A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Ignoring Waver's domestic violence, Shirou, seeing this, wisely turned his gaze to Berserker, who had been sent flying and embedded in the building wall.

Shirou naturally knew Berserker's true identity as well.

Lancelot was one of the twelve Knights of the Round Table under King Arthur, and was known as the "Knight of the Lake" and the "Flower of Knights."

He was caught having an affair with King Arthur's queen, but he was not punished by King Arthur. King Arthur, out of consideration for their past relationship, banished him. Because he did not receive the punishment he deserved, he became a heroic spirit after his death because of this obsession.

There is no doubt that the other party is specifically targeting Saber.

However, if Saber were to fight him in her current injured state, it would be futile.

The law defeated it.

Although Berserker won't use his Noble Phantasm against Saber, he was at his peak when fighting Karna.

The Berserker class itself is 'Berserker', and with the class skill 'Berserker', all of a Berserker's stats except Luck and Magic Power will increase by one level.

Of course, such a powerful boost also has side effects, namely, it will cause Berserker to lose his ability to speak and only be able to say "abba aba", and he will not be able to think too complexly. In short, he will become stupid.

You might wonder why Berserker can still use his original martial arts even after he's gone mad. It's too much of a stretch to say that he can only use his body's instincts. Some moves can't be executed just by instinct.

Moreover, if it were an instinctive reaction, Karna would have smashed him to pieces long ago, instead of lingering for so long.

The real reason is that Berserker possesses the inherent skill "Infinite Martial Arts Training." Lancelot's unparalleled martial arts training in a certain era has enabled him to achieve complete unity of mind, skill, and body, allowing him to unleash powerful combat abilities without being affected by any mental influence.

Relying on this skill, she can still perform at her original level even in a berserk state, as demonstrated in her performance during the battle with Gilgamesh, where she dodged and caught his Noble Phantasm and knocked down his second Noble Phantasm.

With these skills, Berserker's combat power skyrockets under the influence of his class, while he can still maintain his martial arts skills without being inferior to anyone. This is why Matou Zouken initially thought that summoning Berserker would guarantee victory.

However, that old guy is beyond dead, so he can only watch this scene live from hell.

At this moment, the Berserker, who had been launched into the air by Rider, struggled to his feet, but he was no longer as frenzied as before. As if he had been brought back to his senses by the launch, he turned and fled.

Although the situation left everyone except Shirou somewhat confused, the street near the sea quieted down after Berserker finally left.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Rider naturally didn't intend to linger there any longer.

"Well then, everyone, see you later. There are still several days to go."

After saying this, Rider rode away on the ox.

"Well then, it's about time for me to leave."

Shirou smiled and waved to the still somewhat dazed Saber and Irisviel, then left with Karna.

Just then, Karna suddenly asked, "Master, should we take care of those two scoundrels on the roof over there?"

Karna's sudden words made Saber and Irisviel tense up again.

However, Shirou simply smiled and said...

"Need not."

"Understood." Karna didn't ask why, he just nodded and continued to follow behind Shirou.

Saber and Irisviel, who were standing at the back, finally came to their senses after seeing Shirou and Lancer's figures gradually disappear into the distance.

"This is... the Holy Grail War..."

Kiritsugu Emiya, who was on the roof, also raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes fixed on the two figures that were moving away.

"Shirou Orihara... he might be our biggest opponent in this Holy Grail War."

While Kiritsugu Emiya was somewhat shocked by Shirou and Lancer's power, Saber, who was quietly watching the two figures gradually move away, finally let out a deep breath after confirming that there were no enemies around.

Saber's true name has been revealed, and all her cards have been exposed.

"I really didn't expect..."

Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, Saber's gaze was somewhat complicated, and she finally sighed helplessly.

"Is this the Holy Grail War...?"

She had been extremely confident in her abilities, but she never expected to suffer such a blow on her very first night.

First, she was almost defeated in her duel with Lancer, and then she was suddenly attacked by Berserker. All these unexpected crises made Saber feel unprecedented tension.

This was far more dangerous than the battlefields she had experienced before.

Because these heroic spirits were all absolute powerhouses in their respective eras.

