Stay focus

"What do you mean by that?" Sakuya asked with doubt.

While it was true that Sakuya had decided to make herself into the bait, she had a feeling the main target of her opponent this time was the underground laboratory under the Kouryou Academy. They might send a soldier to take down the branch of the Kouryou Academy, but definitely, their number wouldn't be much.

However, his words made her start to doubt. "Can you explain it to me in more detail?"

Tsukasa looked at Sakuya's expression for a moment and nodded. "If I am the villain or your enemy, I'll prepare in case my plan fails. The underground laboratory is, without a doubt, a delicious place, and I'll aim for that place. However, I'll also attack this island since you're here, and it is also the reason why you come here, so you'll become their bait, right?"

Tsukasa didn't understand why they were so surprised by his words since he felt it was simple.

"...That's true."

"They might send many people here. After all, unlike Exceed, whose number is limited. A normal soldier, as long as they wear that battle armor, can match an Exceed. However, if Rito decides to rampage, no matter how many people they send, they won't beat her."

Lilith and Sakuya nodded since they knew how powerful Level V was.

It was so powerful, and mere junk that was made by their opponents would never match them.

"So, what's the problem?" Lilith asked.

"I know I can't match Level V, so shouldn't I prepare a different approach?"

"Approaches?"

"Yeah. They will attack all the students and this branch academy, so Rito will need to fight them, and when Rito is busy, I'll send a group of small elites like three or four people to catch Sakuya." Tsukasa looked at the two and asked, "What do you think?" It might be a simple plan, but in the modern war, while a strategy and a terrain advantage were necessary, it wasn't the main factor for one to win the battle, especially in this type of world where the power of an individual was enough to overturn everything.

"....."

Sakuya and Lilith were in silence and felt 100% of what Tsukasa had said would happen.

"Should I send more reinforcement here?" While it was quite sudden, it was possible to send more Exceeds to protect this place.

"What do you want to do? If you want, I can defeat them all easily by hacking their battle armor, making them self-destruct," Tsukasa said calmly.

"...." Sakuya and Lilith.

"Can you handle them?" Sakuya asked.

"Even without hacking them, I can handle them." Tsukasa looked at Sakuya with a smile and said, "Don't forget, I am Level IV, and I have developed many interesting abilities."

"What kind?" Lilith asked curiously.

"Like this."

Tsukasa suddenly vanished and became invisible.

"...."

"As long as they don't drop a nuclear bomb here, I should be able to protect everyone here," Tsukasa said and appeared once again.

While Sakuya was amazed by his ability, Lilith felt this was the ability that she wanted to get when she became Level IV.

Lilith was a hunter, and by becoming invisible, she knew she could become even stronger.

"Protecting you, protecting this place, and defeating the enemy. It might seem difficult for others, but not for me, so you don't need to worry and just do what you want to do."

While Tsukasa might have said many things before, in the end, what he needed to do was just to beat them up, and frankly, with his power, there weren't many things that could defeat him in this world.

Even a nuclear bomb also couldn't defeat him since they needed time to prepare one, and before they sent him one, he might have already made them disappear from this world.

"Tsukasa..." Sakuya couldn't look away from Tsukasa, and she just wanted to leap from him.

However, Lilith pushed away Sakuya and said, "Don't do it. I don't want him to go to jail."

"....."

Tsukasa let out a sigh of relief and said, "So, it's done, right? I am quite sleepy now. I want to go back."

"Wait a moment."

"Hmm?"

"Don't you want to tell me something?"

"Tell you what?" Tsukasa looked at Tsukasa with a confused expression.

"Don't you ask why the students who have failed the Qualification Ceremony can be here?" Sakuya asked since she was prepared to be mocked as someone cold, considering she had sent all the failed students mercilessly.

However, Tsukasa's reaction was out of her expectations.

"Not really."

"Why?"

"Their existence here is obvious. If they're not here, the students in the main school won't feel pressured, and they won't work hard since they'll think they'll get a stable job as long as they graduate from school. Also, the existence of Exceed is rare. Only one among thousands can become one. If I become you, I won't throw them out."

Tsukasa had expected he would meet Imari in the future, but he wasn't sure when. However, he wouldn't say it since he didn't want to give her false hope. Instead, he was just greedy for her lips and body.

Her first kiss should leave her with a good memory instead of a complex one, especially when they meet in a while and would be greeted by many beautiful girls around him.

"It's great that you know." Sakuya nodded, but there was one thing that she didn't tell him. If there was really someone who was worthless among the new students, she wouldn't hesitate to throw them out so as long as she could achieve the Absolute Duo.

"I'll go back this time. I need to prepare a tent, or else I won't have a place to sleep." Tsukasa didn't want to stay here any longer and wanted to escape. However, he couldn't appear so, or else they would ask him to sleep with them.

If Tsukasa stayed with Lilith, it would be okay, but he didn't want to stay with Sakuya since he was afraid he might need to go to jail for that.

"Hmm, can you not make a house with your Blaze?" Lilith suddenly asked.

Sakuya also looked at Tsukasa curiously, wondering why he didn't do that.

"It should be possible, but if I rest, the Blaze will also deactivate, right? Also, do you think it is easy to picture someone as detailed as a house? I need detailed information, and it is troublesome. I also need to summon my Blaze all the time, even if I sleep. It is tiring. I just want to sleep and rest, alright?"

Tsukasa could make a house anytime, but he didn't want to since he had a feeling Lilith or Sakuya would try to sleep with him, so he had prepared a reason beforehand.

Lilith and Sakuya nodded at the same time, thinking his explanation was understandable.

"Okay, then, Sakuya, we'll go back now." Lilith waved her hand with a smile.

However, Sakuya quickly grabbed Lilith's hand and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Of course, I am going to sleep with my darling." Lilith showed confusion.

"...Do you think I'll let you?" Sakuya gritted her teeth.

When the two bickered each other, Tsukasa slipped secretly and went to visit Rito, who had been waiting for him, and without doubt, his first night in this place was wonderful.
