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

"You're just saying that..."

"Really? Then I can just leave you here and go, okay?"

Shirou spoke without pausing for a moment, then turned and walked out of the room.

Seeing the man walk away without turning back, Alice finally showed no sign of displeasure and hurriedly said, "Wait, wait a minute... I, I'll consider it..."

"Consider? Heh, it seems you still don't understand your situation. I'm not your parent or your teacher, and I have no obligation to take care of you."

Shirou spoke coldly.

His words seemed to strike a nerve with Alice, making her realize that she was indeed in dire straits, with no family members she knew and no guards like Gilead to protect her.

Therefore, under such circumstances, she had no choice but to trust the man in front of her.

Even if all of this was orchestrated by the other party, a conspiracy to deceive her into signing such an unreasonable agreement, she had no choice but to take a desperate gamble.

"I, I understand..."

Alice gritted her teeth and spoke, as if she had just experienced a great deal of humiliation, and her self-esteem and pride had been completely shattered at this moment.

"Then, you shall sign this contract."

Shirou tossed the self-compulsion certificate over.

He wasn't worried that Alice wouldn't sign the contract, because she had no other choice at the moment. When people are in dire straits, they will instinctively grasp at the only straw that is left, without considering whether that straw represents true hope or a deeper level of despair.

Of course, Shirou wasn't so evil as to treat Alice like a slave and use her at will after she signed the self-compulsion certificate.

He wasn't that kind of demon, nor did he have any interest in doing such a thing.

He did all this just to make Alice understand that there are no benefits or kindness without a reason in the world.

All kindness and gentleness come at a price.

If you take other people's kindness for granted, you will suffer endless hardships sooner or later.

Because the Boreas family cannot protect the other party for a lifetime.

"That, that..."

After receiving the paper and pen projected by Shirou, Alice suddenly fell silent, her hand pausing at the signature area without moving.

Shirou frowned upon seeing this, thinking that the other party had not yet given in, and said coldly, "What? Do you still think I'm lying to you? Putting aside whether it's necessary or not, even if I were a liar, do you think you have a choice right now?"

"No... I'm not."

Alice panicked, as if worried that Shirou would misunderstand, and quickly explained, "I, I just don't know how to write my own name, I, I can't read..."

"You can't read?"

Shirou was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that this spoiled young lady with such a terrible personality would have such a huge flaw.

They can't even read.

Is this girl really considered an aristocrat?

Seeing Alice's extremely unwilling expression, her face flushed red, and her expression so humiliated that she was about to cry, Shirou realized that she was not lying and sighed helplessly.

In any case, Alice's current behavior is completely different from before.

The fear and anxiety on his face were a stark contrast to his appearance when he was beating people.

She now realizes that no one is immune to difficulties, and how one struggles to survive in adversity is determined by the skills and experience accumulated over time.

She can't even write properly; she's just a useless person who has nothing but the status of a rich young lady.

"Hey, bring me a pen, I'll teach you how to write."

Shirou has a remarkable ability when it comes to languages: he can understand any language in the world without any conditions.

This meant that when he first arrived, he almost immediately integrated into the Greirat family's life without being troubled by some basic issues.

However, all of this was only resolved in terms of language. When it came to writing, Shirou was actually unable to understand all the characters.

Before he had even begun to study, he was completely ignorant about the written language of this world.

So while he was at the Grerat family's house, he not only learned magic from Lokishi, but also most of the common languages ​​used in this world.

Perhaps it was because of Lokishi's exceptional teaching ability, or perhaps it was because Shirou was exceptionally talented; in any case, he mastered the common script used by both humans and demons in a very short time.

Therefore, given Alice's current predicament of not being able to write her name, Shirou can easily help her by writing it.

“Alice Bereas Grerat, remember this, that’s how you spell your name.”

"I understand."

"Once a contract is signed, it cannot be broken. Otherwise, I can guarantee that it won't be anything interesting."

Shirou spoke as coldly as possible, then used magic to heal the other's injuries.

Whether it's magic or the magic of this world, Shirou has mastered basic healing techniques.

He learned magic from a professional magician when he went to the Clock Tower with Rin Tohsaka, while he learned sorcery from Senis at home after he came to this world.

While it's impossible to completely heal the other person's injuries, it can certainly help heal ordinary wounds.

However, Alice was beaten so badly that some of her ribs were broken, not to mention she also suffered serious internal injuries.

Shirou's rudimentary healing magic was clearly incapable of completely healing the opponent.

He watched as Alice finished signing the self-mandatory certificate, then put the text in his pocket to ensure that the original body would not be lost.

Alice, after signing the contract, felt a sharp pain in her soul and realized that she could no longer disobey this man.

Despite being mentally prepared, when it all happened, an overwhelming fear instinctively spread from her heart.

Because she couldn't guarantee what the man in front of her would do to her; it was completely beyond her imagination.

"Then let's go."

Shirou noticed Alice's fear, but he had no intention of comforting her. After all, his purpose from the beginning was to wear down her arrogance and sharpness, which was why he had done so much.

Right now, he simply picked up Alice casually. After the dream summoning, his tall stature, comparable to that of the Heroic Spirit Emiya himself, was enough to gently embrace Alice.

"You, what are you going to do?"

This was the first time Alice had been treated like this by a man, and even though she was only a nine-year-old child, she instinctively felt a mix of complex emotions.

