- The world's strongest Blazer.
Everyone understands what this title represents.
So, when Kagami Kusakabe finished her narrative, the entire cafeteria had become silent at some point.
All the students were immersed as if recalling an extremely familiar yet never tiresome myth, each with a look of longing and admiration.
There's no way around it.
Any Blazer desires the title of the strongest.
Any Blazer aspires to reach the pinnacle.
The existence known as Tenkai represents the ultimate desire of all Blazers, the greatest pursuit and achievement of this life.
Frankly speaking, he is someone who truly stood against the world, and even emerged victorious.
When hearing about the deeds of such a person, no one can help but be immersed.
When hearing about such a person, no one can help but yearn.
This is what a mysterious and powerful Blazer has carved into this world over the past ten years.
"So, a long time ago, whether it was the Union, the League, or the Rebellion, they have all publicly announced that they will no longer antagonize Tenkai, and will acknowledge any actions he takes, reconcile with him, and seek a way to coexist in this world."
Kagami Kusakabe continued to chatter.
"Even so, there are still many strong individuals searching for traces of Tenkai, hoping to challenge him for the title of the strongest."
"For example, the strongest swordsman Twin-Wings Edelweiss has been searching for traces of Tenkai, a well-known fact in the industry."
"And there's also Carlo Bertoni, known as the Campione, ranked second in the world, who enjoys the reputation of being the strongest hydromancer in the world. He has always hoped to have a showdown with Tenkai."
"Others include the current God of War of the Chinese Shinryuu Temple, the Great Teacher, and the fighters known as the Four Xian, the top ten ranked individuals in the A-rank league of KOK, and various renowned knights. They all hope to have a battle with Tenkai."
"Moreover, there are many different beings who do not seek to fight Tenkai but only seek to explore his secrets or learn his true identity. For this purpose, they have been pursuing that person."
"It can be said that the mysterious and powerful Blazer is the goal of all Blazers and proble-seekers in modern times. The number of people who want to fight him is countless, and the number of people defeated by him is even more countless. So far, no one has been able to make him taste defeat."
At this point, Kagami Kusakabe suddenly looked at Ikki with a smile.
"Kurogane-senpai should also have some understanding of Tenkai, right? It is said that the great hero of the Kurogane family, Samurai Ryoma, had a encounter with him, right?"
This sentence caused everyone's gaze in the room to focus on Ikki.
To this, Ikki just scratched his cheek and did not deny it.
"... That was a long time ago for me." Ikki said helplessly. "I heard that there was a very mysterious guest at home at that time, seemingly traveling the world in search of something, passing by the Kurogane family, and meeting my great-grandfather, who was still alive at the time, and even had a fight."
At that time, Ikki was just like the other children, watching from the window of the mansion.
"Just like the rumors, I could clearly see him, but I had no idea what he looked like, not even remembering his appearance at all. I only knew that he was wearing a black, magnificent coat and completely ignoring the nervous and vigilant adults in the house, walking straight towards the back mountain to meet my great-grandfather, who was still retired at the time."
Ikki said so.
"I only glanced at him from afar. Later, I heard that my great-grandfather fought him and lost, but my great-grandfather seemed very satisfied because before he passed away, he had such a strong person willing to fight him and defeat him, allowing him to spend the last happy time."
Since then, Ikki has remembered the name Tenkai completely.
Especially when he learned that even the strongest swordsman, Twin-Wings Edelweiss, had an battle of unknown outcome with Tenkai, Ikki engraved this name in his heart even more deeply.
"If possible, I really hope to meet him again. I just don't know when it will happen."
Ikki said with longing.
This should also be the common dream in the hearts of all those who pursue Tenkai, right?
"Just as I heard, he is truly an extraordinary person."
Stella Vermillion expressed her thoughts, seeming both curious and skeptical.
"But, is he really that mysterious? No one knows his true identity until now?"
Stella Vermillion expressed some doubts about this.
After all, it has been ten years, and the other party still has such a big reputation and record in this world. If that's the case, he shouldn't still be that mysterious.
In fact, that's the case.
"After ten years, people have three aspects of understanding of Tenkai," Kagami Kusakabe said, holding up three fingers.
"First: Although we don't know Tenkai's true abilities and Device, or even if he can really use multiple abilities and weapons, he possesses some kind of skill that can suddenly increase his strength in critical moments. This is the power he relied on to defeat the three major forces jointly, as if it were some kind of seal."
"Second: The age of the world's strongest Blazer is not very old. Because ten years ago, he appeared to be the size of a child. So, even though his true identity has not been confirmed yet, his age is estimated to be less than twenty years old, younger than the American Hero."
"Third: This mysterious and powerful Blazer seems to have been searching for something all along and is still wandering around the world."
"These are the only things people can confirm about Tenkai."
"Besides, even if people can see his appearance, they can't see it clearly, and even if they see it clearly, they can't remember it. Every time he appears, he wears a black coat. During battle, that coat emits brilliant sparks, as if it were his Device."
"These are the characteristics of Tenkai."
Kagami Kusakabe's explanation made both Ikki and Stella Vermillion fall into contemplation.
Even the other people in the restaurant began to engage in deep conversations and whispers about Tenkai.
Rozen could only watch this scene silently, saying nothing on the surface, but feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.
"Whatever, I'm just an ordinary student now. Yeah, that's right, just an ordinary student."
Apart from being a student, everything else has nothing to do with the current Rozen.
No matter how big the commotion is, it's all the same.
