Joan of Arc screamed in pain, took a few steps back in panic, then covered her forehead with her hands, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
At this time, you can clearly see that there is a slightly reddish mark in the middle of Joan of Arc's forehead.
"This is the punishment—"
Shirou Emiya looked at Jeanne who was retreating and smiled slightly.
If a normal person were to use it, even if they used the greatest force, it would only be a tickling collision for the Servant.
But Shirou Emiya, even without the Akuma-Haunted Armor, is now able to fight a Servant head-on.
Since it was a punishment, Emiya Shirou remembered that Jeanne was a servant, so he did not hold back and just pushed forward with all his strength.
The powerful force caused Joan of Arc's head to tilt back, and her forehead turned red instantly.
Then, before Jeanne could say anything, Emiya Shirou extended his hand towards her.
"Become the spear in my hand and fight alongside me once again!"
Chapter 685: An Unforgettable Man
The student union room is different from other classrooms. The floor is covered with gorgeous carpets, just like a formal meeting room.
The surroundings, like the entire building, exude a sense of simplicity, elegance, yet a bit shabby.
This is the temperament of the entire teaching building, not just the Student Union. It just looks more elegant under the red carpet.
In such an elegant student union, a young man in a black school uniform was sitting at the innermost seat of the conference table.
Behind him stood a young man in a coat on one side and a young man in white armor on the other.
Sitting next to him was a chestnut-haired girl, and behind her stood a white-haired man who looked very fashionable in a jacket and jeans.
There is no need for too much introduction, Shirou Emiya knows everyone here.
The young man sitting at the most prominent position at the conference table is Leo.
The two people behind him, the one wearing the coat is Julius, and the one wearing pure white armor is Gawain.
The chestnut-haired girl is Hakuno Kishinami. As for the man behind her who looks extremely fashionable, Shirou Emiya said he didn't want to meet him.
"Well, are you here?"
Looking at Shirou Emiya and Jeanne who came in, Leo even looked over with a smile on his face.
Then it was as if he was holding back some energy.
"Three, two, one, ready—"
"Good morning--!"
It seemed as if he was exerting all his strength as he shouted towards Shirou Emiya in front of him.
And Kishinami Hakuno, who was sitting at the side of the conference table, seemed to want to shout out as well, but his ears were quickly covered by the white-haired man standing behind him.
Hearing such a spiritual shout, Shirou Emiya was stunned. He had no idea what Leo was doing.
It wasn’t that I was frightened by Leo’s roar————
Well, actually I was just scared, especially when the usually calm Leo greeted me by roaring like that.
This was something that Shirou Emiya could never imagine.
"Ah, really. You two please do as you are told. And you, Kishinami-san's Servant, since she wants to say hello, let her say hello loudly."
"I've said it several times before, breakfast greetings need to be lively and energetic, like that of a stupid student who is suspected of having a mental problem."
Hearing Leo's irrelevant words, Julius and Gawain, who were standing behind him, looked at each other, their eyes expressing their helplessness.
"Once again, get ready——"
"stop--!"
Emiya Shirou did not continue to stand there in a daze, but took a step forward, interrupting their somewhat awkward behavior, although their current situation was indeed worrying.
But Shirou Emiya did not forget the purpose of coming here.
"Didn't you just say it was an urgent matter?"
"It seems that Emiya-kun is still as focused on efficiency as before."
"But don't worry, this is just a joke, used to ease the extremely tense atmosphere right now."
Hearing this, Emiya Shirou unconsciously glanced at Kishinami Hakuno who was standing beside him.
She just smiled with great distress, as she had experienced these things before.
"Just as I guessed, Emiya-kun, you are familiar with me and know that I am not so frivolous, but a mature and stable person. I am also very familiar with you and know that you are a person who is determined to save everything no matter what."
It seemed that what Leo said just now was just a joke to ease the atmosphere. Now his expression and tone have returned to the mode when Shirou Emiya first saw him.
“Ah! What a pity! If Emiya-kun had forgotten, I would have had the opportunity to change my image!”
But it was only serious for a second, and Leo, like the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic, stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head, looking embarrassed, and spoke to Shirou Emiya in a somewhat passionate tone.
"————————"
Shirou Emiya didn't want to respond to Leo's words.
"Well, don't be so serious. Sit down first, because I'm still waiting for someone--!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in—!”
"excuse me!"
The door of the student union was quickly pushed open, and Sakura Matou trotted in a panic and stood beside Shirou Emiya.
She calmed her breathing slightly and looked at the document in her hand.
"The full scan of the school has been completed. There are no undiscovered Masters in the school building now—"
"Although given the current situation, they should be somewhere, but since we can't find them, let's just give up."
Leo's transformation was extremely fast, as if it was his nature, except that the ideal King Saint had always been on his back. He could seamlessly switch back and forth between this detached state and this reassuring state.
However, his leadership and judgment abilities are still outstanding.
Joking with Emiya Shirou in the student room was not a waste of time, but rather he was waiting for the results of Matou Sakura's report.
"Emiya-kun, I asked you to come here for no other reason than this old school building. No, can I ask you to join us in the operation to escape from the far side of the moon?"
"it is good--!"
