Jobless Reincarnation: Emiya the Great Hero Must Show His True Skills

Page 227

When Ariel was forced to flee the capital due to internal strife within the Kingdom of Asura, Silphi naturally followed her.

When she heard that the destination was the Magic University, Sylphie realized that she might run into Rudeus.

After all, Rudius had set off for the Magic University before her back in Buena Village.

However, when Silphie arrived at the Magic University, she found that she had not been able to find out anything about Rudeus, since she had not been admitted to the special class.

Hilfi thought Rudeus might have already left the magic academy, so she didn't pay any attention and continued to serve as Princess Ariel's bodyguard.

Until Princess Ariel became the student council president of the magic university through her own efforts, Silphie, as Fitz, also became one of the top figures at the magic university.

After all, as a user of spells that do not require chanting, she is a rare talent, even in a magic university.

Of course, Hilfi never had excessive confidence in her talents, much less became arrogant.

Because she grew up in the village of Buena and witnessed the growth of the two Grerat brothers, she deeply understood that those two were the true geniuses.

I am nothing more than a dullard who is trying to learn by following the other's footsteps.

Hilfi originally intended to further her magical studies at the magic university so that she could demonstrate even greater magical power in the future and thus meet those two again.

But to my utter surprise, although we did meet, the timing seemed rather unfortunate.

Or rather, it was absolutely terrible.

……

The cafeteria at the magic university.

"Ariel?"

Upon hearing Fitz's conversation with the student council members, Shirou immediately noticed the name of the student council president mentioned by them.

After all, if his impression was not mistaken, the second princess of the Kingdom of Asura was named Ariel.

The other party had once visited the Boreas family, seeking power from him, who was Muramasa. Later, he was unexpectedly kidnapped but was rescued by him...

Because of all these wonderful coincidences, Shirou still pays some attention to Princess Ariel.

When he returned to the Kingdom of Asura, he specifically investigated the whereabouts of Princess Ariel, only to learn that she had been assassinated. He intended to leave the Kingdom of Asura, but was assassinated on the way and died at the hands of his political enemies.

Shirou was deeply moved by this matter.

If it weren't for his eagerness to become stronger and find his family, he would probably have returned to the capital of the Kingdom of Asura immediately, not to avenge Ariel, but at least to seek some justice for her.

In short, Shirou's feelings for Ariel are quite complicated, so when he learns that the student council president's name is Ariel, he can't help but fantasize that she is the Ariel he knows.

But he also knew very well that having the same name was nothing new in the world.

The name Ariel is not rare, and the probability of it being a coincidence is quite high.

With rational thought in mind, he stopped indulging in too many fantasies and instead focused his attention on the event before him.

He had met this boy named Fitz before when he first enrolled and had a fairly good impression of him.

I never expected that the other person would also be a member of the student council, and seemed to be quite trusted by the student council members.

Considering his current conflict with the Magic University Student Council, a battle with Fitz may be unavoidable.

While Shirou was deep in thought and not really wanted to start a fight, Fitz himself was even more eager to avoid this pointless battle.

After all, Fitz's true identity is Sylphie, and she cannot possibly be an enemy of Shirou and Rudeus.

But she still hasn't revealed her identity and continues to confront Shirou as a stranger named Fitz. If she doesn't want to reveal her identity, she can't go against her duty.

While he hesitated, the student council members had already made their own decision for him.

Many student council members confidently put forward Fitz to fight against Shirou and Rudeus.

The reason Fitz was sent alone was because she had shown amazing strength after coming to the magic university with Ariel.

Not only does she possess the ability to cast magic without chanting, but she also single-handedly defeated Linia, Prusena, and more than twenty delinquent students in a battle against them.

That battle silenced all doubts about her at the entire magic academy, solidifying her current reputation.

Although it looks like they are fighting two against one, most people don't think it's a problem.

However, Fitz herself was undoubtedly devastated. She knew Shirou and Rudeus's strength all too well, and that she might not even be able to defeat either of them in a one-on-one fight, let alone one against two.

They died without even knowing how they died.

Just when she was in a dilemma and didn't know how to back down, Shirou took the initiative to speak up: "If we have to fight, let me be your opponent. But I hope there's one thing: if I win, let's pretend that nothing happened today."

"This……"

Upon hearing Shirou offer a way out, Fitz nodded eagerly and said, "Then let's do it your way!"

Fitz's words not only gave him an out, preventing him from having to fight both Shirou and Rudeus at once, allowing him to choose only one as his opponent, but also ensured a better ending to the situation involving Shirou and the others.

Although the student council members had some reservations about this choice, they had great faith in Fitz's abilities and therefore did not raise any objections.

Both sides prepared for a one-on-one battle.

"Why don't you let me come."

Rudeus felt that the whole incident was his own fault, and Shirou was just stepping up to clean up the mess he had made. He shouldn't let Shirou bear the responsibility for the duel.

Shirou shook his head and said, "It's best to take full responsibility for this. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Shirou was so confident because he knew that Principal Genius was his backer.

As Principal Genius's student, even if he gets into trouble, the principal will surely be able to smooth things over for him. However, Shirou will incur a further debt of gratitude and will need to find a way to repay it.

In contrast, Rudeus has been in a state of seclusion these days and has not built up any connections at the magic university. If he causes a huge sensation, he may very well be expelled.

Having considered all of this, Shirou was prepared to take full responsibility alone and face Fitz one-on-one.

The two arrived at an open space.

