"Since that's the case, I'm relieved. But... System! Could you be any more stingy? You've already copied all of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's abilities for me, couldn't you at least copy his Nichirin Blade too?!"
However, Lin Ye's complaints were destined to receive no response from the system. Seeing that the system truly wasn't going to equip him with a knife, Lin Ye could only helplessly mutter to himself...
"Forget it, I'll buy one after school tomorrow. I really want to try out the Breath of the Sun. Oh, and this three-star orb, I should find a chance to give it away tomorrow too, otherwise, I really don't know when I'll be able to transform into Shenron again."
Chapter Six: The Two-Star Appears! Shirou Emiya
School life is always easy and enjoyable, at least that's true for most people in this world. Aside from the occasional disaster drill, life at this school is generally quite peaceful. As for why it's peaceful…
"Lin Ye, are you... alright?" Qi Mu Kusuo asked, looking at Lin Ye in front of him.
This guy is all bark and no bite. He was worried that something might happen to Lin Ye after he found the Dragon Ball yesterday. After all, he was the one who threw it out, and the other person was his classmate. If something happened to him, Saiki Kusuo would feel guilty.
As for why he didn't use mind-reading to see through Lin Ye... it's simple. For some reason, he simply couldn't understand Lin Ye's mind. Of course he couldn't. Lin Ye's mind involved the system's existence; wouldn't it be incredibly embarrassing for him to see through the system?
Hearing Saiki Kusuo's words, Lin Ye calmly replied, "Of course I'm fine. Look, I'm perfectly alright."
Hearing Lin Ye say this, Qi Mu Kusuo looked Lin Ye up and down and found that the other party was indeed fine. On the contrary, he looked even better than before, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright then." After saying that, Saiki Kusuo turned around and left.
Seeing Saiki Kusuo leave, Lin Ye silently sat down in his seat, opened his lunchbox, and began to enjoy his lunch.
"Sigh, when will someone in the food world find the Dragon Balls? My cooking skills are just awful..."
As Lin Ye thought this to himself, he reluctantly put the spoon into his mouth. Just then, he heard a commotion nearby.
"Wow! Look at the eleven o'clock position! Isn't that Shirou Emiya from the next class? What's he doing here?"
"Huh! Emiya Shirou? I don't recognize him. What's he doing here?!"
"How would I know? I'm not that familiar with him."
"Oh, it's Emiya-kun. What's wrong? Do you need help?"
"No need to trouble yourself, thank you." Shirou Emiya politely declined the other person's help.
So, holding the two-star object, his gaze kept wandering around the classroom. Feeling Shirou Emiya's gaze, many students looked at him curiously, wondering what he was looking for.
"it's him!"
Suddenly, Shirou Emiya's eyes lit up, his gaze fixed on a man quietly eating his lunchbox to the side. Shirou Emiya calmed his inner joy, then quickly walked to Lin Ye, gently taking out a two-star item and placing it in front of Lin Ye, saying...
"Excuse me, do you...do you recognize this?"
"Huh? A two-star Dragon Ball?" Lin Ye immediately recognized the two-star Dragon Ball in front of him.
It's only the second day, and the second Dragon Ball has already appeared? At this rate, it seems I'll be transforming again in just a few days.
For Lin Ye, transformation equals becoming stronger, so he was naturally very happy to see the Dragon Balls appear.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.
This smile naturally fell into the eyes of Shirou Emiya, who had been keeping a close eye on Lin Ye, which further convinced Shirou that the other party must possess the Dragon Balls!
That's wonderful!
Emiya Shirou also smiled. He too had wishes; he wanted to become a champion of justice, and he wanted to resurrect his adoptive father. He had many thoughts, so after agonizing over it all night, he still came here.
"Classmate, you..."
"Oh, my name is Lin Ye."
"Alright! Lin Ye... you should know about the Dragon Balls, right? Please forgive my impertinence, but I want the Dragon Balls you have."
"Hmm??? You're really direct." Lin Ye glanced helplessly at Emiya Shirou in front of him. "Although he's not very useful to me, I need a reason to give you one."
reason? ? ?
Emiya Shirou thought for a moment, and finally, his tone became firm as he spoke.
"Lin Ye, although this Dragon Ball is an opportunity, it is also dangerous. It will definitely bring a lot of disasters, so it's better to leave it in the hands of someone with certain abilities."
