Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Even though the entire morning had passed, Liudong Yicheng still felt a lingering fear.

"The next time will be during the New Year."

"Shirou, have you made plans for next New Year?"

Just as Yanagido Kazunari was about to speak, an intellectual voice sounded from behind them.

Emiya Shirou and Ryudo Issei immediately turned around and looked behind them.

I saw a woman with short blue hair, a pair of glasses on her face, sky-blue pupils, a delicate face full of intelligence, and a very gentle aura approaching.

"Senior Xiye——"

Emiya Shirou and Ryudo Issei spoke politely.

"Not really. After all, I don't know if next New Year will be busy. We will all be busy graduating by then."

Shirou Emiya shook his head. He might be in another world next New Year. If he came back, he would be willing to hold it again as the last reunion before graduation.

After graduation, everyone goes their separate ways, and there is basically no chance for us to get together like this.

"That's true. Where does Senior Xiyeer plan to go for further studies after graduation?"

Ryudo Kazunari also asked questions to senior Xiel at the right time.

"In Western Europe, I've already received a recommendation from a school there."

"As for Western Europe, you will probably go there after you graduate, Emiya."

Hearing what Xiel said, Ryudo Issei looked at Emiya Shirou thoughtfully.

Shirou Emiya didn't think too much about it.

The Cathedral Church is mainly located in Western Europe, and its influence spreads throughout the world with Western Europe as its center.

Of course, the Magic Association's Clock Tower is also over there.

"Well, that should be the case."

If nothing goes wrong, he should go to the Clock Tower for further studies with Toosaka Rin after graduation. He is actually looking forward to how the Magic Association will teach magic knowledge.

After all, he is still a novice in magic. He has to practice, forge, and study every day, and he also has to deal with some trivial things in daily life. He does not have so much time to learn magic knowledge from Toosaka Rin.

"I'll probably be dealing with Shirou's school more often in the future. We might bump into each other more often."

"Hey, is that so?"

Ryudo Kazunari was a little surprised. From Xiel's tone, it seemed that she went to Western Europe just for Emiya Shirou.

And Emiya Shirou just smiled bitterly.

The Magic Association and the Holy Church are hostile forces. They have a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days. Fighting and killing, fighting to the death are common occurrences, so they do meet each other often.

However, in terms of strength, I'm afraid the Holy Church is superior. The Holy Church is a whole, while the Magic Association is just an organization formed by various organizations coming together for various reasons.

If the Magic Association and the Clock Tower were to be destroyed, I'm afraid most of the magicians inside would choose to wait and see, and Mr. Jewel might also happily choose to watch.

It can even be said that one does not need a force strong enough to fight against the world in order to achieve the feat of destroying the Magic Association.

However, the goal of the Holy Church is to eliminate pagans, that is, to eliminate magicians as a whole. This will be resisted by almost all magicians. For example, a certain crown puppeteer is actually the target of the Holy Church's elimination.

The main reason why the Holy Church did not launch a strong offensive against the Magic Association is that the Holy Church's focus is on eliminating inhuman heretics such as vampires, Dead Apostles, and True Ancestors.

The core power is not used to fight against the Magic Association.

Just as the three of them were talking, Matou Shinji, who had just walked out of the classroom, stared at Emiya Shirou's back viciously and said with gritted teeth: "This bastard——!"

His gaze lingered on Xier for a moment.

Xier seemed to have noticed something and looked back with some confusion, but then turned around and joined the conversation again.

"I'm really envious of being able to see such a gentle senior often in the future, Emiya."

"Ah, gentle?"

Shirou Emiya recalled the extremely violent posture of Xiel during the battle with Elquet, which had nothing to do with gentleness.

"clatter--!"

Just as Shirou Emiya was about to sigh in confusion, Hiel placed his hand on Shirou Emiya's shoulder and stared at him with those [gentle] eyes.

"I'm also looking forward to meeting my junior often in the future—"

"Yes, it is gentle."

Under the heavy pressure from Hiel, Shirou Emiya chose to compromise.

"Oh by the way, Emiya, do you have anything else to do after school?"

"Stop! I think I know what you're going to say. I'll go to the student union after school."

"As expected, the student council won't be able to survive without you, Emiya."

"Then it's better to disband this kind of student union as soon as possible."

"I don't have anything else to do after school today. Can I go to the student union to help?"

"Of course, you are called the [Shadow Student Council President] by others. I welcome you so much, how could I possibly refuse?"

It wasn't long before the three of them arrived at the student cafeteria.

It can’t be said to be cooling down, but it can’t be said to be lively either.

Lunch in school is divided into three groups. One group brings their own lunch, one group buys bread from the canteen, and the last group goes to the cafeteria.

However, I met two unexpected people here.

"What a coincidence, Toosaka, Mizue."

Shirou Emiya greeted Toosaka Rin and Mizue Ayako who were walking towards him.

"This is not a coincidence. None of us prepared lunch boxes, so we can only eat in the cafeteria. Isn't it normal to meet in the cafeteria during lunch time?"

"Sakura will be here soon too. In fact, I feel like Fujimura-sensei and Kuzuki-sensei will be here soon too."

Toosaka Rin looked at Emiya Shirou with contempt. There are not so many coincidences in the world.

Chapter 1164 Ah Meh!!

Just as Toosaka Rin had guessed, Matou Sakura, Kuzuki teacher and Fujimura Taiga also came to the cafeteria.

In addition, there was another person who surprised everyone - Joan of Arc.

"I'm the teacher in the health room."

Seeing everyone suddenly turn their eyes to her, Joan of Arc spoke helplessly.

"I completely forgot about this setting. Jeanne, you won't stay in the health room all day, will you?"

