Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Chapter 90



“Reflexive sensitivity?”

While they might not say anything, they were pretty curious at Kuraudo’s ability at dodging.

Many Tsukasa’s attacks should be impossible to dodge, but Kuraudo could do that.

“Tsukasa, isn’t that the same normal reflex gear all humans have?” Kanata asked.

“That’s half right, half wrong. If put into words, then it would be that, but the efficiency and speed are all too great. I’m talking about the time it takes for a human to complete the sensory process, as in ‘sense,’ ‘comprehend,’ and ‘respond.’ For the most part, it’s a point of three seconds for us. They say a professional sprinter has a time of point fifteen seconds. And no matter how much you train, this number can’t cross the boundary of point one second. That is common sense. However, this guy was able to dodge two of my sudden attacks, so it seemed the time for him was point zero five seconds or lower.”

“!!!”

Kanata and Ayase were speechless by that fact.

However, Kuraudo’s senses had long crossed the human boundary. In other words, the time it took for one trained fighter like Ikki or Stella to do one action, Kuraudo could do about two or three actions in that same amount of time.

“Hahaha… Bingo!”

Kuraudo widened his eyes while laughing madly.

Yes, his sword wasn’t art.

It was pure violence.

With that violence, the Sword Eater trampled everything down.

Because reaction speed was the basis of all sports and actions. No matter how much one trains or how much one polishes, it doesn’t matter how much experience one has. It all becomes meaningless before it.

No matter how much of an absurd surprise attack is thrown at him, he can deal with it after seeing it.

No matter how reckless someone charges at him, he can change his guard after seeing that.

It allowed something irrational like seeing the opponent’s choice of rock, paper, or scissors before making his own: that was the true value of the Sword Eater.

Techniques and experience, schemes and tactics, a nightmare that renders all of these useless. Superhuman reflexes and reaction ability are born from that, adding the two and thus creating a Marginal Counter.

“What are you laughing about? Haven’t I cut your stomach and broken your fingers just now?” Tsukasa said.

“…” Kuraudo.

While the Marginal Counter that was owned by Kuraudo was powerful and all, Tsukasa had broken it several times.

“Also, you think that you’re the only one who has a Marginal Counter?” Tsukasa asked with a smile.

“Don’t tell me… you?!” Kuraudo was dumbfounded and looked at Tsukasa in shock.

While they heard Tsukasa’s explanation about Kuraudo’s ability, they were already amazed by it. However, they would have never expected that Tsukasa would have it too!

“That’s right.” Tsukasa nodded with a faint smile.

*Gulp!*

Kuraudo’s goons gulped and knew that Kuraudo had already lost.

While Kuraudo’s Marginal Counter was powerful and all, he was just an amateur swordsman, and even if he reinforced his body with magic, it was nothing in front of Tsukasa, who could also do something similar to him, but with more sophisticated, stronger, and more precisely.

Even Kuraudo’s confidence was broken when he heard that Tsukasa had a similar ability to him since this Marginal Counter was the ability that had given him confidence, but someone other than him unexpectedly had it!

Besides this Marginal Counter, the ability that Kuraudo was born with, there was nothing that he had. Even his Device, Orochimaru, was pretty hard to wield, and its ability was pretty plain, compared to Tsukasa’s ability.

Still, there was a chance that Tsukasa might deceive him.

However, Kuraudo believed Tsukasa’s words since he knew that from the beginning to the end, Tsukasa could react faster than him.

Ayase was so happy that she wanted to jump around, thinking that the victory was already in Tsukasa’s hands.

While Kuraudo was racking his mind, thinking whether this match was already helpless, Tsukasa suddenly said, “Just kidding, of course, I don’t have it, alright?”

“…..”

Everyone was in silence, and they watched Tsukasa, who showed a teasing smile on his face.

There were many emotions in their hearts at that moment, but frankly, it wasn’t a good emotion since they knew that they had been played around by Tsukasa!

However, Kuraudo’s goons suddenly let out a sigh of relief since Tsukasa was joking, which meant the chance of Kuraudo winning wasn’t zero.

Kuraudo was annoyed that he was being played by Tsukasa, but he also felt relief since Tsukasa didn’t have a Marginal Counter.

However, Ayase showed a worried expression and wanted to do something, but she was stopped by Kanata.

Kanata looked at Tsukasa and looked at him with a smile, thinking that this guy was a real devil.

