Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Chapter 89



Kuraudo was thrown in the air, but at that moment, he quickly backed away and kept his distance from Tsukasa, watching him with a wary expression while sighing in relief when Tsukasa didn’t chase after him.

“Ku-Kuraudo, your fingers!”

“Da-Damn! Th-They’re twisted!”

“Don’t lose, Kuraudo!”

‘Even if you don’t say anything, I know that, bastard!’ Kuraudo wanted to scold his goons for being noisy, but he couldn’t lower his guard against Tsukasa since if he dared to do so, he knew that he would lay on the ground. He could feel intense pain in his fingers, and the skin on his broken fingers also turned purple, but he didn’t care and kept watching Tsukasa.

While Kanata wasn’t surprised, Ayase was dumbfounded when she saw Kuraudo’s middle and index fingers that had twisted in different directions.

“There’s still time. Do you want to give up? You can even swing your sword properly, you know?” Tsukasa said.

While the duel seemed long, the time hadn’t passed so long, and even if Kuraudo’s body had something special, he was still no match for Tsukasa.

Kuraudo had lost to Tsukasa at the beginning of the duel, especially after he started to hesitate and felt his power was inferior to Tsukasa.

Kuraudo’s physical ability might be lower than Tsukasa’s if he didn’t use his magic, but if Tsukasa used his magic, Kuraudo would lose in their confrontation.

However, it was lucky that Tsukasa didn’t use his magic since if he used it, Kuraoud would already lost.

Tsukasa had been clashing against Kuraudo without magic, but even so, he could push him easily.

If there was Ikki, Touka, or Nene, then someone could explain how Tsukasa could defeat Kuraudo.

Unfortunately, neither of those three were here, and the people who watched the confrontation between Kuraudo and Tsukasa couldn’t understand how Tsukasa was able to defeat Kuraudo without even using magic!

Still, if Tsukasa was given time to explain, then there were many things that he had used in this battle.

In their first confrontation, Tsukasa used his favorite sword techniques where he clashed against Kuraudo’s nodachi at a difficult angle and in part with the least force. He also met Kuraudo’s nodachi before Kuraudo could exert all of his power on his swing, giving an illusion that he was stronger than him.

On the other hand, Tsukasa had always struck Kuraudo with the center of percussion of his sword, giving him the best strike, and the vibration of the clash caused Kuraudo’s nodachi to be thrown off several times.

While it sounded easy, it was more complicated than one imagined since people’s movement was unpredictable, and there were trillions of possibilities that one could do.

Unless one could read the future, it was simply impossible for one to strike the opponent’s sword-like how Tsukasa did above.

However, Tsukasa did it.

On his growth over the past 15 years, Tsukasa had always been thinking about how to deal with any type of opponent.

However, while his sword could cut anything, there was one type of opponent that gave him trouble.

The opponent that Tsukasa talked about was an attack that could make him helpless and could do nothing after it started.

Like a point-blank bullet or Touka’s Raikiri.

After all, even if Tsukasa could dash with the speed that broke the sound barrier, he still needed some acceleration moment, and it was impossible to do it instantly.

Also, the speed of the bullet and Touka’s Raikiri were even faster than his speed.

As long as they were given to fire their attack, even Tsukasa couldn’t escape.

Then the question is, how do you deal with an attack if there is nothing you can do after it is being fired?

There is only one answer: to discern the moment the opponent is about to attack and move “immediately before” them.

Foresight.

This was the technique that he came up with.

While it might sound ridiculous, there were some people who could read the future even without a superpower.

The shogi master could predict one’s opponent’s moves from the beginning to the end.

Tsukasa could also use that.

Tsukasa used his superhuman analytical prowess to study his opponent’s movements in real-time to predict his opponent’s moves with sublime accuracy to the point where he could exploit them using this knowledge.

Still, while his analytical prowess was amazing, it took time to analyze his opponent’s movements since he needed the necessary information to do that.

However, with his enhanced sense of smell and the heightened senses that he trained in the forest by mimicking various animals, his foresight technique became even perfect.

While Tsukasa didn’t have the ability to see the future, this technique wasn’t that much different.

While Kuraudo had such a brute force that could demolish everything, his movement was so simple, especially when Tsukasa could feel the air vibration whenever he swung his blade.

It was so easy to predict Kuraudo’s movement, and compared to the bullet of the rifle that had reached two Mach speed, or Touka’s Raikiri, which was known as the ultra-electromagnetic battoujutsu “Raikiri,” his attack was nothing.

Even if there was something special about Kuraudo’s body, it was easy to defeat him.

As for the rest of his techniques, the explanation was even simple.

The one that Tsukasa used to cause a thin slit on Kuraudo’s stomach was the enhanced version of the sword technique that he used on the family restaurant on Kuraudo. However, unlike in the restaurant where he used his grip and held the pommel, he used his index and middle fingers on this fight, increasing the blade range even more.

As for the second confrontation, where Tsukasa and Kuraudo pushed each other blades, it was even simpler.

Tsukasa just pushed Kuraudo when Kuraudo’s balance was slightly off, making him unable to exert all of his power.

It was a simple technique usually used by Aikido practitioners when they could push someone just by holding hands.

Still, it was quite unexpected when Kuraudo could even push him, even in such a position.

However, Tsukasa didn’t feel surprised since everything was on his consideration, so when they became closer that even their hands touched each other, he directly grabbed Kuraudo’s palm and pressed his nerve, causing his entire body to be in pain.

When Kuraudo was stunned, Tsukasa, without hesitation, used Yubi Garami, a technique that involved torsion of the fingers, to break Kuraudo’s index and middle fingers.

With his broken fingers, Kuraudo wouldn’t be able to properly swing his nodachi.

Anything more than this was nothing more than suicide.

“What’s wrong? Can you say something? Are you mute?” Tsukasa asked.

“As if I’m going to admit to defeating a bastard! If you want me to admit defeat, then kill me!” Kuraudo exploded and shouted loudly. He ignored the pain on his fingers and held his nodachi with a single hand.

Tsukasa let out a tired sigh and said, “You know, there’s no point in continuing this battle since I know why you’re arrogant in front of the many swordmen.”

If Kuraudo wasn’t strong, there was no way he would be called “Sword Eater,” and Tsukasa knew why he was strong.

Tsukasa’s words piqued everyone’s curiosity.

“The reason why you are confident is because of your reflexive sensitivity, right?”
