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

From the feet to the edge of the horizon, it was all grassland.

Mountains can be vaguely seen in the distance.

"This is good enough."

Luo Qixi checked her surroundings, stopped beside a lone tree, dismounted, and tied the reins to the tree.

Shirou carefully dismounted and carried Rudeus down with him.

"What are we going to do?"

In response to Shirou's question, Loki slowly said, "Because it's the graduation exam, I need you to demonstrate your best magic for me, the higher the level, the better."

"I see."

Use your best magic.

This is undoubtedly the content of the graduation exam.

Rudeus looked very confident, clearly having prepared his strongest magic beforehand, which would undoubtedly be an unbelievable ability.

Although Shirou himself was prepared, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat Rudeus in terms of magic level.

But he also possessed his own confidence and showed no sign of panic.

"Well then... Rudeus, you go first."

As Loki finished speaking, Rudeus nodded.

The five-year-old boy held a small staff, raised his hands toward the sky, and unlike before when he never chanted, Rudeus chose to chant this time.

"O majestic water spirit, Prince of the Thunder Emperor ascending to the sky!"

"Grant my wish, bring a ferocious boon, and let the dwarf beings witness your power!"

"Strike the anvil with God's hammer, show your awesomeness, and let the flood cover the entire earth!"

"Oh, rain! Wash away everything, drive away everything!"

"Thunderclouds!"

As Rudeus clearly and slowly recited each word of the incantation.

The moment the chant ended, the surroundings darkened in an instant, and after a few seconds, a torrential downpour began, as if a whole basin of water had been poured down.

A terrifying storm swept around, with lightning flashing through the dark clouds.

Amidst the torrential downpour resembling a waterfall, a purple light flashed through the layers, accompanied by a thunderous roar.

The lightning in the clouds gradually intensified.

Then it expanded more and more, as if light itself had weight—

—Finally, it cleaves downwards.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck straight down, heading directly towards Luo Qixi.

"what!"

Because it was such an unexpected situation, Luo Qixi didn't even have time to react, and watched helplessly as lightning struck her!

"careful!"

However, just before the lightning struck, a shield made of rock suddenly appeared and blocked Loki's path.

Shirou used earth magic to create a shield that blocked the lightning and also protected Loki with his own body.

"Teacher, are you alright?"

Rudeus looked over in alarm; in his panic, he even stopped maintaining his magic.

The clouds vanished instantly.

The thunder and rain stopped immediately.

"I-I'm fine."

Luo Qixi spoke in a flustered manner. She did not have any external injuries, but her face was inexplicably flushed, and her emotions were somewhat out of control.

But she eventually recovered and looked at Shirou with surprise, as well as at the rock shield that had disappeared at some point.

"That was just now..."

Loki seemed quite surprised by the magic Shirou used.

In fact, Shirou's speed in activating the magic was quite fast, even faster than a normal spell without incantation.

Although she couldn't understand, she knew everything would be revealed soon, so she looked at Rudius and slowly spoke:

"Rudy, you've passed."

"But I almost hurt the teacher by accident just now."

"Water Saint-level magic can never be fully controlled or mastered. I think this experience will make you realize the dangers of magic. Don't use such powerful magic in crowded places in the future."

"I, I understand..."

Seeing Rudeus nod, Loki smiled with satisfaction: "Well, congratulations, Rude, you have officially become a Water Saint."

"Ok!"

Rudius smiled happily. Having accomplished nothing in his previous life, he had finally achieved something that made him feel accomplished, which undoubtedly made him happy from the bottom of his heart.

At the same time, Loki looked at Shirou with curiosity and anticipation:

"Then, Shirou, it's your turn to demonstrate your magic."

Chapter 49 Sword Hill!

"Is it my turn?"

Upon hearing Loki's words, Shirou couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Rudeus just unleashed a water-level spell—the Thunderous Rain Cloud—which directly altered the weather across the entire sky.

Such an exaggerated scene undoubtedly put tremendous pressure on him, the older brother.

Although Shirou himself did not intend to specialize in magic, he could fully understand just how exaggerated the power of Saint-level magic was.

He could clearly sense the huge gap in talent between them.

In fact, Shirou Emiya was no stranger to the feeling of this talent gap. In both Shirou Emiya's own memory and in the memories of the Heroic Spirit Shirou, they were always the representatives of mortals, constantly looking up to those geniuses who could not be understood by common sense, chasing after the shadow of geniuses.

Leaving aside Shirou Emiya himself, his life can be described as full of setbacks. It wasn't until that snowy night, when he received the grace of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, that he achieved his only victory.

Even though he seems to have reached the pinnacle of his ideals and become the Heroic Spirit Emiya Shirou envisioned, his life is often accompanied by endless setbacks and disappointments.

During his journey to the Clock Tower for further studies, the Heroic Spirit Emiya clearly felt the distance between himself and genius magicians and magi from prestigious families.

