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

If Shirou is simply a weakling with no skill, it would be unreasonable for him to suddenly have the opportunity to fight Isorti.

Immediately, various opinions arose at the scene. Whether they were disciples of the Water God School or adventurers from outside, they all questioned their teacher's decision.

"This……"

Feeling the doubts coming from all sides, the teacher of the Water God School also hesitated. He realized that his hasty decision seemed to be too ill-considered.

There was no other way, after all, the teacher of the Water God School was a real witness to the tragedy of Gilead, and had been tormented by the shadow of Gilead for so many years.

Now that they've finally seized a chance to redeem themselves, they naturally want to do everything in their power to accomplish it.

When he saw Izuru defeat Alice in an instant, he was so happy that he wanted to pop champagne to celebrate. However, he did not show it on the surface and tried his best to remain restrained.

In fact, he desperately wanted Isorti to defeat Shirou as soon as possible, to prove that his disciple was stronger than Kyrie's disciple.

It was because of this thought in his mind that the teacher of the Water God School made a hasty decision, and as a result, because he did not take the circumstances into account, it has now aroused the doubts of everyone.

"It seems I should challenge the disciples of the Water God School first."

Shirou saw the situation and sensed the distress of his teacher, Suijin-ryu. He then took the initiative to back down and offered to fight the Suijin-ryu disciples first.

"Shirou, with your strength, you don't need..."

Seeing this, Izoruti tried to deny it.

She was well aware of Shirou's strength; his posture when he captured the criminals was enough to prove his superior sword god style strength without a doubt.

But Shirou shook his head first, revealing a firm attitude.

“Strength needs to be proven. Since everyone wants to see me prove myself, I will prove it to them.”

Shirou spoke frankly.

He then completely ignored the reactions of others and went to the training ground alone with his wooden sword.

"..."

The person with the most complex emotions regarding Shirou's attitude was undoubtedly the teacher of the Suijin-ryu school. He never expected that Shirou would take responsibility for his mistake and give him a chance to resolve the problem.

Such a gentle attitude even made the middle-aged man feel a sense of approval.

He never expected that such an upright young man would be Kyrie's disciple. If given the chance, he would even like to recruit him into the Water God Stream.

Of course, before thinking about these things, he still needed to plan his battle with Shirou.

So, the teacher of the Water God Style quickly found a swordsman whose strength was around the intermediate level of the Water God Style. She was a woman who looked stronger than Izuru, and her broad arms would undoubtedly make her a powerful force when wielding the Water God Style.

"Please enlighten me."

Unlike Alice, Shirou did not immediately attack upon entering the stage. Instead, he made a gesture of deference, allowing his opponent to launch the first attack.

The woman from the Water God Sect looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and finally adopted an attack stance.

Although the Water God Style is a defensive swordsmanship, it still has offensive moves. Otherwise, if it only focuses on defense, it will inevitably encounter opponents it cannot handle.

Therefore, while the defensive techniques of the Water God Style are powerful, its offensive techniques are equally impressive!

"boom!"

As the woman gripped her longsword, she closed the distance with lightning speed.

The longsword in his hand was brought towards Shirou in a standard, almost horizontal, stance.

This is the swordsmanship of the Water God Style, a disciplined style designed to ensure that the sword is never out of hand in any environment or under any conditions, while also being able to reach all surrounding areas.

As long as a Water God Style swordsman is present, the fragile mages don't even need to worry about being ambushed, because the Water God Style swordsman's sword will always appear where they need it at the most crucial moment!

"sharp."

Seeing the woman's actions, Shirou nodded.

He could sense the unwavering will honed through countless trials in this swordsmanship; the opponent was undoubtedly the type who worked extremely hard, striving to master every move and technique to the fullest extent.

Shirou didn't dislike this hard-earned swordsmanship; in fact, he greatly respected it.

However, Shirou is also well aware that effort is often the easiest hurdle to overcome between swords.

