"Your opponent for the second battle was decided so quickly?"
Of course, Toosaka Rin could deduced why Emiya Shirou went to look up the information. It was because he knew the information about the enemy Servant, and she told this to Emiya Shirou.
If he hadn't said that, Shirou Emiya probably wouldn't have known that the school library could do such a thing.
"You haven't yet?"
"No message received yet."
Toosaka Rin shook her head. Not all magicians fight at the same time. Each magician has a different rest time.
"What is the true name of your opponent's servant?"
As if she felt that her question was wrong, Toosaka Rin quickly added another sentence before Emiya Shirou answered.
"Don't get me wrong. I just think you might be eliminated in the second round. That person might be my opponent. I just want to gather some information."
As for Shirou Emiya, he had absolutely no problem with it. Rather than working alone, what he wanted to do was to share the information with others.
"Vlad III."
"That Dracula?"
"It's better not to call him Dracula."
"why?"
“Because I hate this reputation.”
"Okay, I understand—"
Toosaka Rin readily agreed to Emiya Shirou's request.
Although they are enemies, if she thinks carefully, her life has been overshadowed by a novelist who came from nowhere, leaving her with a reputation that has almost nothing to do with her and is even negative. She will also feel disgusted and resist this title.
"But you seem to be very familiar with your opponent's Servant?"
Toosaka Rin originally wanted to help Emiya Shirou analyze the situation, but she didn't expect that on the third day, Emiya Shirou had already learned the real name of the opponent's Servant, and he seemed confident, so he must have some countermeasures.
However, Toosaka Rin still couldn't think of any countermeasures that Shirou Emiya had, nor could she figure out how Shirou Emiya defeated Matou Shinji's Servant.
You have to know that she was the woman who defeated the Spanish Armada. She was very powerful.
At least according to Shinji Matou's description, it's not that easy to defeat him.
But when asked about how Emiya Shirou defeated Drake, Matou Shinji suddenly shut his mouth and refused to say another word, as if he wanted to hide something.
Toosaka Rin couldn't attack Matou Shinji, and even private fights between magicians were forbidden in the academy.
She could only grit her teeth in hatred and wonder how Shirou Emiya had won the battle.
Then the second battle shocked her even more. If she had to say, Emiya Shirou had already figured out his opponent's strength in just one battle.
"Um, I know more about the history of Vlad III——"
This was the only way Emiya Shirou could answer Toosaka Rin.
He does know more about the history of Vlad III than most people, but that's all, because when he was on the black side, Shirou Emiya did not have much contact with Vlad III.
It’s just that Shirou Emiya has done some research on the servants who participated in the Holy Grail War.
Compared to the commander of the black side, Shirou Emiya is more familiar with Chiron, who taught him archery skills.
During the Holy Grail War, apart from Arthur, the only two people he spent the longest time with were Joan of Arc and Chiron.
Chapter 574 Current Situation (Edited)
Although they had experienced a battle, there were still many magicians communicating in the corridor of the school building where Emiya Shirou was.
There is only one final winner of this Holy Grail War, but no one can guarantee that they will survive to the end, and many times they are not even sure whether they can survive this battle.
A considerable number of magicians would choose to join forces with others, exchanging information with each other even if the two were not opponents.
If they are in the same arena, there may even be a situation where two servants are fighting against one servant.
This is a Holy Grail War where lives are at stake, not a video game. Everyone who participates in the Holy Grail War has his or her own wishes, and no one is willing to sacrifice their own life.
Everyone wants to not only obtain the Holy Grail that can grant wishes, but also survive such a cruel war.
As for why it feels like the number of people in this school has not decreased, and has even increased.
That's because there is more than just one school building in this Holy Grail War.
During the First Holy Grail War, Mooncell will operate seven school buildings simultaneously.
The 128 contestants are evenly distributed among seven school buildings, with an average of only about 17 contestants in each school building.
During the second war, the seven school buildings began to merge, leaving only two.
The 64 contestants were evenly distributed, so there were 32 people in each school building. That was why it felt like there were more magicians in the school building than in the Ichikai Sen.
Under the clear sunlight, the students and magicians began to become active.
Some magicians decided to continue entering the arena to train themselves and their servants to work together, to find the key to participate in the finals, or to design methods to defeat their opponents in the arena.
Some magicians spend their time in the library, looking for information about their opponent's servants and finding their weaknesses.
Some magicians discussed with magicians who were not their opponents, discussing how to cooperate and win the fight.
There are also magicians who are running around the campus to complete the tasks assigned to them by NPCs.
If you want to survive in this academy, money is essential. Not everyone has lunch boxes provided by Sakura Matou in the health room for their three meals a day.
Most of the potions they got from Sakura were the simplest ones that could restore the body, and their effects were almost the same as the simplest recovery magic.
Therefore, if they want to survive in this world, they also need to get money from NPCs and go to the school cafeteria to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Not everyone can use their hacking skills like Shinji Matou to place treasures directly in the arena, and many people do not realize that many things in the arena can be taken out and handed over to the store in exchange for money.
As for why Shinji Matou didn't directly change the amount of money he had, it was naturally because he had no way of doing that, otherwise he would naturally choose to change his money to infinity.
After all, the power of Drake's Noble Phantasm is also linked to money. If Shinji Matou could do this, he would have done it long ago.
As for Shirou Emiya, he had already completed all the tasks given by the NPCs in the academy.
He was even criticized by Toosaka Rin.
It can be said that Shirou Emiya really is like a student here and has completely integrated into the community. If she didn't know that Shirou Emiya was a Master, when she saw him cleaning, she would probably have thought he was an NPC.
