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

Page 236

Shirou also learned about the existence of teleportation magic circles from Nanaboshi. It is said that there are many hidden magic circles in this world that can allow people to instantly teleport to different locations.

This made Shirou very envious, because if he had known this during the Great Transfer, he wouldn't have had to spend nearly two years traveling from the Demon Continent to the Kingdom of Asura.

Afterwards, Shizuka Nanahoshi generously told Shirou the locations of all the teleportation magic circles.

"Is this okay?"

"Well, Orstide told me to keep it a secret and not tell anyone, but if it's you, Emiya, then there's no problem at all."

"Why do you trust me so much?"

"Because I'm your number one fan!"

"..."

Seeing Shirou's speechless expression, Nanase quickly laughed and said, "Okay, okay, to be serious, I know you better. You're not the kind of person who would use a teleportation array to do bad things. Rather than saying you wouldn't do bad things, you're the kind of person who would instinctively rush to save someone if you saw them in danger, without the slightest hesitation."

"This……"

Shirou fell silent upon hearing the mention of the Seven Stars.

He doesn't believe he still has that sense of justice; he has abandoned justice.

But Seven Stars spoke seriously: "You may think you have given up on justice, but I know that Shirou Emiya will never completely abandon his sense of justice. Even Archer, who says that justice is childish, will instinctively do things that are true to his conscience."

“Archer is Archer, and I am me. Even Unlimited Blade Works has denied me.”

Shirou sighed.

Since Shizuka Nanahoshi already knew about his situation, he simply revealed the Unlimited Blade Works matter as well.

Qixing was quite surprised after hearing this. She then pondered silently, "I know about this because in the anime, not every Shirou Emiya has mastered Unlimited Blade Works. The only one who truly mastered Unlimited Blade Works in the Ubw route is you... Ah, you're saying something I don't understand. Anyway, Unlimited Blade Works is Archer's ability. Being denied by it doesn't mean you've given up on justice, but rather that you're not recognized by Archer."

"Emperor Emiya's approval?"

Upon hearing Shichiho's words, Shirou seemed to be suddenly awakened.

Indeed, he has forgotten his greatest connection to Unlimited Blade Works until now, which is the existence of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

The reason he was able to unleash Unlimited Blade Works on that snowy night was because he had gained the approval of the Heroic Spirit Emiya and, with the help of the other's power, he swept through the Holy Grail War in one night.

Shirou is currently harboring resentment towards Emiya, fearing that he will be influenced by Emiya and thus have no chance of gaining Emiya's approval.

But this has led to a dead end.

Being influenced by the Heroic Spirit Emiya and gaining his approval are two things that will happen together, but Shirou doesn't want to take the risk and face the terrible consequences.

While he hesitated, Seven Stars suddenly had a bright idea and said, "Actually, gaining Emiya's approval doesn't necessarily mean that Emiya will influence you. You can influence him. Or, if you can defeat Emiya, proving that your path is more correct than his, wouldn't that also gain his approval?"

The inspiration for the Seven Stars comes from the duel between Shirou Emiya and the Heroic Spirit Emiya in the Ubw route.

Shirou Emiya influences the Heroic Spirit Emiya through battle, forcing the latter to accept the path chosen by Shirou, which ultimately leads to the power of Unlimited Blade Works being transferred to Shirou Emiya.

Shirou found Shichihoshi's idea very reasonable.

He suddenly thought of many things, and finally said with great gratitude, "Thank you, Seven Stars, you have cleared up many of my doubts."

"No, that's not true."

Qi Xing's face inexplicably turned red.

Judging from her expression, Shirou realized that if she said she was his number one fan, it probably wasn't a lie.

Chapter 313 Forging a Distant Ideal Land, Demon King Priest Lang Magic!

Shizuka Nanahoshi chose to come to the magic university in order to return to her original world.

According to Shizuka Nanahoshi herself, some time after arriving in this world, she realized that she might have been summoned by someone.

The result of being summoned was the Great Transfer event.