"You probably still have a lot of questions, right?"
The unexpected answer made Leo, who was about to start explaining, stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.
Indeed, if it was Emiya-kun, no, only Emiya-kun would agree without hesitation like this.
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but smile.
"Now here is my question, Emiya-kun, you should still have some memories of the Holy Grail War."
"Why, why are you so sure, Leo-kun?"
The pupils of Sakura Matou, who was standing aside, suddenly dilated and her eyes were full of confusion.
After all, there was no doubt in Leo's tone, and he spoke directly to Shirou Emiya in an affirmative tone.
"Because in my last vague memory, I was watching an extremely important battle in the multimedia classroom when I was attacked by the black slime."
"After waking up, I appeared here—"
"Although I don't remember it clearly, I can feel that one of the people involved in that battle was Emiya-kun."
After all, Shirou Emiya made Leo, who had never known the meaning of failure, realize what failure is.
It made him, who had never understood the essence of life, realize that the essence of life is the tenacious vitality in the face of adversity.
For Leo, Shirou Emiya is now a man he will never forget.
Chapter 686: The Greatest Strength That Can Be Exerted Now
The discussion within the student council ended quickly. The main purpose of this detailed discussion was to make Shirou Emiya understand the current situation.
And try every possible means to get more Masters in this academy to join the student union.
It's not quite correct to say that we joined the student union. It should be said that we worked together to find a way to leave this place from the far side of the moon.
I'm just saying, this is just Leo's little idea.
I don't know why, even under such a difficult situation, Leo really wants to manage the Student Union well and make it a real student union. He seems to care very much about this matter.
Sakura had already made sure that all the Masters that could be found had been found, but that didn't mean that the Student Council, a small group of Masters, were the only ones left in the entire campus.
It’s just that most of the Masters are pessimistic about this and are unwilling to join their plan to escape from the far side of the moon.
But now——
"How is the Master's current physical condition?"
In the health room, Jeanne sat on a chair nearby, watching Sakura Matou operating various instruments to test Shirou Emiya's body.
After leaving the classroom, Jeanne has been calling Emiya "Master", even though Emiya Shirou said that he can still call him Emiya-kun.
"It's terrible. I should say it's very terrible. I never calculated how someone with such a bad body could fight."
Sweat was beading on Sakura Matou's forehead. She was analyzing Shirou Emiya on the interface in front of her while talking to Jeanne.
This is not just a simple check, but through the calculation ability mastered by Matou Sakura, it is calculated whether Emiya Shirou can continue to fight at this time.
This was something that everyone present was extremely worried about.
Even now, Shirou Emiya looks like an extremely ordinary high school student.
Yes, in the eyes of those people now, Shirou Emiya no longer has white hair, and there are no cracks on his face that are so scary.
He was just like he was before he first stepped through the door—a boy with short brown hair, brown pupils, and a stubborn and straightforward look.
Shirou Emiya didn't know why his appearance had returned to its former state, but the pain he felt in his body and the tearing sensation in his soul all indicated that his injuries had not recovered as well as his appearance.
"According to calculations, Senior can no longer continue to fight like before. He is like a piece of ceramic that could break at any time. Once it is hit by too much force, it will break without any room for reversal."
Listening to Sakura Matou's words, Jeanne frowned tightly, and secretly made up her mind not to let Shirou Emiya suffer any harm. She had to repay the debt that had delayed Shirou Emiya's steps.
"So can we continue to fight?"
However, Emiya Shirou didn't seem to care about the severity of his injuries at all. Instead, he asked Matou Sakura whether he could still continue fighting.
"Senior——!" Sakura Matou was stunned at first, then muttered to herself, not knowing how to answer Shirou Emiya.
"Master, leave the rest of the battle to me!"
Jeanne immediately walked forward and stood in front of Emiya Shirou, her eyes full of worry.
"No, I just want to do what I can."
"But, Master, you've done enough. Leave the rest to me."
Jeanne immediately shook her head and refused. If Emiya Shirou really lost his life because of this, she would never forgive herself.
But it was obvious that her refusal would have no effect.
Because to some extent, Shirou Emiya is also a very stubborn person. Although he is willing to listen to other people's opinions on many things, it is almost difficult to pull him back from this path on some things.
Even if Emiya Shirou agreed to this, he would probably not be able to help but stand in front of Jeanne when he saw her in danger.
"Wait, Senior, it's not like you can't do anything."
Sakura Matou looked at the test data on the side and spoke to them.
"According to the calculations, if it's just some basic combat or support, Senior can still do it."
To explain Shirou Emiya's current situation in simple and easy-to-understand words, he is unable to perform the Infinite Sword Works, nor can he release the two strongest holy sword projections that he currently possesses, [The Golden Sword of Inevitable Victory] and [The Golden Sword of Eternal Distance].
Even if you release a Noble Phantasm normally, you cannot release it continuously, and you cannot release it multiple times in one day.
Emiya Shirou could not continue to wear a treasure like [Devil's Haunting], which had an extremely strong pressure on the body.
But now Shirou Emiya can still provide long-range support and close combat, there are not too many problems with projection, and Fantasy Honkai Impact 3 can continue to be used.
"Hmm! It looks like the inspection went well."
