Chapter 1613: Arrival
Fuyuki City, Homurahara Academy.
The sky gradually darkened, and the beautiful campus became increasingly deserted and was no longer as lively as it had been during the day.
A guy with brown hair was holding a bucket of water.
The highly polished floor beneath his feet reflected the moonlight.
— It's done, " he murmured.
His sleeves were rolled up and he looked tired.
After looking at the results of his many hours of work, he nodded. Although he shouldn't have cleaned up the campus to this extent, now that the job was done, he felt satisfied.
Straightening up, he looked out the window at the moonlit courtyard. It was already quite late, so it was time for him to go back and finish this normal but busy day.
Just as he was about to change his clothes and leave the campus, a sharp sound of metal colliding reached his ears.
The guy was stunned.
Earlier, while he was cleaning up the campus, he hadn't heard anything, and by this point, no one should have been here.
An ordinary person at this time of day would definitely have already left the campus and quietly sat at home drinking tea.
As for this kid, he wasn't exactly an ordinary person. This boy was known as Emiya Shiro, the main character of the fifth Holy Grail War and a kind-hearted altruist who wanted to help everyone.
Emiya Shirou headed towards the playground, directly towards the source of the strange sounds.
At the exit of the campus, he saw two figures fighting.
Sparks flew everywhere, and dust rose into the air with each impact..
Seeing the two figures, Emiya was stunned.
— What do they do? he muttered and felt that something was wrong. The two of them were dressed very differently from ordinary people. One of them was wearing a long jacket and holding a sword, while the other was wearing blue armor and holding a blood-red spear in his hand.
— Who are you? A man holding a blood-red spear shouted.
At that moment, Emiya realized that he needed to get out of here as quickly as possible, as these two were clearly abnormal.
But as soon as he ran out into the corridor, he suddenly felt a chill in his chest, after which his body was filled with pain, and this pain came from his chest.
A man with a spear in his hand appeared in front of Emiya out of nowhere.
Since he was a Heroic Soul, covertly attacking an ordinary person was obviously not a very nice thing to do, so this man said a few meaningless words like "Blame it on your weakness" and "Perhaps this is your fate" before leaving Emiya with a hole in his chest to die in this empty corridor.
Blood began to spread under Emiya.
He felt like he was about to die.
His body gradually grew cold, and his pierced heart was about to stop beating.
— Young man, are you ready to wait for your death like a beaten dog? If you cast a Command Spell, you won't die.
There was a glint in Emiya's eyes when he heard these words, but at the same time, it suddenly seemed as if the gaze of some creature that was looking at him through space fell on his body. A pair of eyes that glittered with blue light, a sharp and cold blue light, stared back at him, and the owner of those eyes seemed ready to chop off his head at any moment.
— I refuse, " Emiya replied, summoning the last of his strength to do so. He felt that he shouldn't have allowed the owner of those eyes to appear in this world.
— Wrong answer.
*Bang!*
Emiya's entire body suddenly started howling in pain.
----
In a different space.
Blue smoke floated around Su Xiao's hand.
The situation was more interesting than he had imagined. Since Emiya Shirou was still alive, it meant that this world really ignored all the things that he had achieved through the previous passage.
So Emiya Kiritsugu was still alive, and this world most likely followed the Blood Gate development line.
— Please spare me. Why exactly are you here today... " An indistinct voice suddenly reached Emiya's ears. With a hazy mind, he turned his head to the side. An indistinct figure appeared in front of him, and this figure was so solid and safe...
After an unknown amount of time, Emiya's body suddenly twitched.
He was still lying in the school hallway, the moonlight streaming in through the windows.
Embarrassed, Emiya sat down.
The blood beneath him disappeared as if it had never been there.
Subconsciously, he raised his hand and pressed it to his chest.
Immediately, he felt something sticky and wet.
There were bloodstains on his clothes.
Thinking that he was in the afterlife, Emiya looked around, but realized that he was in a normal school corridor.
— What happened... " he muttered, completely baffled.
He staggered to his feet and ran out of the school.
Although he had no idea what exactly had happened, he realized that it wasn't safe to stay here any longer.
A young man with a bloody chest was running down the street...
The street was empty, and the young man looked like he was about to faint from the strangeness of what was happening.
----
Ten minutes later.
*Pum*
Emiya went home and fell on the sofa.
Gasping for air, he turned and looked up at the ceiling.
— What was that? It's not normal, I was almost killed, no, I was killed, but then who brought me back to life? And what was that voice? A Command Spell? Sitting up with great difficulty, he considered.
There was only confusion in his eyes.
*Ding~*
Hearing the strange sound, Emiya instinctively raised his head.
The man with the bloody spear that had killed him earlier reappeared right above him.
The sharp tip of his spear made Emiya feel a dull pain in the area of his forehead.
The next moment, the spear whizzed into the floor.
Emiya was able to turn a somersault to the side, so he dodged the blow.
This Heroic Soul obviously didn't attack him seriously, or else he would have become meat on a spit long ago.
Hitting his head against the wall, Emiya immediately tried to get to his feet.
— Not dead. You'll have to kill one person twice in one night. The world has always been so cruel and bloody?
Hearing this, Emiya instinctively wanted to retort, " But you were the one who created all this, what did I do to you since you came to my house for me?»
Unfortunately, the man with the spear in his hand wasn't going to give him the opportunity to refute it.
He immediately rushed over to the guy.
With a crash, Emiya flew out of the house and into the courtyard.
Yes, apparently every next generation was really worse than the previous one. Emiya's adoptive father, Emiya Kiritsugu, was a ruthless man who could use any weapon to fight a Heroic Soul, but when it came to his adopted son, Emiya Shirou, the boy couldn't even verbally respond to his opponent.
— I've wasted so much time. It's time to get rid of you. Don't worry, I'll cut off your head this time and make sure you don't get reborn, " the man said and leaned in.
*Boom!*
A strange noise suddenly rang out behind Emiya.
The spearman immediately took a step back, and his pupils gradually narrowed.
— Time's up — " and when Emiya heard this, he suddenly felt his right forearm being grabbed by something, after which his hand was in a different space.
— Ah!!!
His bones felt like they were about to crack, and the back of his hand was filled with a searing pain.
In the next instant, all the pain was gone, as if it had never been there.
A blinding white light suddenly appeared behind Emiya, and various symbols began to appear in the air.
At first, these symbols were white, but soon they were filled with scarlet-red color.
A figure soon emerged from the array, rubbing his hands and looking around.
— Don't worry, I won't kill you, don't be so nervous.
Su Xiao's bloody aura gradually began to dissipate as he looked at Emiya Shirou with a gentle smile on his face.
Seeing that smile, Emiya gulped down his saliva, and the bad feeling in his heart only grew stronger.
