Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Page 225

Kirei Kotomine and Sakura were basically able to selectively ignore Shirou Emiya's peculiar magic.

Oh, Tohsaka can't ignore it for the time being, which is why she taught Shirou Emiya how to hide his magical power.

Despite the large number of people, few people were optimistic about Shirou Emiya, even though he was a C-rank Blade Breaker.

C-rank Blade Breakers are already above many Blade Breakers here. Although they are not as powerful as B-rank Blade Breakers, they are still very sought after, and major companies are vying to acquire them.

For example, Po Cheng Lei, who tested the new students in the arena, was only a C-rank Blade Master, but he was ranked fourth in the entire Po Jun Academy.

This is why, even though Shirou Emiya was interfering with them, the students didn't choose to challenge him to a duel, but instead reported it to the student council.

However, no one was optimistic about Emiya Shirou, after all, his opponent was Touka Toudou, the strongest in Hagun Academy and one of the top four in the previous national competition.

Her story is widely circulated among students, and she is respected by everyone.

However, Kagami Kusakabe took out a camera, ready to record the battle.

Emiya Shirou was handpicked by Saikyo Nene; how could he be as simple as those people imagine?

"Everyone is in your place!"

In the very center of the arena, a female student was gesturing and giving instructions to the two athletes beside her.

"Both sides, please activate your unique Spirit Armor in <Illusionary Form>!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Toudou Touka and Emiya Shirou stepped into the battle circle at the same time, about 20 meters apart.

Although Shirou Emiya does not have a unique Spirit Gear, for some reason, after analyzing his unique Spirit Gear, Shirou Emiya knew how to enter that form.

Meanwhile, in the audience.

"Hey, Kuro, do you think Shirou Emiya can beat Touka?"

At some point, the chairman sat down next to Nishikyo Ningyin, crossed one leg over the other, and watched the two in the arena intently.

"If we're talking about his current level, there's no way he could defeat Toudou Touka, whether it's physical strength or skill."

"But you don't know what else he's hiding, do you?"

Nishikyo Ningyin covered her lips with a folding fan, revealing a slight smile.

In the past few days, the chairperson couldn't have simply fabricated an identity for Emiya Shirou; she also spent a lot of time searching for his past.

She doesn't believe that in today's society, there can be someone who leaves no trace whatsoever.

But the computer's facial recognition and DNA comparison definitively told her that Emiya Shirou had indeed appeared out of thin air.

If that's really the case, then what gave Shirou Emiya his confidence back then?

She knew very well that Shirou Emiya had his confidence before he discovered his own projection and mastered their weapons.

If he can be so confident, then he must have his own trump cards if he doesn't have an extremely powerful background.

This trump card could even escape when he and Xijing Ningyin were suppressing it together.

She could sense that Shirou Emiya showed no signs of panic even when he was being suppressed by gravity.

Shinguji Kurono is extremely worried about Emiya Shirou.

"you know?"

Nishikyo Ningon didn't say "we don't know," but rather that Shinguji Kurono didn't know.

"I don't care about this anymore. If you spend some time with him, you'll find he's a really interesting kid."

Nishikyo Nene smiled slightly; she had already let down her guard against Emiya Shirou.

"Eh, whatever you say, but Emiya Shirou is an unidentified person. No matter what, we have to investigate what needs to be investigated."

Shinguji Kurono didn't say anything about her thoughts, but silently continued to observe the situation on the field.

"Zheng——!"

Golden lightning bolts shot from her hands as she gradually spread them outwards from the center.

An extremely ordinary samurai sword appeared in her hand, which she then quickly grasped.

In reality, even disregarding the Bladebreaker's projection ability, Shirou Emiya had the upper hand in the fight against the Bladebreaker.

Blade-wielders usually possess a variety of supernatural abilities, much like a lucky chest in Minecraft. You won't know what surprising things will pop out until you open it.

However, Shirou Emiya was able to clearly understand what abilities the Blademasters possessed the moment he saw them take out their unique Spirit Armor.

"Do you control lightning?"

Shirou Emiya murmured softly, and a simple, unadorned brown longbow appeared in his hand.

"Ranged attack? No wonder my senior sister told me to choose to fight him."

As the top student at Hagun Academy, her signature sword technique, "Raikiri," is a super electromagnetic sword-drawing technique that uses electromagnetic force to unleash the sword from its sheath in one go.