A mix of inner fear and strange feelings coexisted.

Shirou replied frankly, "What for? Of course, to get you away from here."

"Leave, depart?"

Alice paused for a moment, not understanding the meaning of the other person's words.

What followed was unbelievable to her: Shirou put one arm around her and pushed open the cell door with the other.

The door, which was locked by one party, was like a fragile plank in Shirou's hands, easily overturned with a push.

"Boom!"

The loud noise attracted the attention of all the kidnappers in the hideout.

The kidnappers were all startled, and at the same time, they all showed angry expressions as they looked at the intruder who had suddenly appeared!

Chapter 104 The First Battle in Heroic Spirit Form.

Shirou carried Alice out of the cell with one arm, making no attempt to hide himself and exposing himself to the numerous kidnappers.

The most panicked person at this sight was not the kidnappers who had hurriedly gathered, but Alice, who had been forcibly dragged out by Shirou.

The red-haired young lady was completely dumbfounded, staring in disbelief as she exclaimed, "What, what are you doing? This will just make them discover us!"

"Isn't it a good thing that you found out?"

"You clearly said you were going to rescue me!"

Alice's eyes widened. She thought Shirou was just deceiving her and that he was actually in cahoots with the kidnappers.

At this point, Shirou was too lazy to explain further, because his goal was not only to rescue Alice, but also to take down all the kidnappers!

Justice means helping the weak and punishing the wicked.

Now that he has rescued Alice and accomplished the first goal, he naturally has to achieve the second goal: to bring these kidnappers to justice.

In a sense, this was also Shirou considering testing his control over the power of the Heroic Spirits.

Since that snowy night, he has hardly used the power from the Heroic Spirit Emiya. He wonders if he can still use the power of the Heroic Spirits as freely as he did that night, when he swept through the Holy Grail War in one night.

"Hey, where did you come from?!"

At the same time, the kidnappers also surged in from a distance.

There were about six kidnappers here, all of them disheveled and looking like outlaws who often licked blood from the sword.

When they saw Shirou appear, they were first shocked, finding it hard to imagine how he had sneaked into the cell and smashed open the sturdy door with his bare hands.

However, when the kidnappers saw Shirou holding their prey, Alice, the young lady of the Boreas family, in his arms, they all revealed angry and fierce expressions.

After all, to the kidnappers, Alice was real money. If they sold this young lady of the Boreas family to their employer, they could make an unimaginable profit, enough for them to squander for the rest of their lives.

For the kidnappers, the fact that such a huge sum of money was taken away by a stranger was even more unacceptable than being killed.

So the kidnappers, without a second thought, grabbed their weapons and surrounded him from a distance, determined not to let Shirou leave with Alice.

"..."

Shirou, however, showed no intention of leaving.

Punishing evil criminals is, in his view, an unquestionable duty of justice.

Even if the kidnapped person wasn't Alice, the eldest daughter of the Boreas family, he would still step in and bring all the kidnappers to justice!

"Hold on tight!"

Shirou spoke silently to Alice in his arms, so that she could prepare in advance.

Before Alice could even react to what Shirou was about to do, she suddenly felt the surrounding environment begin to change at an incredibly rapid pace!

"Snapped!"

The wind lashed against her cheeks, and Alice even felt a strange sense of disorientation. She then discovered that Shirou had vanished from his spot and reappeared to the right of the kidnappers!

"What!?"

The kidnappers were even more incredulous.

They never expected that the man who suddenly appeared would be so fast, like a bolt of lightning. They could only see a few shadows and could not see his true face!

"Damn it!!"

One of the kidnappers, who was holding a throwing knife, had originally planned to observe for a while longer, but when he saw how quickly Shirou moved, he didn't have time to make a judgment and hurriedly threw the knife!

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Faced with these props flying in from afar, Shirou didn't have many thoughts and used his free hand to unfold the projection.

"Projection, start!"

In an instant, the familiar short sword Gan Jiang Mo Xie appeared in his right hand. Shirou didn't make any extra movements; with just a simple upward slash, he deflected the flying short sword.

He then charged directly at the kidnapper's face, slashing with his Gan Jiang and Mo Xie swords.

"Pfft."

Even though the attack didn't hit a vital spot, it still terrified the opponent so much that they fainted on the spot.

"How could it be so fast!"

Seeing Shirou instantly knock down one of his companions, the other kidnappers all wore expressions of disbelief.

To them, Shirou's movements were like lightning, or perhaps like those of a wild beast.

Even a swordsman of the Sword God style, who is supposed to be at the level of a Sword Saint, is only at this level!

In reality, Shirou's basic physical attributes under the projection of the Heroic Spirit Emiya far surpass those of the so-called Sword Saint. This is because the Sword Saint achieves his high speed through swordsmanship, while Shirou in his Heroic Spirit form achieves such high speed purely through his physical attributes.

In fact, his current strength is completely comparable to that of the Sword King, or even the Sword Emperor.

Of course, due to the limitations of the fake Heroic Spirit cards, Shirou's continuous combat time is definitely not as long as that of the real Sword King and Sword Emperor.

If he were to fight a being of that caliber head-on, it's highly likely that Shirou would lose his Dream Summon form due to excessive mana consumption before defeating his opponent, causing him to revert to his original form prematurely.
