Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Ikki combined two of his techniques, “Saigeki” and “Raikou,” from his Seven Secret Swords.

Raikou was his fastest technique which made it impossible to follow his movement since it was so fast that it exceeded the opponent’s dynamic vision.

Meanwhile, Saigeki had a charging and anti-material strike, where Ikki used his arm and leg strength alongside his power charging speed combined with his superhuman body control. All the vectors of his power were directed at the point of his sword, granting it the highest offensive power among his secret swords and making it the quickest to charge.

Yet Ikki wasn’t satisfied.

Ikki added a twist to his charge.

His soles, legs, lower body, body, and arms twisted and snapped, giving propulsion to his fast speed!

Yet…

Tsukasa just stood in a place, silent, without moving a single muscle with his sword aimed toward his opponent’s head.

“Ten’i Muhou!”

When their blades met, Ikki once again realized the meaning of powerlessness. He came with tons of weight, like a truck that moved at its fastest speed, yet Tsukasa was like cotton. It was meaningless to attack him with a powerful force, yet what could he do?

Ikki could only grit his teeth and just continued his swings!

However, among the crowd, there was one person who showed a proud expression.

Ayase Ayatsuji.

One of Tsukasa’s lovers.

After all, her beloved was going to fight. How could she not come to watch?

Still, watching him use the power of the “Ayatsuji Ittou-ryuu” so skillfully, there was a certain pride in her heart, and she wanted to tell everyone that the person on the stage was her man. She watched him for a while and thought of bringing him later to their apartment.

Ikki also noticed Tsukasa’s new technique, but what could he do?

Ikki didn’t have time to learn now, and all he could do was endure their clashes since he must admit Tsukasa’s attack became heavier!

Ikki had always thought that Tsukasa was weak at strength, but who would have thought it was all just a facade, which made him feel bitter.

Frankly, Ikki wasn’t weak. If it was in the world of Danmachi, then his strength should be around a Level 3 adventurer. Without a blessing, and just with training, he could achieve that point in his physical strength. One should be able to tell how exceptional his talent was with martial arts. Yet God was fair since when he had a good talent at martial arts, he had no talent as a Blazer, which was distressing.

However, Ikki was someone that had never given up. His life might constantly be under a blizzard, yet he had never given up, especially when there was someone who had been supporting him!

“Madoka!”

When Ikki couldn’t handle the impact and force that came from Tsukasa’s blade, he rotated himself around as if making a circle, then sent back the impact and force from Tsukasa’s blade as a counter!

Tsukasa was surprised, and he must admit it felt like he was facing a degraded version of himself, but surprisingly, Ikki kept growing and growing.

‘As expected of the protagonist…’

However, Tsukasa didn’t feel fear. Instead, he was excited since it would be too lonely to stand on the top alone, right?

If Ikki could become stronger than Tsukasa would be more than happy!

The impact and force came from Ikki’s blade, yet it didn’t shake Tsukasa.

*Crack!*

Only the ground under Tsukasa’s crack created a web-like fissure. Even if Ikki’s attack was so sudden, he was able to divert the force and impact to the ground easily. However, this wasn’t the end since he continued his relentless attack on Ikki.

Still, when they clashed against each other, Ikki sighed in relief. It might seem weird of him to sigh in relief, especially when he almost lost in their confrontation, but he knew another weakness of Tsukasa, and that was the amount of his magic!

Tsukasa’s ability was strong without a doubt, but the amount of his magic was just slightly higher than him.

In other words, it was impossible for Tsukasa to use his ability all the time.

As for how Ikki was able to deduce this, it came from the fact that Tsukasa had never used his ability again when they clashed against each other!

When Ikki knew this, he knew he still had a chance, but at the same time, he could only smile bitterly since he was almost lost in the sword confrontation!

“Kurogane-kun is being pushed! Is he going to lose?”

The scream of the announcement put a solemn expression on their faces.

In this match, they learned one thing, and that was the fact Ikki was strong!

Even though some of them couldn’t accept it, they knew they had to accept that Ikki was strong!

In front of an immovable mountain such as Tsukasa, Ikki could continue to fight and struggle, showing his determination to win!

Yet somehow, no one in this place or the screen was able to think that Ikki would be able to win. After all, even though no one said it, they had realized one thing: Tsukasa had never moved from his spot!

Under Ikki’s relentless attacks that could make anyone scared, Tsukasa was as immovable as a mountain. No, he was the mountain itself, and they just couldn’t see his peak since it was covered by clouds. It was the existence that they couldn’t defeat no matter what, yet Ikki kept fighting, which made them feel a surging excitement in their bodies.

Even if Ikki lost, they felt Ikki was worthy of the knight.

Yet would Ikki want to lose like this?

No way!

When Ikki was pushed, in the end, he knew he had to use this, or else there was no chance of him being able to win!

“Ittou Shura!

At a time that no one would expect, a blue magic aura blazed over his body!

Ikki amassed all his body vigor and stamina while ignoring his survival instincts, using all the strength in his body into this strike!

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

Tsukasa was thrown directly by the sudden increase of impact!

“Tsukasa!”

Everyone was dumbfounded by this sudden change!

“Bastard?!”

“What the hell are you doing?!”

“Do you want to die?!”

“Despicable!”

Many people quickly got angry when Ikki suddenly used this sneak attack to defeat Tsukasa. After all, Tsukasa’s popularity was obvious to all. Therefore, 99,999% of the audience came for Tsukasa and not for Ikki.

While Ikki had gained their hearts and support before, all of them turned into nothing when they saw him make this sneak attack.

However, Ikki ignored them, or rather, he ignored all the information around him since if he didn’t, he was afraid he would miss every piece of information on Tsukasa.

‘Come on! Come on!’

Ikki was full of hope, thinking he would be able to hurt Tsukasa, but only despair welcomed him.

Tsukasa was at the end of the stage and just patted his dusty body relaxedly. He was completely unscathed, without any wounds or injuries, and only part of his clothes was dirty. After he cleaned up his clothes, he then looked at Ikki with a faint smile on his face and said, “Should we continue our dance, Ikki?”

“…..”
