Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

They weren’t sure what was happening, but they sighed in relief when they saw Tsukasa had stopped Arisuin’s bleeding.

“You should say so. You made me jump to a conclusion.”

“Um…” What could Arisuin say? He could only obediently agree to what Tsukasa said since he was wrong and didn’t want to be cut again.

“Alice, what happened?” Shizuku was the most affected since the relationship between her and Arisuin was so close. They stayed in the same dorm, and it wouldn’t be weird to call them a sister from a different parent.

Their relationship was so close, but Shizuku didn’t scold Tsukasa since he didn’t kill Arisuin, and from what she could tell, something had happened. Still…

“Tsukasa, can you connect Alice’s arm?”

“Don’t forget to pay me later.”

“…” Arisuin wanted to scold someone. Not only did Tsukasa cut his arm, but he also asked for his money, which made him speechless, yet he shut his mouth, especially when he saw his magic thread.

His operation had always been well-known for being the most beautiful operation.

The blue thread of magic gleamed inside the room, connecting skin, bones, muscles, nerves, and everything on Arisuin’s arm.

Everyone looked at this scene in awe.

Even Arisuin, who was speechless before, also looked at this process with a gleam in his eyes.

Not many people were able to see his operation, and frankly, his operation was quite troublesome.

After all, reconnecting a limb or two was an easy thing to do with the current medical technology. Using a water manipulation ability was also easier since they could connect a cut limb instantly. On the other hand, his process needed to be partially focused and detailed, which made it quite troublesome.

“Done.” Still, Tsukasa was satisfied, looking at his work. “Tell me how it is?”

Arisuin moved his arm without hesitation and didn’t feel strange. It was as if his hand was never cut, to begin with. “Wow, it feels amazing!”

“Right?”

“Cough!” Suddenly, Touka coughed and asked, “So can you tell us what’s happening?”

Still, when this question came out, the tension that had disappeared somehow returned. They didn’t doubt Tsukasa’s action. Instead, all of them doubted Arisuin since they knew he wouldn’t do something unless there was a reason.

Then, suddenly a thought came into their minds.

They saw Aruisuin in Kagami’s room, but while the relationship between them was quite close, it didn’t mean he would be able to enter her room so casually.

“Alice, are you normal?”

“No, I still like a guy.” Arisuin frowned since he didn’t expect them to mistake her for normal.

“…….” Tsukasa stared at Arisuin and wondered whether this was something worth being angry about.

Still, Arisuin had given up, so he didn’t have any reason to hide anything and told them everything. “I was sent to become a spy at the Hagun Academy.”

“Send? By whom?” Stella frowned.

“Akatsuki Academy.”

“Akatsuki Academy?”

It was their first time hearing of such a school since they were sure there weren’t any schools named Akatsuki Academy among the seven mage-knight schools.

Watching their reaction, Arisuin told them from an A to Z. He told them how the Akatsuki Academy decided to attack the Hagun Academy so they could gain attention in the world. As for the purpose?

Arisuin wasn’t sure, nor did he care about it since he was just tasked to do so, and he had never questioned it. He was an assassin, and he was taught like that from his childhood.

Before, he was just a normal orphan, but after that day, everything changed, and he had to embark on the path with no return. He had to become an assassin, following the very words of his teacher, without daring to talk back since he didn’t want to be killed.

Everyone was silent, and their expressions were solemn since no one would expect someone would weave a big conspiracy on their academy.

Still, after saying all of this, his chest felt lighter.

Initially, Arisuin initially thought of finishing his job as usual, but everything changed after he stayed in this academy. He didn’t want to do this job anymore since the existence of Shizuku changed everything. She was like his little sister, and they were like a pair of sisters. Even though her love for her older brother might disgust many people, he supported her and felt it was beautiful. The thought of hurting her crushed her, and this was the reason why he wanted to give up this job.

Arisuin thought to tell everyone about this matter when they were about to go back, but who would have thought his action was already found out by Tsukasa from the beginning?

Still, Arisuin must admit that this was what made him fascinating. His face was also his type, of course.

“……” Tsukasa shook his head and asked, “Do you know the other members’ abilities?” While he had identified the members of the Akatsuki Academy after Kagami gave the list of the suspicious representatives among the seven mage-knight schools, he didn’t know anything about those people since their information was simply “zero.”

Nothing.

The only one that he knew was Ouma Kurogane.

Still, hearing the name of Ouma, while Ikki frowned, Shizuku simply ignored him.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything. I was just told to enter this school, and when it was time, I had to help them. Besides that, I don’t know anything.” Frankly, the information Arisuin knew about the Akatsuki Academy was simply null, nothing. He didn’t even know the details of the organization, and he only knew one person.

That was his teacher.

After what had happened in the past, Arisuin had killed his identity and heart after he became an assassin.

There was no information about the Akatsuki Academy, and even more strange was the fact Nene and Kurono couldn’t answer their calls.

“What’s happening?” Touka frowned.

Tsukasa suddenly thought about the phenomenon which happened previously, but he shook his head since he didn’t know much about this person’s ability, so it wasn’t good to jump to a conclusion.

Still, after all the information they got from Arisuin, they had two choices in front of them. They could run away or fight them.

“Run away, or fight?”

If they ran away, they would be smeared by the Akatsuki Academy that they had lost, and how could they let their academy be attacked?

“……”

Tsukasa sighed helplessly, only realizing that everyone in this place was a shonen manga character. However, he also knew that they were worried about their school since if they escaped, what would happen to everyone who stayed in the school?

Even though it was break time, and most of the students had gone back, there was still a minority of students who stayed.

How could they leave them?

Especially Touka, who was the student council president.

They had made up their decision, but there was one problem.

“What should we do with him?” Tsukasa asked while pointing at Arisuin.

Everyone looked at each other before Shizuku raised her hand. “Can you let me handle this, Tsukasa?”

“Please.” Tsukasa gave space to Shizuku and Arisuin before he left with everyone.

“…Is it alright just to leave it like this?” Kagami asked while moving her nose around, showing her indignant.

“Just force him to become your slave later. His ability can help you with the journalist activity, right?”

“……..”

Kagami stared at Tsukasa and realized she might be too young.

Still…

‘Akatsuki Academy, huh?’

It was just his feeling, but he felt this wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
