Lightning
Touka might not wear her glasses, but with her sight, it was better for her to rely on her ability to sense the subtle signals of her opponent's body.
With this ability, even if she cut off her eyesight, it didn't really bother her much.
Touka looked at Sara and thought about their previous battle. Back then, it was hard to determine the winner between the two, but when Sara created the caricature of Edelweiss, she realized the gap between the two.
However, she wouldn't back down, and she would definitely win!
"This time, let's settle the duel between us."
"I will win."
Sara said stubbornly.
Similar to Touka, Sara could tell how troublesome her opponent was. She couldn't take this battle lightly. Instead, she used everything in this match. She had to win this battle, or else she couldn't get him into her nude model.
Her focus was 100% stronger.
No, 120%!
Her dreams, her aspirations, and her "very" being were put in place at this moment.
Even if people were looking down on her or speechless because of why she put everything into this, she didn't care.
Yet...
*Burst!*
The aura of Touka suddenly exploded.
It was as if her entire body had become lightning.
*Crackle! Crackle!*
After Amane had used his power before, while it was already sunny, the city was quite cloudy.
The battle between Shizuku and Kiriko also caused the amount of water and vapor in this area to increase, causing humidity that affected the current weather.
In other words, this situation worked best for Touka, especially with her power that made her able to control the lightning.
*BOOM! BOOM!*
The thunder roared.
Everyone became nervous since this situation reminded them of Amane's.
Fortunately, the one who caused this change was Touka, so they were pretty relieved.
Yet, for the committee, it was extremely nerve-racking since the lightning caused by Touka interrupted the signal broadcasting and almost all the electric trial devices in this place.
This situation wasn't much different from the judgment day caused by Amane.
Thunder. Lightning. Electricity.
Those elements had always been known as the fiercest.
It was also an element used by the god, the mighty, and everything.
Touka, at this moment, was quite different from before. Her hair swayed like straight, chaotic waves, giving a wild and demonic charm, which was something that something unlikely appeared on her. Her eyes blazed with electricity, sharp and threatening.
Sara shuddered for a moment.
It was only her instinct, but she could tell that Touka had become several times stronger than in the past!
---
"Did you expose it to your disciple?" Edelweiss was in shock when she saw Touka's state. She didn't doubt it, and she knew Touka had become Desperado!
This fact shocked her since she didn't expect to see many Desperados in the same place!
Including Tsukasa, Nangou, Nene, and herself, there should be only four Desperados.
Yet there was one more!
In other words, there were four Desperados in this country!
Knowing this, she knew the world wouldn't be calm.
"Haha..." Nangou only laughed and said, "It's not me, but it's that brat."
"......"
Somehow while Edelweiss was dumbfounded, she didn't feel surprised since she knew he could bring a miracle.
"Now, show that brat that you're capable, my disciple."
Nangou smiled and thought that Touka was going to shake him.
The change in Touka brought shock to everyone.
Nene, Stella, Kurono, and everyone at the Hagun Academy were in a daze.
Only a few were alright, like Tsukasa and Kiriko, since they knew how strong Touka had become.
At the booth of the Akatsuki Academy, all the members of this academy had left. The only one that was left was Rinna Kazamatsuri and her maid cat, Charlotte. The two stared at Sara worriedly since, even if they were slightly weird, they could tell how strong Touka was.
Sara was nervous, her body was shaking, and her spirit was swayed.
However, the thought that she wouldn't be able to draw his naked body after she lost this match suddenly appeared on her mind and also pushed her even further. Her body might be weak, but her mind was one of the brightest.
Somehow, it was only for a moment, but Sara felt the world was moving in slow motion.
No, the time seemed to stop around her.
Her brain moved at the speed of light, forcing her to become even stronger.
Yet Touka was unfazed.
While Touka noticed Sara's change, her expression didn't change, expressionless, cold like the goddess of calamity that seemed unconcerned about the mortals that were stricken by disasters. She held the handle of her blade and the scabbard at the same time, ready to draw it anytime as soon as the battle started.
Sara also held her brush and palette in her hands, ready to draw anytime.
The audience, host, Yuuzou, and everyone who watched this battle were also affected by the solemnity of this battle.
No one said words, and they seemed to have agreed to watch this battle in silence since they knew this battle would be determined as soon as possible.
The wind, the waves, and the sounds of the heartbeat were clearly heard.
Until...
"Let's go ahead!"
The moment the battle started, Sara didn't waste her time and started to draw. She was about to dive into the battle circle, hiding before she made her caricature, but Touka didn't let her do that.
As her mind was moving at the speed of light, Sara somehow caught her figure. However, even if her mind could, her body couldn't do that!
'Move! Move! Move!'
Sara kept screaming since if she lost, she wouldn't be able to draw him!
She begged, cried, roared, and even prayed. Unfortunately, all of the attempts were useless.
Touka became lightning and zapped from her spot behind Sara.
"......."
The world was devoid of noise.
*Click!*
Touka sheathed her sword back.
Sara plopped on the ground, and the world returned to how it used to be.
Touka's state returned to normal, and she stared at Tsukasa. Unlike her loving and gentle gaze that she had always shown him. This time she showed a calm yet tempestuous expression like a storm that was about to wreck everything.
Still, Tsukasa realized that he had gotten hard.
