Heroic Spirit · Free Coach · Teaches Himself · Mr. Emiya / The Poor TV, Destroyed by a Heroic Spirit

Rin's kick was embarrassing not only for Shinji in real life, but also for Shinji on TV.

In order to get revenge on Rin, Shinji Matou is ready to activate his scumbag mode.

Unfortunately, Shinji's hand had just touched his thigh and before he could even make a move, it was interrupted.

Lancer suddenly appeared and then punched "Scumbag II" away.

Seeing Shinji lying unconscious to one side, the male viewers felt a complex mix of emotions.

On the one hand, they were relieved that Miss Rin had not been "ruined," but on the other hand, they were also disappointed that the forced interruption prevented them from seeing further benefits.

"I wonder what Tohsaka- senpai will think when she sees this," Sakura sighed regretfully. "It's such a shame that she went to study in Britain and I can't see her reaction right away."

I reckon she won't be able to see it.

Shinji's lips curled into a wide grin as he thought of something.

"It's said that this guy has already blown up five TVs so he can watch TV in the dorm. Waver has already banned Rin from using any electronic devices in the dorm."

"The TV exploded?"

Artoria and Sakura asked simultaneously, full of curiosity.

"Because labor costs in Britain are too high, Rin decided to assemble the TV herself. God knows how she managed to turn a TV into a bomb."

In order to save Rin's last bit of face, Shinji didn't finish telling him what Waver had said to him.

These explosions nearly destroyed Rin's dorm room and also affected the dorm next door, which happened to be occupied by a young lady from Northern Europe.

As the saying goes, fate is a mystery that cannot be explained.

In Shinji's view, the fact that the two young ladies met at the Clock Tower in this Parallel world can only be described as a destined encounter.

And then, that was it.

Although the Third Holy Grail War did not break out, the connection between the Tohsaka family and Edelfelt families was limited to their shared use of Jewel Magecraft.

But some people are just born to clash.

The specific details are unknown to Shinji, but the result was that Waver sent Shinji a thick stack of bills for property damage from the Modern Magecraft Department.

That was the real reason Waver called Shinji.

By the way, Waver sent Shinji half of the total bill (the other half was sent to the Edelfelt family).

Shinji in Fuyuki City who knew about this. He secretly hid the bill and didn't tell anyone, intending to give Tohsaka Rin a big "surprise".

[Anyway, Rin will either have to pay me or work for me for the rest of her life; let her choose.]

The thought that the haughty young lady would have to humble herself before him because of money made Shinji feel as refreshed as drinking an ice-cold Sprite on a sweltering summer day.

"Oh, I'm so happy!"

Smack

Sakura chopped Shinji off with a chop to the neck.

"Brother, please don't laugh so disgustingly."

"... knew."

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Tohsaka Rin on screen has no idea how she will be treated in real life; she is in a state of complete bewilderment in the drama.

Because the person who appeared right after Lancer was Kirei Kotomine.

The viewers watching from behind their screens weren't too surprised. Having seen the movie, they already knew he was Lancer's Master, so his appearance there wasn't unexpected.

However, many viewers couldn't help but laugh when they thought that Shirou chose Eizenbern Castle as the battlefield because he wouldn't be disturbed, only to find that all the other participants in the Holy Grail War ended up there.

After that, Kirei Kotomine became an omnipotent being who answered every question, proudly telling Tohsaka Rin that he had killed her father and revealing his entire plan.

That's alright; the audience already knew what Kirei Kotomine had done.

What truly surprised the audience was what happened next.

"Commit suicide, Lancer."

After clearly refusing to harm Rin, Kirei Kotomine did not hesitate to use Command Spell to take him away.

"Pfft--Hahaha!"

Inside the Type-Moon Company, Gilgamesh and several other male Heroic Spirit slapped their thighs and laughed unrestrainedly.

"Ah, Cú Chulainn is dead."

Iskandar smacked his lips regretfully, seemingly feeling it was a real shame that the other person was leaving like this.

Although Enkidu didn't laugh out loud, his narrowed eyes were full of amusement. "How inhumane... Your exit should have been more dignified."

Compared to the subtlety of the other two, Gilgamesh directly raised Cú Chulainn's blood pressure to the maximum.

"How many times has this happened! Hey, puppy, did you see that? You're dead again!"

Gilgamesh patted Cú Chulainn on the shoulder as he spoke, "Hey, hey, hurry up and say it!"

"Gilgamesh, don't be so hasty!" Cú Chulainn retorted, slamming his fist on the table. "At least I committed suicide, while you were forced to retreat! We'll see who's more pathetic after a comparison."

These words froze Gilgamesh's smile, "That's a problem with Shinji's script, otherwise how could I possibly lose to a mere human!"

"Which of your three versions didn't end in a reckless death?" Cú Chulainn retorted, "Admit it, Hero King. You're a reckless fool, and you die from every one of your recklessness."

"I already told you, I'm only acting this way because of Shinji's script!" Gilgamesh angry he jumped up and down.

Cú Chulainn retorted defiantly, "But I died because of Master's script! What's the difference!"

"The difference is huge! Hey, you tell me about the fake one too..."

Gilgamesh turned around and found Red A squatting in the corner with a look of utter despair.

