Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

"You...huh? You are..."

When he saw the unusually tall figure, Emiya Shirou's originally vigilant movements suddenly relaxed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Long time no see. I remember Kiritsugu named you Shirou Emiya, right? I didn't expect you to still remember me. I hugged you when I was a child." Zheng Shu walked from the street next to him with a smile on his hands behind his back. He wandered out.

"Mr. Zheng Shu... I haven't seen you for a long time." Shirou Emiya bowed to Zheng Shu with great respect, "Father often talks about you, thinking that you have returned to Fuyuki."

"Master, be careful, I can feel that the other party is a servant."

Jekyll has no intention of relaxing at all. Now he cannot rule out the possibility that the person in front of him is disguised. It takes a certain amount of time to use his Noble Phantasm. If the enemy suddenly attacks, he may not be able to protect his Master. .

"Huh?!" Emiya Shirou was shocked.

"Oh, Kiritsugu didn't tell you? I am the winner of the last Holy Grail War, and I am also the servant summoned in the last Holy Grail War." Zheng Shu raised his arm and showed off his muscles without caring. , "Still, Shirou, do you really think that someone with a physique like mine can exist among modern humans?"

"Why is this like this..." Shirou Emiya took a few steps back in surprise, "Are you saying that both my father and Mr. Zheng Shu are the kind of people who care about human life?"

At this moment, Emiya Shirou felt that his world was about to collapse, as if all the light around him disappeared in an instant.

"Ah? What are you talking about? Isn't your brain burned out because of fatigue?"

Contrary to their expectations, Zheng Shu's reaction was completely unlike his expression after being exposed.

Zheng Shu looked at the confused expressions on their faces, snorted disdainfully, put his hands on his hips, and looked proud:

"Don't think that everyone is acting like a layman in the Holy Grail War. My Holy Grail War basically followed the principle of reducing harm to innocent people. Among the seven Masters, only the two perverts from Group C killed people. Make things crazy, and the rest of the people will obediently fight in a deserted place under my fist."

"Huh?" Emiya Shirou and Jekyll had questions on their faces.

"Don't believe it? Ask her. As the managers of Fuyuki City's underground spiritual veins, the Tohsaka family naturally knows what happened during the Holy Grail War."

Zheng Shu reached out and fished it out from the wall next to him, and took out Tohsaka Rin, who was eavesdropping with his ears raised.

"Huh? Huh?! Huh!!!" Rin Tosaka was suddenly pulled from his hiding place to the surface. Rin Tosaka was caught off guard and his face turned red. "What are you doing?!"

"I want to ask you what you are doing. You don't go to recuperate even though you are still seriously injured, but you follow me out secretly."

Zheng Shu narrowed her eyes and bent down to get close to Tosaka Rin. Her huge size gave her a great sense of oppression: "Could it be that... you are worried that I will bully your lover?"

"What are you talking about?! What... nonsense!" Tohsaka Rin's originally red face suddenly became even redder, and his whole person became incoherent.

"Oh, didn't you refute the title of lover?"

Looking at Tohsaka Rin who was jumping angrily next to him, Zheng Shu touched his chin with a playful smile, and took a look at the sudden fluctuation in the air next to him.

Hmm... Red A is also coming. These two people are really worrying.

After struggling for a long time, the group finally calmed down and continued talking in another park.

"So, the reason why you summoned the Servant was a complete accident. I didn't expect that you could summon the Servant without anyone's guidance. It's not just a matter of compatibility. Your kid's magic aptitude is quite good."

Zheng Shu looked at Shirou Emiya up and down, then turned to look at Jekyll: "You are considered special enough for your rank as a Berserker, but according to what I have observed, your combat effectiveness after transformation is pretty good. That's pretty good. The only drawback is that in your 'Jekyll' state, you probably have no fighting ability at all, right?"

Jekyll smiled bitterly, said nothing, and just nodded in agreement with Zheng Shu's conjecture.

"Jekyll is my servant and the teacher who guided me into magic." Emiya Shirou took a step forward to protect his servant.

"Little guy, I'm not looking down on him. Being able to achieve such an achievement as a human being is amazing enough even if his life is a fake novel." Zheng Shu smiled.

