Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

But Toudou Touka's attack did not end; the lightning on his blade continued to flash, and several bolts of lightning were born once again, thrusting towards Emiya Shirou's position.

The speed of the lightning bolt goes without saying; it's a miracle that Shirou Emiya was able to barely dodge it.

Shirou Emiya could have dodged in advance by observing the enemy's moves.

However, Toudou Touka's attack speed is comparable to lightning, making it impossible to predict his attack location in advance.

With the combination of two extreme speeds, this attack is extremely threatening.

All the sword arrows that were shot back were easily deflected by Toudou Touka and flew into the distance.

Perhaps it was intuition, but Shirou Emiya felt that his thoughts had been read. All the sword arrows he had used as traps to create explosions were knocked to the edge of the arena, posing no threat whatsoever to Touka Toudou.

Emiya Shirou's judgment was correct; Toudou Touka could indeed see through Emiya Shirou's inner thoughts.

Because she can sense lightning, she can feel the electrical currents operating in Shirou Emiya's brain.

The neural signals of the brain are an undeniable reflection of one's true inner self.

Therefore, she can sense any trap immediately.

This ability to see into one's own heart is another of her unique sword-wielding techniques—the Flash Eye.

"boom----!"

Several more bolts of lightning struck, completely blocking the spot where he was about to dodge.

The distance that had been created by Thunder Breathing was rapidly reduced as he kept dodging.

It won't be long before Toudou Touka catches up.

The lightning she unleashed was never intended to defeat him, but rather to immobilize him, disrupt his movements, slow him down, and force him into close combat.

Whether the attack hits or not, it serves as a distraction.

However, even if you spot a trap, there's no way to avoid it.

"!"

Toudou Touka, who was about to catch up with Emiya Shirou, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

The chained short swords that had been knocked to the edge of the arena all shot toward her position at extremely high speed.

With her exceptional skill, she saw it—she saw the almost imperceptible silk thread.

"boom----!"

Without any hesitation, the moment he saw the silk threads, Toudou Touka's hand moved abruptly.

Lightning erupted from it, and those incredibly hard threads snapped as easily as ordinary threads.

But it was too late; the short swords flying from all directions had already landed beside her due to inertia.

"Fantasy collapse!"

"boom--!!!!!!!!!!"

Several evil spirits gathered together and exploded behind Shirou Emiya in an instant. Terrifying flames swept across everything at an incredibly fast speed, burning everything in their path.

At that very moment, a pillar of golden lightning erupted, shooting straight up to the ceiling of the arena.

"it's over?"

Emiya Shirou suddenly had a bad feeling.

"call--!"

A gust of wind blew away the black mist behind Shirou Emiya.

A strong sense of crisis also swept over him at that moment.

Shirou Emiya turned around without hesitation.

"!"

The scene before him truly surprised Shirou Emiya.

She was a woman whose entire body was soaked in blood, making it impossible to even make out her face.

No, it can't be said to be the whole body, only the whole body. If you want to know why, what's flying in the air is only the upper half of Toudou Touka's body.

He hadn't expected Toudou Touka to be so decisive. Although this was a fantasy form, his body would be fine no matter how serious the injury.

That's why Shirou Emiya dared to use [Fantasy Collapse].

The physical strength and defensive capabilities of a swordsman are unmatched by ordinary people. Even with such a close-range explosion, if Toudou Touka were to fight back with all his might, he would at most be seriously injured.

However, she definitely won't be able to get close to him again after that.

Unexpectedly, Toudou Touka made such a choice and a decision.

The silk threads she was tightly gripping disappeared, and she placed her hand on her sword.

"Raikiri!!!"

"Qiang————!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out in front of Emiya Shirou. To Toudou Touka's stunned gaze, the katana in her hand was knocked away the moment she swung it, just as it was about to strike Emiya Shirou.

Toudou Touka slowly raised his head, and in Emiya Shirou's hand, he held a katana exactly like his own.

"Rachel!"

The outcome was decided the moment [Evil Spirit Possession] exploded, but Toudou Touka was unwilling to accept that he would suffer the same fate as when he fought the Seven Star Sword King.

Chapter 314 Perhaps He Will Be Infamous

With the explosion of several [Evil Spirit Possessions], the entire arena was shrouded in smoke, making it difficult for ordinary people to see the scene inside through the thick smoke.

Everyone was waiting, waiting for the result, waiting for Shirou Emiya to be defeated.

"Raikiri?!"

