Chapter 8

When Tsukasa smiled, it felt like the world was blooming with many beautiful flowers.

If Touka and Kurono had to give an example, it was like when the main character in the shoujo manga saw many beautiful flowers around the male lead.

This is how they describe their situation right now.

However, while this situation caused them to be unable to look away and their hearts were almost robbed away, the words that came out of his mouth were unbelievable.

“Sorry, what did you say?” Kurono asked while chanting that she had a husband and a daughter. She had a husband and a daughter, so she couldn’t betray them!

Kurono kept repeating those words in her mind so she wouldn’t be swayed by Tsukasa.

However, the intense smell that came from her body couldn’t be hidden, and Tsukasa knew that his chance to get Kurono was huge.

As for Touka, she had already lost her mind and kept watching Tsukasa on the side, thinking about what they would do when they stayed in the same dorm later.

Tsukasa almost forgot about how dangerous his smile was. While he might have an interest in Kurono, he was just greedy for her body. Still, when he remembered the trouble that was still lurking around him, he quickly erased his smile and put on his usual expression.

“Can I fight you, Kurono-director?”

When this question fell, the affectionate atmosphere around them disappeared, and there was only an intense pressure that came from Kurono.

“Oh? You want to fight me?”

Kurono still had her cigarette in her mouth as she stared at Tsukasa with a cold expression. While she might have retired because of her marriage to her husband, she was still a former 3rd rank of the King of Knights (KOK) A-League.

Her power was undoubted, and she also had her own pride, so when a random student that she just knew for a moment asked her for a fight, she couldn’t help but show the reality around them.

While Tsukasa’s courage was something to be praised for, it was just plain stupid to ask for a fight for someone that couldn’t be defeated!

“Tsukasa…” Touka cast a worried expression toward Tsukasa.

However, Tsukasa was still calm and said, “I don’t need to win, and all I need is to give a performance that will satisfy you, right?” This was a rare chance to understand the power of the powerful Blazer in this world. How could he let go of this chance?

Kurono couldn’t help but smile when she heard his words. “Okay, interesting. I’m also getting tired, sitting in my office all the time.” She stood up and stretched her body a bit, causing her alluring body to be shown through her tight professional black suit.

Tsukasa looked away slightly, which caused Kurono to smile and Touka to feel wary of Kurono.

Kurono thought that Tsukasa’s reaction was quite cute, but even so, she thought to teach him some lessons. “Alright, let’s go to the Third Training Field so we can start your test right away.”

With those words, Tsukasa nodded and was ready to face his first battle in the Hagun Academy.

—

Even if most students took a break during the spring break, many students stayed at the school to train.

The appearance of Touka, Kurono, and Tsukasa together gathered the attention of every student who happened in the school at this moment, especially when the three of them walked into the dome-shaped training field.

“What’s happening?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Should we follow them?”

Those students had nothing to do, so they followed those three without hesitation.

There were many training fields at the Hagun Academy, considering there were many students at this academy.

When Tsukasa entered one of those training fields, he observed it curiously. He could roughly guess that the interior of the training field included a space for combat with a roughly hundred-meter diameter, with audience seats built on a bowl shape around that space.

While Tsukasa observed the surrounding area and checked whether there was something that he could use for his battle with Kurono, Touka cleared up the space for the duel between Kurono and Tsukasa.

The students who practiced on the third training field also moved away when they heard Touka’s words since Touka had that much prestige in this school, and the appearance of Kurono also surprised them.

But there was another question on their mind.

“Who is that?”

“Is that a new student?”

“He is so handsome!”

“Ah, I wonder whether he has a girlfriend.”

Whether female or male, those students couldn’t look away from Tsukasa and kept staring at him. They knew that he was a new student, and they wanted to get to know him, but when they heard that Kurono and Tsukasa were going to have a match, they couldn’t help but show shock and pessimism, thinking that Tsukasa would lose. Still, they took their cameras and took Tsukasa’s photo without hesitation since it was their first time to see someone so handsome.

However, Tsukasa ignored them and checked the material of the field.

“Did you see something that can make you win this mock battle?” Kurono said relaxedly, standing in the middle of the stage, watching Tsukasa, who observed the training field with ease.

“No.” Tsukasa shook his head and said, “There’s nothing here that can help me in this mock battle.”

“You’re going to give up then?” Kurono asked with a joking tone.

“No way,” Tsukasa said without hesitation.

“Is that so?” Kurono threw her cigarette on the ground before she turned off its light with her high heels. “Then I hope that you won’t disappoint me.”

“I won’t.” Tsukasa didn’t smile again since he was afraid that he might cause the entire students in this place to go berserk.

Touka, who had set up the training field with a tablet, came to Tsukasa and asked worriedly, “Tsukasa, are you sure that you want to do this mock battle?”

“I know that you’re worried about me, Touka-nee, but I have almost perfected that technique,” Tsukasa said as he stretched out.

“Really?” Touka was surprised when she heard Tsukasa’s answer, and she became curious.

“So you don’t need to worry, and I’m sure that Kurono-director won’t hurt me.” Tsukasa then took off his hoodie, causing some parts of his body to be shown.

*Gulp!*

It was only a small part of his abs, but everyone’s eyes were quickly glued toward his body, and they couldn’t help but gulp their salivae.

“Tsukasa!” Touka quickly protected Tsukasa and looked around warily since she knew how dangerous Tsukasa’s charm was. She then also looked in Kurono’s direction since it seemed she heard that Kurono also gulp.

However, Kurono only looked away toward the distance without looking in Tsukasa’s direction, making Touka sigh in relief.

Still, Kurono felt her heart beating so fast, thinking that she might do sorry for her husband if this continued. But, on the other hand, she was also glad that her reflex was fast enough for her to look away, or else her eyes would also be glued to Tsukasa’s body.

Tsukasa gave his hoodie to Touka, leaving only a black t-shirt, skinny jeans, and sneakers, then said, “Just watch me, Touka-nee.”

Touka looked at Tsukasa and thought that he really had grown up. She nodded with a smile and said, “I will wait for you outside.”

“Yes.” Tsukasa nodded.

“Done with the conversation?” Kurono asked.

“Thank you for waiting, Kurono-director,” Tsukasa said.

“No problem.” Kurono shook her head and asked, “Should we begin?”

“Yes.” Tsukasa nodded.

“Todo.” Kurono looked at Touka since Touka was the one who would become the referee of this mock battle.

“Yes.” Touka nodded as she held the tablet to start the match. “We’ll now start the mock battle.” She looked at Tsukasa and said, “Tsukasa, in the mock battle, you don’t give physical damage to the opponent, but drain the other person’s physical strength. Therefore, your Device should be deployed in illusionary form.”

Tsukasa nodded, and Kurono suddenly said, “You should deploy your Device first.” He looked at Kurono for a moment and knew that this woman was still looking down on him, but he didn’t really mind since he knew the huge difference between their strengths.

Everyone was watching closely what kind of Device Tsukasa would employ, but no one would expect his Device would be so unique.

Tsukasa opened his right palm, and black luster particles suddenly fluttered around his surroundings before forming a metallic futuristic black cube on his right palm.

“Let’s go ahead!”

Along with the synthesis voice that sounded on the entire training field, the mock battle between Tsukasa and Kurono started!
