Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Neither of them held back!

They used all of their might in this confrontation!

Edelweiss’s figure vanished as if she had become one with light.

While she was fast before, this time, her speed was on another level. It was as if she tried to mock him that she could go even further.

Yet Tsukasa could tell that this speed brought a tremendous strain on her body.

‘This…’

Even though it was quite faint, he could tell that Edelweiss could use a similar technique used by Ikki or him. However, he wasn’t surprised since this technique was quite common. He had heard of a similar technique in China, so it wouldn’t be weird if she could develop something similar.

Her physical ability became ten times stronger, and it was normal for her speed to become even faster.

However, Edelweiss perfected her technique even further, focussing all that power on two blades in her hands!

In the beginning, Edelweiss had a feeling that he was the only one. He was the only person who could match her swordsmanship, which was why she was going to go all out!

At this very moment, her skill had surpassed everything; time, space, existence, essence.

There was only one answer on her sword: to cut down her opponent!

Whether it was Nene or Kurono, they felt their hearts stop for a moment. They felt the world had lost its color, and everything was cut down by Edelweiss. Their entire body was tense, and they knew they had to save Tsukasa, yet their bodies couldn’t move from the intense fear from her blades!

‘Move! Move! Move!’

They screamed inside, yet a certain force around them forced them to stay still and just watch this match.

On the other hand, Tsukasa’s eyes changed. His eyes gleamed in black, and his blade swallowed everything like an abyss. Even if Edelweiss started her move, he wasn’t in a hurry. He waited for her to enter the range of his blade, and when she entered, he began to move!

Tsukasa swung his blade horizontally.

Edelweiss saw the trajectory of his blade and thought to use her blade to block it, then used another to cut him down.

However…

Her pupils enlarged since she saw something unthinkable. Something that shouldn’t have happened and impossible to happen, yet it happened in front of her. However, after a solemn expression, she was full of excitement since she didn’t expect one would be able to develop such swordsmanship!

When one thought that Tsukasa would slash horizontally, two other blades appeared in the opposite direction and from up to down vertically.

This was a technique where three concurrent arching blades closed on the enemy from all sides to create a prison, allowing no chance for defense or evasion. This wasn’t a technique where he simply did successive slashes that were done “quickly.” Instead, it was swordsmanship that was bending the laws of physics that multiplied its existence.

It started with a flash from this world, followed by two absolutely simultaneous, over-lapping flashes that disregarded the concept of time and space, producing a slash attack that arrived from three different directions by momentarily using his ability to teleport to another world to transcend speed, dexterity, feints, and many other elements.

This was a technique that one was impossible to escape from!

Tsukasa was like intense darkness, an abyss that swallows everything.

On the other hand, Edelweiss was like a bright light that illuminated everything.

The darkness and the light clashed, trying to swallow each other, showing who was the better among them.

As for Nene and Kurono, neither of them said anything, and they just stood still in a daze since this conformation wasn’t on the level that they could understand. They felt their brains were overloaded with information. Yet they knew this might be a duel between the two greatest swordsmen.

‘No, I can’t escape!’

Yet, unlike what they imagined, the darkness was stronger, and it started to swallow the light.

Edelweiss couldn’t escape, and her defeat was the only result of this duel.

‘No!’

Edelweiss didn’t want to lose!

At that very moment, she searched for one answer to turn this duel into a victory. Tens of thousands and hundreds of millions of “possibilities” existed in her mind. They are all verified, crushed, and stopped as if without meaning.

If Tsukasa was the sword of “Infinity,” this was her way of a sword!

The sword of “Finite!”

A sword that strives to reach only a single correct answer!

To shave one’s existence away to the extremes until there is nothing left, and yet to cut everything until only “something” still remains.

A sword that establishes a “conclusion” to bring her to victory!

The infinite and the finite clashed, making them reach the place that true masters of the sword can reach.

It is not a world.

It is neither the proper history nor culled history.

It is beyond even the rift between reality and dreams.

It is an impossible domain where zero and infinity clash endlessly.

A place where even gods are impossible to enter and even cut down by them.

Yet even in such a place, Tsukasa and Edelweiss were full of smiles, childlike since, at that moment, they were bonded by a stronger connection that could only be understood by each other.

This emotion had no name, yet it was something precious.

However, they knew nothing would last forever, and they had to end this.

Whether it was the color or the space, everything returned to how it used to be.

‘Who is the winner?!’ 2x

This was a question for Nene and Kurono, but Edelweiss fell to the ground while clutching her chest. “Why?”

On the other hand, Tsukasa still stood up and said, “I don’t want to leave a scar on you, after all.” After saying that, blood burst out from his chest before he fell to the ground.

“Tsukasa!” 2x

Nene and Kurono quickly ran in his direction to save him.

Edelweiss looked at Tsukasa before looking at the women, hesitating.

“What? You have won, right? Or do you want another fight?” Nene showed her fangs and read them to kill Edelweiss anytime.

Kurono didn’t say much but only stared at Edelweiss.

“Let me teach you that you shouldn’t mess with someone’s lover!” Nene roared.

Edelweiss was stunned and felt the pain that she had never felt before. Her entire body was tense, as if she was trapped in a small space. She was silent before she asked, “He’s your boyfriend?”

“That’s right!” Nene nodded proudly. “We’re going to marry when he has graduated!”

“……” Kurono.

“…I see.” Edelweiss nodded, then turned. “Tell him that he’s the winner. I’ll go now.” She jumped and left directly.

Nene wasn’t sure why, but she felt she had won at that moment. However, she noticed Kurono, who was still stunned, then said, “What are you doing? Why don’t you stop the wound on his body?”

Kurono had the ability to control the time, so she should be able to stop the time around Tsukasa’s wound.

“Oh-oh.” Kurono nodded and used her ability before looking at Tsukasa in silence. Somehow a desire that shouldn’t be born in her heart was born at this moment.
