“I announce that this match is invalid!”
When these words were announced, they were in a daze for a while before the majority of them agreed.
“Okay, this match is invalid!”
“Follow Tsukasa no matter what!”
“Tsukasa forever!”
“…….”
Tsukasa was speechless and might have realized that he underestimated his charm. His charm was just illogical and couldn’t be described with any logic. While he often heard how Freya often told him that they could control the world with just their charm, he didn’t think too much back then, but now, he felt it was possible.
‘It’s dangerous…’ Tsukasa thought, but he quickly told the reason why he said this match was invalid. “Don’t you all feel unreasonable deciding on the candidates for the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival through this method? Some of us have to fight a tough battle, yet some have to fight weak opponents and win. Don’t you think it is unreasonable?”
Hearing his words, many people agreed, especially those who had lost their qualifications yet felt they had a right to enter since they were strong. There were many such people, such as Hagure Sisters, Momotani the Heavy Tank, Shizuya Kirihara, and many others. Those people had lost their qualifications, and they would be lying if they didn’t feel unwilling since they couldn’t participate in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.
Everyone felt they had the right to enter this Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, so…
“So let’s make the return match! Those who believe that they’re strong shouldn’t feel afraid to have a fight again, right? Show everyone that you’re strong enough to represent everyone!!”
When Tsukasa thought he had lost his qualification before, he thought to ask Kurono to set up a “return match,” giving him a chance to participate by stealing the right to participate from the participants. He might have qualified to enter the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival and didn’t need to do the “return match,” but there were a few people he wanted to help since he believed they shouldn’t be buried in this place.
Hearing his words, everyone was filled with fiery excitement.
“Let’s do the return match!”
“Yeah, I believe I can win this time!”
Those who had lost their qualification felt they should be the one who got the qualification, and when they encountered this situation, how could they give up?
“That guy…” Kurono sounded helpless but somehow also felt happy inside when she saw what had happened. While it was troublesome to set up the return match when the crowd had agreed, it was hard for her to reject, yet did she want to reject?
The answer was obvious, right?
Still, Kurono’s focus broke when she heard Nene’s worried tone.
“Geezer, what happened? You aren’t dying, right?” Nene looked at Nangou worriedly. It might be strange for her to feel worried about this God of War, but the appearance of this old man was so pale, and blood kept dripping from his nose.
“Hohoho, nothing. I have gotten something worse before, and don’t curse that I’m dying! I can still live another decade!” Nangou complained while trying to wipe his overflowing nosebleed. Still, he felt slight regret for what he was doing previously.
“I’ll call the medic,” Kurono quickly said and opened her communication device.
“Thanks.” Nangou looked up, trying to stop his nosebleed. He knew that if he wasn’t strong enough, the consequence might be worse.
“So, what’s wrong?” Nene asked since she was curious about what had happened since she knew this old man was healthy, so he couldn’t have such a serious nosebleed.
“I tried to peek at his sword technique,” Nangou answered quietly.
“….” Nene and Kurono.
“So?”
“I won’t do it next time.” Nangou shook his head since somehow he felt he saw several universes planted into his mind, overflooding him with raw information, which turned him into this state.
“……”
Nene and Kurono were silent, and it was better to keep quiet about what had happened here.
Tsukasa noticed what had happened to Nangou, but he didn’t care and looked at Ikki. “Don’t lose next time.”
Ikki was in a daze, starting at Tsukasa.
“Hey, what were you saying?! Ikki-kun has lost his qualification as a knight! There is no way he can join again! Don’t you know what he has been doing?!” Akaza quickly got up and scolded Tsukasa. After all, his promotion could only be done when he could kick Ikki from this school.
Tsukasa only stared at Akaza silently and said, “Kagami.”
“Okay~!” Kagami was so happy, especially when she could help her fellow journalists.
Then, suddenly all the screens filled with evidence of what had really happened to Ikki and what Akaza had done secretly before the back.
Some people might have questioned this before, but how could the Ethics Committee control the regional media?
The answer was simple, and it was through the right to broadcast the King of Knights (KOK) Tournament.
The KOK was extremely famous for fighting programs in the League of Mage-Knight Nations. A lot of money came from this program since many people loved to see the fight between Blazers, using their amazing abilities with each other, and all of their nights.
If the media didn’t listen to Akaza, they would have trouble getting the broadcasting right, so they listened to his every word and put slander on Ikki even though they didn’t really want to. After all, even though Ikki was known as the “Weakest One,” he was still a young master of the Kurogane Household.
Even Ikki was an heir of a famous family, alright?
However, with Tsukasa releasing all the evidence and all that had happened in the background, everything had been cleared, and Ikki’s name was clear.
On the other hand, what would happen to Akaza was obvious to all.
Watching what had happened around him, Akaza was pale and tried to stop it, but it was too late since this was a live broadcast, and almost half of the population of this country watched this match since they wanted to see Tsukasa. Even if he wanted to erase what had happened, it was already impossible, especially when Tsukasa also had set up many threads talking about the dirty things he had done.
Akaza knew his career was over now.
Tsukasa didn’t care about Akaza and looked at Ikki. “Do you need help to stand up?”
Ikki stared at Tsukasa for a while and felt his eyes moist. “Thanks, Tsukasa.” He felt this was the feeling of having a best friend.
“What are you crying for? If you lose on the return match, then you can’t become a mage-knight.” Tsukasa helped Ikki with his arm and helped him to stand up.
“Thanks.”
“Stop, get the snot on my shirt, bastard!”
It might be because they were moved by the duel between two knights and the friendship between the two. Then, everyone stood up and clapped their hands warmly, continuously calling the names of the two knights as long as they could.
Still watching his figure, several women thought to reward him well tonight.
