A Dangerously Out-of-Control Competition

The students inside responded with a laugh, then turned around and chatted noisily with the others who had formed different small circles about their holiday experiences. Some even excitedly waved their hands and feet, making exaggerated body language to express their excitement.

Yuihama waved in their direction and then continued chatting with her friend.

Just then, the Saika walked over, put her hands behind her back, and gave the boy a cute smile, saying, "Good morning, Shirou. I heard from Yui- chan that you've been very active this holiday. You've worked hard!"

"Ah, good morning, Saika. Although it was a complete mess back then, it's all over now." Shirou said with a light laugh, recalling the previous experience, which was truly epic and there wasn't a moment to rest.

"If I were a little better at tennis, maybe we could have traveled together," Saika said regretfully.

"Don't worry about it, it's great that we can go to school together. Please take care of me this year as well," Shirou said.

"Nice to meet you, this is the right place." Saika, the little angel, shook hands tightly with Shirou and said.

"Shirou-kun ~! Good morning! You were surrounded by a group of boys just now, what happened? Were they perverts?!" Ebina ran up to him, asking excitedly.

The woman was on a rampage; her pupils were obscured by the light from her glasses, but her nostrils were flared as she exhaled heavily.

"You've misunderstood. They were just asking me a question." Shirou took two steps back, distancing himself from the woman.

This awkward situation instantly brought the boy back to the feeling of school life from the previous semester, and everything returned to this subtle daily routine.

After a while, the teacher arrived, and everyone began their first lesson of the new semester.

Time passed slowly, and when the free time for lunch break arrived, Shirou walked straight out of the classroom and went to the first-year international class.

"Ah, what are you doing here, senpai?" As she passed by other classrooms, Iroha Isshiki walked out of the classroom and saw Shirou, asking him.

"Yeah, I'm going to the international class to see some friends," Shirou said.

"Which girl are you looking for? Ah! Could it be one of those students who transferred from abroad? I know her, the exchange program was a great success."

And several stunning beauties came too, including the daughter of a renowned, talented painter who returned from Europe. The principal and teachers are even planning a solo exhibition for her. That's really amazing!

"They're from a completely different world than the students in our regular class," Iroha Isshiki said, waving her phone with a sigh.

"I know," Shirou replied calmly.

"So, he really is someone you know, senior?" Iroha Isshiki asked.

"Well, actually they're staying at my house," Shirou said.

"Eh? Living together?! Shirou-senpai... if this continues, you might really be in for a bloody disaster." Iroha Isshiki exclaimed in surprise, then suddenly changed her tone and lowered her voice.

"When we met before, Eriri ~ I told you, right? Hehehe, if you're not careful, things might really get bad."

"Huh?" Shirou felt a chill run down his spine for a moment, and asked with wide eyes, "What's going on?"

"Hahaha! Did you scare me? I was just kidding, hahaha, well then, goodbye!" Iroha Isshiki instantly reverted to her cheerful and carefree smile and left with light steps.

"Huh? Oh well, it shouldn't be any big deal." Shirou watched the girl's departing figure, smiled one last time, and put those thoughts out of his mind.

At this moment, in the first-grade international class, after class, everyone cleaned up their desks and began preparing for lunch. The children who brought their own lunches would set up their desks together and eat while chatting.

Children who didn't bring their own lunch can choose to buy bread at the convenience store or order food at the cafeteria, where both rice and noodles are readily available.

The girls in the classroom weren't in a hurry to eat lunch; instead, they came to the new girls.

On the first day of school, the girls were surprised to find three girls in their class who were all top-tier in appearance, and they were even foreign girls who had come from afar. So as soon as get out of class ended, the girls all gathered around in unison.

First, there is the quiet girl Shiina Mashiro sitting in her seat. Both her parents are children of artists who have returned from abroad. She studied oil painting with famous painters from a young age, and by her teens, she had won many awards. In the European art circle, she was even hailed as a child prodigy.

The fact that such a girl chose to come here clearly suggests that she has some secret behind it. This thought piqued the curiosity of the girls, who couldn't resist going up to greet her.

Hello, Shiina-kun.

"Hello." Mashiro nodded, responding casually to the new classmate's greeting.

"Hey! You guys, move aside." The cool and handsome girl with light blonde hair carried a table to Mashiro's table, looking at her with a cold and arrogant gaze, and said calmly.

"Yes!!" Upon hearing Artoria's words, the girls quickly stepped aside.

The woman walking over was a cool and aloof young woman, with a Western-style cold beauty vibe. Her voice wasn't loud, but it was hard to refuse her.

"Um... can we have lunch together too?" the girls asked, mustering their courage.

"Whatever you want." Artoria unpacked Mashiro's bento box, then took out a thick, double-compartment bento box, placed it on her own desk, and only then did she agree.

"Thank you, we can exchange food!" With permission granted, the girls took out their bento boxes and showed them off, which contained meat patties, baby octopus, fried chicken nuggets, popcorn chicken, and other similar items.

