His concern was that if the other party revealed these things, it would attract the attention of the Magic Association.

Those magicians aren't as easy to talk to as Shirou; they might even take action against him to maintain the stability of the rules.

Although he has also embarked on the path of magic, Shirou is fundamentally different from those magicians.

His values ​​were not formed from the rules of the magic world he learned from childhood, but rather from universal values ​​that he had already perfected in his previous life.

Therefore, when facing ordinary people, we should be able to put ourselves in their shoes, instead of being arrogant and condescending like magicians.

"We'll have to see how things go. Let's go back to the classroom first..."

Shirou put the black ribbon in his pocket, then left the rooftop and returned down the stairs.

All the way, he observed the noisy students in the corridor, trying to find the guy who was spying on him.

If someone is tying their hair with a bow, then it must be a girl, right?

Unfortunately, Shirou didn't find the girl who seemed to be spying on him from the rooftop until he returned to the back door of the classroom.

"Never mind, I'd better think about what to eat tonight."

Shirou murmured to himself as he reached out and opened the back door of the classroom.

Shirou pulled open the wooden door, which bore the marks of time, from the outside.

Sizzle

After entering the classroom, Shirou turned around to close the back door.

Just then, his gaze met a pair of blue-green eyes.

"You... are a magician, right?"

Chapter Twenty: Rin's Gaze

The girl had smooth black hair, with only one side tied with a black bow.

On the other side, it was slightly disheveled, as if telling the story of the haste just now.

Without a doubt, the person Shirou is looking for is her.

But just when he was about to give up the search, the other party took the initiative to contact him.

"..."

Shirou's breathing paused slightly.

It wasn't because of the girl's confident words.

It was because of the girl's familiar face.

Her quiet and lovely face was full of a serious expression.

The slightly raised eyebrows seemed to indicate that the girl was feeling joyful at that moment.

Because of the girl's appearance, the students in the classroom behind Shirou immediately turned their attention to him.

"Hey! Isn't that girl Tohsaka from Class 3? Chiki actually knows her!"

"Did you see that? That cold, aloof young lady is actually so close to Qianhui!"

"Could it be that they're a couple?!"

"She just mentioned 'magician' or something, right? Could it be that Chiki used magic to win Tohsaka's favor!?"

"Have they gotten that close already? They even came looking for each other!"

"What exactly happened between them? I'm so curious!!"

In this island nation where relationships between men and women are very open, even elementary school students are quite interested in things like dating.

So naturally, they immediately started gossiping and arguing.

Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka also became a little anxious.

"It's not what you think!"

Her rebuttal was easily drowned out by the noise of the other students in the classroom, like a stone sinking into the sea.

The girl's cheeks gradually flushed red amidst the waves of teasing.

Her large, bright green eyes were misty with tears, and her expression of clenching her teeth was incredibly cute.

At that moment, Shirou's voice reached Rin's ears.

"Come with me."

“€€……?”

Before Rin could understand what that meant, she felt her hand being grabbed by the other person.

Then, completely bewildered, she was led away quickly.

They left the noisy classroom and climbed the stairs to the rooftop.

The surroundings finally quieted down, with only the occasional whistling wind passing by.

"Um... I'm sorry..."

Rin lowered her head and said apologetically.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a magician my own age."

"I was so excited that I forgot the rules that magicians should follow and revealed your identity..."

Rin Tohsaka was influenced by her father from a young age, so she naturally had some knowledge of the magic world.

But ultimately, I'm still too young to have considered everything thoroughly.

At noon, Rin happened to see Shirou walking alone to the rooftop.

She suddenly recalled the scene of the other person and Qinyin coming to elementary school together that morning.

This aroused Rin's curiosity, so she secretly followed him.

Rin originally only intended to take a quick look at what Shirou was doing on the rooftop and then leave.

However, they unexpectedly witnessed Shirou using the "projection" magic.

'That person is using projection magic...?'

Rin was only surprised at the time.

Rin naturally knew about basic magic like "projection".

But she didn't put in the effort to learn it.

For Rin, who comes from a family of mages, learning such low-level magic is meaningless.

However, what the boy did behind the rooftop made Rin's eyes widen on the spot.

'You're kidding, right...'

A storm raged within her.

If it were just a few swords being "projected," it wouldn't have been a big deal.

But to "project" hundreds of swords of Noble Phantasm quality in succession is simply too extraordinary!

Even if Rin is very young, she is still a descendant of a family of magicians.

How could one not see the high quality of those Noble Phantasms?

It is far superior to those ordinary, fragile imitations that are as fragile as glass.

Especially at this age, even Rin wouldn't dare say she has that much magic power.

No, in fact, many adult magicians cannot do this without the help of external forces.

Rin didn't see Shirou use any magical energy storage devices, and at his age, it was impossible for him to inherit the family's magical crest.

Therefore, Rin was extremely surprised when she deduced that Shirou had accomplished this entirely through his own magical power.

Seeing that scene, Rin couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

They were afraid of being discovered as a spy.

Rin, in that state, was immediately noticed by Shirou.

It made a slight noise unintentionally.

When Rin realized that Shirou was about to catch up, she could only act like a panicked rabbit.

They completely disregarded any semblance of elegance or family refinement and turned to flee.

She even accidentally knocked off a bow she used to tie her hair.

And then... this is the situation we have now.

"It's not your fault, Rin."

Shirou leaned against the rooftop wall and smiled at Rin.

"I should say that I shouldn't have used magic on the rooftop without thinking."

"However... I'd feel much more at ease if Rin found out."
