2 Chapter 2

Despite never liking the teen much. Rin did not like the fact that she had just seen a student that she knew get killed. It disturbed her with the way the head still smiled despite being separated from the body.

A brach snapped as lancer looked towards another student hiding and watching. Tohsaka's eyes widened as she quickly ran to help the fake janitor whom she was secretly fond of but was too much of a tsundere.

Rin quickly disappeared as she went to help her secret crush all the while Anastasia came rushing after feeling her connection with her master disappear. The bloody corpse on the ground horrified her. Despite not knowing her master for long, the way he was killed was gruesome with his head detached from the rest of his body.

Yet she was still here, she required an anchor to be in this world, the anchor being her master, yet she was still not disappearing which meant...

She flinched a bit as she turned around to see her master perfectly fine, the connection between them was restored as if nothing had happened. His clothes where fine as if nothing had happened. Her eyes narrowed as she questioned her master "I saw you dead. You were clearly dead. No magecraft or illusions where used. No prana fluctuations at all. You were truly dead. So how?"

『You're not wrong Anastasia-chan! I truly was dead at that moment. It was quite a fascinating view seeing your body as you fall down onto the dirt.』

His smile was still present despite having been killed just a moment before. His mind snapped as he realised he forgot the his catchphrase.

『Ah right! I forgot to say my catchphrase for a situation like this!』

『All Fiction. My destruction is undone.』

His gaze shifted to Rin who was looking at him in shock.

『Well how was it?』

Anastasia replied instead "It's strange but not in a bad way." Kumagawa's smile stretched even wider before he looked to see Rin looking at him as if he was a weird animal in the zoo.

She stuttered "Y-y-you! I s-saw you die! Your head was separated from your damn body! There were no prana fluctuations and no sign of illusions either!"

Kumagawa simply shrugged 『I did die. So I simply made it so my death never happened』 Archer was behind Rin with a grim face. The boy was entirely human yet his entire demeanour and the way he spoke simply put him off. He was most certainly not lying when he said he simply made it so his death never happened. The question was how?

Kumagawa grinned as he informed Anastasia through the link. 『Please don't stop me.』

A giant pointy screw materialised as he flipped it over a few times before practicing a few thrusts and turning it a few times. Archer readied his two blades prepared for any attack that might suddenly come.

What happened next chilled everyone as the screw positioned to his side before he swung the screw straight into his head. Blood splattered onto Anastasia's clothes as she quickly touched it to make sure it was real. Despite knowing it was real, the person in question simply smiled and screwed it in even tighter.

『So believe me now?』

Rin was shaken at Kumagawa's display. He had a screw through his head, he shouldn't be alive at all. Kumagawa smiled before answering her question 『I simply made my death into nothing. Without death there can only be life!』He waved the two behind as he proceeded to walk back to his house with a blood covered Anastasia following behind.

As soon as they got back home Kumagawa apologised 『I'm sorry you had to see that Anastasia-chan.』Anastasia simply nodded before she pointed out "You still have a screw in your head." Kumagawa looked shocked before exclaiming 『I forgot about that! Thank you Anastasia-chan!』She blinked and it was all gone. The blood on her disappeared and the hole through his head also disappeared. As if it never happened.

Anastasia needed to know what she was working with. "Master, what did you really do?"

Kumagawa smiled 『All Fiction, the power to deny aspects of reality. A power I developed purely through my personality, a skill if you will. My minus.』

Anastasia quickly put the links together.

"You basically have a true magic albeit a new one maybe?"

Kumagawa shrugged 『I don't care since i don't use magic or magecraft or whatever you call it. Those screws where made simply because I wanted them to be there. I simply imposed my will on reality itself with my presence.』

『Ever since I escaped that fire, I crawled through the chaos, aware of the world around me being burnt. I hated the world, I hate reality, I hated the fact that people are chained down by reality hence a skill was born, All Fiction, the power to deny aspects of reality. Though it is powerful, it is not my original skill.』

Anastasia was left with one more question to ponder. "Why would you need me if you could win the war easily?"

Kumagawa grinned 『Im anything but a cheater. I am the weakest person in existence, therefore I want to win properly. To beat those despite being the weakest.』

『That is my wish.』

『That is my minus』
