OOC: Artoria Pendragon (Lily) has requested a master she seems to Trust (Taka) to help her with her training to become a Knight. Taka kindly have submitted a request for other Masters and Servants to join as well and help her with this task. The virtual space will change according to the needs of the Knight Princess and with approval of her Master. Not only combat situations will be generated but also environment changes to shape the inexperienced Knight and the new Master for the upcoming missions. This training thread will have up to 4 people max, two already with Artoria and Taka and 2 left to take.
For a long time now the little Artoria had asked him to help her with her training to become a Knight, honestly for a servant to ask a Master such a thing was already a hard task and for someone who has zero knowledge about knights, history and stuff... way worse. Still Taka had promised the young girl that he would help her. On his way to the Virtual room Taka kept wondering why did he accept in the first place, he was still tired and he probably wanted to rest some more, The hallways were very cold and he didn't feel motivated at all to do this training. "Maybe later~" Or so he should have said... But then again, how could one say no to Artoria's face?
As Taka approached the entrance to the virtual room his clock matched 9 am, they promised to meet up around 9 and wait for any more members if they ever answered to his request. Surprisingly for him, Artoria was not around at all. For someone like her he expected her to be there waiting already but she was not. "Weird... Ah well, I guess I could just stay here and wait." There was really nothing else Taka could do, he leaned on one of the walls next to the entrance to the virtual room, his hands inside the pockets of his pants and looking up to the ceiling thinking about the turns that life have had for him.

What a strange request...
... sounds like fun.
Many, many years ago, there had been a king. A king who's duty on this earth was to protect the people of the planet from the parasites who occupied it. There was a king who wielded the legendary blade Excalibur, and chose twelve knights to be his honour-guard. This king was a hero beloved by all but a hand full of people, and those people sought nothing but his destruction out of jealousy of how beloved he was with his people. The name of that King?
King Richard the Lionheart.
Robert, before he became ROBIN and even before he became Robin Hood, had been one of those legendary twelve knights. He had done his duty to protect his king and to support his decisions, no matter what happened. Thus he knew better than any how greatly his king adored the legends of King Arthur and his knights of the round table. He knew that King Arthur was the man Richard measured himself by, the measure of goodness on this planet.
It seemed like a dream come true, therefore, when Robert found a notice asking for help training the young king of knights so she may reach her fullest potential. How close were the legends to the real person, he wondered as he strode the corridors of CHALDEA. He had, like all counter-guardians, been forced to watch the 5th Holy Grail War as their brother threatened the security of the world in his selfish desire for freedom, placing the planet's safety after his own happiness. He had watched as the King of Knights in her truest form battled against the golden King of Heroes. He held great respect for the woman that Artoria would grow to be. But who did she begin as?
Yet, as he arrived outside the door of the virtual reality room, he found that only one other man was waiting there. This, he supposed, would be the master the note spoke of - Taka Tokisaki.
"Morning!" Robert said, cheerfully, forcing a smile even though there was really nothing to smile about. "You must be the young master mentioned in the note, no?"
Standing a fair six foot, the apparently young servant had an air of charm and grace about him that was hard to deny. Robert, in preparation for the meeting with the young King of Knights, had taken the liberty of arriving in his armour; a green-hooded cloak wrapped around a plain brown suit of leather and mail armour, clearly favouring camouflage over protection. He looked every part the archer that his dossier would report him to be, yet if Taka were to attempt to access it he would see the name ROBIN displayed instead of his truest identity.
One of the pains of being a counter-guardian was that loss of self that EMIYA had been forced to deal with during the fifth holy grail war. Thankfully, unlike his friend, he suffered no delusions of dysphoria. He knew who he was, and even though his dossier did not reveal it, the image of a green-draped archer with an English accent and the name ROBIN? It didn't take a master sleuth to put two and two together.
"May I ask where her majesty is, or are you just waiting as well?"