"I just think you two guys are really brave. You dared to break into a temple-level magic workshop without any preparation, and you were able to escape unscathed. It seems that the owner of the magic workshop didn't want to Take your life."

"Temple level?"

"Yes, at the temple level, the basic sign is that you can completely control the space inside the magic workshop. According to the strength of the two of you, if the enemy really wants to keep you, you should not be able to escape, so the other party should just come to you. I just taught you a little lesson and then let you go." Zheng Shu explained carefully.

He knew very well that if he didn't explain this matter clearly, these two stubborn guys would definitely find an opportunity to attack the church again.

Based on his understanding of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, when faced with a like-minded person like Emiya Shirou, Emiya Shirou should not take his life as long as he did not block his path.

But Zheng Shu was a little unsure about the servant he summoned, Semiramis.

Although in the original work, the woman was quite dependent on Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, you must know that she was also an empress who once controlled an entire country. No matter how dependent she was on someone, if it was concluded that getting rid of Shirou Emiya would lead to more success. If the interests are good, he will definitely take action without hesitation.

Rather than struggling to save them then, it would be better to explain these things clearly now.

"Is that so..." Emiya Shirou lowered his head feebly. At this moment, the conflict between ideals and reality made him feel a little confused.

"Okay, we have explained your question, now it's your turn to answer our question." Zheng Shu pulled Tohsaka Rin, who had been staring at Shirou Emiya from just now, over, "You You should have questions to ask him, so let’s take this opportunity to ask them.”

Tohsaka Rin was dissatisfied with Zheng Shu's attitude towards treating her like a child, but after seeing Shirou Emiya in front of her, she temporarily put down her pursuit of the matter and looked at him angrily.

"Excuse me, did I do something wrong?" Shirou Emiya felt confused in Tohsaka Rin's angry gaze.

Naturally, he knew Tohsaka Rin, a popular person in the school, but Emiya Shirou thought that the other party would not recognize him.

And although Tohsaka Rin's eyes are full of anger now, but... how should I put it, maybe the emotion in his eyes is also mixed with some resentment?

Emiya Shirou was a little unsure, but then he realized that his feeling was correct, because Jekyll had quietly touched his side.

"Master...could it be that you started in chaos and finally gave up?"

"Why do you think so?"

"Of course it's because of the look in this little girl's eyes. Master, let me say something. Although I look very young, I am still quite old. As a person who has experienced this, I advise you to be more loyal in your relationships. Better."

"So why do you all have such misunderstandings?!" It was not Emiya Shirou who said this, but the somewhat irritable Tohsaka Rin.

"Ahem, yes, Mr. Jekyll, let young people handle their own affairs. I heard that you have quite high attainments in pharmacy. Can you ask me some questions?" Zheng Shu jumped out immediately. smooth things over.

"Ahem! Of course it's no problem. I'm honored to be able to discuss it with a hero like you." Jekyll also said seriously.

The two of them walked away in a tacit understanding, leaving enough space for the two young people staying here.

Before leaving, Zheng Shu grabbed a handful of air, used his huge magic power to imprison Red A, who had transformed into a spirit child, and dragged him away reluctantly.

With his eyes staring at the two people walking away, Tohsaka Rin turned to look at Emiya Shirou again.

In fact, Tohsaka Rin has been attracted to Emiya Shirou for a long time, but she did not pursue him out of reserve.

So when she learned from Mizu Ayako that Emiya Shirou was probably the one who set up the barrier in the school, she felt betrayed.

Coupled with Karna's ambush later, Tohsaka Rin felt that she had always liked the wrong person, so her eyes were so complicated.

However, after being teased by Zheng Shu and the others, she calmed down a little. After thinking about it briefly, she found that according to Zheng Shu's character, if Emiya Shirou was really the one who set up a barrier in the school, he would not behave like this. easy.

Therefore, after realizing that he might have misunderstood the other party, Tohsaka Rin suddenly became awkward again.

"that……"

"I'll ask first!" Tohsaka Rin interrupted what Emiya Shirou wanted to say.

