While sitting next to Kagami might be nice, Tsukasa decided to sit next to Stella without hesitation, and Kanata also sat next to him naturally.
Kagami only smiled, but she didn’t say much.
On the other hand, Arisu smiled happily when he saw him, considering it was rare to see Tsukasa.
“Tsukasa, who do you think is going to win?” Kagami asked.
Hearing this question, Tsukasa could see they were looking at him. Even Ikki and Arisu were also looking at him. Still, he wanted to pluck Arisu’s eyes at that moment. He just didn’t understand what was so good about liking the same gender?
After all, the woman was so good.
Whether it was their breasts, thighs, voice, or every part of their bodies were just so enchanting that he sometimes couldn’t get enough of them.
Tsukasa changed the position of his sitting by crossing his legs.
While Arisu and Ikki didn’t notice anything, Kagami, Kanata, and Stella had subtle expressions on their faces.
“It’s Touka-nee, without hesitation,” Tsukasa said firmly without hesitation.
While Stella and Kanata weren’t surprised, there was some displeasure about Arisu and Ikki.
After all, Shizuku Kurogane was Arisu’s best friend.
Ikki was also Shizuku’s big brother and also a pseudo lover.
The two cared much about Shizuku, but then again, it wasn’t that they didn’t know the power of Touka.
After all, Touka was the champion of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.
If Shizuku could defeat Touka, then she should be the champion of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, right?
Ikki wanted to say something, but he couldn’t since even he could see the difference in ability between Shizuku and Touka. However, Shizuku was, after all, his little sister and his pseudo lover, so he wanted to try to say something.
“The result isn’t clear yet, right? Shizuku might win.”
However, Arisu beat Ikki first since, unlike Ikki, who thought by his logic. He used his emotions, thinking there was a chance for Shizuku to win.
Tsukasa only smiled and didn’t say much. His expression clearly told them it was better for them to watch than talk.
“Why don’t you say anything?” Arisu couldn’t read the mood.
“Since whatever I have said is useless. If you truly believe Shizuku will win, then there’s no need to discuss this, right? It’s better to wait until the result comes out,” Tsukasa said calmly.
“….”
Arisu wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Ikki. “Ikki-kun, do you think the same?”
Ikki thought about Touka’s power since he had seen her video fighting at the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. Even if his little sister was strong, he knew his little sister hadn’t reached the level where she could fight with Touka. “As Tsukasa has said previously, it’s better to watch the fight so we can see the result.”
Arisu opened his mouth before he closed it again. He knew they were right since even he also didn’t think Shizuku could win deep inside.
Then, the match they had been waiting for was about to start.
Whether it was Shizuku or Touka entering the stage at the same time, facing each other without looking away.
Touka had taken off her glasses. While it might make her unable to see because of her myopia, she has created an ability where could sense the electrical impulses of the people around her.
On the other hand, Shizuku had this solemn expression since she didn’t expect she would have to fight against Touka.
Frankly, Tsukasa had to admit Shizuku’s luck was so bad.
Not only did Shizuku have to fight him in the first match, but she also had to fight Touka in the middle of the competition.
Unlike Ikki, who got a weak opponent one after another, Shizuku’s opponents were super opponents that couldn’t be beaten unless one had the power to destroy a country or two.
It might seem exaggerated, but Tsukasa felt how strong he and Touka were.
‘That’s why I don’t think the competition is fair.’
After all, the opponents were selected randomly, so the strong couldn’t show their strength when they faced the strongest. Some decently strong were lucky since they only met a weak one who made them able to be qualified as a participant in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.
Still, Tsukasa wondered whether the Kurogane house was going to complain to the Hagun Academy after all their princess was bullied. Her loss to Tsukasa was unexpected, but this fight with Touka would make the Kurogane complain to the Hagun Academy since just another loss, it would make Shizuku lose her qualification to become a participant in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.
“Let’s go ahead!”
With the sound of a buzzer, the match between Touka and Shizuku started.
Shizuku understood the power of Touka, so she didn’t dare to get close to Touka. Instead, she attacked her from a distance with shards of ice.
However, those attacks were easily dodged by Touka.
Touka didn’t like to hold back, so she directly used all of her power. She increased her physical ability with her lightning manipulation, moving from one place to another like she was teleporting.
“Shippu Jinrai!”
*Zap!* *Zap!* *Zap!*
Her figure couldn’t be seen, and only a trance of electricity could be seen from time to time.
This put intense pressure on Shizuku, and she knew she couldn’t lose no matter what!
‘I can’t lose! I can’t lose!’
Shizuku screamed inside her heart and covered the entire stage with vapor.
However, Touka ended this match instantly.
Touka dashed in front of Shizuku at a speed that couldn’t be tracked with eyes, or rather she had disappeared in the eyes of Shizuku. However, it was normal since she was using the Trackless Step, making her existence naturally ignored by Shizuku.
When Touka appeared in front of Shizuku, she unsheathed her sword faster than Shizuku could react before sheathing it back.
“Raikiri,” Touka said calmly.
“…”
Everyone gasped and couldn’t believe what they had seen.
After all, it was so easy for Touka to defeat Shizuku!
While Touka was standing leisurely, Shizuku fell down to the ground.
Arisu was dumbfounded, and Ikki sighed in frustration.
Ikki knew Touka was strong, but he didn’t expect she would be this strong!
Ikki could have Shizuku do something, but who would have thought she was easily defeated?
‘If it’s me, what should I do?’
Ikki tried to imagine how he could defeat Touka, but all the scenarios on his head were mercilessly cut down since the ultra-electromagnetic Battoujutsu wasn’t a joke. Unless he went all out and even broke the speed of sound, he wouldn’t be able to defeat Touka.
Ikki then glanced at Tsukasa and saw him calm as ever. He knew he wasn’t talented, and he was the worst knight in this academy. His path was rough, but he wasn’t alone now, and he would become stronger!
Ikki made up his mind to become the strongest for Shizuku!
While Kanata nodded since this was a result she had expected, Stella was full of fighting spirit, thinking she wanted to fight Touka.
However, Tsukasa, on the other hand, was thinking of something.
‘Should I name my technique?’
“……..”
