Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

After the mock battle, Kurono and Tsukasa recuperated at the infirmary inside the school.

While Kurono was alright since even if she was cut down by Tsukasa, she was cut down by the illusionary form of his Device, so except for being tired, she didn’t have any problem with her body, she also wasn’t weak enough for someone to worry about her since she was a former 3rd rank of the King of Knights Tournament.

On the other hand, Tsukasa’s condition was more serious. Luckily, the advancement of medicine in this world was so advanced, especially after the development of the iPS capsule.

As long as there was an iPS capsule, one could heal their injuries in a single day.

However, even such a powerful medical machine also had a limit since it couldn’t regenerate one’s missing body or dark injuries that stayed on one’s body.

Still, even if Tsukasa’s injuries were quite severe, he didn’t need the iPS capsule, especially when he knew the condition of his body well.

While the amount of his magic was just F-rank, his body was naturally powerful.

Tsukasa wasn’t sure the reason, but it might be part of his gift or something.

It might be hard to explain how powerful his body was.

However, if Tsukasa had to give an example, there might be something similar to Wolverine’s regenerative healing factor inside his body. While it might not be as powerful as Wolverine, it could still heal the damaged or destroyed tissues and organs inside his body, which was why he didn’t need to worry about using his dangerous technique.

The dangerous technique that Tsukasa mentioned was the breathing technique that he used during the mock battle between him and Kurono.

Tsukasa only had F-rank magic capability. There weren’t many things that he could do with it, considering he needed to use a large amount of magic to optimize his ability fully.

So how could he increase his F-rank magic capability?

Tsukasa was a doctor, and of course, he knew the ins and outs of the human body.

The human body is full of possibilities, but at the same time, it also has limitations. However, this limitation isn’t harmful. Instead, it protects our bodies from dying.

This limitation is survival instincts.

By using this breathing technique, Tsukasa was able to ignore all his survival instincts safety mechanisms and release all their magic, strength, and vitality, using his full strength, then multiplied this several dozen times, granting him tremendous power.

Ikki Kurogane also had a similar technique, but unlike Tsukasa, his technique wasn’t a breathing technique. Instead, it was part of his ability that he developed from his Device.

Ikki Kurogane’s ability was to double his strength, but he developed it more by breaking his survival instincts, multiplying his power up to ten times, and adding his ability. It would multiply his power by 20 times!

Twenty times the physical ability of the peak human body wasn’t something that could be scoffed off, which is why Ikki Kurogane could be so strong.

On the other hand, while Tsukasa’s breathing technique was similar, there were also some differences.

While Ikki was able to strengthen his power by ten times, he couldn’t control it.

Tsukasa could also strengthen his power by ten times, but he could also change it into two times, three times, or even seven times, so he could control the damage that his technique might cause to his body.

Tsukasa’s technique was more exquisite, but even so, he must admit that the determination of Ikki Kurogane to become stronger was something to be commended about.

Still, while Ikki Kurogane’s technique and Tsukasa’s breathing technique were dangerous, Tsukasa didn’t need to worry about using his breathing technique since he had a regenerative healing factor inside his body, but Ikki Kurogane didn’t.

Ikki might be alright now, but in the future, when he was old, Tsukasa could see that Ikki’s body would be riddled with various diseases.

Tsukasa somehow realized how lucky he was, but at the same time, he wondered whether his regenerative healing factor was related to his wish that he didn’t want to die. When he thought about his past, he suddenly felt a pang on several parts of his body, making him slightly pale.

“Are you alright, Tsukasa?” Touka asked worriedly.

“I’m alright, Touka-nee.” Tsukasa shook his head and asked, “I want to go to the dorm. Can we go now?” He stood up slowly, and Touka quickly helped him.

“Kurono-director, we’ll go back first,” Tsukasa said.

“We’ll go back first, Director-sensei,” Touka said.

Kurono looked at Tsukasa reluctantly, but then she quickly caught one problem. “Where’s your dorm?” Tsukasa hadn’t been accepted as a student before, and she passed out after her mock battle, so she hadn’t put him in the dorm.

Tsukasa only knew that he was going to stay together in Touka’s dorm since Touka told him so, but Kurono suddenly asked him this question, and it made him wonder whether Touka hadn’t told the teacher about the arrangement of the dorm.

“Um…” Being stared at by two people, Touka blushed slightly, and she said in a low voice, “He’s going to stay in my dorm.”

“….” Kurono’s expression turned ugly, then she let out a long sigh. “Toudou, while it is true that the academy has enforced a doctrine of pure merit, based completely on actual combat performance, so there isn’t any a problem with a different gender to stay in the same dorm.” She squinted her eyes and said, “I don’t commend you for using the student council’s authority to let Kugayama live in the same dorm as you. Even if you’re the last year of the champion of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, I can’t allow such selfishness.” She was a woman, and she could tell that Touka’s intention to let Tsukasa live with her wasn’t because of the doctrine of pure merit.

