[Kotomine Shirou (Admin) is online]

[Kuroneko is online]

[Romani Archaman is online]

[Kuroneko: So are we finally going to another world?]

[Kotomine Shirou (Admin): Apparently yes!]

[Magi Mari~☆: I am excited to meet everyone offline]

[Romani Archaman: Me too]

[Jibril: What kind of world is this?]

[Jibril: Are they strong?]

Somehow, Shirou could feel that Jibril was drooling on the screen while breathing heavily at the same time.

[Kotomine Shirou (Admin): From what I remember, it is a world where there are humans called 'Blazers' and they have the ability to manipulate their souls to form powerful weapons called a 'Device'. Many of them are trained in prestigious academies to become Magic Knights]

[Kotomine Shirou (Admin): But to be honest, I don't think they are strong enough to fight you equally]

[Kuroneko: But wait, I am a normal human! I still can't use magic nor magecraft]

[Kotomine Shirou (Admin): I think it's alright, the quest said that only one member was needed to participate in the selection matches]

[Kotomine Shirou (Admin): Also, there is a chance for you to awaken your device and create your own Noble Arts, so don't worry about it too much]

[Jibril: What are those Devices? And what is a Noble Art?]

[Kotomine Shirou (Admin): I will send more information later, right now I have classes]

[Kuroneko: Me too]

[Kotomine Shirou (Admin): See you later]

[Kuroneko: Bye]

[Magi Mari~☆: Bye]

[Romani Archaman: Bye]

[Jibril: Bye]

[Kotomine Shirou (Admin) is offline]

Shirou closed his phone and put it back in his pocket, before going down and into the classroom for the afternoon classes.

<☆☆☆☆☆>

"I can finally go home"

"Do you want to go to the new cafe that opened recently? I heard that their cakes were amazing!"

"Ok"

The school finally ended and the students were eager to leave the school. Shirou was the same as he sighed, picked up his things and got up from his seat.

"You are leaving already?" Yahiro asked.

"Yes, I have something to do after school," Shirou said.

"What a pity. I was about to invite you to go Arcade" Yahiro said with some dissatisfaction in his voice.

"Maybe next time," Shirou said as he left the classroom. "See you tomorrow"

"See'ya" Yahiro said as he waved his hand.

Shirou left the school compound and walked on the road.

'What should I do now? I have to find a source of income...Maybe I should become a mangaka?' Shirou thought but immediately shook his head. 'No, I don't have any experience in drawing besides stickmen. then…'

Shirou stopped walking as images suddenly flashed inside his mind.

"I see..." Shirou muttered as he turned his head to a bookstore on another side of the street.

"It's time to research," Shirou said as he crossed the crosswalk and went to the bookstore.

Upon entering, Shirou saw shelves filled with books and he looked around until he spotted a section with books with anime girls, etc.

Shirou randomly picked a light novel named "Little Sister Magic War" and started reading, but after a few minutes of reading, a frown appeared on his face.

'What the heck is this? Why is the main character obsessed with little sisters and huge tits?' Shirou thought as he closed the book and returned to where he took it.

Shirou looked around the section and recognized some of the titles, although he could easily tell that it was a rip-off version of them, like 'Spear Art Offline' or 'Orc Hunter', etc.

'What is wrong with this world? There are rip-off versions everywhere I look, and besides, there are a lot of strange ones as well!'

*Sigh*

Then a cleric who was arranging the shelves and placing new volumes heard a sigh beside her, so she raised her head and saw Shirou looking around. She got up from her kneeling position and went to Shirou.

"Is there a problem, mister?" She asked, then she looked at Shirou from head to toe and saw his uniform and widened her eyes.

'We are from the same school! And besides, he is handsome!' She thought as a light blush appeared on her face.

"No, it's nothing. I was just surprised by the content of some light novels" Shirou replied as he looked at the clerk in front of him.

She had smooth black hair that reached her shoulders and dark blue eyes and was wearing the same uniform that Shirou was currently wearing with an apron on top of it.

"I see, do you want me to give you some recommendations?" She asked.

Shirou thought for a little, but he shook his head.

