Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Chapter 596 Conversation in the Infirmary

"Julius, no wonder—! Hiss—!"

The intense pain made Rin Tohsaka gasp, but her arm didn't move at all, allowing Sakura Matou to easily apply the medicine.

"It's a pity I wasn't there at the time—"

Rin Tohsaka let out a sigh of regret, wishing she had been there at that time.

She certainly knew exactly how Julius cheated.

He even cast a magic spell on himself to prevent Julius from attacking him.

If Julius touches and teleports you there, you can quickly teleport back.

As a member of the resistance, Rin Tohsaka naturally knows her opponents, the brothers Julius and Leo, very well.

Especially Julius.

Unlike Leo, Julius was the captain of a private anti-terrorist unit established by Western European tycoons.

They have been secretly eliminating many assassins from opposing forces for a long time.

Such a powerful assassin has always been feared by the resistance organization.

It's just that he didn't appear on the battlefield for a long time afterward, or perhaps he was involved in assassinations.

According to reliable intelligence, it seems that his body had begun to break down due to excessive medication intake in early childhood, leaving him in a semi-dead state. He later underwent brain modification and was connected to Harvey's supercomputer.

Therefore, Julius used illegal means to lock up the multimedia classroom for his own use.

The multimedia classrooms in the academy are not just for playing videos.

It can play a real-time video of two Masters battling in the arena.

In other words, you can learn about the strength of other opponents through the multimedia classroom, and even learn the true names and Noble Phantasms of Servants.

Julius, through information obtained in the multimedia classroom, eliminated the threat threatening Leo with the Holy Grail.

He was able to use almost illegal means to directly teleport the Masters within the academy to an arena for Li Shuwen to eliminate.

Even Shirou Emiya didn't have time to react before the force of a punch pierced through his [Demon Possession] defense and struck his heart.

Not to mention the ordinary Masters, they were taken down before they even had a chance to use Command Seals.

The speed was so fast that even the Servants inside the academy didn't have time to react.

Rin Tohsaka didn't care whether Shirou Emiya would be noticed by Julius mainly because Shirou Emiya didn't have his own Servant, so logically he wouldn't be targeted by Julius.

Rin Tohsaka simply didn't know how Shirou Emiya fought, while Julius was able to see Shirou Emiya's battle scene clearly in the multimedia classroom.

With the power to confront and even defeat Servants head-on, Julius naturally sees Shirou Emiya as a threat.

Although Julius secretly murdered countless Masters.

But after each battle, the number of people was still only halved.

Julius had previously intended to take action against Gina, who possessed Karna.

He just hadn't been able to find Gina's location.

He later discovered that the creature had been staying in the warehouse without any intention of fighting, and hadn't even gone to the arena, so he didn't bother to attack it.

After all, it was a space with only one exit. Without Li Shuwen by his side, Karna would probably react quickly and kill him.

Private fights are prohibited within the academy, but that doesn't mean you can't actually fight.

If you're fast enough, you can take down your opponent before Mooncell can stop you, but you'll be punished very severely.

However, Gina would have been eliminated anyway for not collecting the key codes, so risking her life to get rid of her would be a huge loss.

"how about you?"

Emiya Shirou also spoke to Tohsaka Rin, who was behind the curtain, and asked her a question.

"I ran into Leo! Seriously, how unlucky are we to run into those two!"

Rin Tohsaka muttered indignantly, completely forgetting that it was actually she who had provoked Leo.

However, they will become rivals sooner or later, regardless of who provoked them.

However, even though he and Shirou Emiya were clearly his rivals, they ran into the two from the Harvey family before they even faced each other head-on.

What bad luck!

"Hmph! That person who's radiating golden light? I hate him too—!"

Shinji Matou, lying on the hospital bed next to him, also spoke up to express his disgust for him.

Shinji Matou disliked him from the moment he appeared in the classroom.

It wasn't for any other reason than that Leo's appearance immediately stole his thunder, and his polite attitude made him feel like he was punching cotton.