"Then come sit down quickly." Artoria nodded, agreeing readily this time.

At this moment, Artoria took out the cup she had brought and slowly poured a cup of hot soup for Mashiro.

"Ria is so cool! She's so cool, a little intimidating. But she's also very gentle and has a lot of patience with Mashiro. And Mashiro, who is obediently accepting her care, is so cute." The girls, who had witnessed all this, clasped their hands together and exclaimed in admiration.

The silver-haired girl on the other side also received a warm welcome, but compared to the Hegemon-King Artoria and the Mashiro, Jeanne d'Arc didn't know how to deal with these girls. If it were before, she would have simply knocked them away.

But this was Shirou's school, and she had agreed from the beginning to abide by the rules here. So she couldn't move freely and could only endure the questions from her female classmates, her anger growing stronger.

"Jenny, your Japanese is very good. Are you from London?"

"No!"

"Jenny, do you know about the Rose of Versailles? Oscar and André! Queen Mary and Philson!"

"I don't know! Who are those two in front?"

"Jenny, Jenny..." The endless barrage of questions kept coming.

BOOM!!

The noisy girls around were startled.

"It's so noisy! Stop coming over and asking so many questions!" Jeanne d'Arc of Arc, resisting being surrounded and talked to by strangers, slammed her hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and walked out the door.

"How scary... I thought France would be so elegant..." The frightened girls whispered among themselves.

"Could she be a delinquent girl from France?"

Just as she stepped out the door, she bumped into the boy who happened to be walking in that direction.

"Ah! Jeanne d'Arc."

"Hey! Shirou?"

"Is that Shirou, the second-year student?" a girl recognized Shirou at the door and said.

"That famous Shirou- senpai?!" The other girls, hearing the boy's name, also curiously peeked over.

The gossipy girl chattered on and on. "Right, right! The ace of the Kyudo Club, the famous nice guy, seemingly harmless, a good boy to everyone, but the strange thing is that he has unusual relationships with almost all the beautiful girls in the school, yet he doesn't seem to be dating anyone."

Just then, a girl came over, pushed up her glasses (a flash of white light appeared), and said with a strange laugh, "Heh heh heh, you guys don't know, do you? According to reliable sources from Shirou- senpai's classmates, he already has someone he likes, but he hasn't said anything because he's worried about how others feel."

"Hmm?" A sharp glint flashed in Artoria's eyes on the other side.

"..." Even the dazed Mashiro couldn't help but prick up her ears.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Yes! Shirou- senpai's true love is Saika from the tennis club, but Hayama, Tobe, and other boys in his class also deeply love Shirou- senpai, so he hasn't made a choice yet."

"Huh? Hayama- senpai from the soccer club?! You're kidding, right? It doesn't seem like it. But... he seems to have rejected a lot of girls' confessions too!" the girls exclaimed.

The girl, adjusting her glasses, continued, "According to reliable sources, he managed to conquer men from three different countries during his exchange program! He even tried to seduce the boys, dragging them from the girls' dormitory to the boys' dormitory. He's utterly shameless, hehehehehehe..."

"Although it's unlikely, imagining it like this might surprisingly feel quite exciting." A few of the girls in the international class seemed to have awakened something, with black energy emanating from their bodies, and the classroom seemed to begin to fill with a rotten smell like fermented Surströmming.

"Right, right... slurp" The bespectacled girl had found a new kindred spirit for her corrupting influence.

However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and there are quite a few girls who don't like this view.

"Wait! Drooling! Your drool is about to spill out!" The girls around them jumped back in a panic.

"It's impossible for Shirou- senpai to be gay! Look at him! He looks like a girl in love!"

Uncomfortable being surrounded by people, the silver-haired girl stepped out of the doorway and happened to meet the boy who had just arrived. Their eyes met briefly, and she blushed instantly with a hint of shyness before quickly turning her head away.

"Could it be that she's actually a good girl?" the girls exclaimed in surprise.

They're over there by the door right now.

"Jeanne d'Arc, are you going out?" Shirou asked the silver-haired girl with a puzzled look.

"Nothing much, just looking for a quieter place to eat. But what brings you here?" Jeanne d'Arc said, pursing her lips.

'As expected, he's not quite used to campus life here,' Shirou thought to himself.

After all, Jeanne d'Arc Alter, as the other side of the historical Saintess who was burned at the stake, was originally a free and unrestrained person. Suddenly, she came here and had to abide by all kinds of laws and school rules.

"I actually just came to check on you and the other two," Shirou said, glancing at Artoria and Mashiro, who were surrounded by excitement. It seemed they didn't need to worry.

"Is... is that so? I don't have any problems at all," Jeanne d'Arc said stubbornly, looking at the boy.

"Don't worry, you'll get used to it quickly. I believe you'll be fine Jeanne d'Arc," Shirou said encouragingly, patting the girl's head with a gentle laugh.

"Stop nagging! Stop touching my head! I'll go back to eat, okay?" Jeanne d'Arc blushed and slapped away the boy's warm hand from her head.