Fitz hesitated at first, but in the end he prepared for battle, pursed his lips tightly, and said, "My name is Fitz, nice to meet you."

"I am Shirou Grellard."

Now that he had found Rudeus, Shirou stopped hiding his true identity and revealed his original name.

Upon hearing this name, some student council members who were somewhat familiar with adventurers were stunned, and couldn't help but recall certain well-known rumors from the Northern Continent.

But they still didn't connect the rumors to reality.

Fitz was somewhat bothered by Shirou's self-introduction, because for various reasons, she herself was unable to reveal her true identity.

Amidst their complex thoughts, the battle between the two was about to begin.

Shirou showed no intention of making a move, giving his opponent complete control.

Fitz, on the other hand, wanted to demonstrate his abilities and prove that he hadn't been idle all these years and was trying his best to catch up with the two brothers.

So she carefully took out a small magic wand and unleashed her strongest, uncast-free magic without hesitation.

Although it was just a regular intermediate-level wind spell, because it was cast without incantation, Silphi's firing speed far exceeded expectations, creating several wind projectiles almost in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, wind magic also has the characteristic of being visually imperceptible, making it impossible for people to see which direction the attack will come from.

Shirou naturally responded to Fitz's actions.

Furthermore, he did not intend to use swordsmanship or other physical techniques, but rather to use magic in the same way.

After all, Shirou came to the magic academy to learn and improve his magic. If he continues to rely on skills such as swordsmanship, his magic will inevitably stagnate.

Unlike Rudeus and Fitz, Shirou is not good at magic and has hardly ever used magic in combat.

But that doesn't mean he's not good at using magic in actual combat.

On the contrary, Shirou was a magician in the past, specializing in using magic in battle. Now, he can easily transform magic into magic.

"Snapped!"

Faced with Fitz's attack, Shirou raised his hand and created a mid-level earth elemental magic to defend himself. At the same time, while creating an earth wall, he also cast sword magic, creating countless blades behind him, turning them into a cage of blades.

“IAmTheBoneOfMySword”.

Fitz never expected Shirou to have such an exaggerated speed at activating magic.

Although both are spells that do not require chanting, Shirou's activation speed is superior because he can even activate two different spells simultaneously while multitasking.

Rudius could do that, but Fitz couldn't.

As she was eager to cast her second spell, Shirou's sword magic had already taken shape, and with a clang, countless blades fell to the ground, completely surrounding the area where Fitz was!

Chapter 304 First Arrival at the Slave Merchant Guild, Confronting the Soul of the Heroic Spirit Emiya!

Shirou easily defeated Fitz and won the battle.

This was nothing to Shirou and Rudeus, but it was undoubtedly an unbelievable thing for the student council members and even Fitz himself.

Fitz looked around at the rows of steel swords with astonishment.

Shirou's sword magic has now reached a level where every weapon he forges is close to the quality of a fine weapon crafted by a top blacksmith.

Putting aside the fact that Shirou's unique magic was unheard of, the speed at which the opponent created weapons was also unbelievable; it was almost as if the magic was released instantly.

Fitz, also known as Hilfi, had never witnessed Shirou's sword magic when she was young, so she never expected to see such a scene.

Even after the battle ended, she remained in a daze.

Meanwhile, after winning, Shirou calmly said, "Now that I've won, let's leave it at that. By the way, you can handle these two guys."

As Shirou spoke, he pointed to Linia and Prusena lying on the ground, intending to hand the two beast princesses over to the student council for processing.

The student council members remained unconvinced and couldn't resist trying to stop Shirou.

But Fitz had already come to her senses, and she spoke seriously:

“We have already agreed to the conditions of the battle, and now that Shirou has won, we can no longer stop him.”

"This...but..."

"Do you want to be scolded by Lady Ariel?"

Upon hearing Fitz's angry tone, a commotion broke out among those around them.

The student council members' expressions turned to one of utter defeat. They all gasped in shock and then lowered their heads in silence, which was tantamount to acknowledging Fitz's attitude.

After the student council members left, Fitz approached Shirou and Rudeus and said, "I'm sorry, we were wrong this time. They did this because they admired the student council president too much..."

"It's ok."

Shirou nodded, showing no resentment.

Fitz breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at her a few more times hesitantly, and then left silently.

"That guy turned out to be a good person."

Seeing Fitz's departing figure, Rudius couldn't help but speak.

"Yes."

Shirou nodded.

He looked at Fitz's back and felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen such a figure somewhere before, but he still couldn't remember where.

……

After returning to the dormitory, Shirou and Rudeus parted ways temporarily.

Shirou had no good solution to Rudeus's impotence; he could only rely on Rudeus himself.

After achieving his goal of finding his younger brother, his next task is to further develop his magic at the magic university and create sword magic that can truly be used in battle.

Recalling what Principal Genius had said to him, Shirou gradually began to understand.

High-level magic often takes two paths.

One is a larger scope.

The other is a more extreme form of power.

In terms of range, sword magic is now quite formidable.

Not to mention that Shirou also possesses the Unlimited Blade Works of the Heroic Spirit Emiya; simply creating magic with a wider coverage area would be almost meaningless to him.

No matter how powerful sword magic is, it will only become a lower-level skill of Unlimited Blade Works.

Therefore, if Shirou wants to turn sword magic into a skill that can be used in actual combat, he must move towards extreme destructive power.

If Emiya's Unlimited Blade Works leads to the end of infinity, then all he needs to do is return to the origin and achieve that ultimate one.

After having the idea, Shirou immediately began developing his own sword magic.
