Shirou Emiya is determined to kill all the cursed spirits and evil spirits

Volume 1: Chapter 38 Come and fight me, Emiya-kun!

Exorcising a total of twenty-seven first-level cursed spirits in twelve days is almost impossible in the world of curses.

If there is any other monster that has the potential to break this record, it would probably only be Gojo Satoru, the [strongest].

But the problem is that the world of curses cannot allow such precious top combat power to bother searching for and exorcising curse spirits below the special grade.

Almost all of his time was spent traveling around the world to exorcise curses and certain difficult problems that were completely unsolvable locally. Almost all of those curses could be judged to be of special grade.

Therefore, even if Gojo Satoru's speed in destroying cursed spirits is far slower than that, no one would be a fool to doubt his title of "The Strongest".

A first-level sorcerer would deal with a first-level curse spirit, a second-level sorcerer would deal with a second-level curse spirit, a third-level sorcerer would deal with a third-level curse spirit, and a fourth-level sorcerer would deal with a fourth-level curse spirit.

In the world of sorcery, where there is always a shortage of people and the casualty rate is high, having someone who can guarantee a 100% chance of exorcising cursed spirits of corresponding strength as a sorcerer of that level is the best they can do.

It was not uncommon for high-level sorcerers to exorcise low-level cursed spirits. This was because even though it was difficult for most sorcerers to achieve a breakthrough in strength, the number of low-level cursed spirits was far more terrifying than one could imagine.

The sorcerers carried out their tasks non-stop every day, and they only managed to keep the situation from being discovered by most ordinary people.

But even for a first-level sorcerer who claims to be 100% capable of exorcising first-level cursed spirits, it is already quite impressive if he can maintain the speed of eliminating a first-level cursed spirit for several days.

It is possible to win, but physical strength and magical power will inevitably be consumed to a certain extent. Even if you are cautious enough when facing unknown techniques, you are likely to be injured.

Even under extremely strange techniques, casualties are possible.

However, all this had no impact on Emiya.

As long as the enemy is still within the range of the first-level cursed spirit, Emiya can now successfully exorcise it with just Gan Jiang Moye in his hand.

Physical energy consumption can be recovered with a short rest, and for some reason, there is no need to worry about the magic power. Although the magic power is consumed, the accumulated part is much greater.

The reason why Emiya was unable to increase the speed of exorcising the cursed spirits was also because he spent a lot of time accumulating various Noble Phantasms projections.

Because he didn't know what abilities the enemies he would face in the future would have, and the possibilities of the techniques were also diverse, he tried his best to create several versatile treasures that could be used at critical moments.

You must be prepared to ensure that you can completely kill the enemy at the critical moment.

Of course, the overall base number of cursed spirits is indeed so large that even a high-level specialist can hardly make a rough estimate of it, but the production of high-level cursed spirits is ultimately limited.

If a first-level cursed spirit were born in a village with backward transportation, a tragedy with hundreds of deaths might have occurred.

Even in the city, every time a first-level cursed spirit is born, there will inevitably be casualties...

Fires, gas explosions, missing persons, bus crashes... almost half of these reports every month are 'non-accidents' caused by the appearance of cursed spirits.

If there were more high-level cursed spirits, it would be completely impossible for human society to maintain the current balance.

In fact, it is precisely because the first-level curse spirits are more intelligent that they will subconsciously avoid crowded places instead of engaging in meaningless killings.

But this only means that the monster has hidden itself, not that it has turned over a new leaf.

Most of the cursed spirits that Emiya exorcises are those that were discovered hiding somewhere in a high school but no one was available to deal with them, or those that magicians were sent out but temporarily failed to exorcise.

Without exception, he eliminated all these cursed spirits.

The fact that they were registered by the High Commissioner means that they were discovered after causing a commotion.

After completing all these commissions to exorcise cursed spirits, Emiya alone dealt with most of the first-level cursed spirits in the surrounding area, leaving many first-level magicians with a lot of "free time".

Because the high school masters can safely send them to eradicate a large number of low-level cursed spirits.