Yes, although Seven Stars herself was not keen to admit that she was the culprit behind the transfer incident, she was indeed present at the scene of the Great Transfer.

Later, she even consulted an authority on summoning magic, which further confirmed that she must have been summoned to this world by some being.

After confirming this, Qixing keenly realized that since someone could summon him to this world, it meant that he might also be able to summon himself back.

Therefore, she chose to investigate summoning magic and decided to set up her base at the magic university.

She first donated a large sum of money she earned to buy a B-class and special student status in the Magic Guild.

Secondly, through her connections in the Kingdom of Asura, she introduced uniforms and other items to the school, re-examined the education system, and revamped the teaching materials. In the blink of an eye, she was promoted to A-rank in the Magic Guild.

If she were to further share her knowledge, she could reportedly gain an S-rank status, but she declined the invitation. Seven Stars' purpose was clear: she wasn't doing all this to make the world a better place or to accelerate its development; she was simply doing it to achieve her goal of returning to her homeland.

Shirou neither agreed nor disagreed with the view that Shichiho was excessively selfish.

He has given up his obsession with justice, but he doesn't want Qixing to be too selfish, because selfish individuals often find it difficult to integrate into a group.

This means that the other person is destined to be alone.

Nana seemed to have sensed Shirou's attitude, but instead of directly denying it, she quietly spoke up:

"In my opinion, time travelers like us are simply aliens in this world. If we cause a huge change to the history of this world, we might be excluded from it."

"Excluded from the world?"

"It's like something out of a science fiction novel; simply put, it's a force that tries to restore history to its natural state. In your world, Emiya-kun, it would be something like a restraining force..."

"The goal of the restraining force is to protect human reason, not to maintain an unchanging history."

"But once history is changed, human reason may also be destroyed, and there may be some unseen connection between the two."

"This……"

Shirou wanted to say that the Seven Stars were worrying unnecessarily, but he didn't dare to completely deny it, since he himself knew how unique the existence of the Counter Force was.

Seven Stars spoke up quietly: "I don't know how things are for you, Emiya, but I can clearly feel myself being excluded from this world. The most obvious example is that after I came to this world, I found that I had no magic power at all."

"No magic power?"

"Well, it is said that everything in this world has magic, even the corpses on the roadside, but I really don't have any magic at all."

Seven Stars said with a hint of helplessness, "Because of this, even if I wanted to study summoning magic, it would be difficult for me. I can only focus my energy on magic circles that can be developed without magic power."

"I see."

Shirou knew just how extraordinary the Seven Stars' abilities were in the realm of magic circles.

This may be the world's way of compensating her, allowing her to possess talents that rival those of those with real abilities, even without magic.

Shirou was still somewhat shocked. It was truly unbelievable that the other party could create a magic circle of that level without any magic power of their own.

"After all, I come from a world without magic, so I think this is only natural..."

Seven Stars sighed, "But besides not having magic, I have an even stranger condition, and I don't know if you are the same, that is my appearance. Several years have passed since I came to this world, but my body has not changed at all, as if it will never age."

"Is there such a thing?"

Shirou was very surprised.

Although both he and Rudeus were transmigrators, they grew up at a normal age in this world and gradually integrated into it, unlike Seven Stars who did not age for a long time.

"That's not so bad for me. It's better not to grow old than to die in an unfamiliar place."

Seven Stars spoke silently.

She then seemed to want to skip the topic and continued, "In short, for me right now, finding a way home is undoubtedly the most important thing, but to accomplish this, many steps are required. One of the biggest problems I've encountered is that I lack magic power, so even if I create the corresponding magic circle, I can't try it."

"If possible, I can provide you with magic."

"I knew you would say that."

A sly smile curled at the corner of Nanahoshi's lips, as if to say that if it were the Emiya Shirou I knew, he would definitely say the same thing.

Shirou couldn't stand Nanahoshi's attitude and could only quickly say, "But I also have something I want to ask you, concerning the magic circle barrier you control."