She took a deep breath to calm her thoughts, raised her head with a blushing face, and stared into Emiya Shirou's eyes: "Let me ask you, was it you who set up the previous barrier in the school?"

"Barrier? Someone set up a barrier in the school?!"

Shirou Emiya was startled, and the scene of the barrier he had seen in the church before, as well as Jekyll's description of the barrier, immediately echoed in his mind.

He couldn't imagine how terrible the casualties would be if someone set up a barrier in the school that even caused such serious damage to Jekyll, who was so powerful after his transformation.

"Who set it up? What are the casualties?!" In desperation, Emiya Shirou grabbed Tohsaka Rin's shoulders.

"ah!"

Suddenly being touched by the person in front of him, Tohsaka Rin raised his hand reflexively due to excessive shyness, and immediately used the self-protection technique he had learned before, and easily threw Emiya Shirou over his shoulder. on the ground.

"Oh, tsk tsk, when did this little girl Rin become so violent? If these two get married in the future, Shirou will be in trouble."

Three heads appeared on a bush not far away, furtively watching the interaction between the two young people.

Seeing Emiya Shirou being thrown hard, Zheng Shu covered his eyes with a look that he couldn't bear to look at.

"Okay! That's a good fall. This guy should be thrown to death directly. He dares to touch the Master casually. I'll go over and kill him now!"

The one with a menacing tone was Red A who had already appeared. Before speaking, his hands had already manifested black and white daggers, and he was ready to go up and make a "love rival", but before he could escape from the bushes, he was pressed down by Zheng Shu.

"Oh... I didn't expect that women today would have such courage. It really opened my eyes." Jekyll also expressed his amazement.

"Sister is so cute..." This is Sakura.

Um? !

Jekyll was startled by the sudden appearance of Sakura Matou next to him, and he almost ran out: "Who?!"

"Oh, let me introduce you. This is Matou Sakura, the younger sister of Tohsaka Rin in the distance."

Compared to Jekyll's reaction, Zheng Shu and Red A's reactions were much duller, and Zheng Shu even enthusiastically helped to introduce them.

When Jekyll came to his senses, he suddenly discovered that not only was there Matou Sakura, but also a tall purple-haired woman who was lying on Zheng Shu's back.

"Don't be too surprised, we came together." Zheng Shu took the initiative to explain, "They have been following Rin Tohsaka."

"After all, it's really curious that my sister secretly went out in the middle of the night despite being so seriously injured. But I didn't expect that my sister actually went out to date a man?"

"Yes, before I knew it, that little girl had reached this age."

"That's enough for you!! Even if you want to talk about people, you have to stay away!"

Tohsaka Rin didn't care to help Emiya Shirou up, looked at the people behind him fiercely and let out a shocking roar.

Now that the parties concerned had expressed their dissatisfaction, the few people no longer "hided", but ran out of the grass openly and returned to Tohsaka Rin's side again.

Looking at the people beside him, Tohsaka Rin hesitated and hesitated again and again. In the end, all his words turned into a helpless sigh.

She always felt that the style of the people around her seemed to be going astray without even realizing it.

Zheng Shu smiled and touched her head, and looked at Emiya Shirou who had just gotten up from the ground: "Okay, don't be angry. Now that it's been verified that this little guy Shirou is not the culprit, shouldn't you be happy? , after all, I finally don’t have to worry anymore.”

"Who... who is worried about him?" Tohsaka Rin's face turned red again.

"Wow, classic tsundere, not bad." Zheng Shu gave a thumbs up in admiration.

He looked at Red A and found that he also had pride in his eyes.

In short, under Zheng Shu's gags and nonsense, the relationship between the few people immediately became much closer.

Zheng Shu raised his head and glanced at the sky, which was approaching late at night: "It's getting late, you should go back first. Since we have recognized each other, I will visit you again at your home tomorrow and talk about cooperation."

"cooperate?"

"We'll explain it in detail at that time. You can go back first."

After sending Emiya Shirou and the two away, Zheng Shu and Matou Sakura's expressions immediately became serious.

"He probably didn't do it. Judging from his aura, even the magic circuit was just connected in the past few days, so he shouldn't be able to make a barrier of that level." Matou Sakura watched the two people leave. ’s back, analyzed softly.