It’s a pity that Shirou still couldn’t find any trace of that guy, and there was no news of him at all after that, as if the malicious provocation was just an accident.

But he would not give up. No matter whether it was a cursed spirit or a sorcerer, there was no possibility for that kind of guy to retire.

Emiya even began to doubt whether it was a well-organized organization.

But this is an organization composed of cursed spirits and curse masters. If this kind of thing is told to others, will anyone really believe it?

The only good news during this period of time may be that his health did not deteriorate due to the replacement, but instead gradually improved.

Does this mean that the rejection that once existed is gradually weakening?

boom--!

Emiya had almost completely handled all the accumulated commissions at the Technical High School by himself.

Just as he was thinking about how to find clues about the murderer, the door of the room was suddenly kicked open.

The person who came was Gojo Satoru, whom he had not seen for a long time, although he actually came secretly every day to eat for free, as if the college could not afford to support him.

This guy put his hands in his pockets and walked to the dining table in two or three exaggerated steps. He sat opposite Emiya and looked at him quietly.

"Your food is there."

Emiya pointed skillfully at the steaming curry rice on the kitchen counter.

"No, no! I didn't come here to eat. Is that the kind of person I am in Emiya-kun's eyes?"

Gojo Satoru's expression looked quite aggrieved.

But since he dared to ask this, what else could Emiya do?

Of course, I nodded in response.

"..."

"Well, I admit that I've been eating a bit too much lately, but at least that's not the reason I came here this time."

After a brief explanation, Gojo Satoru quickly leaned in front of Emiya and asked curiously, "I heard that Emiya-kun easily and efficiently eliminated two first-level cursed spirits today. All that was left at the scene were the cursed spirits' bodies cut into three pieces and two knife marks."

"The battle was resolved quite neatly, wasn't it?"

"But... how could I possibly feel anything new or exciting fighting such a weak guy? I just finished him off in a flash anyway. It's not as fun as eating dessert."

It’s not that Gojo Satoru really likes fighting, but it’s just that he has to go to the fields to pull out weeds every day. If he does it too much, it will get boring, right?

"So, Mr. Gojo, what do you mean...?"

"Emiya-kun, you—"

Gojo Satoru stretched out his hand, pointed at himself and then at Emiya.

"Come and fight me!"

Volume 1: Chapter 39 They Can't Hurt Me

Strictly speaking, Gojo Satoru had actually been looking forward to this day for a long time.

Since that day long ago, he has been looking forward to the emergence of a real change in the world of magic that can bring about changes in this place filled with the atmosphere of decay and make it less boring.

He tried many things and had some great students, but it wasn't enough.

If this place is confined to the rules and regulations of the magic world, it will never see real change.

It wasn't until a dozen days ago that Gojo Satoru saw Emiya.

That body message that was clearly tinged with strange yet perfectly appropriate signals, that ability that was completely beyond the realm of sorcery, and that pure and ultimate cursed power...

All of this meant that if there was something special and wrong in this world, it must be the Emiya in front of him.

But at that time he could also see that Emiya was not in a good condition, so he was not anxious.

After investigating Emiya's background and finding it to be a complete blank, he did not hesitate to fill in a past for the other party, but still did not talk about this effort.

Gojo Satoru could see that Emiya was not a good person in the traditional sense of the curse world, just like his best friend in the past.

So he was not at all reluctant to help the other party. Instead, he was looking forward to what kind of person Emiya would grow up to be and what kind of changes he would bring to the world of sorcery...even though the child had never asked him for anything.

Even Emiya's growth rate is much faster than expected. In just over ten days, he can completely crush the first-level cursed spirit and has probably reached the special-level realm.

This made Gojo Satoru wonder if this process could be faster.

"Fighting... What's the reason, Mr. Gojo?"

Emiya did consider Gojo Satoru, who was actually helping him, as a friend or companion, and was somewhat curious about his true strength as the "strongest".

But if we were to fight just because of such an invitation, wouldn’t that be a bit too hasty?

