[Newly strengthened he may be and adaptable was this Saber...
But the difference in skill is showing. He manages to evade the worst of Diarmuid's move, but receives another wound. There's more blood. It soaks into his robes, falls down from his side and soaks into the stone and earth.
But he keeps going. He blocks with one katana, swings with the other.
Inside, the Master hears the sounds of combat. The noise and impact imprints itself upon his mind and while he was told to stay hidden, he wants to, no NEEDS to look... And what he sees is beyond what he even imagined. Saying that it was a fight to the death was one thing. Seeing it in action was another...
Amazing. They're both so strong.
Breathtaking. They're both so swift and agile.
He's awestruck. One of them would have to die from this.
... Blood. Bleeding... More bleeding... why does Saber have to bleed, why does he have to bleed?!]
"I won't come back."
[The boy grips the side of the door tightly, he feels as if his nails were digging into the side. Why did he accept the Servant's terms so easily? What was the point of a so-called honorable battle!? He thought he understood. If he understood, it meant that he was an adult because adults could accept the harsh ways of the world.
But this wasn't it.
The boy sees Ai Thao who's standing off to the side, also a spectator in this fight... The other Master.
