You can all become his brides!

The battle between Touka and Moroboshi ended.

Touka didn't stay and hurriedly returned to the place where she previously sat in the audience area.

"Touka-senpai, congratulations!"

As soon as she returned, she was greeted warmly by Renren and everyone.

"It's too early to congratulate me. I have just passed the first round."

Touka's response was modest, and she really thought so since she knew there was a real opponent she had to face soon on the C-block.

"But your opponent is the Star of Naniwa. Even if you defeated him last year, you should smile, right? Or else he is too sad."

"Haha..."

Touka only chuckled and then looked around before she stopped at Kanata.

"Where is Tsukasa? Has he returned?"

"Not yet."

Kanata shook her head and sighed since she was also worried. She tried to call him, but he didn't answer her, which made her even more cornered.

"It's okay. He'll return soon."

Touka might be worried, but there was nothing she could do, and she also believed he would return soon.

Still, Kanata thought for a moment and asked, "Touka, do you think Tsukasa can win?"

As soon as this question came up, everyone fell silent.

Tsukasa's first opponent was Ouma Kurogane, who had become an A-Rank Blazer seven years ago, and he also was able to push Stella, the one with the highest magic in history, head-on.

Tsukasa might push Ouma away by kicking him, but he did it when Ouma lowered his guard.

They had confidence in Tsukasa, but they were still worried.

"Naturally."

Touka smiled and answered confidently. She recalled the scene during her special training session with Tsukasa last night and believed who would win between him and Ouma.

"Tsukasa will win!"

"That's true." Kiriko also agreed.

The two women agreed that he would win, but where was he?

---

The arena was full of chatter and roars.

The spectators and vendors gathered at various intersections to discuss the game enthusiastically, causing the traffic to almost stop.

In front of this noisy crowd, a silver-haired woman appeared silently.

Her appearance was beautiful, like a delicate doll, and her long silver hair was as bright as the full moon. She was so beautiful that one might make a mistake about her as a goddess of the month. Maybe she only wore a casual t-shirt and simple jeans pants, but the aura emitted from her was sacred; her existence was simply inviolable.

She looked at the crowd, and her eyes kept darting around.

She was so beautiful, yet no one put a glance at her, and they didn't seem to notice her.

It was as if she didn't exist in this world.

After a moment, she nimbly passed the crowd and walked into the venue.

Free.

Without paying any money.

In other words, she committed a crime.

Inside the venue.

"Well done, as expected of this old man's lovely disciple!"

In the auditorium where Hagun Academy was located, an almost balding elderly man suddenly jumped out.

"Uwaa! Can you not scare us?"

Renren was so frightened that she almost jumped out.

"Master? When did you come?"

Touka was surprised and happy to see this elderly man.

The old man was wearing a loose kimono and leaned against the cane in his hand. He was like someone in his 80s or 90s, but he was still in high spirits.

"The old man should be coming from the beginning."

Nene pouted.

"Tsukasa should have noticed me first before he left."

Nene pouted, hearing those words, wondering how to beat Tsukasa.

Was a bed the only way for her to defeat him?

"Touka-chan, you did a good job. If you can defeat that boy easily, you must have worked hard this year."

Nangou Torajirou smiled and said sincerely.

"Tsukasa also helped me a lot."

Touka scratched her head in embarrassment.

If Tsukasa wasn't by her side, she knew this fight wouldn't be so easy to solve.

"That little brat has grown up too."

Nangou sighed with a reminisced expression, thinking of Tsukasa's growth. He had met him in the past, and his savagery and cruelty, made him instantly fall for him. He was not in love but wanted to make him his disciple.

Tsukasa was strong, and Nangou wanted to teach him, even knowing he was only D-Rank Blazer.

"However, I can only see him grow..."

Nangou muttered to himself.

A week ago, Tsukasa had fought Edelweiss and lost, but from that battle, he learned many things from her swordsmanship and even injured her.

In other words, his power wasn't even lost to Edelweiss.

A week had passed, and Nangou was quite curious about what level Tsukasa had evolved to.

"Oh, it seems that I am not the only one who is curious about the outcome of this match."

Nangou suddenly let out a surprised murmur. He cast a meaningful gaze in the direction of the venue entrance.

"Um?"

Nene followed Nangou's line of sight, and her whole body trembled.

The figure of the silver-haired woman was imprinted in her eyes.

"That woman...! Why is she here too?!"

Nene suddenly felt uneasy, as if a needle was pierced under her buttocks.

Just looking at that woman, she wanted to beat her, but she also wanted to run away at the same time!

After all, she knew she wasn't this woman's opponent!

"Didn't I say it? She cares about him."

Nangou showed a small, wretched smile.

"It would be great if he could get Edel-chan into his wife."

"Old man, did you come here to provoke me?!"

Nene's eyes twitched, and she shouted.

"Again..."

Touka was startled and also became nervous.

Could it be that in Master's eyes, there were more suitable candidates for Tsukasa's bride?

She looked around quickly but couldn't find a more suitable candidate.

"Don't be nervous. You can all be together. He is definitely going to be happy!"

Nangou laughed happily.

"Die, old man!"

Nene cursed without mercy.

"Ahaha..."

Touka could only laugh helplessly.

Touka glanced at them quietly. She wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words.

On the other hand, the silver-haired woman stood in the front area near the railing.

She stood there, but no one seemed to notice her as she watched with enthusiasm in her voice.

"Let me see how far you can evolve."

The woman waited for the match with a smile on her lips.
