Shirou even participated in the process of preparing banquet dishes.

Meanwhile, regarding the assassin who killed Darius, Darius himself, in a fit of rage after being attacked, forcibly had someone record Shirou's appearance and characteristics in his Heroic Spirit form, and drew a wanted poster, which was then posted throughout the entire Kingdom of Asura.

The bounty is equivalent to killing several red dragons, and there's still more to go.

Such an outrageous bounty has made a large number of adventurers and assassins who are willing to risk their lives for money eager to find the murderer who assassinated Darius, capture him, and make a hefty reward.

However, many more rational people realized that the assassin was capable of surviving the water god's clutches.

Even if not a god-level being, they should at least be an emperor-level being, or a peak king-level being.

Such an existence is beyond the ability of ordinary people to handle; only a true god-level powerhouse could possibly defeat it completely.

The territory of Boreas initially held the Dark Hero who assassinated Darius in high esteem, without giving it much thought.

However, when Alice saw the bounty poster and the features described by Darius himself, she immediately showed an extremely excited expression.

Because she quickly recognized the other person as Emiya, the one who had saved her when she was kidnapped that day!

So much time had passed, and she thought she would never hear from him again. But to her surprise, he actually stormed into the capital and severely injured even the culprit Darius. This made Alice feel extremely admiring.

Upon learning of this, the Boreas family also developed a strong interest in Emiya, the hero of the night, and immediately sent people to secretly search for him, attempting to provide him with protection and support.

Due to the influence of Sauros, the Boreas clan has always been clear about their grudges and favors, being ruthless to their enemies and friendly to their friends.

Since the Night Hero once saved Alice and now severely injured Darius, an enemy of the Boreas clan, he is undoubtedly an ally of the Boreas clan!

Shaolus couldn't wait to drink and celebrate with that hero of the night, to express his gratitude for the hero's righteous act.

As for the attitude of the Boreas clan, Shirou, the true hero of the night, is currently showing considerable helplessness.

He simply couldn't handle the excessive enthusiasm of the Boreas clan, so he had absolutely no intention of coming forward to acknowledge his identity.

He merely helped the Boreas family host a banquet, adding many of his own original dishes to the feast, and then he found Kyrie I.

"Gilead, can I learn the Light Blade now?"

Upon seeing Kyrie Io, Shirou made this statement without much hesitation.

Kyrie was slightly surprised by Shirou's attitude.

But she didn't question anything; she simply brought two wooden swords from the training ground.

"Fight me."

"This……"

Shirou was surprised that Kyrie Illusion made such a straightforward statement. He was surprised that Kyrie Illusion did not question his ability to learn the Blade of Light, and he was also surprised that Kyrie Illusion wanted to fight him.

"Combat is the best way to test one's abilities, and it is also the only way for the Sword God School to assess its disciples."

Kyrie Irvine spoke quietly, “My master, the current Sword God, tests us disciples in this way. If you want to prove your ability, there is only one way: let your sword speak for itself.”

"I understand."

Shirou did not hesitate at all regarding Kyrie Irwin's attitude.

The two sides quickly arrived at the training ground and began to fight.

"!!"

Kyrie Irwin made the first move.

She clearly wasn't holding back at all, and immediately revealed her full strength.

The wooden sword in her hand exhibited an almost imperceptible arc as it charged straight toward Shirou.

However, Kyrie Illusion ultimately did not use the Blade of Light, as it was beyond Shirou's ability limits and could not be used for the test.

Therefore, at this moment she is only using the Silent Blade to attack Shirou!

Shirou then used his silent katana in return, and the two clashed!

"Snapped!"

The wooden sword made a crisp, cracking sound.

The moment the intensity of the clash began, Gilead's expression changed slightly, as if he had noticed Shirou's change.

But she did not stop.

Just as several rounds were about to end, Kyrie suddenly jumped back and threw the wooden sword in his hand directly at Shirou!

"Snapped!"

The wooden sword contained immense battle energy, causing the blade to shatter.