Even now, Shinji Matou seems to still be bothered by what happened in the fake school during the preliminaries.

"Is that the blond-haired boy?"

Meanwhile, Gina, who was on the other side of Matou Shinji, was also somewhat frightened and weakly uttered a soft sound.

The entire infirmary has only eight beds, and the four of them are now occupying half of them.

"That's right, it's him. I feel like punching his smiling face twice!"

With that, Shinji Matou waved his hand at the air in front of him, expressing his anger.

Although it was an anger that sounded childish.

"Are you alright now?"

Emiya Shirou's physical condition is much worse than Gina's, but he seems to have completely forgotten about himself and asks with great concern.

"No, it's nothing!"

Hearing Shirou Emiya's question about his injuries, Gina shook her head, somewhat at a loss, even though his condition was much worse than hers.

Gina is still a little dazed, but it's much better than the chaos in that dimly lit room. At least she can communicate normally like this now.

At that time, all she could see was the fear of death.

"Huh? Who is she? I seem to remember your opponent last time was someone dressed as a clown?"

After Matou Sakura finished bandaging him, Tohsaka Rin quickly dressed, lifted the curtain, and questioned Emiya Shirou.

She had absolutely no recollection of this Master who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It's not entirely Rin Tohsaka's fault; Gina is very good at protecting her online identity.

Even though she is number one in the world, almost no one knows her true identity, and she rarely interacts on those popular online communication platforms.

Not everyone is like Shinji Matou, who likes to show off, but he hides it very well. Almost no one would have guessed that the Asian gaming champion was a six-year-old child.

"Hello, my name is Gina, and I am a Master participating in the competition—"

Gina looked at Rin Tohsaka with a bewildered expression, tears welling up in her eyes.

When facing Rin Tohsaka, Gina was clearly not as composed as she was when she first spoke with Shirou Emiya or Shinji Matou.

Although Gina is a stay-at-home mom, she is already 29 years old and still has the composure that an adult should have.

Gina has seen plenty of people like Shinji Matou online; he's clearly a teenager addicted to the internet.

She was also a teenage girl addicted to the internet back then.

However, he hasn't kicked his internet addiction yet.

Although Gina is a complete shut-in and not good at communicating, just like Shinji Matou, the false memories provided by the qualifiers influenced her, making her less socially awkward than her real self.

Shirou Emiya has a rather gentle personality. In fact, if he didn't enjoy helping others and lending a helping hand, he would be just an ordinary high school student.

Unlike Rin Tohsaka, Gina felt the moment she saw her that if she were at school, she would definitely be a prominent figure, a very special person, whether it was her exquisite appearance or her unconventional personality.

Gina is a bit too much for her to handle.

Chapter 597 The True Wish

Time always flies.

The golden sun slowly sank below the horizon, disappearing into the thick clouds.

Only a crimson glow remained on the horizon.

A beam of light, like a jewel, pierced through the window and shone on a pure white sheet.

Bathed in the light of that gemstone, Gina, draped in a crimson cloak, sat on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the computer screen in front of her.

The once bustling infirmary has fallen silent.

All that could be heard was the soft breathing of the girl named Matou Sakura as she lay on the table.

And the sound of Gina constantly clicking the mouse.

Through the light, her brownish-yellow pupils trembled slightly beneath her glasses.

It wasn't tension, but rather a sense of relief and gratitude.

Faced with such a quiet environment, Gina was no longer as panicked as she had been at the beginning.

I don't know why, but despite being afraid of interacting with others, I find myself enjoying the process of being with them.

Isn't that strange?

Despite being a 29-year-old adult woman, she gets along with them so easily.

It was just an ordinary day that could be seen everywhere in school, but Gina treasured it and stored it in her memory.

Its value far exceeds even the various game records it set.

If I had been their classmate in high school, school life would have been so much fun.

This was the emotion that welled up in Gina's heart at that moment.

All three of them are mavericks who will not change their behavior because of the opinions of others.
