Yet this bizarre formation immediately hindered Gudako's serves. Her originally powerful serves had their speed reduced by a full two-thirds under the effects of the Stone Soldier Volleyball Formation. At that speed, even with Shirou assisting her with Projection Magic, they seemed destined to be beaten back step by step by the formation.
The score gap suddenly reached nine points!
"Referee, may I ask something? Do Pseudo Noble Phantasms not count as Noble Phantasms?" Rin wiped the sweat from her cheek. This serve was hers.
"Of course—they don't count," Kirei Kotomine answered openly.
Since they did not count, no one could blame them for using some clever tricks.
"Caster, please use Reinforcement Magic on me. It's time I taught those Red Faction bullies a proper lesson for relying on brute strength."

That was right. Shirou stood behind her!
"I am the bone of my sword—volleyball. Steel is my body, and glass is my heart. This body is made of infinite volleyballs! True Unlimited Volleyball Works!"

Shirou extended his right hand, and countless volleyballs obeyed his command, flying into the sky and smashing down upon the opposing court.
Seizing the opportunity, Rin quickly served the volleyball in her hand. With both Reinforcement Magic and her devilish muscles empowering her, the volleyball broke the sound barrier!
The score rapidly
