Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

At that time, Shana and Alastor were frantically pouring their power into her so that she could perceive it.

But for some reason, despite the unusual nature of his own magical fluctuations, the person in front of him who could use magic did not show any surprise.

However, Shirou Emiya was not surprised that Shirayuki Hoshiga used magic to perform divination, since she had said that it was a divination spell, which naturally required some kind of energy.

I just didn't expect it to be magic.

"Whoosh—!"

Soon, Hoshiga Shirayuki firmly grasped the three blank cards and looked at Emiya Shirou with an extremely serious expression.

At this moment, everyone was highly focused, their attention entirely on the three cards in Xingjia Baixue's hand.

"How strange, so very strange?"

Xingjia Baixue stared intently at the three cards in her hand.

Looking quite bewildered, he slowly placed the first card on the table under everyone's gaze.

On that card was a sword, a shattered sword, held tightly in a hand, stuck firmly into the cliff.

It is quite obvious that it was because of this sword that the owner of that hand did not fall off the cliff.

Emiya Shirou looked at Hoshiga Shirayuki with a puzzled expression, not understanding what this meant.

Xingjia Baixue slowly began to explain.

"These are cards that represent your past."

"No matter how damaged that sword was, or even if it was about to break in the next second, it remained firmly stuck on the cliff, not moving an inch, completely unconcerned about whether it would break in the next second."

"In a self-sacrificing manner, to ensure that the owner of that arm does not fall."

Emiya Shirou remained silent, while the people outside the interrogation room gestured for Hoshiga Shirayuki to continue.

The second card was also placed on the table.

It was a road covered by countless sword arrows, flames, and blood.

The path was covered with thorns, yet only a small black figure walked alone on it.

Almost everyone understood the message this card was trying to convey.

This card represents your current card.

"This is a trial; you seem to be going through some kind of self-discipline."

Xingjia Baixue didn't say much either; the meaning conveyed by this card was extremely clear.

Even she, who uses divination, overlooked the fact that the card had irregular cracks and extremely faint, layered pale colors that were covered by darker shades.

They also overlooked the extremely faint blue light emanating from the very center of that little figure.

The second card may contain the most information of the three cards, but it is hidden very deeply and is difficult to discern from the image.

It is not simply a path of trials.

"And the third card is the strangest card, one that I simply cannot believe."

"The future is uncertain, and prophecy can only predict one or a few of the most likely possibilities among the various possibilities of the future."

"Divination is even more so; it is only a rough prediction."

Hoshiga Shirayuki stared intently at Emiya Shirou, speaking as she slowly placed the third card in her hand onto the table.

"No one can be certain about the future or what will happen in the next second, but for some reason, the future I divine for you is fixed and cannot be changed in the slightest."

Chapter 384 S-Rank

"The quality of this school uniform—"

Emiya Shirou touched the uniform he was wearing, feeling somewhat sentimental.

After becoming a student at Hagun Academy, Shirou Emiya became a member of Tokyo Butei High School.

Even though he hadn't spent much time at his own school, Homurahara Academy, he ended up attending school in another world.

This made Shirou Emiya feel somewhat ashamed.

After the interrogation ended, Shirou Emiya's case was naturally reported, and the Tokyo Butei High School did not hide it.

Hiding Shirou Emiya's existence would not benefit Tokyo Butei High School at all.

They are just ordinary high schools, with the aim of cultivating more talents.

It doesn't have a competition system like Hagun Academy to fight for resources for the school.

Although they were no longer as hostile to Shirou Emiya after Hoshiga Shirayuki's divination, the necessary procedures still had to be followed.

After the Tokyo Armed Detective High School reported the matter, the higher-ups seemed unconcerned and assigned Shirou Emiya to the Tokyo Armed Detective High School, instructing them to monitor him.

After all, given the strength that Shirou Emiya has shown so far, he is just a highly talented student to them, and he poses no threat whatsoever.

Simply put, they don't care.

So, after much discussion, Shirou Emiya became a freshman in the Strike Department.

This wasn't just an arrangement made by the teachers.

They had communicated with Shirou Emiya and sought his opinion.

In fact, for Shirou Emiya, only the Assault Department was an option for him to join.

He knew very well that he could only stay in this world for a few months, and that choosing subjects that required constantly acquiring knowledge and using the brain at high speed, as well as some auxiliary subjects, would hardly be effective.

