The Epic Story of the Heroic Spirit of Emiya Giant Warrior
#4 - Section 4
Hestia Familia, as a semi-monopolistic faction in the Labyrinth City's equipment market, not only leads the city in wealth, but also possesses powerful military strength. Those who want to join are as numerous as carps crossing the river, but more than ninety percent of them are directly rejected.
A considerable proportion of the blacksmiths in the forging familia are dwarves, and Mama Mia's high-quality, large-quantity cuisine is quite popular among the dwarves.
"Eyes?"
"Firm and unwavering, such eyes are the most captivating." Hestia smiled and said, "Moreover, there's another reason why I want to take you in."
Wei Gong looked at Hestia as his hair was being ruffled.
Although her divine power was sealed, as long as one looked at her, one could immediately feel the fiery divinity hidden beneath her beautiful face. This was a life existence that transcended humanity...
"Hmm, a good figure..." Hestia used a small knife she carried to cut her finger, and smeared divine blood on the youth's bare back.
Wei Gong Shirou

Strength: i0
Endurance: i0
Dexterity: i0

[Unlimited Blade Works]
[????????? (Roadless Valhalla)]
An adventurer's "ability value" is a numerical value generated by parameterizing the God's Grace system. It includes basic abilities, development abilities, magic, and skills. The level indicates the overall level of strength.
The basic abilities are Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Agility, and Magic Power. The numerical range for each dimension of the basic abilities is 0 ~ 999, represented by letters from I ~ S, with a total of 10 levels (I: 0 ~ 99, ..., A: 800 ~ 899, S: 900 ~ 999). The experience gained through training or combat will increase proficiency. The more frequently a skill is trained, the more prominent the proficiency and evaluation will naturally be. Generally speaking, the upper limit of basic abilities is 999, i.e., S.
Such a situation is very rare, especially the situation where one has multiple magics and skills immediately after obtaining God's Grace.
More importantly, both [Unlimited Blade Works] and [Oath of Protection] are rare skills that Hestia has never seen before. No, they should be unique skills!
Hestia read the details of the youth's magic and skills with great interest.
[Unlimited Blade Works]
Summoning Magic
Materializes mirror images and replicas of items that exist in reality using magic power.
The amount of magic power consumed to project swords and similar items is greatly reduced, and casting without incantation is possible.
Second-tier incantation

