"Both my Origin and Elemental affinity are 'Sword'." Shirou shot back, unable to help chuckling at the dumbfounded expression on Sona's face "I know, that was the same look my Master had when he found out. As a result, while I was ill-suited to any other school of Magecraft, when it came to 'Swords', I was able to comprehend everything about them with a single glance. For example…"
He held out his right hand, teeth clenching as he activated his circuits, the hammer in his head firing as he drew forth a recent addition to the Hill of Swords, Rias' eyes widening as a very familiar Demonic Sword appeared in his grip.
"This is Kiba-san's Holy Eraser." He explained, holding the weapon up for all to see "It's a Demonic Sword he created using his Sacred Gear: Sword Birth, with the ability to seal away the Light Element of Holy Swords." He winced at the pained look in Rias' eyes and dismissed the blade "He most likely designed the blade with the intent of facing the...Excaliburs." he didn't quite grimace at the name "Unfortunately, at his current level it can't hope to absorb the light of a True Holy Sword."
"Fascinating." Sona mused, her expression calculating while Rias simply averted her eyes, clearly more shaken by the sight of Kiba's sword than Shirou had thought she'd be "So you can perfectly replicate any weapon you see?"
"Not perfectly." Shirou admitted "While I can recreate more than just swords, it comes at a higher cost and I can't recreate anything with complex inner mechanisms like a bomb or a machine-gun." Issei and Saji sighed at the admission "Not only that, as with the standard Gradation Air, anything I recreate is slightly inferior to the originals since there's only so much information I can gather from sight alone." He nodded confidently "However, other than that, in addition to being able to remain in manifested for several hours after creation, everything from their accumulated history, special abilities and even the skills of their wielders is perfectly replicated."
"Meaning, theoretically, that if you were to face Kiba-san with a copy of Holy Eraser, not only would you know how he fought, but also how to defeat him?" Sona pressed, earning a sharp look from Rias.
"Possible, but unlikely." Shirou countered, more out of a desire to escape Rias' glare than lack of faith in his skills "Remember, anything traced will be inferior to the original, so even if I knew how Kiba would fight, my Holy Eraser would lose to his."
"Well duh!" Issei crowed, the pervert clenching a fist determinedly in a show of support for his absent peerage member "There's no way Kiba's swords would lose to some cheap imitation!"
"That's enough, Issei." Rias cut in, cutting the Pawn off before Shirou could respond "Unless you want another round of spankings?" she teased, the Pawn shutting up with a yelp, literally covering his ass in fear.
"You say you can record the history of anything your eyes can see." Sona mused, her expression calculating as she glanced between Shirou and Issei "Would it be possible to recreate a Sacred Gear? Say, Hyoudou's Boosted Gear?"
"Sona-?!" Rias exclaimed, looking at her rival in shock before turning to glance worriedly at Shirou, a sentiment shared by Issei and Saji while Koneko, Akeno and Tsubaki looked on with interest.
"Probably not." Shirou admitted with a shake of his head "One of the limitations of my ability is that it can't recreate Divine-level constructs or weapons of extra-terrestrial origin." He shivered at the memory of Gilgamesh's Ea even as the Gremory faction sighed in relief "Don't get me wrong, I could probably make something similar, given time, but I wouldn't be able to recreate the Soul of the Dragon sealed within…"
"HA! As if the world would be able to bear twice my magnificence!" the gem on Issei's gauntlet barked, startling the group "Still, that was some trick you pulled off, Sword-Mage. I haven't seen a feat like that for some time."
"I'd question how you were able to see anything at all given your situation but I'd rather not think of the horrors you've had to endure attached to Hyoudou's alone time hand." Shirou deadpanned, earning a squawk of indignation from the Pawn even as Asia tilted her head in confusion. "In any case, at my current level, Hrunting should vanish by sunrise. Though considering their targets, I don't think any of them will come back right away even if it did."
"That's alright," Rias assured him with a sigh "Akeno, Koneko and I already sent our familiars out to search for them. If they see anything, they'll contact us immediately."
"In the meantime, I do believe it's time we turned in for the night" Sona noted, glancing at Shirou even as Issei yelped at the time "I expect to see you in class as normal, understood?"
"Shouldn't pose a problem." Shirou assured her, the Faker rising to his feet with a grunt at the devils began to file out, Sona and Tsubaki using a teleportation array while Rias was forced to walk back with Asia and Issei due to the latter lacking the ability to use the gates himself, the four of them splitting up to go their separate ways as they left the school grounds.
The next day...
Shirou sighed, the redheaded Faker doing his level best to try and ignore the insanity that was the perverted trio roughhousing in the corner. Apparently Issei's two friends, jealous of his sudden popularity with the 'Two Great Onee-samas' and Asia Argento, had begun spreading rumours about the perverted pawn behind his back in a misguided attempt to ruin his already tarnished reputation.
'Seriously, how much deeper than rock bottom can you go?' he muttered, shaking his head at the idiocy of it all while Issei proceeded to vent his anger on them via slapstick, thankfully remembering to reign his strength back, for even as a low-class Reincarnated Devil, he was still much stronger than a human being.
