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

"But if I don't get an answer, won't I be unable to learn the Blade of Light from you, Kyrie Isuki?"

The Shirou Reberias family's goal is to learn the Light Blade from Kyrie Il and thus reach a higher level of the Sword God Style.

Now that Giren has made such an incomprehensible request, Shirou naturally cannot accept it easily.

"But that's my requirement."

Kyrie Irvine showed unprecedented firmness on this matter, saying, "I believe that doing this is a good thing for you, Shirou, because you are clearly not someone who is content with simply learning the Blade of Light and becoming an ordinary swordsman, are you?"

"This……"

Shirou pondered for a moment upon hearing Kyrie Irwin's words, and ultimately chose to agree.

He certainly didn't embark on this path just to learn the Blade of Light and become a Sword Saint.

For him, only by reaching the realm above Sword Saint, or even the most supreme realm, could he possibly surpass the limits of Heroic Spirit Emiya and achieve his own power!

“I understand. I will work hard to study this problem, Kyrie Irvine.”

"Ah."

Due to Kyrie's request, Shirou was unable to address him as "teacher," but he already regarded him as his master in his heart.

Shirou then continued practicing his swordsmanship at the training ground.

Although Giren doesn't teach him swordsmanship, Shirou can practice swordsmanship on his own. Most importantly, he needs to figure out Giren's answer to the question he posed.

What exactly does the so-called sword refer to?

However, even after practicing swordsmanship for an entire morning at the training ground, Shirou still couldn't get a clear answer.

He had no choice but to leave the training ground and head to one of the Boreas family's mansions with his weapons.

"Bang! Bang!"

Shirou knocked on the door, expecting a response only after a while.

Unexpectedly, the door was opened quickly, and the red-haired girl Alice walked out as if she had been prepared all along, holding a wooden sword used for training.

"what?"

"What are you all standing there for? Aren't you going to practice your swordsmanship?"

"..."

Alice's unusual initiative to speak left Shirou somewhat at a loss for words.

Because he never expected that Alice would be so proactive in swordsmanship training, especially so frank.

It's fair to say that before yesterday, Alice was still full of hostility towards him, and her gaze towards him was filled with disgust.

This sudden change has made Shirou wonder if he's dreaming.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was the eldest daughter of the Boreas family, he would have even wanted to retort, "Can you please revert to your old ways? I'm still used to your unruly attitude."

Of course, he would never say such a thing, and he took Alice to the Boreas family's training ground.

"Then, let's do a simple warm-up first."

Shirou trained Alice exactly as Paul had trained him.

He thought the other party would resist slightly, or at least argue with him, but to his surprise, the red-haired girl was incredibly obedient and followed him very well to warm up before training.

Could this young lady have been switched at birth?

Shirou couldn't help but have this thought, and after observing for a long time, he had to confirm that Alice might really have become more compliant than before.

But he couldn't find any reason at all; at least he didn't think he had done anything that would warrant such a change in Alice's attitude.

However, although Shirou himself was unaware of it, in Alice's heart, Shirou's position had gradually changed, and now he was someone she neither liked nor disliked.

After all, when Thomas kidnapped her, Shirou had stepped forward and not only exchanged hostages but also swiftly killed Thomas with a single sword strike, injuring himself in the process.

Later, Shirou's cooking was also very delicious, and it can be said that he completely won her over. Not to mention that Shirou kindly shared half of his own cooking with Alice.

With so many gentle gestures, even if Alice still harbored a lot of resentment towards Shirou, it was completely melted away, like an iceberg enveloped by the sun.

Of course, Alice still didn't really like Shirou.

The reason wasn't Shirou's personality, but simply the other person's appearance.

Alice always felt that Shirou looked too plain, and his usual attitude was always very respectful, without any imposing manner, which made people uncomfortable.

Conversely, Alice really liked the man named Emiya that she met when she was kidnapped that night.

Not only does he possess a strong physique and a sharp aura, but his personality and attitude are also like a sharp spear, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

As the saying goes, people always have an instinct to admire strength. Alice, a child who was subtly influenced by her grandfather, Sauros, from a young age, especially admired upright and strong men.

Shirou, in comparison, is far too plain.

Not to mention compared to Emiya, even her original master, Kyrie Irwin, looked ten thousand times stronger.

Of course, Alice now understands that Shirou, this unassuming guy, actually has many strengths, especially his excellent cooking skills, which are enough to earn him a lot of points.

Therefore, even if such a person were to become her teacher, Alice no longer felt much dissatisfaction.

So, Shirou had an incredibly smooth warm-up.

It wasn't until the next phase of training was about to begin, and Alice looked at him with intense eyes, that he snapped out of his daze and hurriedly began the next phase of training.

According to Paul's training method, after warming up, they would practice against each other.

A sword is a weapon for killing, so its value can only be realized through its interaction with people.

You can never create a truly powerful sword by simply swinging it in the air.

This was Paul's idea, and also Emiya's idea. Both of them were pure pragmatists who cared more about improving their strength in battle.

Shirou had previously agreed with this, but now, with Kyrie Irving making a request, he instinctively began to question whether this kind of improved swordsmanship was truly swordsmanship.

Unable to find an answer, he could only put it aside for the time being and said to Alice, "Pick up your weapon and attack me with all your might."

"Are you sure you can really use your full strength? I might accidentally knock you down, you know?"

Alice picked up the wooden sword and looked at Shirou with a rather unrestrained air.

She was clearly very confident in her swordsmanship. Although she had never been willing to seriously study swordsmanship due to her personality, her talent was quite remarkable.

