Forgive? Are you dreaming?

The Device, the weapon manifested by every Blazer, could harm people.

However, in illusionary form, the Device wouldn't leave a wound, injuries, or even the slightest scar on someone's body. Instead, it would only drain stamina, making one tired and, in severe cases, fall into a coma.

In the battle where the Akatsuki Academy attacked the Hagun Academy, all the members of the Akatsuki Academy set up their Devices in the illusionary form.

Even the cold and inhumane ones like Kurogane Ouma also maintained his Device in the illusionary form all the time.

As if there was a tacit understanding, everyone at the Hagun Academy also used the illusionary form to fight.

Thanks to this, neither of them died.

Otherwise, as long as one didn't activate the illusionary form, everyone would use the real form of the Device.

Whether for self-protection or to protect others, it would turn into a bloody battle.

Therefore, they were quite restrained since they knew they couldn't kill anyone in that battle.

In the end, the Akatsuki Academy walked away after he admitted that they had lost.

However, the contradiction between Hagun Academy and Akatsuki Academy had never been about life and death.

"So, in your opinion, that battle isn't a big deal?"

Sara was silent and couldn't refute his words since she thought so.

As long as they were alive, everything was okay.

She was a terrorist and had been active in the underground world. She had helped "Rebellion" complete various tasks, and her hands were covered with blood.

The previous battle was nothing but another task for her.

"...just what do you want to do with me?"

Tsukasa sighed.

Facing her silence, he temporarily avoided the topic since he wondered what this young woman wanted to do with him.

"I want you to be my nude model!"

When talking about this topic, Sara was awoken, and she became excited.

"??????"

"??????"

"??????"

Tsukasa, Touka, and Kurogane siblings all made a series of question marks.

Confusion, weirdness, disgust, etc., expressions appeared on their faces.

"I have always wanted to complete a certain painting no matter what! I have been looking for an ideal model for that painting, but I can't find it no matter how many years...! Cough! Sorry, I choked a bit."

When her expression suddenly became excited, she coughed slightly.

They fell silent since it was their first time seeing someone choke on her own salivae during an excitement.

"Ahem... until I meet you in that exhibition hall! I knew instantly that you were the perfect model I was looking for!"

Sara continued to explain why she was obsessed with him.

He understood everything.

Artist obsession.

No wonder she tried to take off his clothes in public as soon as she saw him.

She wanted to check whether his naked body was suitable for her model or not.

The result, naturally, was suitable, and it was the reason why she was obsessed with him.

However, what she did was unethical and far from normal.

Still, every artist had one or two Quirks, right?

"Is that okay?"

Sara looked at him nervously.

His expression was quite subtle.

"Of course not!"

Touka took a step forward and refused loudly.

"I didn't ask you!"

"I answered your question in his place!"

"He isn't a child anymore! You can't represent his answer!"

"I am his lover!"

Touka was full of hostility, ready to explode anytime. She looked at Sara like a terrorist, full of vigilance and disgust.

Well, Sara was a terrorist.

"It's my first time seeing Toudou-san like this."

"Me too."

The Kurogane siblings beside them were surprised to see this side of Touka.

"Tsukasa, you think so, right?"

Touka looked at Tsukasa and tried to hold her anger at Sara.

"She is a strange woman! It's impossible for her to see your body! How can such a sacred body be seen by such a slutty woman like her?!"

"I am a virgin."

Sara couldn't help but refute Touka's slander.

"You shut up!"

Touka interrupted Sara loudly.

"Sacred..."

His expression became even more subtle.

Even though Sara was abnormal, he found out that Touka was also quite abnormal.

He didn't know when his body had become sacred before her eyes.

"You don't need to worry, Touka-nee. The answer is clear. I refuse."

Tsukasa held Touka's waist and pulled her closer to him.

Because of their quarrel, everyone present cast a strange gaze on them.

"...why?"

Sara almost passed out and couldn't breathe.

After a while, she asked with a gloomy expression.

"You said that when you attacked Hagun Academy, you deliberately kept your Device in illusionary form, right?"

He narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"But did you do that on your initiative?"

"........"

Sara was silent.

Her expression clearly answered everything.

He could tell that she wasn't good at lying.

"You were ordered by Bakuga Tsukikage, right?"

He slowly revealed the truth.

Bakuga Tsukikage was the country's prime minister and the man who planned the series of events that happened at the Hagun Academy behind the scenes.

Because he was the prime minister, he wouldn't kill students.

If he killed the students of the Hagun Academy, how could he face the country?

If he did such a thing, his career would die, and it would be impossible to become a prime minister anymore. Not only was it impossible to take power to master Mage-knight from the League of Mage-Knight Nations, but he would also die socially!

Therefore, Sara and the others used the illusionary form to fight them. Not because they didn't want to kill them, but because Bakuga asked them not to kill anyone!

If Bakuga ordered them to kill, would the students from the Akatsuki Academy refuse?

"So, don't use that reason to apologize."

Tsukasa finished his talk and suddenly changed the topic.

"One more thing, do you have family or friends?"

"Family...?"

Her eyes suddenly became gloomy and strange.

While she didn't say anything, he could see a lonely aura exuding from her body.

"No? It's normal that you don't understand."

Tsukasa nodded, then his expression turned colder. "For me, just hurting my friends, family, and the people I care about with bad memories is enough reason for them to become my enemy!"

Apologize?

It was already too late.

They took the initiative to cause trouble, so they shouldn't expect him to forgive them.

As for their previous defeat?

They only need to defeat them in the competition.

However, what he cared about the most was that they had hurt the people he cared about, and it was impossible to forgive them so easily.
