"How was it, Brother!" Looking at Shirou, who had retracted Oborozuki and turned around, Stella, who had been silent until now, quickly asked.
"Don't worry, I've already avenged you two!"
"Taking that hit, the opponent definitely couldn't get away unscathed!" Looking at Shirou, who was giving a thumbs-up, both Stella and Shizuku couldn't help but relax. After all, this man before them was simply that reliable. But then, Stella asked.
"Speaking of which, where's the enemy? We can't just let them get away like that!" Remembering how the two of them were almost flattened by the stone giants, Stella couldn't help but feel anger welling up inside her. How could they just let such a guy go!
Hearing Stella's question, Shizuku on the side also nodded. Indeed, from the enemy's attack, it was clear that they intended to kill them! Such an enemy couldn't be let go, no matter what.
"I also wanted to catch the opponent, but they're very far from here. By the time we got there, they'd probably have already run off!"
"How far?" Looking at the confused Stella and Shizuku, Shirou smiled and said, "The enemy is still over a hundred kilometers away."
"Over a hundred kilometers!?" Hearing Shirou's understated description, both Stella and Shizuku were greatly shocked. After all, that was over a hundred kilometers! It was already outrageous that the enemy could manipulate puppets from over a hundred kilometers away, but Shirou's arrow could even shoot over a hundred kilometers to avenge them. This seemed even more outrageous.
How much power was this man hiding?! Stella and Shizuku didn't know. But they knew he was strong, unfathomably strong!
"Shizuku, Shirou, Stella, are you all okay?" Just as Stella and Shizuku were immersed in Shirou's immense strength, Ikki's voice suddenly came from the side.
"Brother!" Seeing Ikki's dusty expression, Shizuku quickly pounced into his arms, whining, "Brother, you're too late!"
"Sorry, Shirou's speed is just too fast; I couldn't keep up with him at all!" Ikki explained his predicament helplessly, stroking Shizuku's head apologetically.
"That means you still have a lot to train for, Ikki!"
Looking at the helpless Ikki, Shirou patted his shoulder with a smile.
"Please don't say that. With your speed, no matter how much I train, it probably wouldn't help!" Just thinking about Shirou's ghost-like speed, Ikki felt a deep sense of helplessness. That kind of speed, even if he activated Ittou Shura, he probably couldn't reach. This meant that Shirou could calmly deal with him even if he used Ittou Shura? That would be too bad! Thinking this, Ikki once again felt his future turn dark. After all, an opponent like Shirou was truly terrifying; he was not someone he could catch up to in a short time. But in these three years, as someone on the same level as him, he would probably be the opponent he had to face in the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival for the next three years! What a dim future.
Although that was the case, Shirou's existence also made him happy. Because, it was truly wonderful to have a goal in front of him!
"Stella-kun, Shizuku-kun, are you two alright?"
"Huh? Emiya-kun and Kurone-kun are here too!" Hearing the familiar voices, everyone turned around and saw a blonde girl and a white-haired boy slowly walking towards them.
"Touka-senpai, Foobar-senpai, why are you here?" Stella asked in confusion, looking at the two who suddenly appeared.
"Of course, for your safety, Stella-kun! As soon as I heard you were sick, Touka quickly rushed back and asked me to bring her to find you all."
"Asked Foobar-senpai to bring her to find us? Is it because of Foobar-senpai's ability?"
"That's right!" Looking at the confused group, Mibuchi Foobar smiled and said, "My Noble Art, Absolute Uncertainty, is an ability to manipulate the outcome of events."
"It's actually an Acausality-Interference type ability."
Hearing Mibuchi Foobar's explanation, Ikki said in surprise.
"Exactly right." Mibuchi Foobar nodded, confirming Ikki's answer. Blazer abilities existed in several systems. For example, Ikki's Ittou Shura belonged to the Physical Enhancement system. Stella's Flame Manipulation belonged to the Nature Interference system. Then there was Ayase's Rending Wounds and Shirou's true ability, Severance, which belonged to the Concept Interference system. And among the many diverse abilities of Blazers, the rarest and widely recognized strongest ability system was the Acausality-Interference system.
"Through my Noble Art, Absolute Uncertainty, any attack directed at me will fail. Even if any of you are severely injured, I can change the outcome to 'never having been injured' to heal." Hearing the example Mibuchi Foobar gave, Stella said in surprise, "Then Senpai is practically invincible, aren't you?"
"There's no such thing as an invincible existence just by virtue of their ability!" Mibuchi Foobar said helplessly, "My Absolute Uncertainty can only manipulate outcomes that already exist. In other words, as long as there's a one percent chance of something happening, I can definitely make it happen. Conversely, if the outcome doesn't exist at all, meaning if I can't achieve it with my own abilities, then my ability will be completely ineffective. I can turn a one percent possibility into one hundred percent, but I cannot turn zero into one."
"Speaking of which, you all can smash rocks with swords; it looks completely like a battle manga, utterly defying common sense. This might be normal for you, but how could ordinary people possibly do that? Let alone a lovable and delicate boy like me; it's impossible."
"I never knew this ability had such a weakness." After hearing Mibuchi Foobar's explanation, Stella showed an expression of understanding.
"Of course, if I could truly manipulate everything, I would have already participated in the representative battles. The outcomes that Absolute Uncertainty can manipulate are limited to things that have even a glimmer of possibility. To put it bluntly, if my ability encounters an opponent it can't win against, it absolutely won't win." Furthermore, Foobar's physical body was weaker than an average person's, leading to an even broader range of impossibilities. Foobar had this self-awareness, which was why he didn't participate in the Seven Stars Sword Dance Festival selection battles.
"Ultimately, it still comes down to the Blazer's fundamental strength. If Mibuchi Foobar-senpai had the magic power of Stella or even Touka-senpai, or the physique and technique of Ikki, then he would probably be the strongest existence in Hagun Academy!"
Shirou, who had already known about Mibuchi Foobar's existence beforehand, was naturally not surprised, as he had already acquired this ability. However, this ability was not that important to him. In this world, the only ones who could fight him were top-tier beings. And those beings were all Demon Lords. Because Demon Lords had transcended their own destinies, the Acausality-Interference system had little effect on them.
Therefore, this weapon could only serve a defensive purpose in this world. As for other worlds? Who knew if an Acausality-Interference ability would still work in other worlds!
