The Qualification Ceremony 1

The moment the silver girl showed herself, all sound disappeared from the auditorium.

However, the moment Tsukasa came to the auditorium, everyone wondered whether they were dreaming and they were in paradise.

While the appearance of the silver girl could be described as ethereal, Tsukasa's arrival was just too breathtaking. It wasn't something that could be understood with human logic, and if his sound step didn't wake them, they might forget to breathe.

Whether it was a girl or a boy, neither of them could look away from him.

They wanted to reach him, but his aura didn't allow them to do so.

Tsukasa had this "don't get close to me aura" around him that made people unable to move closer, feeling quite pressured by him.

Imari, who was following him, was unnoticeable, but she was glad that she could talk with him since she got useful information. She looked at his back and made up her mind to succeed at the Qualification Ceremony to enter this academy.

Imari randomly sat and just happened to sit next to a shortish brown-haired boy.

While the boy's appearance was somewhat handsome, Imari, who had been baptized by Tsukasa's charm, could only see them as normal.

Her wish was simple right now.

Imari wanted to enter this school then spend her time with Tsukasa!

Tsukasa sat on his seat on a random seat and didn't even glance at the students next to him even though they kept staring at him.

Still, not only were two students beside him, but the entire students in the auditorium kept staring at him, fascinated by his beauty, and were unable to look away somehow, showing how amazing his charm was.

Even the group of teachers also couldn't look away from him since, in this boring auditorium, his presence gave them meaning in their lives.

Watching everyone's reaction, Rito could only snort, thinking they were all bitches.

Mikuni only stared at Rito in silence before he looked at everyone in this place whose breaths were taken away by Tsukasa like it was something ordinary. While no one realized it, he felt that this was the scary part of him since even without a Blaze, he felt that Tsukasa was the strongest person on this island, considering his charm could make everyone crazy about him.

The whole auditorium was in silence, but it didn't interrupt Tsukasa, who was looking at Sakuya, who was walking toward the podium.

The two stared at each other, but neither of them showed an action that made the people around realize how close their relationship was.

"New students, welcome to Kouryou Academy. I'm the chairman of the school board, Tsukumo Sakuya."

While Sakuya started to talk, Tsukasa thought about the origin of the Kourou Academy. He knew that it was a school created by the Dawn Organization.

While Tsukasa wasn't sure what the heck the Dawn Organization was, it had nothing to do with him since he knew that their intention was just to do research on everyone in this place.

Yes!

Everyone in this place was a guinea pig for the Dawn Organization.

However, Tsukasa didn't mind since it wasn't his first time to become a guinea pig, and while they could get his data, he could also get their data and power.

It was something like a symbiotic mutualism.

It was like a flower and a bee.

As for who was the flower and who was the bee, it had nothing to do with him since what he needed to think right now was to get stronger.

Tsukasa had adjusted his body, and he just needed to go to Sakuya so he could get stronger. He then glanced at Rito, who kept looking at him. Watching her feverish gaze, he thought he might also need to show her who was the master in their relationship later.

"All of you will soon participate in one of this school's traditions: the Qualification Ceremony."

While Imari gasped, the rest was confused.

With Sakuya in front of the podium and starting the entrance ceremony, all the attention that was robbed by Tsukasa was moving toward her direction since it was their first time to have a loli as their headmistress.

"First, look at the person sitting next to you — this will be your partner."

Everyone glanced to their sides and Tsukasa's partner, who was male, seemed conflicted when he thought that he was excited to be partnered up with him. While he was happy, he was normal, and he just couldn't accept the fact that he might swing that way for a while.

Tsukasa didn't care about the mental struggle the person on his side had and only focussed his attention on Sakuya.

"Okay then, we will now have you duel with your partner."

"Eh?"

Many were disconcerted, showing confusion about what they had just heard.

However, Sakuya was unfazed and said, "Only the winner will be accepted by the school. The loser will have his Lukifer taken back and be asked to leave the academy."

"What the hell?! No one told me that!"

"You mean good marks aren't good enough?!"

"Do you want us to duel? That's impossible!"

After the initial confusion disappeared, they started to complain and showed resistance to do what Sakuya wanted. After all, neither of them wanted to follow this stupid arrangement where they needed to fight each other to enter the school!

The whole auditorium was noisy and filled with panicked students.

However, Sakuya seemed to have gotten used to this situation as she said calmly, "In the event that the battle exceeds ten minutes, you both will fail."

"Wa-Wait for a moment!"

"What is it?"

"If we lose, we aren't accepted to the school, isn't that little over the top?"

Hearing that question, everyone also agreed and shouted that they couldn't accept such an arrangement!

However, the voice of the group was pointless in front of the overwhelming power.

"This is Kouryou Academy's entrance exam. Strike your opponent down and ensure your admittance. It's a struggle for survival, based on this simple principle."

"Couldn't we just complete a written test?"

"You are aware that you will be participating in the battle soon, correct? That's something you should understand when you apply to this school." Sakuya raised her arms, showing an excitement that shouldn't be shown by ten years old.

"Fight! Exceeds those chosen by the heavens! You already have the power necessary for that! Harness the power of your soul, Blaze, and seize your futures!"

"Sorry."

The male student next to Tsukasa held his hand on his chest, and he shouted, "Blaze!" A large ax appeared on both hands as he was ready to strike down Tsukasa. Even if Tsukasa was the most handsome and beautiful man in this world, he needed to enter this school no matter what!

So...

"I will win!"

However, a Glock appeared in his hand, and Tsukasa just shot the head of this male student without looking away.

*Bang!*

"......."

The sound of the gunshot was heard, and the male student fell to the ground as he passed out.

The auditorium was filled with silence since it was their first time to hear that someone was able to manifest a gun as their Blaze.

Tsukasa then transformed his Glock into his classic retro fashionable polarized UV eyeglasses shape as he sat relaxedly in his seat as he waited for this entrance exam to end while wondering whether there was a student who could show him something interesting.