Toosaka Rin's complaints are very on point, because that's exactly how Jeanne is. Unless it's necessary, she basically stays in the health room reading medical-related knowledge.

"Don't be disrespectful, call me Teacher Jeanne."

"Okay, Teacher Jeanne!" x6

"Sister Fuji, please stop fooling around with them!"

When Joan of Arc heard Fujimura Taiga calling her like this, she was speechless.

"Actually, compared to this, I want to know how Jeanne-sensei managed to get to school."

Liudong Yicheng touched his chin, his eyes full of confusion.

"that----"

At this moment, Joan of Arc suddenly became uneasy. In order not to be late, she ran here on her own feet.

After all, this is not a very far distance for a servant.

When in Romania, Jeanne relied on her own legs to run back and forth between Tolifas and Sighisoara. She was called a Ruler and a Runner, but the distance between Illya's house and the private Hogunhara Academy was nothing for her as a Servant.

However, Joan of Arc couldn't tell them that she had come here directly. She was not good at lying, and faced with this situation, she had no idea where to start.

“Ahem! Ahem! Actually, it was Saber who went back and picked Jeanne up.”

As if she noticed Jeanne's embarrassment, Toosaka Rin quickly spoke up to smooth things over. She had already guessed that Jeanne would come running straight over.

"I don't think we should discuss this morning's events over dinner. My stomach is starting to churn."

Liudong Yicheng covered his abdomen and spoke with a painful look on his face.

At this moment, everyone felt the same way as Liudong Yicheng's words. They didn't want to have such a thrilling experience again.

"Oh by the way, Emiya, do you have any free time this afternoon?"

Suddenly, Ayako Mizutsugi seemed to have thought of something and spoke in the direction of Shirou Emiya.

"What are you going to do? Let me tell you first, Emiya's time this afternoon has been booked by our student council."

When Ryudo Issei heard what Mizutsu Ayako said, he was startled for a moment and his expression suddenly became serious, for fear that Mizutsu Ayako would snatch Emiya Shirou away.

"It's not a big deal. I just want to invite Emiya to the archery club."

Ayako Mizutsu pointed at Issei Ryudo and signaled him not to be so excited.

"Sakura is also in the Kyudo Club. Maybe we can see her shooting arrows handsomely."

"Senior Mizue!"

When Sakura Matou heard Ayako Mizuzu suddenly calling her, her face turned red and she spoke in a blaming tone.

"Haha! Don't worry so much, Sakura, your archery skills are unmatched in your grade."

"That's just the same grade as mine. I can't compare to Senior Meizhu and - my brother."

When she said this, Sakura Matou paused slightly.

In the Kyudo Club, Ayako Mitsuzu is the club's captain and head, while Shinji Matou is the club's vice-head and deputy captain, and his archery skills are second only to Ayako Mitsuzu.

There is no doubt that Shinji Matou is a genius, or rather an all-rounder with balanced development in all aspects. To be more precise, he is an all-rounder with extremely high talent except in magic.

Ayako Mizutsu's talent is outstanding among ordinary people, and ever since she started learning Kyudo, she has been immersed in it.

But for Shinji Matou, Kyudo was just a pastime, something to play with, and he never took it seriously. Yet, even under such circumstances, Ayako Mizuzumi was able to barely surpass Shinji Matou in Kyudo, which was enough to show how excellent her talent was.

After all, he was a genius who was able to become the second-best game player in Asia at the age of eight on the moon, and was even able to exploit the loopholes in Mooncell.

As long as it is not related to magic, Shinji Matou's talent is enough to make people jealous.

As for Shirou Emiya, he had long been expelled from the normal human community.

"If I have some free time after I finish my work this afternoon, I'll go take a look."

Shirou Emiya nodded slightly. Mizutsu Ayako had invited him to join the Kyudo Club many times before, but he had rejected them all because he was basically not in school. Now it seems that it is almost time for Mizutsu Ayako to quit the club, or rather retire.

Ayako Mizuzu's archery club has Sakura Matou to take over, while on the side of Kazunari Ryudo, it seems that no one can take over the position of student council president.

She even cried to Shirou Emiya on the way, saying that if Shirou Emiya was a junior, she would want to hand over the position of student council president to Shirou.

After all, after the final exams of this semester, they will enter the third year of high school.

Suddenly, Emiya Shirou felt a sense of emotion.

It seems that two years have passed unknowingly, and I am about to move from my second year of high school to my third year. During these two years, the days I spent in school can really be said to be very few.

"You can come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. It's not a very important matter."

Ayako Mizutsugu waved her hand and said there was no need to come today. She just mentioned it in passing. She had basically handed over many things to Sakura Matou to handle. After some procedures were completed for the next semester, Sakura Matou would be the director and commander of the Kyudo Club.

Well, I just hope that Shinji Matou won't do anything weird. When he was in the Kyudo Club, I don't know how many things Shinji Matou did that gave Ayako Mizutsugi a lot of headaches.

She was also glad that Shinji Matou was in the same grade as her. If he was in the same grade as Sakura Matou, it would be hard to know who would have the position of minister.

"I always feel like there are a lot of things to do on the first day back to school—"

Shirou Emiya complained softly, and was immediately met with their contemptuous looks.

"I don't know who has been absent from school, so there must be a lot of things piling up. To put it simply, do you think you have a chance of passing the final exam, Emiya?"

"There shouldn't be any problem if it comes to world history."

Because of the Holy Grail War, Shirou Emiya is still able to keep up with the progress of world history.

Soichiro Kuzuki, who was sitting aside without saying a word, smiled with relief.

"So what about English?" Fujimura Taiga asked Emiya Shirou at this moment. She was an English teacher.