At the same time, an astonishing sword aura contained within the sword also erupted directly, attacking Shirou with extremely astonishing intensity!

Faced with such an attack that had completely deviated from the realm of swordsmanship, Shirou showed no surprise or hesitation. He simply raised his wooden sword and met the attack head-on!

"boom!"

Kyrie Ion's excessively powerful fighting spirit directly destroyed the wooden sword in Shirou's hand.

But even if the sword itself is broken.

Shirou's wooden sword also released a sword aura of comparable power, which canceled out Kyrie's fighting spirit.

Although its strength was certainly not comparable to Kyrie Irving's sword, Shirou still managed to withstand the attack after its initial power gradually diminished.

"you did it."

When it was all over, Gilead looked at Shirou with admiration and even a little shock. "When my master taught me what a real sword is, it took me more than two years. I stayed in the higher level for a long time because of this. I used to complain about my master and thought it was all his fault that my upper limit was stuck at the King level. If I had learned the Blade of Light a few years earlier, I might have been able to reach a higher level."

"But now I understand that my master's approach was correct. If I hadn't grasped the essence of the sword beforehand, I might have been stuck at the Saint level for my entire life. Because if you can't understand what a true sword is, you'll be influenced by the form of the Light Katana, and the sword will become dull or even cool down. The reason I'm stuck at the King level is simply because of my own limitations."

“Shirou, you are much stronger than me. You have grasped the essence of the sword so quickly. As a result, you should be able to go further than me in the Sword God Style. I used to not understand why Master wanted someone to surpass him so much and was always waiting for a stronger person to appear. But now, I can completely understand his thoughts. Shirou, I look forward to the day when you can surpass me.”

"..."

Shirou was taken aback when Kyrie said something like that, and he immediately thought of Lyda, the water goddess, from before.

As elders in swordsmanship, they all hoped that younger generations could surpass them or even succeed them.

This is how human inheritance works: leaving technology to future generations and letting experience benefit the world.

Shirou suddenly understood, and at the same time, he showed a serious expression and slowly said, "I will try my best, Kyrie Irvine."

Although he didn't say it aloud, he still called Gilead "Master" in his heart.

Kyrie Illusion nodded silently, then suddenly looked at Shirou with incredibly sharp eyes: "Then, you will be learning the true Blade of Light from me. To be honest, the training for the Blade of Light is far more difficult than you can imagine. Don't regret taking this path!"

"Of course, I won't regret it."

Shirou and Girenau exchanged a smile.

Kyrie Irwin thus officially began teaching Shirou the true Light Sword.

That was Shirou's first step on his path to becoming a sword saint!

Chapter 139 The Second Princess in Search of the Blacksmith Muramasa

As Shirou began his training with Kyrielight on the path to becoming a Sword Saint, the turmoil in the royal capital caused by him did not completely subside.

First, there was the time when Shirou and Alice challenged the Suijin-ryu Dojo.

Although the challenge resulted in Shirou's defeat and Izaruti's victory, those who witnessed the battle at the time had already come to acknowledge Shirou to some extent.

After all, if Shirou hadn't chosen to confront them head-on instead of resorting to underhanded tactics, the battle would likely have ended in his victory.

Faced with such rumors, the disciples of the Water God School could only suffer in silence.

While they were grateful to Izuru for protecting the honor of the Water God School, they also admired Shirou's strength, but they couldn't bring themselves to acknowledge it to his face.

For a disciple of the Water God School, admitting that a disciple of the Sword God School is stronger is arguably more painful than killing them.

Of course, this only applies to ordinary disciples of the Water God School.

For Izuru, the strongest disciple of the Water God School and a half-step Water Saint, she would rather admit defeat than win.

After all, she later realized that Shirou had clearly been holding back in the end, and that not continuing to use his fighting spirit to protect the wooden sword was what led to his defeat.

If Shirou had gone a step further and continued to strengthen the wooden sword, it's highly likely that Izuru would have been the one defeated.

Izuru didn't understand why Shirou would hand over the victory to her, but she vaguely realized that he might have done it for her sake.

