Lord Camelot rose up, the power of faith's protection colliding with the brute force of the violent impact. Lord Camelot immediately began to tremble, as though it might collapse at any moment.
Yet this Noble Phantasm represented will, faith, and the heart. So long as Mash did not waver, Lord Camelot would not fall.
And now, Mash's conviction was incomparably firm, because she had to protect the people she wished to protect.
Even though she was still immature, even with an unshakable will, and even with the power of a Command Spell added to it, she could not bring her defensive Noble Phantasm to its fullest potential. Still, it was enough to handle the current situation.

Without question, Mash's unwavering will and indomitable resolve were major factors in blocking that attack. But even more important was Fujimaru Tachibana's decisive and wise command in the heat of battle.

It could be said that Fujimaru Tachibana's timing had been absurdly precise—truly flawless in every sense of the word.
After all, during that exchange, Fujimaru Tachibana had activated the Command Spell almost simultaneously with
