บท 565: Bald
Ikki stood in the center of the battle circle in a daze, trying to recall that wonderful feeling. Even though it was only for a moment, he knew he had entered that realm and mastered the Twin Wings Style.
He clenched his fist and thought he had passed his first hurdle, but he knew this was far from being able to defeat "him."
However, he saw a chance, and he definitely wouldn't waste it.
'But before that...'
Ikki thought about Tsukasa's opponent this round and felt worried since he knew Amane Shinomiya wasn't as simple as he seemed to be.
---
"Wow, I didn't expect the match to be over so soon!" The host was surprised. "What do you think, Yuuzou-san?"
"........"
Yuuzou couldn't say anything for a while, and his lip twitched since he really wondered what was wrong with this year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival?!
Whether Stella, Tsukasa, Ouma, Kiriko, Touka, Sara, then Ikki Kurogane.
All of them were ridiculously strong.
However, Yuuzou didn't expect Ikki would be able to reach that realm either.
"The grandson of that guy is sure strong." Nangou sighed since Ikki really brought him a surprise. "Do you think this boy can give him a challenge?"
"No."
Unexpectedly, even if Ikki had entered this realm, this beautiful woman didn't think Ikki could do anything against Tsukasa.
Unlike before, Nangou sat next to Edelweiss, talking about the match.
"He is stronger than you think," Edelweiss said calmly.
"Oh..."
Nangou blinked his eyes and wondered how strong Tsukasa was. Honestly, it was hard to tell how strong Tsukasa was, but he could tell that Tsukasa was strong since he was able to match him in the past.
If Tsukasa became stronger now, he was already in the realm Nangou didn't understand.
Leaving Ikki aside, Nangou thought about Touka since his disciple had become stronger than he had thought, and he knew that she would give Tsukasa a surprise.
"Still, this next match will be interesting."
"Hmm..."
Edelweiss was silent and seemed deep in thought, especially when she thought about Tsukasa's opponent.
"However, that guy has made him angry. I am sure this match will be hard to watch."
Edelweiss thought about that androgynous boy and only thought that his life was pitiful.

"Now, it is the time that we have been waiting for!"
"Yes, I have always waited for this match."
"I am sure everyone here knows that I am his fan, and many in the venue are also his fans. Now, he is going to have his second match against the Bad Luck, Shinomiya Amane." The host looked at Yuuzou and asked, "Yuuzou-san, what do you think of Amane Shinomiya?"
Unlike Tsukasa, no one really knew about Amane Shinomiya.
The result of his match was quite similar.
Amane won by default since his opponents were unable to come.
"I can't say much about him, but have you heard about the rumor?"
"The rumor? You mean about his power?"
"Yeah."
"No way. If he really has such a power, then won't he become the champion already?"
"If that's the case, that would be good, but if the rumor is true?"
"........"
"Anyway, I can't say much about this Amane Shinomiya. It's better that we watch the match since we can understand him better."
"That's true." The host nodded. "I am sure everyone has already been waiting, so let's not wait anymore and welcome our two contestants for the last battle in the second round!
"Now, let us welcome them!
"Kyomon Academy, Bad Luck, Shinomiya Amane!"
By then, the cute boy had walked out from the passage to the battle circle. As he walked, he still maintained his warm smile, but if one looked closer, one would see how morbid those eyes were. It was like the accumulation of evil things in the world were inside those eyes.
Still, the audience's reaction was quite normal, and they didn't show much excitement since this guy was unknown.
However...
"Now, let us welcome him! Hagun Academy, Sakra, Tsukasa Kugayama!"
As the voice of the host fell, everyone roared in excitement.
Most of the people that came to the venue were already his fans.
They weren't sure about his opponents, but as long as they caught a glimpse of him, they felt their expensive ticket was worth it.
"This guy's popularity is outrageous." Shizuku's eyes twitched since she could feel the venue tremble.
The rest could only smile since it was a normal thing.
Tsukasa stepped into the battle circle and faced Shinomiya Amane.
"Do you think that you're invincible after you have mastered that swordsmanship? You've overestimated yourself!"
Before, Aman was scared by Tsukasa's aura, but when he thought about it clearly, he knew he was stronger. After all, he could control fate itself.
Who could fight fate?
No one!
Amane believed he was strongest since no matter how powerful one with swordsmanship was. In the end, it was only swordsmanship. One needed to use their body to activate it, but he didn't need that.
His ability was activated automatically.
As long as he made a wish, everything would be granted.
This showed how powerful his ability was!
"Whatever."
Tsukasa didn't even bother to fight Amane's words and just replied calmly, "Once the match starts, you will see whether your ability is stronger or my swordsmanship is stronger."
When his voice fell, the match started.
"Let's go ahead!"
"Hmph!"
Amane snorted and said, "Then, let's see whether you can swing your sword or not! I hope that you can't swing your sword!" He had made his wish, and his power had started to work.
However, it could do nothing to Tsukasa.
Tsukasa appeared in front of Amane like he had teleported before he swung his sword.
Amane was stunned and only saw a flash of light. He was blank and couldn't think of anything, but suddenly he stumbled and fell to the ground, dodging Tsukasa's sword by accident.
"Your luck is good." Tsukasa sighed helplessly, but he didn't seem to be troubled by Amane, who could dodge his attack.
However, Amane couldn't laugh since he could feel that his head was slightly cool for some reason, and he saw a lot of his hair drop to the ground.
"......"
Amane was in a daze before he touched his head, but unexpectedly, he couldn't feel his hair. The only thing he could feel was his smooth scalp.
By then, Amane realized he had become bald.
