Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Otherwise, one item must be projected.

"Over here—!"

Kusakabe Kagami didn't completely believe Emiya Shirou's story. If Emiya Shirou were truly a dual-ability user, he certainly wouldn't have told her so easily.

However, since Shirou Emiya wanted to go to the arena, the student council happened to rent a venue to test the new students who had passed the interview and joined the student council because they were recruiting.

From the student union's perspective, the most important criterion for recruiting someone is character, followed by competence, and then ability.

Therefore, they did not select new students for the student council based on merit, but instead conducted a unified test after recruiting all the students.

Some people join the student council to improve their own abilities, while others genuinely intend to contribute to the school.

However, regardless of the method, the student council intends to give the new students a little reward and some experience.

A blade-wielder's ability level doesn't represent everything; experience is also a very important factor.

Chapter 311 Xijing Ningyin's Arrangements

"Next!"

As Shirou Emiya walked into the arena's stands, a burly-looking man with a buzz cut, standing in the center of the arena, holding a cleaver, shouted loudly at the surrounding audience.

At this moment, a young man sitting in the audience walked towards the stairwell on the side with some fear.

Before long, they arrived at the center of the arena.

The screens across the arena quickly changed to an image of the crew-cut man fighting the young man.

It looks quite intelligent.

However, the arena looked very empty, with students' seats scattered around, giving the impression that there were very few people.

However, considering that the school's arena can accommodate hundreds of people, although there are many empty seats, there are actually quite a few students watching the student council's battles here.

Those who can become top members of the student council are generally not weak; their character, work ability, and strength are all of a very high standard.

Of course, there are still some people with special abilities who are not suitable for combat within the top echelons of the student council.

The most important thing for a student council is to solve problems for students in the school. Strength is extremely important, but it is not necessary to reach an exceptional level.

Those who want to become stronger, or those who enjoy watching exciting battles, will naturally come here to observe.

The student council is quite famous.

"he is?"

"His name is Ruined City Thunder, the student council secretary, and he's known as the Citybreaker. He can increase the weight of his unique spirit weapon, the Zanpakuto, by rotating it, making his slashes incredibly powerful."

"It is called the city-breaking ship because its terrifying weight can easily shatter a city wall, just like a ship that can shatter city walls."

As the founder of the student newspaper within the entire Hagun Academy, Kusakabe Kagami's intelligence network is arguably the most comprehensive.

She can answer almost any question about the academy that comes to mind; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a walking encyclopedia.

At the very moment that Kusakabe Kagami explained, the entire arena trembled.

"boom--!"

A tremendous crash echoed throughout the arena.

Looking towards the arena, one could see the incredibly heavy-looking sword embedded in the ground, with countless cracks appearing where it was inserted.

In front of him was a young man who had already lost consciousness.

The gap in ability between freshmen and seniors is still too large.

However, the purpose of the man with the buzz cut was to prevent the new students who joined the student council from becoming arrogant and complacent, and to make them face reality.

Although the student council mainly consists of only a few people, it still has various subordinate organizations.

Otherwise, it would be a bit too much to manage and solve problems in such a large school with only six or seven students in the student council.

Therefore, the student union delegates many tasks to its subordinate student unions, rather than doing everything itself.

Of course, if they don't have anything very important to do, they'll be happy to work with those members.

Just like this task of guiding new students, everyone in the student council was involved.

"If it were a little faster, it might be even stronger."

Emiya Shirou muttered to himself, "No matter how powerful the attack is, it's meaningless if it can't hit anyone."

Although its power is incredibly strong, it would probably be ineffective against fast-moving enemies.

The area of ​​effect it deals damage is small, and its movement and attack speeds are very slow. If these aspects could be optimized, it would be extremely powerful.

"Emiya-kun's words are spot on. I also suggested to him that he should improve his speed."

A familiar voice appeared beside Shirou Emiya; it was Touka Toudou, the student council president he had encountered before.

"Hey, yeah, yeah, president, what are you doing here!"

Kusakabe Kagami seemed a little flustered, not because she was afraid of the student council president, but because as the top student in the entire Hagun Academy, the student council president naturally commanded respect from all the students.

