"Mystery, huh?"
"You've finally appeared!" Looking at the newly appeared
ability on the Divine Blessing panel before him, Shirou's mood was exceptionally joyful. After all, this was Mystery!
In Orario, owners of Mystery were considered formidable beings. Every owner of Mystery was famous in Orario.
Currently, there were only four owners of Mystery in the entire Orario, which shows how rare Mystery is. Among these four, the one who developed Mystery the most profoundly was the Sage. The Sage, who created the Philosopher's Stone, used it to break the taboo of life and death, gaining eternal life. Although there was a price, compared to eternal life, what were those?
"However, my Mystery came quite late!" Other transmigrators gained Mystery when they reached Level 2, but Shirou dragged it out until Level 6! It's truly infuriating to compare oneself to others!
"But with this, I can start making that item!" Recalling the item he had designed in his mind earlier, Shirou couldn't help but feel anticipation. After all, if this item's effectiveness were in Orario, it would practically be junk. But here, it was a genuinely divine-level item.
"But this also requires me to fully understand Mystery first. However, with Loki's Blessing, I'm also top-tier in
terms of learning!"
"But for now, I still need to return to Millennia Castle!"
Shirou, who had already spoken with Jeanne beforehand, simply waved at her and left. Now, the Black Faction Masters should be observing him; it's better not to cause any further complications at this time. Looking at the rising sun, Shirou's face, after a night of fierce fighting, was filled with joy. Indeed, this kind of battle was far
more exhilarating.
As soon as he returned to Millennia Castle, Shirou was greeted by the Black Faction's Masters and Servants.
Especially Darnic, who eagerly asked, "How was it, Emiya? Did you complete your Noble Phantasm, thus leveling up?"
"Ah! I've completed it!"
"Now, I no longer fear any Servant!" Shirou proudly declared to Darnic's question.

Looking at his base stats five A's and one EXwho could rival his panel? And a new personal skill, Divinity: E, had appeared. Shirou was prepared for E-rank Divinity. After all, he had just reached the realm of a demigod, so his Divinity wouldn't be too high.
Moreover, Achilles, with half divine blood, only had C-rank Divinity. As for Karna's A-rank Divinity, that guy had merged with his father after death, essentially becoming a god after dying! If such an existence didn't have A-rank Divinity, that would be a ghost! However, what surprised Shirou a little was that his Clairvoyance seemed to have advanced, becoming A-rank. But this was a transformation, so a skill breakthrough was natural.
"This is great then!" Seeing Shirou truly transform, Darnic was overjoyed. Although the Red Faction had now lost two Servants, and their own side had gained one Servant, Darnic still didn't dare to be careless when facing the Red Faction. Currently, only five Servants from the Red Faction had appeared, but the quality of these five Servants was unbelievably high. Karna, Achilles, Atalanta, Mordred, Spartacus. None of these five Servants were simple existences.
Therefore, he was even more vigilant towards the Red Faction's other two Servants, Assassin and Caster.
Especially the Red Faction's Caster; in this kind of Holy Grail War, the Caster class would be incredibly powerful, practically a strategic weapon. Therefore, even though it was now eight against five, Darnic still didn't dare to be careless.
Now, with the leveled-up Shirou, his confidence in achieving final victory grew even stronger.
"The victory of this Holy Grail War will definitely be ours!"

Millennia Castle. Under the bright sunlight, Shirou was sparring with Chiron in swordsmanship. The two exchanged blows, seemingly evenly matched for a time.
But soon, Shirou's swordsmanship revealed a flaw, which Chiron seized upon, pressing his advantage. Thus, Shirou quickly lost the match.
"As expected of the teacher of countless heroes. Besides archery, whether it's swordsmanship, spear arts, or even wrestling, you are a top-tier grandmaster!" Chiron shook his head at Shirou's praise and did not accept it. This humble behavior made Shirou respect him even more.
"Then let's continue! Teacher Chiron!" As Shirou's words fell, the two once again engaged in battle. At this moment, Shirou was learning swordsmanship from Chiron. Compared to his archery, his swordsmanship was actually more lacking. Although his swordsmanship had some merit in the Chivalry of a Failed Knight world, in this Holy Grail War, facing these legendary heroes, he was always at a disadvantage in terms of technique.
Therefore, he was extremely eager for Chiron's
techniques. With such a teacher present, how could he not seize the time to learn! The two's sparring continued until noon, only ending when Fiore brought them lunch.
"As expected of a great family, your chef's skills are truly excellent!"
"If you like it, Shirou, please eat more!"
"Of course!" Shirou never let good food go to waste.
Sitting in her wheelchair, cupping her face and watching Shirou eat, Fiore softly asked, "Mr. Shirou doesn't seem like a Servant at all. I see the other Servants don't eat!"
"That's probably because I'm from the future! After all, there's so much delicious food in modern society; how could those ancient people understand it?"
"After all, eating was one of my greatest pleasures in life!" While savoring the food, Shirou rambled on. Of course, he ate because he wasn't a pure Heroic Spirit! He had a physical body. Like Jeanne, who manifested in a possession-type form, she also needed to eat, otherwise she would go hungry. Seeing Shirou call himself an ancient person, Chiron shook his head helplessly. He indeed had no need for food.
"I see!" Looking at Shirou's face, Fiore nodded thoughtfully.
