Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Lucky: B

Noble Phantasm: C (EX)

Such ability parameters are already quite low for the Saber class, not to mention that this Servant is the extremely famous King Arthur.

Judging solely from his fame, King Arthur's abilities shouldn't be so high.

Suddenly, Danic seemed to remember something and slightly raised his head to look at Shirou Emiya, who was being helped up by Arthur.

"Magic?"

As an outsider, Shirou Emiya did not enjoy the same treatment as the other Masters of the Yggdrasilia clan.

It's important to understand that the magical energy provided to those Servants is not from the Masters, but from the androids they create.

For their Servants, all their stats are basically at their best.

The level of magic power also affects the Servant's ability stats.

Danic is one of only two people who have explored the magic circuits within him in Yggdrasil.

He knew very well that although Shirou Emiya had 27 magic circuits in his body, most of them were completely inactive.

And it is unknown how he trained his magic circuits, according to Avisbro.

The boy's circuits have a high load capacity, but cannot continuously supply a large amount of magic.

This means that it can withstand the use of large-scale magic, and even if magic power is forcibly absorbed, it is difficult to burn its own magic circuits.

In short, Emiya's magic circuits are like reinforced water pipes, extremely durable.

Of course, Danic didn't tell Shirou Emiya any of this, since he wasn't a magician of his own clan.

Upon realizing this, Danic immediately nodded in relief, understanding why Shirou Emiya's Servant attribute values ​​were so low.

"For Servants, stat numbers don't represent everything."

Arthur shook his head, completely ignoring the man's doubts, and straightened his posture, facing his Master with the most direct attitude.

He knew perfectly well why his stats were so low, but he wouldn't blame his Master for it.

"But--!"

He seemed about to say something, not because he didn't believe the knight in front of him, who was shining with an extremely dazzling light, was King Arthur.

Rather, they couldn't believe that a foreign magician could summon such a powerful heroic spirit as King Arthur without using any medium.

He couldn't believe that a proper magician like himself was worse than that mediocre one.

But before he could finish speaking, the white-haired man beside him, clad in armor with an open chest emitting a faint glow, stepped forward and blocked his master's path.

"You have the aura of a dragon. Legend has it that King Arthur possessed the blood of a red dragon. I believe you are the legendary King of Knights."

His tone was extremely calm, and he affirmed the identity of the Saber before him.

"Thank you, unknown Saber."

Arthur also responded by affirming his own identity, even though he didn't need the approval of others.

Because he was Arthur.

"Humph!"

The blond, somewhat overweight man let out a sigh, seemingly very dissatisfied with his servant's behavior.

"He's just a Servant of one generation."

He muttered to himself, abandoning his doubts about Shirou Emiya's status as a Servant.

"Welcome to Romania, Your Majesty from afar!"

The white-haired man beside Danic was imposing, extending his hand in a gesture of respect.

Arthur responded quickly.

How could he not understand the meaning behind this man's words?

A faction does not need two commanders.

He understood this principle very well.

This is his country, his territory.

He could treat me with the same courtesy one would show to the king of another country, provided that I did not interfere with his decisions.

"I will follow Master's instructions."

Arthur leaned slightly towards him, responding to his respect.

"is it?"

He nodded and returned to his seat.

Arthur left the center of the hall and led Shirou Emiya, who was somewhat dazed, to the side.

Next came the Romanian king's invitation to the heroic spirits.

The Masters returned to the center of the hall once more, kneeling on the ground alongside their Servants.

"You are the most outstanding generals I have ever had in my entire life."

"My heroic spirits."

Are you all willing to win this war for me?

This invitation came from the king of Romania.

They only gave one answer to this.

"Our swords are your swords!"

They declared this, and the whole scene was filled with a powerful and surging atmosphere.

All the heroic spirits held the belief that victory was inevitable.

Of course, neither Arthur, the King of Knights, nor his Master, Shirou Emiya, were among them.

On one hand, Arthur, as a king, is an equal to him and it is impossible for him to be loyal to him. On the other hand, Emiya is not a member of the Darnic family and would not have the idea of ​​serving him.

“Well then, since that knight over there has revealed his real name, let’s get to know each other. My name is Astolfo, one of Charlemagne’s twelve warriors.”

A woman with short pink hair and a cloak stood out and faced the summoned Servants around her.

While they were talking, Emiya was also talking to Arthur.

"Saber? May I call you that?"

Emiya Shirou looked at the knight with dazzling golden hair in front of him, somewhat reserved, and asked him a question.

He didn't know what the best way to address him was, and calling him Arthur directly sounded very impolite.

“Master, there’s no need to be so formal. Just call me Saber.”

Arthur didn't pay much attention to the form of address; he smiled slightly as he comforted Emiya.

"After all, my fame is quite widespread. In the Holy Grail War, Masters usually refer to Servants by their class name rather than their real name."

This was Emiya's first time participating in something called the Holy Grail War, and he didn't know how to get along with these ancient Heroic Spirits.

He had only heard a little about the legends of these heroic spirits, but had not learned much about them.

For example, Shirou Emiya had never heard of Astolfo, who just stepped forward.

"Hey! Hey! You white-haired Master over there."

Seemingly sensing that Emiya didn't recognize him at all, he ran towards Emiya with great joy.

Chapter 113 The Overly Familiar Rider

Emiya looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person dressed in magnificent clothes with a long sword at their waist.

A very cute-looking girl waved and jogged over.

It seems to be the Servant who just revealed his true name—Astolfo.

"I just heard from my Master that you survived the Lancer's attack while still in human form!"

His eyes sparkled like stars as he stared intently at Shirou Emiya, as if he were looking at some kind of treasure.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Emiya took a small step back; he wasn't good at dealing with people who were so overly familiar with him.

Moreover, Emiya had absolutely no idea what the extremely cute-looking girl in front of him was after.

Even a normal person wouldn't approach a stranger so easily.

Emiya looked behind him and, sure enough, the magicians were glancing cautiously in his direction as they were talking.

Astolfo's Master gritted his teeth and stared intently at Shirou Emiya with a murderous gaze, making Shirou feel uneasy.

"They all refuse to reveal their real names, it's so boring. So when I heard you survived Lancer, I came over to find out how you did it."

Although they were exchanging information about their Servants and their next plans.

But it seemed as if he had some concerns and was unwilling to reveal many important things.

Emiya Shirou and Arthur quickly realized why, even though they were on the same side, they were unwilling to reveal their real names to each other.

It wasn't because they suspected each other and each had their own methods to deal with individual battles after the faction war.

Rather, they were wary of someone present. No matter what, Emiya was never one of them, and none of the Masters were willing to reveal their Servant's true name in front of Emiya.

They couldn't entrust their backs to such a sudden outsider.

Moreover, the Servant is an outsider from the [Red] faction.

After all, the Black Saber has already been summoned, so isn't it obvious that the second Saber that appears can only be a Servant from the Red side?

Emiya knew that he was not one of them, so he could understand why they were unwilling to reveal their names to each other.

Arthur, on the other hand, reasoned very simply, since Emiya's clothing was completely different from that of the other Masters.

It is easy to deduce that one's master does not belong to their inner circle.
