Chapter 388: What should they do? Fight!

After the “selection match,” the students of Hagun Academy ushered in a rare break since the teachers and the staff would be focused on the representative of the school for the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, so instead of staying in the school, the majority of them decided to go home.

However, there were also a minority of people who decided to stay since the fight between Tsukasa and Ikki made their blood boil with excitement, so they decided to stay and trained hard. Their hard work also affected many teachers, and those teachers also helped them to become stronger.

Yet, they didn’t know that when they trained hard, they were oblivious to the danger that was about to come.

The silhouette of six people could be seen from a distance walking into the entrance of the Hagun Academy.

While few people noticed their appearance from the beginning, they thought those six people were just guests. However, when those people got close, they only realized they weren’t guests. Instead, they were all enemies.

“Ev—”

Before he was able to say anything, he was defeated and fell.

“Is this the level of the Hagun Academy?”

“They’re just normal students, after all. What do you expect?”

“That’s true.”

“Our goal is to be their representative, and they’ll come soon, so why don’t we give them a little surprise?”

Hearing the voice of their leader, even though they didn’t think of this person as a leader at all, they did their jobs since this was tasked, and they had to do it.

While something was happening at the Hagun Academy, the representatives of the Hagun Academy were quite restless, especially Touka.

Yet Touka’s concern was understandable. After all, their situation was so strange!

The conspiracy of the Akatsuki Academy had already been known, yet they didn’t have the means to contact or report this problem to anyone. The commutation was cut down like their smartphone suddenly busted, the wifi had a problem so suddenly, and there were many other weird things.

When they decided to go back, their vehicles’ tires and machines were in problem. It wasn’t until the end of training camp that the vehicle returned to normal, but they couldn’t contact anyone. They were trapped by a series of misfortunes, making them wonder if the attack on the Hagun Academy by the Akatsuki Academy was inevitable.

Frankly, they must admit that this series of accidents was quite creepy.

“Calm down, Touka-nee.” What could Tsukasa do besides calm Touka down?

The only thing he was glad about was that Kanata and Ayase weren’t at the school.

“What do you think about this, Tsukasa? Do you think all of this is a coincidence?” Stella asked with a frown.

“No.”

“No?”

Everyone was startled. Deep in their hearts, they hoped everything that happened to them previously was just an accident, but Tsukasa poured cold water on them, telling them that everything was being controlled.

Was there such an organization who were so desperate?

Or was there a spy among them besides Arisuin?

Or even worse, was there an ability that could control all of those accidents?

If possible, they hoped it would be the first or the second since they were easier to solve, but if it was the third?

“The ability to control coincidence?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“Probably.” Tsukasa nodded, telling them about his strange experience with Stella previously.

“Huh? Is there such an ability?” Stella was dumbfounded.

“This… isn’t this ability too strong?” Kagami was quite scary.

Everyone was also the same since they felt this ability was too strong.

“We can’t confirm this person’s ability yet, but without a doubt, this person’s ability must be related to the causation manipulation.”

This type of ability was, without a doubt, the strongest among all the systems of Noble Art.

The ability to manipulate fate.

One could imagine how buggy this ability was.

Utakata Misogi’s ability was also one of this system, but even so, his ability wasn’t as buggy as this Blazer.

Everyone nodded, hearing Tsukasa’s words. Unfortunately, they hadn’t seen the Blazers yet, so it was too early to jump to a conclusion.

Still, if Tsukasa had to guess, this person should have the ability to manipulate an event, luck, or in the worse case, an ability to wish for whatever this person wanted. Frankly, if he hadn’t become a Desperado, he would have a headache thinking of a countermeasure of this ability. However, he had become a Desperado, so he naturally realized the strangeness around him.

It might be subtle, and no one would think that it was strange, but this feeling when he thought everything was normal, without any problems, was abnormal. It was just his guess, but this person wanted to target him somehow.

His expression turned cold, making him realize that he had to take extreme measures to handle this problem.

‘Well, I lack the ability to manipulate fate, so I’ll take it.”

Then, his expression turned normal again, before his expression became solemn when his sense of smell noticed an unbelievable existence nearby.

‘This…?’

Tsukasa looked in the direction of the Hagun Academy and then looked at Kagami before he made up his decision. “Kagami.”

“Hmm?”

—

The bus moved without trouble, and before long, they were able to see the Hagun Academy from a distance, yet they didn’t see happiness or relief when they saw their school after a long time. Instead, they were dumbfounded and also felt angry about what had happened in their school!

“How cruel!”

“How dare they…!”

“How could they do this…?!”

Even though they had prepared for the attack of the Akatsuki Academy, they didn’t expect this academy would be so brutal.

Their beautiful school had gone now since it was covered by burning red flames. It was burning red that they could see from a distance. Black smoke swelled up, showing how severe the damage was caused by the students of the Akatsuki Academy.

“Calm down. We can beat them up when we arrive later,” Tsukasa said.

Even though they were angry, they tried to calm themselves since they knew nothing would come out if they lost control. Instead, Tsukasa drove the bus in the place of the driver, and before long, they arrived at the school ground. They quickly came out and saw that their school had been ruined. They could also have few students had they fallen on the ground.

“You don’t need to worry. We haven’t killed anyone.”

Fortunately, no one was dying, and all of them were still alive.

“Hey, you guys are too late!”

“We have been waiting too long.”

“Let’s just finish our job.”

Then six figures walked out of the burning building, showing the appearance of their enemies. It was their first time meeting the members of the Akatsuki Academy, but instantly, the confrontation between them had already started. It was a clash that didn’t lose to the temperature of the burning flame in the background.

Even if they had only talked a few sentences, there was only one answer for their conflict, and that was to fight until they had defeated their enemies!
