"May the blessing of the great water come to where you ask, and let a cool, shallow stream appear here - waterball!"
After trying more than ten times, Shirou finally managed to release a water magic.
A water ball the size of a fist appeared in Shirou's hand, but it quickly vanished and fell to the ground, turning into splashes of water.
"How was it?"
Shirou looked at Roxy.
As expected, Roxy's face showed disappointment.
"Your talent is very average, and your magic accuracy is worse than most people. Shirou, you may really not have a talent for magic."
Roxy was helpless, but she made a judgment based on her identity as a magician.
Not to mention compared to Rudeus, Shirou's talent is quite bad even compared to ordinary human mages. It can be said that he has no talent at all.
This undoubtedly proved Roxy's previous misjudgment. She misjudged Shirou's talent. He didn't have the talent to be a magician.
This made Roxy feel a little embarrassed.
She had just confidently asked Shirou to come and learn magic, but the result was that she herself was wrong, giving Shirou a bad experience for nothing...
Roxy showed a clear expression of guilt.
On the other hand, seeing Roxy's helpless and sad expression, Shirou comforted her, "It can't be helped. People have different talents after all. It's okay if I'm not good at magic. I can put all my energy into swordsmanship instead."
"That's... indeed so."
Roxy nodded after hearing Shirou's comfort.
Shirou then helped Roxy and Rudeus clean up the area, and then went back to the house to prepare lunch.
"Your older brother is very special."
Roxy looked at Shirou's departing figure, never thinking that a child would behave so freely.
Normally, when people find out they don't have a talent for magic, they will be somewhat disappointed, and even feel inferior inside.
However, Shirou never showed such a thing from beginning to end, and naturally accepted the fact that he was not good at magic.
This young child seemed as mature as a reliable adult, and would not be shaken by anything outside.
"Yeah, Big Brother Shirou is the best!"
Hearing Roxy praise Shirou, Rudeus immediately showed a happy smile.
After the previous fire incident, Rudeus was full of admiration for Shirou, regarding him as a true older brother and a role model for himself.
Shirou receiving praise from others was like receiving praise himself.
"This..."
Seeing Rudeus's recognition of Shirou, Roxy suddenly became a little suspicious.
After all, she herself had not felt that Shirou had anything outstanding.
If her feelings just now were just an illusion, and Shirou didn't have a talent for magic, then he was just a boy who seemed a little more mature than his peers.
Rudeus, as a child who could cast chantless magic from an early age, was clearly much more talented than Shirou.
And Shirou's maturity and calmness may just be a simple disguise. He seems like this on the surface, but actually has inner turmoil and ups and downs.
The more Roxy analyzed it, the more she felt that this was the case, so she completely lost interest in Shirou and began to focus her attention on teaching Rudeus magic.
…
Although today was Shirou's day to cook, there was still some time before lunch, so he didn't need to start preparing so early.
If the food is cooked too early, it will not only cool down easily, but also lose its flavor.
As a professional cook, Shirou would naturally not make such a mistake.
"So, what should I do now?"
Shirou glanced at the wooden sword placed next to the living room.
Since the fire, his swordsmanship training has completely slowed down, not only because the injuries he suffered in the fire have not fully recovered, constantly affecting his actions, but also because in the fire, Shirou over-synchronized with the soul of Servant Emiya and was too affected.
If he tries to use swordsmanship now, he will almost instinctively shift to Servant Emiya's swordsmanship, causing Sword God Style's swordsmanship foundation to be disrupted.
This is also why Shirou was so cold to Roxy just now in a way.
If he studies magic too much in front of Roxy, he might unconsciously use the power of Servant Emiya, and no one knows what will happen.
Therefore, in order to solve the problem of Servant Emiya's influence being too deep, Shirou has been trying to study Servant Emiya's abilities recently.
He believes that only when he fully masters all the power of Servant Emiya, and lets the power of Servant Emiya become his own power, can he control this power, instead of being unilaterally influenced by Servant Emiya, so that he eventually becomes a copy of Servant Emiya.
"It seems I should continue to study magic."
Shirou quickly returned to his room and took out a thick notebook from the drawer.
This was a notebook he asked Zenith to buy some time ago, along with a pen that was rare in this era, for him to copy.
After preparing the paper and pen, Shirou began to write down all the techniques mastered by Servant Emiya in the notebook.
"Projection Magic - a magic that uses magic power to materialize the images and imitations of real objects. Because it is formed by magic power, it cannot be materialized for a long time."
"Servant Emiya has the ability to turn projected creations into reality, but only for weapon-related armaments."
"List of weapons that can be projected: Kanshou and Byakuya, Fake Spiral Sword, Caladbolg, Aegis, Rho Aias..."
"Unlimited Blade Works - the unique bounded field possessed by Servant Emiya. The bounded field contains the elements that form all swords. Within a certain period of time, it rewrites reality into a mental world. All weapons that the caster has seen and can recognize, and weapons that have been used in this place can be instantly copied and saved. But there is an upper limit to the copied weapons. If the weapon is too powerful, it cannot be copied."
"Note: Once a weapon is projected, Servant Emiya can also copy the abilities and martial arts skills possessed by the weapon's original owner."
"Unlimited Blade Works chant: ..."
Looking at the techniques about Servant Emiya that he had recorded, Shirou slowly let out a breath.
During the time when he couldn't train swordsmanship, he spent almost every day organizing the magic possessed by Servant Emiya and trying to copy those magics.
The result was not pleasing. Perhaps Shirou's body was too young, or perhaps there was a decisive difference between him and Servant Emiya. Shirou always had certain problems with the use of Projection Magic, and he couldn't use it instinctively like Reinforcement Magic. Not to mention Servant Emiya's strongest ability - Unlimited Blade Works.
As a result, Shirou felt that he should indeed study the magic of this world, and use the power of magic to make up for his lack of magic talent.
