If it were an ordinary person, faced with such egregious behavior, they would probably immediately protest and report Nina's despicable actions.
However, given Nina's status and position, coupled with the involvement of many sword masters, it's highly likely that the matter will fizzle out.
Shirou therefore had no intention of complaining about such a trivial matter.
Most importantly, he's already wearing this exaggerated armor, so why would he care about the opponent's little tricks?
No matter what difficulties he faces, he only needs to resolve them using his own methods.
"call."
The moment he realized the difference in weaponry, Shirou immediately created distance and began chanting.
"Synchronize, start!"
"The basic bones are explained!"
"The composition of the material has been clarified!"
"A fundamental change!"
"Material reinforcement!"
"Reinforcement completed!"
Shirou hasn't used enhancement magic in a long time because he's had virtually no opportunity to use it since he learned the Sword God Style's Light Blade.
Now that the Blade of Light has been sealed, Shirou uses his enhancement magic again and discovers that it has improved significantly without him even realizing it.
He realized that this was probably still related to his forging skills.
The forging technique affects not only the projection but also the reinforcement.
Or rather, projection and enhancement magic are fundamentally the same thing in my mind.
From enhancement to projection, and finally to forging... this is how I have progressed on the path of weapon creation, gradually mastering higher levels.
When he turned around, Shirou realized without realizing it that he seemed to have reached an extremely high level in the art of weapon creation.
His enhancement magic can even turn ordinary wooden swords into divine weapons!
"Aha!!!"
Nina, unaware of what was happening, continued charging confidently toward Shirou, brandishing her wooden sword.
However, the metal-wooden sword in her hand shattered the moment it clashed with Shirou's wooden sword.
"Crash!"
Wooden structures and metal parts were scattered all over the ground.
"This……"
Nina and her teacher were stunned by the outrageous scene, completely unprepared for what had just happened.
Everyone else present looked over, their expressions showing surprise.
Only the Sword God, though equally surprised, looked at Shirou with a deeper gaze, filled with an indescribable complexity and anticipation.
Chapter 270 The Sword God's Target? Challenging Sword King Kyrie Irvine!
Shirou used his enhanced wooden sword, reinforced by his magic, to break Nina's wooden sword, which had been secretly mixed with metal pieces. While this was illogical in the world, it was perfectly normal for Shirou.
Putting aside the fact that his enhancement magic has been greatly enhanced, even when he was still very weak, he was able to barely create weapons to withstand attacks from Servants using enhancement magic.
After he enhanced the wooden sword in his hand, its level was significantly improved, reaching a level comparable to a finely crafted sword.
It was only natural that Nina's wooden sword with a metal core would be broken.
However, while Shirou himself knew these things, Nina and the many sword saints obviously could not understand them.
They all looked at Shirou, and then, surprisingly, the villains started the accusations, blaming Shirou first!
"This guy is cheating! There's something wrong with his sword!"
"That's right, how could an ordinary wooden sword shatter an opponent's sword! That kid's wooden sword must have something else mixed in!"
"This cheater must be disqualified from the assessment!"
"..."
The group of sword saints have completely lost face and are using all sorts of means to smear Shirou.
This scene was so utterly shameful to the Sword Kings and Sword Emperors that they all turned their gazes away, unwilling to watch these juniors make a fool of themselves any longer.
The Sword God, however, seemed to enjoy watching the scene unfold, and he clearly had no intention of stopping it, simply observing silently.
"What on earth did you do..."
Nina, after all, wasn't as shameless as the other sword saints.
She switched to a wooden sword with a metal core, but neither of them could break Shirou's sword. Instead, she was the one whose sword broke. This incident made her realize that the boy in front of her was different from others, and she instinctively had complex thoughts.
However, she was a proud person and would never take the initiative to apologize to Shirou, so she chose to ask Shirou about the situation in order to change the subject.
"It's nothing, I just used magic."
Shirou spoke silently.
His words were misheard by Nina as magic.
Although it was the first time she had ever heard of magic that could harden weapons, she finally understood the situation, and her expression turned quite grim.
Having already chosen to cheat, her weapon was still destroyed by the opponent, and for a moment she completely lost the will to continue fighting.
In particular, Shirou did not take offense at the metal fragments that fell out after her wooden sword shattered, nor did he attack her.
Shirou's magnanimity made Nina realize how narrow-minded she was, and also made her stop dwelling on her conflict with Alice.
"I surrender."
Nina ultimately chose to give up.
Although she hadn't been defeated, after what had just happened, she was no longer willing to fight Shirou.
"This……"
Unexpectedly, Nina chose to concede defeat. The sword saints not far away showed confused expressions. They clearly had not seen reality as clearly as Nina, and still harbored hostility towards Shirou, not wanting the boy to successfully pass the sword saint test.
Just as the sword saints were racking their brains to prevent Shirou from passing the test, and even began to secretly attack the irresponsible Nina, the sword god finally stepped forward.
He and even the swordsmen around him who held titles of Sword King or higher looked at these Sword Saints with cold disdain, as if they were a group of fools putting on airs.
