After having breakfast with her and Taiga, who is his legal guardian, he goes to school and fixes a heater for Issei, which is briefly observed by Rin . Issei remarks that Shirō never hesitates in helping people in need and warns him that he may be taken advantage of by inconsiderate people . While walking home from school, he encounters a silver - haired girl, who warns him to summon a Servant soon before vanishing . The next day, while helping Sakura with the dishes, Shirō notices a bruise on her hand and assumes that Shinji is beating her . At school, he learns from Mitsuzuri that Shinji has recently been acting more aggressively . He is then informed by other students of the murders of a family of four; while visiting the crime scene, Shirō recalls the time he was rescued by Kiritsugu Emiya in the aftermath of a devastating fire that occurred ten years ago, later being adopted by him and learning that he is a mage . He then notes how he had devoted his life to Kiritsugu's ideal of becoming a hero of justice . The following day, he stays late at school and confronts Shinji about Sakura's injury, but Shinji denies any involvement before asking Shirō to clean the school's kyūdō dojo, which he decides to do . After finishing, he witnesses the fight between Archer and Lancer, the latter of whom notices him . Fleeing inside the school, Shirō is suddenly cornered by Lancer, who stabs him in the heart and flees . Shirō nearly dies from his wound, but is revived by Rin, who then quickly leaves before he can recognize her . Returning home, he is attacked by Lancer again and forced to flee into the backyard shed . There, he accidentally summons Saber, who wards off Lancer after a brief battle . After identifying Shirō as her Master, Saber engages Archer in a sword - fight, forcing Shirō to use one of his Command Seals to stop her assault .

When Shirō is unable to comprehend the situation, Rin decides to take him to see Kirei Kotomine, a priest who is her legal guardian and also the overseer of the Holy Grail War . When they arrive at Kirei's church and meet up with him, Shirō learns that once someone is chosen to fight as a Master, their responsibilities are unavoidable . He then learns about the Holy Grail and the purpose of the Holy Grail War . Then, Shirō learns that there were four Holy Grail Wars before the current one, with the latest one taking place ten years ago . When he asks what happens if a Master with dark intentions wins the Grail, Kirei replies that there can be no action taken against the victor, and that the only way he could prevent such a Master from winning is to win it himself . He then adds that at the conclusion of the previous Holy Grail War, a Master with dark intentions touched the Grail, resulting in the fire that Shirō survived, a revelation which horrifies Shirō . Kirei then reveals that before the unworthy Master appeared, another Master actually won the Grail and held it, but because the Grail hadn't fully materialized at the time due to this Master refusing to fight, it deemed him unworthy to hold it . As a result of all the information he had just learned, Shirō finally accepts his responsibilities as a Master . Regrouping with Saber outside of the church, Shirō declares that he will be her Master, and they agree to fight in the Holy Grail War together . Later, Archer informs Rin that since Shirō is now a proper Master, they should attack, but she responds that she still has a debt to pay him and instead decides to let him and Saber return home . Moments later, they are confronted by the same silver - haired girl Shirō briefly met earlier, who is revealed to also be a Master, and her Servant, which Rin identifies as belonging to the Berserker class . </Td> </Tr>
