Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

school.

At this time, the last rays of the setting sun have been completely swallowed by the night, the teaching building is silent, and the evening breeze blows through the empty corridors, making a sobbing sound.

The school was deserted, but Shirou Emiya still managed to climb over the wall and quickly ran towards the school building.

He turned into the agreed-upon corridor and slowly stopped, looking at the figure at the other end of the corridor.

"Shinji!" Emiya Shirou was furious when he saw Matou Shinji holding a knife to Matou Sakura's neck.

"Release Sakura!"

"Senpai..." Matou Sakura's eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling with sobs.

"You shouldn't have come..."

Shinji Matou swept his gaze across both ends of the corridor with a sinister look. After confirming that no one else was there, a cruel sneer curled at the corner of his mouth.

"So you really came alone, without even a Servant."

Before he finished speaking, a tall, slender figure in purple slowly appeared beside him.

Rider, Medusa.

"Emiya, you really are incredibly stupid." Shinji Matou raised the book of false patrons in his hand, laughing wildly.

"Take him down, Rider!"

"No, brother!" Matou Sakura struggled frantically, but Shinji held her firmly, the blade slicing a bloody gash across her neck.

Medusa moved with lightning speed, appearing behind Shirou Emiya like a ghost, her gleaming chains sweeping across the room with a whooshing sound. Shirou Emiya rolled forward abruptly, the chains grazing his back as they slammed against the wall, shattering the tiles with a crash.

Before he could catch his breath, Medusa followed up with a powerful whip kick that landed squarely on his stomach. Shirou Emiya groaned, his stomach churning, and he flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing headlong into Shinji Matou.

"What?!"

Shinji Matou cried out in surprise, not having time to dodge, and was hit squarely in the face, the two of them falling to the cold floor together.

Taking advantage of the break, Matou Sakura broke free of her restraints, staggered and fell to the ground, then quickly used the wall to push herself up.

"Senior, are you alright?"

"It's nothing..." Emiya Shirou, clutching his throbbing abdomen, propped himself up from Shinji, swiftly snatched the switchblade from his hand, and punched him hard in the face.

"Shinji, take this!"

boom--!

Shinji, who was initially dazed and confused, was brought back to his senses by the solid punch. He covered his instantly swollen cheek, his eyes filled with disbelief and resentment.

"You actually...you actually!"

"What are you doing, Rider!" Shinji Matou shouted angrily.

"Kill him!"

Emiya Shirou immediately shielded Matou Sakura behind him, assuming a defensive stance, and looked warily at Medusa.

Just as the latter was about to make a move, several gems suddenly pierced the darkness, crashing towards her with surging magic, forcing her to retreat and dodge.

The next second, Karna appeared silently, his spear piercing Medusa's chest without any resistance.

That's enough.

Rin Tohsaka walked out from the corner of the stairs with her arms crossed, her tone icy, followed by Shiya Lin, who had a look of amusement on his face.

Karna flicked his wrist, sending Medusa, the weapon on the tip of his spear, flying like a rag doll, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Tohsaka, Tokiya, what's wrong with you...?"

Before Shirou Emiya could finish speaking, Shiya Hayashi interrupted him.

"You rushed out in such a hurry, of course we had to follow and see what was going on."

After saying that, he glanced at Matou Sakura behind Emiya Shirou for a few seconds.

Just like in the original story, the other party is still the vessel of the Holy Grail, the embodiment of the evil of this world, Angola Mainyu, but the other party himself is unaware of it.

To be honest, out of consideration for his friendship with Shirou Emiya, and out of sympathy for this girl from his past life, he had already secretly altered the timeline.

Although Matou Sakura is still in the Matou family, at least she hasn't suffered from those bone-corroding Crest Worms. He's too lazy to get involved in anything more.

As for why Matou Sakura's hair is still purple even though she wasn't tormented by insects... Lin Shiye explained that he preserved some of the color so that everyone would know that this person is Matou Sakura.

Didn't expect that after all the twists and turns, we would still end up like this?

He silently withdrew his gaze.

"Hey, hey..." Shinji Matou called out quickly when he saw that Shiya Hayashi and Rin Tohsaka's attention was on Sakura Matou.

