Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

Back here, Emiya was running errands with documents of all sizes.

After Chen Sir took the lead, other people in the office also handed over some documents to be transferred to Emiya for processing.

It would be a waste if you don't use it now. You will miss the chance when the other party has a new job after a while.

And Emiya accepted it all, thinking it was just an errand, no big deal.

Chen on the side turned a blind eye to the behavior of several people. After all, there were still some things that needed to be done for Emiya, so as not to leave him alone with nothing to do.

If this continues after she assigns work to Emiya in a couple of days, she will have to deal with these people.

But now we still have to let Emiya stop for a while.

"Emiya, take a rest for a while. There will be a simulated battle training at ten o'clock. I'll take you there to see it."

Looking at the time, Chen remembered that she seemed to have an appointment with the field team today. She had originally used work as an excuse to shirk it, but because of Emiya, she was now caught up with the progress on her hands, and had to wait until other departments had dealt with their matters before she could proceed to the next step.

I just happen to have time to take Emiya over to have a look.

It is definitely not an attempt to abuse power for personal gain or take advantage of the opportunity to retaliate or anything like that. He really just wants to bring the other party into more contact with the affairs of the Guard Bureau.

Besides, considering that Emiya could react to her sword-drawing skills, Chen estimated that he would not be able to get away with it at the hands of the other party, and might even be beaten back.

Of course, Chen did not take into account the situations when he used Chi Xiao.

After all, Chi Xiao will only unsheathe his sword against the enemy.

"Simulated combat training? Okay, I get it."

Hearing this, Emiya recalled that he and Texas had also had simulated combat training.

He also inexplicably started teaching Texas how to use dual swords.

Rather than teaching the opponent, it is more like correcting some of Texas' problems in combat.

The reason why he didn't specifically learn it before was because there was no talent in this area in Penguin Logistics, and Emiya was quite good at this, so Texas asked him for advice.

This is not the point. Emiya thought about it for a while and realized that if he couldn't use magic, his physical strength here seemed to be only average.

There are too many races with strong bodies in this land. Let’s just say Xing Xiong from the ghost clan and Chen from the dragon clan, their physical strengths seem to be quite strong.

As for why Emiya knew?

As everyone at Penguin Logistics said a while ago, some little gossip about Chen, Shi Huaiya, and Xing Xiong has never stopped.

For example, when Xingxiong was hanging out in the slums, he would kill each thug with one punch.

And Chen Yidao directly chopped up the vault.

Shi Huaiya always wields a meteor hammer as a weapon.

What they said was quite violent, but it also indirectly proved that these people were very powerful.

Even Shi Huaiya, who sounds like the most auspicious character, is wielding a meteor hammer, a weapon that tests the user's physical ability.

While thinking, Emiya sent the document to where it should go.

His feet have not stopped for more than an hour.

And he didn't know if it was an illusion, but Emiya always felt that someone was staring at him.

Emiya was sure that this gaze was definitely not coming from the people around him.

If I really have to say it...Is it like someone is watching him?

If they were outside, Emiya might find a way to get rid of the other person or find him out.

However, this is the Imperial Guard Bureau building. Out of trust in the Imperial Guard Bureau, Emiya simply chose to ignore the source of this gaze.

At least this sight will disappear when he enters the bathroom, otherwise Emiya will really find a way to find him.

After completing this leg run, Chen took Emiya, Hoshiguma, and a few men who looked relatively strong to a very large room.

Some places inside were covered with mats, and some places were divided into areas. There were also many wooden weapons and unsharpened standard swords of the Guard Bureau provided on the side.

Some people had already started sparring inside, just like what Emiya had seen in the movies, with one person teaching a group of people to spar with their bare hands.

"Which ones are you interested in, Emiya?"

Hoshiguma, who was standing by, spoke to Emiya.

Chen is arranging training for his team members. Everyone has his own expertise, so they usually train separately.

Of course, there are also people like Xingxiong who will be responsible for serving as sparring partners.

By the way, Xingxiong basically practices with Chen. After all, apart from her, there are few people in the Guards Bureau who can practice with Lao Chen for a long time and with high intensity.

"Hmm... swords, huh?"

As soon as he came in, Emiya noticed the sword sparring going on on the other side.

The reason is very simple. Their movements when practicing are relatively simple, and judging from their action patterns, they should have received the same sword-fighting knowledge.

Maybe he's the swordsmanship instructor within the Imperial Guard Bureau?

"Oh? Swords? I remember when I first met you, you were also using sword-related Originium techniques."

Hearing Emiya's words, Hoshiguma recalled the scene when they first met.

At that time, Missy took Emiya to the slums, but they were chased. Then Emiya used the Originium technique and the black and white swords to solve the problem.

Although the opponent surrendered quickly, Hoshiguma still noticed that Emiya's skills were quite good.

At least we've been in contact for quite a while.

“That time.”

