I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice - CH 5
“Uh…” Shirou’s eyebrows unconsciously tightened as he slowly opened his eyes. His consciousness had not fully returned yet, as if the pain in his brain from overuse was still present.
He felt a moist breath on his face and a soft, warm presence next to him.
Slightly turning his head, Shirou saw Sakura lying next to him on the pillow, sleeping peacefully.
With each breath, the warm air gently exhaled onto his face, like a cat’s claws scratching an itch.
Shirou’s throat was a little dry, so he slightly moved to try to get up and pour a glass of water. However, this slight movement woke the girl next to him, who let out a soft “mumble.”
“Brother, you’re awake,” the girl says, rubbing her sleepy eyes and speaking in a soft voice.
“Sorry, did I wake you?” Shirou apologizes, his tired smile belying his still-weak body. “I was just trying to get some water and I guess I woke you up by accident. I’m sorry.”
“Let me do it for you.”
“No, it’s okay. It’s just a small thing. I can do it myself,” Shirou smiles and tries to sit up, determined to take care of himself despite his weakness.
But to Shirou’s surprise, Sakura pushed him back and said seriously, “Brother is a patient. You should lie down.”
Saying that, she ran out of the room and went downstairs to get water.
Shirou didn’t know what to say. He could only sigh that having a sister is really nice, especially one who is so considerate. But reason told Shirou that this is only temporary. Sakura had run away from home and the Tohsaka and Matou families will definitely find her.
Shirou shook his head, not wanting to think about these complicated things.
But even if he didn’t want to think about them, these complicated things would come to him anyway.
Slightly lifting his hand, Shirou looked at the red marks on his palm, or rather, the cursed magical creations called Command Seals. A bitter expression appeared on his face.
He had wanted to avoid the Fourth Holy Grail War but ended up becoming a participant in it. And he even summoned the original owner who wanted to kill him.
As a result, when the servant saw that it was his young self who did the summoning, he decisively committed suicide, ultimately causing part of him to merge with his spiritual core and become a sub-servant like Mashu, as well as a part-time Master…
Isn’t this pushing him to a dead end?
As both a Master and a servant, even if he wants to withdraw from the Fourth Holy Grail War, he can’t. The only way to withdraw from the Holy Grail War is for either the servant to perish or the Master to perish.
And now he is both a servant and a Master, how can he withdraw? Use his head to withdraw?
Is the outcome going to be that he either scrapes by and wins or gets crushed to death?
“My luck… it’s really not good. Why is it so bad!”
He wanted to avoid the Fourth Holy Grail War and the mysteries, but in the end, he has become tied to the Holy Grail War in a relationship where either he dies or the other person dies.
How unlucky!
It’s like carrying water with a bamboo basket, tears coming before words can be spoken!
“What is this?”
Suddenly, Shirou was surprised by the sight in front of him.
In front of him was a frame, like the system frame described in novels.
No.
It should not be called a system frame, but rather a magic brought by the Holy Grail, which analyzed the body’s condition and formed data that could be recognized by the brain.
Class: Caster
Strength: E
Durability: E
Agility: E
Magic: C
Luck: E
Noble Phantasm: Unlimited Blade Works (E ~ A++)
Class Skills:
Fortification Construction E-: As someone who is not a magician, you have no understanding of what a magic workshop is and can barely construct a workshop with some protective functions using the skills granted by your class.
Item Creation E-: As someone who is not a magician, you have no understanding of what item creation is and can barely create some magic items with some ability using the skills granted by your class.
Inherent Skills:
Eagle Eye C: Also known as “Eagle Eye” vision. By looking down from a high place, you can recognize the entire area of a town and search for enemies.
Magic C-: Magic skills granted by the spiritual foundation, having learned traditional magic. Skilled in strengthening and projection magic. When projecting “sword” type weapons, it will rise to A+.
Mind’s Eye (True) B: Insight cultivated from practice and training. Can calmly grasp one’s own situation and enemy’s ability in a disadvantageous situation and find a “combat theory” for survival. B level means that even if there is only a 1% chance of reversal, you can grasp the opportunity and implement tactics.
Without a doubt, this is the ability template brought by the fusion with Heroic Spirit Emiya’s Saint Graph.
But isn’t this attribute value too low?
Shirou’s mouth twitched at the sight of a row of E’s. How can he survive in the Holy Grail War with these attributes?
This is too difficult! This is a dead end!
The danger to his life prompts Shirou to get off the bed and pick up a towel to wipe his right hand, even though he knows it is a futile effort. He still hopes to be able to wipe off this curse, as it is too scary to have.
He’s afraid that halfway through, a servant will jump out of the bushes and shout “Demacia” while wielding a big sword and gank him!
“Big brother, what are you doing?” Sakura picked up a cup of water and walked in, looking at Shirou with a confused expression.
Shirou subconsciously covered his right hand and turned to the girl, muttering, “It’s nothing.”
She placed a glass of water in front of him and said, “Here you go.”
Shirou gratefully picked up the glass and drank it all in one go.
“Big brother, you should lie down. Your body is still weak.” Sakura said with a worried expression.
“Yeah, I know.” Shirou hid his right hand behind his back and lay back on the bed, pointing to the drawer of the desk with his left hand. “Sakura, there are two black gloves in that drawer. Can you help me get one?”
If he can’t wipe off the curse, then he can only cover it up. Otherwise, if other participants find him, he will definitely be killed in various ways. How can a six-year-old kid with a full row of E attributes fight with those mythic killers who have experienced life and death? How will he fight? With his head?
Therefore, he can only reduce the chance of his curse being exposed and it is best if no one finds out. He needs to run away from Fuyuki City as soon as possible. Who knows, there may be a chance of survival.
“Big brother, why do you need to wear gloves in the room? And what is the red graffiti on the back of your right hand? It can’t be washed off and Aunty Chiyo was very angry before.” Sakura passed the gloves to Shirou and reported at the same time.
Shirou, who received the gloves, slowly lost his smile.
“Sakura, have you seen the mark on the back of my right hand?” Shirou asked nervously.
Sakura nodded, feeling somewhat strange about why Shirou’s face was so tense.
“Besides you and my mom, has anyone else seen the mark on the back of my hand?” Shirou’s face was extremely tense, as this involves his life!
“Yes!” Sakura nodded without hesitation.
“Who?” Shirou immediately asked, as this is a matter of life and death.
“Uh… me, Aunty Chiyo, Uncle Narita, and your teacher, classmates, and aunts and uncles from the surrounding neighbor’s houses…” Sakura thought and said, “Oh, right! And a girl with brown hair, as well as her parents and relatives. A lot of people.”
Sakura tried to recall and answered Shirou’s question to the best of her ability, but she did not notice that Shirou’s face was getting paler and that a white ghost-like ball was almost coming out of his mouth.
As soon as the thought of possessing the command spells entered his mind, Shirou imagines a group of mages with grotesque smiles knocking on his door and setting him up like a fool in every way imaginable.
Oh my god, it’s too much for him! Please, oh Lord, turn him back into a human!