Especially since Shirou Emiya has no servants around him, and basically no one knows that he is a magician. When you think about it this way, Shirou Emiya is more like an NPC.
These are things that Shirou Emiya is very good at, and he did them often when he was in junior high school.
If it weren't for the appearance of the door, Emiya Shirou felt that he would be doing these things at Hokunbaru Academy High School.
It is even said that Yanagido Kazunari would stockpile two months' worth of electrical appliances every time, waiting for Emiya Shirou to come and repair them.
After all, it could save the student union a huge amount of expenses, so Ryudo Kazunari naturally chose to ask Emiya Shirou to repair these electrical appliances.
Of course, Ryudo Kazunari will also provide Emiya Shirou with class notes unconditionally.
On days when Emiya Shirou was not at school, Yanagido Kazunari took notes in two books during every class.
Although he could ask Sakura to do this kind of thing, Emiya Shirou felt that he had already troubled Sakura so much and didn't want to cause more trouble for her.
For Ryudo Kazunari, it was a mutually beneficial thing, just like how Emiya Shirou thought that repairing electrical appliances was just a side job.
Ryudo Kazunari also thought that helping Emiya Shirou take notes was just a side job.
Most of the tasks proposed by these NPCs are trivial matters such as tidying up warehouses, repairing electrical appliances, cleaning, etc.
Only a small part is the exploration of the arena. For example, Sister Biru Teng always loses things in the arena, and after returning them to Sister Teng, she gets some decorations in the room.
However, you can also sell it directly to the store in exchange for money.
As for the shops in the school, in addition to the similar things you would buy in a normal school, such as bread and bento, they also sell some magic gifts with certain effects.
Of course, except for some people whose magic skills were not very high and who basically did not construct their own computer spells to participate in this Holy Grail War, others did not care about it.
The magic costumes in the store only play a partial auxiliary role, and in many cases they are completely useless.
For example, Shinji Matou, who is only eight years old, has a computer technique called "shock" that can reduce the enemy's ability.
During the battle with Drake, Shirou Emiya felt that the sluggishness of his movements and the weakness of his strength were caused by Shinji Matou's computer technique.
And those void blocks that suddenly appeared to block Emiya Shirou's attack were the interference made by Shinji Matou through his genius hacking skills to invade the computer.
It can be said that being a hacker to this level is a talent that ordinary people can only look up to.
Basically, except for servants like Drake who need money to enhance the power of their Noble Phantasms, other magicians can only do enough to make a living.
They came here to participate in the Holy Grail War, not to experience campus life. Every day they think about how they can win the Holy Grail War. How to survive such a cruel Holy Grail War is a question that many magicians have been thinking about.
Seven days of thinking time is given for each battle, and there are even several days of rest after the seven days. But for many magicians, it is a torment, a torment of watching their lives slip away.
Chapter 575: Disappearance of Shirou Emiya
Under the reddish sunlight, a man with curly orange short hair and a white smiling clown mask, like a crippled rag doll, was walking in the corridor in a very funny way, staggering from side to side.
He seemed to be muttering something.
"very hungry!"
"very hungry!"
"Where's the food? Where's the food?"
With eyes as sticky as a poisonous snake and an extremely thin body, the woman named Lan Lujun twisted her limbs and looked around, looking for someone.
Everyone around looked at Lan Lujun who was walking with extremely panicked eyes.
Even the NPCs couldn't help but reveal fear in their eyes.
Although this academy was theoretically not very old, during the preliminaries, some things similar to urban legends, called campus legends, were circulating in the academy.
Bi Ru【After School Murderer】
Bi Ru [Electronic ghost wandering in the corridor]
Biru [A cannibal that eats the bodies of defeated masters]
And Lanlu-kun is the real person of the campus legend, the "cannibal who eats the corpses of defeated masters."
Just by looking at the weird clown costume and the hunger muttered without disguising its presence, it is easy to infer what kind of legend it represents.
At this moment, a woman with twin ponytails, wearing a red dress, a black miniskirt, and black over-the-knee high-heeled leather boots stood in front of the clown.
She is Toosaka Rin, who has not seen Emiya Shirou in these three days.
"Are you Emiya's match?"
Toosaka Rin stood in front of Lanlu-kun. Although it was a question, there was no doubt in her tone.
"I'm so hungry. Food, where is the food?"
However, Lanlujun completely ignored Toosaka Rin who was standing in front of him, and continued to mutter as he walked forward.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!?"
Seeing that Lanlu-kun ignored her, Toosaka Rin immediately reached out to stop him.
However, a dark figure suddenly appeared in front of her and stretched out his arm to grab Toosaka Rin, blocking Lanlu-kun's way.
At this moment, a deep blue figure also emerged from the air and grabbed the outstretched hand fiercely.
Under the strong force of both, you can see the blue veins on the back of the hand bulging.
"Hey, it's not a good idea to treat a beautiful lady like this!"
A slightly frivolous voice came from the azure figure that appeared.
"Humph! She was the one who was impolite first!"
Vlad looked at Toosaka Rin, who was still a little frightened, with disdain.
Then quickly release your hand.
The two had no intention of fighting here, they just used a little force when shaking hands.
After all, everyone knows how severe the punishment is for private fights in the academy, and unless it is necessary, basically anything that needs to be resolved will be done in the arena.
Lanlu-kun is still looking for the whereabouts of his food. As a servant, Vlad III obeys Lanlu-kun's instructions in all his actions. It won't be long before he will have a head-on confrontation with Shirou Emiya. He also knows that he can't create any trouble at this point.
And it is impossible for Toosaka Rin to choose to bear such a high price to attack an enemy with whom she is not even a match.