"Fake! What's wrong with you? Come and watch TV!" Gilgamesh said. "Isn't this your favorite TV series?"

Red A, who was resting with his eyes closed, chuckled coldly twice, "When did you become my favorite? I'm just acting. And don't talk to me."

"How absurd." Gilgamesh shook his head. "Never mind, let's keep watching TV. Hey you, get me a drink."

Yan Qing snorted coldly, "Go get it yourself, I want to watch TV."

"Tsk, Enkidu..."

Gilgamesh was stunned by a single look from his friend before he could finish speaking.

"Gil, what are you trying to say?"

There's nothing there.

Gilgamesh an awkward smile and turned his gaze back to the television screen.

Let's get the drinks from the Gate of Babylon.

Although it would deplete his inventory, Gilgamesh really didn't want to leave the sofa; he wanted to watch TV.

At least so far, Gilgamesh has a very good impression of the UBW TV series.

As for the later part of the story where he gets completely destroyed by Shirou, Gilgamesh never intended to watch it from the beginning.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

With Tohsaka Rin's storyline coming to an end, the scene finally returns to the battle between the two Shirou Emiya.

To increase the suspense of the battle's outcome, Shinji inserted flashback scenes of the two characters before the fight officially began, allowing the audience to gain a deeper understanding of them and guess who would win.

Red A recalls his past as a Guardian of the Counter Force, how he made a contract with the Counter Force, how he died, and how he became a Cleaner after his death.

On the other hand, Shirou Emiya is much simpler; he only has one memory—the night he said goodbye to Kiritsugu.

This is both Kiritsugu Emiya's end and Shirou Emiya's starting point.

In fact, Shinji had already hinted that Shirou would win this battle, because he had mentioned in the final Kiritsugu of the previously released official Fate/Zero novel that as long as Shirou Emiya didn't forget this night, Shirou wouldn't lose his way.

Heroic Spirit did not recall this past; he Emiya long since lost himself on the path of heroism.

But Shirou Emiya didn't, so he was able to win.

The battle has begun.

The same swords, the same moves, clashed against each other.

This battle can be described as a mirror image battle, Shirou and Red A used the exact same techniques.

Unfortunately, as a novice, Shirou Emiya was clearly not that skilled, and the strength of the Projection Noble Phantasm was far inferior to that of Red A.

Archer (Red A) used this advantage to repeatedly destroy Shirou's Noble Phantasm, thereby injuring his opponent.

After only a few rounds of fighting, Shirou was already covered in wounds.

They used the same swords and the same swordsmanship, yet there was an insurmountable barrier between them.

"Do you really think your henchmen are the same as mine? Your understanding of the basic structure is far too naive."

Archer unleashes his sharp tongue when confronting his past self.

"No matter how close the appearance is to your imagination, or how similar the materials are, if the structure lacks 'reason,' it will naturally collapse. Even if it's just an imagination, if it's illogical, it will inevitably crumble!"

After saying that, he struck Shirou again.

"This guy is basically an NPC training the protagonist." Hearing this, Aoko couldn't help but retort, "Is Archer some kind of free coach, giving Shirou Emiya practice moves?"

Aoko's guess was not entirely wrong.

The simultaneous existence of Shirou Emiya and the Heroic Spirit Emiya as the same individual would create intense [conflict].

Every time they touch each other's bodies, it has an effect on each other.

For Archer, this effect only made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

Besides feeling unwell, Shirou Emiya gained even more.

He imitated swordsmanship from himself, and even learned his own copying techniques, gradually becoming proficient at them.

The fact that the Projected Noble Phantasm are getting faster and faster is the best proof of that!

This is only natural, because the Heroic Spirit Emiya's techniques are the [most suitable fighting method for Shirou Emiya], which took a long time to develop.

The gap between the two is narrowing at a visible rate; Shirou Emiya is approaching his other self at the speed of a 100-meter sprint!

"You have absolutely no chance of winning!"

Archer, fully engaged in the moment, declared to Shirou Emiya, raising his twin swords high, ready to decide the outcome with this single strike.

Shirou Emiya once again crossed his twin swords into a cross and raised them upwards.

The same black and white twin swords clashed for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

Bang!

"What?"

Archer stared in astonishment at the scene before him.

Unlike the previous times Shirou Emiya's twin swords did not shatter; instead, they blocked his attack.

This is the first time since we started playing against each other!

Chapter 121 The Poor Television Destroyed by the Hands of Heroic Spirit

Despite struggling to even stand, despite being covered in wounds, and despite his mind being so confused that he could barely think, Shirou Emiya finally did not lose to himself this time.

"Hoo-ha... ha... ha... hoo..."

Shirou Emiya gasped for breath, desperately trying to suppress the intense urge to vomit.

Was there a calculation error?

Archer finally noticed Shirou's change, but his contemptuous attitude remained unchanged.

"I've heard that some Magecraft can use spirit possession to enter the body of their past selves and learn their past techniques and Magecraft. It seems your skills have been honed during your fight with me."

Exhausted, Shirou was too weak to answer; simply blocking Archer's attack had already drained all his energy.

Archer realized his opponent wouldn't answer, and he let out a disdainful snort.