"Look at me! Everyone, look at me!"

"I am now your enemy, I am the Rider's Master!"

"Tsk..." Rin Tohsaka frowned in disgust.

That undisguised look of disdain completely pierced Shinji Matou's pitiful pride.

"You bastard, how dare you look down on me!"

"Rider, stand up!" He activated the Book of False Ministers in his hand, continuously forcibly controlling Medusa.

Countless electric currents crackled across Medusa's body, causing her to let out a painful howl.

Karna's expression was grim. He could no longer tolerate someone insulting and trampling on the dignity of Heroic Spirits. Just as he was about to make a move, Matou Sakura's voice rang out.

"Stop, brother! Don't hurt Rider!"

Seeing Medusa's pained expression, Matou Sakura completely lost control of her emotions.

"No...no! Rider, come back!"

The moment she finished speaking, the immense magical power dormant within her erupted like a volcano. The Book of False Ministers in Shen's hands was instantly ignited by the dark magic, vanishing into thin air without leaving even ashes.

Medusa suddenly stood up, and the piercing wounds on her body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a flash, she appeared in front of Matou Sakura like a gust of wind, and without making a sound, she pushed Emiya Shirou, who was still trying to protect Sakura, aside.

Shirou Emiya plopped down on the ground, somewhat incredulous. Even with his mediocre magical skills, he could tell that Medusa's current state was completely different from before.

Seeing this, Rin Tohsaka and Karna both showed thoughtful expressions.

"That's right! That's exactly it!" Shinji Matou was overjoyed upon seeing this and pointed at everyone, shouting.

"Quick! Rider! Kill them!"

"I refuse." Medusa's voice was completely calm.

Shinji Matou's smile froze on his face.

"My only Master is Sakura, and I will only protect Sakura." Medusa looked at Sakura beside her, her tone softening.

"Are you kidding me! What are you talking about?!"

Shinji Matou screamed hysterically, but before he could finish speaking, Karna appeared in front of him and sent him flying with a casual punch, crashing hard into the wall of the corridor.

"elder brother……"

Sakura Matou instinctively took half a step forward, then abruptly stopped. Her fingertips gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, but in the end, she didn't go over.

"Hahaha……"

Shinji Matou covered his mouth, which was coughing up blood, and struggled to get up from the ground. He knelt down and let out intermittent, eerie laughter.

"It's over, Shinji," Shirou Emiya said in a deep voice as he stood up.

Shinji ignored him and just stared intently at Medusa.

"Rider, I'm giving you one last chance. Kill them."

Medusa did not reply, but merely tilted her head slightly, as if looking at an insignificant stranger.

"Is that so..."

Shinji Matou slowly lowered his head, his hair obscuring his eyes, as if he had finally resigned himself to his fate.

But the next second, he suddenly raised his head, a vicious, almost insane smile curving his lips.

"You said... you only want to protect Sakura, right?"

"Then, as punishment for your defiance of me—I will personally shatter your wishes."

Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka immediately felt a sense of foreboding. Sakura Matou felt a sudden tightness in her chest, and her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

(A powerful melody begins~)

I gotta believe!

"Matou! Sakura!"

Shinji Matou suddenly stretched out his hand, pointing it directly at the pale-faced girl, and roared, word by word.

"Why do you possess so much magical power when you've never studied any magic?"

"Why have you become so sleepy lately? Why do you feel so full after waking up?"

Sakura Matou took a step back.

"Stop talking!" Rin Tohsaka, contestant number one, narrowed her eyes and started running.

"There's only one answer," Shinji continued.

"Shut up!" Contestant number two, Emiya Shirou, also realized something was wrong and followed suit.

"Matou! Sakura!" Shinji shouted for the second time.

Contestant number three, Medusa, finally moved.

But at that moment, Shinji Matou had already uttered his last words.

"Because you are the corrupted fragment of the Holy Grail, the perfect vessel for all evil, the culprit behind the coma of countless ordinary people!"

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

Maniacal laughter echoed through the empty corridor, carrying a desperate and malicious intent that seemed to threaten mutual destruction, shattering all peace.
