Shirou, possessing countless armants, rarely encountered an unassailable opponent. After all, no matter what kind of opponent, he could generally find corresponding ans. This was also true for Gilgash, the King of Heroes. Although his strongest weapons were the Noble Phantasms Ea (Enuma Elish) and Chains of Heaven (Enkidu), the highly versatile Gate of Babylon was his true cornerstone ability.
After all, among countless Heroic Spirits, those who could rival those two Noble Phantasms were not non-existent. But only the countless Noble Phantasms within the Gate of Babylon were truly unrivaled. (And then Shirou becos their natural counter!)
For enemies with strong defense, he used armor-piercing armants.
For enemies with rapid recovery, he used armants that prevented recovery.
For enemies with tough magical armor, he used magic-breaking armants.
In short, no matter what kind of enemy, he could find ways to counter them through the infinite swords within Unlimited Blade Works. For example, now.
"Senpai seems to be a Blazer who specializes in ability enhancent, so you don't have an advantage in stamina, do you?"
"That's right, after all, your Noble Art, Sword of the Stars, besides attacking, is also the best defense if you distribute the blades around your body!"
"But your controllable range isn't very far, if I recall correctly!" Leaping back, moving out of the opponent's potential attack range, Shirou made a gesture, and the black spirit bow Oborozuki appeared before him.
"Planning to use Kirihara Shizuya's Hunter's Forest?"
"I won't just sit here and take it!" Kisaragi Kanata imdiately summoned her Noble Phantasm. It was a thin, transparent rapier, like a delicate piece of glass art.
As the referee announced the start of the match, Kisaragi Kanata held the sword horizontally across her chest with one hand, then placed her left palm against the tip of the blade, slowly piercing it. With this action, the rapier in Kisaragi Kanata's hand didn't pierce her palm; instead, it seed to be crushed by her palm, transforming into countless fragnts that rged into the air. This was her Noble Art, Sword of the Stars.
Looking at the motionless Kisaragi Kanata, Shirou knew that this was just a superficial calm. In the unseen depths, her Sword of the Stars had probably already ford a defense around her body. After all, Shirou was far away from her at this mont, outside her attack range. Therefore, until she determined Shirou's attack thods, she could only passively defend. This was indeed a wise approach, but the premise of this approach was that her Sword of the Stars could defend against Shirou's attacks.
"Senpai, are you already prepared? Then it should be my turn now!" As Shirou raised his other empty hand, a familiar katana to Kisaragi Kanata appeared in his hand.
"Is that sword Touka's Narukami?" Hearing Kisaragi Kanata's affirmative question, Shirou smiled and said, "Naturally, it's Toudou Touka-senpai's Narukami. This is what I gained from observing her match before."
"A Noble Phantasm that can control lightning power; it's impossible for my collection to not have it!" Raising the spirit bow Oborozuki and aiming it at Kisaragi Kanata, Shirou, in the eyes of all the spectators in Training Ground Seven, actually placed the Noble Phantasm Narukami onto the spirit bow Oborozuki as an arrow.
Just as people were about to mock Shirou for grandstanding, under the flow of magic, the Narukami in his hand actually transford into the shape of an arrow. Then, Shirou drew the bowstring taut with the arrow notched. The next mont, golden lightning continuously flashed on this spirit bow.
"Actually, I'm more like a warrior than a swordsman, and I'm better at archery than swordsmanship!"
"An Iaijutsu strike propelled by electromagnetic force is called 'Raikiri.' So what do you call an arrow shot using electromagnetic force?"
"A Railgun?" As soon as the words left his mouth, Shirou's finger released the string. Then, a golden flash of light streaked across Training Ground Seven, breaking through the training ground wall and ascending into the sky. All that remained was Kisaragi Kanata, whose parasol was completely shattered and whose face was scratched, standing dumbfounded on the field. The defense she had set up with Sword of the Stars was completely shattered.
"Senpai, you must have noticed, I intentionally shot wide!" After all, in a real combat scenario, Kisaragi Kanata, if she had taken that full blow, would absolutely not have survived. Not even with a life capsule. Feeling the blades on the ground, which had been swept by the lightning and turned into fragnts, Kisaragi Kanata said with a bitter smile, "I surrender!" Then she fainted.
After all, when a Noble Phantasm, which is the wielder's soul materialized as a weapon, is destroyed, the Blazer themselves will faint.
"F-flash! With Student Shirou's lightning strike, Student Kisaragi Kanata was directly defeated! Even the wall of our Training Ground Seven was shattered!" Looking at the enormous hole on one side of Training Ground Seven, the entire audience in the training ground fell silent. But after a mont of silence, an even greater roar of cheers erupted.
"Copy Swordsman, Shirou, Hagun's strongest!"
"Copy Swordsman, Shirou, Hagun's strongest!"
"Copy Swordsman, Shirou, Hagun's strongest!"
On the stage, in the spotlight, Shirou raised his right hand high, then slowly exited. After all, he had promised earlier that he would go watch Shizuku's duel, and he would arrive there on ti. After all, Shirou was a man of his word.

"Ah, it seems I've arrived just in ti!" When Shirou arrived at the training ground where Shizuku's match was taking place, Shizuku was currently being suppressed by Toudou Touka, completely unable to counterattack. Under Toudou Touka's peculiar footwork, Shizuku only managed to react after Toudou Touka got close to her each ti. As a result, with just a few swings from Toudou Touka, Shizuku was already heavily wounded.
"A Chokusoku (drawing foot)!" With that move, Shizuku can't respond! From the mont he entered, Shirou, with his sharp gaze, found Ikki and the others and said softly beside the three worried individuals.
"Big brother!"
"Shirou?"
"This is too fast!" Hearing Shirou's voice, Stella and the others, who had been worried, suddenly stood up in surprise. Although they all knew Shirou was strong, wasn't this victory too quick?! Hadn't the match just started? Shirou's side was already over? Kisaragi Kanata was defeated just like that? She was the second-ranked strongest person in Hagun Academy! As for whether Shirou had lost, Stella and the others wouldn't even consider it. After all, in their eyes, Shirou would absolutely not lose to Kisaragi Kanata. They still vividly rembered the Unlimited Blade Works displayed before them that day!
"Haha, not bad, a small victory!"
"If that's a small victory, then what would you call a big victory?" Shirou turned around to see Chairman Kurono Shinguuji standing behind him, lighting a cigarette.
"Chairman, you're here too? I thought you'd be over there taking care of things?"
"Whose fault do you think that was?" Rembering the massive hole in Training Ground Seven, Kurono Shinguuji's eye twitched involuntarily. Taking a deep drag from his cigarette, Kurono Shinguuji calmly said, "Like you, I'm also very interested in this battle here, so I ca to see it! As for the other matter, we'll talk about it later!"
