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

The disciples of the Water God School seemed quite helpless. "There are only a limited number of strong disciples among us. It's impossible to assign an opponent to everyone, so we had no choice but to come up with the queuing system."

"...伵..."

After listening to the Water God Sect disciple's speech, Alice finally understood the current situation... No, how could that be!

Although Alice has been taught by Shirou to be much more patient than before, this is only in comparison to the Alice of the past. In reality, her patience is still extremely limited.

Upon hearing that she would have to wait in line for three days before she could challenge the champion, Alice refused to accept it and started making a scene.

"I don't care! I'm going to take on the challenge right now!!"

Faced with the uproar Alice erupted on the spot, all the Water God Swordsmen frowned, not to mention the adventurers who had come specifically to challenge her.

Seeing that Alice was about to clash with so many swordsmen, Shirou finally couldn't stand it anymore and decisively stepped in to defuse the situation.

"Alice, calm down. It's reasonable for them to ask us to line up."

Shirou tried his best to make Alice understand the current situation. Although he didn't know if he could do it, he at least wanted to try.

However, his intervention, while failing to make Alice accept reality, produced an unexpected effect.

Since most of the people present were adventurers and swordsmen from all over the kingdom, there were naturally quite a few adventurers who came from the territory of Fituia.

They had vaguely felt that Shirou looked familiar when they first saw him, and now that Shirou had taken the initiative to come forward, many adventurers were completely surprised.

"Red hair, and a strand of white hair on your forehead—could you be the dragon slayer of Buyena Village?!"

"What?"

Unexpectedly, someone would suddenly use such a strange title to address him, and Shirou immediately showed a strange expression.

As someone mentioned the title of "Dragon Slayer of Buena Village," more and more adventurers reacted, turning to look in shock.

The moment they saw Shirou, they immediately thought of that widely circulated rumor.

The Legend of the Young Dragon Slayer!

Chapter 123 A Clash of Feuds! Sword God Style VS Water God Style!

Adventurers from the Fituia territory recognized Shirou. They were originally from the Fituia territory, but they had heard about the reward for challenging the Water God School and came here to try their luck, or perhaps they were really confident in their own strength.

These adventurers' swordsmanship is generally of the Northern God style, or they don't even have a school of swordsmanship, but are self-taught in actual combat.

As practical fighters, they believed their skill level was no weaker than the two strongest sword styles, the Sword God Style and the Water God Style, and that they were at least not without a chance of winning.

However, over several days, swordsmen from all over the kingdom tried to challenge the swordsmen of the Water God School, only to find that the gap between them was not huge, but at least there was a chasm.

The swordsmanship of the Water God School is not a swordsmanship developed in isolation, but rather a swordsmanship that has been accumulated through a large amount of actual combat and improved by generations of Water Gods over countless years.

The half-baked Hokami-ryu style that ordinary people learn is no match for a properly trained Mizukami-ryu master, let alone those swordsmen who haven't even received formal training and are purely self-taught.

After such a long time, many swordsmen have begun to lose heart, feeling that they have no chance of challenging the Water God Style.

Therefore, they no longer hoped to defeat the Water God Clan themselves, but instead hoped that someone else could complete the challenge for them and prevent the Water God Clan from continuing to be so arrogant.

However, no one has been able to meet this condition to this day.

Even the successor of the Sword God School, who rushed over upon hearing the news, was no match for the strongest young member of the Water God School, a girl with a demeanor comparable to the contemporary Water God, after attempting to challenge the school. She was defeated in just a few moves.

After the Sword God School's successor was defeated, he felt utterly humiliated and didn't linger at all; he went straight back to the Sword Holy Land to start training again.

Although the successor of the Sword God School was clearly not the strongest among the younger generation of the Sword God School, considering how quickly the battle ended, even the strongest among the younger generation of the Sword God School would probably not be a match for that girl.

Faced with such a tragic situation, the foreign swordsmen unknowingly began to share a common hatred for the enemy. They no longer pursued their own victory, but only hoped that someone could defeat the Water God School in their place, so that the Water God School members would not continue to be arrogant and even consider themselves invincible.

It was because of this thought that when the swordsmen from the territory of Fituia recognized Shirou, they immediately showed expectant expressions.

"That's right, he really does seem to be the dragon slayer from Buyena Village!"