 Apparently the young King of Knights had been set up for some training. Atlas could do some training. It also gave him a chance to figure out why the hell she had been so scared of him back at the entrance to the cafeteria. He thought he was actually quite nice. He hadn't even scowled or anything! But if nothing else, if she thought he was so terrible then it shouldn't be too much to actually get her trying to beat him down. If that was the point of this training exercise, then Atlas had to pride himself that he would be the best one for the job. Granted, it seemed a terrible race to be in to have little girls scared of you, but small miracles. Then he found out who else was going to be there beside the new Master and the young King of Knights. Having a Master along would be good for mediation. Plus who knows, they might actually be good at this thing unlike Natasha! But of course there was always the possibility of meeting them and realizing they suck. But that wasn't why he was on board with this, it was the other name that caused Atlas to materialize in the group, already fully armored, wielding his sword in one hand and Poseidon in the other. "Well that's just great, and here I thought this was going to be enjoyable." Atlas scowled for a moment. Before it turned into a grin, no, a smile that indicated one was about to tear their head off as he looked at Robert Loxley. "And I was right!" There was a part of him that was slightly disappointed that Gilles had not gotten around to the beatdown. Or that he had and that Atlas had no idea of it, but whatever. "No Command Spells to save you this time, clown. This time your beatdown is officially sanctioned." Because now he could do it himself, like he always wanted! "Or are you going to let out a strangely high pitched squeal and run like you did last time."

The day finally had arrived, one of her masters had promised to help her with her training and she was super excited about it. The hallways seemed endless and their emptiness in the morning made Artoria's heels echo through them. Artoria was late and she knew it, she wanted to surprise her master with a gift but she couldn't really find anything that she think he might like. Then she thought about buying some food for him for when he got hungry but she ended up eating it all herself on the way. By the time she finished her snack it was already over the time they had planned to meet up.
"No no no! Why is this happening today?!" Artoria was desperate, she was running as fast as she could making her way to the virtual room. "Please please, don't be mad at me master! I'm sorry! I'll do anything!" She really didn't know how to apologize and she was already imagining the worst scenario where her master was getting mad at her and maybe even yelling at her.
From the distance Artoria's figure could be sighted, a small girl from afar running very fast in a white battle dress. Artoria smiled and waved her hand at the sight of her Master, two other people had arrived already as well... To her probably the ones that volunteered to help with her training. Artoria knew that she would have to thank them right after apologizing to her master.
When finally arriving to the meeting place the clock was marking 9:10 am, she was slightly late but just the fact of arriving late was a shame to her. She was breathing quickly and she tried to catch up her breath, for as long as 5 seconds she stared at the eyes of her master, although it seemed like he was okay with it she was still worried. Artoria quickly bowed down and almost yelling let her words out "Master! I'm really sorry! I have no excuses for being late and failing you so I'll give it my best with this training! I'll give it my 200% I promise!!!" she then stood up straight and bowed again at her partners, one being a familiar face and the other a strange one.
"My name is Artoria Pendragon! I'm really sorry for being late! Thanks for taking your time to help me..."

A nice way to start the morning one could say? There were no introductions and courtesy seemed to be lost as the two helpers arrived. Tension seemed to be raising or so he thought, then the young Knight appeared.
"..."
One wouldn't think that the King of Knights was an irresponsible person, even if it comes to appointments and such. Maybe she's still young to understand such things. Young or not, Heroine or not she was not going to have it easy with her Master... Neither with the servants that showed up to help.
"Artoria..." An evil grin appeared on Taka's face, his seriousness dropped and he was just about to teach her a lesson. "You bugged every day to help you train and you dare arrive late to the appointment that YOU set?" He approached the young knight, pinching her left ear with his fingers and pulling on it as he walked towards the gates of the virtual room.
"I won't hear any complaints from you, I won't have mercy with you either" He was done playing around, it was now time to get serious. "Everyone, please ignore this brat's complaints about the way I treat her and please follow me in, she has much to learn if she wants to become a Knight".
