Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Kamui.

This was the strongest new sword technique that he had developed.

It was really tough to develop this technique, but the result was amazing.

The inspiration for this sword technique was simple, and what he thought was how to develop the strongest sword technique.

It might be strange for him to question this, but what is the strongest technique?

The answer is simple, that is a sword technique that will give victory to its user.

Simple, right?

However, that was the fact that no matter how strange, complex, complicated, beautiful, and any others, if it couldn’t bring victory to its user, it couldn’t be called the strongest technique.

Then, how did a swordman get their victory?

It was to slay their opponent on their vitals, killing them in one blade.

If Tsukasa had to be more detailed, then it was to get into the distance of his blade, dodge the incoming attack, and finally strike the vital of his enemy. Execute those courses of action as a single move, and without a doubt, he would win.

This was his ultimate sword technique, Kamui.

Frankly, this technique was dangerous, especially when he had to face someone like Ikki, who had become 200 times stronger. If his senses couldn’t follow Ikki’s movement and missed his technique, then he was done for.

Yet an accident happened when he used this technique on Ikki.

It was a strange incident that related to his ability to travel to another world.

The existence of another world was real, especially when he could prove it by traveling to another world.

To travel to another world, Tsukasa had to pass the door created by his ability. This door connected this world and the other world. It was like a bridge if he had to make it simple. But then, when he thought about this connection, he started to think about a certain possibility.

What if he used this “connection” in his swordsmanship?

It was just an accident, yet Tsukasa found an interesting way to use this “connection.”

By using this “connection,” Tsukasa was able to multiply his slash.

Yet saying it was easier than it was to be done. After all, Tsukasa wasn’t able to do it until now. Multiplying his slashes into several wasn’t something so simple. To do this, one needed more than mere speed, dexterity, feints, and many other elements. This was a move that bent the laws of physics to multiply its existence.

Turning finite into infinite.

It should be impossible, especially when one can’t rely on magic and only swordsmanship alone.

Yet when Tsukasa found someone who could do it in the past, he became a maniac, almost fanatical, feeling the challenge to develop a similar technique.

The source of this obsession came when Tsukasa read the autobiography of the legendary swordsman, Musashi. By then, he saw the name of Musashi’s rival, Sasaki Kojiro. While Musashi was only focused on becoming the victor, no matter what the method was, Sasaki Kojiro was a sword enthusiast.

Sasaki would do anything, so his sword technique could become stronger, and because of that, he was able to develop Tsubame Gaeshi’s (Swallow Return) sword technique, a technique where he was able to cut down a swallow in mid-flight with twice strikes.

The details of this technique weren’t written. After all, the people who had seen it had already gone to nirvana, seeing the Buddha. On the other hand, Musashi might have won the battle against Sasaki, but he was unable to see this technique. If he saw this technique, then the victor between them would be different.

In simple terms, this technique was to send two slashes in just a single swing.

In other words, it was impossible, right?

The people who read the autobiography thought that Sasaki’s Tsubame Gaeshi was two consecutive slashes that were done instantly. After all, performing two slashes in just one move was impossible.

However, Tsukasa felt it was possible, so here he was, coming up with an answer, and was able to multiply his slashes into two in just a single swing.

Kamui, two slashes in one swing. Defense and strike types of sword techniques combined into one.

If it wasn’t because of his duel with Ikki, Tsukasa wouldn’t be able to perform this technique. After all, he was so desperate since he was almost losing.

“…Is it not enough?”

His thought was suddenly broken when he heard Ikki’s bitter voice. When he slashed Ikki, he used the illusionary form, so Ikki was only in a weakened state instead of dying. He looked at Ikki, then said, “No, it’s not like that.” His dissatisfaction didn’t come from Ikki. Instead, he was satisfied with his duel against Ikki, but he didn’t like the origin of where this duel came from.

“Is that so…?” Ikki sighed in relief but smiled bitterly, lying on the ground weakly since he had lost. He might not have any regrets, but he would be lying if he didn’t feel disappointed. After all, the meaning of his loss was entirely different, especially when he had to give up on becoming a mage-knight after his defeat.

Ikki had just learned how to enjoy everything, yet he was forced to give up?

It was already a miracle if Ikki could smile and accept the result wholeheartedly, but there was no way he could do that!

“Onii-sama…” Shizuku looked at Ikki worriedly, but he didn’t know what to say or to do since she knew her brother was doomed.

“Hahaha, you have lose Ikki-kun!”

When everyone was still immersed in the various emotions after they watched this battle, someone just couldn’t read the mood by barging into the stage while laughing happily.

Akaza was so happy when he saw Ikki had lost and Tsukasa had won!

Akaza knew from this duel that he would gain the position of the head of public relations in the League of Mage-Knight Nations Japan Branch. “As what we have talked about before, you’ll receive an expulsion from this school.”

Ikki opened his mouth before he closed it since he knew this was his fate.

Yet…

“Wh—!”

Akaza was suddenly dropped to the ground, his face hit against the ground since he was kicked by someone so suddenly. While it didn’t really hurt since he was a Blazer, his reputation and pride wouldn’t allow such a shame!

“What the hell are you doing?! Do you know who I am?! I am the head of the—”

“Shut up!”

Tsukasa didn’t care about who or what Akaza was. Instead, he looked at one of his lovers and called her. “Kagami!”

“Yes! Yes!” Kagami chirped happily and threw the microphone at Tsukasa.

Tsukasa caught the microphone easily and quickly attracted everyone’s attention by Kagami’s lead. All the camera, screen, voice, and all related media focused their attention on him.

When this happened, Tsukasa unhurriedly said, “I announce that this match is invalid!”