"Although not many people witnessed it at the time, quite a few villagers from Buyena Village saw him slaughter the red dragon. It is said that the red dragon was no match for him and was instantly split into countless parts by him with a huge stone sword!"

"Yes, I happened to be there when the knights of Buena Village were selling the red dragon's body. At that time, the red dragon was almost completely cut into countless pieces, with hardly any intact parts left!"

"I didn't expect the dragon slayer from Buena Village to come here as well. It seems he also wants to challenge the Water God Style!"

"No, if he were a dragon slayer, he shouldn't be challenging the younger generation; he should be directly challenging the Water God... To be able to kill a red dragon, his strength should be at least at the Sword King level."

"Speaking of which swordsmanship school does the dragon slayer of Buyena Village belong to? According to the rumors, his swordsmanship seems to be different from traditional swordsmanship schools, more like the Northern Divine School... Could he already be a swordsman of the Northern King, or even the Northern Emperor level?"

"Speaking of which, isn't that girl next to him the daughter of the lord of the Fefitoa territory? So the dragon slayer of Buyena Village was indeed recruited by the Boreas clan?"

"..."

Suddenly, all sorts of disturbances arose from all directions.

After meeting Shirou, countless swordsmen couldn't help but discuss his past feats of slaying dragons, embellishing his heroic deeds in various ways.

Because the topic was so attractive, more and more swordsmen joined the discussion. Even the members of the Water God School looked at Shirou with curiosity, not expecting that this challenge would attract such a ruthless person!

As for the discussions among those around him, Shirou himself clearly did not expect such a thing to happen.

He only wanted to participate in the challenge as an ordinary swordsman and didn't want to attract too much attention from others, as that would put Alice in danger as well.

"Shirou, are you a dragon slayer?"

At the same time, Alice also overheard the conversations around her.

She glanced at the red-haired boy beside her with a suspicious look, a fleeting look of surprise crossing her face.

"..."

Shirou was somewhat at a loss regarding Alice's reaction, because he had not yet told her about his past slaying of a dragon.

The matter was kept extremely secret; apart from the villagers who were present at the time, only Gilead, Philip, and Sauros knew about it.

Shirou couldn't imagine how Alice would view him after learning all this.

Will they think they're a fraud?

While Shirou's heart wavered and even paused slightly, Alice displayed a calm expression, then slowly spoke in a loud tone: "What? How could such a rumor exist? Shirou, how could you possibly be a dragon slayer?"

"Alice?"

Shirou was momentarily speechless, not expecting the young lady to say such a thing.

Alice then spoke up on her own: "Shirou, you are the successor of the Sword God Style, a disciple of Kyrie Il, completely different from that person who used the Northern God Style to slay dragons, okay?"

"This……"

Shirou was slightly taken aback upon hearing Alice's words.

The swordsmen around Alice quickly became suspicious after hearing her words.

They glanced at Shirou, clearly doubting that such an unremarkable swordsman, who showed no distinguishing features, could be the legendary dragon slayer.

It's far from what I imagined.

Shirou is just an ordinary swordsman who only looks somewhat similar to the dragon slayer of Buena Village; this statement is clearly more in line with reality.

"Since even the eldest daughter of the Boreas family has said so..."

The adventurers quickly lost interest in Shirou.

After thinking about it for a while, they concluded that Shirou was definitely not the legendary dragon slayer, as they couldn't see anything special about him.

While the adventurers no longer paid attention to Shirou, the successors of the Water God School suddenly became much more concerned about his existence than before.

An older teacher named Mizukami Ryu suddenly walked over, looking down at Shirou with a serious expression.

"anything?"

Shirou didn't know what the other person was going to do, but he wasn't flustered at all. He just stared at the other person with a calm gaze.

His reaction impressed the teacher at the Suijin-ryu Dojo, but he quickly spoke up as well:

"Are you Gilead's disciple?"

"That's it."

Although Giren had no intention of acknowledging Shirou as his master, Shirou always regarded Giren as his swordsmanship teacher.

In fact, Gilead taught him more than Paul did, and was truly his mentor in swordsmanship.

"I didn't expect it to be Kyrie Irvine. Indeed, she seems to be working as a guard for the Boreas family now..."

The teacher of the Water God School seemed to care a lot about Kyrie Izumi. His gaze towards Shirou and Alice suddenly turned strange. "Are you two here to challenge us?"

