"So that's how it is... Looks like I can only give up on becoming a Master..."
After Tohsaka Rin's explanation, Shirou Emiya thought about how he had suffered two potentially fatal attacks in quick succession and had no choice but to make that decision.
The Holy Grail War usually did not last long. If he chose to withdraw, then according to Tohsaka Rin, a supervisor would protect him.
He just had to endure until it was over.
If it had only involved Shirou Emiya himself, he might not have made that choice so quickly.