Sword God and the others knew very well who was right and who was wrong in everything that had just happened.
A formal duel is not decided the moment the sword is broken.
True defeat comes only when one's heart yields to the other.
However, the Sword God did not reprimand his Sword Saints, as if he had given up on these hopeless fellows. Instead, he turned to Shirou and said, "What a disgrace, Nina. You can't even pass a mere Sword Saint exam. What kind of behavior is this?"
"I'm sorry, Father."
Nina was so frightened that she immediately knelt down on one knee.
But she really had no face to fight Shirou. Rather than continuing to fight Shirou, it would be better for her to simply accept the sword god's punishment.
But the Sword God did not punish her. Instead, he coldly said to Shirou, "You brat, you actually used magic in a noble sword duel. This behavior must be punished."
Are there rules against using magic in sword duels?
"Yes, there is no such rule."
"So……"
"Then I'll add this rule today: you used magic in the sword duel, which violates the rules, so I'm going to punish you."
"..."
Faced with the Sword God's obvious targeting of him, Shirou was truly at a loss for words.
Knowing he couldn't resist, he simply accepted the punishment.
The Sword God didn't keep him in suspense and immediately said, "Well, because you caused my daughter to fail the test, as punishment, I'll have you fight a Sword King directly."
"what?!"
The Sword God's outrageous words stunned everyone present.
Not only Shirou, but even the sword saints of the holy land were all dumbfounded, exchanging glances, completely unexpected that the sword god would be so protective of his own.
Although the Sword God does show some care for his daughter Nina in his daily life, as the Sword God, she has always kept public and private matters separate and has never shown such obvious favoritism in public.
The other party's actions today are tantamount to destroying my reputation.
This undoubtedly puzzled many swordsmen.
But the Sword God had no intention of explaining, made a straightforward judgment, and returned to his original spot without looking back, leaving the Sword Kings looking at each other in bewilderment.
They clearly hadn't expected the Sword God to leave them with such a mess, forcing them to fight a young man who wasn't even a Sword Saint.
This is not only a huge test for Shirou, but also a huge test for these senior figures who are well-known and respected.
After all, regardless of who wins or loses this duel, they are bullying the weak and will not save face for anyone.
In the midst of this chaos, Kyrie Irvine stepped forward. She took a deep breath and said to the Sword God, "I will be Shirou's opponent."
"Oh?"
The Sword God glanced at Kyrie Irvine and scoffed, "He's someone you brought. Are you sure you won't go easy on him?"
"With the title of Sword King and this [Taimu], one of the Seven Swords of the Sword God, as my guarantee, I will show absolutely no favoritism in this duel!"
Kyrie Irvine took a deep breath and spoke.
The Sword God remained silent for two seconds before finally nodding: "Alright, I approve."
"Yes!"
Upon receiving permission, Gilead immediately headed towards the dueling arena.
The other sword kings exchanged glances, and ultimately handed over this unfortunate task to Gilead, deciding not to get involved in this troublesome matter.
Shirou is forced to duel the Sword King.
This silenced all the swordsmen present.
The punishment for Alice's suspected cheating incident was so outrageous that most people stopped discussing it.
The sword saints, who were initially quite dissatisfied with Shirou's situation, are now silent. Instead, they look at Shirou with pity, filled with sympathy and sorrow for him.
Nina couldn't help but plead with the Sword God, "Father, I was also at fault just now. There shouldn't be such a severe punishment, right?"
"You've finally realized it, haven't you?"
The Sword God smiled at Nina, his eyes revealing a look of disappointment and frustration.
Nina realized that the other party already knew she had done something wrong, but she became even more confused, not understanding why the Sword God would punish Shirou so severely if he knew who was right and who was wrong.
The Sword God didn't offer much explanation, simply saying, "If it weren't for the fact that so many people were watching, and I would have lost face if I hadn't gone in personally."
"What...what are you saying?"
Nina couldn't understand the Sword God's words.
The Sword God didn't bother to explain, and instead looked cheerfully towards the center of the dueling arena.
Shirou and Gilead are now standing on opposite sides of the battlefield, and just like many years ago, they are once again clashing with each other.
However, Shirou has grown too much this time, and his strength is no weaker than Gilead's. But because he is restricted by the Sword God, he is wearing too heavy armor, so on paper, he is still far behind Gilead.
This battle is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Shirou.
"I'm sorry, Shirou, I won't show any mercy."
Kyrie Irving knew Shirou's situation, but he still showed no mercy and gripped his sword.
Of course, it's a real sword that has been sharpened.
For the Sword King, ordinary wooden swords could no longer bear the weight of their battle aura, and could easily destroy the sword in his hand.
Seeing Kyrie Illusion's actions, Shirou did not hesitate and immediately raised the Phoenix Dragon Sword that the Sword God had given him earlier.
Yes, the Sword God never took back the Phoenix Dragon Sword after giving it to Shirou.
This means that Shirou finally has a sword that he can actually use.
Otherwise, now that Muramasa has been destroyed by the Dragon God, he would only have the Sword of Victory left to use.
