Fate: I Will Eventually Become the Hero of Justice

Chapter 92

In the realm of darkness known as the land of shadows, a red spear appeared like a meteor and struck Shirou. With a sudden movement, a black hand reached out from behind him and deftly caught the spear.

Scathach took hold of the weapon and said, "Shirou, shake off the mud. It won't serve as proper training if you don't."

Shirou, unable to do anything about it, responded with a hint of helplessness, "That's because every time I enter, my shisho creeps up on me. It's enough to give me nightmares."

Scathach was about to continue speaking when Shirou swiftly removed the black hand and projected two swords, sneaking up on her like the wind.

With a flick of her wrist and a shift of the spear, she effortlessly defended herself against his attack. A small smile appeared on her exquisite face as she said, "You're not learning obedience, but instead how to sneak up."

He chuckled and replied, "I learned that from my shisho." He then resumed his attack.

But it was to no avail, as she expertly stabbed him with thirty-seven precise strikes, causing him to fall to the ground, lifeless.

"This is truly disheartening. In terms of martial arts, I can still only get in three moves before being defeated by shisho." he rubbed the back of his neck.

"You could try awakening the Wisdom of Dun Scaith, it will allow you to last a few more moves," she suggested.

"That won't work. How can a copied skill compare to one I've created with my own two hands? Watch this, Shisho!" he kicked the ground, sending sand flying and momentarily blinding her. He then charged forward with a slash.

"It's amazing how pure your eyes are, yet you're becoming more and more cunning," Scathach said as she closed her eyes and thrust her long spear, directly piercing his abdomen and ending his life.

An hour had passed, and the Hero Fujimaru Shirou had used twenty lives but still couldn't defeat the Great Demon King Scathach.

Although he had contemplated using underhanded tactics to secure victory, he never got the chance to act on his deceitful thoughts. Scathach's javelin hit him square in the head, and the game was over. Laughing at his foolishness, she offered some advice: "You ought to focus on training honestly. Don't even consider sneaky tactics."

From that point on, the practice was no longer about pushing the limits of one's spirit after four battles, but two hours of normal training. The first hour was actual combat training, and the second hour was dedicated to learning Rune Magecraft.

Rune Magecraft can be considered a simplified version of the Primordial Rune and is a branch of Nordic Magecraft. It's also a necessary prerequisite for learning the Primordial Rune.

She was willing to directly teach Shirou the Primordial Rune, but if he couldn't understand the mechanism and method of the Rune, then it would be useless. So, he had to learn Rune Magecraft first.

Unfortunately, Shirou struggled with understanding the concepts.

He could only rely on his greatest mortal ability, hard work, and the special skill of a student, memorization to fill the gaps in his understanding.

First, he memorized the various runes, then he memorized the mechanism and method of use, and gradually he began to understand.

The two hours passed quickly.

"Goodbye, shisho. I'll see you tomorrow!" Shirou smiled and waved goodbye to Scathach.

The next day, he met Kiritsugu at a newly opened coffee shop in Miyama, where he returned the book he borrowed.