"Since this is a test of the new students' abilities, I will naturally be here to watch."

Toudou Touka smiled slightly. As the student council president, she naturally took these matters very seriously.

"The last freshman will finish his test soon, but there's still a long time before noon."

Her intentions are now very clear.

Even Kusakabe Kagami, who was standing to the side, understood the implication in her words.

"Duel?"

Kusakabe Kagami's eyes turned into stars. Someone who could get the student council president to issue a duel invitation is definitely not just a C-rank swordsman.

Even if Emiya Shirou was just an ordinary C-rank Blade Master, being able to witness Toudou Touka's fighting prowess up close was enough to excite her.

Can I ask why?

Emiya Shirou did not understand why Toudou Touka would challenge him to a duel.

"It was my senior sister who wanted me to test your strength."

Dongtang Daohua's expression remained unchanged as he calmly explained.

"May I ask, student council president, who is your senior?"

"Xijing Ningyin"

As he said this, Shirou Emiya felt a gaze coming from somewhere.

In a spot at the far end of the arena, a girl in a kimono was waving in his direction while holding a folding fan.

They seemed completely unconcerned about being discovered.

Because of his recent troubles, Shirou Emiya has spent a lot of time with her these past few days. Nene Nishikyo is considered one of Shirou Emiya's more familiar friends in this world.

Moreover, it seems that Nishikyo Ningyin already understands what kind of personality she has, and she likes to tease herself.

Sometimes, when I'm walking down the street and swinging my arms back and forth, I suddenly feel a strong force pulling at the skirt of a female student who is walking normally next to me.

Otherwise, Shirou Emiya wouldn't have thought of going to Nene Nishikyo after class to use her ability to train him with gravity.

During the time they spent together, Shirou Emiya had already tried training under gravity. The results were excellent, leading to a noticeable improvement.

Although this so-called obvious improvement was not very significant, it did not allow Shirou Emiya's physical abilities to increase rapidly.

But Shirou Emiya was already very happy that it was effective.

Given Shirou Emiya's current physical condition, it's practically impossible for him to improve further with ordinary training.

This is why he didn't exercise much when he returned to Fuyuki City; now Shirou Emiya can run a lap around Fuyuki City without getting out of breath.

Regular exercise would need to last at least 4-5 hours to be effective for Emiya Shirou.

Such training is a waste of time. Emiya Shirou had also thought about the weight-bearing, but even if his legs were fully strapped with weights, he could still walk briskly.

"Ding--!"

Just as Shirou Emiya was covering his forehead, a voice came from the arena.

As the crew-cut man prepared to leave, two icons appeared on the screen above the arena.

"It seems that Senior Sister has already made the arrangements for us."

Toudou Touka adjusted his glasses slightly, stood up from his seat, and walked towards the arena.

Chapter 312 The Man Who Angers the Public—Emiya Shirou

Emiya Shirou sighed helplessly and followed Toudou Touka downstairs.

"Huh? Did the president have any battles with the freshmen today? Wasn't the Battle City Ship enough to crush those freshmen?"

"Who's that on the other side, Ga? A C-rank knight, he can't be weak. His total magic power has already reached B-rank."

"His D-rank attack and D-rank defense are probably only impressive in terms of magic power. But it's strange, why am I so concerned about his magic power when there's nothing special about it."

"Ah, it's that bastard!"

"Is the student council finally going to punish this devil? My black stockings!"

"What happened? Tell me in detail—"

"I didn't listen to anything in class today, it's all because of this person."

"I really wanted to relax by learning some advanced mathematics in this chaotic world, but he ruined it all."

"If he weren't a C-rank Blade Master, I would have already made my move."

Emiya Shirou's appearance immediately sparked whispers among the students in the arena.

Although Shirou Emiya has only been here for a few days, he has already become a celebrity, with almost half of the students having been disturbed by his magic.

Only those with strong willpower can ignore the strange, captivating magic emanating from Shirou Emiya.

For example, characters like Toudou Touka and Nishikyo Nene are able to ignore the allure of Emiya Shirou's magic and focus intently on something.
