76 The End of Chivalry of a Failed Knigh

"It… It is frightening… With such a scary thing the contender Xiao Qiangwei made run away the 95% of the contenders partecipating! But the most promising people are still in the arena."

Xiao Qiangwei: Well, well, well, who do I start with?

Shizuku and Ikki looked at each other and rushed at Xiao Qiangwei with a smile, Ikki used Ittou Shura to get faster at him while Shizuku used her abilities to help Ikki, Xiao Qiangwei just smirked and said.

Xiao Qiangwei: Show me your power, Ikki!

Ikki: With pleasure! Ittou Rasetsu!

Then he concentrated everything on a single instant and slashed at Xiao Qiangwei, who stood there, receiving the attack.

When the attack ended, there was just a scratch in Xiao Qiangwei's skin, but it didn't even penetrated enough to show a drop of blood, surprising Ikki and Shizuku, then Ikki fell on the ground right after that, being extremely tired and his body was damaged from the technique.

So Shizuku took Ikki and left the arena, leaving only Amane and Stella, Amane was thinking about withdrawing but Xiao Qiangwei just said.

Xiao Qiangwei: Where do you think you are going, Shion Amamiya?

Amane stopped his thoughts and turned towards him with shock and anger.

Amane: How do you know my name?!

Xiao Qiangwei: Let's say that after our encounter at the road, I asked someone to gather informations about you.

Amane was completely enraged and used Nameless Glory at him, but something abnormal happened.

The area around Xiao Qiangwei started to 'Glitch', because Xiao Qiangwei was never part of the Fate, he was not even recognized from the world, no one knew what happened, not even Amane and Xiao Qiangwei.

The glitches continued for a while, but Xiao Qiangwei didn't care because it didn't harm him, so he just walked forward, towards Amane, who started getting frightened from what was happening and took some steps back.

Amane: W-What are you?! How can Nameless Glory not even recognize you?!

Xiao Qiangwei creepily smiled and now was in front of Amane.

Xiao Qiangwei: I am the Evil God... I don't obey to Law, I manipulate it as I wish.

Then he just pushed Amane and he flew some meters away, and couldn't get up anymore.

"I sincerely don't know what happened, but now the final fight starts, the Crimson Princess, Stella Vermillion, an A-rank Blazer from Hagun Academy, against the Evil God, Xiao Qiangwei, probably unofficially the first S-Rank Blazer in the story, from the same school"

Stella: Qiangwei, I wish you to go all out against me.

Xiao Qiangwei smiled and then opened Purgatory, shocking once more everyone from the sudden boost, only the experts like Edelweiss and the teachers of the different school could sense that his power just multiplied of 5 times.

Xiao Qiangwei: Come, and show me what our training did to you!

Stella nodded and smiled, before rushing while using her golden flames as propulsory flames and got even faster at her man, then she slashed with as much strength she could muster from both her arms.

But Xiao Qiangwei just raised an arm and punched her, he hold back a bit to not damage her too much, but he still broke her Device and hit her in the chest, making her fly at supersonic speed against the wall, leaving her unconscious while she was still smiling.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, our new champion Xiao Qiangwei, from Hagun Academy, will be officially titled as the 'Unmatched' from the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, and no one else in future will take away his title unless he loses. The Festival is officially concluded."

Everyone screamed and cheered for Xiao Qiangwei, while he just walked towards Stella and took her unconscious body away with a smile.

[later]

Xiao Qiangwei arrived in an hospital and left Stella in a bed, then he sat somewhere and waited for her to wake up, meanwhile Ikki, Shizuku, Kurono,and Nene entered the room to congratulate with him.

Ikki: Congratulations Qiangwei, for your victory.

Shizuku: Yes, I was surprised when Ikki's special attack didn't do almost nothing at you.

Xiao Qiangwei: Well, just because my arm strength increased it doesn't mean my body remains weak.

Ikki: yeah... Well, it was a good clash...

Kurono: So, Qiangwei, how do you feel being called the 'Unmatched' from the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival?

Xiao Qiangwei: Honestly? It isn't much...

Nene: Qiangwei, can you tell me how you did increase your arm strength in such a short time? It increased of a whopping 50 tons in 4 days!!

Xiao Qiangwei: Sorry woman, you lost, you pay for it. I have not any obligations to tell you about anything.

Nene: Awww... C'mon...

Xiao Qiangwei: Oi, at least behave as a woman instead of a child.

Everyone laughed at it and chatted a bit with Xiao Qiangwei.

[3 days later]

This was the time that Stella needed to wake up, and found Xiao Qiangwei in a chair who was sleeping, Stella smiled and got up from the bed, then she silently walked towards him.

Then she sat on Xiao Qiangwei's lap and hugged him, waking him up.

Xiao Qiangwei: Eh? Oh Stella, you are awake.

Stella: So I lost the match, eh?

Xiao Qiangwei: In a single punch, they even called me the 'Unmatched' for the stunt I pulled at the start of the tournament.

Stella giggled and then she talked.

Stella: It suits you, you were always the strongest person I ever seen... Hey Qiangwei...

Xiao Qiangwei: Yes?

Stella: I want to ask a thing from you...

Xiao Qiangwei: Talk, I will try to see if I can do something.

Stella: the first is if you can go with me at Vermillion Empire to visit my family.

Xiao Qiangwei: We can even start now, I am strong enough to take you there in flight. But I have a request too.

Stella was curious, because it was the first time he really asked her to do something for him.

Stella: Yes?

Xiao Qiangwei: Will you marry me?

Stella's body trembled and some tears escaped from her eyes while she was looking at Xiao Qiangwei's eyes with a big smile.

Stella: Yes, I want to be your wife!

Then they hugged and closed their eyes, and stood like that for a long time.
