A Dimensional Journey Begins with the Dragon Clan

Chapter 1243 1236. Fire Suppression

“————————“

Finally, Emiya Shirou realized that the opponent in front of him was serious.

"You can run away if you want, but it's a waste of energy. I'm going to win anyway."

Toosaka Rin's cold words.

It made Shirou Emiya's brain a mess.

  Over here, seriously, fighting...?

Why in a place like this, why at this time, why do I have to fight that Tōsaka————?

"Wait, wait a minute, Toosaka! Are you crazy? This is a school!? If you make a noise, who knows what will happen -"

"We'll talk about it later. I always believe in not letting go of opportunities. I'm sorry, Emiya-kun, but I'll finish you off right here... and I can't stand you wandering around like you did today."

"So wait a minute...! I never thought about fighting with Toosaka or anything like that—"

"You don't have it but I do...! Be prepared, Shirou————!"

After declaring war like she was throwing a tantrum, Toosaka's arms began to move.

“————————!”

What kind of magic is that?

The moment Toosaka pushed out his left hand, his vision was shattered by light.

“Hmm…!”

It takes about four steps to reach the stairs leading to the second floor if you run at full speed.

If you retreat back to the corridor, you can also enter Toosaka's blind spot in about four steps.

This is not the time to panic, now should be——

  Back to the corridor!

“Ugh—!”

Without looking back, he retreated quickly based on his intuition.

  There was no way to worry too much, so I used Tōsaka's blind spot - the corner of the corridor as a shield and lunged forward with all my strength -!

Slide towards the corridor.

“Hmmmm!”

All that was heard was Toosaka's angry click of the tongue and the sound of something heavy hitting the wall.

“Wait——what on earth did that guy just do——?!”

Emiya Shirou stood up and looked back.

……wall.

The wall in front of which he had just been standing was now emitting something like smoke.

Well.

To be more precise, there were three fist-sized burn marks on the wall.

“————————“

Long-range weapons——No, they are things with a "curse" that can make the opponent who is hit sick.

The gand strike that Toosaka mentioned should be a rune magic from Northern Europe, an indirect curse that can make the opponent's condition worse by pointing a finger at them.

Its effect, in the final analysis, is just to make people feel physically uncomfortable. Even if it is a mistake, it should not cause an explosion as happened just now.

However, the magic power contained in Toosaka's gand is so strong that it looks like a bullet at first glance.

The problem is that it not only looks like it, but its power and effect are also the same as a bullet.

Ha, it’s Toosaka as expected.

In order to make a chronic curse take effect immediately, there should be a limit to its strength.

"Tsk, you want to kill me————!"

"Damn it, I just said that!"

The sound of footsteps chasing after me echoed behind me.

“Ugh—!”

He rearranged his posture at full speed.

  ———There is no time to think. If I don't run away now, it will be bad...!

“The corridor, the corridor is too dangerous————!”

The corridor is too straight.

Toosaka's weapon is long-range, so if you just walk through the corridor like this, you will definitely be hit from behind.

"Hey, stop right there!"

Toosaka leaped out from the stairs.

Before that, he quickly slipped into the second-year F class classroom next door.

Gand ran through the corridor.

  That Tousaka guy, after getting to the corridor, just left things lying around without thinking...!

"You must be joking. How can we fight against an opponent like this? How can we fight? The difference in fighting power is simply like heaven and earth...!"

Emiya Shirou glanced around the classroom anxiously.

Armor.

Whatever, is there any shield or clothing or bulletproof vest that can protect against that kind of shooting...!?

“Oh no, it’s coming————!”

The sound of Toosaka's footsteps running towards here disappeared at the entrance of the classroom.

…She should have seen him hiding in here.

So, she stopped because she wanted to ambush him—

"How could this be possible, idiot——!"

Running.

  From one side of the classroom to the other, just like running in from the classroom entrance,

Bullets were fired mercilessly from the corridor————!

