In light of the close incident with the Archibald family, you and Saber decided it was best to return to Yokai after promptly holding a virtual meeting with the Clock Tower to call the rats out. The meeting itself was done with Magecraft rather than tech. There was more to it than just humiliating the Archibald's further. No, it was direct warning that any attempts of revenge on one innocent of Kiritsugu's deeds would be met with deadly force. You made one thing clear: Next time, you would kill your attacker and Reines can attest that it was only mercy as to why she was still alive.

Every family member that had received word was furious. Saber's fierce glare at the members of the Clock Tower, particularly the Archibald's and Archisorte's, sent the same vibe of a lion defending her cub. Mom promised violence and torture through the separate phone call that were unheard of nor thought to be possible. There was also visible dark aura around Aunt Sakura throughout the call. When Dad would hear the news, you were certain he would exercise a bit more prejudice during his next mission.

Back at Yokai, the classes continued and the Newspaper Club continued. However, there was new activity that had come up in the wake of the field trip.

"Is that the right conversion from Mole's to Grams?" Kurumu asked you, pointing to the specific problem. The two of you were studying chemistry together, or more accurately you were helping her learn it. Yukari was handling Mizore. Tsukune and Outer Moka had their own thing going.

"Yep. Multiply given moles by molar mass." You confirmed it. The succubus pumped her offhand fist in triumph over being right, then readjusted herself so that she had as much physical contact with you as possible.

Saber entered the room. She had the advantage of being curious about modern knowledge not supplied by the Grail and Mom's tutelage for the purposes of fulfilling the role of helpful parent if she or Aunt Sakura were absent. Thus under the tutelage of the top female student in her standard education back in her day, Saber was already adept with the material. It did not matter if her performance was poor either. She had no need for academic success.

"What's up Saber?" You felt as if you knew what she was going to say.

"It's as we discussed before. I wish to increase your sparring sessions so you are in optimal condition for combat. Others are free to participate as well." And there it was.

It was interesting to see how everyone would react to the offer. Okay, perhaps that was optimistic as near everyone shied away at the prospect. A combination of seeing her in action and the unease they felt around her blade made the thought of facing Saber, even in a friendly match, a scary proposition. The exception was Yukari nodding. Well she was a de facto apprentice.

But to your surprise, Tsukune raised his hand up.

"Tsukune?" Outer Moka asked.

"For the record, I really appreciate you guys protecting me. But I'm getting tired of feeling helpless. Nothing wrong with me learning to defend myself." He reasoned.

Saber nodded. "Very well."

"Yeah. Right now.... well in a fight, you're kind of deadweight."

"Hey!"

Gently squeezing Kurumu's shoulder, you got up and followed the King of Knights out to a relatively clear area in the forest outside the campus. Saber had shinai's on her person, but they really were not meant for you. No, that was for the likes of Yukari or Tsukune.

You and Saber could go all out in weaponry during a spar in the open. Reason number one was that it was actually nigh impossible to land a hit on Saber. Number two was that she could control herself so that any potentially fatal hit can be stopped. Third of all, if there was a hit, Avalon was in play.
