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

After listening to the class for five minutes, Shinji finally decided to give up. Why is this Chinese class so difficult? Isn't it just a few years of not studying that now I can't even understand the class?

You have to know that he has been studying biology, physics, and chemistry by himself over the years, any of which he could have been brought to the research institute to conduct development experiments, but he has never even seen some of the things in the current textbooks!

I reluctantly took out the exams for each subject, but was shocked. It turned out that those geniuses on TV who could get full marks without studying did not exist...

So, while Shinji was going to the toilet after class, he created a wooden clone and asked him to go to class, while he climbed over the school wall and came to his underground base.

He took out a bottle of medicine from the laboratory table. This was his cell extract. Since he knew that he had a sage body, he would naturally not give up this perfect experimental material. With strong fusion and recovery capabilities, Shinji tried to fuse his cells with the insects controlled by the Insect Control Technique, but there was no change. It might be because of the gene lock that this arthropod could not fuse with human cells. In this way, it would not be feasible to solve Sakura's problem by relying on its own cells.

Just when he was thinking about whether he should try to improve the insect-controlling technique, there was a sudden "bang" and a crow cawing flew out of the smoke. This was the crow familiar that Shinji had contracted with the summoning technique. Although it had no attack power, it could play a role in reconnaissance and could also cooperate with him in using illusions.

"Oh! Has our prince already started preparing to summon the heroic spirits?"

"It seems like it's time to pick up a fallen girl, or a fallen young woman?"

He doesn't believe in something as uncertain as fate. As soon as he came back, he started monitoring that man Kuzuki and Caster's original owner, and kept an eye on the news of other Masters. It seems that the Holy Grail War has begun!

After school in the afternoon

Shinji was not in a hurry to go home. He sorted out his ninja tool bag. This time, it was filled with hard goods, and he had someone add expansion magic. Then he picked up a knife with one hand. The blade was shiny and had no blade. It was covered with a wooden scabbard. This was a knife made of magic ore, imitating the Kusanagi sword. At this moment, Shinji wiped the knife with a sword cloth, and the reflection of the blade reflected a pair of red-glowing Sharingan...

When I returned home in the evening, I saw that Sakura was hiding and acting a little abnormal, so I grabbed her arm, and sure enough!

Three strange patterns suddenly appeared on the back of Sakura's hand. Shinji looked straight into her eyes without saying anything. He intended to listen to Sakura's explanation.

In the end, Sakura could no longer bear the pressure of her brother's gaze, and told him everything from the appearance of the Command Seal to how she was taken to the summoning ceremony by Matou Zouken, and even the true name of her Heroic Spirit and the effect of her Noble Phantasm!

"You really have nothing to hold back on me!"

"Of course. After all, Sakura would never hide anything from Nissan on purpose!"

"Really? Then why haven't I heard you talk about insect control?"

"!!!"

When Sakura heard the words "Insect Control Technique", her pupils instantly shrank into pinholes, her breathing stagnated for a moment, and she turned her head stiffly to look at Shinji who had a calm expression. Now she was probably sure that her brother already knew everything about this matter!

"Is it...Grandpa who said that...?"

Sakura knelt weakly on the ground, a broken expression on her face, and her eyes became as dull as they were ten years ago.

“Why…why? Why!?”

"That damn old man clearly promised me!"

Seeing Sakura who seemed to be completely broken, Shinji did not appreciate his sister's bad taste of collapse. He walked to the sofa and sat down calmly.

"Although it was indeed that old bug who told me, why do you think I wouldn't know it if the old bug didn't tell me?"

Hearing this, Sakura, who was on the verge of collapse, looked up at Shinji.

"In the past ten years, whenever I think about how my lovely sister was tortured to death by that old bug Matou Zouken, I couldn't even sleep well."

While he was saying something that made Sakura's pupils tremble again, he was flipping through a magic book that he had taken out from somewhere.

"People often say that the unknown is the greatest fear, but in my opinion, knowing in advance that tragedy is coming but being completely powerless to stop it, and even having to pretend calmly that nothing has happened, is even more insane!"

At this moment, Sakura suddenly discovered that her brother's eyes had turned into a pair of blood-red pupils containing black magatama!

Magic Eye!