Ahh, come on, did you think you were shooting at the bucket...!

The bullets penetrated the wall and shot radially into the classroom.

"Ouch! It's so hot. My back is scratched!"

If I had stopped just now, I would have been shot through.

"!? You must be kidding, how can you be so agile!"

With a click, Toosaka Rin jumped into the classroom.

  The distance was less than four meters. Our hands were grasping the handles of the front and back entrances of the classroom, and then we looked at each other again————there was no time at all...!

Ran out of the classroom and into the corridor.

No more escaping into the classroom.

  In this case, I can only run as fast as I can towards the stairs over there!

“!”

  Wow, that's so ruthless!

It just whizzed past my temple! Ah, another shot whizzed past the side of my abdomen!

"It's so hot, so hot...! Damn it, are you serious? It's not fun if I get hit!"

  "Of course, who would be so naive as to think that it would be okay if they got hit...!

If you are afraid of pain, just stand still. Wouldn't it be much easier that way?!"

The bullet flew past Emiya Shirou.

  By the way, why is it that the sound effects are like real bullets from just now!?

"Wait, aren't you shooting with a gand? It sounds like you're killing me!"

"You're so annoying, so stop running around! I got so excited because of you running around like a target...!"

Toosaka continued shooting while speaking.

"Wow! We need to find a way to get the weapon!"

"Is that all you have to say, you bastard?"

For a moment, the loud gunshots were deafening.

But it was only a hair's breadth away.

At the same time, Emiya Shirou finally reached the stairs leading to Class 2-A.

“Hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo!”

Run down the stairs.

At last he won here.

Go down the stairs to reach the corridor on the second floor.

If I just run to the first floor, even if it's Toosaka, I don't think she would do anything stupid.

————There is nothing to say.

Toosaka jumped over the handrail and jumped directly to the first floor.

Simply put, it's blocked.

In order to reach the first floor, he had to break through Tousaka who was staring at him.

"I'm really surprised. You're really as light as a swallow, Tousaka. Didn't you say before that you had some excess fat on your body?"

“————————“

what.

Veins popped out on Toosaka's face as he glared at Emiya Shirou.

Habits are really terrible things.

The moment my brain thought "don't come over", my feet had already jumped towards the corridor involuntarily, and then I heard the sound of the wall of the stairs exploding.

I fled to the other side of the corridor. If I had moved forward, it was from the corridor on the third floor to the corridor on the second floor.

If I could successfully escape to the first floor again, even this stubborn Toosaka would be able to...

"Wow, here we go again! Don't be so stubborn, Toosaka, it's about time you gave up!"

"You won't cry until you see the coffin! I won't kill you, so just be quiet...!"

———Is she starting to get serious now, or is it because Emiya Shirou is running around that her blood is boiling?

Toosaka's gand, if he keeps shooting like this, it will definitely reach a point where people will call the police.

“Ah… now is not the time to worry about that——!”

The power has been increased again, that is, the bullet has become larger.

The "curse" that just made people feel hot when it was applied has now become able to cause burning pain to the parts that are touched.

"----it hurts…………!"

One foot was touched to the thigh by the gand.

The speed slowed down.

The moment Emiya Shirou realized that he would be caught up before he reached the stairs, he jumped sideways towards the third-grade classroom next to him.

“————Hmm.”

He rushed into the classroom and ran towards the window.

…Then what should we do?

If it's on the second floor, jumping down should be fine.

Since we will be attacked if we go to the corridor, we might as well just go out from here.

“————Das Schlie?en (preparation). Vogelk?fig (soundproofing), Echo (finished).”

Toosaka's voice came from the corridor.

The classroom was covered with something like a film.

“——————What, is it a barrier…?”

When Emiya Shirou realized that this was some kind of barrier with soundproofing capabilities, he immediately understood what Toosaka was planning to do.

“!!!!!!!!!”

Just when he was about to stick his head out of the window and jump from the second floor.

