Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Zabizi: "Seriously, it looks so awkward no matter how you look at it."

They're both the same person, yet they can dislike each other to this extent—

"So, what strategy have you prepared? You're not coming into this challenge unprepared, are you?"

Unfortunately, Red A guessed wrong this time.

Because beforehand, they really did come with the intention of dying.

[Ilya is dead, and they can't find any other help, but they can't abandon Fujimura Taiga.]

Fortunately, that was before; now...

"Your opponent is me, the grandpa!"

A blue figure appeared beside Rin Tohsaka; it was Dog Bro!

[That makes sense. Kirei Kotomine was 'killed' by Medea, so Dog Brother naturally became an enemy of her.]

[Red A and Dog Bro, these two rivals, are finally facing off for the second time.]

Dog Bro: "Oh ho, finally I get a scene!"

Koles: "This development... is really quite unexpected."

After all, Dog Bro had been just standing around doing nothing, and they thought he was waiting to reap the benefits, but they didn't expect him to step in directly.

While Archer was held back by Inugami, Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya seized the opportunity to rush into the church, preparing for their final battle against Medea and Souichirou Kuzuki.

They knew that if they lost this time, Medea would never let them go.

Even with a do-or-die determination, they still have three formidable opponents: Medea, Souichirou Kuzuki, and Artoria.

It seems that Rin Tohsaka's side has no chance of winning this duel.

A direct confrontation is clearly not going to work, so this time, we need to use a strategy!

Luvia: "Heh, finally you've started using your brain, huh?"

Rin Tohsaka: "What did you say?! I've been thinking the whole time, okay?!"

Luvia: "How dare you say such a thing? You were clearly being played like a fool."

Rin Tohsaka: "Is that my fault?! It's clearly because my idiot teammates betrayed us, otherwise how could my plan have failed!"

Red A: "..."

Inside the church, dazzling gemstones burst into light in mid-air, like fireworks.

For Medea, it was like fireworks.

No matter what moves Rin Tohsaka used, it was useless; she couldn't harm Medea in the slightest.

The difference between her and Medea was simply too great.

Chapter 551 - Underestimating the Enemy: Rin Tohsaka's Shining Moment

However, this was originally a tactic of underestimating the enemy.

She used seven gems at once, and now only two remain.

She wasn't sure if her plan would succeed, because it relied on the enemy releasing her rather than killing her outright.

This is why she's been doing things in vain.

Rin Tohsaka is luring Medea into underestimating her opponent and making a rash move.

Gina: "A trap! Does Rin Tohsaka still have any trump cards up her sleeve?"

Blonde Rin: "...I already know how she plans to deal with Medea."

Magical Girl Illya: "Me too..."

Now that things have come to this point, many people in the group have figured out how Rin Tohsaka plans to turn the tables.

"Oh, is that all?"

[Plan successful! Medea truly lowered her guard, canceling her levitation magic and landing directly in front of Rin Tohsaka.]

"Don't you still have gems? Don't give up so easily. Why not try again before you run out of gems?"

[Rin Tohsaka wore a look of despair. "That magic trick was my limit. If even that didn't work..."]

Luvia: "Tch, what a good actor."

Medea: "So you finally understand. No matter what you do, you can't beat me. But it's still quite interesting, isn't it? Because it's been a long time since I've competed in magic with anyone."

"Well, just for that reason alone, it's worth playing with you."

Seeing that Rin Tohsaka remained silent, Medea's underestimation of her opponent intensified.

"Are you unwilling to accept it? Rather, this is something to be proud of. Because you actually managed to engage in a magical battle with me. It's only a matter of time before that kid is defeated by my master."

"Of course, before that, our battle should be pretty much over."

Having said that, Medea raised her right hand, ready to finish off Rin Tohsaka.

"Body Enhancement!"

[Rin Tohsaka instantly activated her body enhancement magic, simultaneously detonating the gems she had previously placed nearby.]

This time it's not an attack, but—a flashbang!

This action clearly caught Medea off guard. She instinctively raised her hand to cover her eyes, but forgot to quickly back away.

"Like a tiger stubbornly climbing a mountain!"

The next moment, Rin Tohsaka suddenly rushed out and struck Medea hard in the chest, sending her flying.

[She bet right. Medea indeed believed that she would lose her fighting ability once she could no longer use magic, thus lowering her guard.]

To this, Rin Tohsaka can only say:

[Mom, you're so naive! Modern magicians can be incredibly shameless!]

Medea was indeed taken aback by Rin Tohsaka's move.

She was having a fair and square magic duel with the little girl, and the girl actually resorted to such underhanded tactics against her?

In that instant, the feeling of being betrayed and mocked resurfaced in my heart.

What a despicable, shameless, and brazen little girl! She has no sense of martial ethics!

Mom: "Hehe (laughs angrily), you did a great job, little girl."

They actually took advantage of her compassion to steal from, deceive, and ambush this naive, divine magician.

Rin Tohsaka: "Ahem, magic is your forte. Why should I use my weakness to compete with you? Don't you understand that you should use your strengths to attack your weaknesses? (`^)"

Feng Xi: "(Praise) Clever!"

Medea: "(╬~皿~)凸"

Wuming: "Hmm, at least they know to throw a flashbang to blind people first. Not bad combat skills."

Blonde Rin: "Want me to teach you some gun knowledge? It's definitely more effective than your fists."

Rin Tohsaka: "Uh, that's not necessary..."

"You...you're supposed to be a magician, yet you resort to such underhanded tactics and physical combat?"

[What also surprised Medea was Rin Tohsaka's terrifying strength.]

Upon inspection, it turned out that the punch the other person had delivered had broken his ribs.

Because she didn't have a magic array set up within the church, she couldn't absorb magic to heal her injuries.

"Sorry! For modern magicians, self-defense is also a required course!"

[Rin Tohsaka pressed her advantage, delivering a sweeping kick that sent Medea staggering, followed by a series of Bajiquan punches aimed at her chest.]

【"Bang!!!"】

Medea crashed into a broken stone pillar, and the pain was so intense that she could no longer stand.

This series of combined punches nearly knocked Medea unconscious.

[His devilish muscles are terrifying.]

Luvia: "No way, Medea is really going to get solo killed?"

Magical Girl Luvia: "If she actually succeeds, she can probably brag about it for the rest of her life."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "(covers face)"

It's over. Both daughters are spoiled rotten; the elegance passed down through generations of the Tohsaka family is about to be completely lost.

Medea began to regret her naiveté.

When Rin Tohsaka launched her surprise attack on Medea, Medea assumed the girl was trying to escape because there was no sign of magic leakage. She never expected Rin to charge at her and attack her with her fists and feet!

Medea was so angry that she forgot to cast a spell, even though she could easily cast one instantly.

However, just as Rin Tohsaka was about to seize the opportunity to secure the first kill, Souichirou Kuzuki appeared behind her and sent her flying with a powerful punch.

The force of this punch was astonishing, piercing straight through Rin's arms, which were enhanced by magic.

【"ah--"】