Such a masterful swordsmanship technique is virtually invincible within the crossing distance.

Even though he lost to the current "Seven Star Sword King" Moroboshi Yuta, it wasn't because of close-range combat, but because Moroboshi kept his distance, preventing Moroboshi's ultimate technique, "Raikiri," from being effectively used.

In other words, even the Seven Star Sword King was afraid of her ultimate sword-slaying technique.

However, her weakness is also very clear: if she is out of range, she will not be able to effectively unleash the power of [Raikiri].

Her greatest weakness is her ability to attack from a distance.

If she doesn't overcome this weakness, she will be defeated again when she faces the Seven Star Sword King, Moroboshi Yudai, just like before.

Currently, there are practically no beings in the Pojun Academy who possess ranged attack capabilities and can avoid close combat.

Chapter 313 Suppression

A gentle breeze blew through the indoor space.

As if sensing the fighting spirit between the two, the air currents inside the entire arena began to surge.

Without any instructions, the air froze the moment their eyes met.

"boom--!"

Golden lightning erupted around Toudou Touka. She gripped her katana tightly, stomped her feet on the ground, and her figure transformed into a phantom as she shot towards Emiya Shirou's location.

A deafening roar of thunder echoed throughout the entire arena at that moment.

"There were two thunderous sounds!"

He was a well-proportioned young man, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. He had black hair and black eyes, typical of East Asians, and his facial features were very soft. His eyes were also gentle, but he had a sharp and capable aura about him.

He stood beside Shinomiya Kurono, his brows furrowed, looking down at the arena below.

"Sword Breathing: Lightning Form - Lightning Flash!"

There's no need for projection; this is a skill Shirou Emiya already possesses. Even while using a bow, he can still perform it.

With a breath accompanied by thunder, Shirou Emiya's figure suddenly vanished.

Several sword arrows with chains, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, tore through the air and shot towards Toudou Touka's location.

"boom----!"

A thick, golden bolt of lightning erupted from Dongtang Daohua's blade, seemingly piercing through the air. With a speed so fast it was invisible to the naked eye, it deflected all the sword arrows.

Under the immense force, the chained short swords were violently knocked away and crashed heavily to the ground.

In the original story, during the battle between Toudou Touka and Kurogane Shizuku, Kurogane Shizuku, whose physical strength was only E, was able to create distance between herself and Toudou Touka within a short distance of twenty meters and try to restrict her and counterattack in various ways.

Compared to Ikki Kurogane, her movement speed is not fast.

Toudou Touka's lightning wasn't moving, but rather swinging his sword.

【Raikiri】As its name suggests, her slash is fast enough to cut through lightning, but it can only unleash its full power at close range.

Just like how Arthur, despite not having the terrifying speed of Achilles, was still able to suppress him in close combat.

Unless they reach lightning speed, they will all be cut down by Toudou Touka's [Raikiri].

As a lightning-wielding ability user, Toudou Touka's lightning does not affect herself but is entirely directed at external objects, which is why she is not fast.

Although Shirou Emiya was unaware that Touka Toudou possessed such a unique skill, he was currently likely an archer.

How can archers fight in melee?

Unless absolutely necessary.

If a battle can be resolved remotely, then try to resolve it remotely.

"boom--!"

"!"

It was an incredibly strong sense of crisis, and Shirou Emiya turned his head away without the slightest hesitation.

The lightning grazed Shirou Emiya's cheek, releasing an intoxicatingly fragrant aroma.

The part of Shirou Emiya's face that was grazed by the lightning was instantly charred black.

If it had been any later, Shirou Emiya's head would have been pierced by that lightning.

"Is this your progress, Dao Hua?"

Nishikyo Ningyin also watched with interest as the lightning suddenly erupted from Todo Toka's sword wound.

"Increasing the ranged attack methods to make it difficult for the enemy to create distance is indeed a good idea."

After that defeat, Toudou Touka naturally understood his weakness very clearly. Like many swordsmen, he would have some difficulty facing ranged enemies and it was difficult for him to get close to them.

It's impossible that she hasn't made any progress after so much time has passed.

Controlling lightning for ranged attacks also demonstrates her deeper mastery of her supernatural abilities.

"boom----!"
