Chapter 60

The selection for the participants of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival started on Monday.

While Tsukasa’s match started on Wednesday, Stella, Kanata, and Touka started their match on Monday. His three girlfriends had a match today, and they came out early to the training field where their match would be held. However, he must admit that this academy was relatively free since they didn’t force their students to enter the class as long as they became stronger, making it possible for him to skip school and work on his business.

Tsukasa thought about watching their match after he ended his training in the morning, but suddenly he was pulled by Nene, who suddenly appeared before him.

“Come with me,” Nene said and pulled Tsukasa to the forest with her gravity manipulation.

“…..” Tsukasa wondered whether he would be raped right now.

“Where did you go yesterday? I have been searching for you?” After Nene took care of the problem yesterday, she thought to pull Tsukasa to this place to see the new ability that he had taken from Bisho. As for whether Bisho died or not, it wasn’t on her consideration, and she didn’t care at all. She was more curious whether Tsukasa could become stronger or not, but then she suddenly felt the power that she used to pull him had disappeared. “This…?” She didn’t hesitate and added more magic to Tsukasa.

“This is that guy’s power,” Tsukasa said and flared the magic power that he had absorbed from Nene. The dangerous yet alluring black aura flared up from his body before it disappeared from the vision.

It might seem that the magic that Tsukasa absorbed from Nene had disappeared, but he just controlled it and kept all of it inside his body.

“…..”

Nene understood all of that and her lips twitched since she was really jealous of Tsukasa’s ability to control his magic since it was so precise and subtle. As of now, the only person that she thought could match his control over magic was Kiriko.

Tsukasa then gathered all of the magic power that he absorbed from Nene on his right fist, causing it to give a hazy feeling to anyone who saw it.

However, Nene could tell how dangerous this fist was. “Punch me.”

“…” Tsukasa was dumbfounded and asked, “Are you sure?”

“Yeah.” Nene nodded and said, “We’ll be scolded by Ku-chan if we damage the forest.” She could imagine how Kurono might scold both of them if they damaged the forest.

“…Okay.” Tsukasa also believed in Nene’s power, so he didn’t hesitate to punch her. It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that he had some grudges against her.

Nene was, without a doubt, the current third-ranked Blazer in the KOK A-League, so even if she reacted quite late, she quickly used her “Mana Defense” to protect herself, but it was easily broken, which made her dumbfounded. However, she quickly used her gravity power to stop his movement.

Still, Tsukasa just absorbed Nene’s gravity ability that surrounded him without hesitation.

While Tsukasa wasn’t sure whether Bisho could use his entire body to absorb the attack that came toward him, he could use it on his entire body, so no part of his body could be attacked as long as he noticed it.

After all, the Blazer ability needs to be activated since it can’t be activated automatically.

While it was possible to activate the ability all the time, it would be a waste of magic since not everyone had a tremendous amount of magic like Stella.

While the ability he had stolen from Bisho was a good ability, with his limited magic, there was no way for him to activate this ability all the time. Instead, he could only activate it when his opponent’s magic was about to reach him before he immediately absorbed it.

However, it wasn’t a problem for Tsukasa since his battle instinct and sense of smell helped him determine the perfect time to activate his ability.

In other words, Tsukasa had almost become invincible now since no one could break his defense since all the attacks that came toward him would be absorbed.

If there was weakness, then it was likely that someone like Nene and Stella could use their brute strength to destroy his ability.

However, this problem could be erased after Tsukasa increased this ability by several folds, using his weapon concept manipulation ability.

The other weakness was if Blazer had the ability to negate magic, and Tsukasa knew one person who had that ability.

However, this ability was rare, and Tsukasa happened to be friends with the one who held this ability.

Besides that, Tsukasa didn’t have any weaknesses.

Nene watched Tsukasa, who kept absorbing her ability like a sponge, with amazement, then stopped her ability right away. “You have become stronger.”

“It’s all thanks to you,” Tsukasa said with a gentle smile since if it wasn’t because of Nene, he might not be given a chance to steal Bisho’s Device.

“Still, what happens to that guy after you have stolen his Device?” Nene asked.

“While he might lose his Device, he still has magic power, so he’s still powerful compared to a normal human, but of course, he’s several times weaker,” Tsukasa said simply. It was based on his hypothesis since he couldn’t steal the magic of someone, but he could steal their Device, so while they might lose their Device if he stole them, they wouldn’t lose their magic.

“Well, I don’t care about that guys, but do you want to steal more?” Nene asked with an excited smile since she knew many bad guys or underground arenas where there were many Blazer-type criminals. If Tsukasa could steal their Device, then she could tell that he would become more powerful, and they would have an amazing battle!

Tsukasa wasn’t sure whether Nene wanted to fight on the arena or a bed, but he could do it in any place, whether it was in the kitchen, living room, sofa, etc. However, he decided to refuse for now. “It’s alright. Let me get used to this ability first.”

“Okay.” Nene nodded and asked, “But how is your proficiency of this new ability if you compare it with that guy?”

“I should be better than him now,” Tsukasa said confidently since it was easy for him to learn anything as long as he wanted to, and it didn’t take a long time for him to master his new ability.

“Amazing!” Nene became even more excited than without hesitation. She held Tsukasa’s wrist without hesitation. “Since you have become stronger, let’s follow me.”

“Follow you? Where?” Tsukasa was dumbfounded when he was suddenly pulled.

Nene didn’t use magic and only her brute strength, so Tsukasa couldn’t absorb it, which made him helpless.

“Of course, it is to the hotel,” Nene said while looking at Tsukasa as if he was an idiot. “You can transform your Device into a condom shape, right? So we don’t need to buy one, right?”

“……”

While Tsukasa must admit that he was grateful for Nene, he must admit that his chastity would be in danger as long as he was by her side.

Not that Tsukasa had one, to begin with.

“Wait! Wait! Wait!”

After being dumbfounded, Tsukasa quickly ran away since he felt that it was too early and it wasn’t the time now.

Still, with this new ability, Tsukasa knew that his plan to start his training could be fastened, and he would start his training soon.
