Shirou used projection magic to create swords out of thin air.
But compared to the projection magic of the former Servant Emiya, his speed of creating weapons was much slower, and the quality of the projections was much worse.
The reason for this was simple: Shirou wasn't using projection magic at all, but magic he learned from Roxy.
By mixing water, earth, and fire magic, Shirou successfully created a magic spell that could create swords out of thin air, which he called Sword Magic.
After Roxy left, Shirou continued to practice magic without stopping. Now, he could release Sword Magic at a fairly quick speed, creating weapons out of thin air.
Also, because of Shirou's special connection to swords, he could completely skip chanting when using Sword Magic. He could even create weapons with only a very short incantation, like the projections he used to do.
Shirou thought he could do this because when using Sword Magic, his body would instinctively remember the steps of the magic. Just like the projection magic before, he could release the magic in a fixed order by using a ready-made switch.
Of course, this ability was limited to projecting weapons. Shirou was so familiar with the feeling of projecting that he could make weapons purely by instinct, without chanting. For other magic, he still needed to chant to use it.
Meanwhile, although Shirou's magic and swordsmanship greatly shocked everyone, the people of Buena Village dared not relax at all because they were still inside the forest, where wild animals could appear at any time. They continued hunting monsters carefully.
With Paul and Shirou leading the way, ordinary monsters were no match for them.
With Paul's swordsmanship and Shirou's ranged support with a bow and arrows, even relatively strong monsters didn't even have a chance to attack before being wiped out.
In particular, thanks to Shirou's overly sharp eyesight, even the most hidden monsters had nowhere to hide.
Due to his natural excellent dynamic vision, Shirou's eyes were far better than ordinary people. The future Servant Emiya even had a C-rank Clairvoyance because of this, a super-human visual ability known as Eagle Eye. Just by looking from a high place, he could see the entire town and search for enemies.
Because of these overly sharp eyes, Servant Emiya's ability was so exaggerated that even when facing opponents moving at extremely high speeds, he could accurately snipe them with a bow and arrow within a 4km distance, never missing.
Although Shirou was still far from having Servant Emiya's exaggerated Clairvoyance and archery, his observation skills were still far beyond ordinary people, even surpassing Paul, who came from an adventurer background.
Even the slightest movements in the forest would be clearly reflected in his eyes.
This gave Shirou a very strong advantage in narrow, deep spaces like the forest, allowing him to predict the actions of monsters and react in advance.
…
"Let's stop hunting here."
After continuing to patrol the forest and finding almost no unusual monsters, Paul announced the end of the monster hunt.
The people of Buena Village breathed a sigh of relief, and then all surrounded Shirou.
"Whoa, Shirou, what was that you used just now? Magic?"
"To suddenly make a sword appear from your hand, it's incredible!"
"And Shirou, your swordsmanship is so strong, not at all inferior to Paul's!!"
"…"
The villagers praised him excitedly.
They were all shocked by Shirou's amazing skills, and they were also very grateful for Shirou's help, which allowed the hunting team to avoid any casualties.
Before Shirou joined the monster hunting team, the villagers often suffered injuries and had to go back for treatment, even with Paul's protection.
Now that Shirou had joined, the monster hunting team had achieved the miracle of zero injuries. The villagers couldn't help but admire Shirou.
"No way, I'm still far from Paul's level."
Shirou said slowly. Others thought he was just being modest, but Shirou knew the difference between him and Paul very well.
He was far from reaching Paul's level, even just in that Silent Blade skill.
After Shirou finally got rid of the enthusiastic villagers, Paul quickly came to him and said in surprise, "Shirou, did you learn that fighting skill you used just now by yourself?"
"Fighting skill?"
"That move where you threw the sword!"
"This…"
Shirou was a little surprised by Paul's reaction.
He threw the sword purely out of instinct, and in a way, it was a battle skill that Emiya Shirou himself possessed.
With the ability to project, Shirou could freely use up weapons and even use them as pure throwaway items.
The ultimate form of this skill was a technique called Crane Wing Three Strikes, which involved creating three pairs of identical noble phantasms in a row to inflict unavoidable fatal damage on the enemy.
After thinking about it, Shirou could only explain that it was his temporary reaction.
Paul was greatly shocked after hearing this and muttered, "Shirou, are you really not considering giving up Sword God Style and switching to North God Style? You are definitely a genius in North God Style! If you come to study North God Style, you might reach the upper level at an unimaginable speed, even surpassing the upper level!"
"…"
Shirou did not respond to Paul's praise.
He just showed the same calm attitude as before and said quietly, "I'm sorry, Paul, I still want to learn Sword God Style, so please don't try to persuade me."
"This… okay."
Because it was a topic they had discussed many times, Paul knew that Shirou would not easily change his mind.
In fact, although Shirou's talent in Sword God Style was average, his foundation was solid. Now, step by step, he had reached a level that even Paul was having trouble keeping up with.
His two sons, one a genius in swordsmanship and the other a genius in magic, Paul, as a father, really felt a bit overwhelmed.
The group left the forest, talking as they went.
As the hunting team was about to break up, Shirou saw Laws walking at the end of the group. Because they were old acquaintances, he immediately went up to say hello.
But Laws seemed to be in a daze and didn't notice his actions at all.
"Laws?"
"Ah… it's Shirou." Hearing Shirou's words as he came closer, Laws finally came back to his senses. "I'm sorry, I was a bit distracted just now."
"Is something on your mind?"
"This… forget it, just some small things."
Laws didn't seem to want to trouble Shirou with his problems, and he waved his hand with a smile.
Seeing this, Shirou didn't want to press him further, so he could only watch as Laws' slightly depressed figure gradually disappeared from his sight.
