The so-called student council member Fitz, his real identity is actually Sylphy, who grew up with Shirou and Rudeus in Buena Village.
After the great shift event happened, Sylphy was brought to the royal capital of the Asura Kingdom by the power of the great shift, and accidentally saved Princess Ariel who was trapped by monsters.
During this process, Sylphy's hair turned white from its original green due to the exhaustion of magic power from prolonged use.
At the same time, in order to hide her identity, Sylphy simply concealed her name and went by the name Fitz.
Because of her achievement of saving Princess Ariel, plus Sylphy's learning of magic and healing spells from a young age, she became Ariel's guard mage.
When Ariel had to flee the royal capital due to the internal strife of the Asura Kingdom, Sylphy naturally followed Ariel.
When she heard that the destination was the magic university, Sylphy realized that she might encounter Rudeus.
After all, Rudeus had left for the magic university before her in Buena Village.
However, when Sylphy arrived at the magic university, she found that she couldn't get any news about Rudeus, because she didn't enter the special class.
Sylphy thought that Rudeus might have already left the magic university, so she didn't care and continued to serve as Princess Ariel's guard.
Until Princess Ariel became the student council president of the magic university by her own skills, Sylphy also became one of the top figures in the magic university under the name of Fitz.
After all, as a user of chantless magic, she was a rare talent even in the magic university.
Of course, Sylphy never had excessive confidence in her talent, and even less could she become arrogant.
Because she had witnessed the growth of the two Greyrat brothers in Buena Village since she was a child, and deeply understood that those two were truly geniuses.
She was just a dull follower stumbling after them.
Sylphy originally thought so, planning to further study magic at the magic university so that she could show stronger magic power in the future and meet those two again.
But she never expected that they would meet, but the timing didn't seem to be very good.
Or rather, it was terribly bad.
...
The magic university's dining hall.
"Ariel?"
When Shirou heard Fitz's conversation with the student council members, he immediately paid attention to the name of the student council president mentioned by the other person.
After all, if his memory was correct, the second princess of the Asura Kingdom was named Ariel.
She had even come to the Boreas family before, seeking power from himself as Muramasa, and then was accidentally kidnapped and saved by him…
Due to so many strange connections, Shirou paid some attention to Princess Ariel.
When he returned to the Asura Kingdom, he specifically investigated Princess Ariel's whereabouts, but heard that she had been assassinated and, while trying to leave the Asura Kingdom, was ambushed on the way and died at the hands of political enemies.
Shirou felt quite emotional about this.
If it wasn't for being eager to become stronger and find his family, he would have returned to the royal capital of the Asura Kingdom as soon as possible, if not to avenge Ariel, at least to seek some justice for her.
In short, Shirou's feelings for Ariel were quite complicated, so when he learned that the student council president's name was Ariel, he even couldn't help but fantasize that she was the Ariel he knew.
But he also knew that having the same name was not a new thing in this world.
Ariel was not a rare name, and the probability of a coincidence was quite high.
With rational thoughts, he stopped fantasizing so much and instead focused his attention on the incident in front of him.
He had met this boy named Fitz before when he first entered the university, and his impression of him was not bad.
He just didn't expect that the other party was also a member of the student council, and seemed to be quite trusted by the student council members.
Considering his current conflict with the magic university student council, a battle with Fitz may be unavoidable.
While Shirou was thinking and didn't really want to start a fight, Fitz himself wanted to avoid this meaningless battle even more.
After all, Fitz's real identity was Sylphy, and she couldn't be enemies with Shirou and Rudeus.
But she hadn't revealed her identity yet, and was still confronting Shirou as a stranger named Fitz. If she didn't want to reveal her identity, she couldn't violate her duty.
While she hesitated, the student council members had already made a decision for her.
Many student council members confidently pushed Fitz forward to fight Shirou and Rudeus.
The reason for letting Fitz go alone was because she had shown amazing strength after coming to the magic university with Ariel.
Not only did she have the ability to use chantless magic, but she had also defeated Linia, Pursena, and more than twenty bad students alone in a confrontation with Linia and Pursena.
That battle made no one in the entire magic university question her anymore, completely establishing her current reputation.
