Shinji Matou was one of a group of stereotypical playboy's that showed up at almost every co-ed school in the country, he had exotic blue hair, good looks, excellent grades and was a member of the Archery club making a target for the affections of many womenat Homurahara High School. However that was only his public face as he was actually an arrogant, prideful jerk who tended to flaunt his family name everywhere in order to make himself feel important then he actually was and had a massive inferiority/superiority complex against those who were better then him both physically and academically.

     This had gotten so bad that he tended to frequently beat his little sister Sakura up (and other unsavory things) in order to let out his frustrations, which predictably earned him a knuckle sandwich from his former friend Shirou Emiya a year ago.  However that wasn't important right now as he was waiting in the woods behind the school after Archery in order to meet up with his associate in order to hear her report about a certain task he ordered to perform. Sure enough he was greeted with the sight of a tall woman with long flowing purple hair that was up to her ankles, a voluptuous body covered in tight black clothing with thigh high boots, as well as a blindfold covering her eyes, all in all she was the epitome of what a man would want in a woman. However this beauty had fangs as she was actually a powerful heroic spirit summoned for the 5th Holy Grail war as servant Rider and was currently serving as Shinji's servant after he coverced her previous master to hand over control of Rider to him via the Book of false Attendant however there was a snag in his brilliant plan. Originally the Matou's were a powerful magus family from Russia however their descendants started to loose circuits after they moved to Japan, which meant that by Shinji's generation he didn't have any magic circuits at all, which meant that he was unable to supply Rider with the necessary prana to fight let alone remain in the physical plane.

      Which was why the blue head had ordered his servant to attack innocents in the city in order to feed on their Odic reserves, as well as have her set up a bounded field around the school so that the servant can drain energy from multiple people at once and get revenge on the idiots who mocked him at the same time, which meant that he had upgraded from a jerk into a complete monster in just a few days. However things didn't seem to have been going his way at all as Someone had been destroying the sigils that Rider had set up around campus, meaning that it would take longer to set Blood Fort Andromeda if this kept up, which was why he sent the servant out earlier during school in order to find out who was destroying those sigils so Shinji can sick Rider on them and get back to setting the Bounded field up.

Which was why he was waiting in the forest behind the school as he needed to do this away from prying eyes.

"Well Rider did you find out who it was yet?" Shinji asked which got a reply from his servant as she nodded her head and gave her report.

"Yes master I did, while I was checking on the locations where the sigils were located I noticed someone approaching one of the arrays while sniffing the air like he had sensed it with his nose, he then used some kind of thaumaturgy to materialize a sword out of nowhere and destroy the sigil, since I was far away at the time in order to avoid detection I couldn't get a good glimpse at who it was" Rider reported as Shinji went into thought about what she was talking about.

Based on what she told him this mysterious magus must have used projection as it was the only form of mage craft he knew that allowed a magus to materialize objects out of thin air, which made him wonder what kind of magus would use such a useless art like Gradation air

"did you at least see any distinct features about him?" he asked irritably as he needed any info he could squeeze out of Riders report.

"Actually 'master' there was something, while I couldn't see his face it did happen to notice that he had red hair" this new info froze Shinji in his tracks ashe knew only one person he knew that had red hair. Shirou Emiya, his 'former friend from middle school, captain of the Archery club that he attends and the person his sister Sakura visits every morning to make breakfast for him, he would have forbidden her from going over there a long time ago but his grandfather wanted her to continue for whatever reason, but based on what he heard just now there was definably a reason for that. That insufferable red-head was a magus all along and Shinji never even realized it from the time that they knew each over, of course this probably explained why he was hanging around with Tohsaka since she was the secondowner but that didn't make him feel any better, in fact it made him hate the red-head more then before.

      Which was why he was seething with rage at the thought of a 1st generation scum like Emiya having circuits when he was the heir of Matou, after making his mind up on what to do next Shinji addressed his servant.

"Rider, I have a very important task for you"

As the servant of the mount looked to her temporary master through that blindfold as if she could still see through it she waited for him to give his order.

"I want you to go to Emiya's housefind that 3rd rate hack and kill him but make sure its slow and painful" As he saw dematerialize into spirit form to travel incognito the prideful idiot let his mind wander of the sort of things Rider would do to the red-head, afterall what were the chances that Emiya would even stand a chance against a servant.
