Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

"This...what is this..."

Rin and Sakura both had expressions of disbelief on their faces, looking at the messy lawn in front of them in shock.

You don't even need to pay attention to the broken statues and the uneven ground...just the exaggerated big pit in the center is quite eye-catching.

As for the culprit behind all this...

"Ha...ha...that's so scary! I was almost killed by you!"

Shirou Emiya held onto the ground and sat next to the big pit with a look of fear on his face.

Shinji was floating in the air in a very magical way. After hanging in the air for a while, he slowly fell to the ground. Compared with Shirou's dusty clothes, he looked quite clean and tidy.

"No... I underestimated you. It's obvious that your magic power is not enough to fight a protracted war with me, but I didn't expect you to have this trick..."

Shinji looked at the many sword fragments at his feet, pulled out a relatively intact broken blade from the ground, and threw it towards Shirou.

Even though it was just a casual throw, the broken blade still shot towards the opponent with a sound of breaking through the air. Fortunately, it was finally firmly grasped by Shirou with one hand.

"Ah, after all, I know my own shortcomings, so whenever I have some free time, I start to project my treasures like crazy, just so that when I face the enemy at this time... I won't be unarmed and embarrassed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shirou took out a bow and without saying a word, he put the broken blade in his hand on the string as an arrow.

And as his hands exerted force, the broken blade gradually became thinner and longer, just like a real arrow!

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, the arrow, carrying a stream of air, instantly rushed towards Shinji, but he had already seen through this trick.

With a "pop" sound, the arrow that flew at a speed faster than the speed of sound was directly caught by the hand.

Even as Shinji exerted force, the metal arrow in his hand broke directly and turned into countless points of light and disappeared...

But when Shinji turned around, the red-haired boy in front of him once again drew his bow and arrow, aiming a long spiral arrow at him.

"Shinji, you still won't show your true abilities! Even if you're letting me win, you don't have to do it this hard, right?"

"It's not that I don't want to show my real ability, but this is enough to deal with you. You know, I don't even dare to use my strength against ordinary people..."

"Whoosh!"

【Fake? Spiral Sword】!

A gust of wind pressure spread from the soles of Shirou's feet, and the moment he loosened his hand, the strange-looking arrow in his hand disappeared directly from its original place, as if it had crossed the space, and arrived in front of Shinji's face in the blink of an eye.

The speed was so fast that most people could not react at all, so when it came in front of Shinji, he was still in the posture where he had just broken the arrow.

Seeing the attack was imminent, Shinji still did not show any sign of panic.

He opened his clenched fists and stretched out his arms to block the incoming arrow.

Then, an invisible field appeared in front of Shinji, and the arrow that had just been flying forward seemed to fall into a quagmire, stuck in mid-air and unable to move forward, the arrowhead was still trembling slightly...

"That is?"

Shirou looked at the barrier-like thing that blocked his attack and felt it was very unfamiliar.

It looks like wind pressure, but the light there seems to be distorted, which is not something wind pressure can do...

As expected, Shinji has learned stronger moves in the past two years! If he continues like this, he might not even be able to see the purple giant and will be completely defeated.

"That won't do... Opportunities like this don't come around often. At least... at least let me see the gap between us!"

"...Um?"

On the other side, Shinji looked at the arrow in front of him and suddenly trembled violently, and the concentration of magic power soared sharply.

"This brat...actually wanted to use that move here!? That's not like you!"

"【Fantasy Collapse】!"

A white light hit Shinji's face. It came from the arrow in front of him, and now this arrow... no, it can no longer be called an "arrow".

The thing in front of him now is a miniature nuclear bomb!

Although its power is much less than that of the Holy Grail War, it is still comparable to the power of high explosives. If it explodes directly in front of your face, it is still a bit threatening...

Of course, just a little bit...

"...Shinra Tensei!"

The distorted force field in front of Shinji suddenly began to expand and spread into the air along with the explosion.

"boom!"

There was another huge explosion, and the arrow shot by Shirou directly exploded into a mushroom cloud like a nuclear bomb explosion!

However, the explosion ended, but the large force field around Shinji had not ended... The strong repulsive force repelled the impact, fragments and smoke caused by the explosion, forming a transparent sphere there.

And because the light is distorted, from the outside, you can only barely see the human-shaped black shadow inside...

After dozens of seconds, the invisible repulsive force gradually dissipated, and Shinji fell to the ground from the floating state, while his altitude dropped again.

But there is still no dust on the body, still clean and tidy...

"Well... you should have understood by now, right? Our strengths are no longer on the same level. In fact, I didn't even take myself into account in the answer I just gave you."

"..."

Shirou did not reply, as if he was still trying to make a final struggle, while Shinji stood in the spherical vacuum environment, looking at the other party through the smoke and dust outside, with an aura that seemed to end the battle in an instant.

"【Projection starts..."

"You are right. My strength is indeed far from comparable to yours."

"Roar!?"

"but..."

Shirou used the last bit of magic power in his body to project a pair of black and white swords, and walked through the smoke to a short distance in front of Shinji:

"... Even so, I want to see how big the gap is between me and those strong people. Otherwise, if I live in this comfort zone for the rest of my life, my dream will cry!"

...When the smoke and dust cleared, Shinji turned around and looked at the countless Noble Phantasms floating around him.

No, there aren't countless of them, but at a glance there must be at least a few hundred of them. These are probably the projection treasures that the other party has saved.

"These are all the stock I have! Come on Shinji!"

"...Wait a minute! What on earth are you two doing?!"

Toosaka Rin looked like she was ready to fight, so she ran over quickly. However, she felt extremely devastated when she saw the yard around her being destroyed.
