Chapter 153

"Amazing! It actually hit a spell!"

The Sniper Team member who was standing nearby originally wanted to befriend Shirou, but he changed his mind when he saw Shirou break the moving spell.

He not only needed to befriend the other party, but he also needed to exchange sniping experience with them!

"Uh... it's alright."

Faced with the enthusiastic members of the Royal Knights of the Round Table, Shirou silently took a step back.

Even after working at Penguin Logistics for so long, he still hasn't gotten used to the enthusiastic communication from others.

It should be said that the attitude of the current Knights of the Round Table members is very different from that of everyone at Penguin Logistics.

The person before him was overflowing with reverence and admiration, and Shirou was somewhat at a loss in the face of such a person.

He didn't feel he deserved to be treated that way.

"Don't be modest. Being able to accurately hit the spell at this distance and under such terrible conditions is enough to prove your ability."

Seeing that Shirou seemed a little uncomfortable, the member wisely took a step back to create some distance.

After all, he's a big shot! It's normal for him to have a temper and some strange habits.

Respecting the other party's wishes is also very important.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Seeing that the other party had toned down considerably, Shirou breathed a sigh of relief.

He was just considering whether or not to just run away.

The two remained awkwardly in this position for a while, until Chen, speaking over the communication channel, finally broke the silence.

"The Sniper Team, pack up and return to your unit. Shirou, come down here and report for duty."

After cleaning up the scene, Chen signaled for everyone to return to their positions.

Swire also took the seven suspects and brought them back to the Knights of the Round Table ahead of time.

However, before leaving, she seemed to keep saying that she needed to find a way to have a proper talk with Shirou about his life ideals, and that she couldn't let Shirou just fail because of that Bratty Dragon.

Chen didn't know if the other party had deliberately left their communicator on, wanting to start a fight.

That's not important; we'll have plenty of time to confront them once we get back.

The reason for calling Shirou down first was simple: he wasn't part of the Sniper Team, so he didn't need to help pack things up.

The Sniper Team is great in every way, except that they have to carry crossbows and a huge amount of bolts every time they go on a mission.

I wonder if Shirou's Originium Arts of hand-crafting arrows can be promoted. If it is successfully promoted, the practicality of the Sniper Team will be greatly enhanced.

However, she didn't intend to have Shirou teach her, since Originium Arts is a very mysterious thing.

While it's not exactly difficult to learn, some very basic spells can be used effectively with a staff as long as one receives proper training.

They say they're eager to learn, but some people just can't even cast basic spells, even with guidance from a renowned teacher.

Chen belongs to the latter category.

She couldn't wield an ordinary staff effectively, and she didn't know why.

However, her main means of attack still comes from the two swords in her hands, so she doesn't care that much about it.

Especially the sword at her waist, that was her trump card.

Although it works sometimes and sometimes it doesn't, and she herself finds it difficult to control.

If Shirou hadn't intervened, she would have had to gamble that she could pull it out this time.

Even if she didn't draw it, her other standard-issue sword would have been enough to withstand the fireball's attack; she would only inevitably suffer some minor cuts and bruises.

"Chen, what should I do now?"

As soon as Shirou got off, he saw Chen standing next to the Knights of the Round Table vehicle. Her face was a little gray, but there were no obvious external injuries.

If nothing unexpected happens... this layer of dust must have been caused by his attack just now.

Thinking of this, Shirou's tone softened.

"You did a great job this time. Get in the car, we're heading back to the Knights of the Round Table."

Chen, who was in a daze, came to his senses after hearing Shirou's voice and immediately gestured for him to get in the car.

152 Shirou blinded the eyes of the Knights of the Round Table.

A few days later, Emiya's internship at the Shirou Knights of the Round Table got on track.

Chen and Hoshiguma no longer needed to assign tasks to Shirou. The Sniper Team would come to Shirou almost every day to chat and make tea, and then drag him to the Knights of the Round Table 'Shirou shooting range.

The two tacitly agreed to this, thinking it better to see if Emiya could boost the morale of the Sniper Team than to have Shirou handle the paperwork.

As a result, the Knights of the Round Table's Sniper Team experienced a long-awaited surge of enthusiasm, rushing to finish their work every day and then immediately reporting to the shooting range.

"They're really in high demand."

Seeing Shirou being dragged away once again, Hoshiguma smiled helplessly and said.

This is fine as it is now. She was worried that Shirou Penguin Logistics' identity would make it difficult for him to communicate with the Knights of the Round Table.

Now... it's pretty unnecessary for the three of them to worry.

"However, their progress is quite obvious. I've also taken the time to watch them a few times, and Shirou's teaching level is quite high."

Chen, who was sitting to the side, said to Hoshiguma while tidying up his work.

How tall?

Seeing Chen's high praise, Hoshiguma expressed her curiosity.

Even if she's not in a hurry, she won't go to the Sniper Team; instead, she'll train with the heavy armor group.

"... to the point where even I feel I can do it?"

Chen paused his work for a moment and said.

This is something I genuinely believe. Chen took advantage of a lull in his work to go and check out the situation there, and discovered that the other party had a certain understanding of bows, crossbows, and even firearms.

