"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Brother and sister, just openly kissing in public like that."
"You're really bold, Kurogane!"
Looking at the scene in his student handbook, Shirou, sitting on the sofa, teased Ikki Kurogane, who was sprawled on his bed. It was now the evening after that incident.
After Shizuku Kurogane and Ikki Kurogane had their second round, and were about to go for a third, Ikki Kurogane finally came to his senses and stopped her. Then, he fled back to his dormitory.
"To be forced to run away by your younger sister. You're really disgraceful, Kurogane!"
"Stop teasing me, Emiya!"
Finally unable to bear Shirou's teasing, Ikki Kurogane leaped directly off the bed and roared loudly. But the next moment, all strength was drained from him, and he immediately knelt to the ground.
"You even recorded it?"
Looking at the student handbook in Shirou's hand, which was playing the video, Ikki Kurogane now deeply regretted his morning self. Why was his resistance so weak back then? He was actually mesmerized by Shizuku's beauty. As a result, his dark history was forever preserved in his roommate's hands. Ikki Kurogane felt as if he could already see his miserable future life.
Although they had only been together for a short time, Ikki Kurogane had already realized that beneath this man's serious exterior lay a cunning heart.
"Delete it!" Without hesitation, Ikki Kurogane swiftly lunged at the student handbook in Shirou's hand. But who was Shirou? Before Ikki Kurogane could lunge, he had already sensed the other's intention. He simply twisted the hand holding the student handbook, dodging Ikki Kurogane's pounce.
"He actually dodged it." Although Ikki Kurogane was only a Class F Knight, his physical combat skills had always been his most confident area. Although he hadn't used his full strength just now, he was actually dodged so effortlessly by Shirou. It was only then that Ikki Kurogane realized that this man in front of him was an expert.
"If you want to delete this video, you'll have to defeat me." After dodging Ikki Kurogane's attack, Shirou said to him with a smile. The current Ikki Kurogane naturally couldn't perceive Shirou's depth. After all, after Kuraono Shinguji and Nene Saikyo detected his killing intent earlier, Shirou painfully reflected and began to study the experience of Presence Concealment he had read from Assassin's weapons. Although he hadn't fully mastered this skill yet, it was enough to conceal his aura.
"A fight? To be honest, I'm quite interested in your strength now too, Emiya-kun."
"But a simulated battle requires a real training ground, right?"
"But now, it's already dark!" Looking at the dark sky outside, Ikki Kurogane's face was filled with regret.
"It's fine, we're just practicing casually. Does the school not even allow training?" Hearing Shirou's suggestion, Ikki Kurogane was silent for a moment. If this were before, he would definitely not agree, as the former chairperson had tried every possible way to expel him from school. But the current chairperson was Kuraono Shinguji.
Furthermore, Ikki Kurogane was now very interested in his roommate's strength.
"Then let's go!" Looking at Shirou, who had invited him, Ikki Kurogane replied seriously.
________________________________________
On the path that cut through the dark grove, Ikki Kurogane and Shirou advanced one after the other.
"Let's do it here!" Looking at the streetlights above, Ikki Kurogane determined the location for their match. This was where Ikki Kurogane often trained, and because it was secluded, there were few pedestrians here. Not to mention it was still night. This place was very suitable for their match.
"Since it's a match, let's use our Fantasy Forms. After all, it's the middle of the night. If we get injured, there's nowhere for us to get treated!"
"That's true, since neither of us has healing methods."
Speaking of healing methods, Shirou suddenly remembered Shizuku Kurogane, Ikki Kurogane's sister, and her Device, Byakko. As a natural interference-type Device, Byakko could freely manipulate water flow. With superb magic power control, water-type Blazers could become healers. After all, for humans, whose bodies are mostly water, the ability to interfere with water naturally allows interference with the human body. For Shirou, who hadn't encountered healing abilities until now, he absolutely had to acquire this ability.
Indeed, he needed to practice magic control well!
"Then let's begin here!"
"Manifest, Intetsu!" With a glow of magic power, a genuine katana appeared in Ikki Kurogane's hand.
"This is my Device, Intetsu. Although it's not very flashy, it's my most important partner!" Hearing Ikki Kurogane's self-introduction, Shirou replied seriously.
"It's not ordinary at all!" The moment Ikki Kurogane summoned Intetsu, Shirou had already analyzed it. At this moment, this Device, Intetsu, held no secrets from Shirou. And while reading Intetsu, Shirou naturally also read the experiences attached to it. From this sword, which was already inserted into Unlimited Blade Works, Shirou vaguely saw the life of this man named Ikki Kurogane.
"Is it because Devices are formed from the Blazer's soul? It seems I'm reading a bit more this time!" Extending his palm, Shirou lightly shouted, "Manifest, divine power, Muramasa!" Shirou didn't fully shout the name of the Device; after all, that name was far too familiar to Japanese people. It's important to remember that Devices are the manifestation of a Blazer's soul. If that name were exposed, people here might consider him a reincarnated god.
Looking at the ornate golden longsword that appeared in Shirou's hand, Ikki Kurogane couldn't help but be a little dazed. Why was the sword in this person's hand clearly an ornate Western sword, yet it was called Muramasa, a genuine Japanese name? The true Muramasa should be a katana! This whole situation seemed very strange! Could it be that Emiya-kun was mixed-race, to the extent that even his Device was mixed-race? Otherwise, why would there be such a strange sword!
"Kurogane-kun, I heard you can freely learn other people's sword techniques, is that right?" Hearing Shirou's question, Ikki Kurogane generously admitted, "That's right. Because I'm disliked, no one was willing to teach me martial arts. So, I trained this skill of stealing techniques to this level."
"Is that so? It seems we have some similarities. No wonder we became roommates."
"Similarities?" Hearing Shirou's words, Ikki Kurogane couldn't help but murmur. And his gaze towards Shirou was filled with complexity.
"That's right. Do you know? My anomaly is Projection, I can temporarily project some things into existence."
"For example, tables, chairs, televisions, and such."
Hearing Shirou's narration, Ikki Kurogane's pupils constricted. He seemed to have thought of a certain possibility. And the next moment, Shirou declared the existence of that possibility.
"And for example, Devices!" Then, Shirou's other empty hand surged with magic power. The next moment, a sword identical to the weapon in Ikki Kurogane's hand appeared in Shirou's hand.
"It's Intetsu!" Looking at the Intetsu in Shirou's hand, Ikki Kurogane was greatly shaken.
"Furthermore, I can even project the experiences of the weapon's original owner!" Holding both swords, Shirou looked at Ikki Kurogane and said with a smile, "Kurogane, I've received your thoroughly honed experience!"
