Westminster Abbey.
Under the full moon rising in the sky studded with small splendours, Alessandro Serpi and Saber met their rivals waiting for them in front of the church: Fukano Harumi and Archer. Alessandro was not surprised to see them, he had noticed that the two were first following them and then they had overtaken them, they probably realized that he and Saber were heading to Berserker and Yukiko.
Harumi was standing, ten meters from Alessandro, with a fiery look and a strong spirit, ready to fight as opposed to the boy in front of her who was clearly annoyed. Alessandro had no intention of wasting his time with Harumi, it was clear from that arrogant expression and from the fact that he continued to glance briefly at the entrance of Westminster Abbey: he wanted to enter and face Yukiko.
Harumi asked:
« Are you in such a hurry to face Berserker? »
« Yes. »
« Well, too bad for you but I'll be the one to go in there. »« Honestly, I'm surprised. »
« About what? »
« To see you alive. Neither Assassin, nor Caster nor Lancer managed to get here but instead I'm in front of Archer with the weakest Master I've ever faced. It's a miracle. God protects you, Fukano Harumi. »
« You really are an arrogant asshole. » She said.
« Maybe, but I'm still stronger than you. »
« Since I first saw you at Regent's Park, I quickly realized you were an arrogant, self-centered, apathetic without desires. You're just here to hinder me. You're just a bastard who has to stop me from having a better life. »
« Have you finished insulting me? »
« Yes, I will defeat you immediately. »
A magic circle with the dragon symbol appeared under Harumi's feet and the girl was enveloped in a rainbow-colored light. Harumi jumped to Alessandro who, without batting an eyelid, snapped his fingers and said:
« Dis. »
The magic thrust had no effect on the girl and this left Alessandro stunned. Harumi hit him with a fist so strong that he tipped over. Even Saber was shocked to see how much the girl had improved.
« As you can see, I'm no longer weak. »« Perfect. » Alessandro said, getting to his feet.
« Will you take me seriously now? »
« You can count on it! »
Alessandro snapped his fingers again and exclaimed:
« Defendere! »
The girl saw a magic shield appear in front of her rival but she was not impressed and hit the barrier with a series of punches that managed to smash it and then, quickly, she tried to attack even Alessandro but the latter managed to avoid the last blow in the last moment and recovered ground while trying to understand the magic of Harumi. Surely it was a remarkable physical enhancement, like that of Murakawa Tetsuya but better, something that concerned the magic circle used before. Alessandro had to find a way to be able to fight his opponent without getting hit. He dodged more shots and then snapped his fingers and exclaimed:
« Gladius Flammae! »
A sword of fire appeared out of nowhere, it started like a bullet against Harumi piercing her belly, but she was able to tear off the weapon and the wound healed immediately. Alessandro Serpi was shocked, he didn't know how to explain such magic.
« I have to congratulate you, Harumi, I never expected such magic. Many Coven scholars have always tried to reproduce the incredible regenerative abilities of Avalon, the Excalibur scabbard, but you managed to get those abilities with a single Magecraft. »
« Now do you take me seriously? »
« Yes, but I'm not afraid of you. In fact, I believe the explanation behind that power of yours is fairly obvious. Magicraft isn't something unrelated to the human soul, soul and Magecraft are like earth and plants. When the soul is in a certain state, a certain condition, it is possible that you release enough magical energy to do what you are doing now. »
« Then? »
« More intensely a flame burns faster the wood burns. How long will that magic last? This is what interests me. »
Harumi ran to the enemy and prepared a blow so powerful that it would kill Alessandro but the boy snapped his fingers and said:
« Manus Sancti. »
A sudden glare blinded Harumi, the girl fell to the ground and when she returned to see she felt tired, unable to get up, for some strange reason she was weakened. Alessandro looked at her with a satisfied grin and told her:
« I won. »
