Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

With the participants of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival from the Hagun Academy chosen, all the participants went to the training camp. However, the facility of the Hagun Academy on the Okutama was attacked previously, so they decided to change the location of the training for security reasons.

As for the location of the training camp, it was the facility that was owned by the Kyomon Academy.

When Tsukasa heard the announcement, he didn’t feel surprised, but he felt it was slightly strange. The location of the Kyomon Academy was in the Tohoku prefecture. It was pretty far from the Hagun Academy, so if they chose another facility, wouldn’t it be better for them to choose the Tonrou Academy?

After all, the Tonrou Academy was located in the Kanto region.

Still, Tsukasa didn’t complain since there were many good hot springs around the Kyomon Academy, so he thought it might be good to bring Stella to learn about the culture of this country, such as a mixed bath.

As her lover, Tsukasa must guide her well.

However, Tsukasa must admit this training camp was just a waste of time for him. His level had exceeded everyone in this place, yet he still came since he heard Nangou Torajirou was going to become the lecturer on this training camp, so how could he not feel excited?

After becoming a Desperado, Tsukasa had always been studying this new power by himself. In other words, he just blindly researched this new power by instinct and logic. It was like walking on a path no one had ever stepped on. However, if he had Nangou’s guidance, he wouldn’t be like a blind person who didn’t know where to walk, and it could also increase the speed of his progression.

Anyway, Tsukasa anticipated the training camp, which would be held at the training camp of the Kyomon Academy.

—

Many gazes were focused on the stage.

Even though Touka and Stella were fighting against each other, only a few people looked in their direction since most of them looked in the direction of Ikki and Tsukasa.

Yet all the journalists that came from the Kyomon Academy or Tonrou Academy focussed on his figure since they must admit the real one was even more handsome!

On the other hand, Kagami was in a daze, and her body was hard to calm down since she expected something to happen in a few nights.

“What’s wrong, Kagami?” Arisuin asked with a smile.

“Nothing, Alice-chan,” Kagami answered with a smile, showing that she was a pure girl that didn’t know the difference between a man and a woman.

After they arrived at the training camp, Ikki didn’t hesitate and asked Tsukasa to fight against each other. Yet the result was obvious. He was beaten mercilessly. The sword technique was one thing, but the difference in physical ability between them was just too far apart.

Ikki’s body might be similar to those of Level 3 adventurers, but Tsukasa’s body was a combination of Level 5 adventurer and Level V Exceed. Even an idiot could tell who would win between them.

However, Ikki learned a lot during his spar with Tsukasa, and his sword technique became stronger. Still, he knew that he wasn’t the only one who became stronger, but Tsukasa also became stronger, absorbing all of his sword technique mercilessly. It made him smile bitterly somehow and made him understand the feelings of those opponents whose techniques he had stolen in the past.

Frankly, it didn’t feel good.

Truthfully, if possible, Ikki wanted to ask about Tsukasa’s last technique, which Tsukasa used in their last battle. He remembered his blades became two, which should be impossible, so was it his imagination?

‘No, I’m sure it’s real.’

Ikki believed that Tsukasa was really able to create a miracle where he was able to produce two swords in one swing. As a swordsman, he really wanted to see this technique again, yet he also knew the moment he was able to see it was when he died.

Tsukasa knew what kind of thought Ikki wanted to see, but he wouldn’t show his technique again. After all, his technique wasn’t some kind of show, and it was a difficult technique that he produced to kill or defeat someone. Moreover, even if he showed it, he also believed that Ikki wouldn’t be able to produce it since this wasn’t just mere swordsmanship. Instead, it was related to his ability to go to another world.

This technique was the byproduct of it.

Frankly, while this technique was powerful, especially when he could produce many blades in just one swing where no one could escape, it was still a frivolous technique. After all, he needed many blades to slay someone. Instead of such a technique, it was better to create a flash slash where one couldn’t escape.

However, Tsukasa knew it was impossible for him to create such a technique since speed wasn’t his forte. Instead, it might be possible for him to create a technique where he could slay someone with just one slash.

‘Unblockable slash?’

Tsukasa thought on his mind before Ikki was defeated.

“…..” Ikki looked at the blade on his neck and let out a sigh. He then looked at Tsukasa and asked, “Are you going to use nodachi forever?”

“It depends on the situation.”

While Tsukasa had gotten used to nodachi, he would use other swords or weapons if the situation called for it. He then looked at Ikki and said, “By the way, Ikki, don’t try to mimic me. You have your own way of using the sword, right?” Leaving such words, he walked toward the stage where Touka and Stella fought each other, but frankly, he could see how Stella was being beaten mercilessly there.

However, Ikki, who had heard his words, was silent since he must admit he would be lying if he didn’t have an obsession with copying Tsukasa’s sword technique, but if it wasn’t possible…

“……..”

Ikki clenched his fists and thought that he wouldn’t give up!

Tsukasa wasn’t sure whether Ikki would listen to his words or not, but he could tell that Ikki wouldn’t listen to his words. However, he didn’t care much. Instead, he really thought that Stella wasn’t Touka’s opponent at all. Still, it was obvious that if Touka could be beaten easily, how could she become the champion of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival?

Tsukasa was also partly to blame since he helped a lot with Touka’s training. Meanwhile, while he also trained with Stella, the time she spent training with him wasn’t long. Still, the speed of Stella getting stronger was really scary, and somehow he understood why this girl was the most genius Blazer ever born in this world.

When Tsukasa watched their fight, suddenly he turned and saw a frail old man in kimono walking toward him with a smile, yet no one noticed his figure as if he wasn’t there. “Old man.”

“Yo, Tsukasa.” Nangou greeted Tsukasa with a smile. Usually, he would start with a sexual joke, especially when Touka and Stella were there, but this time, he directly said, “Follow me.” After that, he didn’t say much and left by using the Trackless Step, ignoring the fact Tsukasa might not be able to follow him.

Tsukasa also didn’t say nonsense and followed Nangou since he knew their training wasn’t something that could be seen by everyone.
