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

Almost the instant he was thinking, several water-based projectiles burst forth from Rudeus's hand.

This is not just a simple spell without chanting.

To conceal the pre-casting animation, the latter even pretended to be preparing for the action, successfully deceiving Shirou.

"Good boy!"

Shirou didn't think Rudeus's actions were cunning. That's how battles are; any means and techniques can be used, and victory is the only requirement!

Facing the incoming water projectiles, Shirou did not dodge. He gripped his longsword tightly with both hands and closed his eyes slightly.

"Snapped!"

When he opened his eyes again, Shirou had easily cleaved through Rudeus's water bullet and charged toward him at incredible speed.

The essence of the Sword God style is speed.

Shirou's current intermediate-level swordsmanship not only allows him to swing his sword quickly, but his reaction speed is also far superior to the speed of his sword swings.

Only by allowing the speed of the sword to transcend the limitations of thought can one create a truly divine sword.

"So fast……"

Rudeus was startled by Shirou's actions. It was the first time he had faced Shirou's swordsmanship directly, and he realized just how astonishing the pressure was on his brother's sword.

No wonder Paul has recently started to reduce the frequency of his sword practice with Shirou, worried that he might accidentally make a mistake and be defeated by Shirou, which would completely make him lose face as a father.

Now that Rudius has already started fighting, he will not give up so easily.

In fact, he is far from giving up!

"Water Wall!"

Rudeus waved his hand, creating a barrier of water to block Shirou, and immediately began preparing for the next high-level spell.

However, to his utter surprise, with a flash of sword light, Shirou directly cleaved through the water wall he had created with a single sword strike, easily destroying this intermediate-level magic!

"it's over!"

Shirou had no intention of holding back. He knew very well that once Rudeus used his Saint-level water magic, it would be something he couldn't handle. Therefore, the only way to win this battle was to seize every interval between attacks and not give his opponent time to prepare Saint-level magic.

Rudius, of course, knew that to achieve victory, he needed to buy himself time to unleash his Saint-level magic.

"Snapped!"

Shirou's longsword suddenly swung down, and with the enhancement of the Sword God Style, this sword was so fast that it was even faster than the naked eye could follow, like an astonishing beam of moonlight!

Shirou originally intended to stop at the crucial moment and halt his attack on Rudeus.

"Boom!"

But to his surprise, Rudeus, just as he was about to be hit, raised his hand and threw out a wind spell, using the force of the wind to make his body move in an incredible horizontal direction!

"Rock Cannonball!"

At the same time, Rudeus also unleashed his carefully prepared hybrid magic, using earth magic to create a spiral cone-shaped rock projectile, and then using wind magic to launch it directly!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Faced with three consecutive rock projectiles hurtling towards him, Shirou, relying solely on his swordsmanship of the Sword God Style, would certainly not be able to parry from three directions simultaneously.

Rudius was overjoyed at the sight, feeling that he was sure to win.

But as the saying goes, every setup is bound to have a reversal.

"Projection, start!"

Just as Rudeus's attack was about to hit Shirou, a second longsword suddenly materialized in Shirou's hand—

"puff!"

Shirou, wielding two weapons, unleashed a defensive swordsmanship reminiscent of the dual-wielding style with movements that defied description!

"Ding,"

"Ding,"

"Ding,"

Rudeus's three rock cannonballs were easily deflected by Shirou, and this time the latter did not hesitate at all, directly throwing a sword in his hand!

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound of the longsword sinking into the ground rang out.

Rudius broke out in a cold sweat.

He could clearly sense that if the battle just now had been a real fight, he would definitely be decapitated by now, pierced directly by that sharp blade.

"I lost."

Rudeus spoke with complete conviction. He had prepared two deadly moves: wind magic and rock cannonballs, hoping to overcome the opponent's strength and prove himself.

But now facts have proven that a younger brother will always be a younger brother.

He still has no chance of surpassing Shirou.

"No, you've done enough, Rudy."

Shirou shook his head. Rudeus's strength far exceeded his expectations. He had only intended to use the Sword God Style in this match and had not thought of revealing more.

Krudius's powerful abilities even forced him to use projection magic and the dual-wielding swordsmanship of the Heroic Spirit Emiya. He hadn't even used these techniques against Paul yet, intending to use them in a crucial moment in the future as killing moves to protect others.

This demonstrates just how formidable Rudeus's magical talent truly was.

Of course, the question now is not whether he or Rudeus is stronger. In fact, Shirou has never forced himself to become stronger because he cares about winning or losing.

He constantly strives to become stronger in order to protect the people he cares about.

Shirou immediately turned around and looked in Sylphie's direction, wanting to see how she would react after witnessing this wonderful battle of swordsmanship and magic, and hopefully she would develop an interest in swordsmanship or magic.

Unfortunately, Hilfi seemed unaffected by the battle, remaining silent with her head down, completely withdrawn.

Shirou sighed helplessly, realizing that a long-term plan was needed to resolve Sylphie's problem.

What Shirou didn't realize was that if he had observed Sylphie closely, he would have noticed a glimmer of light in the girl's eyes; those once dull eyes were now showing signs of emotion again...

Chapter 58: Rumors about the Demon Race and Shirou's Fury.

Upon discovering that Sylphie had not developed any interest in magic and swordsmanship because of his battle with Rudeus, Shirou was at a loss for what to do.

To rescue a person from their own inner isolation, it requires not only the help and rescue of outsiders, but also the belief of the person being rescued to save themselves.