"Well, I know this little guy quite well. He shouldn't be able to do such a thing, so someone else set up the barrier." Zheng Shu nodded.

"But... this kind of behavior is unlikely to be something that the people from the Magicians Association can do." Matou Sakura was a little confused, "But if it weren't for them, who else could master such high-level magic skills? .”

The magicians in the Magicians Association are all scum morally speaking, but precisely because they are all villains who bully the weak and fear the strong, they dare not do this.

After all, the reason why the Law and Politics Department is so prestigious is because of the lives of those magicians who dare to violate the principle of secrecy.

So it is no exaggeration to say that the magicians who ran away from the Magicians Association are the most arrogant and the most rule-abiding people.

What's more, there is Amakusa Shiro Tokisada who is restraining him next to him. Although Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's ideas are too extreme, I have to admit that he is indeed a righteous person.

"Actually, it's not just magicians. There are also people who are good at magic among the summoned servants."

"A Servant... In other words, among the people who were ambushing that day, besides Lancer, was there another Servant? No, if there was another combatant nearby, the other party would definitely launch an attack together to be on the safe side. , so should he be Lancer's master?" Sakura Matou thought thoughtfully.

Zheng Shu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly a flash of light flashed through his mind: "No, why do we think Lancer is an accomplice of the guy who set up the barrier?"

"well?"

At this time, Zheng Shu finally understood why he felt a little strange. Through the power of the judge, he could sense that Lancer spent most of his time under the church, which meant that he was indeed an accomplice of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. .

This makes some sense. Whether it is because of Empress Semiramis's Noble Phantasm or Amakusa Shirou Tokisada's character, they will not cause trouble in the early stages of the Holy Grail War. They must be quietly accumulating strength and waiting. The Queen's Noble Phantasm is complete.

On the other hand, if such a bad incident suddenly occurred in the Holy Grail War that he supervised, even if it was just to put on a show for those in the Magician Association, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada would definitely send someone to investigate who set up the scheme in the school. Enchantment.

During this process, the two groups of investigators collided, and they naturally believed that the other party was the culprit.

Zheng Shu's eyes lit up: "That's it... the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins."

"What?" Tohsaka Rin was a little confused.

"Let me ask, did you see you clearing the barrier when Lancer appeared?" Zheng Shu turned to look at Red A.

Faced with the sudden question, Red A frowned, thought about it carefully, and shook his head hesitantly.

"Probably not. That guy doesn't seem like someone who would hide his aura when approaching, and his class is not Assassin. If he wants to hide his aura, he can't hide it from me."

"That is to say...there is someone else behind this incident." Zheng Shu nodded.

"What's the meaning?"

Looking at the three pairs of confused eyes, Zheng Shu slightly shortened his inference and explained it to them.

"I see, that means the target on the opposite side was not an 'ambush' from the beginning, but a fight?" Tohsaka Rin looked solemn, "But how can the person who arranged the barrier be sure that I will take the bait?"

"No, he doesn't need to be sure that you will take the bait. He is targeting everyone who wants to maintain 'order'." Zheng Shu showed a dangerous smile.

"For the mastermind behind the scenes, he doesn't need to specifically target anyone. He just needs to ensure that enough Masters are aware of the existence of the barrier. No matter whether the Master who discovers the existence of the barrier chooses to break it, World, or continues to hide behind the scenes, he will eventually be able to make this Holy Grail War even more chaotic."

Zheng Shu turned to look at Tohsaka Rin:

"After all, you and the church are the two managers of Fuyuki City. You will definitely not let this barrier continue to work. As long as one person takes the bait and chooses to break the barrier, you will be exposed to the sight of other masters... …I think, based on the personalities of those magicians, no one would refuse the opportunity to eliminate an opponent.”

"You bastard! Is this such a plan?" Tohsaka gritted his teeth angrily.

"So in a sense, it is the best outcome for us and Lancer to retreat after facing each other this time."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Shu frowned: "This kind of conspiracy atmosphere... is really troublesome. I hate dealing with such people."
