Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

“I can tell from your expression that you don’t understand at all,” Tsukasa said with a smile.

Stella could only blush.

“It’s alright. It’s normal. However, my technique isn’t that complicated. The theory is simple.” Tsukasa then moved one spot to another spot as if he teleported. “This technique is similar to Shukichi.”

“Shukichi?” Stella thought for a moment and asked, “You mean, that mythical technique from East that is able to move from one place to another place in an instant, right?”

“That’s right.” Tsukasa nodded.

Shukichi or Reduced Earth is a technique to instantly cut down the distance between opponents.

Tsukasa’s instant learning also made him able to develop his technique faster or even instantly. He could also develop many techniques that he wanted to use.

Shukichi was one of the techniques that he had developed.

Tsukasa knew that while his ability was powerful, there were many limitations.

While Tsukasa could use this movement technique, there were many people who could run faster. His magic was also limited, so he knew that he needed to end the battle in an instant, so he developed this movement technique after trial and error.

Also, while Tsukasa called his technique Tsukichi, it didn’t mean he teleported.

Instead, Tsukasa just moved so fast that people thought he could teleport.

“Do you want to learn?” Tsukasa suddenly asked.

“Huh? Is that alright?” Stella would be lying if she wasn’t interested in Tsukasa’s technique since it was so powerful. He could move as fast as he teleported, and if she could also do the same, she could tell that she would become several times stronger. “Won’t your teacher scold you?”

“It’s alright. I have developed it myself,” Tsukasa said.

“You don’t have a teacher?” Stella was dumbfounded and asked, “Then how can you develop all of those powerful techniques?”

“I developed them by understanding my surroundings,” Tsukasa said as he observed his surroundings. He had many teachers, but that teacher wasn’t a human. Instead, his teachers were everything from nature. Whether it was an animal, earth, sky, water, theory of science, or anything that he could observe, he observed all of them so he could become stronger.

Stella wasn’t sure why, but for a moment, she could see that Tsukasa’s existence had become one with the world. His existence was in harmony, and he was just so beautiful at that moment. Her gaze was feverish, and she quickly looked away since she was afraid that she might attack him.

Still, there was one question that Stella wanted to ask, “But even so, is this alright to teach me? You have developed that technique by yourself, and I’m sure that you need many years to develop it, right? Is it okay to give your hard work to someone that you just know for one day?” While she knew that Tsukasa wanted him to become as strong as possible, she just couldn’t understand why he could teach her something that he had gained from his hard work.

“No, frankly, I didn’t intend to teach you. I just wanted to hear what you were going to answer after I asked you that question,” Tsukasa said with a smile.

“….” Stella.

“While I don’t intend to teach you my technique now, it doesn’t mean I won’t teach you in the future,” Tsukasa said.

“You’re going to teach me in the future?” Stella was surprised.

“Well, if you become a special existence to me, then I might teach you so that way, you can protect yourself.”

While Stella was beautiful, there were so many beautiful girls around him. He wasn’t stupid enough to give all his secrets just because he was lusting after a girl. Still, he could see that Stella’s personality was trustworthy, especially after he had fought her yesterday.

Tsukasa used 15 years of his time to understand magic and survive in this world.

The world was dangerous.

The girls were dangerous too.

Unless Tsukasa had a way to protect himself, he knew that he might die.

Tsukasa and Stella looked at each other for a moment before Stella looked away shyly.

“…How about I tell you how I can step into the air?” Tsukasa suddenly said to erase the awkwardness.

“Pl-Please!” Stella nodded hurriedly and tried to look at him while still feeling shy.

Tsukasa looked at Stella and felt that this girl was stupidly cute. “Well, Stella, you should understand how one practices their magic control, right?”

“Yeah.” Stella nodded.

There were many ways to practice magic control, from keeping the water floating without making it spill, shaping clay without touching it with their hands, and standing or running on the top of the water.

Many things could be developed with magic, but human time and talent were limited.

Instead of developing magic, it was better to develop their abilities since it was faster to become stronger that way.

If Tsukasa’s learning ability wasn’t so impeccable, he would also develop his ability instead of developing his magic or martial arts.

“While the molecules around the water are loose, but with magic, we can compress the molecules into solids, right? Then, in theory, if magic can compress the molecules in the water, shouldn’t it be possible to compress the molecules in the air too?”

Stella was speechless when she heard Tsukasa’s explanation. “It’s possible, but the control that we need to have over our magic is just too difficult, right?” While she could also walk on the surface of the water with her magic, if possible, she didn’t want to do it since it was troublesome and it was hard to concentrate since she needed to focus on the magic to control under her feet and magic to fight her opponent.

Stella’s magic control was only B+ Rank. It was far from perfect, but it wasn’t bad at all.

“Yeah, that’s why, instead of learning this technique from me, it’s better for you to create an ability to fly with your ability. After all, your ability is to manipulate the concept of the dragon.” Tsukasa looked at Stella with a smile and asked, “What kind of dragon can’t fly?”

“…….”

Stella stared at Tsukasa in a daze since she had never thought about this possibility.

Tsukasa noticed Stella’s expression, so he asked, “So you have never thought of it since you have always been focused on your flame manipulation ability?”

“…….” Stella.

“Well, from now on, besides training with your physical ability, you should also need to be creative with what you can do with your ability. After all, as long as it is related to a dragon, especially a fire dragon, you can develop those abilities, right?” Tsukasa said simply. While Stella might have lost to him, he knew how scary her potential was.

Also, if she didn’t limit herself with a fire dragon, but with other types of dragon too…

“……….”

Tsukasa thought he needed to become even stronger.

Stella nodded and felt that his words were right, but he might have been preoccupied with something else that she had never thought so.

Stella then looked at Tsukasa for a moment and asked, “Tsukasa, can I ask you something?”

“What’s wrong?”

“How can you be so strong? What drives you so much that you want to become stronger?” Stella asked. She just wanted to know everything about him, whether it was his power or what drove him to become stronger, since the more she learned about him, the more that she was attracted to him.

If Stella had to give an example, she was like a matter in the space absorbed by a black hole. She couldn’t just get away and be trapped in that space, but she just wanted to be trapped so that way, she could be with him forever.