Moreover, there is a world of difference between different efforts!

"Snapped!"

As the woman's sword was about to strike Shirou, the Water God's Flow technique was about to strike.

The sword in the latter's hand finally moved.

Although he was a step slower, Shirou's sword didn't slow down much at all. Instead, it arrived in front of his opponent in an instant with even greater speed!

"!!!"

The Water God Swordsman never expected Shirou to move so quickly, and hurriedly changed his weapon to parry.

Shirou had already anticipated this move.

Because through his observation, he has determined that the Water God School's moves are mainly based on defense and counterattack, and even when attacking head-on, they still advocate absolute defense.

Under normal circumstances, one's own sword could never touch the other's.

However, that's only under normal circumstances.

Shirou's swordsmanship has long transcended the realm of mortals. Even though the Water God Style swordsmanship is an absolute defense, he is fully capable of penetrating the defense and inserting it into the only weakness!

"Crack!"

To the astonishment of the woman from the Water God Sect, Shirou's sword suddenly changed direction the instant it was advancing.

His swordsmanship was as if it had suddenly flipped out of nowhere, changing direction abruptly in the instant he was moving straight ahead, and then swinging out at a completely unexpected angle!

"!!!"

Seeing that she was about to be hit by the longsword, the women of the Water God School instinctively closed their eyes.

To her confusion, the pain did not follow.

Just as Shirou's sword was about to touch her body, at an extremely close distance, it stopped and slowly withdrew like a gentle breeze.

"Accepted."

Shirou slowly spoke, indicating that he had won the battle.

The crowd remained completely silent.

Everything that just happened sounds slow, but it actually happened almost in an instant.

Shirou easily secured victory.

Moreover, besides winning, Shirou even stopped his attack at the last moment, which is enough to prove that everything in the battle was within his expectations.

There is a gap between the two sides that cannot be described by mere chasm.

"This……"

Seeing the battle just ended, the teacher of the Water God School suddenly felt anxious, as if he had won for the game.

He never expected that this disciple of Girenau would be so powerful, even giving him an indescribable sense of oppression.

Such strength clearly indicates that he has transcended the level of an ordinary swordsman; even Izuru would probably not be able to defeat him easily.

At the same time, Izuru was showing unprecedented excitement.

Although she knew Shirou was strong, she never expected him to be this strong, which even made her feel a thrill she had never experienced before.

Because in sword duels with her peers, she had never encountered an opponent as strong as Shirou.

Without any hesitation, Izuru took the wooden sword from the Water God Sect disciple beside her and charged forward.

"Didn't you want to take a tricycle?"

Shirou, seeing Isorti arrive, responded with some confusion.

"..."

The Water God School's teacher had not yet spoken, and the Water God School's disciples and numerous adventurers were currently speechless.

Because Shirou has just demonstrated his strength through his actions, which is on a completely different level from the others.

It seems that only Izuru Tei has the potential to fight him!

Therefore, Isorti eagerly raised her sword and assumed a fighting stance: "No need, Shirou, you have already proven your strength, I look forward to fighting you!"

"Ah."

Shirou nodded slowly. He was also looking forward to fighting Isorti, hoping to learn a higher level of swordsmanship from the clash with this Water God Style swordsman, and even figure out the question that Kyrie Irgen had given him.

Upon seeing this, all the adventurers and disciples of the Water God School showed expressions of concern.

Everyone turned their attention to the battle, eager to see a thrilling fight and a victory for their chosen side.

The adventurers undoubtedly supported Shirou, who had also come to challenge the dojo.

Needless to say, the people of the Water God Sect all hoped that Izoruti would win.

Even Alice couldn't help but look at Shirou, hoping that he could help her defeat Izuru and prove that the Sword God Style was not weaker than the Water God Style.

Shirou and Isorite each stood at one end of the training field.

After a brief silence, as if they were of one mind, they launched their attack at the same time and appeared within striking distance of each other in the blink of an eye!

"!!"

