"You finally managed to survive!"
"If you lie on the ground like a piece of trash and beg for mercy, maybe I will let you go. Then, I will give you some of the prize money for this game!"
Chapter 546: Inexplicably unhappy emotions
The azure light slowly spread over the rooftop of the school called Tsukiumihara Academy.
The soft light like the sun made Toosaka Rin, who was standing on the rooftop and observing the entire school building, feel a little warm.
As time passed, the originally bright blue light gradually turned red, and the NPCs walking around the campus also walked towards the non-existent world outside the campus with a smile on their faces.
In this world, even the passage of time feels incredibly real, but compared to the real world, how long a day here actually lasts is probably something only a few people understand.
Even during the main selection stage, the NPCs of this school are still operating normally as usual.
It was as if this was just an ordinary school.
"I really don't know how Emiya Shirou is doing now--"
With a sad mood, Toosaka Rin stood alone on the rooftop and sighed slowly.
As an excellent magician, she had already obtained the code key from the arena.
The monsters created by Mooncell are not something that ordinary magicians can easily deal with.
Because this so-called trial is a trial for Masters who have Servants.
Toosaka Rin simply couldn't imagine how Emiya Shirou would obtain the code key without a Servant.
What's more, you will be attacked by opponents in the arena.
Toosaka Rin was very pessimistic at the moment, and when Emiya Shirou was about to go to the arena, she was about to speak out to stop Emiya Shirou.
But even if they really prevented Shirou Emiya from entering the arena, it would only delay his death.
Masters who fail to collect the code keys will also be deleted by the system before the final battle.
What's more, facing Emiya Shirou's extremely determined eyes, Toosaka Rinna's words of persuasion were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter them.
Shirou Emiya faced these things fearlessly not because he was confident in his own abilities.
It would be better to say that it is precisely because he has witnessed the power of the heroic spirits that he understands his own weakness.
Shirou Emiya has no way of guaranteeing his victory, nor is he so arrogant as to think that he can really compare with those Heroic Spirits and Servants.
He is just doing the best he can. Should he stop moving forward because of the possible bad ending in the future?
Participating in the Holy Grail War never meant that Shirou Emiya believed he had the right or power to seize the Holy Grail.
He just wants to do his best to help more people.
The sunset in the west waved a gorgeous veil and slowly shone on Toosaka Rin's face.
She didn't understand why she felt sad for someone she had only been with for three days.
Perhaps, this is because he does not want to see a person who works so hard to save others die in such a meaningless way.
Just as she was looking at the setting sunset and wanted to leave the rooftop, the door was gently pushed open again.
"You are here indeed—"
Emiya Shirou spoke with a matter-of-fact tone, looking at Toosaka Rin who had just turned around.
In this academy, apart from Toosaka Rin, whom he knows, Emiya Shirou has almost no other person to communicate with.
Sakura seems to have deleted her memory. Sakura will only tell Shirou Emiya some basic knowledge and will not have too much communication with Shirou Emiya.
As for the others, there is no need to mention it. This is the Holy Grail War, everyone is an enemy, and on the one hand, they are trying to find the real name of their opponent's servant.
On the other hand, he is constantly hiding the true name of his Servant.
Among the magicians participating in the Holy Grail War, there was an outlier, a magician named Leo, who revealed the information of his servants without any concealment.
Gawain, the Knight of the Sun, is one of the Knights of the Round Table in "The Legend of King Arthur".
When he heard this name, Shirou Emiya was suddenly shocked. The story of the Knights of the Round Table was a story that Shirou Emiya was very familiar with.
As the one who possesses the scabbard and has summoned Arthur, the first thing I did was to catch up on all aspects of King Arthur.
Because he knew very well that if he really participated in the Holy Grail War again, even if he did not summon Arthur, he would basically summon someone who had a great connection with Arthur.
The scabbard is the best holy relic.
"You didn't get the code key?"
The moment she saw Shirou Emiya, Toosaka Rin looked over with an expression of disbelief.
If Emiya Shirou really looked for the code key, he would be half-crippled even if he didn't die. How could he appear in front of him like this intact?
Toosaka Rin almost subconsciously judged that Emiya Shirou did not try to get the code key at all, but entered the arena and left after finding out the situation was not good.
There is basically no way for magicians to deal with those generated monsters, and only the Servant can deal with them.
"I got it—"
Shirou Emiya noticed Toosaka Rin's somewhat confused expression and replied to her calmly.
Although he might not be able to defeat those Servants, Shirou Emiya felt that he could still obtain the code key.
"Huh? Didn't you encounter those monsters that appeared from the walls, ceiling, and ground?"
Although Toosaka Rin asked in a questioning tone, she didn't believe that Emiya Shirou could obtain the code key under such circumstances.
But he could also easily sense the worry in Toosaka Rin's heart.
“I met you, I met you——!”
Looking at the excited Toosaka Rin, Emiya Shirou quickly waved his hands to indicate that he had encountered what she said.
"Then why did you——!"
But before she could continue asking, her Servant seemed to stop her.
Toosaka Rin also quickly restrained her emotions, but her eyes were still full of confusion.
