Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

"Now, it is the fight that we have been fighting for! Due to certain troubles, she was late, but now, she is coming! We will see her fight! Blazers with the strongest magic in entire history! Please come in, Hagun Academy, Crimson Princess, Stella Vermilion!"

Along with the voice of the host, the excitement spread in all directions from the venue to all the people watching this, including those who watching on tv, computer, or many other things.

Stella also didn't make everyone wait and walk toward the battle circle, ready to fight.

"Then, her opponent, the Kyomon Academy, the Icy Sneer, Mikoto Tsuruya. Please come on."

A young lady with ash-blonde hair leaped toward the battle circle.

"Now, I wonder what kind of battle we're going to see. What do you think, Yuuzou-san?"

"The Crimson Princess is a Blazer known for the highest amount of magic in history. I have seen all of her fights, and I can understand that."

Unlike most Blazers, who could only use their ability from time to time.

Stella didn't need to worry about that. She set her ability ablazed without worry, overpowering everyone with pure strength.

"During the previous fight with the Akatsuki Academy, she also showed that her strength should be similar to the Sword Emperor of Wind more or less. We have seen just how strong the Sword Emperor of Wind was previously, so we should also expect something similar or more from the Crimson Princess!"

When those words came out, everyone became excited and couldn't help but discuss this matter in a loud voice.

The fight between Tsukasa and Ouma was still vivid in their minds.

While Ouma lost, he definitely wasn't weak. Instead, he was strong!

He was stronger than any of them and even more than most Blazers in this world.

While many had seen how powerful Stella was, she hadn't fully shown all of her power, and along with the result of her training, she should be even stronger.

However, they expected Stella to be as strong as Ouma.

Still, this made Stella dissatisfied since what she cared about wasn't Ouma but Tsukasa. Still, she also understood why they didn't compare her with Tsukasa.

During his fight, she had been watching how strong he was from the passage, watching him closely since she wanted to duel with him at this Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. Yet she knew her chances were rather slim, and if she wanted to win against him, she had to become even stronger.

Suddenly, she thought it might be better for her to abstain from sexual pleasure at night with him.

No, she should do it a few hours before she decides to practice again.

"Sorry, can I say something?"

When everyone excitedly discussed Stella's power, Mikoto interrupted their discussion and raised her hand, showing a displeased expression. Yet how could she not be displeased?

Everyone had been talking about Stella from the beginning to the end. What about her?

While she didn't think she would win since she knew how strong Stella was, it vexed her how they treated her like air.

"Ah, yes, please!"

The host quickly said and wiped his sweat since Mikoto's state was so scary!

"It's troubling that you have decided everything on your own while disregarding my opinion."

"Oh, no, no, of course, your opinion is necessary, but is there something you're dissatisfied with about this match?"

"I have no objections about the conduct of the match itself, per se. However, I cannot accept that no penalty will be imposed on those who were late," Mikoto said, pointing at Stella from across the ring. "I'm here to request that an official penalty be imposed on Representative Stella."

She knew she couldn't defeat Stella upfront, but what if she used this trick?

Well, part of it.

However, she was also annoyed when she saw Stella was held by Tsukasa before.

While no one seemed to talk about it, many were discussing this matter secretly.

However, his fans decided to close their eyes and didn't believe it including her.

How could she be so close to Tsukasa?!

Makoto was jealous and wanted to teach Stella a bit.

Tsukasa watched this in silence and didn't talk since if Stella couldn't handle this, then his fight with her would be something that he wouldn't be looking forward to.

Still, Mikoto's complaint wasn't accepted since Stella was late because she was attacked by the One-Armed Swordsman.

Tsukasa had reported this matter, so everything was cleared up.

When everyone heard how Stella was attacked, many people couldn't help but feel nervous since this matter couldn't be handled, and Tsukasa didn't help Stella. Then this might turn into an ugly international problem.

Naturally, the committee didn't announce this matter, but they secretly told Mikoto about it, and her request was impossible to be accepted.

Mikoto was also dumbfounded by this fact, and even if she hated it, she was also helpless since she didn't expect Stella would be attacked by a famous assassin.

"No, it's okay. I accept the penalty."

However, no one would expect Stella would say such a thing.

"...." Tsukasa was speechless, but he smiled and thought everything had become interesting. The fight between Stella and Mikoto, even if he closed his eyes, he knew who would win, so he was quite interested in how Stella was about to bring this match up.

"Icy Sneer's suggestion is perfectly reasonable. If I had arrived a day before the tournament, like everyone else, I would not have been involved in the incident. Since it was my misjudgment, I think it is necessary to impose some punishment."

"Well, this...is quite surprising. To think that you would say such a thing.."

"Even if Mikoto-san had not brought it up, I would still have planned to request a penalty. The Vermilion Royal Family prizes honesty and fairness. I have never considered escaping the punishment due to the sin of arriving late."

"Hmm, I see."

"As such, I have a suggestion regarding the next match."

"A suggestion?"

"Yes. If we were to hold the match according to the existing rules, it would be unfair to Mikoto-san, who arrived on time. As such, I would like for a special rule to be in force as a handicap on myself during our match. In concrete terms, I would like all the remaining members of Block A, starting with Mikoto-san, to engage in a four-on-one match with me."

"Wh, what did you say?!"

While everyone thought she was joking, Stella was serious, and her opponents didn't let go of this chance.

Tsukasa was silent.

'It's four against one.'

If it was someone else, he might have stopped them, but it was different for Stella. It seemed that she also could read his mind and knew if she didn't push herself further, it would be impossible for her to make him go all out.

Then, the battle was decided.

Stella would fight against Mikoto and four members of the Akatsuki Academy.

No one could stop it anymore, and this battle had already been decided!
