Chapter 8
Hey guys, if you guys are wondering why I'm continuing this story, it's because I keep getting more and more inspiration for it, I don't even do anything. (I also had a weird dream about it too, if it doesn't get even weirder)
Disclaimer: I own nothing except my OC.

Opening
---------------------------------------------------------
(3rd pov)
We come back to Joan of Arc pointing her flag pole at Acnologia, with (the not yet named) Sieg and the rest of the Servants of Black watching with either interest, confusion, or shock.
"What?" Acnologia says as she is currently being threatened.
"I said, 'Who are you?'," Joan repeats, though it doesn't clear the tenseness in the air.
"Well, I'm Caster, though I feel like you, of all people, should know that detail," Acnologia replies in a non-serious tone. Joan's left eye twitched slightly, barely noticeable, except to the one being threatened.
"And you are?" More eye twitching.
*fake cough*
Everyone turns towards Vlad, who faked a cough.
"Are you okay, 'O' Mighty King'?" Acnologia asks teasingly, making Vlad slightly glare at her, which she stares straight at.
"Can you please take this seriously?" Vlad asks in a slightly annoyed tone, everyone takes a step back away from him, in case he gets mad.
"Nah. There really isn't a way for me to take this seriously. There really isn't much of a threat to me, to make me serious," Acnologia replies confidently, causing everyone to look at her in disbelief, except Vlad who just shakes his head in disappointment and then facepalms.
'How arrogant can one person be!!!' Everyone, except Acnologia, thought. Acnologia was standing there with both arms crossed behind her head and looking up at the sky, acting like she doesn't care what is currently happening.
"*sigh* Well, we should address another matter," Vlad says, trying to get everyone on track.
"Rider, we must properly punish you, for your blatant act of betrayal," Vlad said as he turned towards Astolfo, who gives a confident grin.
"I have no regrets!!" Astolfo says confidently, causing Acnologia to burst out laughing. He tilts his head in confusion towards Acnologia, who is trying to stifle her laughter, and failing.
"Oh~, then you won't mind the punishment I have planned for you," Vlad says ominously, causing Astolfo's confidence to falter. This causes Acnologia to look at Vlad in interest.
"You will have to fight Acnologia for a minute, no holding back from any side, and no killing," Vlad announces causing Acnologia to choke and cough violently.
"Don't you think that is a little harsh?!" Acnologia exclaims after recovering, to the shock of everyone else. Vlad looks at her with a blank face, though you could see the smallest glint of amusement in his eyes.
"Is it because of how I acted?" Acnologia asks, seeing the glint, to which Vlad nods causing Acnologia to groan.
"He won't last long," Acnologia stated, causing Vlad to nod. This causes Astolfo to start shaking in fear, of fighting Acnologia, which she unfortunately sees. Acnologia lazily turns her head towards him and gives him a predatory grin, scaring him.
Suddenly, Acnologia appeared in front of Astolfo and picked him up like a sack of potatoes, surprising almost everyone there. Acnologia was silent as she took Astolfo back to the castle, who just stayed still in fear of making her angry.
Both they get very far, Astolfo gives everyone a pleading look, only for everyone to turn their heads away, causing him to sulk, a lot.
---------------------------------------------------------
Time skip
---------------------------------------------------------
We now see Acnologia and Astolfo in the 'Advance Training Room', standing 10 feet from each other.
Astolfo was dressed put in his servant clothes holding his lance in hand ready to fight.
While Acnologia was wearing a black t-shirt that says 'KING' in blue on it. With a hood-less black jacket over it. She was wearing black shorts that reach the middle of her thighs. She had her hand in her pockets, looking disinterested, which is making Astolfo mad.
"Hey, can you at least take this fight seriously?!" Astolfo exclaimed, annoyed at Acnologia's behavior. Despite his fear, he was going to fight as hard as possible.
"Okay," Acnologia simply says, while taking her hands out of her pockets. Though they only hang near her sides, still looking disinterested.
As Astolfo was about to complain-
*DING DING*
A loud bell went off, and Acnologia surged towards Astolfo, left hand raised into a fist, ready to strike.
He was barely able to get his lance up to block the attack, though he was shot a good distance away. Acnologia didn't give him any room to breathe, as she rushes towards him with a right punch to the side, which he was not able to block in time, causing him to go flying again, and to start rolling on the ground. As Astolfo rolled on the ground, he got up and swung her lance at Acnologia, who was in front of him again. Acnologia countered by grabbing the lance and stopping it.
