"Huh, still want to fight?" Looking at the battle-ready Ouma Kurogane, Shirou said with a chuckle. "Your fighting spirit is good, but your body must be close to its limit, right?"
"After all, you took that blow fully; it's impossible to come out completely unscathed, right?"
"So what!" Raising his Noble Art, the Dragon's Claw, Ouma Kurogane's magic power began to condense. "I came here just to find stronger opponents and become stronger. How could I run away after meeting an opponent like you?!"
"Is that so!" Slowly putting his hands in his pockets, Shirou said calmly, "Swing your sword!"
"I'm not interested in raising my sword against a weaker opponent. If you want to spar with me that badly, then one strike. As long as you can wound me with one strike, I'll spar with you." Hearing these words, Ouma Kurogane's pupils constricted. He was very familiar with this sentence; he had said it to Raimei Touka Toudou before. That sentence was filled with contempt for his opponent. But now, that sentence was being used on him by his opponent.
"Interesting!" Tightly gripping his Noble Art, the Dragon's Claw, Ouma Kurogane's mouth kept curling upwards. "If you think so, then come and try it!" Holding the gigantic greatsword with both hands, he raised the blade, pouring all his magic power into it. Wind God Sword Emperor Ouma Kurogane's ability was natural interference the ability to manipulate wind. A storm was thus born, forming a tornado centered on the Dragon's Claw, devouring the surrounding air. Air, rubble, fire. It devoured everything in its vicinity. Compressed and re-compressed, it even gained mass, finally forming a sweeping sword of storm.
"Dangetsu Tenryusou!" (Moon-Slaying Heavenly Dragon's Claw) The fifty-meter-long storm greatsword, carrying infinite mass, swung towards Shirou.
"I see, it's the same usage as Stella's Fenten Fendi Ryuuou-En (Blazing Heaven and Earth Dragon King Flame). But is its power even greater than Stella's flame greatsword?" Just like that, Shirou directly took Ouma Kurogane's ultimate Noble Art head-on. The storm greatsword struck Shirou and destroyed all the buildings near him. But when the smoke cleared, what appeared before Ouma Kurogane was an unscathed Shirou.
"How could this be!" Looking at the unscathed Shirou, Ouma Kurogane was shaken like never before.
"Do you understand now? My training method is too different from yours; you were never my opponent from the start." Repeating Ouma Kurogane's words back to him, Shirou slowly walked forward. As Shirou said, this was the difference between him and Ouma Kurogane. The reason Touka Toudou couldn't harm Ouma Kurogane, besides his magic power defense, was more importantly his physical defense. But Shirou's physical defense was far superior to Ouma Kurogane's. Not to mention that even in terms of magic power, Shirou was now above Ouma Kurogane. Such a Shirou was simply incomparable to Ouma Kurogane.
"You chose the wrong opponent, Ouma Kurogane!"
Walking calmly in front of Ouma Kurogane, Shirou swung his sword with divine speed. Ouma Kurogane, unable to react, was instantly struck and fell to the ground. This was the Twin Wings Sword (Hiyoku no Ken).
It was the divine-speed sword that Shirou learned from Edelweiss. The swinging speed of this sword, from zero to a hundred, was merely an instant; it was a truly divine-speed sword. Unable to keep up with his swinging speed, there was only one path: defeat.
"Hiraga Reizen? A doll? Take this guy away! We at Hagun Academy will settle the score with you at the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival later."
"In that case, we'll see you at the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival!" After sending the injured away, Hiraga Reizen returned to check on Ouma Kurogane. As Shirou said, he was just a doll. Therefore, he didn't care about things that were dangerous to others.
After seeing Hiraga Reizen leave, Shirou walked over to Touka Toudou and asked, "How are you, senpai? You're not hurt, are you?"
"No injuries, just a bit of frustration." Recalling how she went all out but couldn't harm the opponent in the slightest, Touka Toudou felt a surge of frustrated annoyance in her heart.
"If you're frustrated, then keep training yourself. That's proof that you haven't given up!"
"I think that's how the saying goes, right?" After relaying this previously heard phrase to Touka Toudou, Shirou felt a ripple of magic power. He then saw Kurono Shinguuji and Nene Saikyo finally arrive.
"You're quite late!"
"Everything's over, and now you're back." Although he didn't want to admit it, what Shirou said was indeed the truth. A bit embarrassed, Kurono Shinguuji and Nene Saikyo quickly asked, "How is everyone?"
"They're alright, all unconscious, but no life-threatening injuries!" Looking at Kurono Shinguuji and Nene Saikyo, who had finally returned, Shirou also breathed a sigh of relief. With those two back, everything would be fine. He would leave the rest to them. As for himself, it was time to think about leaving. Looking at the blue sky, Shirou thought.
________________________________________
The subsequent events went smoothly. Stella, who had been sent away, was eventually found. The Ikki siblings, who rescued Nagi Arisu, encountered some trouble. Under Shirou's arrangement, Ikki met Edelweiss, allowing the "Failed Knight" to witness the realm of the world's strongest for the first time.
Afterwards, Akatsuki Academy launched a strong offensive and became the eighth academy to participate in the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival. After all, the mastermind behind them was Japan's Prime Minister, and under his news censorship, there was no mention of Akatsuki Academy and its members being defeated by Shirou. This allowed Akatsuki Academy to smoothly become a member of the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival.
Due to the emergence of dark world elites, this year's Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival was arguably the strongest and most dangerous in history.
But these were no longer what Shirou had to think about.
He was currently preparing to leave. After bidding farewell to his Hagun Academy classmates, Shirou left Hagun Academy. After all, they didn't know that Shirou was leaving this world, so they weren't overly sad. As for Stella, Shirou didn't even see her. After that battle, Stella, deeply feeling her own weakness, went to Nene Saikyo to train her strength. She wanted to face Ouma Kurogane again at the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival.
Therefore, Shirou specifically left her a letter, asking Shizuku to deliver it.
"It's finally come to this moment!" In the patisserie, Shirou's initial landing spot. Shirou would embark on a new journey from here.

"Is it really not possible?"
"Of course, I've told you how many times already, I don't have the ability to travel with others right now."
"But I don't want to leave Master!" Listening to Edelweiss's words in his arms, Shirou also said with reluctance, "I also don't want to be separated from you all, but I have a goal that I must achieve."
"Is it Miyu?"
"That's right!" Edelweiss, who learned about Shirou's past, naturally knew about Miyu's existence. After a moment of silence, Edelweiss said seriously, "Please, you must achieve your wish and save Miyu! Brother!"
"Mm! Definitely!" After kissing Edelweiss's cheek, Shirou picked up his bag and summoned the golden pocket watch in his heart[Far Time's Etch].
"Let's begin, a new journey!"
