Even so, at this moment, she was able to use her superb martial arts skills to achieve effects far exceeding her own abilities.

Specifically, this manifests as a completely different way of drawing the gun compared to the previous flashy marksmanship!

The members of the Gunnery Department all fell silent at this moment.

This was the first time they had seen the old woman use a different style of marksmanship.

This might mean one thing—that the opponent who insisted on defending was indeed quite strong, making his teacher take it seriously.

Could it be that the legendary ten-year undefeated record of the private Homurahara Academy finally has a chance to be broken today?!

"Drink——!"

Scáthach, holding her wooden spear, thrust it toward Ian.

If the previous use of 70% of my strength was in response to the opponent's courage...

At that moment, she truly revealed her powerful side to the other party.

Although the Gae Bolg Alternative is not in hand, the method of attack is no different!

bring it on--!

Let me see what else you've got up your sleeve!

However, things took an unexpected turn for the better.

Faced with Scáthach's sudden attack, Ian no longer defended as he had before.

He made a decision that the other party never expected!

The man, wielding a weapon he was unfamiliar with, immediately began to fight Scáthach!

Do not!

It shouldn't be called a direct confrontation!

Instead, he chose to let his body take all of Scáthach's shots!

Has this guy gone mad?!

Scáthach watched this scene in disbelief.

This was the first time she had encountered someone who, when she was being shot, chose not to dodge at all, but instead actively charged at her.

If he had actually gotten his hands on the Gae Bolg Alternative, he would have been riddled with a dozen or twenty holes by now!

etc--!

Scáthach suddenly realized something.

Yes.

What he was holding was not the Gae Bolg Alternative, but just an ordinary wooden gun used for practice by the Gun Do Club!

Besides, with so many people watching, there's absolutely no way I could kill him.

The end result is simply to inflict physical pain on the other person.

As long as you can endure it, it will be your chance to fight back!

Scáthach stared at Ian in disbelief—all of Ian's actions now formed a complete logical chain.

Because we are considering offensive strategies that exist within the rules themselves, we can only temporarily choose to defend.

Having determined the feasibility of an attack, they chose to counterattack.

Although the method at first glance appears to be exploiting a loophole in the rules.

But upon closer examination, one will realize that this is a strategy that requires considerable courage and boldness to execute.

All the patience was for this moment.

This guy is not simple!

But it was too late to realize this.

Driven by her burning desire to defeat Ian, Scáthach unknowingly drew incredibly close to him.

At this distance, even using Instant Step might not be enough.

Besides, she can't use it—because so many people are watching!

The man raised the wooden gun in his hand.

The place he was gripping was not a conventional one.

Instead, they imitated the way swords were used, treating long-handled weapons as short swords.

"Drink——!"

The practice wooden gun was aimed at Scáthach's head.

This was an attack that could absolutely not be avoided.

The legend of the private Homurahara Academy is about to be shattered in front of everyone today!

however--

Once again, the course of events took an unexpected turn.

Instead of striking down as everyone expected, the wooden spear stopped at Scáthach's head.

The man sighed and said:

"Five minutes are up."

"I missed you—I lost."

After saying this, Ian threw the spear in his hand to the ground, then bowed to Scáthach in apology before turning and walking toward the Tohsaka sisters, who looked worried.

"..."

The atmosphere instantly fell silent.

The members of the Gunnery Department looked at each other, neither daring to cheer nor to exclaim in amazement.

They didn't know whether this meant a victory or a defeat for their teacher.

Unlike these members, Scáthach has a very clear understanding of herself.

She picked up the wooden gun that the man had thrown down from the ground, and then put it away along with the one she was holding.

After that, Scáthach yelled at the bewildered members:

"Keep training! Don't slack off!"

"Yes!"

Everything returned to normal, as if the duel had never happened.

But Scáthach knew she absolutely could not think that way.

After a moment of contemplation, she walked up to Ian and the Tohsaka sisters and asked in a completely different tone than before:

"Would you... be interested in chatting with me for a while?"

This was an olive branch extended by Misaya Reirōkan.

You know you have no obligation to refuse this invitation.

[And Rin and Sakura Tohsaka think the same way—they don't intend to cause you any trouble.]

[And so, led by Misaya, the three of you arrived at the Gunnery Club's private lounge.]

In the lounge.

Scáthach locked the door, then drew the curtains and sat down in front of the three of them.

"I apologize for my rudeness earlier."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Ian and the other two looked at each other, unsure of what Scáthach's drastically different attitude meant.

However, Scáthach herself doesn't seem to mind this kind of thing.

After all, she knew that such a sudden and drastic change would raise questions for anyone.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."

Scáthach's gaze fell on Ian in front of her, her eyes filled with obvious concern.

"I just wanted to confirm your name one more time."

"..."

Ian was silent for a moment, realizing that this wasn't a topic that couldn't be repeated.

He had been wanting to tell his sisters about this, and now he had the perfect opportunity.

So the man brought up the name he had received in his dream once again.

"Ian Pendragon".

Upon hearing this, it was not Scáthach who was shocked, but the two Tohsaka sisters.

Rin Tohsaka was shocked because of the surname Pendragon.

That is a noble symbol consistent with the legendary King Arthur.

This means that the Ian summoned by his sister is very likely one of the Knights of the Round Table!

Rin Tohsaka felt even worse after realizing this.

after all--

If I could get the Knights of the Round Table as my servants, my chances of winning would definitely increase a lot!

On the other side, Sakura Tohsaka was also shocked by the surname Pendragon.

However, the reason for her shock stemmed from the "Legend of King Arthur" that her mother, Zenshiro Aoi, had told her when she was a child.

But unlike her sister...
