Chapter 179 Sasaki Kojiro

"Hey handsome guy who's been peeking around, aren't you going to come out yet?"

Lin Yu stood in front of the mountain gate and said, which stunned Rin Tohsaka, who was standing next to him. She was surprised that someone would be hiding here.

"Is it Professor Kuzuki? Or..."

Rin Tohsaka asked, since it seemed that only Professor Kuzuki and Caster Medea were here.

"I never expected that they could find me. Although I'm not a proper Assassin, I still have the ability to conceal my presence."

At this moment, a handsome man emerged from the steps of the mountain gate. He had a long, dark blue ponytail that reached his collarbone, and a 1.5-meter-long samurai sword slung across his back, its scabbard displaying an elegant purple hue.

He was dressed in a light purple kimono, with a twig between his teeth, arms crossed, standing straight with a calm expression, not at all like a dark Assassin.

"He's actually an Assassin?"

From what this Servant said, Rin Tohsaka learned that his class was Assassin, but the point was that this Assassin was not serious at all, just like her Archer.

"Do you Servants all like to be different? You archers don't act like archers, you assassins don't act like assassins, and you're carrying such long samurai swords, is that how you're supposed to be assassins?"

Rin Tohsaka started chattering, saying that this Holy Grail War was so unserious, but Lin Yu ignored the young lady's complaints and said to Kojiro Sasaki:

"Because my eyes can see through the future and the past, and you in the future will die tragically at my hands, so I'm telling you this to see if you want to die tragically or communicate."

How could Lin Yu see the future? He simply has a God's-eye view and overwhelming strength. If he says you will die in the future, then you will definitely die.

"A tragic death? Foresight? You're quite an interesting fellow. Too bad that fox inside is waiting for you, otherwise I'd really like to see how you'll make me suffer... ugh!"

boom!

Sasaki Kojiro felt a heavy pressure pressing down on him.

"That's about it. With a little more effort, it'll be Assassin's meat sauce."

Lin Yu stared indifferently at Sasaki Kojiro kneeling on the ground. Calling him Sasaki Kojiro wasn't quite right; he was just a wandering ghost.

"I...I didn't expect you to be so strong. Was I, a wandering ghost, really too overpowered?"

Sasaki Kojiro gasped for breath under the pressure of telekinesis. As a wandering ghost, he possessed qualities that fit Sasaki Kojiro's character setting.

He was forcibly given the name Sasaki Kojiro for his "Swallow Reversal" technique.

"Isn't this what you wanted to see? I'm a philanthropist, so wouldn't it be better to help you fulfill your wish?"

Lin Yu released his psychic pressure on Sasaki Kojiro and walked towards the mountain gate, leaving a bewildered Tohsaka Rin behind.

"Archer? What was your ability just now? And what did he mean by what he said?"

Rin Tohsaka felt ignored, as if it made no difference whether she was there or not, but she still wanted to find some sense of existence, so she caught up with Lin Yu and asked.

Sasaki Kojiro stood up and leaned against the red mountain gate pillar that had been his only companion, watching Lin Yu's back. He had almost died again. This man was truly terrifying. He had such strength, yet he could control evil, good, and reason so well. It was truly a miracle.

"So that Assassin is Sasaki Kojiro? The swordsman who was defeated by Miyamoto Musashi?"

Rin Tohsaka continued to chatter on, after all, if historical figures were to be resurrected, everyone would be curious about them and want to know everything about their time.

"The name Sasaki Kojiro is actually a legend. He is not a real historical figure, but a peerless swordsman created by later generations."

"But because this Assassin mastered the unique technique 'Swallow Return,' which matches the abilities of the legendary Sasaki Kojiro, he was given this name. It may sound a bit complicated, but I think you can understand what I mean."

Lin Yu couldn't stand Rin Tohsaka's nagging anymore, so he chose to tell her some things about Kojiro Sasaki. This surprised Rin Tohsaka, and she was speechless. However, she still understood what he meant.

“He’s quite pitiful,” Rin Tohsaka remarked. “Being given the name ‘Sasaki Kojiro’ means that he hasn’t done anything earth-shattering. He doesn’t have a name that the world will remember, and he can only be summoned as a phantom.”

"Isn't it normal for a reclusive swordsman to die in seclusion? It's not that easy to become famous for your swordsmanship."

Lin Yu thought it was normal. There was no trace left in the world to begin with. It was just lucky to fulfill everything that made it a fictional character. By chance, it became that character. Doesn't that mean you can become that person?

"Our guests have arrived, so please come in."

While Lin Yu was still talking to Rin Tohsaka, Souichirou Kuzuki walked out of the shrine, still with a serious and expressionless face.

“Kusuke-sensei…” Rin Tohsaka couldn’t help but shrink back. She still felt a little awkward when she was actually face to face with her homeroom teacher.

Lin Yu chuckled inwardly. He could understand Rin Tohsaka's feelings. After all, the combination of student and homeroom teacher was a common trope in the Holy Grail War, and there was a similar example in the last Holy Grail War.

For example, the three teachers, Tokiomi Tohsaka, Principal Ken, and Souichirou Kuzuki, all met tragic ends.

Their students, Kirei Kotomine, Queen Wei, and Rin Tohsaka, all generally achieved relatively good endings.

"I didn't expect you to be a Master too, Tohsaka-san. It seems I guessed wrong. Is Emiya-san the Master of that blonde girl?"

"Didn't you bring Emiya-kun with you?"

When Kuzuki Souichirou saw Rin Tohsaka and Lin Yu together, he immediately understood the situation. The question that had been puzzling him all day was also answered. He had originally thought that Rin Tohsaka was the blonde girl's Master, but it turned out that she was actually Shirou Emiya.

“Archer prevented them from coming.”

Rin Tohsaka adjusted her emotions slightly and regained her composure. Although facing familiar people made her a little awkward, she wasn't the kind of person who couldn't distinguish between what was important and what wasn't. She knew exactly what to do and when, and she couldn't embarrass Archer or show weakness now.

"You're Archer? The Archer Archer?"

Kuzuki Souichirou never expected that Lin Yu, who could withstand his deadly attack, would be Archer. Shouldn't it have been Lancer or Berserker? It was truly astonishing!

"Enough! Stop looking at me like that, 'You're Archer?' Who says archers can't fight in melee and can't have a good physique?"

Lin Yu complained, "Isn't it good that archers can be both ranged and melee attackers? If they can only attack from a distance, they'll get their hands chopped off by 'ordinary people,' and die a pathetic death without even being able to unleash their ultimate attack. That's too unworthy of the Archer class."