"Of course!"

The person who answered was not Shirou, but Alice.

She was already impatient and didn't want to wait any longer, and was now showing an extremely impatient and fierce reaction.

Alice's attitude displeased the Water God School's teacher, but he did not lash out directly. Instead, he spoke quietly: "Since you are Kyrie's disciples, I allow you to challenge our dojo's disciples in advance. The rules are the same as everyone else's. As long as you defeat three people in a row, you will be qualified to challenge Izuru.

"Izoruti?!"

Upon hearing this familiar name, Shirou was taken aback.

The teacher of the Water God School did not care, because everyone in the capital knew that Izuru was the strongest among the disciples of the Water God School in this generation.

Only by defeating Izuruti can you fulfill the water god's request and receive the water god's reward.

While Shirou was filled with mixed emotions, never expecting that the girl he had met on the road was the greatest rival of the Water God Style, Alice had already rushed to the training ground of the dojo with great interest.

The swordsmen who came to challenge the dojo had lost much of their confidence, so even when Alice and Shirou forcibly cut in line, it didn't attract much attention.

The one who initiated the battle was undoubtedly Alice.

It wasn't just because she was too impatient and unwilling to wait, but also because Shirou deliberately let Alice go first so that he could spend enough time observing the movements of the Water God Style swordsmen.

"let's start."

Since it's a challenge, there are basically no strict rules.

All that's needed is for both sides to fight within the designated area and try to win.

The first person sent by the Water God Sect was a young disciple. They didn't take Alice seriously and didn't think there was anything about such a young girl that they should be wary of.

In particular, Alice's impatient attitude clearly indicates that she doesn't have any solid swordsmanship skills.

However, this disregard soon came at a price.

Because of Shirou's tutelage, Alice's swordsmanship has been honed considerably, and she is no longer the beast who fights purely on instinct.

Therefore, although the swordsmen sent by the Water God School were of similar skill level to Alice, both being beginners, their basic swordsmanship was comparable. However, in terms of pure combat instinct, Alice was clearly superior.

"Snapped!"

As the Water God Swordsman was punched away by Alice, he was sent flying off the field.

The first battle ended in Alice's victory.

The disciples of the Water God Sect, who had been so confident, suddenly fell silent.

Chapter 124 The Arrival of Izuru!

"Is this the successor of Kyrie Irvine? His swordsmanship is exactly the same as that guy's."

The middle-aged Water God Master's gaze was obscure, and the moment he looked at Alice, it could even be said that he revealed a hint of complexity and panic.

There was no way around it; the shadow that Kyrie Irgen had cast on the Water God School back then was simply too strong.

Unlike today, when there is the brand name Izuru, the younger generation of the Water God School at that time were generally mediocre in strength.

However, since the Water God Sect is located in the capital, its disciples often associate with royalty and nobles, and their vision and self-esteem are far higher than those of ordinary people.

Therefore, when faced with the challenge from Gilead, they were generally united in their hatred of the enemy, and even somewhat disdainful.

But they soon paid the price for their contempt.

Although Kyrie Ion's swordsmanship was only average, the girl's beast-like movements left the disciples of the Water God School completely unable to defend themselves.

Even the strongest of the younger generation are nothing more than toys in the face of Kyrie Irvine's terrifying swordsmanship.

In the end, since none of her disciples could defeat him, the current water goddess Lydia had to take matters into her own hands and use the ultimate technique of the Water God Style to give Kyrie Illya a thorough beating.

However, this can essentially be considered a victory for Gilead, because among his peers, there is almost no one stronger than Gilead.

Because of that battle, the Sword God School can be said to have completely established itself as the world's number one school of swordsmanship.

Before leaving, the sword god left a sword mark full of sword intent at the Water God School dojo, in high spirits, to mock the Water God School's incompetence.

This matter seems to have been a long time ago, but it actually happened just over ten years ago. Although Kyrie Irwin no longer stayed with the Sword God School and joined the Black Wolf Fang to become an adventurer, he still left an indelible shadow on every disciple of the Water God School in that era.

Therefore, after learning that Shirou was a disciple of Kyrie Illusion, the teachers at the Suijin-ryu Dojo did not hesitate to allow him and Iris to challenge the dojo first.

As someone who had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Gilead, he hoped that his disciples could defeat Gilead's disciples in the disciple battle.