As a mortal, he never managed to catch up with those geniuses in the realm of magic throughout his life.

However, Emiya did not give up the struggle, nor did he ever abandon his training in magic because of objective differences.

On the contrary, the Heroic Spirit Emiya spent his entire life, even risking his entire existence, to finally reach the pinnacle of his skills after death, and created Unlimited Blade Works, a Reality Marble that even a genius magician could not create, thus creating true great magic.

While ordinary people may lack talent and ability, they can still achieve extraordinary miracles by casting aside all confusion and doubt and retaining only pure persistence.

"call."

Shirou slowly took a deep breath, met the gazes of Loki and Rudeus, walked to the deserted wilderness, and then closed his eyes.

He was sensing the meaning of the elements in his subconscious.

Unlike magic, the magic in this world is a pure elemental construct. Magicians cast spells by capturing and controlling elements.

Although Shirou had made ample preparations beforehand, even going without much sleep for several days, all for today's magic demonstration, he knew he didn't have much magical talent and couldn't possibly unleash a Water Saint-level spell like Rudeus.

Therefore, Shirou could only use his own methods, half-baked and opportunistic means, to achieve his own magic.

Just like he has done in the past, he will try to make things as ugly as possible, no matter what method he uses.

"!!"

Shirou raised his right hand, but did not begin chanting a spell.

In the past, even when Shirou used basic earth magic, he still had to perform basic spell incantations, and he couldn't do spells without incantations like Rudeus.

But at this moment, he truly did perform magic without chanting.

Regardless of how Shirou did it, after he stared into the void, the surrounding earth did indeed begin to tremble strangely, and the earth and rocks began to resonate to a certain extent.

Loki and Rudeus quickly determined that it was a mid-level spell.

Although it is a spell without chanting, its casting speed, range of influence, and elemental strength are far inferior to Rudeus's water-level spell.

Shirou's magic is that of a mortal; anyone can see this sad fact at a glance.

However, although both Loki and Rudeus were somewhat disappointed, Shirou himself did not seem to be shaken by the fact that his magic was too simple.

He simply continued to maintain his intermediate level of earth magic, like a clumsy painter using the simplest of brushes to sketch his own picture.

And so he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his creative work.

Several minutes passed slowly, and Shirou's earth magic continued to maintain its pure resonance, without the appearance of massive earthen walls or exaggerated rock spears.

The earth tremors were slight and maintained a certain rhythm, which was rather uninteresting.

Just as Rudeus and Loki both harbored a hint of disappointment, feeling that Shirou's magical talent might truly have reached its limit and could not progress any further—

"I am the bone of my sword!"

Suddenly, a familiar chant appeared from Shirou's mouth.

It was still just the first line of the Unlimited Blade Works chant; Shirou's abilities were still insufficient for him to recite the entire Unlimited Blade Works verse.

But only for the instant that the chant ended!

"Snapped!"

It was like the sound of an army's command rising, and like the solemn sound of clashing swords and galloping horses falling to the end!

Amidst the tremors of the earth, large amounts of soil suddenly floated into the air and rapidly changed, transforming into a solidified form.

It was as if countless swords covered the entire space and enveloped everything!

"How could it be so fast?!"

Seeing so many blades suddenly take shape, Rudeus's eyes widened, finding it hard to believe how fast the construction could be.

That's not something like an earthen wall or shield; the form of a sword is far more complex than those things, and it's not something that can be easily copied.

"It's because it's been exposed to water!" Loki saw more than Rudeus. "Because of the water-based holy magic you just released, Rudeus, the soil became soft and loose, which is why the sword's forging was completed so quickly."

Of course, even so, it cannot explain why so many swords could be constructed so quickly.

Shirou probably possesses a talent for sword design that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

However, merely constructing the shape of a sword is of no use.

Even though countless swords were created, they were ultimately just rock swords made of soil. Earth swords lack offensive capabilities, and earth magic should be synonymous with defense.

However, the reality far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Suddenly, a raging fire broke out in the previously empty space. The flames were like forging ordinary earthen swords, and after the rock blades were scorched by the fire, the soil that had covered the surface cracked and exposed the sharp shape underneath.

"!!!"

Countless blades enveloped the scene.

The sharp blades possess an indescribable piercing power; even a powerful magical beast would likely be completely pierced if it were surrounded by so many blades.

However, there was no such enemy present at the scene.

Therefore, Shirou did not launch all the swords directly, but controlled all the blades, keeping the sword tips pointing downwards!

"Zheng!"

Like a thousand buzzing sounds.

Numerous sword blades were stuck straight into the ground.

What was once a barren wasteland has somehow transformed into a hill covered with countless sword blades!

Chapter 50 Sword Magic

Shirou used the power of magic to create a mound covered with the Infinite Sword.