But her brother clearly didn't even have any magic circuits, so how could he possibly possess the magic eyes that were only passed down from generation to generation by very few magic families!

Shinji looked at Sakura, who had forgotten to cry due to the continuous shock, and looked at her with a smile.

……

three years ago

"Shinji, come with me."

Some time after Matou Tsuruno's death, the old bug suddenly found him. Although he was surprised, Shinji, who was extremely confident in his confidentiality measures, followed him without hesitation...

They walked through the basement and came to the "insect room" that Sakura was most reluctant for him to know about.

"I remember that seven years ago you wanted to learn the magic of controlling insects like Sakura?"

After saying that, he pointed to the center of the densely packed insects below. A young girl was standing in the middle of the swarm with an expressionless face. The insects flying around were almost tearing the fragile girl to pieces!

Shinji lived up to Zouken Matou's expectations and showed a frightened expression, but the anger in his eyes that could hardly be hidden was suppressed by Shinji's remaining rationality.

"Don't worry, you don't have any magic circuits, so you don't need to be like her."

He was then introduced to the rules of the Holy Grail War and given a magic book.

"It can transfer the contract between the Heroic Spirit and the Master. Although you have no talent for magic, this book can give you the ability to contract a Heroic Spirit."

Under the expectant gaze of Matou Zouken, Shinji took the book with a look of confusion and secret joy on his face...

……

"So, you are Rider?"

In front of Shinji, a tall, plump lady with long pink and purple hair stood there, wearing an eye mask that seemed to be made of a special material. After hearing what Shinji said, the lady nodded obediently.

"follow me."

Shinji said this and left without looking back.

Medusa looked at Sakura with hesitation on her face...

"Rider, until I use the Command Spell to summon you, my brother is your Master, and his words are mine!"

After receiving the order, Rider disappeared from the spot and ran in the direction Shinji left.

That's right, Shinji did not take Sakura's Servant. After all, he would soon have a Servant too. He just asked Sakura for the right to use Rider, and asked Sakura to use the Command Spell to summon Rider immediately when in danger.

Shinji brought Sister R to his underground base. When they reached an open area, Shinji drew out his "Kusagi Sword" and pointed it at Sister R.

"Come on, let me test the power of the legendary hero!"

Then it disappeared in an instant. When Sister R reacted, a flash of knife light was already in front of her face. She hurriedly summoned two knives to block the incoming blades, but the power transmitted from her arms made Sister R feel frightened. [Is this really the power that humans can possess?]

The tip of the knife turned downward to relieve some of the force, and Sister R dodged away from the difficult man in front of her. Although strength was not her strong point, Medusa, who now relied on Sakura's magic to fight, could barely be ranked among the ranks of first-class servants. However, she almost couldn't withstand the attack of the human in front of her!

But Shinji didn't think so. He knew his own business. He had just activated his super strength technique to its maximum power in an instant, aiming to kill Rider with one blow, but he still lost his strength and escaped when Rider was caught off guard.

After the attack, both of them put away the contempt in their hearts, stood facing each other, and disappeared at the same time in the next second. The sound of "ping pong pong" of metal clashing could be heard all around, but no one was seen. The speed of the two was so fast that they could not be caught by ordinary people!

The next moment, Shinji was the first to show up, his clothes were full of holes, and blood was oozing out of several spots. In contrast, Sister R only had two big holes on her chest and back. Especially the huge damage on her chest revealed a large area of ​​her spring scenery. It seemed that her pride as a woman dragged her down in the battle.

Shinji was completely defeated in this confrontation!

Without taking his own situation into consideration, Shinji activated his Sharingan this time and rushed towards Sister R with his sword in hand again. As soon as the fight started, Medusa felt something was wrong, and her sword was sealed!

Although she was horrified, she still relied on her superb martial arts to overpower Shinji, but soon she found that Shinji was breaking her sword moves at an astonishing speed, and the two separated again.

This time, Medusa was cut on the thigh, and Shinji was only scratched three times on the arm at the beginning, but in the subsequent attacks, Medusa could no longer leave any wounds on him!

"Let's change our tactics next. Shinji then put away his Kusanagi sword and took out... the same double swords as Rider's!

"It's never a waste to have many skills!"
