Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Ikki Kurogane vs Kugayama Tsukasa!

When this news was announced, it brought a shock to everyone!

Ikki was a famous figure now since the news about him was everywhere. He was known as the “weakest,” yet he could win many of his fights without losing a single match. Everyone who saw his fight also started to change their perception of him. They thought he was amazing, but some of them doubted him since they thought he relied on the power of the Kurogane Household to win. After all, the Kurogane Household was a famous family in this country, and they didn’t lack money, so they thought Ikki used the money, and the power of the Kurogane Household, to win.

However, everyone knew everything was just a tasteless rumor since Ikki won by his own power, so no one thought much about this rumor. Still, everything changed a week ago after he was caught by the Ethics Committee.

The Ethics Committee used its authority to slander Ikki’s reputation. By then, his reputation had turned stinky, and many people hated him. The people who had a bad impression of Ikki were happy, and those who were neutral while they didn’t say anything thought to stay away from Ikki.

However, some people still believed in Ikki.

After Ikki won his first qualification match, he started to enter many people’s eyes, and they approached him on their initiative, wanting him to teach them. After all, it was every Blazers’ aspiration to become stronger, and his swordsmanship, while they thought it couldn’t match Tsukasa, was okay.

The public was also the same since they thought Ikki was a bad student.

However, that image slowly changed over the past few days when a rumor about the Ethics Committee, which used its authority arbitrarily, tried to take the qualification of a student from becoming a mage-knight forcefully.

This rumor might be small at first, but it slowly became bigger and bigger, like a snowball. Until then, it was unstoppable and almost out of control.

Fortunately, the Ethics Committee moved fast and controlled the situation. Still, if they didn’t do this, the League of Mage-Knight Nations might come and ask about their qualification and might shuffle, fire, and change many members of this organization. However, they had to solve this matter quickly, so they set up a duel of Ikki against Kugayama Tsukasa.

When the name of Ikki’s opponents was announced, the public became out of control.

After all, many people knew about this name, and even if they didn’t, their eyes were wide open and glued to the screen when they saw his appearance. There was only one decision on their minds when they saw him, whether it was a high school girl, university student, married woman, a mother of few children, or even a grandma, there was only one thought in their minds, and all of them wanted to have his children.

Even if Ikki’s popularity wasn’t bad, it was too pale when it was compared to Tsukasa.

Instantly, 99,999% of the people who saw the news and about the match became his fans without hesitation.

Only a few people, such as Shizuku and Arisuin, still believed in Ikki. Still, secretly, Arusuin bought photos of Tsukasa, which were sold by Kagami.

Still, what could Shizuku do?

Anyway, there was nothing that Shizuku could do besides waiting for her older brother. She was also slightly haggard since no one would think that Ikki would win. Instead, most of them told her that it was better for Ikki to gracefully step down and admit defeat.

Her answer was simple, and she just blasted them with her magic.

It was also because of this that she was punished by staying at her dorm, and she hadn’t come out.

Even Aruisuin decided to go out since he could see how crazy Shizuku was.

When Shizuku was alone in her room, suddenly, the door of her room was knocked on. She wanted to ignore it, but when she heard this voice, she reluctantly got up and opened the door. Outside, she saw him, her brother’s opponent. She didn’t have a good expression and just asked curtly, “Did you come here to tell my brother to give up?” She didn’t remember how many times people had persuaded her. After all, she also didn’t think that Ikki was able to win.

Kugayama Tsukasa’s strength was just unfathomable.

“No, why should I do that?” Tsukasa said simply, then took out something from his pocket. It was a crystal clear bottle filled with a glistening liquid which was so beautiful.

Even if Shizuku didn’t know what it was, she could tell it was expensive.

“Send this to Ikki. This will help him to feel better when he’s fighting me.” Tsukasa didn’t care about Shizuku’s reaction and just shoved the potion he got from Danmachi to her. “I don’t want to have a boring fight, so tell him that I am waiting for him at the stage.” While he knew that Ikki wasn’t his opponent, he had a feeling Ikki would give him a surprise that he would never think of.

Still, frankly, if there were people that could become his opponents, then it might be the strongest Blazer in the Union, Abraham Carter; the strongest swordsman, Edelweiss; the leader of the League of Mage-Knight Nations, Arthur Bright; the founder of the Shinryuu Temple, the Great Teacher; and the strongest mercenary, Naseem al-Salem. Those five were probably the only ones who could make him serious.

As for Nangou Torarijou, Tsukasa felt this old man was too old, and it wasn’t fun to fight the elderly.

Still, if possible, Tsukasa wanted Stella, Touka, and Ikki to become Desperados since that way, his days would be even more eventful.

Tsukasa knew he was already so strong, but was it enough?

Tsukasa didn’t think so since he knew there were many mysterious things in this world, especially when he used his power to create a backdoor to the global monitoring system. Using this program, he could gain information about this world. In other words, he was “omniscient.”

Still, what was important was the match he was about to have with Ikki.

Shizuku looked at the thing which was given by Tsukasa, and even though she felt slightly suspicious, she also felt there was no need for him to play a trick. After all, if he wanted to, he could defeat Ikki, especially when Ikki’s state was so bad.

In the end…

“Thank you.” Shizuku bowed her head and felt grateful toward Tsukasa.

Tsukasa only waved his hand and left.

The battle between Tsukasa and Ikki was inevitable, and no one could stop it anymore.

Everyone was also excited and wanted to watch this match quickly.

The atmosphere was suffocating, and the battle between the two best swordsmen in the Hagun Academy was about to kick off!
