The dia wasn’t so simple.
While the Ethics Committee might be able to force so newspapers, radio, and television to help them to announce the slander news about Ikki, it was impossible to control all the dia, especially the overseas.
The Ethics Committee might be able to affect the regional dia, but it was impossible for them to stretch their hands over everything.
Tsukasa didn’t do much and only spread rumors about the overbearing Ethics Committee that thought it had the authority to cancel one’s qualification to beco a mage-knight. This rumor also worried many people since if it could happen to Ikki, it could also happen to them.
After all, as long as they were a Blazer, who wanted their qualifications to be taken, right?
Still, Tsukasa realized one truth in this world: as long as you were powerful, no one would be able to give you trouble. Instead, they would treat you like the most majestic being.
Ikki could get into this trouble because he was known as the weakest knight in the Hagun Academy, if not the entire of Japan. His strength was definitely stronger than most people, but whether it was his magic or his ability, nothing could be proud of.
However, if Ikki was strong, it would be different. It was also the reason why he had to enter the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival and beco a champion, so he could show everyone that even though he was known as the weakest, he could beco the strongest.
Tsukasa had known Ikki, and he must admit he was moved by his determination, which was also why he had to beco stronger.
*Knock!* *Knock!*
“Touka-nee, Kanata-nee, are you there?”
After knocking on the student council room, Tsukasa entered, which surprised Kanata and Touka.
“Tsukasa? What’s wrong?” Touka asked curiously since it was so rare of him to enter the student council. After all, they could et at their house and have fun there, so instead of coming to the student council room, he usually waited for them to return.
“How is Renren?” Tsukasa was quite curious about what had happened to Renren since, after that incident, he hadn’t seen her.
“She is still traumatized over what has happened before. If she can’t recover from this, she probably might quit becoming a mage-knight.” Touka’s face was full of worry when she thought about her junior. The damage to Renren’s body might have been healed, but the damage to her heart still remained.
Renren was still under pressure and scared. She hadn’t been able to get out of the hospital room since she was afraid similar things would happen to her.
Touka hoped Renren would be able to quickly recover since she knew Renren was a strong Blazer.
If Renren gave up because of this, it would be a sha.
Tsukasa felt slightly guilty since he could save Renren quickly before, considering he had noticed her being controlled. It might seem strange how he could notice Renren being controlled instantly. However, his sense of sll made her see the color of the scent, which spread everywhere. He could sll sothing different from Renren previously, and even if she wasn’t controlled, she was in an abnormal situation.
However, even if Tsukasa knew that he didn’t do anything. He patiently observed her until the enemy showed all of his cards, understanding the capabilities, so when this enemy ca in the future, he could handle it easily. Because of this, he also knew what kind of power was shown by the enemy. Still, his actions caused trauma to the young girl’s mind.
‘…….’
Tsukasa was in silence for a while, listening to Touka’s story about Renren’s situation, but frankly, he didn’t feel guilty. He might have realized it, but he was a cold person. While he didn’t feel guilty, he slightly regretted his action since he knew there was a better thod at that ti.
Tsukasa also realized there was no need for him to observe his opponents, considering how powerful he had beco.
However, a habit was hard to break.
Tsukasa used to observe his enemy until he was sure 120% that he was able to defeat the enemies before he started to move. However, he had beco strong, and there was no need for him to observe his enemy since he could defeat them instantly.
After hearing about Renren’s situation, Tsukasa raised another topic. “Touka-nee, there’s sothing else that I want to talk about.”
“What’s wrong?” Touka asked curiously.
“You should have heard about what has happened to Ikki, right?”
“You an, Kurogane-kun?” Touka asked after a mont of thought.
“Yes.” Tsukasa nodded, then looked at Kanata. “Kanata-nee, if the Ethics Committee asks you to set up Ikki’s match, can you tell ?”
“Sure.” Kanata nodded, but she was also confused. “So, what’s wrong?”
“It’s just my guess, but they’ll probably ask Touka-nee for Ikki’s opponent,” Tsukasa said with a frown.
The two also had an ugly expression when they heard it.
The duel between knights had always been sacred, but the influence of the adult destroyed everything.
The Ethics Committee would probably. No, surely they would call Kanata to set up a match between Ikki and Touka.
Kanata was on the committee of this selection for the participants of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, and she could set up the match based on the request. It was like what she was doing in his match, changing his opponent when he was away, so they could give him a default win.
However, this and that were different.
Ikki’s situation was forced, and he had to fight an impossible match where there was no way for him to win.
However, Tsukasa thought otherwise since he knew well how strong Ikki was. He also felt there was so sort of strange force which would make Touka lower her guard, underestimating Ikki, and make Ikki beco stronger. He also didn’t want Touka to get dejected because of this match since the weight she shouldered was different from him.
If Tsukasa had always fought for himself, Touka had always felt that she fought for the orphans in the Wakaba House (orphan house). She, who didn’t have a family, wanted to show everyone that there was still hope in this life and showed that hard work could pay off.
Knowing all of that, how could he let her enter this shitty match?
Listening to his words, the expression of Kanata and Touka turned ugly. After all, who wanted to have a match in such a situation?
“So let be his opponent,” Tsukasa said.
“Huh?” 2x
The two were dumbfounded.
“Are you sure, Tsukasa?” Kanata asked worriedly.
Touka also wanted to ask the sa, but Kanata had asked, so she could only show her concern on her face.
“What? Are you worried that I’ll lose?” Tsukasa asked with a smile.
“……..”
The two were in silence since the thought of him losing had never crossed their minds. Ikki might be strong. They had seen how Ikki had beco stronger by using his Noble Art and even stole the very essence of one’s fighting ability. However, neither of them thought Ikki was stronger than Tsukasa since Tsukasa’s image was strongest and had been imprinted in their minds since childhood.
However, they were worried about whether Tsukasa was okay to enter this type of tasteless match. The match was held to show that Ikki was weak and forced Ikki to beco the bad guy in public. The feeling of participating in this match was worse than shit.
“It’s okay. I have a plan. Just leave the rest to .” Tsukasa reassured the two of them that everything was under his control.
Kanata and Touka couldn’t say much and only nodded since it was usually impossible to change his decision after he had made it. But they also believed in him, so they knew everything would be alright, right?
