Ah, that was the problem. The woman had attended this very same academy all the way until college, she had been one of its students and even was part of the kendo team herself.

Taiga also would have won a few championships if she didn't have a certain habit of letting a tiger striped tag on the handle of her sword.

That was completely against the rules, both sides had to fight with equal equipment for the fairness of competition.

The tag actually did nothing, it was just her preference but rules were rules and Fujimura Taiga never passed the third place.

But that didn't mean she wasn't skilled, if it wasn't for the rules or her lack of respect for them it was assured that she would have won a lot of competitions.

But all that, all the joys and failures, all that happened in her time as a student of the Homurahara Academy.

When she graduated from college she came back and even if the academy was not as grand as it once was it was still important to her.

"Come on Tiger, you had lots of students go in the past." It was hard but not new right? "What is different this time?"

The woman gives him a nod and a smile but Shirou even could tell it was fake. "You are right! You are right! Doesn't mean a teacher can't have her favorite students together for a small go away party right?"

"You remember that there is still a full day of classes right?"

"Yes, but I am super excited!" And it showed. The woman was almost bouncing with repressed energy. "I see you there okay?"

The tiger exits the classroom, supposedly to have her own lunch. "Oh before I forget!" Her head appears at the door.

"Do me a favor and pass by the club to get a commemorative sword. It will be there until you get it."

And with that she was gone, the students, used to her antics, just kept eating while Shirou stopped to think for a bit.

He didn't decide if he was going to go do that or just go home but at the very least he could go collect the sword.

He didn't have the courage to tell her he was quitting… maybe he could stay for another year?

Either way Shirou still had stuff to do and his next stop was in the student council room and as a bonus if he decides to eat he is sure the main secretary will let him.

Suddenly his nose started to ich, it was not something uncommon but he also felt a particular smell from… his right.

Shirou looks to the window in the hallway and sees on the school grounds a girl dressed in a uniform that has nothing to do with theirs.

Like their academy it had long sleeves and a tie but that was where the similarities ended.

The colour was all different, not wrong for the girl was dressed well but had to force his vision to notice all the differences but some were easy to not.

It had a shoulder cape for starters, the skirt was smaller, much smaller in perspective of a magenta color with a matching corset. Paying close attention he could see the white ascent on the skirt and the lines on the shirt but that was until he noticed the person itself.

She was beautiful with blue eyes and the most vivid red hair that he had ever seen, but that was not what caught his attention.

A person like her was standing in the middle of the grounds, surrounded by people and no one said anything, nobody reacted to her, it was like she had no one's attention and that should be impossible.

But what Shirou found truly odd was that the girl was looking at him. Not in his general direction but directly at him.

He didn't know why but he could tell she was looking at him for a few seconds, maybe a minute until she let out a smile.

Then Shirou blinks and the girl is gone, the ich on his nose and the smell are too.

The red haired teen didn't like that but everything felt normal. 'Did I imagine that?' He thinks to himself for a few seconds and just shakes his head.

Strange things happen but he can also make mistakes, most importantly the smell was gone and that actually helped to forget what that was.

It would be strange if he just jumped at shadows because he suddenly smelled the smell of burned earth and sulfur.

…..

"I am changing schools next year." Issei, his friend for a long time, had told Shirou while they ate in the council room, there were only the two of them there.

"You are?" Shirou didn't hide his surprise. Ryuudou Issei was dedicated to his job on the student council and there was no secret he planned to run for president in his first year of high school, a first if he manages to win in his first year.

The young man had squared glasses, well kept black hair, his uniform hadn't a single defect and is the son of the main monk of a temple that he cared the same name as him.

He was serious and when Shirou offered to help repair some stuff it was he who took Emiya seriously.

They hit it off from there, almost everyday Shirou ends up going for the student council to ask if they needed help with something and it was Issei who would work with him, getting tools or just showing him what needed to be done.

They also talked with each other about the future, school, their colleagues and such. Shirou was the only person that Issei trusted with his intentions of becoming president and now he also just told him he essentially quit.

Issei didn't quit, he was not super competitive but Shirou knew that there was a thing Issei was proud of was his position on the student board with his grades and his work in the student council.
