 That giant[line3]
 I should ask about the Servant Berserker, who overwhelmed Saber.
 According to Saber and Tohsaka, he should be the strongest in battle[line3]

• page1|

 "Saber, what would happen if you fought Berserker again? ...Um, will you be unable to win as long as I'm your Master...?"
 The greatest burden for Saber.
 I ask her about the weakness that prevents her from using her powers at their full potential, just because she made a contract with an immature Master like me.

• page2|

 "That is incorrect, Shirou.
  Even if you were a mature Master, it would make no difference to the fact that Berserker is a powerful opponent. You do not need to condemn your own inexperience for this fact."

• page3|

 "...Hm. That might be true, but it's a burden on you, right?
  So, if you were the original Saber..."

• page4|

 "No. Even if I was at my full potential, it would be difficult to defeat Berserker. ...No, it may be impossible for any Servant to beat that giant.

• page5|

 "Shirou, do you remember the battle that night? Berserker repelled Rin's magic as if it was nothing. He does not have magic resistance like I do.
  He just nullified the magic with his own physical strength."

• page6|

 "Hmm... I saw that, but is it something to be that surprised about?
  That just means Berserker's body is tough, right?"

• page7|

 "No. Berserker did not endure Rin's magic, but he repelled it. The difference is substantial.
  If one endures an attack, the armor will break if that spot is attacked repeatedly. But it is different if it is repelled. Rin's magic did not even reach Berserker to begin with."

• page8|

 "Didn't reach him...? You mean he nullifies magic like you do?"
 "Yes. But like I said earlier, Berserker does not have the skill of magic resistance. If that is the case, I can only assume that his Noble Phantasm repelled the magic."

• page9|

 "...This is only a speculation, but Berserker's Noble Phantasm may be 'armor'. It is not a simple armor, and it could be close to a theoretical magical concept called a conceptual weapon.
  Perhaps[line3]Berserker has an ability that nullifies all attacks that are below a certain level. That must be why my sword and Rin's magic were useless against him."

• page10|

 "If Berserker's true identity is the great hero of Greece, his abilities are mostly rank A. If we want to injure him, I believe we have to use an attack value that is at least of the same rank."

• page11|

 "...Attack value of the same rank...? So in other words..."
 "...Yes. It is difficult to say, but I believe any attack that is below A rank will be nullified, whether normal attack or Noble Phantasm.
  If we want to defeat that giant, we would need a normal attack power of at least an A rank, and a Noble Phantasm that exceeds even that."

• page12|

 "[line3]"
 I close my eyes and recall Saber's abilities.
 Saber's strength... her normal attack power is B rank, and her Noble Phantasm is C rank.

• page13|

 ...God.
 If what Saber says is right, not only is it impossible to defeat Berserker, but we don't even have a way to hurt him...!

• page14|

 "H-Hold on...! Um, aren't strength and Noble Phantasms measured differently?
  No matter how low the rank is, a Noble Phantasm is a powerful weapon, right? So if you measure it in terms of strength, shouldn't it be at least A rank?"

• page15|

 "Yes. Noble Phantasms are incomparable to normal attacks. A Noble Phantasm of a C rank, when converted to a normal ability, would have A or A+ rank.
  ...But the 'refusal' that protects Berserker goes beyond the rules of reality."

• page16|

 "That thing is a concept that can nullify even a Noble Phantasm that destroys the world, if it is below an A ranking.
  Berserker... Hercules is a heroic spirit with divinity.
  One can only affect a heroic spirit who has received the blood of gods with a divine mystery of the same level."

• page17|

 "[line3]Then, the next time we're attacked..."
 ...Will be our last?

• page18|

 "No. Whatever kind of a heroic spirit he is, a weakness must exist. At the very least, Berserker does not have an attack method on the anti-castle level. So we can avoid getting all of us killed in one blow, even if we are attacked.
  When my wound heals, a matched one-on-one fight is possible. You could escape during that time, or I might be able to find a chance of victory if I have some form of backup."

• page19|

 "...So we need to stay away from them for now, huh? So, somehow we have to find Berserker's weakness by then...
  So. Saber, what do you mean an attack method of an anti-castle level?"

• page20|

 "I am talking about the attack level of the Noble Phantasm.
  Anti-personnel Noble Phantasms exhibit their true power in one-on-one combat.
  Anti-army Noble Phantasms exhibit their power in group combat.
  And the anti-castle Noble Phantasms decides everything in a single blow.
  The Noble Phantasms largely fall into these three categories."

• page21|

 I see.
 As the names suggest, anti-castle and anti-army, if we were attacked with such missile-like assaults, Tohsaka and I would be blown away in a single strike.
 Fortunately, Berserker doesn't have an attack method that attacks such a wide range.

• page22|

 "...But the Master compensates that weakness.
  Ilyasviel was a great mass of magical energy. If she is an excellent magus and concentrates on protecting Berserker... I will not be able to protect you."

• page23|

 "[line5]"
 ...I see.
 Berserker is not the only concern.
 Master and Servant are one.
 I am Saber's burden in that regard as well[line3]