"How about we go out for lunch together?" Shirou kindly suggested.

"No need!" Jeanne d'Arc, carrying her lunchbox, quickened her pace. Finally, silence descended between Artoria and Mashiro.

"I see..." These girls, who had been observing this scene, seemed to understand something.

"Wow, that shy expression is just too much!" the girl exclaimed excitedly. Seeing that expression, she felt that if she were a boy, she would be the only one who could marry her.

"I've really seen something wonderful. So cute, Jenny! Looks like we misunderstood her before." The girl wiped away tears of emotion from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Yes, if it's that smile, even if we can't inherit the ceremony, it would be good to just watch over her from the sidelines." The girls said, their hands clasped together, their faces full of affection.

And so, the silver-haired girl's image in the class changed from that of a delinquent France girl to that of a strong-willed French haughty girl. Even though she was sharp-tongued, her classmates, who saw through her true nature, maintained a very good attitude towards her throughout the school year.

Chapter 301 Berserk Dangerous Competition

After school, Shirou brought the two Servant girls to the Service Club, wanting to introduce Jeanne d'Arc and Artoria to the other members. From now on, they would all be partners protecting this world together.

Inside the classroom, only three girls Yuihama: Yukino Yukinoshita reading, Asuna playing games, and Yuihama happily tapping on her phone. Mash seemed to be at Chaldea side, busy working with Gudako, and had taken leave from school today.

"Everyone, I've brought them with me. They're the Servant Artoria and Jeanne d'Arc, whom I've met at my house before. Please take good care of them from now on," Shirou said, introducing them to the group.

"This is Yukino Yukinoshita, a second-year international student. She's our strategist and strategist. The Heroic Servant she can summon with 100% accuracy are Atalanta, the Greek heroine, and Ushiwakamaru, one of the three tragic heroes of the Japanese land. She usually stays here to analyze intelligence," Shirou introduced the two Servant girls beside him.

"I can be useful in crucial moments, so it's okay if I have less stamina!" Yukino retorted, unconvinced.

"This is Yui Yuigahama, my classmate. She possesses 100% accurate summoning of Servant, including the famous Japanese oni 'Ibaraki Doji' and Suzuka Gozen."

"Anyway... what's going on? Shirou, you were silent for a moment, weren't you!? Is it really that hard for you to think of one of my strengths?" Yuihama stood up and protested.

"This is Asuna Yuuki. She is also a second-year student in the international class. Her 100% Possessed Heroic Servant is Minamoto no Raikō. She herself is a first-class warrior and a particularly trustworthy partner."

"Oh, Shirou, I get shy when you praise me like that. Miss Artoria, Miss Jeanne d'Arc, since we're friends, you can just call me Asuna. Nice to meet you in the future," the girl said with a smile.

"Just call us by our names. We are students of this school now, no different from everyone else," Artoria said.

"Hmm, it feels more comfortable calling me that. After all, it's awkward to say it like that, since I'm bringing a classmate along." Jeanne d'Arc nodded in agreement after hearing Artoria's words.

"Me too, I think so too! Then let's just call each other by our first names," Yuihama a smile.

"Well, it's decided then. Anyway, please have a seat." Yukino Yukinoshita put down her book and said to the two Servant girls.

"Here, please have some." Asuna then finished brewing the tea and handed it to the boy.

"Thank you, Asuna." Shirou accepted the tea with both hands and expressed his gratitude.

"You're welcome, Shirou. If you really want to thank me, then just come play games with me next time," Asuna said with Shirou gentle smile.

"Yes, I know. I'll be there whenever I have time." Shirou nodded, agreeing.

"It's a date then." In high spirits, Asuna smiled and turned to Artoria and Jeanne d'Arc, placing the tea in front of them and saying with a smile, "Artoria, Jeanne d'Arc, please enjoy."

"Thanks," Jeanne d'Arc said, taking the tea.

Next, Yukino will analyze the future strategic policy for everyone.

Shirou looked at the girl approvingly and sighed, "She's really reliable. I feel relieved to have her in Yukino's care."

"What? Don't try to push all the problems of this world onto me, Shirou." Yukino looked at the boy and warned him.

"I know," Shirou replied with a dry laugh, as expected, she was still as perceptive as ever.

"Artoria, as the King of Knights, I am not in a position to say anything, but please consider this as a suggestion and listen to my humble opinion," Yukino Yukinoshita said respectfully.

"No, as a commander, I am ultimately dealing with wars fought with cold weapons more than 1,500 years ago. I would also like to hear the opinions of modern wise men." Although Artoria Alter tends to be the aloof and domineering Hegemon-King, she humbly looked at the girl and asked for her advice.

"Yes, I hope everyone can protect this world together without revealing yourselves. Now that you've also gained physical bodies and want to live here for a long time, I think it's necessary for you to abide by the rules of this world." Yukino Yukinoshita said, looking directly at the two girls. She had her own principles and sense of justice.

Artoria nodded silently.
