Episode Title:
Dancing After School.Episode Description:
Five years ago, Kiritsugu tells Shirou about how he once wished to become a hero of justice. Shirou promised Kiritsugu to fulfill that dream in his place, after which Kiritsugu passes away in satisfaction. In the present day, Shirou goes to school alone, despite Saber's insistence that she accompany him. At school, Shirou learns from Issei that Ayako had gone missing the previous day and that she was last seen arguing with Shinji, who is currently absent, with no one able to contact him. As school ends for the day, Shirou is confronted by Rin, who attacks him despite his protests. After a brief chase, Rin eventually corners Shirou and tries threatening him into handing over his remaining Command Seals. Before she can carry out her threat, they hear a scream. Shirou investigates and finds an unconscious female student who has most of her mana absorbed. As Rin treats the female student, Shirou is wounded after shielding her from an incoming attack by the Servant Rider. He then pursues Rider into the nearby woods, where he is restrained and nearly killed, only to be saved by Rin, whose appearance prompts Rider to flee. Rin treats Shirou's wounds and decides to call off their fight, taking him to her house to evaluate the situation. Once there, the two agree to have a truce and track down Rider and her Master together. The following night, Rin is outraged upon learning about Shirou's magical training, as Kiritsugu did not adhere to the tradition of magecraft and prioritized himself as a father rather than a mage.
