Did you get owned for no apparent reason? Are you wondering why you're sprawled across the floor without moving up in your quest for Round Table glory?
Look no further than the ultimate Q&A section-cum-training area also known as the Tiger Dojo!
Led by none other than the infamous Fujimura Taiga with her disciple Ilyasviel von Einzbern, you are guaranteed to find a way out of your pinch should you encounter a similar situation again!
You'll have to come in yourself though. There's no auto-teleport function around here.

Sol, after wandering around the city, found a dojo with the sign 'Training Available Here'. He entered the dojo to find it empty.
"Helloo~, anybody here?"
'Time to wait..I guess'

Owner of the Tiger Dojo, Fujimura Taiga[/u]
A woman popped out behind Sol, a wide grin on her face. Finally, visitors. Nobody had came around since they opened the Dojo, but that was probably because Shirou finally decided to (Fate/)stay at home and not get into situations where he kept getting killed.
"Welcome to the Tiger Dojo, the Q&A section where we give advice to all those who have been randomly killed by absolutely merciless enemies! I'm Fujimura Taiga and this is the disciple, Ilya!"
A white-haired loli then jumped out from behind Taiga with a yell. She was not actually a loli since she was of age, but that required a lot of twists and turns and playing visual novels and then reading actual novels.
"So, what have you been killed by today?"

"Not killed..frozen rather and by who? I'm not sure really. What does this 'training' involved?"
Sol gestured towards the signboard.
'As long as it's not gonna kill me..it's fine..'

Owner of the Tiger Dojo, Fujimura Taiga, and Disciple Ilya[/u]
"Oh, frozen..."
Fujimura gave a exaggerated disappointed sigh as she said this, until Ilya tapped her on the shoulder and whispered into her ear.
"Ah, yes, being frozen probably means Eva-chan... Waittaminute..."
Whipping out her mighty weapon of choice, the Taiga Shinai, Fujimura Taiga smashed Sol over the head with it, much to Ilya's amusement.
"She used to only hit me with that. I think the new Tiger Dojo has new policies now."
"DO YOU KNOW HOW SERIOUS IT IS TO HAVE EVA-CHAN INTERRUPT A BATTLE?!"
"Hey, it's not that bad. She left them alive. I would have turned them into dolls."
"... Shut up."
Taiga hit Ilya with her Shinai before calming down and explaining the situation.
"People like Eva-chan are known as Round Table Guardians, extremely strong individuals who for whatever reasons have decided not to participate in the competition but have to work anyway. Some of them are stronger than even the Demon Lords, and I hear there are those that would even give the Overseer a hard time. They only stop official battles when things get out of hand, and the only way to keep them from appearing is by making sure that the battle maintains fairness. Get it?"
"Mwuuu, this hurts. But anyway, Taiga, since he's still alive, there's no need to lecture him so much. I think he just wants to be strong enough to match the 90th Knight Team anyway."
"Good point. Take this then."
Fujimura Taiga drew a generic shinai out of nowhere and tossed it at Sol.

"Woah..careful there"
Sol fumbled over the thrown shinai, hitting himself in the process and was knocked unconscious.

Blahblahblah Taiga and Ilya[/u]
"Ara, he got knocked out."
"Let's replace his arms with guns and his legs with tank threads!"
"That sounds fun! I'll go get the saw!"
"Yay! I'll go get the Gatling guns!"
There was a bustle of activity as the two of them prepared to rebuild Sol's body. It would probably hurt quite a bit, but then again, Ilya was a pretty damn good mage, and she knew what she was doing. Most of the time, anyway.

'Ugh..that hurt..and why is it so noisy?'
Sol opened his eyes, got up and took the shinai that had fallen near him.
"Next time..tell me when you're gonna throw something..please, and what are you two doing with that saw and guns?"

Taiga and Ilya[/u]
"Ara, he woke up."
"Awww... What a perfect chance wasted."
Tossing the saw and guns away with an off-handed action, Taiga smiled somewhat sheepishly and stared at Sol.
"I can't believe you missed that throw! It's obvious why you couldn't win! Your reflexes are poor and you can't hold your own in combat! How are you supposed to beat the cute girls in the 90th Knight Team if you can't even anticipate their shots!"
The master of the Dojo was obviously on a roll by now, and there was no real way anyone could stop her.
"So for your training, Ilya is going to shoot at you until you can dodge her attacks!"
"Yes! I get to shoot him! Well, this spell is actually Rin's specialty, but since she's not here..."
Ilya skipped to the other end of the Dojo hall, raised her hands and fired black balls of energy at Sol.
Fujimura Taiga, who had somehow disappeared out of range of the attacks yelled her explanation at Sol.
"Those are Gandr shots! If you get hit by one, you'll be feeling sick for a while, so make sure you get out of the way!"

'Dodge them? I don't think I need to do that..'
Sol created a steel wall between him and Ilya.
'They don't bother to even ask for my ability..'

"Projection magic huh..."
Ilya gave a smile while she continued shooting, while Fujimura just started laughing.
"Well, you're better than Shirou-chan when he first started fighting at least! He had to use a classroom table to stop those shots!"
"Not that it was me who was shooting. I wish I was there to see it though, Onii-chan is so cute."
"But anyway, you don't actually pass until you hit Ilya with your Shinai, so hiding there isn't going to do anything."