Shirou Emiya is currently at the bottom of the class at Homurahara Academy High School. He hasn't even mastered the basic knowledge of academic subjects. How could Shirou Emiya dare to aspire to more complex knowledge?

He still chose a subject related to combat, partly because combat is indeed what Emiya Shirou is best at right now.

On the other hand, he wanted to learn about firearms.

Although with his current combat capabilities, the firepower produced by firearms is simply unmatched.

But Shirou Emiya was still very interested.

Moreover, he also possesses a [Romantic Turret], which he rarely has the opportunity to use.

After all, this weapon can only be unleashed under extremely dangerous circumstances and intense mental pressure.

Most of the times Shirou Emiya is in danger are during close combat.

It's unlikely that there will be an opportunity to use this weapon.

Just like the students and teachers at Tokyo Butei High School who can easily dodge gun attacks.

It's not that they're faster than bullets, it's just that they're faster than the enemy's gun barrels.

The same logic applies to Shirou Emiya not using this weapon in close combat; in such a critical situation, his own attacks could probably be easily dodged.

The Romantic Turret is not a small pistol; it is quite large and difficult to hit if you pay attention.

In addition, Shirou Emiya's use of firearms is indeed not as good as his archery skills.

Although he can read Mine's techniques to shoot, overall it is not as good as using bows directly.

Without the threat of death, the projected "Romantic Turret" could not match the power of the sword arrows fired by Shirou Emiya.

Not to mention that Shirou Emiya can also fire the Spiral Sword, which can cause extremely terrifying explosions.

If the projected [Romantic Turret] were to reach this level, Shirou Emiya could hardly imagine what kind of crisis would allow it to unleash such terrifying power.

Under the warm sunlight, men and women in school uniforms passed by Shirou Emiya.

One after another, pink cherry blossom trees lined both sides of the campus road, their petals slowly drifting down from the sky with the gentle breeze.

Emiya Shirou couldn't help but sigh.

The last time I saw roadsides lined with such brightly colored flower petals was when I was on my way to the Demon Slayer Corps selection.

I don't know what happened to the people I met afterward, or whether those man-eating demons were all eliminated.

"The assault department's ranking has been released. I wonder if there will be any S-rank armed detectives among this year's freshmen."

Beside Shirou Emiya, those people were chatting and laughing.

"I don't think so. I went to watch the freshman assessment, and the battles were much worse than last year's. I almost fell asleep while watching it."

Some of them answered while yawning, seemingly quite dissatisfied with the assault department's rating that day.

"Indeed, S-class armed detective is not something that can be achieved so easily."

The other person nodded thoughtfully.

"It's a pity. I missed last year's S-class armed detective assessment. I came to watch the newcomers' battles because I thought this year would be even more exciting, but it was boring at all. I would have been better off taking on more missions and practicing my shooting skills."

However, there were some exciting battles as well.

However, when it comes to the assessment of new students, those who come from Wuzhen Junior High School are naturally more outstanding than those who come from ordinary junior high schools.

In the entrance examination for new students in the assault department, those who came from regular high schools were the first to be eliminated.

Secondly, there are those who normally graduated from the Military Detective Junior High School.

After all, many of them are descendants of famous celebrities or were raised by their families.

Overall, there was nothing particularly outstanding about him, unlike last year when a seemingly ordinary person single-handedly defeated everyone and became the only person to be rated as an S-class armed detective.

That battle was textbook-perfect, so exciting that even Lan Bao couldn't help but applaud.

"is it?"

The student who hadn't been able to check the results due to other commitments nodded thoughtfully. He had initially regretted not having seen the freshmen's assessment.

Emiya Shirou listened to their conversation all the way to the location of the Strike Academy's teaching building.

This place is like a large training ground. After all, as the only combat academy in the entire school, it naturally occupies the largest area in the entire academy.

That vast area of ​​abandoned streets also belongs to the Assault Academy.

As for the Assault Department, it's located in a deeper section. After all, the Assault Department is divided into the Assault Department and the Sniper Department, and Shirou Emiya chose the Assault Department, not the Sniper Department.

At the entrance of the assault school, a large number of students gathered, watching the rankings displayed on the screen.

Everyone rubbed their eyes in disbelief, their faces filled with utter disbelief.