Astolfo moves back but tumbles because Acnologia willingly lets go of the weapon. Acnologia kicks him away, causing him to spin in the air, fly, and faceplant into the wall. Causing Acnologia to wince, though it sounded like someone winced as well, causing Acnologia to look around. Though she soon gave up, since she didn't find anyone, and Astolfo fell to the ground with a loud thud. Another wince.
Astolfo gets up, though a little shaky, and looks at Acnologia with a look of determination.
"Trap of Argalia!!!" Astolfo yelled as he pointed his lance at Acnologia and used his noble phantasm. It glowed a gold color and energy flowing into it. He then charged at Acnologia, trying to hit her.
As the lance was a foot away from her, Acnologia suddenly grabbed it with both hands and stopped the attack easily, shocking Astolfo. Acnologia then lifted him off the ground, spun him around, and threw him across the room again.
She charges at him again, though this time she strikes him all over, too fast and too numerous to count. Afterward, Astolfo has barely any armor left, the only thing left was enough to barely cover his private and his chest. He had bruises all over, and he was bleeding from places like his head, his left arm, and his right leg. Though Acnologia doesn't notice his state of dress, all she notices is how Astolfo is still trying to get up. As he finally gets up, Acnologia was already behind him.
"Sorry kid," Acnologia says before she strikes at the nerve at his neck, knocking him out just as the bells went off again. Before he falls, she catches him and gently lays him down. She then places a hand over him and it glows green. All the wounds on him start to disappear.
After a few seconds, all the wounds disappear, though Astolfo is still knocked out. Acnologia leaves him on the floor and walks out.
Though before she walks out, she looks both left and right, then sniffed the air. When she confirmed that she was alone, she walked out and started walking to an unknown location, somewhat aware of someone following her.
After a few minutes of walking, she came to the entrance of the castle and walked out, along with her hitchhiker.
Chiron and Fiore
At the top of the castle, Fiore and Chiron got done talking and looked towards Acnologia, who was walking confidently.
"Are you sure she is that powerful? Casters are known to be the weakest class," Fiore said, though she was curious about how powerful Acnologia is. Chiron nodded his head.
"She was able to harm Rider of Red with a punch, though she did use magic. But even before then she was fighting him on almost equal terms," Chiron explained, though Fiore focused on something else.
"Wait, you said almost, why almost?" Fire asked when she noticed his phrasing. Though Chiron was focused on Acnologia, he felt proud that Fiore was able to pick up on phrasing.
"Caster had an advantage on her side," Chiron vaguely stated, which caused Fiore to tilt her head in confusion for a moment before her eyes widened and she gasped.
Acnologia (and Mordred)
Acnologia walked into the city of Trifas with a purpose. She walked on the streets for an hour before she sniffed the air and turned into a dark alley. There she waited for a few minutes.
That is when Mordred communicated with her master, telling him her location. She was hiding a building adjacent to the alleyway.
After a few moments of waiting, a small figure charged at Acnologia from above, though Acnologia dodged it easily. The small figure then attacked her, with what looked like knives, though Acnologia repeatedly dodges easily, the small figure unable to hit her even once.
Acnologia put one of her hands out causing the small figure to jump out of the way, and luckily it dodged a sudden blast from Acnologia which destroyed the building at the end of the alley causing a small explosion, though the figure wasn't able to dodge the force from the explosion.
The figure flew through the air until it was caught by Acnologia, who jumped in the air to catch it, which she succeeded, in a hug. Acnologia looks down at the small figure and flashed a cocky smirk, causing the small figure to punch Acnologia repeatedly in the chest, though she didn't feel a thing.
Acnologia walked out of the alleyway and set the small figure on the ground, which immediately glared at Acnologia as soon as it touched the ground.
With the light of the moon shining on the figure, it revealed who it was.
It was a small girl with lavender hair and green-yellow eyes, with stitched-up scars on her face. Her upper body is that of an adolescent, while her lower body is more mature like that of an adult, creating an odd juxtaposition to her appearance. She dons a black vest, black panties, and black stockings with pink shoes. Both her arms are bandaged but only her left-hand wears a glove. She has a purple oval-shaped 'O' on each of her shoulders. At the small of her back, she carries several sheaths that hold her knives. Though all of that was covered by the tattered coat she uses as a cloak.
This was Jack the Ripper.
"Hey, Jackie," Acnologia greeted with an arrogant smirk on her face.

Thank you to all my supporters. I would also love for you guys to comment on what I should add to Acnologia stats, what I should change, and if you like it. I love reading all of your comments.
Also, in sorry about how I treated Astolfo in this chapter. I thought it was a good chance for fan service from him, though I was too focused on the fight. Again I'm sorry, to all you Astolfo fans.
Also, Mordred stayed in the castle when Berserker attacked since she didn't really have a way of getting out without triggering the alarms.
