The first day of Hagun Academy was over. It was now nighttime. Standing by the window in her dorm room, gazing at the darkness outside, Shizuku Kurogane was telling her roommate about her brother.
"My feelings for my brother have never changed, but it wasn't until he left home that I realized his situation in that household."
"I hated those people from the bottom of my heart. From then on, I made up my mind that whether it was fatherly love, motherly love, or brotherly love, or sisterly love, I would give it all to him!"
"So, the love between us siblings is by no means the dirty behavior you imagine." Turning her head, Shizuku Kurogane spoke earnestly to Stella, whose face was flushed.
"Who has dirty thoughts!" Stella argued loudly, feeling offended.
"Hmph!" Shizuku Kurogane disdained Stella's defense. After all, if she weren't living with Stella, she would surely encounter her often with her brother in the future, saving her the trouble of interfering in her and her brother's affairs. How else could she have told her such a thing!
"Rather than talking to you, Stella, I'd rather chat with Alice!" Alice, also a classmate of Shizuku Kurogane and Stella, was named Nagi Arisuin. Although he appeared male, he claimed to have a female soul, and despite having just met, he had already become good friends with Shizuku Kurogane and Stella.
"If it's Alice, I really can't compare!" Stella naturally knew how understanding Alice was. Talking with him always felt like talking to an old friend from a long time ago.
"If you know, then don't casually interfere with my
brother and me next time."
"I know, I know, alright!" Under Shizuku Kurogane's coercion, Stella finally agreed not to interfere with Shizuku and her brother's matters anymore. Seeing that this stubborn woman finally compromised, Shizuku Kurogane's stern face finally relaxed.
Just as she was about to praise her sensible roommate, her student handbook suddenly rang. "Hello, it's Alice.
What's wrong?"
"What? You said brother is fighting someone in a corner of the school? Where?"
"I understand, I'm coming!" Seeing Shizuku Kurogane quickly run out, Stella, who had been eavesdropping, quickly shouted.
"I'm coming too!"
"Then hurry!"

...
Outside a small forest, Shizuku Kurogane and Stella, who had arrived in a hurry, met up with Nagi Arisuin, who was waiting for them there, and then walked into the forest.
"It was first discovered by an upperclassman with a habit of night jogging, and then she posted it on the school's forum."
"Now, many people from the school are rushing here!" Shizuku Kurogane, running forward led by Nagi Arisuin, took out her student handbook and logged onto the school forum after hearing his explanation. Seeing the pinned video, she quickly clicked on it.
In the video, two swordsmen were constantly clashing. In the dark environment, their figures continuously flickered, with only the gleam of their swords shining clearly. A swordsman wielding dual blades and a swordsman wielding a single blade with both hands.
Their battle was like the decisive battle between
Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.
After quickly watching the short video, both Shizuku Kurogane and Stella couldn't help but feel their blood pump. The sharp sword arts of these two were truly captivating.
"We're almost there!" Hearing Nagi Arisuin's reminder, the two, who were still relishing the video, quickly looked up. The small, previously quiet grove was now filled with many people. And where everyone was looking, two swordsmen were fighting with all their might.

Clang!
Another clash of weapons. The two, who had retreated, quickly stopped their movements. Staring intently at each other, their eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Having entered their zone, the two saw no one else but each other; all they wanted now was to forcefully suppress the opponent with the swords in their hands.
In this contest, Shirou and Ikki Kurogane were both continuously growing. Ikki Kurogane was the first master swordsman Shirou had encountered, and under his sword, Shirou rapidly absorbed various experiences, continuously evolving. In contrast, Ikki Kurogane was constantly digesting various never-before-seen sword techniques, similarly growing continuously. Immersed in the passion of growth and fierce combat, the two were now thinking of nothing else.
Their only goal was to defeat the opponent.
"Again!"
"Come on!"
The two clashed again, pouring out everything they had. Their swords sliced through the void, streaks of sword light continuously echoing in the eyes of the surrounding onlookers. Moving back and forth in the battle, the two relentlessly destroyed obstacles around them. Chairs, tree trunks, trash cans. Any object obstructing their battle would be instantly severed in the next moment.
Such a scene was undoubtedly damaging public property, but no one around them made any move to stop it.
Just let them keep fighting, they thought to themselves.
"These two guys are really letting loose. It seems after this, I'll have to have a serious talk with them about compensation!" Leaning against a large tree on the side, Kurono Shinguuji spoke of compensation, but the smile on her lips couldn't be hidden.
"My brother's compensation will be paid by me!" Hearing
Kurono Shinguuji's words, Shizuku Kurogane, who had been engrossed in the swordsmen's clash, quickly said.
"Is that so? Then suit yourself!" Glancing at Shizuku Kurogane, Kurono Shinguuji once again turned her gaze to the two still fighting. And beside the two, Stella, also immersed in the battle, was filled with shock.
"What kind of monsters are they?!" The two in the field, one was suppressing the other with his sword art, while the other was continuously deciphering the opponent's sword art. And when that person finished deciphering the opponent's sword art, the opponent would immediately bring out another set of sword art.
Since Stella arrived here, the red-haired boy, who was on the offensive, had already changed his sword arts more than a dozen times.
"Hehehe, Emiya-Kun's monstrosity isn't just that!"
Hearing Stella's exclamation, Nene Saikyo, who had been standing silently nearby, couldn't help but explain.
"You only see Emiya-Kun continuously changing his sword arts, but you probably haven't noticed that in between, he's also incorporating several sword arts that Little Ikki just figured out to counter his own sword arts!"
"Both of them are continuously learning each other's sword techniques and enhancing their own strength during their engagement."
"In other words, both of them are continuously evolving."
Indeed, at this moment, both Ikki Kurogane and Shirou were continuously evolving. While constantly absorbing each other's understanding, both were refining their own knowledge. Shirou's sword techniques became increasingly un-systematic; under the cultivation of countless experiences, Shirou's unique style was gradually forming. The sword in his hand became faster and faster, and his strength grew stronger and stronger.
Driven by his own unique style of swordsmanship, the power of this body was continuously being unleashed.
But facing the increasingly strong Shirou, Ikki Kurogane's movements also became sharper and sharper. Under the refinement of extensive knowledge, his moves became more precise, and his understanding of Shirou became clearer.
However, he couldn't completely imitate the opponent's sword art, because Shirou's sword art was constantly evolving and changing. This person's sword art had no history, no lineage.
He continuously incorporated sword techniques taken from others into himself, and then merged them. While his own strength grew, all his skills advanced simultaneously. This man was walking the path of embracing all rivers. His sword art was simply inexhaustible. This was the Unlimited Blade!