Although it seemed like she was fighting two people alone, most people didn't think there was a problem.
However, Fitz himself was undoubtedly collapsing. She knew the strength of Shirou and Rudeus, and she might not be a match for either of them in a one-on-one fight, let alone fighting two at once.
That would be a death without even knowing how she died.
Just when she was in a dilemma and didn't know how to get out of the situation, Shirou took the initiative to say: "If we must fight, then let me be your opponent, but I hope for one thing, and that is if I win, let's pretend that today's matter never happened."
"This…"
When Fitz heard Shirou's offer, she quickly nodded and said, "Then let's do as you said!"
Fitz's words not only gave herself a way out, so she wouldn't have to fight Shirou and Rudeus two at once, but only had to choose one of them as an opponent, but also allowed Shirou and the others to have a better ending to the matter.
Although the student council members were somewhat concerned about this choice, they trusted Fitz's strength, so they didn't raise any questions.
The two sides prepared for a one-on-one battle.
"How about I do it?"
Rudeus felt that this incident was ultimately caused by him, and Shirou was just standing up to clean up the mess he made, so he shouldn't let the other party bear the responsibility of the duel.
Shirou shook his head and said, "It's best to take all the responsibility on myself, don't worry, nothing will happen to me."
Shirou was so confident because he knew that his backer was Dean Jinas.
As Dean Jinas's student, even if he caused any trouble, the dean would probably be able to smooth things over for him. It's just that Shirou would owe the other party even more favors and need to find a way to repay them.
In contrast, Rudeus had been in a closed-off state these days and had not built up any connections at the magic university. If he caused a huge commotion, he might really be expelled.
After considering all of this, Shirou prepared to take all the responsibility alone and have a one-on-one duel with Fitz.
The two came to an open space.
Fitz hesitated at first, but in the end she prepared for battle, pursed her lips tightly, and said, "My name is Fitz, nice to meet you."
"I am Shirou Greyrat."
Since he had already found Rudeus, Shirou no longer hid his real identity and directly reported his original name.
Some student council members who were familiar with adventurers were stunned by this name, and couldn't help but recall some rumors that were very famous in the northern continent.
But in the end, they didn't associate the rumors with him.
Fitz was somewhat concerned about Shirou's self-introduction, because she couldn't reveal her real identity for various reasons.
In her complex thoughts, the battle between the two was about to begin.
Shirou didn't intend to take the initiative, giving the other party absolute initiative.
Fitz wanted to show her strength, proving that she had not been doing nothing these years, and was trying her best to catch up with the two brothers.
So she quite seriously took out a small magic wand, and released the strongest chantless magic without hesitation.
Although it was just ordinary intermediate wind magic, because it was chantless, Sylphy's launch speed was far beyond imagination, creating several wind bullets in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, wind magic also had the characteristic of being visually unobservable, making it impossible to see which direction the attack would come from.
Shirou naturally responded to Fitz's actions.
And he didn't plan to use swordsmanship or other physical skills, but planned to use magic to deal with it as well.
After all, Shirou came to the magic university to learn and improve his magic. If he still relied on swordsmanship and other skills, magic would inevitably stop progressing.
Unlike Rudeus and Fitz, Shirou was not good at magic, and had hardly used magic in battle.
But that didn't mean that he was not good at using magic in actual combat.
On the contrary, Shirou was a Caster in the past, and was good at using magic to fight. Now, changing magic to magic was quite familiar.
"Pa!"
Facing Fitz's attack, Shirou raised his hand to create intermediate earth element magic to defend. At the same time, while creating earth walls, he also cast sword magic, creating countless blades behind him, turning them into a cage of blades.
"I Am The Bone Of My Sword."
Fitz never expected Shirou to have such an exaggerated magic activation speed.
Although it was also chantless magic, Shirou's activation speed was even better, because Shirou could even activate two different magics at the same time while multitasking.
Rudeus could also do this, but Fitz couldn't.
When she was anxiously trying to cast a second magic, Shirou's sword magic had already taken shape, and with a clanging sound, countless blades fell to the ground, directly surrounding the place where Fitz was completely!
