"Clang!" The sound of swords clashing resounded again; such sounds had been echoing nearby for a long ti.
Ever since the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival representative selection battle ended, Shirou had temporarily left Hagun Academy and co here to engage in continuous combat with Edelweiss. The current Shirou and Edelweiss were no longer just ordinary master-disciple relationships in patisserie, but a more intimate master-disciple relationship. The reason for this was that Shirou told Edelweiss about his identity as a ti traveler. As for why he chose to tell her? Besides trusting her, it was also because Shirou simply couldn't find a reason to lie.
For Edelweiss at this ti, wherever Shirou went, she was willing to accompany him. This led to Shirou being able to deceive Stella and the others with the sa excuse, but not Edelweiss. After all, Edelweiss was different from them. Edelweiss had no attachnts. Even before Shirou, she didn't even have anyone to chat with regularly. Therefore, after eting Shirou, a satisfactory companion, she didn't want to leave his side. So much so that Shirou had no choice but to tell her his identity. And he told her his past stories.
"Clang!" Another clash. After their attacks intersected, Shirou, who had retreated, clenched his hand and couldn't help but smile. "My basic ability values have finally reached their limit. It really took a lot of effort."
"So, Master is leaving now?" Edelweiss, retracting her sword, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Don't worry about , Edelweiss, I won't be in danger."
Noticing the worry in Edelweiss's eyes, Shirou couldn't help but reach out his right hand and stroke her face.
"I will definitely co back! I promise you!"
"Yes, I believe Master's promise!"

Sitting on the bus, looking at the rapidly receding scenery outside the window, Shirou, who was on his way to Kyomon Academy, looked at the back of his left hand and couldn't help but chuckle. "Seriously, you even made sign a contract. How afraid are you that I won't co back?!" On the back of Shirou's left hand, a pattern of two intersecting longswords was imprinted. That was a mark left by Edelweiss's ability. The reason Edelweiss was called the world's strongest swordsman, besides her swordsmanship, was also because her ability had no destructive power. Her ability had no use in combat.
Edelweiss's ability was Contract. Before parting with Edelweiss, the two made several contracts.
"Don't die!"
"You must co back!"
"I will always wait for you!" As a mark of the contract, an imprint in the shape of Edelweiss's twin swords was carved onto the back of Shirou's hand. This was the witness to their contract.
"Seriously, can't you have a little more trust in ?"
Although Shirou kept complaining as he looked at the back of his hand, the corners of his mouth kept curving upwards, revealing feelings of joy. It felt good to be cared for!

Yamagata. Looking at the training camp in front of him, Shirou walked in with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.
"Is that...?"
"Hagun Academy's Copying Swordsman, Shirou?"
"Why is he here? Didn't they say he wouldn't co?"
Before Shirou even entered the Yamagata training ground, students from Kyomon Academy recognized him.
As the recognized number one in all of Hagun Academy after Raii Touka Toudou, Shirou's na was naturally well-known among students from other academies. After all, he was a candidate for the Seven Stars Sword King.
Even if he hadn't directly defeated Raii Touka Toudou, all students at Hagun Academy believed that he was Hagun's strongest. Even Ikki, the leader of Hagun Academy's delegation, thought so.
As for why Ikki was the leader of the delegation and not Shirou? That was, of course, because Shirou refused the position of leader. After all, Shirou was about to leave the "Failed Knight" world, and he had no idea when he would return. It was also unclear if he could participate in the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival. In such a situation, how could he have the face to accept the title of leader? So, after Shirou inford Kurono Shinguuji of his situation, the title of delegation leader fell to Ikki.
After all, among the six selected to represent Hagun Academy in the Seven Stars Sword-Art Festival this ti, besides Shirou, Ikki was the most outstanding. At the sa ti, he was also the strongest person besides Shirou.
"Emiya-kun, may we interview you?" After the surrounding students recognized Shirou's identity, two student reporters from the vicinity imdiately ran up to Shirou to interview him.
"Of course, but in return, can the two of you take to Hagun Academy's training grounds?"
"That's great! We happen to know where Hagun Academy is training."
"In that case, let's talk as we walk!" Led by the male and female student reporters, Shirou and the two walked towards Hagun Academy's training grounds. Along the way, through mutual introductions, Shirou also learned their identities. The girl was Hachikami-kun from Bukyoku Academy's newspaper club, and the boy was Komiyama-kun from Tanrou Academy's newspaper club.
"Emiya-kun, the students from Hagun Academy said you wouldn't be coming here for the training camp because you had sothing to do. So, may I ask why you've co today?"
"I did have sothing to do before, but now that it's done, and I see their training camp hasn't ended yet, I thought I'd co join the fun."
"I heard that Ikki-kun from your school defeated all the professional knights who ca to teach in just three days. And now Kyomon Academy has even invited the God of War to provide guidance. Did you co for the God of War-senpai, Emiya-kun?"
"God of War-senpai is here too? That's quite surprising! But no! I didn't know God of War-senpai would be here before." Just like that, amidst the conversation of the three, they soon arrived at Hagun Academy's training ground. However, their timing was perfect. At this mont, Ikki was facing off against the God of War, Nango. The two stood on opposite sides, unmoving, quietly looking at each other.
"Brother!" Just as Shirou arrived, Stella also noticed his figure. She instantly ran to Shirou and jumped into his
arms.
"Brother, why are you here?!"
"Didn't I say I'd co see you if I finished early?" Shirou, being hugged by Stella, could barely breathe. With Stella's chest pressed against his face, he struggled continuously. The reason for this was that when Stella jumped, she wrapped one arm around Shirou's neck and her legs around his waist. She was hanging on him, excitedly shaking him.
"Hey, Stella, I think if you don't let go, Shirou might be sent off right here!" Nagi Arisu and Shizuku, who were originally standing beside Stella, now walked over to the two. Looking at Shirou waving his hands, the two said helplessly.
"Huh!" Only then did Stella realize Shirou's discomfort and quickly jumped down. Then, looking at Shirou who had fallen to the ground, she shouted, "Don't die, Brother!"