"You're right. But... how can you prove to me that you have this ability?" Lin Ye looked Emiya Shirou up and down. If it were Archer standing in front of him right now, Lin Ye would have given him the Dragon Balls without saying a word, and then waited for him to make a wish so he could copy his skills.
But now...
Emiya Shirou is still a bit too inexperienced.
However, Shirou Emiya remained resolute. He looked at Lin Ye in front of him and said, "Well then, Lin Ye, how about we have a match? Whoever wins will prove that he has the strength to protect the Dragon Balls. How about that... is that alright?"
Hearing Emiya Shirou's voice, Lin Ye glanced at him helplessly.
Who would be happy to encounter something like this while they're having lunch? Lin Ye didn't have any objection to giving away the Dragon Ball, but with so many people watching, wouldn't it be embarrassing to just compromise like this?
Besides, it doesn't matter who gets the Dragon Balls, so why can't they be given to someone who can be useful to me? As for Shirou Emiya... what would I do with his strength if he actually collected all the Dragon Balls?
Having thought of this, Lin Ye spoke directly.
"I accept your challenge."
Chapter Seven: Lin Ye vs. Emiya Shirou
Homurahara Academy High School, Kendo Club Activity Area
The place, which should have been quiet after school, was unusually lively at the moment. The reason was simple: these bored onlookers had heard that there was an exciting duel going on here today!
"Did you hear? Emiya Shirou actually challenged a classmate named Lin Ye today!"
"Emiya Shirou? That's the kind-hearted guy who always gives in to requests? Who does he want to duel? What's wrong? Who could have angered him?"
"I don't know either. It seems like they were fighting over something, but as for what it is, I have no idea."
"What's so strange about that? When two men fight, it's either for power or for a woman, what else could it be for? Tell me, who do you think will win?"
"It must be Emiya Shirou. I heard that he single-handedly defeated a wolf-level villain to save his classmate, all while using a rolled-up newspaper!"
"What? That's incredibly strong? Facing an opponent like that, isn't Lin Ye just courting death?"
"Alright, enough talk. Don't forget to call the school doctor later." "School doctor? I think we should just call an ambulance."
"No, no, Emiya Shirou is quite kind; he'll stop short of it."
Countless people are discussing today's battle. Due to the influence of the world, people in this world are generally full of desire for strength. However, becoming a master is not so easy. Therefore, most people are content with being ordinary, but this makes them admire these masters even more!
Clearly, Shirou Emiya is quite skilled.
Not only ordinary bystanders, but also many famous people from the school have come here at this moment.
"Kaguya-san, what brings you here? Aren't you usually not interested in these kinds of battles?"
"It's nothing, Takamachi Kyoya. I was just passing by. I had nothing else to do, so I thought I'd come and check it out to kill some time. After all, didn't someone say that Emiya Shirou has the strength of a C-rank hero?" Kaguya said, but only she knew what she was really thinking.
In this world, all beings—beauties, monsters, natural disasters, elves, demons, vampires, etc.—are collectively referred to as calamities, and are uniformly categorized according to the Hero Association's rules.
God (Star-level)
Dragon (Nation-Destroying Level) * Nation based on neon standards
Ghost (against city level)
Tiger (Legion-level)
Wolves (stronger than ordinary humans, but only to a limited extent.)
Therefore, many people know about the existence of vampires and demons, but they generally regard them as enemies. Otherwise, some demons would not need to hide their identities to study at this school.
After they finished speaking, they both turned their attention to the two people standing in front of them.
At this moment, Shirou Emiya looked at Lin Ye in front of him and said in a low voice.
"Lin Ye, if you can't do it, you should admit defeat sooner rather than later, otherwise... you'll get hurt."
Shirou Emiya kindly offered a reminder, though it sounded sarcastic; the naive Shirou genuinely meant it. Shirou Emiya was indeed a magician, albeit at the lowest level, but still considered highly skilled among ordinary people.
However………
"How can a man say no? Fine, go ahead and try." Lin Ye said nonchalantly, then casually took the wooden sword handed to him by the referee.
After all, it was just a duel between classmates, and no one would actually use a knife. But even a wooden knife can cause a comminuted fracture if used with force.
“Alright.” Shirou Emiya took a deep breath before turning his gaze to Lin Ye. “In that case… be careful.”
