Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

When the students of the Akatsuki Academy left, Tsukasa looked at everyone. His body shone in the light and slowly dissipated.

“Sorry.”

Kagami, who had been hiding inside the bus, came out and looked at everyone with an apology expression.

Tsukasa didn’t join them. Instead, he left them. He asked Kagami to use her ability to create a clone of him to help everyone.

Kagami had the ability to manipulate the concept of “multiply.” If she had a talent as a swordsman, without a doubt, she would be powerful. Unfortunately, she didn’t, but it didn’t dampen her mood since there were many things that she could use with her ability. This ability was also the reason why she was able to get much information easily.

It was also the reason why Tsukasa could leave since he could rely on Kagami’s ability to fight.

Yet who would expect Amane’s ability to be so buggy?

Wish-fulfillment.

Frankly, there was no weakness in this ability. After all, once you fought him, you had to fight against fate itself. Even if he didn’t do anything, he could win. The only one who could defeat him was Desperado.

Tsukasa could become a Desperado, but if he did that, he would disappear instantly since Kagami didn’t have enough magic to support his clone. It was the reason why he decided to give up since he knew he couldn’t fight Amane’s unreasonable ability.

As for Sara’s ability which made her able to create a copy of Edelweiss, Tsukasa believed that he could defeat her since he knew there was a huge difference between the real one and the copy.

After all, Sara’s ability was different from Kagami’s.

If Sara had to draw and used her imagination to create Edelweiss, Kagami could multiply Tsukasa into two instantly.

As long as Kagami had enough magic, she could create more clones of him.

Frankly, Tsukasa wanted to have Kagami’s ability since if he had that ability, there was no need to be so complicated to create a “Tsubame Gaeshi.” After all, with her ability, as long as he swung his sword, he could create multiple slashes.

Yet even if he was greedy for her power, it didn’t mean he would steal her ability. Kagami was his woman, so everything could be discussed. Still, he could steal someone’s Blazer, so he wondered whether it was possible to create an ability to borrow or share their abilities with him.

However, this wasn’t the time for him to think about this matter.

“Sorry for making such a sudden decision,” Tsukasa apologized to everyone. After all, he could tell they were frustrated. While he didn’t care since it was part of the strategic retreat, it was different from them since the feeling of loss was uncomfortable.

“No, it’s not your fault. It’s because we’re too weak…” Stella understood why Tsukasa made such a decision. His clone would disappear soon. Even though she had said to leave everything to them, in the end, they still relied on him, which made her feel quite useless.

Touka also didn’t say anything, but even from her expression, it was easy to tell that she was frustrated.

Ikki and Shizuku also just stayed in silence.

After all, they all knew they could stand up without hurting because Tsukasa had protected them.

While Ouma might be powerful, and his wind manipulation ability could give him unlimited pseudo mana since the wind was everywhere, it was easy to defeat him.

The real problem was Sara and Amane.

Sara’s ability was clear to all of them. If her creation was just a few small fries, no one would care much. However, her ability to create the strongest swordsman in the world was a nightmare. Yet she was still better since Amane’s ability was the worst they had ever heard.

Even if they had fought, they had heard the conversation between Tsukasa, Ikki, and Amane. When they heard Amane had such an ability, they really wondered how to defeat Amane.

They knew that if Tsukasa wasn’t there, they would be beaten. In the worst case, they would die.

Fortunately, Tsukasa was there.

It was also the reason why they couldn’t blame his decision. After all, if they fought seriously, they might be injured and unable to participate in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. This was the situation that they had to avoid the most!

“So, where are you now?” Shizuku asked while looking at Tsukasa.

If Tsukasa was here, they would win easily, but he wasn’t here.

When they thought about this, somehow, they felt it might be related to Amane, which made their face ugly. They were sure Amane wished for their plan to succeed without any troubles, and that wish was granted, which made them speechless by how buggy Amane’s power was.

“I am going to save Alice now.” Tsukasa looked at everyone and said, “I know that you’re all angry and frustrated, but use that emotion to defeat them later on at the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. I can’t stay any longer. See you later.” His body vanished into a white light, and he was nowhere to be seen.

Hearing his words, they knew this wasn’t the time to mope around. Instead, they had to use this emotion to become stronger!

Yet somehow, they wondered what kind of person could make him appear in person.

—

Hiraga was in the car with Alice by his side, tied to by his thread. He whistled happily since his job was easy.

On the other hand, Arisuin had woken up, but he didn’t wake up. Instead, he stayed in silence, waiting for a chance to escape since he knew Hiraga wasn’t an opponent that he could take off lightly. Yet everything was too late since Hiraga had brought him to the headquarters of the Akatsuki Academy.

Hiraga sang a random song and was about to lift Arisuin, but his head was suddenly beheaded and thrown away.

“……” Arisuin.

“You alright, Alice?”

Arisuin looked up, and he was full of happiness at that moment. “Tsukasa!” He didn’t pretend to pass out anymore and quickly escaped from the thread before standing next to him. “How is Shizuku?”

“She’s alright, but everyone has lost,” Tsukasa said calmly as if it wasn’t his matter. He looked at Hiraga and knew that this person had been a puppet from the beginning to the end. Yet he didn’t feel surprised since it would be amazing if a puppeteer dared to appear in front of him, considering how weak he was.

“I see…” Arisuin sighed in relief and didn’t care whether they had lost or not since as long as Shizuku was alright, it was all good.

“Instead of worrying about her, why don’t you worry about us first?” Tsukasa suddenly said while looking at the figure that suddenly appeared at the entrance of the Akatsuki Academy.

Arisuin was also attracted by his words, and suddenly his face was so pale as if all the blood on his body was drained.

The strongest swordsman in the world.

“E-Edelweiss…”

Arisuin thought that they were dead now.
