After breakfast, Shirou walked slowly down the sidewalk leading to the school.
"Now that the world line has changed, does that mean that things will happen differently after this?"
Shirou thought with a frown.
"No... Not necessarily. If I don't keep up when school is over, maybe Tohsaka Rin will still have an accident."
Shirou, who had already experienced the incident once, would never allow such a thing to happen again.
"Anyway, let's find a way to lure her out of there when the time comes."
In fact, Shirou could choose to turn a blind eye so that he would not fall into a crisis at all.
But if he really did that, what was the point of Shirou's life as a transmigrator?
"Holy Grail War..."
Not participating would only result in most of the people of Fuyuki City being affected by the Holy Grail, and if he participated, he would be putting himself in danger.
However, after dying for the second time, Shirou understood.
It's useless to run away!
If you want to protect the people you want to protect, you can only put yourself in danger, become stronger, kill, and fight.
As long as it was for the people he wanted to protect, it didn't matter how many people he killed next.
The corners of Shirou's mouth curled up slightly as he felt he had figured something out. He showed a relieved smile and then accelerated his pace without any pause.
"I'm coming!"
At this moment, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the warmth was just right.
The snow on the roads to the left and right had begun to melt in the sun.
Shirou suddenly felt that the temperature of the sun was no longer cold, but warm.
Then, Shirou, noticing that the back of his hand was starting to heat up, looked down with some confusion.
He saw that on the back of his right hand, a scarlet pattern with the motif of a "sword" and "sheath" began to appear and take shape!
"Is this... the Command Spell?"
The "Command Spell" is a crystallized magic that appears on the back of the hand.
It possesses absolute command power that Servants must obey; it is the exclusive seal of a Master.
The appearance of the Holy Grail will give the magi who become Masters some omen, which is a mark like a stigma.
The Command Spell is derived from this.
The moment the Command Spell appeared, Shirou immediately heard a prompt from the system.
[The host has received the Command Spell. Because your current combat power is too low, you will be given a chance to draw a lottery!]
"Lottery!?"
Shirou's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted inwardly.
"In that case, let's turn it on!"
The next moment, a pale blue window appeared in front of Shirou, showing a roulette wheel divided into twelve areas. Each area showed twelve abilities or items from different worlds.
"Perfect Creature Bloodline" from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from Yu-Gi-Oh.
Or the "Sharingan" from Naruto, and the Imperial Arms from Akame ga Kill!.
There was even "Alchemy" from Fullmetal Alchemist, "Sun Breathing" from Demon Slayer, and so on.
Shirou glanced at it briefly, feeling a little excited.
Although there were also weak abilities, most of them were still good things that could improve his strength at this stage.
Then, the wheel began to spin. As time passed, the speed of the wheel became faster and faster, to the point that Shirou could not distinguish the items with the naked eye.
"Stop!"
Shirou hurriedly shouted inwardly.
At the same time, Shirou's breathing began to become rapid, and he stared at the roulette wheel in front of him.
One ability after another that he coveted was skimmed over, and Shirou's heart seemed about to stop.
As the speed of the roulette wheel got slower and slower, it reached a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally, it was close to skipping an ability.
That was the "Perfect Creature Bloodline"!
"This isn't bad. At least I don't have to worry about being killed so easily. If my body is strong enough, the Servant can also focus on the battle and not be distracted trying to protect me."
As Shirou was analyzing, the pointer skipped this ability as if it were teasing him, jumping to the next one.
That ability was———— "Unlimited Blade Works".
"Ah...?"
Shirou was a little stunned when he saw this ability.
In the next moment, Shirou felt his body begin to heat up; it became hotter and hotter.
Just when Shirou was about to lose consciousness, the scene of the street covered with ice and snow in front of him changed in an instant!
He saw an endless desert. The boundless wilderness was empty, and the gentle breeze stirred Shirou's brown-red hair, but no dust flew.
The white clouds in the sky were constantly changing as if time was passing quickly. The orange sunlight reflected off the clouds, and beams of light passing through seemed to float with light particles.
The illusion lasted only half a minute. While Shirou was somewhat absorbed in the world, the scene before his eyes changed back to the street covered in snow and ice.
Shirou, who stopped in the middle of the road, was still immersed in the wasteland he had just seen. The world seemed to merge with him, making Shirou feel extremely peaceful and relaxed just by being in it.
"Unlimited Blade Works... But there don't seem to be any swords... Is it because nothing has been copied and stored in it yet..."
Shirou muttered.
The moment he obtained "Unlimited Blade Works," Shirou could clearly feel that his originally small amount of magic power was suddenly stuffed full.
All 27 Magic Circuits were opened in an instant!
There was also more knowledge about "Reinforcement" and "Projection" in his mind.
And the most important thing was the method to use "Unlimited Blade Works," a Reality Marble!
"Everything is ready. All that is needed now is the summoning ritual."
Shirou, who had a plan in mind, walked into the school with firm steps.
After a boring day at school, Shirou went to find Tohsaka Rin immediately after classes ended. He found that she suddenly hurried while walking, and instead of taking her fixed route, she went straight home by car.
"It seems that this world line is different from before..."
Thinking this, Shirou didn't continue to tail her but began to prepare the materials needed for the summoning ritual.
...
Dusk faded, night fell, and the bright moon shone with silver light.
While his parents were asleep, Shirou went to an open space outside an abandoned factory and took the materials out of the backpack he was carrying.
"Whew... Fortunately, I saved some pocket money before, and I finally got it all together."
At this moment, it was midnight, and a cold wind was blowing, causing Shirou to tighten his beige scarf.
"Hurry up and start, or it won't be good if I'm seen."
Shirou didn't want to kill people casually, otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to perform the ritual summoning in the dead of night.
Then, Shirou began to draw the magic circle; the process had been rehearsed many times in his mind.
In the clearing, he drew the four formations of silver and iron to form a summoning array.
"Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Fill. Recite it five times in a row, but when each is filled, destroy it."
While chanting the incantation, Shirou carefully sprinkled the chicken blood on the ground.
Then, Shirou raised his right arm.
"I hereby declare————"