As a swordsman of the Sword God style, Shirou undoubtedly has an advantage in speed and can launch an attack first.

But he soon discovered that there was no weakness in Izuruti at all. The few weaknesses that existed were more like bait. Once he launched an attack, they would inevitably cause the opponent to parry and counterattack.

However, in a swordsman's duel, if one dares not take the initiative to attack, it means that one will never be able to win.

He had no choice but to swing this sword!

"Snapped!"

Shirou then swung his sword.

Everyone around was on tenterhooks.

After all, the scene of Izuru instantly killing Alice was still fresh in everyone's mind, and many people wondered if Shirou would follow in Alice's footsteps.

Unexpectedly, Shirou's sword did indeed hit Isorti, and it did not provoke a counterattack!

The disciples of the Water God School were very puzzled by this, not understanding why Izuru didn't launch a counterattack.

But only Izoruti herself knew that she wasn't without the ability to fight back, but rather that she was unable to fight back.

Shirou's swordsmanship was too tricky, and he actually found the only angle from which she could not make an effective counterattack. As a result, she took the attack for nothing but was unable to make any move!

Chapter 128 The Profound Meaning of the Water God Style.

Shirou successfully hit Izuru, without triggering a parry or counterattack from the Water God Style.

The reason he was able to do this was because Shirou saw through the biggest weakness of the Water God Style: it only focused on defense and lacked any intention to attack.

Although everyone in the world knows that the Water God School is a defensive school that is not good at launching attacks head-on, most people's understanding is only superficial. They have a rudimentary understanding of the Water God School and do not realize its fundamental behavioral logic and laws.

Furthermore, Shirou gained a clearer understanding of the true nature of the Water God Style.

In other words, the core technique of the Water God Style swordsmanship is not defense and counterattack, but absolute perception.

The reason why the successors of the Water God Style can counterattack the opponent's attack in any situation and parry the enemy's methods from various angles is not only because the Water God Style's moves are too unique, and every move can see through the opponent's reaction and make a counterattack.

This is somewhat similar to the Mind's Eye skill possessed by the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Both rely on experience and skill to react to and judge unknown moves, and can even anticipate the opponent's actions in advance to prepare a response.

However, the perception possessed by the Water God is completely different from the Mind's Eye possessed by the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

The former refers to the ability acquired little by little through complex training and systematic improvement. It is a vast knowledge base accumulated by generations of swordsmen of the Water God School. Later generations only need to continuously study and refine the contents of the knowledge base to be able to deal with most enemies and opponents in the world at the level of consciousness.

However, Emiya's Mind's Eye is something on a higher level than this kind of perception acquired through training. The skills he possesses come from the thousands and tens of thousands of battles he experienced as a Guardian, through endless killing, and are finally engraved on his soul.

Compared to the Water God Style, the Mind's Eye of the Heroic Spirit Emiya is clearly a higher-level ability. The Mind's Eye he uses can not only be used in battle, but it can also produce remarkable results when Shirou uses his bow and arrow.

In short, it was precisely because he possessed the superior skill of "Mind's Eye" that Shirou was able to see the biggest flaw in Isorite's Water God Style at a glance.

Because Isoru and other disciples of the Water God Style generally acquire their extraordinary perception by systematically studying the knowledge and skills imparted by their predecessors, their thinking is unconsciously covered by the knowledge of their predecessors, and they passively believe that the Water God Style is simply a technique used for defense and counterattack.

However, in reality, the perception possessed by the Water God Style is the same as the Mind's Eye of the Heroic Spirit Emiya. Its essence should be that it can be used for both offense and defense, and can be easily released at any time, and can even be used to pursue enemies.

Izuru and the other disciples of the Water God School stubbornly believed that the Water God School was mainly a defensive style of martial arts. This undoubtedly locked them in their limits and was equivalent to cutting off their own arm. They could not turn the knowledge left behind by the countless strong people of the Water God School into real strength.

"Snapped!"
