"Why can he use it?" The black-haired boy's eyes were trembling. He couldn't understand why Shirou Emiya could perform Raikiri. He was able to see through sword skills immediately and learn them quickly, but he was never able to learn [Raikiri]. It’s not that this sword skill is so profound, it’s just that this sword skill can only be performed under the ability to control lightning. Without the assistance of this special power, it would be impossible to achieve such a speed of swinging the sword. "If it were you, could you defeat him?" Shinguji Kurono seemed to be very familiar with the young man. Without any greetings, she slightly turned her head and asked. "No, I'm afraid it's difficult. He even held back when fighting with Dongtang Daohua. That kind of power-generating technique that turned into thunder was not coordinated with a bow, but a sword." As he spoke, a sound like thunder rang out from his mouth. Just by taking a look, without even experiencing it personally, this man had already learned Emiya Shirou's breathing method.
After all, there is no threshold to breathing techniques, and even an ordinary person can master them within a few months. For those who have various excellent talents, this breathing method requires almost no words and can be learned in an instant. "Moreover, his bow, whether in terms of damage or speed, is not comparable to that of Kirihara Shizuya. Even if I activate the One Sword Shura state, it is difficult to withstand his shooting." The man was thinking seriously. The speed of these sword arrows was far beyond his own. He had no way to dodge them except to resist them head-on. But if he tried to resist head-on, he didn't have the thunderous attack of Dongtang Daohua, so he had no way to resist it. All this was before he took into account Emiya Shirou's control over the explosions of the sword arrows. He already felt no hope of winning. "is it?" Shinguji Kurono nodded. Even under such restrictions, Emiya Shirou's strength far exceeded B level and reached A level. This A-level is not like the A-level swordsman freshman Stella Famillion who just entered the academy this year. She was ranked in the A-level because of her own talent. Her actual level might be among the B-level swordsmen. At least Dongtang Daohua didn't need to expend much effort to defeat her. The power that Shirou Emiya is currently displaying has indeed reached the level of an A-class knight. In fact, after making arrangements for Shirou Emiya, Shinguji Kurono also thought about it and decided that there was no need to hide Shirou Emiya's special ability too much. Although being able to project and use the other party's abilities is indeed abnormal, it is just that. It will make people envious and jealous, but it will not make people greedy. There are many causal sword-breakers in this world, and they also possess abilities that ordinary sword-breakers cannot resist. But their abnormal abilities will not make people greedy. Because these powerful abilities cannot be obtained by other people, no matter how powerful they are, other people cannot use them. She only needed to hide the fact that what Emiya Shirou created could be preserved permanently and that other people could use it. Apart from these two factors, Shirou Emiya's special ability will not have much impact on the current situation. This is also one of the reasons why Shinguji Kurono agreed to Saikyo Ningyin to let Todou Touka challenge Emiya Shirou.
As for the second reason, it was that she really wanted to see the fighting power of this young man named Emiya Shirou. The reason why he was ranked as an A-level swordsman in their hearts was because he could use the supernatural powers of others. Just like Stella Famillion who possesses an extremely terrifying talent, he can reach the level of an A-level swordsman, but not now. However, judging from Shirou Emiya's current performance, there is no need to say more. The thick fog gradually dissipated, and the scene in the arena appeared in front of everyone. Emiya Shirou stood in the center unharmed, and in front of him was Toudou Touka who had fallen unconscious. "I declare! The winner is C-rank Bladebreaker Emiya Shirou!!!!!!!" After the referee's declaration, the entire audience began to burst into cheers. Dongtang Daohua was not only the president of the student union, but also the number one in Pojun Academy. He was just a freshman, but he defeated the number one in the academy not long after entering the school. The news was so explosive that they didn't know how to digest it. This is not like the A-class knight who was defeated by the F-class knight a few days ago. Firstly, there weren't many people at the scene, and secondly, everyone just knew that the A-level knight who was enrolled was very strong, but they didn't have any idea of how strong he was. And there are indeed many people who look down on that A-level swordsman, because everyone knows that the swordsman became an A-level swordsman by virtue of his talent, not because of his sufficient strength. Is it shocking that a legend that you see every day was