"Oh? Do you have any magic circles you'd like to create?"

"Others may not understand, but since you know about me, you should know as well. What I want to make is the scabbard of King Arthur's sword, the distant ideal world of Avalon."

"So it was that scabbard... In that case, the blacksmith named Muramasa was indeed you."

"Yes."

Nana knew that Shirou was the blacksmith Muramasa. The moment she saw those Noble Phantasms, she realized Muramasa's possible identity and connected it to Shirou himself.

Now that she had finally received a positive response, she decisively said, "Yes, I can help you create the barrier of Avalon, if I can."

"Thank you."

The two parties thus reached a deal.

Shirou helps Nanase test the magic circle for returning home, while Nanase helps Shirou create the magic circle needed for Avalon.

Both parties benefited from the agreement and achieved a win-win cooperation.

……

On the second day of his collaboration with the Seven Stars, Shirou took them to the blacksmith workshop he had set up at the Magic University.

"It's a wonder that the stingy principal was willing to give you such a big space as a forging room."

"The principal is a good person."

"It's probably just that he values ​​you too much. After all, unlike someone like me who can't even be considered a magician, you, Emiya-kun, are someone who can become a god-level magician."

"Thinking too much."

Shirou shook his head, denying Nanahoshi's words.

He has only mastered advanced magic, not even holy magic, so how could he possibly become a god-level mage?

You should know that there isn't even a single god-level mage among the human race these days.

In the entire world, the only magicians who can be called god-level magicians, besides the sealed demon god Laplace, are the world-famous Ankylosaurus King Percius and the dragon god Orsteed, who may be considered a god-level magician.

Only those at that level can master the ultimate magic.

While Shichisei remained noncommittal about Shirou's attitude, the discussion did not continue.

She then looked at the distant ideal world that Shirou had taken out, which was still in an improved state, and began a long study with the sword sheath.

Seven Stars is someone who, once engrossed in something, completely forgets everything around her.

Shirou quickly realized this and found himself in a state of having nothing to do until he completed his research on the Seven Stars.

So he simply found a secluded spot and began practicing magic.

So far, Shirou has only mastered earth magic and fire magic, but neither of these two types of magic can be used without chanting like sword magic.

This means that Shirou doesn't usually rely on magic in battle.

However, this does not mean that Shirou does not need to practice magic. The strength of magic greatly affects the strength of sword magic, and practicing basic magic will be beneficial to him.

Just as he was practicing magic, the Demon King Badigandi suddenly appeared.

The other party doesn't seem to have left the Magic University yet; instead, he wanders around the academy all day long, giving Ariel and Principal Genius a real headache.

But Badigandi himself did not cause any trouble, acting like a law-abiding citizen.

After he came to Shirou's side, he did not do anything to hinder Shirou. He just silently watched Shirou's magic training, occasionally crossing his six arms in front of his chest or tucking them into his waist, and nodding repeatedly.

After Shirou had almost finished his training, Badigandi spoke up:

"While it's good training, what's the point for you?"

"The meaning... is simply to become stronger."

"Get stronger, then why don't you practice swordsmanship, or the magic you used on me at the end? Those are much more valuable than such a basic spell, aren't they?"

"Perhaps that's true, but I've reached a bottleneck in both swordsmanship and magic. A guy named Northern God II recommended that I learn a little bit of everything so that I can become stronger."

"Oh, it was my nephew who recommended you like that."

"Nephew? Oh, the Undying Demon King is your sister."

Shirou then remembered that Badigandi was the younger brother of the immortal demon king Atofi, and that the Northern God II was Atofi's son, making him Badigandi's nephew.

These guys are all one big family.

“My nephew used to be quite a fierce and ruthless fellow.”

Badigandi laughed and said, "He's certainly become more tactful now, but he still often boasts that he wants to become the world's strongest hero before he dies, even though there are plenty of things more important than that everywhere."

"Important things?"

"Of course it's women! You'll understand once you find one! Hahaha!"