Izuru developed indescribable feelings for this and just wanted to find Shirou as soon as possible to confide in him and even apologize.

However, when Isorti later used her network to search for Shirou in the capital, she eventually learned that Shirou and the Boreas family had left the capital.

For a moment, she even had the urge to leave the capital and go to the Boreas family to find Shirou.

Of course, impulsiveness is just that—impulsiveness. Izuru has neither the ability to go that far to find someone, nor can she abandon the Water God School's dojo. She needs to stay at the Water God School's dojo to hone her skills.

"Clap."

"Thud."...

Izuru continued to wield her sword in the dojo of the Water God School.

Her aura intensified with each passing second, her surging battle qi like a tidal wave, making the surrounding disciples dare not approach her at all. Even the teachers of the Water God School dared not easily provoke Izoruti.

Most people thought that Izuru was disappointed with the result of the previous battle and could not accept that she had almost lost to a disciple of the Sword God School, so she was motivated to work hard.

Taking advantage of others' misunderstandings, Isoru was able to practice her swordsmanship alone without any distractions.

Her swordsmanship was filled with chaotic thoughts, completely lacking its usual calmness and any rules, but she had no other choice but to use this method to vent her inner emotions.

Just then, an old woman walked over from not far away, leading a blonde girl dressed as a swordsman.

"What's wrong? Did someone offend you?"

The current water goddess, Lydia, walked over from a distance. She seemed unaware of what was happening in the dojo and looked at Izuru with considerable curiosity.

"master!"

Upon the arrival of the water god, Izuru immediately bowed her head respectfully.

She was curious about the blonde girl beside the water god, but didn't pay much attention to her. Instead, she told him everything that had happened in the dojo.

"Oh?"

After hearing Isorti's account, a sharp glint flashed in the eyes of the water goddess Reda. "Gilead's disciple came to challenge you, and even nearly defeated you?"

"It wasn't a close call; normally Shirou would have won, but for some reason, he seemed to have let him win a little at the end..."

Izoruti's expression was complicated.

She herself didn't know why Shirou had handed the victory to her so easily, but the result was something she couldn't accept from the bottom of her heart, and her whole body was filled with boiling, indescribable emotions.

When the water goddess Leda saw Izuruti's appearance, she almost instantly realized the girl's budding romantic feelings.

She smiled slightly and said slowly, "That's not important. What's important is that you believe you lost to him, and that the young swordsman chose to give you the victory in order to help you."

That's about it...

The facts that Izoruti deduced afterward were basically the same.

Otherwise, it's impossible to explain why Shirou's wooden sword was shattered at the end.

A wooden sword imbued with battle aura is normally very difficult to break.

Izuru realized that Shirou might have given up the victory to avoid hurting her or to maintain his dignity.

This undoubtedly made Izoruti very upset, and she couldn't even calm her heart.

Regarding Izuru's indescribable feelings, the water goddess Reda, as an experienced elder, almost immediately saw through her girlish heart.

She was just disappointed that the boy named Shirou was already a disciple of the Sword God School, and even a disciple of Kyrie Il, which meant he was a direct descendant of the Sword God.

Given this situation, it's highly unlikely that the Water God Stream will be found.

The rivalry between the Water God School and the Sword God School has lasted for over a thousand years, so it's highly unlikely that Isorti's budding romance will ever come to fruition.

Thinking of this, the water goddess Leda felt a little empathy for Izuru, and she slowly said, "You are now feeling unable to accept what that boy did, and feeling helpless because you accepted help but cannot repay the kindness. For you now, there is only one way to solve all the problems."

"what way?"

"Become stronger, become a Water Saint, or even a Water King, and then find that person in an even stronger form."

The water goddess Leda spoke quietly, "As long as you are strong enough, one day you will be able to help the other party."

"..."

Izuru seemed thoughtful in response to Leda's words of experience.

Then, the water goddess Leda gestured for her companion, Dorstina, to step forward and slowly said, "By the way, let me introduce you to our dojo's new disciple. Her name is Dorstina, and she is the same age as you. You two can get to know each other better in the future."
