Touka vs Tsukasa

"I know that I have been saying this several times, but I can't wait to watch this match."

"Yes, you have said those words several times, but I agree with you since I want to see this match as soon as possible.

The host and Yuuzou were talking excitedly about the match that might happen soon.

The fight between Stella and Kiriko might have shaken everyone's heart, especially the sheer destruction caused by their power.

Stella had an intense flame that was enough to melt anything and a power that was enough to smash anything.

On the other hand, Kiriko's manipulation of water was so amazing that she might be able to drown the entire city.

The two of them were powerful, and it wouldn't be strange for the two of them to become the strongest ones of their generation.

Yet they knew that there were two people that might have a might comparable or more than the two of them.

Touka Toudou and Kugayama Tsukasa.

"I am sure that many people know who Raikiri is. She is the champion of last year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. Last year, she showed mighty strength with a railgun ability to defeat Star of Naniwa, but this time, she didn't even need to use that technique to defeat him. Instead, she used her trademark ability, Raikiri, to defeat him.

"......." Yuudai Moroboshi.

"After the Star of Naniwa, she also defeated the Bloody Da Vinci, but this time, she defeated her with the ultimate speed, causing the Bloody Da Vinci to lose instantly.

"......."

Sara Bloodlily stared at the host in silence, but suddenly her shoulder was patted. She looked at Rinna Kazumatsuri, who stared at her.

"Don't mind."

"My lady says, "Don't mind."

"......" Sara.

"Now, her opponent is the Sakra. He should be the strongest opponent that she is going to face in this event. As for whether she can defeat him or not, I am not even sure how to answer this question."

It was hard to determine who would be the winner between Tsukasa and Touka.

Tsukasa had mastered the strongest swordsmanship in the world, but Touka could become as fast as lightning. It wouldn't be weird for either of them to become the champion of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.

"Kiriko-san."

Kiriko, who returned to the booth where the students of Hagun Academy stayed, was greeted by everyone, especially Shizuku.

"Shizuku."

"It's a shame that you lost..." Shizuku sighed and also felt regret as if Kiriko's defeat was hers. However, Stella was too strong!

Still, in her eyes, Stella was no longer a girl but an orc.

"It's okay. She isn't a girl, but a dragon on the girl's skin."

"That's true."

"Hey, I am here! Are you sure that you talk bad about me?" Stella stared at the two of them expressionlessly.

Kiriko and Shizuku sat naturally between Stella.

Stella didn't say anything since their relationship was close.

"By the way, how can you be so strong?" Stella couldn't help but ask since she felt Kiriko was too strong, especially since Kiriko's reaction was so fast. While she tried to stop her fist, she knew it was impossible for one to dodge, but Kiriko could dodge it smoothly and at ease. She didn't talk about training with Tsukasa after they met and what they did was only mating, so she couldn't help but feel curious, wondering whether he gave her something to boost her power.

Shizuku perked her ears, trying to listen carefully.

However, Kiriko only smiled. "How about we watch this match first? If he is stronger than you imagine, I will try to help you." She had given help to Touka last night, so even if she gave the Lukifer to Stella, it was nothing.

"Okay." Stella nodded since she was also quite curious about this match.

While Shizuku was curious about what they were talking about, she knew it wasn't her place to join their conversation. Instead, she looked at the battle circle, ignoring the rambling of the host and Yuuzou-san. "Who do you think will win?"

"Tsukasa." 2x

Unexpectedly, Stella and Kiriko answered at the same time.

"Why? Isn't Touka-san strong? She can become lightning."

Even Shizuku didn't think she was confident to face Touka. She had been defeated by Touka once before, and this time she saw she had become even stronger. Before she was able to do something, she believed that she would be cut down.

If one said that Touka was the fastest Blazer in the world, no one would deny it.

Lightning might be slower than light, but in this world, who has the ability to become light?

Even Ikki, who had become Desperado and used "Ittou Shura," didn't think that he was faster than Touka. If there was something that he believed that he was better than her, it would be his swordsmanship, power, and one-hit attack. However, if Touka escaped and ran away, there was nothing that he could do.

Yet Stella and Kiriko didn't doubt Tsukasa's victory.

Was he that strong?

Shizuku knew that Tsukasa was strong, and he even defeated his older brother. Still, it might be because of that she couldn't help but feel annoyed toward him.

"It's because of this that you lost so badly to Kiriko," Stella said with a sigh.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Shizuku was furious.

"Just watch, okay? Even if I explain it to you, you won't understand anyway, or just ask your older brother since I am sure that he will lovingly explain it to you." Stella couldn't help but tease the forbidden relationship between Shizuku and Ikki. The two might not say anything, but it was already an open secret that they were together.

Hearing those words, Shizuku only smiled, but Ikki, who didn't say anything, blushed.

"What are you blushing for?" Arisuin nudged Ikki's side.

"Alice!" Ikki was embarrassed, but he didn't say much afterward since the match between Tsukasa, and Touka was about to start.

"Now, it is the time that we have been waiting for! Let us welcome them! Hagun Academy, Raikiri, Touka Todou!"

A beautiful girl with a sharp and beautiful countenance walked out to the battle circle. She held her sword, walking straight without looking away from the passage on her opposite side.

"Oh! Even from my place, I can feel how intense her fighting spirit is!"

"Yeah, I am sure that it will be an exciting battle!"

The host and Yuuzou were all excited, and finally, they welcomed Touka's opponent.

"Now, let us welcome him! Hagun Academy, Sakra, Kugayama Tsukasa!"

As the host's voice fell, Tsukasa walked out from the passage.