In an Earth where the great source of magical energy has been exhausted, a magician as powerful as Shirou Emiya actually appeared.
As a warrior, Toosaka Rin's Servant could easily feel Emiya Shirou's powerful and well-tempered body and his extremely regular breathing.
What's more, for some reason, he felt a little disgusted with this white-haired boy even though he was just a Master who didn't even have any Servant.
It's not that I feel disgust towards what Shirou Emiya has done, nor is it that I feel disgust towards Shirou Emiya's selfless character.
It was like there was a feeling of incompatibility. In short, there was a feeling that made him feel uncomfortable about Shirou Emiya.
However, he did not have any different attitude towards Shirou Emiya because of this.
He is very pessimistic about Shirou Emiya.
Without a Servant, this kid might not even survive the first round.
Servants are not so easy to deal with.
Chapter 547: Conversation between Rider Group
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
On the other side, Shinji Matou was standing in his room, waving his hands and roaring in extreme annoyance.
"Is that the only word you know?"
The cherry-haired woman sitting at a very luxurious table nearby seemed to not care about her master's emotions at all and complained out loud.
This room, which was originally a classroom, is extremely luxurious.
There are crystal chandeliers, extremely spacious beds, and tables and chairs that look quite classic yet a bit luxurious.
These were the gifts given to them by the NPCs as a token of gratitude for their help when they were wandering around the academy.
乷Although Shinji Matou did not do anything, these extremely precious things seemed to come to him automatically.
Of course, faced with such good luck, Shinji Matou certainly believed that this was God's appreciation of his talent.
What's more, these things are not useless. As the Master, Shinji Matou knows the true names of his servants and their Noble Phantasms.
Although he is proud, he is not so arrogant as to be completely insolent, and he has a good understanding of the information about his servants.
After leaving the arena, he has been looking for ways to make more money.
“Shut up!!”
Shinji Matou threw the golden wine glass on the table to the ground like an angry child.
He pointed his finger at the cherry-haired woman and made an accusing sound.
"Aren't you a Servant? Why can't you defeat a Master in three rounds?!"
After leaving the arena, Shinji Matou could be said to be getting angrier the longer he endured, and the more he took a step back, the more he felt at a loss.
Although there seemed to be no problem during the battle and in the final outcome.
But Shinji Matou changed his mind and realized that Shirou Emiya was not a Servant. He was just a magician and a Master.
How could his power be compared with that of any other servant? Moreover, as Rider's Master, he also knew exactly what his servant's combat level was.
How come he couldn't even handle a Master? He felt like Rider was playing a role.
"Didn't you see it with your own eyes? I couldn't do anything to him under such circumstances. Do you still naively think that he is just an ordinary Master?"
"Or can you take that kind of bombardment like him? Use your genius brain a little."
Seeing Shinji Matou angrily throwing the golden wine glass to the ground, the cherry-haired woman did not seem angry. Instead, she picked up a bucket of wine beside her and mocked Shinji Matou at the same time.
“It seems so—!”
After hearing her scolding, Shinji Matou found that he had no way of refutation at all. There was no way he could get involved in such a battle.
I was afraid that I would just blink and my head would be pierced by those bullets.
But isn't it a little too unimaginable that a magician has the power to fight against heroic spirits?
What's more, according to his thinking and the thinking of normal magicians.
The best way to find out the opponent's weakness in a one-on-one confrontation is to know the enemy Servant's real name, find the Servant's weakness based on the real name, or infer what the Servant's Noble Phantasm is.
Many strategic approaches can be used as a breakthrough point from his real name, whether it is to target his weaknesses or to avoid conflict with his strong points.
But Emiya Shirou, he is not a Heroic Spirit.
There is no use knowing his real name, and you still don't know what methods Shirou Emiya has.
It was just like when the cherry-haired woman started the conflict with Emiya Shirou, she had no idea that he had excellent close combat ability, and was instead suppressed in their first battle.
This is a gap in intelligence, and even Shinji Matou has no way to fill it.
He really faced Emiya Shirou with the mood of a fierce battle.
After hearing the scolding from the cherry-haired woman, he began to think seriously.
However, the cherry-haired woman still held the flintlock in her hand tightly with an indifferent attitude.
"boom--!"
The close-range gunshot startled Shinji Matou who was thinking.
Thinking was also interrupted directly.
His face was distorted with anger once again, and he wanted to accuse his servant.
But at this moment, the cherry-haired woman picked up the wine barrel that she had opened with a gun with one hand, pulled it to her mouth, and started drinking it in big gulps.
"It's still better to drink like this! Drinking from a wine glass is really petty!"
With a heroic spirit, the cherry-haired woman stood up, suddenly raised her legs and stepped on the classical and luxurious table, and began to drink in big gulps.
“Rider!!!!!!”
The anger was palpable.
One could even clearly see the bulging blue veins on Shinji Matou's forehead.
"Hey! Instead of thinking about how to deal with that Master, I should think about how to hide my identity. Although not much was revealed in the battle yesterday, I can still find some clues, especially your call of Rider——"
If it wasn't for Shinji Matou calling her Rider, then anyone would have first judged her job as Archer.
