When Jacobus Rakan or better known as Jack Rakan saw Shirou for the first time, he immediately believed that Shirou really are one of Nagi son, because of their extraordinary resemblance, the only thing that set them apart was Shirou's narrow eyes which were the hallmark of the East Asians people.
But even though they were both father and son. Rakan knows that their nature is completely different, for Rakan, Nagi is a man who relies more on his muscles and fighting instincts than relying on his brain when fighting.
Whereas Rakan could see that Shirou was a person who could use his brain and instincts when fighting, something he couldn't even achieve as one of the strongest fighters in the world.
And right now when Shirou was right in front of him, Rakan had the urge to challenge Shirou to a fight. To find out how strong Shirou really was. Had he already reached the level of his and Nagi's strength, or was he still one level below him? That's what he really wanted to know right now.
But Rakan suppressed his will to fight deeply, because he knew now was not the right time to fight with Shirou, no matter how strong his wish to fight Shirou.
There was still another important matter that the remaining Ala Rubra members had to solve at this time, a problem that they had not had the chance to solve in the past.
Cosmo Entelecheia, a terrorist group created by the mage of the beginning Ialda Baoth, to make humans fall into a mass dream. So that Ialda who has the ability to feel all the negative feelings of all humans can end the suffering she feels due to her ability.

In the evening, exactly eight hours after Negi finished the match he was playing. Amidst the huge crowds of people walking through the ever-bustling city of Granicus, Negi was walking with a mind filled with worry.
He had only faced Fate Averruncus once in Kyoto, and Negi knew that Fate Averruncus was a very formidable foe and the level of power he currently possessed was not at all equal to Fate's.
And that's what annoyed him, his older brother Shirou had managed to defeat Fate Averruncus and in the second moment Shirou faced Fate his brother managed to restrain Fate who came along with his comrades and managed to escape unharmed. Negi wanted his level of power to reach the same level as Shirou's, so that he could protect those precious to him.
It's just that Negi understands that his martial talent is not equal to Shirou's or his father's, so to be able to reach Shirou or Nagi's level of strength in a short time Negi must find a way, which allows him to reach the highest level in a short time even though he knew that there was a very high price to pay if he wanted great power in such a short period of time.
'My worries about the Fate Averruncus can't be removed from my heart and mind at all,'
While walking through the crowd, in his teenage form. Negi was deep in thought about the true identity of Fate Averruncus.
'Who exactly is Fate Averruncus? What does he really want? I guess destroying the Gateport is just one of the goals of him and the rest of the group.'
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
'The only Gateport left is the Gateport in the ruins of Ostia, which Shirou-Nii believes is the main base of Fate and his mob, and if one day he appears before me and Shirou-Nii isn't around, I'll be in trouble.Very deep trouble! The current me won't be able to win against him or keep up with him, but how can I get myself to reach Shirou-Nii's level quickly! What exactly am I lacking!'
Flashback to the previous two days when Negi and Kotarou were having a match in the arena.
[NOW! IS NAGI THE BLACK HORSE REALLY THE Descent OF THE HERO OR IS HE THE HERO HIMSELF!? HE IS THE MAN THAT BECAME A SENSATION IN THE WORLD THAT MADE A LOT OF SPECULATION AND THOUGHTS!]
"Kotarou regarding our conversation that time," Negi said who avoided a sword thrust from his enemy while chatting with Kotarou. "About my flaws that prevent me from becoming strong."
"Hmm? What's wrong with your shortcomings, Negi?" Asked Kotarou as he knocked his enemy backwards.
"As a fighter, I think that I can get stronger by fighting and increase my experience," Replied Negi who was now kicking his enemy's sword then pushing his enemy with his palm. "But even though I've fought quite a lot and my experience has increased, I feel that I haven't gotten any stronger at all, like something is missing from me."
"Ah, I see, you finally realized that you lacked something so that could mase you grow stronger," Kotarou said who had already defeated his enemy. "It's also true you lackimg to be strong, maybe battle a instinct, stupidity or maybe some ultimate move?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Battle instinct, stupidity and the ultimate move? What do you mean Kotarou I didn't understand what did you just said to me, at all?" Asked Negi who was confused by Kotarou's words just as he had already defeated his opponent.
"Don't you realize Negi, if fighting instincts, stupidity and ultimate moves are very important things for a fighter to be strong!" Kotarou replied. "Especially the ultimate move! According to the Shonen manga that I read if a fighter doesn't have an ultimate move, he doesn't deserve to be a warrior or a fighter."
"Why did you suggest a way to become strong using the Shinnen manga that you read as a reference!" Shouted Negi who looked annoyed. "Are you out of your mind!"
"Hey, don't insult my idea! I can become as strong as I am now thanks to the training idea I followed based on the Shonen manga!" Kotarou said who felt annoyed and insulted by Negi's words. "Besides, have you forgotten that Asuna-Nee-san as well as your father are the type to become strong thanks to their stupidity and instincts! So don't underestimate my idea!"
"Shirou-Nii isn't stupid like my father or Asuna, but he can be a very strong fighter," Negi shouted. "He can even defeat Fate Averruncus and Albiero-san who have the same strength as my father!"
"Sigh don't equate Shirou-Nii-san with your father or Asuna-Nee-san, because Shirou-Nii has a very different level of talent than the two of them," Kotarou said. "He is someone who belongs to the very few god-level geniuses in this world!"
"God level genius?" Negi said with a confused look on his face. "What do you mean by saying that Shirou-Nii is a god level genius Kotarou, I really don't understand!?"
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Sometimes I wonder if you're a genius or a fool Negi," Kotarou said while patting his face in irritation caused by Negi. "What I mean is that Shirou-Nii-san is the type of genius in combat and martial arts that there are a very rare people in this world, and because of his genius, Shirou-Nii-san can learn any martial technique very quickly, and he can get stronger in a short time with just a little practice.To my knowledge Shirou-Nii-san is the only god-level genius that exists and I've seen."
"Eeeh! Shirou-Nii is that type of person!?" Negi said who looked surprised. "How come I didn't notice it at all, huh?"
"Aaaaah, if you're just a literal genius who are only good with theory, you'll have a hard time understanding things that are beyond what you're good at," Kotarou said while still patting his face. "Even Asuna-Nee-san who are dumb is know about Shirou-Nii-san's talent! In terms of perception in fighting and combat skill your comprehension ability is really mediocre Negi!"
In the stands, Rakan who was came to see by his own eyes how great Negi's abilities were, is immediately disappointed by what he saw.
"Hmm, that brat is quite decent for an ordinary person," Rakan said. "But unfortunately he is more similar to Arika than Nagi, he didn't inherit Nagi's fighting talent at all. But maybe if I give him a little encouragement he can become stronger than he is now!"