However, unlike the previous two who would personally demonstrate, Shirou basically only gave verbal explanations when it came to firearms.

According to me, it seems there's no way to trigger the spells mentioned above.

Yes, the person who could casually pull out a longbow, arrows, and swords actually said that his Originium Arts had very low adaptability. When she heard that, she almost drew her Chixiao and asked the other person if he could speak like a human.

However, after calming down, I realized that what Shirou said wasn't entirely unreasonable; perhaps he just happened to be weak in this area.

As for what exactly Shirou's Originium Arts were, Chen didn't ask.

After all, the internship agreement signed with Penguin Logistics explicitly prohibits it, and unless Shirou himself speaks up, the Knights of the Round Table cannot ask him on his own initiative.

From this perspective, it seems that Penguin Logistics has done a good job protecting Shirou.

"Wow... I'll have to find some time to go and take a look. How about now?"

Hearing this evaluation from Chen, Hoshiguma felt that if she rushed over now, she should be able to see Shirou conducting the first batch of teaching and training.

"Don't even think about slacking off, you still haven't processed those documents."

Seeing that Hoshiguma was already packing her things to leave, Chen pointed to the large stack of documents on her desk and said.

"Haha, we've been found out!"

Upon hearing Chen's words, Hoshiguma stopped what she was doing.

She was just saying it casually; she wouldn't actually dare to go to Shirou to watch the commotion.

Although there was no rush to process the documents and materials on hand, Hoshiguma knew that it would be bad if he got into a habit of procrastination.

It's fine for her to rest properly with Old Chen; she's not some kind of demon.

Besides, although Old Chen is strict, he also sets a good example, so few people complain about his behavior.

It's rare, not nonexistent.

"If you want to go, at least deal with one-third of it first, and then have Shirou help you deal with the rest this afternoon."

Finally, Chen relaxed the conditions slightly.

Recently, due to some cases being stalled, their inspection team has been under a lot of pressure.

"Does he have a fever?"

Upon hearing Chen's words, Hoshiguma's first reaction was not to cheer, but to search for the thermometer.

"... Take it or leave it."

Chen rolled his eyes at Hoshiguma's reaction, then began to deal with the work at hand.

On the other side, at the Knights of the Round Table's sniping range.

"Lower your center of gravity a bit, as this type of crossbow has a stronger recoil."

Shirou reached out and adjusted the posture of the Knights of the Round Table member in front of him, then pointed to the large crossbow in the other's hand and briefly explained the reason.

He doesn't know why, but recently a lot of people have been coming to him asking about the key points of shooting.

Shirou's own teaching experience was limited to simple instruction at the archery club, and even then, he wasn't a particularly good teacher.

However, with so many people asking, he couldn't very well refuse.

I can only make simple adjustments based on my own experience, and so far the results are quite good.

The method is quite simple: first, parse it once, and then simulate your own usage scenario.

Although it may not be suitable for the other person.

After all, everyone has their own preferred way of fighting.

"Wow, the shooting feels much better now."

A Knights of the Round Table officer, holding a giant crossbow, knelt on the ground, with five crossbow bolts stuck in the target in front of him.

Perhaps due to psychological comfort or good luck, his shooting was more stable this time than before.

"There are no major problems in other aspects. Just keep at it and let your body get used to this shooting posture."

Shirou had seen the enemy fire several times and realized there wasn't much of a problem.

With mechanical weapons like bows and crossbows, all you need to do is aim and fire. As long as you have the right shooting posture and good aiming skills, you can hit the bullseye quite well.

As for the impact of recoil... it's not significant.

Whether it's firearms or crossbows, only weapons that fire in rapid succession will have recoil issues.

Single-shot firing usually has little impact, unless you're aiming for very precise strikes, in which case you'll likely pursue this aspect to some extent.

However, Shirou doesn't need to worry too much about this. Putting aside the fact that he uses a bow, with the support of Reinforcement Magic, he doesn't really need to worry about recoil.

If you really need to worry about recoil... then you should first consider what kind of enemy you're facing that even Imaginary Break wouldn't be able to destroy.

However, the more experience one accumulates, the better. While teaching others, Shirou himself is also enriching himself.

After teaching this one, there are still many more to come.

Looking at the densely packed people in the sniping range, Shirou felt exhausted.

I Ansuo what the situation is like on the other side.

Forget it, stop thinking about it. If we don't hurry, these people will squeeze every last drop of his lunch break.

"Wow... Shirou is teaching very diligently."

Outside the sniper range, Exusiai and Croissant craned their necks to look inside, while Texas openly peered through the glass window.

Their reason for being here was simple: they accidentally drove too fast and happened to run into Swire on the road.

I won't say anything more; the more I talk about it, the sadder I get.

Since they were already there, they decided to say hello to Swire and were led over by Shirou.

It was quite novel; the group felt as if they had seen another side of Shirou.

How should I put it... it's like having a kind and gentle elder at home, but then discovering a tough side of that elder when you deliver something to their workplace.

The person who so kindly takes care of your daily life is teaching others how to use weapons elsewhere.

It sounds pretty exciting no matter how you look at it.