The thought of fighting them later made Saber unsure whether she was excited or nervous; her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

Chapter Twenty-Four: Reunion with Rin at School

Nothing happened on Sunday. Shirou stayed home with Sakura and started thinking about when to have her go to school with him.

There's no need to do this during the Holy Grail War; it'll only last a little over a week anyway. The Orihara couple can prepare afterwards.

.

And so, Monday arrived.

Last night, a torrential rain fell on the city outside. The gloomy sky seemed to be venting its anger as it poured down dense rain, which did not gradually stop until the early morning.

As the first rays of morning light shone into the room through the gap in the curtains, Shirou, lying in bed, finally opened his eyes.

A girl nestled beside Shirou, her long hair spread out on the pillow, a subtle fragrance filling the air.

"It's impossible to keep one's identity hidden. I suppose the reason those guys didn't show up yesterday was because they were frantically gathering information."

Muttering to himself, Shirou sat up in bed.

The slight movement woke Sakura from her deep sleep.

"Shirou... are you leaving?"

Sakura reluctantly nestled her head against Shirou's chest.

Although Shirou always slept on the other side of the bed every night, he found Sakura had somehow crawled into bed next to him in the morning.

"Okay, I have to go to school. Sakura, you stay home and be a good girl."

Shirou gave instructions.

"I understand, Shirou~"

Sakura nodded obediently, curled up in the blankets like a kitten, and cuddled with Shirou for a while, still a little reluctant to leave.

For Sakura, Shirou, who brought light to her otherwise bleak life, was her sole motivation to live.

After having breakfast, Shirou left home with the bento box prepared by Mrs. Orihara.

However, before heading to Yatsushirodai Elementary School, Shirou asked Karna to stay behind.

"Master, are you alright on your own?"

Karna was still somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, even if I can't beat you, I can still escape."

Shirou replied.

With his current strength, he can hold his own against any Servant.

However, defeating it will be somewhat troublesome.

After giving Karna his orders, Shirou set off for the school.

"I'm facing a group of elementary school students again today..."

As Shirou walked to school, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

However, the thought of seeing Rin made Shirou realize that going to school might actually be a little more interesting.

After all, this young lady is not only a beautiful girl, but also a rich woman.

Upon arriving at school, Shirou went to his classroom and opened the door to find himself surrounded by a group of elementary school students chattering noisily.

Since classes hadn't started yet, the elementary school students were discussing various topics in their small groups.

In this day and age, cliques are probably not as serious as they are now; at least Shirou hasn't seen that kind of vicious exclusion.

It seems that this phenomenon is also accompanied by the gradual increase in restlessness and radicalism in the times.

Shirou went straight to his seat and leaned back in his chair, thinking about the Holy Grail War.

An unspoken aura emanated from him made him stand out from the surrounding elementary school students.

"Although I now possess the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, it doesn't mean I can easily win this Holy Grail War."

In the Holy Grail War, even if you know far more information than others, strength is always the primary criterion for victory.

Faced with absolute power, no amount of scheming will make a difference.

Therefore, if we are to face Gilgamesh and Iskandar, we must find a way to strike first.

This is the Fourth World War, and Gilgamesh is unlikely to be killed because he underestimated the enemy, as he was in the Fifth World War.

If he were to foolishly run over and challenge Gilgamesh to a one-on-one fight, Gilgamesh might not even give him time to activate Infinite Blade Works and would just pull out Ea and instantly kill him.

"It seems we need to think of other ways..."

……

Ring ring ring ring!

As soon as the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class, the teacher on the podium immediately began to pack up his textbooks and leave the classroom without any intention of delaying.

Students either eat in the school cafeteria or bring their own lunch.

Shirou belonged to the latter group. He took out the bento box that Mrs. Orihara had carefully prepared and was about to start lunchtime.

Just then, a gaze fell from the corridor outside the classroom window, followed by the classroom door being pushed open.

"Orihara~!"

Some excited and lively shouts came from the back door of the classroom.

Not only Shirou, but all the students in the classroom heard it and turned to look with curiosity.

Standing there was a girl with pigtails; even at her age, it was clear she was a beauty in the making.