————My whole body could sense the activation of a powerful magecraft.

He immediately bent down, knocked over the table and hid behind it.

————Different from the gand that I have used so far.

Close your eyes and press your hands firmly against the inside of the table.

————Spell.

Even with the support of the Magic Seal, Toosaka still chanted the spell.

  Can I catch up? No, I have to catch up!

Skip the whole process of creating a second nerve in the spine and pump magic into the table like crazy...!

"Fixierung (Aim), EileSalve (Shoot at once)————!"

"Synchronize (trace), start (on)————!"

Explosion sound and light.

After school, as usual, the classroom, which was nothing special, turned into a dance floor in an instant.

————The table is dancing.

The concentrated magic power released from the corridor towards the classroom was beyond the reach of a gun or something like that.

The thing that attacks continuously and over a large area is equivalent to a machine gun.

I don't know what effect this magical "curse" has, but it is a block of magic that can be seen with the naked eye.

Because they have mass, they will bounce away everything they touch.

The desks arranged in the classroom were as chaotic as a person with his head on fire.

The sounds of roaring bullets and dancing tables had already numbed Emiya Shirou's eardrums.

It's more like a battlefield than a dance floor.

As if it was insulated from this, there was not even a trace of a crack on the window.

This must be the power of the barrier that Toosaka created.

Now, this classroom is a secret room.

Even if you can enter this secret room, you can never get out of here.

Even the sound of so many bullets being fired was not leaked out.

...Really.

  This guy, Toosaka, has become an admirable magician————!

“Woooooooooooooooo!”

The table used as a shield was infused with all of Emiya Shirou's magical power.

The table, which had been hardened by the only magic he could use, "strengthening", blocked the rain of magical bullets.

"Gu, wu——!"

However, this is only temporary.

With his enhancements, he couldn't even last three seconds in such a hail of bullets.

As a result, he could only strengthen again the moment the strengthening effect disappeared, and repeat this behavior continuously while his magic power lasted.

"Damn it, that guy's magic power will never run out——!"

The rain never stopped for a moment.

...Perhaps, Toosaka already knew what was going on in the classroom.

She knew that he used this method to defend himself, so she did not slow down her attack for a moment.

In this case, if the rain were to stop, that would be—

"...When my magic power is exhausted..."

He focused his attention on the table, sighed, and relaxed his shoulders.

...In this case, it's a test of patience.

  That guy and him are just competing to see who has better patience————!

“————Oh, forget it.”

Wasn't the outcome already decided?

How should I put it? It felt like losing by technical knockout fifteen seconds into the first round.

Although Emiya Shirou was not injured and still had enough physical strength, there would be nothing he could do if his magic power was exhausted.

"...But this is really..."

Cautiously, he poked his head out from behind the table.

The classroom was filled with white smoke and nothing could be seen clearly.

With a click.

The hand seemed to touch something stick-like on the ground.

"The legs of the chair... that guy really did a lot of damage to them."

Anyway, it can be used as a weapon at least.

Holding the 20-centimeter-long iron rod, he poured the last of his remaining magic power into it.

"——You did a great job. What? If I were to go on stage, I would be able to hit the target every time."

I tried to swing the "reinforced" iron rod with force.

...Next.

  Even though this place is already in ruins, the situation has not improved. If he is attacked like that again, he will really become a honeycomb.

The.

I don’t know if it’s because I used too much magic and hurt my waist and legs, but now it’s difficult for me to even stand up.

"Hmm--cough, cough."

Add to that the smoke, and even normal breathing becomes a problem.

"Using smoke to smoke me? Damn it. What a perfect attack, that guy..."

Toosaka is very used to fighting.

Staying here will only lead to death.

…Anyway, they’ve already ambushed me in the corridor, and I can’t get out through the window because of this barrier.

“————————“

I made up my mind and headed towards the corridor.

His legs were still numb, and he held onto the remains of the table as he crawled forward in the white smoke.