Of course, Emiya remembered that time, after all, it was his first battle here.

Although the opponent was very weak, Emiya felt helpless when he thought of the scene at that time.

"Ha, as for swordplay, many of Lao Chen's men have learned swordplay. You can try to spar with them."

Seeing that Emiya had a strange expression on his face, Hoshiguma simply skipped the topic.

After all, it was Missy who was overconfident that time, and Emiya was dragged into it, so maybe he has some bad memories?

"That's not necessary. I'll just take a look today."

After hearing what Hoshiguma said, Emiya politely refused.

After all, he just reported for duty today, and if he were asked to spar with others directly, he wouldn't be able to do it.

"also."

Hoshiguma respected Emiya's idea and didn't ask the reason specifically.

But Xingxiong is easy to talk to, but Chen is hard to talk to.

"Emiya, practice your skills?"

Holding two unsharpened standard swords of the Konoha Bureau in his hands, Chen asked Emiya.

Although his tone was questioning, the other party had already held the sword forward.

I look like I'm going to attack you if you don't answer.

"…walk slowly."

Feeling the inexplicable pressure, Emiya took the sword from Chen's hand.

It's quite heavy. It should be used to help the guards get familiar with the standard swords during practice, right?

At least it feels better to wield than Penguin Logistics' training sword.

But it’s still not as convenient as Gan Jiang and Moye.

"Come on, Emiya."

Looking at the two of them, Xingxiong didn't know why Chen cared so much about Emiya.

From the very beginning when Emiya arrived, Chen's attitude towards Emiya was quite strange.

Generally speaking, Chen would not ask about the affairs of interns, as long as it did not interfere with their work, he would be casual about it.

But for Shirou, he arranged the work for him and even explained some precautions to him.

Is this what you see?

Thinking of this, Xingxiong narrowed his eyes and looked in Chen's direction.

"What's wrong?"

Chen, who was stretching, noticed Xingxiong's gaze, raised his head, looked at him and asked.

"No, it's nothing, just be safe."

Xingxiong shook her head and said nothing. She should just be overthinking it. Maybe things were not as she thought. Old Chen might have deliberately arranged many things just because Shi Gong was arranged by Wei Yanwu.

She knew that the other party was not that cunning, but after all, it was related to Wei Yanwu, so it was possible that Lao Chen would do anything.

"When did you not notice?"

Hearing Xingxiong's words, Chen said helplessly.

We are obviously partners and colleagues, but why does it seem like Xingxiong is always concerned about my affairs in some strange ways?

But he really has to be careful this time. After all, based on the strength that Emiya has shown so far, Chen feels that if he meets Emiya outside, it would be difficult for him to defeat him alone.

Apart from anything else, the disgustingly long attack distance was enough to make her give up.

"Okay, I'll be the referee. I'll stop when I'm done, okay?"

Xingxiong had no intention of arguing with Chen, but directly asked for the referee's position.

She was familiar with this position, although it was mainly about the quarrel between Chen and Shi Huaiya.

However, she is not familiar with Emiya's fighting skills, so she has to pay more attention to the battle situation so that she can stop Lao Chen or Emiya in the first place.

She was confident in Chen's strength, but she would not think that Chen was invincible. At least she could still suppress him if she was familiar with his swordsmanship.

"Well, that's enough."

Emiya on the side nodded and said, while standing within the range of the sparring arena.

In order to avoid disturbing others, there are designated areas on the ground.

"Then trouble you."

Seeing that Emiya agreed, Chen Ye stood within the range and assumed a starting stance.

Chen was seen holding the sword with both hands, with the sword level with his eyes and the tip of the sword pointing forward.

"Um?"

Looking at the other person, Emiya felt a sense of familiarity.

Where have you seen a similar opening move?

But before Emiya could think about where he had seen him before, Hoshiguma said:

"On the count of three, it starts."

As Hoshiguma began to count, Emiya also turned his attention to Chen.

Strictly speaking, this competition was very disadvantageous for him, because he did not use magic to correct his physical strength, and Chen's race was a dragon, which was quite strong in this aspect.

As the third sound fell, the two of them moved at the same time.

锵─

The two swords clashed, making a loud noise.

Unlike when he sparred with Gatexas, Chen's sword felt quite heavy.

The relative speed is slightly inferior to Texas's sword, but as long as he doesn't take it head-on, Emiya can still hold on for a while.

"Oh? It's pretty good, isn't it?"

As the referee, Hoshiguma naturally noticed Emiya's defensive techniques.

Use a slight tilt to make Lao Chen's sword deviate a little, so as to avoid being hit head-on by the opponent's attack.

She also often uses this move. A similar effect can be achieved by tilting the shield slightly, but Emiya uses a sword, and he tilts the sword slightly every time he collides with the sword in Chen's hand.

From this we can see that Emiya has a pretty good grasp of the sword, and can swing the sword according to his thoughts.

"Only defense?"