However, this belief is destined not to be given by outsiders, and more likely it will require a specific opportunity.

Therefore, Shirou simply stopped doing anything special and just treated Sylphie in a normal and calm manner, going about his own business.

One day, Shirou was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard.

He spends a lot of time practicing the Sword God Style every day. Although his progress is quite poor, as Shirou himself doesn't have much talent for the Sword God Style, his steady efforts have allowed him to gradually make breakthroughs in the Sword God Style, and his swordsmanship foundation has become increasingly solid.

As he continued to swing his sword, sheath it, swing his sword, sheath it... in a near-repetitive motion, he suddenly noticed Silphi's figure walking out of the house.

The girl seemed embarrassed to arrive at the scene. Instead of disturbing Shirou directly, she sat quietly in the corner of the yard, watching him discreetly.

"..."

Shirou didn't know what Sylphie meant, and didn't know how to speak directly, so he chose to continue practicing his swordsmanship on his own.

After he finished practicing his swordsmanship, he turned around and found that Hilfi had disappeared without a trace.

"What does she mean?"

Shirou was puzzled as to why Sylphie would specifically choose to come find him when he was practicing swordsmanship, and he couldn't understand her thoughts at all.

With so many things to do every day, Shirou couldn't pay too much attention to Sylphie's condition and instead began studying magic and patrolling the village.

The next day, Shirou resumed his swordsmanship practice in the courtyard at the same time.

As he swung his sword, he noticed that Sylphie had once again quietly crouched at the edge of the courtyard, silently watching him.

This cycle continued until the fourth day. Shirou finally couldn't resist anymore. While swinging his sword, he couldn't help but look at Sylphie and walked straight over to her.

"That, that..."

Hilfi seemed surprised to be discovered and stood there flustered, as if worried about being scolded by Shirou.

Shirou didn't scold her; instead, he patted the girl's head.

"Silphie, do you want to learn swordsmanship from me?"

For several days in a row, Sylphie came to watch him practice swordsmanship. Even though Shirou was clumsy, he gradually came to understand Sylphie's thoughts.

Sylphie, however, hadn't expected Shirou to see through her thoughts so easily, and she was suddenly thrown into a state of great turmoil. But she seemed to have been considering this for a long time, and now she suddenly made up her mind, saying, "Yeah, that battle was really cool. I... I want to fight like you guys..."

"That's it."

Unexpectedly, her original plan actually worked, sparking Hilfi's interest in swordsmanship and magic.

Shirou was both surprised and pleased by this.

As long as Silphie is willing to learn magic or swordsmanship and spend her time on something meaningful, even if she continues to be as withdrawn as before, there shouldn't be any problems.

Without delay, he immediately summoned Rudius, and the three of them gathered in the courtyard.

"Is Silph planning to learn swordsmanship?"

Rudeus was quite surprised by Shirou's explanation. "He looks so thin, how can he wield a sword?"

"This……"

Shirou also realized the problem after hearing Rudeus's words.

While women are not incapable of becoming swordsmen, the difference in physical abilities still puts most women at a natural disadvantage in swordsmanship, unless they are exceptionally talented or possess the corresponding abilities, like the Saber Heroic Spirit in Emiya's memories...

Shirou carefully observed Sylphie and felt that she didn't seem to have any talent for swordsmanship at all.

On the contrary, as Roltz's daughter, she has elven blood and may have a high level of magical skill.

“Sylphie, would you like to learn magic from Rudeus? Swordsmanship might not be suitable for you.”

After careful consideration, Shirou offered his opinion.

"Can't I learn swordsmanship?"

Seeing this, Hilfi felt inexplicably disappointed. After witnessing Shirou's battle with Rudeus that day, she was clearly more interested in Shirou's swordsmanship and did not have such a strong desire for magic.

"Are you looking down on my magic?!"

Rudeus couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Sylphie's attitude. "Although I couldn't beat Shirou before, that was only because Shirou was too strong. If I encountered an ordinary swordsman, my magic could easily send him flying!"

"Woo..."

Rudeus's attitude was so arrogant that Sylphie was startled and shrank behind Shirou.

This further fueled Rudeus's dissatisfaction. He never expected that this brat who had come all this way would act even closer to Shirou than his own brother, truly turning the tables on the gods.

Shirou was unaware of the struggle between the two children. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "In that case, why don't you learn swordsmanship and magic from both me and Rudeus at the same time, and focus on learning whichever side you perform better in?"

"This is...ok."

Hilfi nodded.

Rudeus, however, remained dissatisfied and complained, "How could this kind of guy possibly be suited to learn magic? He looks so weak. He should go learn how to do housework from Ms. Lilia."

"you……"

Sylphie was angered by Rudeus's words, and even tears welled up in her eyes.

This reaction startled Rudius; his previously arrogant attitude vanished instantly, replaced by a look of panic.

"Why, why did you suddenly start crying? Did I say anything?"

Rudeus looked at Shirou with a completely broken expression, clearly at a loss for what to do.

Shirou laughed when he saw this. He didn't think that Sylphie crying was a bad thing at all. On the contrary, her emotional behavior showed that she was gradually opening up to them and coming out of her self-isolation.

……

In the following period, Silphie formally began learning swordsmanship and magic from Shirou and Rudeus.

Since Loki had only been gone for less than half a year, Shirou and Rudeus had maintained their previous routine.

They used this time to teach Silphi the basics of swordsmanship and magic.
