Chapter 391: Inevitable crisis
Shizuku had always thought that her opponent was just a mascot-like character, but who would have thought her opponents would be so powerful?
Rinna’s lion wasn’t just a mere pet. It could also use an ability like a Blazer.
If the ability of the lion was just a simple attack or charge, Shizuku wouldn’t be troubled. However, its ability was to immobilize her. She was caught in this ability, and she couldn’t move. Her expression was quite bitter at this moment since she felt compared to everyone she hadn’t grown up with. The only skill that she learned was only a medical skill. Even though it was a good skill since it could help her brother, she could do nothing in this situation.
“Vanish!”
“My lady says, “You have lost.”
“ROOOARRR!”
The giant lion charged toward Shizuku before she was thrown away.
Shizuku was hurt, and his entire body was hurt. After all, unlike Stella, she wasn’t good at physical ability, and she was almost defeated. However, she could still move and counterattack. She was ready for her revenge, yet she didn’t have a chance to do so.
Tsukasa appeared in front of her and cut down Rinna, Charlotte, and the giant lion in a single swing.
“……” Rinna, Charlotte, and the giant lion.
Shizuku stared at Tsukasa in a daze.
“Just sit there. It’s going to end soon,” Tsukasa said and moved into the next enemy.
Shizuku opened her mouth before she closed it again. She had realized it before, but she knew she was too weak, and she couldn’t give much help in this situation. She was also hurt, so if she joined, she would be only a burden. She knew all of that, but she was frustrated!
‘I’m weak!’
Tsukasa wasn’t sure what Shizuku was thinking, and even if he knew this wasn’t a time to think about this matter since he was lost for words when he saw Ikki’s state. “Ikki, are you alright?”
“Sorry.” Ikki’s body was battered, and there were many wounds on his body. Similar to Shizuku, his body was in a serious situation since he just couldn’t think of a way to defeat his opponent.
Tsukasa looked at Ikki’s body and knew that all the wounds on his body weren’t caused by Amane. Instead, all of them were caused by a series of accidents.
Something unthinkable happened to Ikki from time to time, such as tripped, slipping, cramped, and even being hit by the impact of the fight between Stella and Ouma.
Unlike the original, the fight between Stella and Ouma couldn’t be settled instantly.
Under Tsukasa’s training, Stella had become stronger, but it seemed there was a certain force that forced her to do so.
Tsukasa knew where everything was caused by this boy.
“Ah, Kugayama-kun! Finally, I have a chance to meet you! You know what? I am your fan! I also happen to know your story from childhood to now!” Amane said excitedly as if he were really Tsukasa’s fans.
However, Tsukasa frowned since even the media didn’t know his past. His past was well-guarded since he didn’t want someone he cared about to be involved in his problems, whether it was his stay at the orphanage, his life in the jungle, the hospital, or many others hidden.
In other words, no one would be able to know it.
Except for him, there wouldn’t be anyone who would know his past.
Yet Amane Shinomiya knew.
Tsukasa somehow thought something inside his head, but he didn’t dare to make a conjecture since if that was the case, the power of this boy was really frightening.
‘However…’
Tsukasa ignored the boy and was about to use his instant movement technique to appear in front of Amane Shinomiya. He had an intention to test whether his conjecture was right or not by trying to attack Amane.
However, as expected, Tsukasa failed. Suddenly, gravel caused him to lose his balance, and he almost tripped. Fortunately, he was able to maintain his balance and stood still. He frowned, then changed the shape of his blade into AK 47.
“…….” Ikki.
Tsukasa didn’t say much nonsense, increasing the “efficiency” of his weapon, then shot Amane!
*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*
The sound of the gunshot echoed through the battlefield, aimed precisely right into Amane.
If Amane was hit, his body would be riddled with holes like beehives. It wouldn’t be weird if, from his body, Tsukasa could see the background scenery.
Yet…
The gravel, the wind, the flames, and all kinds of strange things happened because all the bullets shot by Tsukasa were either blocked, missed, or directed in a different direction.
When Tsukasa knew it was useless, he stopped.
However, Amane had a frightened expression on his face. “Wow, I am so scared!” He patted his chest several times and complained. “Kugayama-kun, is that how you treat your fans? You’re so cruel!”
“Fan?” Tsukasa looked at Amane with a blank expression and said, “How about you show your real expression instead of this creepy smile.”
“Hahaha…” Amane laughed and said, “What are you talking about? This is my real expression. I’m so happy to meet you!” His face was full of smiles, showing how happy he was to meet Tsukasa.
Whether it was Tsukasa or Ikki, they could feel how creepy this smile was. They could feel no matter how cheerful Amane seemed. It seemed his smile was empty.
“Tsukasa.” Ikki had a solemn expression on his face since he realized what kind of opponent he had faced.
Amane was like a swirl of darkness. Everything that came to him would be useless, and they would be swallowed by darkness.
This was the feeling that Ikki got from Amane.
“I see…” Tsukasa nodded and said, “I know your ability.”
“Oh-ho? Really? Then, can you tell me?” Amane asked excitedly.
“It’s wish-fulfillment, right?” Tsukasa asked.
“Wish-Wish fulfillment?!” Ikki was dumbfounded.
“Oh?” Amane lost his smile, staring at Tsukasa coldly.
“This should be how you should look at me, right?” Tsukasa said with a smile since he must admit he really hated Amane’s smile. This feeling, he wasn’t sure where it came from, but it was too creepy. He just had this feeling that this boy wanted him to be in despair somehow, which made his killing intent rise.
“Can you tell me how you guessed it?” Amane asked. His ability was too buggy. It could be said his ability was the strongest among the causation manipulation abilities.
However, Tsukasa quickly suppressed this feeling. He looked at Amane with a cheeky smile and said, “Frankly, I don’t know your ability, but your words confirmed everything.”
“……..” Amane.
“Initially, I thought your ability was to see the future, great luck, or bring misfortune to anyone who attacked you, but I felt a terrible feeling from your ability. Unfortunately, my guess was right…” Tsukasa sighed at Amane’s ability since this guy’s ability was too amazing, right?
Wish fulfillment.
As long as Amane wished, he could get anything.
Money? Women? Authority? Love? And many others!
As long as Amane wished, he could get anything!
If Amane wanted someone to die, it could be done easily, and that person he wished to die might die from an accident or a heart attack.
Somehow this ability wasn’t much different from a Black Note.
*Clap!* *Clap!* *Clap!*
Amane clapped his hands happily. “As expected, you’re so amazing, Kugayama-kun!” He then showed a creepy smile and asked, “Then can you guess what kind of wish I made before this attack?”
“……”
Whether it was Ikki or Tsukasa, they were silent since they knew what kind of terrible wish Amane had wished for.
As expected, when everything was smooth, suddenly a crisis appeared, causing the upper hand of the battle to turn toward the Akatsuki Academy.