"Why is he able to use it?"

The black-haired boy's eyes trembled; he couldn't understand why Shirou Emiya was able to unleash the Lightning Blade.

He could see through sword techniques immediately and learn them quickly, but he could never learn the [Raikiri].

It's not that this sword technique is particularly profound, but rather that it can only be performed by someone with the supernatural ability to control lightning.

Without the aid of such extraordinary abilities, it would be impossible to achieve such a sword-swinging speed.

"If it were you, could you defeat him?"

Shinomiya Kurono seemed to know the boy very well. Without exchanging pleasantries, she turned her head slightly and asked him a question.

"No, I'm afraid it's difficult. He even held back in his fight with Toudou Touka. That lightning-like power technique was not used with a bow, but with a sword."

As he spoke, a rumbling sound, like thunder, emanated from his lips.

With just a glance, and without even experiencing it firsthand, this man had already learned the breathing technique belonging to Emiya Shirou.

After all, breathing techniques have no barriers to entry; even an ordinary person can master them within a few months.

For those with exceptional talents, this breathing technique requires almost no words and can be learned in an instant.

"Moreover, his bow, in terms of both damage and speed, is far superior to Kirihara Shizuya's. Even if I activate the One-Sword Asura state, it would be difficult for me to withstand his shots."

The man was deep in thought. The speed of these arrows far exceeded his own, and he had no way to dodge them except by taking them head-on.

But if he tried to withstand it head-on, he wouldn't have the lightning-fast strikes of Dongtang Daohua, and he simply wouldn't be able to stop it.

Even without considering that Shirou Emiya controlled the explosion of those sword arrows, he already felt no hope of victory.

"is it?"

Shinomiya Kurono nodded. Even under such restrictions, Emiya Shirou's strength far exceeded B-rank and reached A-rank.

This A-rank is not like Stella Vermillion, the A-rank Blademaster freshman who just entered the academy this year, who was ranked A-rank only because of her own talent.

Her actual skill level is probably among the B-rank Blade Masters; at least, Toudou Touka wouldn't need to expend much effort to defeat her.

The power that Shirou Emiya is currently displaying has indeed reached the level of an A-rank knight.

After making arrangements for Shirou Emiya, Shinomiya Kurono thought about it and realized that Shirou Emiya's special ability didn't actually need to be hidden too much.

While being able to project and use another's abilities is indeed extraordinary, that's all. It might inspire envy and jealousy, but it won't arouse greed.

There are many other blade-wielders in this world who are concerned with cause and effect, and they also possess abilities that ordinary blade-wielders cannot resist.

But their abnormal abilities do not inspire greed.

Because of these powerful abilities, others cannot obtain them, and no matter how powerful they are, others cannot use them.

All she needs to do is keep in mind that what Shirou Emiya created can be preserved indefinitely and that others can also use these two things.

Aside from those two factors, Emiya Shirou's ability will not have a significant impact on the current situation.

This is one of the reasons why Shinomiya Kurono agreed to let Nishikyo Nene let Toudou Touka challenge Emiya Shirou.

The second reason was that she really wanted to see how strong this young man named Emiya Shirou was in combat. The reason he was ranked as an A-rank Bladebreaker in their minds was because he could use other people's abilities.

Just like Stella Vermillion, who possesses incredibly terrifying talent, he could reach the level of an A-rank Bladebreaker, but not now.

However, given Shirou Emiya's current performance, there's no need to say more.

The thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing the scene inside the arena. Shirou Emiya stood unharmed in the center, while in front of him was Touka Toudou, who had fallen into a coma.

"I declare! The victor is—the C-rank Blademaster, Emiya Shirou!!!!!!!!!"

At the referee's declaration, the entire audience erupted in cheers. Toudou Touka was not only the student council president but also the top student at Hagun Academy. He was just a freshman who had defeated the top student not long after enrolling.

This news was so explosive that they didn't know how to process it.

This is not like the A-rank knight who was defeated by the F-rank knight a few days ago.

First, there weren't many people present at that event. Second, everyone only knew that the newly enrolled A-rank knight was very strong, but they didn't really grasp just how strong he was.

Indeed, many people looked down on that A-rank Blade Breaker, because everyone knew that the Blade Breaker became an A-rank Blade Breaker through talent, not because of sufficient strength.

It's shocking that a legend you see every day was defeated, but it's even more surprising that an A-rank Blade Master you've only ever heard of was defeated.

There's probably no need for comparison.