“Okay, how about we end this duel now?” Tsukasa looked at Kuraudo and said, “You know, even if your ability is powerful, I have many ways to defeat you, and I can use those methods easily. However…” He pointed the tip of his blade to Kuraudo and said, “I’ll defeat you with my swordsmanship alone. I’ll show you my strongest sword technique, so use your strongest technique, or else you’ll die.”

“…”

Tsukasa didn’t joke, especially when his aura was as sharp as a blade right now.

Everyone could feel the tension on the dojo and knew that the next confrontation would decide everything.

Kuraudo held his nodachi tightly as he waited for Tsukasa to attack since he would also use his strongest Noble Art!

“Kuraudo, I can fix your fingers right now so you can show all of your power. What do you think? Do you want me to fix them?” Tsukasa suddenly asked.

“…” Everyone.

“…Are you looking down on me?” Kuraudo asked as he gritted his teeth.

“You’ll die anyway, so I want to see all of your power without any hindrance.” Tsukasa looked at Kuraudo and asked, “What do you think?”

Kuraudo looked at his fingers for a moment and looked at Tsukasa. “You’re going to regret it.”

Tsukasa only shrugged his shoulders and walked to Kuraudo, who walked toward him without hesitation, so he also didn’t hesitate and fixed Kuraudo’s fingers easily.

With Tsukasa’s skill, Kuraudo’s broken fingers were fixed with just a slight movement, and they returned to how they used to be.

While they were hurt slightly, it was nothing for Kuraudo since he could move his hand fingers normally now. “I won’t say thank you.” He didn’t attack Tsukasa even though they were close like this since he knew that in close combat like this, he wasn’t Tsukasa’s opponent, especially when Tsukasa had many strange techniques that could stop his movement.

“It’s strange to say that to someone who is going to kill you.” Tsukasa still showed a faint smile and said, “I’ll give you some distance, so you can use all of your power.”

Kuraudo stared at Tsukasa for a moment, but there was no hesitation or fear.

Tsukasa’s eyes were calm, showing no possibility that he wouldn’t lose no matter what, which made Kuraudo snort.

“You’re going to regret this.”

Tsukasa and Kuraudo maintained their distance, ready to end this battle.

While the audience felt speechless when Tsukasa decided to fix Kuraudo’s fingers, they didn’t say anything and only looked at him with amazement.

“Don’t hold back,” Tsukasa suddenly said as he lost the faint smile on his face.

“Even if you don’t say anything, I won’t hold back!”

There was no way that Kuraudo could hold back against this monster!

Kuraudo decided to pour all his soul into the next attack and shrank Orochimaru to the size of a one-handed sword.

Shrinking reach, but prioritizing speed.

A full-speed attack containing all of his.

Utilize the full Marginal Counter, the ultimate technique that only Sword Eater can unleash!

“Yamato no Orochi!”

It was Kuraudo’s strongest technique!

As Kuraudo swung the sword, eight heads appeared as the attack!

Dimly glowing in a bone-colored radiance, the eight-headed serpent assaulted the dark-haired knight while baring its fangs!

While Kuraudo used his strongest technique, Tsukasa also used his strongest technique!

Tsukasa didn’t use his fast movement technique that could break the sound barrier.

Instead, Tsukasa approached Kuraudo with pure speed and varying unique steps.

Tsukasa’s movement was so strange. Sometimes, he disappeared. Sometimes, he created an afterimage, and many other strange optical illusions appeared one after another, making everyone who saw him feel they had vertigo, migraine, and motion sickness.

Kuraudo also felt vertigo, migraine, and motion sickness, but he kept howling as he attacked Tsukasa with his strongest attack!

However, Tsukasa dodged all of them and appeared on the attack range of his sword.

Kuraudo pulled his sword back and wanted to block Tsukasa’s attack!

“This is my strongest sword technique, Formlessness!”

Tsukasa unleashed his blade, cutting inversely and diagonally, maddening Kuraudo’s sense of time perception and sense of distance, slicing through them at intervals in misunderstood instants!

As Tsukasa returned his blade to the sheath, Kuraudo was stuck there, without moving his body.

“…You’re a liar.”

Leaving such words, Kuraudo’s two arms fell to the ground, and there was a massive slantwise gash on his huge built body, starting from the right shoulder till the end of the lower left abdominal area, causing a splash of blood that rose so high that it reached the ceiling and a pool of blood that gathered below him.

While Kuraudo wanted to keep standing, he couldn’t and fell to the ground and passed out.

“Who told you to be so gullible?” Tsukasa said as he ended his battle.
