After the classes Shirou got to work. There were some computers and a heater that needed small repairs, at least the computers did need some cleaning while the heater was starting to make a weird noise.

Issei said that he didn't need to bother that much but Shirou liked working with his hands.

Ryuudou offered to stay but there was no need, Shirou would finish it quickly… Until he found a problem.

It was nothing big, per say, but the condition of the heater when he stopped to check was… precarious... as in a fire hazard waiting to happen.

There were no spare parts and he knew it was not safe to leave that alone if no one fixed it soon.

After some thinking he decided to call one person from the administration.

Took over half an hour for someone to get there and while they trusted Shirou's expertise they didn't understand the explanation at all.

After another half hour a proper repairman was called.

"Kid got a point, this is trash."

"But Yamanisuke-san, there is really nothing that can be done?"

Shirou didn't know the man but he was sweating a lot and it was not that hot.

"Well… you can buy a new one." The bald teacher started to sweat some more, Shirou pitted the man since this was not really his job.

"I think I need to call the director for this…"

"Can't you make a decision? I also need my own payment." The old repair man said.

"Hum… Sir…" Shirou felt that he should say something. "If you have some spare parts we can make this last a bit more.

Also you will be able to receive a faster payment, right?" The last part had Shirou asking the teacher.

"I do have some spare but what are you? The junior repair brigade?" Yamanisuke asked.

"No, I just like to help." Shirou smiled to try and reassure the man and the old man chuckled.

"Kids these days… fine I will get some parts in my car but you better buy a new one sometime before the next year starts."

The teacher felt reassured by the compromise.

"I am sure the headmaster won't find problems in agreeing with it."

Now the bald man was calmer, it was evident he had no power to make decisions and the fact that the heater will last until the director can have a say is a bonus.

"The budget here must suck." Shirou heard the repair mumble but at that he could only smile. The man did have a point.

With Shirou's help the man finished the job without further troubles and left without hesitation.

"Thanks for the help Emiya-kun." The teacher Yatame bowed to him in appreciation.

"It was nothing sensei. I was just taking a look and saw a problem, that was all."

"Still… It is already night." The two looked to the sky and the sun had almost set completely.

"I made you waste so much time, I am sorry your last day had to end like this."

"I already said it was fine. I stayed to help because I wanted to." Besides, he likes to help.

"You are truly too nice Emiya-kun." The teacher started to move back to the school.

"I will need to fill out a report asking for a new heater, you are welcome to wait for your parents in the teacher's lounge if you want."

"It will be fine, have a good night sensei." Shirou waves at his teacher and gets moving to leave until he remembers something. "Ah. I forgot to pass the kendo club."

Changing direction he made the steps to the small building that was the club he was a part of.

Shirou didn't plan to be a part of it next year since he found problems because he isn't competitive enough and one of his classmates almost picked a fight because of it.

But that was a problem for next year, he was still a part of the club and it was only fair that he gets the last gift from his teacher if just to not hurt her feelings.

Shirou reached the club, it was one of the most well conserved buildings, a dojo of moderate size.

Shirou expected the door to be locked considering the time but he opened it.

Once he was inside he saw the leftovers of a party, a banner saying 'Good Luck in Kuoh', cups and bottles. It wasn't much and it wasn't a proper party from what Shirou could see but it was a pre-party.

"They must have gone to sensei's home." Shirou whispers, noting on the table beside the drinks covered sword.

It was in a small bag made to carry kendo swords or bats and after turning on the lights he moved to it.

There was a tag with his name on it. "This must be it." Opening it he pulls out the wooden sword.

It was well crafted and made in the style where it could be used as a one hand sword, medium size and slick…

It was not a sword for competitions but it was the style he prefered. Someone must have remembered when he said that once.

Shirou studied the sword for a bit until he noticed a tag on the handle, it was like Taiga's-sensei but instead of a tiger it had the symbol of yin and yang stamped. He couldn't understand why.

'Maybe I should go to the party-' The smell of burned earth came back to his nose.

"You took your time leaving the school magus."

The voice was of a girl, full of confidence and a bit of arrogance. Shirou turns around and sees her once again, the girl with crimson hair from earlier.

The uniform really was out of place in his school but before he had time to think about it he processed what she said. "Magus?

I am sorry but you must be confusing me with someone else."

The girl's smile didn't diminish, if anything it became more pronounced and the smell became stronger.

"Are you telling me you can't feel my energy? Then why are you sweating."
