Getting Shirou right according to you, need I keep reminding that the only other Shirou that he has portrayed was one he deliberately altered because of the changed back ground he gave, and that yes his knowledge WAS based on playing the game, despite what a lot of people thought. This Shirou comes from a pure UBW background where both Rin and Saber both survived, which is one of the canon endings. This Shirou has no reason to be radically different like HoS Shirou did.
That being said the chapter was decent. I felt it kinda dragged, but these types of chapters are usually necessary for you to get from A to B so I can see where the story needed it. On the Rin, Saber, and Clock Tower thing I believe GB said in an AN that, that will be one of the conflicts of the story, alongside the Sekirei war and Shirou's growing relationship with his rediscovered family.

*looks at the previous few posts, doesn't see anything about ooc shirou*

He thought that Miya wasn't a Sekirei because she had a different magic being scent than the other Sekirei that he had encountered. And it isn't him using his sence of smell (as we would understand it), its that his magical being detection ability manifests through his sence of smell.
As explained in story:

Would not work. All the Sekirei thus far have had a different scent. Shirou has nothing to go on with his deduction about Miya not really being a Sekirei.
Edit: Looking at it again, I suppose you could hand wave it that all of Shirou's abilities are being enhanced because of his bond with the other Sekirei. But man, to be that pinpoint accurate through scent... that is a big stretch.
:huh.: GBs proven that he's willing to do the canonically impossible. Something that is theoretically possible, even if extremely unlikely, wouldn't stop him.
If it looks and sounds cool, I'd give even odds for GB writing it.
*imagines Shirou in Wolverine mode*
Protecting lolis. . . check
Popular with ladies. . . check
Able to summon weaponry instantly. . . check
Ability to repeatedly recover from life-threatening injuries . . . check
Apparently appears in every universe. . . check
All he needs is to appear in an unrelated work just so he can do some Worf Effect stunts.

He's proven willing to do canonically impossible in One universe, but perhaps less so in a second.
IE: Shirou in HOS has the Gandalfr Runes, which were something of an Enhancement.
Also, theoretically impossible? In Fanfiction? What? If you couldn't do anything theoretically impossible in fanfiction and manga, I don't think they would exist...

Actually you've missed a detail.
Every sekirei have TWO "magic scent". One that is common to every sekirei, an overpowering sweet scent, and a secondary one that is tied into their power like Homura's smell of smoke or the twins smelling of ozone.
Miya's first scent however is different from others sekirei, hence why Shirou was able to determine that she was different.

His ability to smell magic isn't the same as smelling. If it was the same as the way we smell scents, he would not be able to:
Every Sekirei has at least two scents so far, a sweet one marking themselves as Sekirei and another one marking their ability. Miya's scent was presented as having a lot more scents, thus his assumption she wasn't a regular Sekirei.
- distinguish multiple Sekireis in an area,
- tell their general location,
- easily distinguish the different scents of a Sekirei,
- do so instantly the moment they come into range, nor
- does the scent hang around and even grow stronger in frequented areas.

I understand it's not normal scent. What I don't understand is how Shirou came up with that deduction even though all the normal identifiers for Sekirei were there. All the additional scents so to speak could simply be an indicator that she's highly advanced and extremely powerful, but ultimately still a Sekirei.
However Shirou presents this accusation as not an assumption but a statement of fact and I'm left wondering how he came to that conclusion.

1. Dude, who said anything about the theoretically impossible?
2. I'd argue that becoming a Gandalfr was actually a downgrade compared to becoming a CG. CGs get as much power as the Earth wants them to.
3. Since In Flight isn't finished, you really have no basis for saying that GB won't do something there, especially since he was willing to do so earlier. All I'm sayin' is it's possible. That ain't criticizing or limiting anyone, now is it?
-Insert obligatory "HNNNNGGGGGGG~" for the pic.

I misread Theoretically Possible for Theoretically Impossible, my bad.
I was talking about HOS mostly, havent seen where the new fic is going yet, but mainly I think that Gandalf Powers, which are powers over weaponry, kind of make sense combined with Archer, and that allowed me to suspend disbelief for some of his more crazy feats.
For all I know, In Flight could turn into a megacrossover with Eighty bajillion chracters all capable of instant world destruction.
I hope it doesnt though.
(Unless Shirou wins. :lol: )

I also believe that Shirou was working with reasonable assumptions, considering:
A person who has never seen a body builder or heard of such a concept before might also say, "you're not quite human," when encountering one for the first time.
- he has been in the city for months and came across and avoided dozens of Sekirei,
- he has met Karasuba,
- he has Akitsu, a scrap number, an unusual Sekirei,
- he also has Homura, another unique Sekirei, in that nobody expected Homura to be winged,
- he knows there were only 108 Sekirei, and he hasn't scented such unique scents in those he has detected,
- and how the Izumo House was introduced.