"It's alright, I only came here to gain some inspiration to write my own light novel," Shirou said.

"Really?" The clerk gasped in surprise as she didn't expect Shirou to be interested in becoming a novelist.

Shirou nodded.

"What will it be about?" She asked curiously.

"A secret," Shirou said with a mischievous tone which made her pout a little. They stared at each other for a little before they started to chuckle. After calming a little, Shirou extended his hand.

"I am Kotomine Shirou, from the Suimei University of the Arts High School and a second-year student," Shirou said.

"I am Takasago Tomoe, from the same school and I am a first-year student. Nice to meet you, senpai!"

"Nice to meet you too"

They talked for a while before Shirou said goodbye and went to the market to buy groceries. Around 6:30 pm, he arrived at Sakurasou and decided to make his own dinner and lunch for the next day.

When he finished dinner, he went to his room and sat on the chair in front of the desk. Then he opened his laptop and turned it on.

"Now let's start," Shirou said excitedly as he started typing so fast that his hands created afterimages.

<☆☆☆☆☆>

"And it's done," Shirou said as he typed the last key dramatically and somehow there was smoke coming out of them.

Right now, Shirou just finished the first volume of Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry and now he was going to submit it to the writing contest that was happening this week.

"Now let's sleep," Shirou said as he got up from the chair and laid on the bed and closed his eyes, as he felt something pulling his consciousness.

He opened his eyes and suddenly found himself in a white dimension with blue flames at the border. He then felt someone behind him and quickly turned around, but immediately widened his eyes as he saw a gigantic white western dragon standing in front of him.

"We finally met face to face, my host" Albion said in a deep voice that echoed through the dimension.

"Yeah…" Shirou said as he was still amazed by the dragon living inside him.

"You are currently inside the Divine Dividing, or in other words, my personal dimension," Albion said and Shirou nodded. "And as I promised, I will teach you everything I know about magic and how to use Divine DIviding here"

Shirou nodded and asked, "Albion, do you think I can achieve Balance Breaker now?"

Albion looked at Shirou with a thoughtful look before answering him.

"Yes, the current you can unlock it and maintain it for 20 minutes in battle, but as you know, to achieve Balance Breaker an emotional trigger is needed," Albion explained, but then his tone immediately turned very serious...

"But be careful my host, although your emotions will help you grow and gain strength even if it is temporary, it can also lead you to your ruin" Albion warned him.

Shirou nodded and said, "I know, I don't want to go berserk and die so early"

Albion nodded in approval and Shirou closed his eyes, before concentrating on Amakusa Shirou's memories and the death of the father of the previous owner of this body.

"I hate my enemies! Yet they're still humans. That's why I can forgive them. But, I can't forgive myself!"

Shirou recalled the moment where Amakusa Shirou and his army fought in the Shimabara Rebellion, which ended in the death of all of his comrades. Shirou felt the pain, hope, rage, sadness from both of them.

And in this instance, Divine Dividing manifested on Shirou's back as his body shone intensely and a white draconic armour was revealed. Albion looked at him with widened eyes, before smiling.

'As expected of Shirou, I can't wait to boast in front of Red.' Albion thought with a smug face.

Shirou looked at himself and felt the power running through his body.

"So this is the Balance Breaker…" Shirou muttered while clenching his fist.

"Congratulations my host, I can fully say that you are my first host to achieve Balance Breaker so soon. And a subspecies on that" Albion said.

"Subspecies?" Shirou asked as he widened his eyes.

"Indeed. Although the appearance of the armour didn't change that much, some of my abilities are stronger than what they should be…" Albion as he got up from his position. "...So why don't we test it out? After all, you need to learn how to use my abilities."

"Weren't you going to teach me magic? Although I don't mind anyways" Shirou said as he muttered the last part and got into a stance, even though he knew he couldn't win against Albion.

"I am changing plans, I didn't expect you to achieve Balance Breaker nor a subspecies, so now I am quite excited to do some exercises," Albion said with a smirk on his dragon face.

'Oh Lord, please save me…' Shirou thought before charging to Albion.
