Because he had a Workshop, Kisaragi Rin had never experienced the so-called out-of-control pressure; he could use any Skill he wanted on himself.
"I'm not just a player; I'm also a Workshop owner."
Thinking this, Kisaragi Rin didn't know what kind of organization the Hebi Family, mentioned by Soichiro Kuzuki, was in Japan, nor did he acknowledge it. Instead, he pointed to Medusa's battlefield and reminded him, "Soichiro Kuzuki, your Hydra Captain has completely fallen into a disadvantage."
"Hmm... I see it."
Soichiro Kuzuki's expression remained calm, seemingly not at all worried that he would meet his end here.

While the power of magic could directly blind ordinary people, its effect was not as strong on other Heroic Spirits.
When Saber's Excalibur's light pierced the earth at Honoka Academy, terrifying magical energy fluctuations spread throughout Fuyuki City, signaling the start of the Holy Grail War.
As the first pair to summon a Heroic Spirit, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai had originally planned to prioritize dealing with other players, but unexpectedly, within just one day, all seven classes in the Holy Grail War had appeared.
"Ai, it seems like this Holy Grail War is full of Beyonders..."
According to the Shinomiya family's records, previous Holy Grail Wars had never been this urgent.
This Holy Grail War was already unusual, and in this situation, Shinomiya Kaguya abandoned her plan to clear out other players. Instead, she had Hayasaka Ai's Heroic Spirit, Hassan of the Hundred Personas, observe the movements of other players and, while she was at it, search for the "referee" that the Paradise mentioned.
Shinomiya Kaguya's sequence was A, so she naturally obtained this hidden information, and in her understanding, the Paradise's information would definitely have a special use.
That unfair referee would definitely bring some special impact to this game.
It was like a hidden plot in a game, containing a shortcut for those falling behind to catch up.
To ensure victory, Shinomiya Kaguya would never allow anything outside her plan to exist!
Hassan of the Hundred Personas split into dozens of individuals and went to various parts of Fuyuki City, bringing Shinomiya Kaguya additional news.
There were cases of ordinary people dying near the Emiya Residence; one ordinary person was shot.
Players clashed at the Hyatt Hotel, and two players had already teamed up?
It started snowing late at night at Ryudoji Temple, suspected to be the last Berserker to appear.
When Kisaragi Rin and Yukinoshita Yukino confronted Soichiro Kuzuki at Honoka Academy, Shinomiya Kaguya's Heroic Spirit, Gilgamesh, also decided at this moment to announce his arrival to Fuyuki City.
"Your Majesty, please remember that in this Holy Grail War, mortals must not directly behold your glory."
After a reminder and bidding Gilgamesh farewell with the etiquette of a subordinate, Shinomiya Kaguya no longer concerned herself with it and began her work as a nun with Hayasaka Ai.
Bishop Karen was calling on the nuns to clean the Church. Because she had never participated in such things, Shinomiya Kaguya's movements were quite clumsy, and she stood on her tiptoes to wipe the glass with a rag.
On the other side, Hayasaka Ai stood by in a posture of protecting Shinomiya Kaguya, holding a basin of clear water for Shinomiya Kaguya to wash the rag.
Feeling her magical energy suddenly deplete, Shinomiya Kaguya paused and said to her maid Hayasaka Ai, "Gilgamesh has already started fighting the enemy."

Bond wore a dog tag, a dog walking by the roadside, observing the street with vigilant eyes, though his gaze occasionally drifted, looking at the fragrant food by the roadside that tempted his nose.
Beside him was Scáthach, wearing a purple-black leotard, holding a long spear, and made invisible by magic.
Last night, Berserker's appearance meant that all seven classes of the Holy Grail War had appeared, so Bond applied to leave the Einzbern family.
Using the reason of going to Fuyuki City to purchase goods, Bond and Scáthach appeared here.
Looking at the gluttonous Bond with a sigh, Scáthach placed a banknote on the counter, took an ice cream from under the counter, and held it in front of Bond, intending to feed this Master first.
"I want the chocolate-flavored one."
Sticking out his tongue and taking a lick, confirming that this green ice cream was matcha, not vanilla, Bond said to Scáthach in his mind.
"Dogs die if they eat chocolate," Scáthach explained helplessly.
"I'm not an ordinary dog," Bond remained unmoved, having his own set of theories.
Bond stubbornly stared at Scáthach, giving the impression that if she didn't get it for him, he would directly use a Command Spell.
Ultimately, Scáthach still backed down. She took another chocolate-flavored one from the counter, brought it to Bond, and warned, "...You can only eat one."
Because all his Skills were sealed, Bond was only physically stronger than an ordinary dog. If he really died from chocolate, Scáthach felt it would be better for her to rot in the Land of Shadows.
Just then, Saber, far away at Honoka Academy, released Excalibur. Sensing this powerful force, Scáthach's originally sorrowful expression immediately returned to calmness.
"It seems there really is an opponent."
Calmness was not without excitement, but rather Scáthach's composure for this battle.
It was also at this moment that a figure in golden armor appeared on the eaves of the ice cream shop next to Scáthach and Bond. He was moving at high speed towards Honoka Academy.
Although both of them used magic to conceal their presence, at the moment they drew near, Scáthach and Gilgamesh both looked in each other's direction.
"An interesting Heroic Spirit."
Although he possessed eyes that saw all, Gilgamesh usually kept them closed.
However, the moment he saw Scáthach, Gilgamesh already knew that she was not someone he would normally call a mortal.
Scáthach was the same; she felt the presence of those she had once killed in this Heroic Spirit.
He was both like a god and a human hero.
Scáthach stood up, placed her spear on the ground, and asked directly, "Are you human or god?"
With just that one statement, Gilgamesh's rage was instantly ignited. Golden whirlpools appeared in the air, and several Noble Phantasms already blasted towards Scáthach.
"Mongrel, who allowed you to insult this King so!"
As Gilgamesh was two-thirds god and one-third human, he was among those who most detested the gods.
To him, he was the King, the King of Heroes!
