As the solar cut dissipated, a figure emerged from the crowd, his eyes fixed intently on Shiro. Gawain, the knight of the sun, stood tall, his armor shining with a warm, golden light. He drew his sword, its blade gleaming with an inner radiance.
"Let's finish this," Gawain said, his voice firm and resolute. He charged towards Shiro, Mordred joining him in a synchronized attack.
Shiro, faced with the dual assault, felt his instincts kick in. He grasped the Spear of Void firmly, its power coursing through him. With a swift motion, he activated the Inverted Spear of Heaven and Earth, its energy enveloping him in a vortex of blue and red hues.
The air around Shiro seemed to distort, his body moving at incredible velocities as he clashed with Gawain and Mordred. The three combatants exchanged blows, their movements a blur of steel and shadow. Shiro's Inpenetrable Armor glowed with a fierce light, protecting him from the dual onslaught.
The fight was intense, with all three warriors giving their all. Shiro's strength and speed allowed him to hold his own against the dual attack, but Gawain and Mordred were formidable opponents, their skills honed to perfection.
The commotion of the battle caught the attention of the returning parade. The "Lion King" Arthur, sensing the massive energy clashes, sent out Lancelot to investigate.
Lancelot, the greatest knight of the Round Table, rode towards the battle, his eyes fixed on the combatants. As he approached, he drew his sword, its blade shining with a brilliant light.
Without warning, Lancelot unleashed a massive flying slash, catching Shiro off guard. The attack hurtled towards Shiro, its power and speed leaving him little room to react
The battle between Lancelot and Shiro was intense, with both warriors exchanging blows that shook the earth. The sound of clashing steel echoed through the streets, accompanied by the hum of magical energy.
Mordred and Gawain stepped back, their faces set with concern. "We need to get the civilians to safety," Mordred said, her voice firm.
Gawain nodded, and together they began to herd the onlookers away from the battle. The civilians scrambled to get out of the way, their faces filled with fear and awe.
Shiro, clad in the Inpenetrable Armor, charged forward, his Spear of Void glowing with dark energy. Lancelot met him head-on, their blades clashing in a flurry of steel and magic. The armor's regenerative properties allowed Shiro to withstand the onslaught, despite his stats being pushed to their limits.
As they fought, Shiro caught a glimpse of Lancelot's stats:
Strength: EX
Speed: A
Endurance: A++
IQ: B
Battle IQ: EX+
Vitality: A
Mana: C
Shiro's eyes widened in shock. He had never seen stats like these before. The added attributes, such as IQ and Vitality, were new to him. He attributed it to the changing system, which was still compiling data at 97%.
The battle raged on, with both warriors giving their all. Shiro's A++ stats were pushed to their limits, but the Inpenetrable Armor's regenerative properties allowed him to keep up. Lancelot's sheer strength and battle IQ made him a formidable opponent, and Shiro found himself struggling to keep pace.
Just as Shiro was gaining momentum, a flying stream of yellow energy hurtled towards him. Shiro, focused on Lancelot, was caught off guard. Lancelot took advantage of the distraction and landed a critical hit, sending Shiro stumbling backward.
The yellow energy, a Noble Phantasm, struck Shiro with full force. He grunted, his body absorbing the impact. The Inpenetrable Armor glowed brightly, but even its regenerative properties couldn't fully mitigate the damage
Shiro's eyes slowly opened, and he found himself in a dark room. He rubbed his temples, trying to recall the events that led him there. The yellow slash still lingered in his mind, and he realized that he was in the Singularity Camelot, where Artoria's Alter, the Lion King, reigned supreme. The yellow flash, he now knew, was Rhongomiant, the Spear of the End of Time.
As he sat up, a sudden ping echoed in his mind.

Shiro's eyes widened in shock. "Noob"? Was the system kidding him? He had kept up with Lancelot, one of the strongest knights in Camelot. And what did the system mean by "lacking strength"? The system's tone seemed different, more... alive.
The system's actions were even more audacious, exchanging his Spear of Void without asking him. Shiro's mind reeled with questions. What was strong according to this system? And what did it mean by giving him a class, Grand Lancer?
As he pondered these questions, a flash of light filled the room, and the sound of metal boots echoed through the space...
