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

"That's right."

Loki nodded, looking curiously at the blonde half-elf beside her.

“Actually, my daughter is almost old enough to learn magic,” Roltz said with a hint of pleading. “If possible, I would like Miss Loki to teach my daughter some magic as well.”

"Roltz, don't you know magic yourself?"

Luo Qixi seemed somewhat confused.

"Why do you think Roltz can use magic, Loki?"

Shirou, standing to the side, couldn't help but ask a question.

“Well, where should I begin… First of all, magic was originally created by the ancient elves.” Since they were discussing serious matters, Loki didn’t reject Shirou’s idea at all and answered seriously, “Before the war between humans and demons, the world was in a state of chaos and constant warfare. The ancient elves once communicated with the forest spirits and manipulated the wind and earth to resist foreign enemies. Legend has it that this is the birth of the oldest magic in history.”

"Was magic created by elves?"

"Yes, human magic is just a technology that was later developed by imitating the magic of the elves during war and simulating its form, because humans are particularly good at this."

Loki has always been open about magic. “In a sense, the magic that humans have mastered has long surpassed that of elves. Not only elemental magic, but also healing magic and summoning magic, which can summon magical beasts or spirits with the necessary abilities.”

"Do you have summoning magic? Loki, do you know summoning magic?"

"No, I don't know how to summon magic."

Loki shook her head. "However, if one can obtain a magical item inscribed with summoning magic, even an ordinary person can use summoning magic. Oh, a magical item is an item with special effects, engraved with a magic circle inside, which can be used even if one is not a magician. However, magical items usually consume a lot of magic power, so if a human does not have magic power in their body, they cannot use it."

When discussing the topic of magic, Loki is always very serious and detailed, a demeanor that Shirou greatly admires.

"In short, because Mr. Roltz is a half-elf, I assumed he could use magic."

Luo Qixi summarized her words.

“Unfortunately, not all elves know magic.” Roltz shook his head. “My mother, as a pure elf, was not good at magic. Nowadays, magic is no longer a specialty of elves.”

“I see.” Loki nodded and recalled the previous topic. “I’m sorry, Mr. Roltz, I’m currently working as a governess for the Greirat family and don’t have time for anything else.”

"No, that's only natural."

Roltz hadn't had high expectations; he was just bringing up the topic.

"Although I cannot teach your daughter magic, if it were my disciple..."

As Luo Qixi spoke, she instinctively glanced at Shirou, but then suddenly remembered something and strangely looked away.

Shirou didn't understand what was going on with Loki's strange attitude and was about to ask her more questions about magic.

"Wait a moment!"

Just then, Paul suddenly gave the order to halt the operation, looking ahead with an urgent expression!

In an instant, Shirou and everyone present became alert. Although it was Shirou's first time participating in something like this, he was not lacking in combat experience. Both he and the Heroic Spirit Emiya had extremely rich combat experience and knew the correct judgments to be made in battle!

"Crack...crack..."

Strange sounds gradually emerged from the dark forest.

Paul immediately called on everyone to maintain their formation. He himself stood at the front as the main force, while Lokishi, as a mage, was protected in the core, and Shirou, Roltz, and the other villagers defended the flanks.

As time passed, just as everyone was about to hold their breath, several demonic wolves suddenly darted out of the shadows.

The demon wolf has the appearance of a wolf, but it is larger than an ordinary wolf. Its body is engraved with magical patterns that exude a bewitching charm.

It clearly inherited the habits of the original wolf pack, still maintaining group behavior, and due to the increased intelligence after being demonized, it is like an army, with clear command and action.

"Damn it!"

Paul hadn't expected so many monsters to appear all at once. The great forest of Buena Village couldn't have nurtured such monsters, so he could only draw his sword and defend himself immediately!

At the same time, Lokishi began chanting: "May the great protection of water descend upon the place you seek, and the cool, shallow stream will appear here—waterball."

"Boom!"

As Lokishi raised her staff, she poured all her magic into it.

A giant water bomb was released from her hand.

"Snapped!"

The water bullet sliced ​​through the air and struck the foremost wolf directly, knocking it to the ground.

However, there were far more than just one dire wolf. After discovering that their companion had fallen, the other dire wolves turned their attention to Loki, who was the core damage dealer.

"careful!"

Paul's eyes widened. He realized he had miscalculated this time. There were more monsters in the forest than he had imagined, and ordinary villagers were no match for them.

If a fragile mage like Loki were to get close to a demon, she would be completely unable to put up an effective resistance.

"!!!"

Luo Qixi herself undoubtedly understands this.

As an experienced adventurer, she immediately realized the danger she was in, and she had no idea how to deal with the monsters attacking from all directions.

Even if you use earth magic to create walls, you can only defend one direction and cannot stop monsters from attacking from other directions.

"do not want!"

Just as Luo Qixi watched helplessly as the demonic wolf attacked her, its terrifying fangs about to bite her, the sound of a bowstring twanging and an arrow slicing through the air suddenly rang out.

"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!"

Several arrows pierced through the air and struck the attacking demonic wolf squarely.

Moreover, each arrow was extremely accurate, hitting the wolf's vital points, either its eyes or its fragile cartilage, almost instantly forcing the monsters back.

Seeing this, Paul was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in amazement, "Roltz, when did your archery skills become so amazing? You're practically on par with a top-notch adventurer!"

"This……"

Upon hearing Paul's words, Roltz, who hadn't yet drawn his bow, froze, then awkwardly said, "No, I didn't do that."