"Reason? Just because I'm quite curious about your current level."

"By the way, if you can satisfy me, I can also teach you some new knowledge and skills... I can be considered a teacher at the technical college."

Emiya never said that he wanted to join the Jujutsu High School and become a student there, and Gojo Satoru never mentioned such a thing either, because he knew that Emiya's combat experience and skills were quite impressive.

But when it comes to the fields of cursed power and techniques, he is still an extremely professional teacher.

Gojo Satoru had already seen that Emiya was indeed very capable in combat, but he only regarded cursed power as a kind of energy to harm cursed spirits, and had not learned or developed anything else.

Although Emiya has not yet awakened his own life-defining technique, he still has quite a few useful techniques and skills in terms of cursed power.

For a sorcerer, this is completely putting the cart before the horse.

Gojo Satoru admits that Emiya is just as powerful without the support of cursed energy and techniques, but if he can master the system of cursed energy, wouldn't it be natural for him to become even stronger?

Gojo Satoru is really looking forward to that kind of scene!

"Will you test my current strength and then teach me?"

"Then I'd appreciate your guidance, Mr. Gojo."

Emiya doesn't think that he is stronger than Gojo Satoru now, so this opportunity to learn new things seems really not to be missed.

What's more, with the support of many treasures, Emiya is no longer the same as before with somewhat simple fighting methods.

Emiya stood up and wanted to follow Gojo Satoru out the door, but the other party turned around and walked to the curry rice on the kitchen counter, stretched out his palm and stroked the rising steam a few times.

"Great, great~ This temperature is just right. After returning from the battle, I can still eat Emiya-kun's warm meal."

"..."

So arrogant?!

Doesn't this mean that he can return in less than ten minutes at most? This is based on the preparation time.

Things have come to this point, even Emiya can't just take this as guidance, but has to take it seriously.

At least you can't let people look down on you, right?

Now he not only represents himself, but also the Heroic Spirit Emiya and that Emiya Alter.

Then, Gojo Satoru brought Emiya to the vast and open back mountain of the high school.

There is actually a dojo for combat practice in the Jujutsu High School, but it is not a place where the two of them can fully display their skills, nor can their true strength be tested.

Within a few kilometers of the empty back mountain, there are only Emiya and Gojo Satoru. This is their battle field.

At the foot of the mountain, Ijichi and an assistant supervisor named Nitta Akira were waiting to respond to any emergencies at any time, but for their own safety, they would not dare to climb the mountain casually.

"If you're ready, Emiya-kun, we can start anytime."

"Just attack as you please, don't worry about hurting me."

Gojo Satoru stood about ten meters in front of Emiya, his tall and slender body constantly doing warm-up exercises by stretching his legs left and right.

As the "strongest" and proud of being the leader, Gojo Satoru generously gave the position of first attack to Emiya.

Attack at random?

Even if Gojo Satoru said so, it was impossible for Emiya to just come up and release his Noble Phantasm to launch a covering attack.

"Trace on."

For Emiya, when he is unsure of the opponent's strength and whether he has any special means, it is better to fight first so that he can make a better judgment.

So it was natural for Emiya to summon Gan Jiang and Moye.

"By the way, the intelligence shows that you almost always use these swords to eliminate cursed spirits. Do you like these two swords so much?"

"But if it's them, they probably won't be able to hurt me."

Gojo Satoru seemed to be bragging, but as the [strongest], he seemed to have real reasons and confidence to say so.

As for where this confidence comes from, Emiya still needs to test it himself to find out.

Bang-!

The sound of footsteps crushing the ground was heard, and Emiya's speed was so fast that it even faintly stirred up a thin layer of sound barrier.

In terms of physical strength alone, he is now similar to the Heroic Spirit Emiya when he was a Servant.

Faced with this oncoming attack, Gojo Satoru just stood there unmoved.

Emiya saw his performance, but he did not hesitate to attack. He knew that when facing the opponent, he didn't need to consider these things at all.

If you don't even have this kind of decisiveness and judgment, you are truly unfit for fighting.
