-1388- The hidden threat

"Wh-What are you doing...!?"

"Nothing, just hugging you."

"T-There are so many people here..."

"So what? Are you embarrassed?"

"No, I'm not...!"

"Then it's fine."

"Mmm...."

Seeing Rozen holding Edelweiss with a smile, completely ignoring the crowd around them, Edelweiss, although a bit flustered, did not refuse Rozen at all. She blushed and accepted his embrace, leaving everyone feeling quite shocked.

Although they had already heard about the relationship between the two from Edelweiss, knowing that their relationship wasn't just that of ordinary friends, seeing the world's strongest swordswoman acting shy and being held by their classmate was still like living in a dream for everyone.

Who would have thought that the woman hailed as the world's most evil criminal, admired by many swordsmen worldwide as the Valkyrie, would have such a girlish side?

And though Rozen was the world's strongest Blazer, he was still someone they were familiar with. Seeing someone they knew win over the legendary Valkyrie was quite shocking.

But now, everyone understood two things.

One, Edelweiss's presence at Hagun Academy and her role as a lecturer were entirely due to Rozen being there.

Initially, after the Rebellion members attacked Hagun Academy under Akatsuki Academy's name, there were suspicions about Edelweiss, who was on good terms with Rebellion, possibly having ulterior motives. But now, it seemed those worries were unfounded.

The other thing was that it was clear these two were definitely together.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be acting like this.

Now, everyone finally understood why Edelweiss had been in such a good mood back then.

It turned out that this Valkyrie's ten-year-long pursuit of love had finally borne fruit.

The boys and girls felt differently envious.

The boys envied Rozen for winning the heart of a beauty.

After all, Edelweiss was a stunning woman, and everyone had seen her gentle and kind side. Just imagining having such a beauty making sweets at home every day and looking at them with a sweet smile made the boys envious to the point of jealousy.

The girls envied the relationship itself.

From Rozen standing alone against three major forces, leaving for the sake of both parties, to Edelweiss persistently searching for him for two years, not giving up, plus the past eight years of daily interactions, their relationship was quite the journey.

Now, seeing this relationship blossom right before their eyes, the girls, being in their youth, couldn't help but be envious.

Even Stella and Touka couldn't help but feel this way.

This was Stella and Touka's thought.

Then...

This was Shizuku's thought, causing her to stare at Ikki, almost emitting strange light.

"Ugh...!"

Ikki suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if something extremely dangerous was staring at him, making him look around nervously.

In any case, everyone was now certain that Rozen was indeed "Tenkai" himself.

"That explains it." Misogi Utakata sighed, "Whether it's the feat of blocking Touka's Raikiri with a single finger or summoning those terrifying golems, it's all due to Tenkai's abilities."

If he really had multiple abilities, all these feats were achievable.

"It's not just multiple abilities, but also multiple Devices." Totokubara Kanata recalled, "That white spear should also be Arnett-kun's Device, right?"

This statement reminded everyone of that moment.

They recalled the holy spear that had instantly killed the One-Armed Swordsman, piercing his heart.

Everyone knew that Rozen's Device could bind and seal magical power with chains.

But that spear was an entirely different Device.

Rozen had summoned a second Device, confirming the rumor that he had multiple Devices.

Chains, the holy spear, and the rumored black coat that Tenkai always wore, Rozen already had three Devices.

And each Device was more formidable than the last.

Leaving aside the other two, just that holy spear alone...

"If I'm not mistaken, that spear should have the ability to completely nullify magical power, right?"

Edelweiss, no longer shy, took a deep breath and calmed down before asking this question.

"That's right." Rozen didn't hide it and openly admitted, "It can cut through all barriers and nullify all magical power. That's Tenyuryo's ability."

Upon hearing this, everyone, though they had speculated, was still shocked.

This wasn't just nullifying abilities but completely nullifying magical power.

You have to know, Blazers' battles are primarily based on using magical power. Aside from extreme cases like Ikki, others would at least use magical power to enhance their physical abilities or apply magical protection to increase defense during fights, let alone use abilities.

If magical power could be nullified, all Blazers would become ordinary people, powerless before Rozen.

Moreover, if magical power could be completely nullified, even the Blazers' Devices would become useless.

After all, Devices are the manifestations of the soul and crystals of magical power, fundamentally formed by magical power.

Thus, this spear was truly a Blazer killer.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but think of someone.

That person was the Seven Stars Sword King, Moroboshi Yuudai.

That person possessed a Noble Art that could devour magical power, and his Device was also a spear.

However, compared to Rozen's Tenyuryo's ability, his Device was far inferior.

What the crowd didn't know was that to perfect the ability of the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven, Rozen not only used the holy spear as its core but also added top-tier materials such as the hearts of strategic-class golems, dragon scales, and divine spirit stones carrying divine energy. He also improved the Divine Vibration Wave Drive Formula, making the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven not just an artificial divine energy but genuine divine energy.

Therefore, Rozen's Tenyuryo's power surpassed even Sekkaro by many levels.

But it was precisely because of this that Rozen discovered a secret about the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven.

A terrifying secret.

This made Rozen's face darken somewhat.

If Himeragi Yukina continued to use Sekkaro, perhaps an irreversible disaster would occur in the future.

Those people dared to give such a dangerous item to Yukina?

"Seems like I'll need to have a serious talk with them next time."

Rozen thought to himself.
