In the world of Type-Moon, a Heroic Spirit's status is generally comprised of four parts: basic parameters, personal skills, class skills, and their most powerful Noble Phantasm.
Basic parameters consist of Strength, Endurance, Agility, Magic, and Luck. These values determine a Heroic Spirit's advantages and disadvantages in close combat.
Personal skills are abilities inherent to the Heroic Spirit, usually those they possessed in life.
Noble Phantasms are condensed legends from the Heroic Spirit's life, serving as their ultimate techniques.
As for class skills, these are abilities exclusive to a particular class.
In the Holy Grail War, there are seven main classes:
Saber (Knight of the Sword), Archer (Knight of the Bow), Lancer (Knight of the Spear), Rider (Cavalry), Berserker (Mad Warrior), Assassin (Assassin), and Caster (Magus).
These seven classes each possess different class skills. Among them, Magic Resistance and Independent Action are class skills belonging to the Archer class.
"I can't believe I even inherited the Archer's class skills. In that case, I've now completely inherited everything from Heroic Spirit Emiya, haven't I?"
"So that means, even if I level up further, I won't gain any more skills."
"But these are already enough."
Looking at the stats on the paper in his hand, Shirou's heart burned with endless fighting spirit.
He had completely inherited everything from Heroic Spirit Emiya, so he had to use this power well to bring happiness to Miyu.
Seeing the smile on Shirou's lips, Loki, standing beside him, grew increasingly annoyed.
"Aren't you happy that you don't need me to update your Blessing?"
Hearing Loki's resentful voice, Shirou trembled and quickly said, "I'm only happy because my strength has improved, it has nothing to do with Independent Action."
"Besides, regardless of whether I have this skill or if I need your help with updates, you are my patron deity, and I will always be your family!"
Hearing Shirou's response, Loki's resentment instantly vanished.
"You're right, we are family!"
Loki, who was particularly susceptible to such flattery, immediately brightened up, her mood becoming cheerful.
With a smile on her face, she continuously patted Shirou's shoulder, laughing, "You're already famous throughout Orario now, Shirou!"
Shirou, not understanding, looked at Loki with a bewildered expression, waiting for her explanation.
"Oh, right, you're a homebody. Besides going to the Dungeon, you're either in the forge or in the Twilight Mansion. It's no wonder you don't know."
Loki's smile grew even wider as she suddenly understood. "In short, the scene of you defeating Goliath was seen by adventurers on the eighteenth floor, and now your legend is spreading throughout Orario."
"Bards and singers are praising your great feat. Now, your legend is probably spreading not only in Orario but also outside the city!"
Looking at the triumphant Loki, Shirou finally understood his current situation. Had he become famous?
A hint of excitement gleamed in Shirou's eyes, but it was primarily satisfaction. He had achieved part of his wish.
Loki's heart grew even more pleased as she looked at Shirou, who remained calm and showed no sign of arrogance or hubris in his eyes.
This child, having gone through who knows what, possessed such a mature and steady mind. But it had to be said, this mindset was definitely the best for exploring the Dungeon.
Not only his aptitude, but also his mindset was top-tier. This guy might, no, he would definitely surpass Ottar, standing at the pinnacle of Orario.
This child was a true hero.
Loki's eyes gleamed as she looked at Shirou sitting there.
"Shirou, though it may seem like I'm worrying unnecessarily, you must be careful of that Freya woman. She's not an easy person to deal with."
Although Freya showed no signs of making a move on Shirou, Loki was still prepared. After all, no one understood that woman's mind better than her.
The only reason she hadn't made a move yet was because it wasn't worth it.
But as Shirou grew stronger, that woman would gradually pay more attention to him, unless another adventurer appeared who was no less talented than Shirou, and that adventurer happened to be a member of another Familia.
However, Loki didn't believe such a person would appear.
Therefore, it was necessary to warn Shirou to be vigilant.
Hearing Loki's warning, Shirou instantly understood her meaning.
Goddess Freya favored adventurers with shining souls, to the point of even snatching them from their Familias.
Although he didn't know what caused a soul's brilliance, Shirou felt he wouldn't be in too much danger.
Because a certain boy was about to arrive in Orario.
That was Bell, the protagonist of the original work.
With him, Shirou believed Freya wouldn't bother him too much. After all, the Loki Familia and the Hestia Familia were not on the same scale.
"Please rest assured, Loki-sama, I will not leave the Loki Familia."
Shirou said firmly, looking at Loki, who was somewhat worried about him.
"So, after much consideration, you will participate in this expedition as the team's rear guard."
Shirou responded earnestly, looking at Finn seated opposite him and Riveria and Gareth standing on either side.
After updating his Blessing, Shirou was called here by the three executives and invited to join the expedition.
An expedition is a process where exploration-oriented Familias collectively delve deeper into the Dungeon.
Currently, the Loki Familia's deepest explored floor was the 58th floor, but they had not yet established a firm foothold there.
This time, their goal was to establish a firm foothold on the 58th floor and then proceed to the 59th floor.
That was an unknown area that the Loki Familia had never reached before.
At his LV.3, Shirou simply couldn't serve as a frontline combatant there, which is why he would be participating in the expedition as a rear guard.
Thinking about this, Shirou couldn't help but ponder. His strength would be difficult to showcase in the deep floors.
Looking at the thoughtful Shirou, Riveria, who didn't know what he was thinking, comforted him:
"Don't worry, Shirou, we all recognize your strength, otherwise, we wouldn't let you join."
Knowing that Riveria had misunderstood, Shirou didn't explain, but nodded in response:
"I trust your judgment."
Shirou wasn't worried about adapting to the expedition environment; he was pondering how to perform even better during the expedition.
He wanted to contribute more to the Familia.
After chatting with the three executives for a while longer, Shirou left.
According to the time Finn had announced, there was still a week until the expedition. During this time, Shirou had his own preparations to make.
After all, he wasn't planning on just visiting the Dungeon and coming back.
He wanted to do better.
