike!” Missy announced cheerfully from the side.
I groaned and rubbed my shoulder.
I’d never been in a kendo club in my first life, but I was pretty sure...

Another day, another opportunity to network.
Earlier, I contacted Armsmaster to inquire whether he was experiencing any lingering discomfort from his healed injuries. In truth, I just wanted to remind him that I existed.
It’s a standard strategy—one that translates cleanly from the world of sales to the battlefield of career adva...

Magical energy. The source of power that allows a reenactment of possible phenomena, bypassing all the required means of the mundane world.
Well, that is, if you were talking about magecraft.
Traditionally divided into two categories of its raw state: mana — the external magical energy, the very breath ...

Dennis
Saturdays were Dennis’ favorite days of the week. No school from the very start of the day, and the knowledge that you won’t have to go there the next day either.
Sure, there were patrols sometimes, but Dennis would take a walk down the Boardwalk or smack around a few gangsters over school any day.
N...

As we soared through the city on a sidecar attached to the Armsmaster’s motorcycle, I kept running the events of the night through my head.
The meeting with Armsmaster went extremely well.
The Protectorate leader had been suitably impressed with my brother’s capabilities. As he should be.
I did some research on Tinkers and ...

The elevator doors slid open with a soft mechanical hiss, revealing a sealed corridor lined with reinforced glass. Beyond it, Armsmaster’s workshop stretched out — not sprawling, but dense, compact, alive with purpose.
Emiya stepped inside without hesitation. Tanya lingered half a step behind him, surveying...

A/N: It turned out that Black Keys can be used for shadow paralysis only on spiritual entities. Will have to edit power-testing chapter.
I was sitting at the kitchen table in the Wards' quarters, enjoying a light evening snack and coffee together with Missy, when Carlos entered the area and joined us at the table with a de...

Babysitting was not Sophia’s idea of a fun patrol. Wards' assigned patrol routes weren’t fun to begin with, but tonight she was also supposed to put up with a kid.
She had hoped that by now Aegis would learn to let her patrol solo, but no, the stuck-up prick wanted to pretend he was in control and ...

“She attacked my daughter!”
“Thank you, Brandish. I heard you the first time,” Director Piggot replied dryly.
In Emiya’s honest opinion, the situation with Dean’s girlfriend had ended amicably. It turned out the girl had an emotional aura— the very power that convinced Glory Girl that Dean and her were in this cluster t...

It started with little things.
Battery offered congratulations. Assault made inane jokes. Dauntless told Colin to ask him if he needed advice, which Colin didn’t appreciate. Velocity nodded at him in a manner that his algorithm pinged as his colleague trying to convey some meaning beyond ‘affirmative’.
Then Miss Militia started...

The helmet was irritating. There was a reason he never bothered with one, preferring an unobstructed line of sight over additional protection. Reinforcement his flesh did not make Emiya completely bulletproof, but it w...

Two weeks after our introduction to the public, my life settled into a comfortable routine. The arrangements for my schooling were finalized. My request to skip a grade had been approved after I made my argument and passed the tests. Actually, I tried to see if I would be allowed to skip middle school altogether, but I was denied due to concerns...

A/N: Double update today. Make sure you haven't missed Chapter 8.
There was a lot Emiya did not like about these ‘heroes’. As someone intimately familiar with the topic, the way it was handled in this timeline grated on him.
Case in point: today was the day he and his sister were to be introduced to the public as the cit...
