Rin couldn't challenge that, the Gremory Clan had too much strength to be challenged openly. "Yes I did and I made a mistake on the method to contact you."
"You thought Matou-san and you were the only magicians on Homurahara." Rias said, stepping away from the other two and getting close to Shirou. "But you didn't know that Shirou was one as well and had no way of knowing he had better detection skills." Once Rias was at Shirou's side she turned to the others. "Because of your actions I met him and we both fought and defeated a stray devil who hid beneath your school."
"There was a stray there?" Shinji was shocked by the news but Rin wasn't surprised and that just confirmed that it was Rin who tried to call for help and botched it.
"Why the roundabout way of contact?" Rias asks and RIn lets out a sigh.
"I… found the stray first and I thought that I could get it as a chance to get some favor…" She was fidgeting a little in place. "I fought the devil and used a lot of my gems and mana for it. I thought to myself, 'if I am going to meet the Heiress of Gremory I better have a plan and show myself useful."
In other words, she wanted to impress. Like every magician she wanted to be chosen and that was a chance. 'But it backfired.' Shirou deduced like many of the listeners.
"My final considerations for both of you!" Both Tohsaka and Matou waited for the verdict. "Your power was good and both of you have skills. HOWEVER!" She made a point of shouting so they couldn't miss hear the intent of the next line. "None of you here are useful… besides Shirou that is!" She made a point to close one of her eyes and gesture to the redhead.
"WHAT?" Shinji was the one who felt most insulted. "HE IS JUST A GLORIFIED JANITOR HE-" Rias points a finger at him and garthers the Power of Destruction, shutting the Matou's mouth.
"He is my contracted magician and you will not insult him in my presence." The revelation was shocking to everyone else there. "I wanted to see if there was anyone better but now I am sure that Shirou was the better choice. Thank you for your participation and you may leave now."
"Gremory-sama?" One of the magicians calls her attention, afraid since Rias was still holding a considerable amount of power on her finger tip. "You said he is your contracted magician already… do you two already have a pact?"
"Yes." She said with no shame of the fact. "I let you all show me your talents to see if there was anyone else here worth the effort. Even if you wanted a pact I could guarantee one with another heir if anyone here proved themselves. None of you did!"
"And he did?" Shinji couldn't help but ask. To his and everyone's shock Rias let the power go and turned to Shirou.
"Could you please make an EM?" Rias was all smiles when asking Shirou that, it was jarring for many but he did as asked.
"Projection?" Rin watched the events happening, she and every single magician there were frustrated by the events but curiosity kept them rooted to see 'why' Shirou was worthy.
"Kiba. Come here for a bit." The Knight approaches and Rias points at his sword. "Can I borrow that?" Kiba gave her his Holy Eraser. "Thank you." She looks around to all present. "I need a volunteer."
"Rias!" Shirou did not like what she was planning.
"Stay calm Shirou-kun. This is just a demonstration and I need someone impartial to show your innovation." Her smile could be called angelic at that moment.
No one steps forward, there is not a magician or sane person on the planet who would risk themselves in a demonstration involving two blades. Shirou didn't blame them and was ready to put an end to the whole thing.
"I will do it."
"Setsuna-san?" Shirou questions but the woman steps forward.
"You came with him." Rin said. "That hardly counts as 'impartial'"
"I lost a spar to him earlier, before a real fight I would like to know some of his abilities." The logic made sense to the devils and magicians but not to Shirou.
"Wati! You didn't lose! You hit me first!." By the rules of their improvised bout that meant she had the point while his would be invalid.
"By a second of difference, your attack would have been lethal." Rias really wanted to hear that story. "What do you need?"
"It's simple really, I'm going to cut you with this sword," she says, raising Holy Eraser, "then I will heal you with this one." Showing the scalpel.
"Are you going to cut a limb?" Setsuna asked.
"No, just a cut big enough for everyone to see." With a nod Setsuna starts to take out the jacket of the uniform.
"Rias, there is no need for that." He didn't like the idea of someone getting hurt for a demonstration.
"Actually we kinda do now." She points to the magicians behind her. "They are probably pissed off with you for getting 'their' pact out of nowhere and to avoid issues it's better to show why I did it in the first place."
The reason why Rias needs to do this is to avoid someone trying to kill Shirou, there wasn't a single doubt in her mind someone would try anyway but if she demonstrates why he was chosen then that will at least get him some respect leaving only the truly malicious to try and harm him. There was also the problem she was letting the information of his research loose but that she can deal with later.
"Can I have the sword?" Setsuna asked, without the jacket she had only the short sleeved buttoned up shirt of the uniform and her figure was even more exposed, her bust was show to be smaller than Rias', many of the males and even some females were staring at her..