Sol put his shinai on the ground and move it with telekinesis..silently along the walls of the dojo, heading behind Ilya.
'Don't underestimate me just yet...I got more tricks that just that'
Sol created fake shinai(s?) and throw them at Ilya with telekinesis.

Taiga and Ilya[/u]
Ilya eyed the flying shinai, and ignored most of them, instead widening the spray of her Gandr and slowly increasing her rate of fire.
"Your replication isn't as accurate as Onii-chan's! These shinai feel too new!"
"Mmm! Ilya-chan is learning!"
Still, having projection and telekinesis in tandem was a fairly deadly combination. Sol had potential to get much stronger, but for now, his tricks were still incomplete. Against a master mage, (not that Ilya was truly a mage,) the nature of his projections were clear, and sometimes that could be deadly.

'Good..they didn't realized of the real shinai..time to strike'
Sol dispelled his wall and began dodging the shots, throwing more shinai with telekinesis while the real one prepare to strike Ilya from behind.

Taiga and Ilya[/u]
"Ilya-chan, behind you!"
"Yes, master!"
Ducking the flying fake shinai, Ilya spun around and stared at the telekinetically controlled real shinai with her Mystic Eyes, focusing her magic of transference to break the bond between the weapon and the magician. The shinai dropped, having lost the mana trail bonding it to Sol.
"Osu! Time to start shooting again!"
Ilya turned back to Sol and started firing her Gandr, starting relatively slowly but gradually increasing the speed.

'So much for that plan..'
Sol created another steel wall infront of him, he then tries to re-control the shinai with telekinesis while shooting varies objects of different sizes at Ilya instead of just shinai.

Taiga and Ilya[/u]
"Go! Fight, Ilya-chan!"
"Osu!"
Dodging what she could and magically disabling everything that she could not, Ilya maintained her pressure on Sol. He should have realized that such a plan that involved hiding behind a wall was useless by now, and honestly, Ilya could have just dropped the magical equivalent of a grenade on his head, if she was being serious.

Sol, after re-establishing control of the shinai with telekinesis, immediately strike Ilya with it, but not before throwing something large at Taiga to block her view.
'You're not gonna interrupt this time...I won't let you, hopefully this works..I'm running out of ideas'

Taiga and Ilya[/u]
"CHEEEESTO!"
Swinging her almighty Tiger Shinai down on the object sent flying her way with a mighty warcry, Fujimura Taiga easily knocked it out of the way, and it smashed into the ground from the sheer force that the master of the Dojo could muster.
"Kyaaaah!"
Ilya instinctively ducked from the shock of Taiga's yell, and the flying shinai passed over her head harmlessly. It was a lucky dodge, but then again, Ilya could probably have followed the path of that one particular weapon endlessly if she wanted to. Sol's attacks were nowhere as fast as those of Servants, and Ilya could catch them if she really tried.

'Dammit..guess I have to use plan B'
Sol created steel walls beside, behind and above him, making a steel cube, but not before retrieving the real shinai and replace it with a fake one while still distracting Ilya with varies objects flying around.
After getting the shinai, he then create a hole beneath him and went 2m underground, ending his barrage of objects.

"A box. You can't look out from a box, and he'll probably suffocate after a while. What should we do, master?"
"Don't worry Ilya-chan! He'll have to come out eventually!"
With a cute laugh, Ilya bounced around the battlefield, crossing the tatami floor until she was right next to the box. She then picked up a random item from the floor and banged it against the steel box, producing a resounding noise throughout the dojo.
If Sol was inside, he would probably have been knocked silly by the sheer noise of it all, but unknown to Ilya, he was somewhere underground.

'Heh..it's working..'
Sol jumps out from the area behind Ilya, spins 740 degrees and did a diagonal slash, all done in within 3 seconds.
'The chances of escaping from that one is less than 1%..which I doubt you're lucky enough to get'

"Eh? My boundary field...?"
Ilya spun around when Sol poked through the ground, responding to Sol breaching the dojo's grounds by digging underground and back up again. Still, it was a little bit too late to fully dodge the attack, so she just covered her head with one hand and pointed her finger at Sol with the other.
"Kyaaaah~!"
There was a bright flash of light as she fired a massive Gandr at Sol, perhaps trying to intercept his attack with her own.

'What the...crap, this is bad'
Sol was sent flying to the other side of the dojo.
'Ok this is soooo not my day. Ugh, seems by armor doesn't do much to reduce the effect of that shot'
Sol dropped onto the floor and started to puke.

"Erm..."
"Baka-deshi! Who told you to zap him until he puked?! CHESTO!"
"ARGH! I'm sorry! OUCH! This is disciple abuse!"
Taiga started chasing Ilya around the hall, hitting her with the Tiger Shinai whenever she got the chance, much to Ilya's displeasure.
"OW! STOP! I think I figured out something!"
"Eh? What?"
"Well, his armour is pretty useless against magic, so we could enchant it to give it magic resistance!"
"Oh... Okay..."
