Eh?

The sun had just risen, and the venue and sea were still basked by the orange light, yet many people had appeared at the venue. The final of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival would start in a few hours, yet their excitement couldn't be contained, so some of them even stayed in the tent, so they could arrive at the venue as soon as possible.

Even though Yuuzou had told them that there might be a danger in their life when they watched this match, it didn't stop their enthusiasm.

The morning in the summer was quite cold, yet their bodies felt hot, feeling the spirits of two contestants that were about to start their battle soon.

Stella also couldn't stay calm, and she didn't even fall asleep, especially when she thought about her battle. She also wanted to get used to the power that she had just gained last night.

"This power..."

She knew that once someone knew about the Lukifer, they would be like a hungry beast that couldn't care about the consequences, trying to get it. However, she was confident that she could protect everyone since she believed in her strength now.

Naturally, she had become a Level V Lukifer, and her physical ability, magic, Device, and her ability had increased even more.

It was an amazing improvement, and she also knew why Touka and Kiriko could be so strong. Naturally, it was the same as Tsukasa, yet unlike the two of them, his power was on a different level, so she had to work harder or else she might not be able to defeat him.

As she swung her sword, she looked in the direction of his room, wondering what he was doing.

"Now, it is the time that we have been waiting for! I am sure that everyone here is as excited as I am, right?"

"OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!"

It was like the eruption of a volcano. Their roar shook the venue, and no one held back, using all of their might to scream as loud as they could.

As for fear?

This little shaking on the ground was nothing compared to all the previous battles they had watched.

Whether it was Hagun Academy, Bukyouku Academy, or the rest of the students of the Academies of Mage-Knight came to watch this watch since today was the day that the champion of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival would be determined.

Ikki and Shizuku naturally sat on their seats already with the rest. They had come so early to watch this match since they didn't want to miss it.

Kagami Kusakabe and Ayase Ayatsuji also came to cheer for their men.

No one was going to miss this match since this match, without a doubt, would enter history.

"My body is trembling. Thinking about the final, I can't even sleep from the excitement." The host could hardly stay calm, and he didn't even fall asleep thinking about the final of this event.

"Me too. With my age, I should sleep early, but I can't sleep." Yuuzou also let out a long sigh, sipping the warm tea, which prepared for him to calm his nerve.

Honestly, most of them couldn't fall asleep thinking about today's match.

Crimson Princess and Sakra.

The most talented would fight against the strongest swordsmen world.

If the two collided, who would win?

This question had been on everyone's mind for a day, and no one could get it out of their mind. Even betting organizers also had bloodshots in their eyes since it was hard to determine who would be the winner between the two.

"Yuuzou-san, what do you think of this match? Who will win?"

"You sure asked me such a blunt question." Yuuzou let out a long sigh but said, "Honestly, it is hard to determine the winner between the two. The Crimson Princess is known as the most talented Blazer that was born in history and the world. She has the highest amount of magic in history too. Her ability to manipulate the concept of a dragon is definitely a fearsome ability. Her physical ability is enough to smash 1,000 meters of the tsunami, her flame is enough to melt anything, and her magic is strong enough to create her own gravity!"

He then took a deep breath and gulped the water for a moment before letting out a long sigh. "As for Sakra, you're all clear, right? Honestly, I am not really sure about his power since it is still a mystery, but as someone who has become the strongest swordsman, there is no doubt about his ability.

"I can be so sure that even if one of them wins, no one will say anything since the two of them are powerful."

What he didn't say was that he didn't have the confidence to defeat them, and he knew that he might even die from watching this battle, but even so, he would stay here to watch this match in this place, or else he would regret it.

"That's true. Whether it is the Crimson Princess or the Sakra, it won't be weird for any of them to become the champion, so how about we start the match right away since I am sure that everyone can't wait anymore."

Everyone agreed that the faster the match started, the better it was since instead of hearing the crosstalk between the host and Yuuzou, everyone wanted to see the match between Stella and Tsukasa.

"Now, let us welcome her! She is the princess of the Vermillion Kingdom! She is also the holder of the biggest magic in the story! She is also the most talented Blazer in the world! Her power is obvious to all, especially in the semi-final yesterday when she smashed 1,000 meters tsunami!"

"......." Kiriko stared at the host silently.

Unfortunately, the host didn't notice Kiriko's gaze.

"Now, please come in! Hagun Academy, Crimson Princess, Stella Vermillion!"

As the scream of the host fell, the audience let out a roar of excitement.

Stella also walked to the battle circle with a determined expression and intense pressure. When she entered, the hot temperature started to hit everyone.

Fortunately, Kurono, Nene, and Nangou had strengthened the barrier to the limit.

"Where is she?"

Still, Nangou wondered where Edelweiss was since he couldn't see her anywhere. He also couldn't hear Tsukasa's voice and the voice of the panicked committee since they couldn't find him anywhere. Suddenly, his expression became subtle, wondering whether the thing in his imagination happened in reality.

"I am sure that everyone is familiar with him! As someone who has mastered the strongest swordsmanship, he has shown amazing strength in each of his fights. His power is also mysterious. Yet one thing is for sure. We can be sure that he is one of the strongest!

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

As the host's voice fell, the audience screamed, but soon, everything became quiet since Tsukasa didn't come out.

"...."

"Eh?"