As a novice swordsman, even without formal training, Alice's combat instincts alone are enough to defeat an average intermediate swordsman.

This is also why she became increasingly arrogant, to the point that she was completely unwilling to accept formal training.

Shirou didn't seem to care about Alice's confidence. With a calm smile on his face, he slowly said, "If you're confident, you're welcome to give it a try."

"..."

Alice curled her lip at Shirou's attitude.

Although she no longer disliked Shirou and was even grateful for his previous help, she didn't think Shirou was anything special.

Although I didn't manage to hit Shirou at all on the day we first met, it was only because I eventually ran out of energy.

If he had just a little more energy, Shirou would already have fist marks on his face!

So, as if to avenge that arrow wound, Alice became incredibly serious. Her steps almost sank into the mud, and she held the wooden sword in her hand high like a club.

"ha!!!"

In an instant, the girl vanished from her spot like a red gust of wind.

Shirou couldn't help but sigh, Alice truly had a talent for swordsmanship; her swordsmanship, relying purely on instinct, was already comparable to that of a swordsman who had been tempered a thousand times.

However, Shirou's sword is not just forged through countless trials, but rather the martial arts that Emiya, the Heroic Spirit, honed through countless bloody battles.

Even without using Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, he could easily withstand Alice's attack on his own.

"Snapped!"

The wooden swords made a crisp sound when they clashed together.

Shirou effortlessly parried Alice's attack, but this nonchalant attitude undoubtedly ignited the girl's competitive spirit.

In an instant, she transformed into a wild beast, and Asashiro launched a fierce attack!

Chapter 116 Shirou becomes a blacksmith.

Alice's sword, like her fiery red hair, is full of ferocity and intensity, and every move she makes exudes a strong sense of oppression.

If an opponent of equal skill were to face such swordsmanship, they would likely give up resisting after only a few exchanges, forced to expose numerous flaws by the overwhelmingly terrifying beastly aura, and ultimately suffer a helpless defeat.

In fact, when Alice practiced swordsmanship before, most of her peers were like this; there was no one who could fight her, let alone defeat her.

Even some adults with slightly better swordsmanship would be overwhelmed by Alice's unimaginable attacks and would eventually be defeated.

This gave Alice an extraordinary level of confidence in her swordsmanship. Even against Shirou, who looked a few years older than her, she didn't think she had any chance of losing.

"Snapped!"

"Bang!" "Smack!"

However, after clashing with Shirou for a while, Alice realized something was wrong.

Unlike any opponent he had ever encountered before, Shirou's swordsmanship was less about swordsmanship and more about wielding a weapon and making corresponding movements.

His sword could accurately predict every move Alice made, allowing him to defend against it and even anticipate her actions.

No, I can't beat this guy like this!

Alice gradually sensed a hint of anxiety.

Her movements became increasingly frantic, attempting to launch surprise attacks on Shirou from all sorts of unexpected angles, but Shirou still managed to defend against them all perfectly.

"Snapped!"

The wooden sword in Shirou's hand was like a thick city wall, and no matter how hard Alice swung her sharp spear, she could not penetrate it.

In this extremely frustrating situation, Alice finally lost her temper completely. She suddenly took a step forward, and like a cheetah, she suddenly unleashed her full power.

"boom!"

In the next instant, she leaped into the air like a whirlwind, then performed an incredible spin, her long skirt billowing as she pounced on Shirou!

"Snapped!"

However, even with such fierce moves, Shirou easily parried them in the end.

Shirou didn't even have time to react. Without even gathering his fighting spirit, he easily blocked Alice's fierce attack with a single sword strike. With a movement that was almost like dissipating the force, he caused Alice to suddenly lose her balance due to inertia and fall to the ground.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The girl's bottom made intimate contact with the ground, and suddenly a sharp pain struck, causing her to let out a miserable howl.

"Is everything okay?"

Although Shirou expressed concern verbally, he did not offer any assistance in practice.

Because he had a deep understanding of Miss Alice's temperament, which can be described as classic "tough on the uptake, not gentle on the way". Being too friendly to her often would only make her feel more at ease, so it was better to use a harsher attitude to make her realize her mistake.

"Damn it! I'm not convinced! How can you dodge like that! Can't you fight me fair and square?!"

After Alice got up from the ground, she spoke angrily.

She was clearly very unhappy with Shirou's one-sided resistance, which left her unable to break through his defenses no matter what she did.

"A fair and square battle?"

Shirou couldn't help but laugh when he heard Alice's words. "Do you think your opponents on the battlefield would fight you so kindly and fairly? In fact, apart from the Sword God Style, the Northern God Style and the Water God Style are not fair fights. If you can't even accept this kind of thing, you shouldn't have thought about learning swordsmanship in the first place, because you will only ever encounter enemies you can't hit."

"This……"

Alice was speechless when she heard Shirou's words, but she was still indignant.

Shirou didn't seem to mind. He simply raised his wooden sword and assumed a fighting stance: "However, I am, after all, your swordsmanship teacher, and I still need to teach you the basics of the Sword God Style. So if you'd like, I can fight you head-on. Are you willing?"

“Come on!!”

Upon hearing Shirou's words, Alice's eyes lit up immediately.

The opponent's abnormal swordsmanship had made her feel uncomfortable all over, and now that Shirou was willing to fight her head-on, Alice was naturally eager to do so.

However, just as Alice made her move, before she could even react—

"Snapped!"

Shirou swung his wooden sword, which was imbued with astonishing fighting spirit.

The Silent Blade appeared before Alice in an instant at a speed that was almost impossible for the naked eye to follow and even for the instincts to catch up with!