"what?"

Paul was stunned when he heard Roltz's response. Then he realized that the arrow was not shot at Roltz, but at the red-haired boy who was some distance away from Roltz.

Those arrows were shot by Shirou!

Chapter 43 Why does Luo Qixi hate me?

Shirou is very skilled at archery.

From childhood, Shirou discovered that he possessed an extraordinary ability to focus. As long as he concentrated on one thing, he could do it wholeheartedly, as if he had turned himself into a machine, and he would never stop until he achieved the pre-set goal.

This is especially evident in archery. Every time Shirou draws his bow, he feels as if he can become one with the bow and arrow in his hand, as if he is merging his soul into the arrow, and with the vibration of the bowstring, he is focused on hitting a target.

The arrow had already reached its intended destination before it was even released.

Many people say this, but very few can actually do it.

Shirou is capable of doing this, and he doesn't use his eyes to see. Although his eyesight is excellent, Shirou can often hit his target with his bow and arrow even with his eyes closed.

Especially when he became the Heroic Spirit Emiya in the future, he possessed an ability to hit the bullseye almost every time.

His arrows never miss their mark, nor do they ever lose their target due to any limitations.

That's why, before coming to the forest this time, Shirou specifically brought the bow and arrows he had previously made using earth magic.

Although Shirou only focuses on the Sword God Style during training, it's only because he hopes to break free from the shadow of the Heroic Spirit Emiya and break through his own limits in swordsmanship in the future.

In reality, he knew very well that he had no talent in the Sword God style, and that he was not able to protect the people he wanted to protect by relying solely on the Sword God style.

Therefore, at least until his Sword God Style breaks through to a certain level, Shirou's main fighting style will still be the main method of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Therefore, in addition to his regular practice time, Shirou would always make time to master the swordsmanship, archery, and magic skills possessed by the Heroic Spirit Emiya...

These fighting styles, which were already engraved in his soul, did not require him to spend too much time practicing; they would gradually revive in his body over time.

Indeed, that is true.

Shirou was able to avert Rocci's crisis only because he used his archery skills.

"Unexpectedly..."

Seeing the demon wolf forced back by arrows and even bleeding to death, Loki and everyone else present stared wide-eyed.

Shirou's archery skills were beyond anyone's expectations.

But because they were still in danger, no one had time to reflect.

Paul gave Shirou a deep look, as if he were seeing this boy he had known for years in a new light, and said quite seriously, "Shirou, come and clear the way with me!"

"Ok!"

Knowing that Paul acknowledged his abilities, Shirou smiled.

He has honed his skills for so long, devoting every moment to improving his abilities, all so that he can protect those around him at this critical time.

He has now succeeded, and he has certainly not let his efforts go to waste.

"Shirou..."

Luo Qixi looked at the boy who had just saved her, and her gaze suddenly became even more complicated.

But the current situation doesn't allow her to talk too much; she can only focus on the battle to come.

The group continued deeper into the forest.

"The number of monsters here is unusually high!"

Even without entering the innermost part of the forest, Paul sensed something amiss. The forest of Buena Village couldn't possibly harbor so many monsters; these monsters must have migrated from other areas of the Kingdom of Asura.

"Is there some kind of adventurer's ruins nearby...?" Paul pursed his lips, completely unable to understand why the monsters would appear.

The group then strolled around the forest.

Apart from the group of demonic wolves, most of the other monsters posed no threat.

With Paul's strength, Shirou's archery skills, and Loki's magic, most monsters can be easily eliminated.

Paul breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"It seems that no more dangerous monsters have invaded this place. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that more powerful monsters will arrive later. We need to be more vigilant about the situation in the forest in the future."

Paul's words concluded the event, marking the end of this monster hunt.

On the way back, the villagers surrounded Shirou, all amazed by his archery skills.

After all, it would be natural for Shirou to have exceptional swordsmanship, since Paul himself is a powerful swordsman, so it would be natural for him to train a child with excellent swordsmanship.

However, archery has always been a niche skill, and only a few hunters are good at using bows and arrows.

The villagers were very curious about how Shirou had learned such amazing archery skills.

"Could it be that Roltz taught you that?"

Paul also spoke up out of curiosity.

"I don't have that ability."

Roltz responded with a wry smile, recalling how he had been so presumptuous as to want the priest's archery skills, a thought that now filled him with shame.

"I learned it myself," Shirou replied slowly. "Maybe it's just luck; the hit rate of my arrows is pretty high."

"Can this be explained by good luck?"

Paul stared wide-eyed, clearly not believing it.

Shirou's arrows were both accurate and decisive, comparable to those of the most experienced adventurers. Paul even suspected that Shirou could become a top adventurer based solely on his archery skills.

"Shirou, are you really planning to continue learning the Sword God Style?" Paul brought up the old topic again. "Your talent shouldn't be wasted on something like the Sword God Style. You could progress much faster by learning other styles."

"Going faster doesn't mean you can go further."

Shirou shook his head.

No one could change Shirou's mind about learning the Sword God Style, because he was convinced that he had to follow the Sword God Style to break through the limits of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Paul was unable to change his mind and had no choice but to give up.

"Shirou..."

At the same time, Luo Qixi slowly walked over from the side. The blue-haired girl seemed a little afraid to look him in the eye and said hesitantly, "Thank you for saving me just now."

"No, I just did what I was supposed to do."

Shirou spoke calmly.