defeated, or is it more surprising that an A-rank Feller that you have only heard of was defeated? I'm afraid there's no need for comparison. “I recorded it————” Kusakabe Kagami put down her phone in a daze. She did not see the battle in which the F-class knight defeated the A-class knight a few days ago. She only knew the battle process through video. This time, not only was she present at the scene, but she also recorded the entire video. "So strong, those two are so strong!" She was a girl with a pair of red eyes that seemed to be burning with blazing flames, and long hair that was as bright red as a red lotus. She was wearing a suit similar to the one worn by the etiquette team and had a very plump figure. "Stella" The man softly called out to the girl standing next to him. She and he had come here together. Just because she had never seen such a battle scene, she just stared at the arena without saying a word. The battle, although short, was extremely exciting. These two people are the ones who were caught in the storm a few days ago, the F-rank Flayer Kurogane Ikki and the A-rank Flayer Stella Famillion. "I should have noticed it earlier. You already know what kind of strength Emiya Shirou has, so you let him fight against Toudou Touka." Shinguji Kurono glanced towards Xijing Ningyin's position, his tone full of dissatisfaction. After feeling the unique method that Kurogane Ikki had learned, she realized that long before Emiya Shirou fought with Toudou Touka, Saikyo Nin's breathing method had already been extremely regular. If you are not a dedicated martial artist, you will not pay much attention to this change in breathing. Even if you are a real martial artist, you may not be able to notice such a small thing. People who practice martial arts have requirements for their own breathing. When judging the enemy's situation, they mostly feel whether his breathing is disordered. As for what kind of rules there are, most people don't think about it.
"Hey!" Xijing Ningyin covered her mouth with a folding fan, tilted her head and smiled, trying to get away with it. Chapter 315 Seven Star Sword Dance Festival Being a freshman and defeating the best student in the school is what many new swordsmen dream of. How they wish this could happen to them. But let’s not talk about how powerful Toudou Touka is as the number one in the school. As the president of the student union, she also has to deal with a lot of things every day. Apart from training and class time, Dongtang Daohua rarely appears in the arena to fight with others. It's not that he is unwilling, but he has a lot of responsibilities, and many people who want to challenge Dongtang Daohua find it difficult to find a good time to challenge him. However, most of those people will be defeated by other members of the student union. How can he fight the best in the academy when he couldn't even defeat the rest of the student council? Anyway, Shirou Emiya is very famous in this academy, and the weapon he uses is a longbow. It immediately allowed those swordsmen who used bows to find someone to help. After all, as a person who defeated the A-rank swordsman through technology, Ikki Kurogane used a sword as a weapon, and what he could teach were basically all about sword skills. As for the bow, perhaps the only one who was somewhat familiar to him was the one who had been targeting him, Shizuya Kirihara. However, when two freshmen with incredible strength emerged at the same time. The debate begins. "Emiya Shirou is a C-rank Flayer. It is not uncommon for a C-rank Flayer to defeat a B-rank Flayer. Moreover, he did not fight head-on with Toudou-senpai. Instead, he kept the distance and took absolute long-range advantage, which is how he defeated Toudou-senpai." "And Kurogane Ikki, with the weakest power in the entire academy, defeated an A-rank knight that even Toudou-senpai hadn't reached. Isn't the strength of both of them obvious at a glance?" "Huh? During the battle, it was obvious that Emiya Shirou was faster than Toudou-senpai, and his grasp of timing and control of the battlefield situation were obvious to all. Moreover, why don't archers use their long-range advantages and fight in close combat?" In short, the fans of the two argued endlessly in various places, and the final result was to go to the arena to decide the winner. During this period of time, the number of times the arena was used skyrocketed, and most of the battles were between ranged and melee swordsmen. The result is, of course, obvious. Without special weapons that can target long-range swordsmen, it is difficult for melee swordsmen to get close. Therefore, in the arena, most of the losers are those who use swords. Not everyone has the explosive speed of Kurogane Ikki. Even Dongtang Daohua was in a situation where he was unable to exert his full strength because he was kept at a distance, let alone the others. So all those who lost found Ikki Kurogane again, hoping that he could train them. Overall, it can be considered a virtuous cycle. After all, the next [Seven Star Sword Dance Festival] will begin soon.
