Another one

While the world was wondering whether the match between the Crimson Princess and the Sakra might destroy a city or two.

That discussion had nothing to do with either Stella or Tsukasa. After all, even if they destroyed a city or two, they didn't really need to worry, especially with Kurono as their principal and a teacher.

Kurono's ability was to manipulate time, and as long as she was there, no matter how severe the damage caused by their battle, she could return everything to how it used to be.

In other words, even if they were going all out, everything would be okay.

The only problem was probably someone might be hurt since their power wasn't something that could be stopped by a mere barrier.

Still, leaving the matter of battle preparation aside since it was the trouble of the committee, Stella brought everyone with her. Usually, she would do her battle upfront without using any tricks. She also didn't even bother to read the information of her opponent since this was how the battle usually was. However, this time, it was different since she knew in the final her opponent wasn't someone that she could fight without using her head.

Stella knew that she needed to think of a strategy. She brought all of his girlfriends, talking about his power.

"So let's discuss him."

While she talked, she continued to eat since all the food she ate tonight would become part of her magic for the battle tomorrow. The more she ate, the better it was. Everyone also knew about this matter, so they didn't comment, but Kanata, who was from a wealthy family, couldn't help but complain. "You're a princess. You should watch how you act."

"Haha..."

Stella could only laugh, but she didn't bother to argue before looking at everyone, waiting for their answer.

They were all gathered in the training area, the place where the candidates could train.

Among them were Nene, Kiriko, Touka, and Kanata.

There was no need for others, and this number was enough since they were all the ones who knew him the best. Still, they felt sorry for Tsukasa since they had to leave him alone, which made them wonder whether he was lonely or not.

"Well, the first thing is his swordsmanship. You know, his swordsmanship should have matched the best or even better than the Twin-Wings, the strongest swordsman in the world."

Kanata had no doubt about how strong her man was. Instead, she felt he was the strongest.

Everyone nodded since they knew his swordsmanship was the best.

"But don't doubt that his achievements in other martial arts aren't any worse. Whether it's marksmanship, bowmanship, spearmanship, or any other, they've all reached the level at which a mortal can't possibly achieve," Touka said while pushing the frame of her glasses.

They were at a loss for a while since this guy was just ridiculously strong.

"Leaving his mastery over martial arts and swordsmanship aside, you should think about his ability," Nene suddenly said.

"Ability?"

"His concept of weapons is ridiculous. He can strengthen his weapons, attacks, and many others hundreds of times or more. He can also make a variety of weapons now, from modern weapons to magical weapons that can release fire or any other. Lastly, he can even steal the Device of other people."

".........."

Everyone was at a loss for a while since his ability was just ridiculous, especially the ability to steal other people's devices.

Nene let out a sigh, then said, "Then, do you know what kind of ability he has stolen?"

They shook their heads since they had never asked him this question. Sure, if they asked, he might give them the answer, but to ask him such a question when he was about to face Stella tomorrow, they felt it was too unfair.

"It's an absorption." Nene sighed and said, "Stella, do you remember the terrorist that has attacked the department store in the past?" She forgot the name of that terrorist, but she remembered the ability since she knew how tricky it was.

"Yeah. I remember that bastard." Naturally, Stella remembered that guy since that guy's ability was tricky, and that guy also asked her to take off her clothes. If she saw him again, she was going to kill him.

"Tsukasa had stolen the Device of that guy. If you don't know, that guy's ability is absorption. He stole it from that terrorist."

"Absorption?"

"Yes."

Nene nodded and told them how unreasonable the ability of his absorption was. Everything could be absorbed by him, and with his physical ability, nothing went to waste, and he could endure the pressure of absorbing a lot of magic.

"Then, my last attack...?" Touka thought about her last attack, which was erased by Tsukasa.

"That's right." Nene nodded. "He absorbed it, turning it into his own magic, so no matter how huge your magic is, it is useless since he can absorb all of them."

".........."

"Lastly, he can also control the Excessive Awakening of Desperado," Nene said.

"Excessive Awaken?" 4x

Nene explained the Excessive Awakening, and they were at a loss. While they would gain power, they would become a monster that couldn't be controlled.

"Honestly, if you want to win, you can only enter the Excessive Awakening."

"Huh? Do you want me to become one?" Stella was dumbfounded since she didn't expect Nene would ask him to do such a dangerous thing.

"It's just a gamble. If you want to win, then you have to do that. I have become one before, so it should be okay?" Nene said with a laugh, which caused all of them to be speechless.

Did this woman seriously tell Stella to become a demon?!

Kiriko let out a long sigh and said, "Swordsmanship, physical ability, magic, unique abilities, and many others. This guy is simply invincible."

"........."

They were at a loss, and they couldn't see how Stella could win even though she was known as the most talented Blazer in the world.

"Still, while this can't guarantee your victory, do you want to become stronger, Stella?" Kiriko suddenly asked.

"What do you want me to do?" Stella frowned.

"It's okay. It was like what I did to Touka," Kiriko said.

"Touka?"

They were all looking at Touka.

Touka only smiled and nodded. "It's safe, and you can become stronger, but it is quite painful."

"If it's safe, then why not? Do it with me." Stella nodded and didn't fear the pain or hardship of becoming stronger.

"Then, let's do it." Kiriko took out a syringe from her pocket.

Everyone looked at the syringe in her hands with curiosity.

"What is that?"

"Lukifer." Kiriko's smile was slightly maniacal, like Victor Frankenstein's, who created Frankenstein's. "By using this, you'll become stronger."

"..........."

Stella wasn't sure, but she had to say Kiriko's smile was scary.
