"Would they be able to sense an artifact being used, thanks to the damaged necklace?" asked Issei in concern.
The two Celts' eyes zeroed in on him, "Issei…what did you do?" asked Morrigan, reminding him of a scolding parent.
"Alright but you can't be mad at me," replied Issei.
"What. Did. You. Do?" repeated Morrigan, through gritted teeth.
"Okay first, I was minding my own business…" started the teen.
"Oh really?" scoffed the Goddess.
"I was!" he cried.
"And exactly what happened while you were 'minding your own business?'" interrogated the Goddess, while Scáthach just had a smile form on her face.
"So I was delivering Rias' message when I see a man murdered on the floor, suddenly I'm attacked by an insane exorcist and his Fallen Angels before they kidnap when one of my friends," reiterated Issei.
"I couldn't use Gae Bolg or Tauropolos so I tried my new card and…kind of burnt down the entire building," he admitted with a sheepish smile.
The Goddess just shook her head, "Issei why is it every time you fight a building is destroyed?"
"He definitely takes after me doesn't he?" said Scáthach with a proud smile, causing Morrigan to glare at her.
"Still property damage aside, how does this affect the Shinto Pantheon?" asked the Goddess.
"Well the Caster card contained Tamamo No Mae," replied Issei, only to get two confused looks from the Celts.
"Issei we're Celts, we don't know the lore behind the Shinto Faction," reminded Scáthach, making Issei give them an embarrassed smile.
"Right sorry, well Tamamo was a facet of the Shinto Sun God Amaterasu…and I kind of used her abilities to fight off the Fallen," he explained, drawing horrified expressions from the two Celts.
"A God's power being used by a human and in her own territory no less…it's no wonder the necklace cracked," murmured the witch.
"So they know about him?" questioned Morrigan with a frown.
Scáthach shook her head, "they know that something is in their territory, thankfully the necklace was still able to mask his location. I'll have to make a stronger necklace tomorrow."
"Good so can I go now? I have to rescue Asia," groaned Issei as he got up from the bed.
"Issei you're not going anywhere, you're still injured," scolded Morrigan.
The teen ignored her as he got to his feet, "if I don't do something, God knows what they'll do to her!"
"You don't even know where to start looking Issei, wait until your wounds have healed," reasoned the Goddess.
"It will be too late by then!" shouted Issei, only to cough as pain spread from his stomach.
Morrigan only sighed before she left the room, leaving Issei alone with the witch whom was staring at him with a confused expression on her face. Eventually Scáthach just sighed as she walked over to his drawers and a small knife appeared in her hand.
"You going to go anyway, aren't you?" she asked, with a frown as Issei nodded in reply.
"Rune Magic is a very useful thing, isn't it? I remember how surprised I was when I saw the ease at which my student picked it up. In fact he even had learnt obscure runes that most don't bother with, like the Rune of Searching," commented Scáthach, making Issei glance at her in confusion.
The witch just ignored the confused looks being sent her way and smiled as she broke off a piece of his wooden drawer, "that Rune is a funny one. Simply picture what you want it to find and it will hunt it down, be it an item, place…or person."
Scáthach then carved a rune into the piece of wood before she held it up for Issei to see as she continued explaining, "But it has a very limited range. However, after studying Rune Magic for years I developed a way to increase this range to a small town…almost the size Kuoh."
The witch then threw the piece of wood onto his bed as she began heading for the exit, right before she closed the door the witch gave him an amused smile. "Of course, you'd need to have knowledge on Rune Magic in order to use it," she finished and the door clicked shut.
Issei just looked at the door before a smile grew on his face as he picked up the piece of wood, "Include, Lancer."
Hearing this Scáthach just grinned in amusement before summoning Gae Bolg and heading for the door, only to be stopped by Morrigan once she reached downstairs. "Where are you going?" questioned the Goddess with a suspicious look on her face.
"Just for an enthusiastic walk around town," replied Scáthach with a grin.
"Armed with Gae Bolg?" commented Morrigan, raising her eyebrows.
The witch's grin just widened, "a very enthusiastic walk."
"Why did you let him go? He is in no condition to fight," sighed Morrigan, glaring at the witch.
Scáthach just nodded, "true but short of holding him hostage in his own home, there is nothing we could do to stop him."