Instead, it was pure lust!

“I…” Touka couldn’t say anything, and she was so embarrassed!

“…..” Tsukasa didn’t say anything and decided to become an audience member in this situation.

“Also, don’t you stay with Totokubara? Have you told her that you’re going to move her and let Kugayama live in your dorm?” Kurono added salt to the wound.

“I….” Touka couldn’t say anything since she hadn’t said anything to her dormmate about this matter.

Tsukasa glanced at Touka’s subtly.

It was Touka’s decision by herself to let Tsukasa stay in her dorm since Touka knew how dangerous Tsukasa’s charm was. She still remembered the tragedy that happened a few years ago, so she thought of letting him live with her. While part of her was also greedy about the body of her unrelated little brother, she also felt a duty to protect him from many vixens in this academy.

“I know that you’re worried since I can tell that many girls will…” Kurono somehow wanted to smoke her cigarette at this moment since she could imagine how crazy girls and some boys were in this academy when they saw Tsukasa.

“Then…” Touka wanted to remind Kurono that the best place for Tsukasa to live was in her dorm, but before she could say something, Kurono said, “But if you do that, it won’t fit with the doctrine of pure merit of the academy.”

“But you have also seen Tsukasa’s strength, right, Director-sensei? Doesn’t his power match me? So isn’t it more suitable for us to stay in the same dorm?” Nevertheless, Touka still wanted to fight. Even if she had always been a kind-hearted girl, she was quite stubborn in some areas.

“Yes, he’s powerful, and that’s why I thought I’d let him stay in the same dorm with someone who is as powerful as him,” Kurono said simply before she drank the water that Touka gave her before. She must admit that while Tsukasa might be D-rank, his power was amazing, and she also understood why his attack was ranked as A-rank, so she thought he might be suitable to stay in the same room as that person.

“Someone as powerful as Tsukasa?” Touka looked at Kurono with doubt, wondering whether there was such a person in this academy.

“You don’t need to worry. This person won’t have an interest in Tsukasa,” Kurono said and tried to give a guarantee. After all, Touka was the champion of last year’s Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, so she still needed to give her a face since she was afraid that Touka might do a dramatic measure by transferring to different Mage-Knight Schools. She didn’t doubt this possibility since she knew how dangerous Tsukasa’s charm was.

“…Is that so?” Touka didn’t believe that there were people who weren’t interested in Tsukasa.

“If you’re so worried about him, then why don’t you just eat him? Just date each other, so you won’t have to worry that someone might steal him from you!” Kurono said with a snort.

“E – eat him?! Wh – what are you talking about, Director-sensei!” Touka blushed and felt that her face was hot.

However…

‘Hmm… that isn’t a bad idea at all.’ Touka thought inwardly.

“………” Tsukasa.

Kurono only glanced lazily at Touka, then looked at Tsukasa. “Tsukasa, is that alright with you?”

“Do I have a choice?” Tsukasa asked.

“No.”

“…..”

Tsukasa let out a sigh and asked, “Is this person as powerful as you have said?”

“Of course.” Kurono’s face was full of confidence and said, “I hope that by staying with this person, you, and your dorm friend, can grow stronger together.” She didn’t mention the gender of this person since she didn’t want another troublesome argument.

“…”

Tsukasa looked at Kurono for a moment and nodded. “Alright.”

“Good.” Kurono was satisfied with Tsukasa’s answer, then she took her datapad to the side of the table and quickly set up Tsukasa’s dorm while telling him where he could get the key.

Tsukasa didn’t say much and wanted to check his dorm since he didn’t want to stay any longer.

Watching Tsukasa and Touka leave, Kurono somehow let out a long sigh, feeling quite lonely. However, before they left, Tsukasa only remembered and said, “Um, Kurono-director.”

“What’s wrong?” Kurono asked as she looked at Tsukasa curiously.

“I have cut down a little part of the arena. I don’t need to pay for the damage, right?” Tsukasa said nervously.

Touka looked at Tsukasa subtly. ‘Little part?’ She somehow wanted to laugh and thought to remind Kurono, but when she thought that Kurono had made her unable to stay in the same dorm as Tsukasa, she decided to remain silent.

Kurono only laughed and said, “You don’t need to worry. I can handle it.” She waved her hand and told him not to worry.

“Is that so? Thank you.” Tsukasa sighed in relief and said, “Then, Kurono-director, I will leave first with Touka-nee, so you can rest well.”

Kurono nodded and didn’t say much, but when she saw the damage that was caused by Tsukasa’s attack, she might regret her decision.

Also…

‘Had he hugged me before?’

Kurono somehow felt her entire body was hot and when she recalled that strong and reliable arms, she hugged her entire body!

Kurono was panicked, and she felt that she needed to go back to her family now, or else she might really create a big mistake for her family!
