บท 133: Overwhelming power 2

Several booming sounds were heard one after another, making everyone feel tight on their hearts.

"It's Tsukasa..."

Tomoe had a solemn expression on her face and knew instantly who was the cause of those booming sounds.

Without a doubt, on the spot where the booming sounds were heard, those students had already been defeated.

However, Tomoe didn't care about any of that.

Instead, Tomoe tried to search for the location where Tsukasa was.

However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see his figure, yet it might be her feelings that she could feel his gaze on her, which made her tight and blush somehow.

Still, Tomoe was confident that she wasn't the only one who felt this feeling since everyone in this place also felt something similar.

"As expected, Tsukasa is amazing..." Miyabi was already in love with Tsukasa, and she was just amazed by her loved one's ability.

"Miyabi..." Tomoe was speechless, but she couldn't say anything since she also agreed that Tsukasa was amazing. She wasn't sure whether Tsukasa was using a gun or other types of weapons, but one thing for sure, she could tell that he was using a long-range weapon.

'Or might it be a short-range weapon too?'

Tomoe wasn't sure, but she didn't understand why Tsukasa didn't shoot them.

After all, if Tsukasa could shoot everyone, he could also shoot them too, right?

"Tomoe-chan."

"Yes?" Tomoe looked at Miyabi curiously.

"Let's do our best!" Miyabi said confidently since she had been trained by Tsukasa from time to time, she was confident in her ability, and she didn't think that she would lose to anyone other than Tomoe, Julie, or Tsukasa in this "New Blaze Battle."

"Yes!" Tomoe said with a smile, thinking that she was glad to choose Miyabi as her Duo, but at the same time, she also felt slightly strange, wondering where her confidence came from. However, when she thought how close she was to Tsukasa, she felt something tighten, which made her uncomfortable.

'What's this?'

Tomoe shook her head and decided to throw this matter aside, focusing on this battle for now.

While Tomoe and Miyabi started to move, a pair of boys also noticed Tsukasa's attacks that were done from a long distance.

"...That monster."

"Yeah, he's strong."

They were Torasaki Aoi and Kokonoe Tooru.

If there wasn't Tsukasa, without a doubt, Tooru would become Julie's partner and have a harem life like in this school, with many girls surrounding him.

However, there was no "if," and Tsukasa appeared, swallowing everything like a black hole.

Luckily, Tooru still had his best friend Tora, and the two became Duos.

Unlike the others, Tooru was also special since he was an Irregular. While every Exceed could only have the shape of their Blaze as a weapon, the shape of his Blaze was a shield.

While it was amazing since there was no precedent someone could awaken something a shield in the shape of the Blaze, it was dull compared to Tsukasa's cube, which could transform into anything as long as he wanted to.

"But even so, we won't be defeated!" Tora was stubborn and still believed that they could win. "Let's win, Tooru!"

"Yeah." Tooru had a calm expression on his face and also wanted to become stronger since he didn't want to feel weak anymore, so he had to win! "Let's win, Tora!" Then, with his protagonist-like expression, he charged forward with his Duo to win this "New Blaze Battle."

In the northern area, there were several cameras that had been set up so Sakuya could see the progress of the fight on this "New Blaze Battle."

However, Sakuya had never focussed on the others and just focussed on Tsukasa all the time. She kept watching him, and her hands clenched the armrest when she saw how close he was with Julie, and she was so jealous when she saw him patting her head gently since she had never received the same treatment!

Mikuni, who was a loyal bodyguard, just stood beside Sakuya in silence, without saying anything, while thinking about what kind of messy things this guy had caused to his master. Still, he didn't feel surprised with how much Julie was attracted to him since his master was also attracted to him.

However, Sakuya and Mikuni stopped thinking when they saw Tsukasa holding a bow.

If there was an elf in the storybook, without a doubt, Tsukasa might be that elf.

"...Amazing."

As expected, when they saw his archery skill, it was the only word that could come out from their mouths.

Sakuya looked at Mikuni and asked, "Can you dodge that, Mikuni?"

"...Probably, no." Mikuni knew how strong Tsukasa was, and after Tsukasa became an Exceed, he knew how powerful he had become since they often spar secretly, and Tsukasa also taught him the Trackless Step, the amazing movement techniques that made him even stronger.

Tsukasa didn't really mind teaching the Trackless Step since it wasn't something special, and Mikuni's job was to protect Sakuya, so the stronger he was, the better it was.

Still, right now, Mikuni is more focussed on Tsukasa's archery skill that can bend the laws of physics, considering there's no friction that happens on his arrows.

'How the hell did he do that?'

If Mikuni was shot from a distance, without knowing, without a doubt, he would be killed.

Sakuya looked at Mikuni in silence for a moment before she focused on the screen again, thinking that there was no suitable person other than him who could become her husband.

"By the way, can he win against Rito?" Sakuya asked since she also knew about how Tsukasa challenged Rito, but unlike her plan that wanted to put a limiter on Rito, he wanted her to fight him with all of her power, without a limiter, using her strength as Level V.

Mikuni couldn't answer Sakuya's question for a while, but after a while, he said, "...It's difficult." Of course, it wasn't impossible as long as Tsukasa used a trick, but it would be difficult since the distance of Level II and Level V weren't something that could be shortened with skill alone.

There was a massive difference in power between Level II and Level V.

Even if his Blaze could change into many shapes of things as long as he wanted to, there was still a massive difference between him and Rito.

Rito had overwhelming power as a Level V, and as a Level V, she also achieved the true power of Blaze.

"I know their difference." Sakuya grabbed her left cheek forcefully, showing a maniacal smile, and said, "But strangely enough, I feel that he can win."

Mikuni pushed the frame of his glasses lightly and said, "That's true. I can't imagine he'll lose too."

The two saw how strong his determination was to win, and he could even sacrifice his right arm to win against Mikuni.

"If something happens, save him quickly, Mikuni."

"Yes, Ojou-sama."

With those words, the two focussed on the "New Blaze Battle" again, watching how Tsukasa and Julie showed their overwhelming power in front of all of the new students.