It was an annual martial arts festival, jointly held by seven knight academies in Japan, a competition to select the strongest student knights. This competition also affects the status and ranking of the seven academies to a certain extent. For the seven academies, it is the most important event of the year. Over the years, Pojun Academy's performance in the [Seven Star Sword Dance Festival] has been getting worse and worse. The best result was last year, when Dongtang Daohua rushed into the event. But they only made it to the semi-finals and missed out on the championship, runner-up or even third place. In order to restore the performance of Pojun Academy, Shinguji Kurono took over as the chairman of the board of directors of this school. The swordsman who can win the [Seven Star Sword Dance Festival] not only means that he is the strongest swordsman in all contemporary schools, but will also be highly valued by the [Alliance] and have a bright future. The strongest swordsman who dominates the [Seven Star Sword Dance Festival] will have an extremely enviable title - [Seven Star Sword King]. That is, at the beginning of this new semester, Pojun School will select members to participate in the [Seven Star Sword Dance Festival]. After all, the annual [Seven Stars Sword Festival] is a competition in which seven academies select the best swordsmen in the school as representative players, go to the designated stage, and compete. Each school can send six players to participate in the competition. Naturally, in order to obtain better results, those who participate in the [Seven Star Sword Festival] are basically the strongest in the school. "What are you thinking now?" Shinguji Kurono called Emiya Shirou to the office and asked slowly. If you ask why, it is that when the whole school was excited about this news, as a C-level swordsman who defeated the strongest in the academy shortly after entering school, he did not plan to participate in the [Seven Star Sword Festival], nor did he sign up for the school's ranking competition. "I prefer to watch them sweat in the audience rather than fight." The Seven Stars Sword Festival would not start until two or three months later, and Shirou Emiya knew very well that it was impossible for him to stay in this world for three months, so he had no intention of participating in this competition at all. Shirou Emiya is not from this world. He does not care about the various benefits he gets in this world, the recruitment of the country, or some enviable titles and reputations. What's more, Shirou Emiya is not a person who likes to fight. He improved his strength not for fighting, but for better protection and to have power in his hands when encountering some disaster. "Da Miyo! Emiya-chan! Kuro wants to get a good ranking in the Seven Stars Sword Festival, won't you help her? After all, Kuro helped you to forge your identity." Without any notice, without any prelude, Xijing Ningyin appeared beside Emiya Shirou, put her hand on Emiya Shirou's shoulder, and spoke to Emiya Shirou with regret on her face. “There are various reasons.” Shirou Emiya was not surprised by the sudden appearance of Saikyo Ningyin. After all, she was like she had found a very interesting toy and kept tormenting him. He no longer cares about it and has gotten used to it. Since he can't resist, he just chooses to accept it. As for this mysterious way of appearing and disappearing, Shirou Emiya also knew something about it, to be precise, after the projection of Todou Touka's samurai sword. Shirou Emiya immediately understood why he was unable to notice Saikyo Ningyin every time she appeared beside him. 【Tiptoe】 is a very advanced technique. Humans cannot understand all the information they receive like machines do, because the brain would not be able to bear it. This trick of [Tiptoe] is to let one's presence sneak into the opponent's [unconsciousness]. The result is that even though I clearly saw it, my subconscious mind thought it was unnecessary information and thus eliminated it. The result is that she is clearly walking towards you normally, but after your brain processes it, what you see is that she appears in front of you as if by teleportation.
Part of the action was eliminated by the subconscious mind. In short, it is a very powerful skill. If Emiya Shirou had not maintained a long distance when fighting with Toudou Touka, it would have been difficult for him to block the attack called [Raikiri]. By the time I react, the projection may be too late. Although Emiya Shirou now understood the working principle of this technique, he still couldn't find Saikyo Ningyin. He was afraid that she had already practiced this technique to a very advanced level. "Forget it, I won't force you."
