What Rias 'forgot' to say was that the public records of Emiya Shirou were already altered by someone else and she double checked twice.
With just Rias and Akeno alone they also started to leave, no word was traded among them for the moment. The walls have ears, something expected when the population of the school included a good bit of beings with enhanced senses or magic skills.
In a way, Kuoh was like an embassy and every 'foreign' power was working to elevate themselves and pass new integence for their camps. It would not be weird if there was some seal or bug on the walls or lamps.
"All ended well didn't it, Buchou?" Akeno says with a smile, she probably wanted to tease her more but Rias just took the comment for what it was.
"Indeed. Who would have thought that the Emiya name was so scary?" She spoke out loud for the spies and for herself. When she told her brother the name of the magus and he gave her permission it was with an express order.
'Don't press for it, if he says 'no' let it go.' Was the command but not one born out of fear. Even if the communication between realms is… shoddy at best Rias could still hear the respect in her brother's voice.
People fear the Magus Killer, that is a fact, and Lucifer respects him, also a fact, she couldn't help but ask why once they were in the same place. All her brother did was smile and nod, saying nothing else.
Either way the deal was made and the pact signed, Rias didn't care about the Magus Killer and Shirou's abilities were enough. Once they meet up she can go and work out the details for some rare materials she already negotiated during vacation.
"Akeno, we are going to the clubhouse."
"Ara? Aren't we going to look for Emiya-kun?" The Queen was curious about the decision.
"I will ask Kiba to look for him later, they still need to spar!" And Rias really wants to see this fight. "But for now let him go and find a club of his own." Of course if he wanted he could join hers but he didn't need to as the pact was their bond.
But she wanted him to join hers, for the sake of his research she was going to make the offer and try to convince him but she was also not going to press him, she had time.
Rias was the president of the Occult Research Club, a great cover for her operations, and she could already guess that there would be plenty of magicians going there to try for a pact with her. She will have some fun watching them make fools of themselves until Shirou shows up.
Finding a club in Kuoh can be surprisingly hard, not because of the lack of variety but for the variety itself. So to help the students the first day of school is not for presentations or anything like that, it is about mingling with each other, having some fun and joining a place to do something one can enjoy.
It was a benefit of having a university bound together with the school, it allowed the chance for everyone to have some fun.
…..
"Shirou... I am feeling a bit overwhelmed." Issei couldn't help but say it and Shirou would agree wholeheartedly. This place was supposed to be a school and yet.
"COME HERE! JOIN THE MARINE LIFE APPRECIATION CLUB!" "HAVE PASSION! JOIN THE DANCE CLUB!" "SHOW YOUR MOVES! COME TO THE VOLLEYBALL!"
There were many 'tents' with demonstrations, shows and exhibitions. Most were managed by the girls of the school with some college students joining in to help. "Does this happen every year?" Shirou couldn't help but ask.
"I have no clue." The two of them were walking around and looking at the many exhibitions. "Are you going to join the kendo club again? It may be different here since there are also going to be some college students."
For a second that made Shirou deliberate. 'That would be different'. He would have more experienced people to spar with and that would help him grow more. On the other hand the problem was the limitations of kendo, unlike a real fight where one does everything to win in kendo there is always the same point system… "No, I don't think I will." Shirou reaffirmed his previous decision. "I have nothing to gain from it anymore." He then looks at Issei. "What about you?"
"I still wish to join the student council." Issei says with hard eyes, his mind focused on his single goal.
"Then go, I will be fine." Shirou didn't know if there was a tent for the council or he needed to ask someone or something. The redhead still needs to talk with Liz and ask what she was going here and as a teacher no less, but knowing his mother she must have something to do with it.
"Don't worry about me Shirou, focus on finding something that clicks with you."
'Something that clicks huh?' Kendo did click with him, both with his skills and soul. The problem with it was that he reached the peak in kendo, it had too many limitations to help him grow more.
And he wanted to grow, Shirou didn't enjoy it enough to do it for fun. There is no fun in just winning and he also had to hold back a lot to make it fair, that above all else was what bothered him. For months he couldn't go all out in a fight anymore, his growth surpassing everyone else's.
It was not strange since unlike his peers his soul was of a sword, his affinity was not just to making them but if he practiced and trained with one he would adapt and overcome any hassle thanks to one simple principle. He could understand his weapon better than anyone else.
The size, the shape, the weight, on a sport like kendo where points define a match precision was key, bread and butter. Sure one needs strength and speed but that also came with precision since the system was there to avoid injuries.
In those kinds of matches Shirou was king, or should be if he bothered. Victory didn't have any value for him since he knew he would win if he goes all out even without magic. He learned dodging by sparring with a fighter homunculus and thanks to exercising with reinforcements his muscles were better than normal people's.
The duo walked around checking some of the exhibitions, there were works of art, sports of many kinds and even a play happening. The yard, gyms, everything was being used for clubs today with any intention that the classes would only start tomorrow.
"Even our festivals didn't have that much stuff." Said an impressed Issei. "The organization alone is astounding. Whoever planned this must be really skilled..." They entered the main building and started making the rounds, seeing how many of the classrooms were turned into studios with small statues and paintings. "You always liked cooking but it appears that the cooking club, if there is any, is not inside."
Shirou just nods while going outside again, he was debating on looking for a cooking club or something similar-
"WHY ISN'T THERE A MAID CAFE?" Demanded to know another boy with square glasses, longer than normal hair, he was in the company of a bald guy, his head shaved, both with black eyes and another guy with brown hair and eyes, this one hair is spiky, short and had a lock running behind his looked average and like everyone else they also had the uniform of the academy but the brown haired had it fully open with a red shirt.