At this very moment, complete the assembly of the swords of fantasy ─ ─ ─ ─]
"A summoning magic that projects items, and there are three tiers of incantation, the third tier is not yet released...?" Hestia exclaimed, "Shirou, I must say, my familia is indeed the most suitable for you."
"I'm even starting to feel eager to personally forge a 'God's Sword' to see if this magic can replicate it!" Hestia exclaimed.
Her gaze turned to the skills. One of the skills was unreadable [?????????], which was not the first time this had happened. It may mean that the skill has not been completely awakened, and the skill may become released with adventure or leveling up.
Immune to charm. When acting to protect others, attack power and durability are increased, and the effects of magic and skills are enhanced.
When there is a close bond with the protected object, all abilities are enhanced beyond the limit, the growth of ability values is accelerated, the upper limit of ability values is broken, and the effects of magic and skills are enhanced beyond the limit.
What to say about this skill? Without a doubt, it's a super-powerful skill, but it seems to have a subtle aura about it?
"Huh?"
"No, it should be, strive to become the Harem King!"
"[Oath of Protection]... It's like a 'hero', I wonder what kind of person this child wants to protect?"
To be honest, he had somewhat anticipated that he might possess magic or skills related to [Projection], after all, this was a move he used continuously in his last battle in his previous life. The action of projection can be said to be engraved in his bones.
For a girl, he defeated six heroic spirits in one night, and continued to fight afterwards, until he burned himself out. Thinking about it now, it was indeed quite reckless.
"Shirou, your ability values have been locked and hidden, but there are methods in the world to forcibly unlock them. Be careful to protect your back, and do not reveal or expose the skill [Oath of Protection]."
"However, even if it is exposed, don't worry too much, the familia will protect you."
This is the benefit of a top-tier familia. Although the Hestia Familia is not the strongest in terms of combat power, its advantages in production and commerce make even the three strongest familias dare not easily offend the Hestia Familia, the city's strongest and largest weapon merchant.
"— Tsubaki."
The goddess took a deep breath and let out a long sigh.
Chapter 7 Please Help Me Train!
Tsubaki Collbrande, with a face as beautiful as that of an East Asian, is a [Half-Dwarf] born between a Far Eastern human and a mainland dwarf. Perhaps inheriting a strong human bloodline, she has long hands and feet, and her height reaches 170cm. Dwarves are basically short and stubby, so she often attracts the envy of some dwarves.
The valiant and beautiful woman before him is the Lv.5 adventurer nicknamed [Cyclops], the captain of the Hestia Familia. She reigns over the forging faction of Hestia Familia, which is home to many high-level blacksmiths, and is a truly top-level blacksmith in Orario.
"Don't worry, only half of the workshop was destroyed," Tsubaki said casually.
The woman in front of him directly withstood the explosion of a magic sword furnace, but didn't suffer any injuries. Lv.5 endurance, how terrifying.
Speaking of which, the first two dwarves Wei Gong came into contact with in this world, whether it was Mama Mia or the half-dwarf Tsubaki, had nothing to do with being dwarves. If he hadn't seen normal dwarves on the street, Wei Gong would have almost formed a wrong impression of the dwarf race.
"What amazing magic!" Tsubaki exclaimed, "Wait, this magic, can it project magic swords?"
"That means you can use unlimited magic swords, isn't that completely invincible?"
“Ah, so casual?”
Wei Gong, with just a recommendation letter, not only directly met the deity but also joined on the spot.
“Of course, I have to give Miya Mama face. Our kids love her cooking the most.” Hestia shrugged.
“Besides, even without Miya Mama’s recommendation, I would have taken you in.” Hestia squinted her left eye: “You have a good gaze. I have a feeling you will become a very excellent ‘Blacksmith’.”
She suddenly reached out and ruffled Wei Gong’s hair.
“Our hair is all red. Isn’t that fate?”
“Come on, first take off your clothes.”
“Yes.” Wei Gong took off his coat, revealing his youthful body. He knew that the God's Grace was opened on the back of the God's Familia by the god using divine blood.
Along with the cold touch, fluorescence lit up on the boy's back, showing the pattern of a volcano and a forging hammer, and then, as the data composed of sacred characters fluctuated, Wei Gong's ability values were revealed for the first time.
Agility: i0
Development Ability
Skill
[Oath under the Snow]
Chapter 6 [Unlimited Blade Works] and [Oath under the Snow]
“One magic, two skills?!” Hestia said in shock: “One of them is even an unreadable skill?”
The relevant information on ability values is the result of long-term verification and analysis since the descent of the gods thousands of years ago, so there is still a possibility that even the gods cannot understand in adventurers.
Development abilities have a probability of being acquired upon leveling up, and roughly include Hunter, Blacksmith, Poison Resistance, Magic Guidance, Healing, Mystery, etc. The skills that appear are related to the situation the adventurer encountered before leveling up. For example, encountering many poisonous plants or monsters that release poisonous substances before leveling up may result in the skill of Poison Resistance. The conditions for obtaining skills have not yet been fully clarified.
Anyone who has just obtained God's Grace has fixed Lv.1, ability values, and development abilities, all being 0, and empty. However, there are extremely rare people who possess magic and skills from the very beginning.
“Is this the unknown of the Lower World?” The deity couldn’t help but get excited.
It is said that Finn Deimne, the leader of the Loki Familia, also possessed multiple magic or skills upon receiving Grace. This adventurer of the Small Human race is now a famous Lv.6 adventurer in the labyrinth city, with the title [Hero].
Based on the degree of understanding of projected items, increase the magic effect
First Tier Incantation
[——Trace on]
Copy construction materials
Empathize with growth experience
Surpass, complete numerous projects ───
Third Tier Incantation
[? ? ? ? ? ?]
To better exert the power of [Unlimited Blade Works], one must increase the understanding of the projection target, and the best way to understand weapons and equipment is undoubtedly to forge them yourself.
Moreover, in addition to forging, referring to the achievements of other craftsmen, or even being personally taught by high-level craftsmen or even this God of Blacksmithing, are all ways to rapidly grow this [Unlimited Blade Works].
Of course, it is also possible that the skill itself has self-restraint characteristics, such as the skill itself having the effect of [Skill cannot be read], but this possibility is too low.
Hestia looked at another skill, [Oath under the Snow].
[Oath under the Snow]
When having a bond with a guardian target, attack power, durability, and agility are greatly increased, and the effects of magic and skills are greatly increased.
Skill effects increase according to the number and strength of bonds.
Hestia was speechless for a moment.
“...Shirou.”
“What’s wrong, Kami-sama?”
“You have the potential to become a Harem King!”
“Huh?!”
Hestia teased, and in her slightly narrowed eyes, there seemed to be immeasurable divine power flowing.
·
Wei Gong Shirou watched Hestia Kami-sama throw the paper printed with his ability values into the stove to burn it, feeling very complicated.
As for the skill [Oath under the Snow], it was probably because he gave up [Ally of Justice] and chose [Sister], this matter itself and the subsequent “sublimation” of his actions.
However, “close bond,” ah, what exactly counts as a close bond? “Sister” definitely counts, besides...
The Goddess Hestia teased Shirou with the special skill [Oath under the Snow], and then changed her tone.
“The magic [Unlimited Blade Works] cannot be hidden if used, but it’s best not to expose skills.” Hestia said, but then changed her tone again, she smiled.
How much valis do you have, daring to oppose my Hestia Familia! This adventurer, you wouldn’t want to fight monsters with inferior weapons, would you?
“Oh right, first let me introduce you to our captain—”
“Boom!”
A violent explosion interrupted the deity’s words. Wei Gong felt the ground shake a few times, and a cloud of dust fell on Hestia Kami-sama’s head.
“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t test weapons within the Familia this time. I just accidentally blew up the furnace while making a magic sword.”
The work clothes she wears are also in the Far East style, from her mother's Far East homeland, with bright red hakama pants on the lower body, and only white cloth wrapped around the chest on the upper body. Her features are neat, with black hair and red eyes. Most noteworthy is the black eye patch she wears, which is very similar to that of the deity Hestia. Compared to Hestia, who covers her right eye, she covers her left eye.

She seems to have a dark history of testing new weapons within the Familia and blowing up the Familia's building, for which she was severely criticized by the deity.
“Magic sword, huh...” Hestia sighed helplessly: “No one was hurt, right?”
A magic sword, as the name suggests, is a sword with magical abilities. It can use the magic attached to the sword without chanting, but the number of uses is limited, generally only single digits.
“Is this the Familia’s newbie? A pretty boy~”
“He’s our Familia’s future star with unlimited potential.” Hestia Kami-sama introduced Wei Gong’s magic, [Unlimited Blade Works], to Tsubaki.
Projection magic is difficult to hide if used, and the other party is a trustworthy Familia captain, so there is no need to hide it.
“Haven’t tried it, but… it should be possible, right?” Wei Gong thought for a while and replied.
“No, not to mention that the power of the projected magic sword may be weakened, magic power is also a problem.” Wei Gong analyzed: “For example, to project a magic sword that can release flame magic, it would at least consume the magic power equivalent to directly releasing that magic.”