The moment Shirou Emiya grasped the wooden sword, a magical power began to spread along the blade!
Synchronize! Begin!
hum!
This is Emiya Shirou's enhancement magic! With the boost of magic, this wooden sword is now capable of cutting through iron like mud! Combined with Emiya Shirou's diligently practiced swordsmanship! The power of this strike is truly unstoppable for ordinary people.
"Bravo!" From the stands, everyone watched Shirou Emiya below with excitement. Although Shirou Emiya seemed like a nice guy, his fighting spirit and swordsmanship were definitely no weaker than some famous heroes! With a little training… he would absolutely become a true master.
In comparison, Lin Ye seemed rather ordinary. Although he was more handsome than him… ahem… on par, his strength…
The duel has already begun, and you're not even keeping your hand on the hilt of your sword?
Chapter Eight: The Stunning Power of That Sword!
Looking at Lin Ye, who seemed completely unguarded, Shirou Emiya was slightly taken aback. She didn't understand why he wasn't putting up any resistance.
"Is Lin Ye giving up the fight and preparing to admit defeat?"
That was all Shirou Emiya could think, but at that moment he had already swung his sword!
There's no reason to retract a sword once it's been swung!
At that moment, Shirou Emiya's sword was about to strike Lin Ye. The timid girls covered their eyes, and everyone thought Lin Ye was about to be defeated... Suddenly, Lin Ye moved!
Sun Breathing - First Form! Waltz!!!
brush!
No one saw clearly what happened; they only saw Lin Ye's hand suddenly place on the hilt of his sword, and then a bright arc of flame illuminated the entire swordsmanship department!
"not good!!!"
Before Shirou Emiya knew what was happening, he saw the flame appear, and then he could see nothing but feel a scorching heat rushing towards him.
The moment the firelight died down, a wooden knife was already at his throat, and his sword was reduced to just a hilt...
A sword comparable to the hardest steel! Yet, only the hilt remains!
"You lost." Lin Ye said calmly. After saying that, he threw the wooden sword in his hand aside, took the two-star item from Shirou Emiya, who was still in a daze, put it in his pocket, and turned to walk towards the door.
As Lin Ye walked over, everyone subconsciously made way for him.
As the saying goes, this world... respects the strong. Although Lin Ye has left, his sword strike just now will remain unforgettable for everyone.
"What... just happened?!"
"I don't know either. I just saw a flash of light, and then I couldn't see anything anymore."
"Haha, luckily I was wearing sunglasses. I just saw a bit of it. That flame seemed to be coming from Lin Ye's sword!"
"A sword??? It can breathe fire!! Are you kidding me? Did Lin Ye cheat? Or is he actually a fire-based magician or a superpowered individual?"
"How would I know! But I'm sure I've never seen it before. Speaking of which, if Lin Ye could defeat Shirou Emiya with a single sword strike, wouldn't he have the strength of a C-rank hero?"
"C-rank? I've seen the famous C-rank Mumen Rider make a move, but it's far inferior to Lin Ye's sword strike! I guess only B-rank heroes have that kind of strength."
"Lin Ye is so handsome! How come I never noticed before that there's such a handsome guy in our school! I declare! I'm switching from the Kiba fan club to the Lin Ye fan club! Anyone want to join me!"
"Count me in! Count me in!!"
For a moment, everyone present was utterly stunned by Lin Ye's performance. While laymen watched the spectacle, experts understood the underlying meaning; only those with real skill could vaguely discern what had just transpired.
"Kyouya, did you understand what just happened?" Kaguya Shinomiya asked, looking at Kyouya Takamachi beside her. However, he shook his head.
"I don't know. Although I can see his movements clearly, I don't know how he did it! There are no magical fluctuations, no artifact reactions! This... seems to be done solely with swordsmanship!" Takamachi Kyouya was also greatly surprised. He was also a pure swordsman, but this kind of swordsmanship was beyond his reach.
"So it was true, this Lin Ye... is no ordinary person." Kaguya Shinomiya was also lost in thought, her head down, her hand clenched tightly inside her bag. "Let's go, let's go take a look."
After Kaguya Shinomiya finished speaking, she took Kyoya Takamachi and left.
At this moment, Shirou Emiya remained standing in place, silent, staring at the hilt of his sword.
