Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

"Now, with the Crimson Princess conquering the entire A-Block, we will start with the B-Block right away. The first match will be the match between Lorelei and..."

Tsukasa didn't even fully watch the match on the B-Block or even the C-Block since he knew well who would be the winner among those blocks. The winner was obvious, and he didn't see a point in watching over them.

However, whether in B-Block or C-Block, his women and the people he knew battled there, so he had to cheer them on.

Yet during those times, he still had time to read a novel.

Stella, who sat on his side, even ate snacks such as takoyaki and others.

Still, Kanata, who also sat by his side, asked him carefully about each of those matches, especially when it was Kiriko Yakushi's turn.

Kiriko's opponent was Panzer Grizzly, Hero of Hokkaido, Renji Kaga.

"Oh, this guy." He closed his book and looked at Kanata awkwardly. "You lost to him last year, right?"

"...Don't remind me of that, alright?" Kanata lightly slapped his shoulder, feeling embarrassed when she saw the opponent that had defeated her last year.

Unlike Touka's, Kanata's result at last year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival wasn't that good since she could only enter the best 16.

And the one who defeated her was Renji Kaga.

"Who is he? Is he strong?" Stella asked curiously.

"Strong." Tsukasa nodded since he felt Renji Kaga was strong.

Even from his appearance, everyone could see how strong Renji was. He was 236 centimeters tall, half as broad, and weighed 370 kilograms.

One could imagine how monstrous he was, right?

As soon as Kaga entered the stage, the battle circle sank for a few centimeters because of his weight.

"What is power?" Stella was speechless by Kaga's body weight.

"Steel skin."

Kaga was able to turn his skin and even his organ into steel, giving him a powerful defense that was almost impossible to penetrate.

This was also the reason why Kanata lost to Kaga since her diamond manipulation was useless in front of Kaga.

After all, no matter how tough the diamond was, it didn't have penetration ability, which was enough to break apart the steel.

On the other hand, Kanata's body was weak, and once she was hit, everything was over.

By then, the result of the battle between Kaga and Kanata was quite obvious, right?

"Then, what do you think of this match?"

"Kiriko will win this match easily."

His words didn't contain hesitation, and it was full of confidence.

Kanata and Stella were surprised, but when they thought about Kiriko's power, they knew who would win.

"Watch her, Stella. She might be your opponent during the semi-final."

"Oh!" Stella thought about Shizuku, who was also on the B-Block, before she shook her head since she could see who was stronger between Kiriko and Shizuku. Still, if her opponent was Shizuku, she didn't think she would lose, but if her opponent was Kiriko... she wasn't sure but she was rather curious about what Kiriko could do.

"Now, let us start the match between Panzer Grizzly, Renji Kaga, and White Robed Knight, Kiriko Yakishi!

Let's go ahead!"

Along with the announcement of the battle, Kaga turned his entire body into metal. His brown-colored skin also turned into grey metal, sinking the battle circle a few centimeters deeper, showing how heavy he was.

"Hmm... I want to dissect your body sometimes." Kiriko could see that Kaga's body was around tens of tons, and even with that, she could see how fast he was.

"Dosukoi!"

Match with his big body, Kaga's way of fighting was similar to a sumo wrestler. He dashed forward and slammed Kiriko with his palm.

With his tens of tons of weight, metal body, and magic, one could imagine how powerful this hand slam was.

Yet...

"Ugh..."

Kaga suddenly couldn't move, and his entire body was immobilized.

"You might be able to turn your bones and organs into metal, but your metallic body isn't perfect."

Kiriko's expression was calm and at ease. She had never thought of Kaga as her opponent at all.

"Well, I won't waste my time, but do you know how it feels when your blood circulates in reverse?"

Kaga stared at Kiriko with widened eyes, trying to move his body, but it was impossible!

"Bye."

Kiriko didn't waste his time, and Kaga passed out on the spot and dropped to the ground, causing the dust to cover the entire battle circle because of how heavy he was.

"Well, this one is easy, but the next one."

Kiriko thought about Stella and sighed, but it was impossible for her to admit defeat so easily.

---

"Strong."

Knowing Kiriko's ability was similar to Shizuku, Stella was quite skeptical, but when she saw Kiriko's control over her ability, she could see how strong Kirko was.

Yet...

"I don't think I will lose."

Stella had her own pride, and it was impossible for her to admit defeat.

Tsukasa didn't say much about this since he knew how strong Stella was. Everything will be decided tomorrow, and there is no need to be in a hurry.

As Kiriko's match was over, it was Shizuku's turn, and as expected, she won.

When the battle ended on the B-Block ended, it was the turn of the C-Block.

On the C-Block, there were Touka and Sara.

Without a doubt, they were the winner of the C-Block.

The result was as clear as day.

Even so, he still cheered on Touka.

As for Sara, he didn't say anything and only stared at her match, while she stared at him after she won.

When their eyes met, he knew what she was thinking, and whether he would become her nude model or not would be determined later.

By then, the battle on the C-Block had ended, and it was time for the battle on the D-Block.

He didn't go but waited at the booth since his battle was the last battle in the second round.

However, Ikki had to leave first since it was his time for the battle.

"Who is Kurogane's opponent?" Stella asked.

"If I am not wrong, Byakuya Jougasaki," Touka, who had returned, answered.

"Is he powerful?" Stella asked again.

"...You don't read any information about the participants in this event?" Tsukasa was speechless.

"Hehe..."

However, Stella only laughed embarrassingly since she didn't have an interest in any of them except for Tsukasa. She also thought that in a real battle, it was impossible for one to read any information about their opponents, so she had never done so.

He knew that Stella was an extremist, but it made him helpless that she kept asking him the same question from time to time.

"Well, if Ikki isn't careful, he might be defeated."

"What do you mean?!" The one who reacted strongly was Shizuku.

"Calm down. I have said that if Ikki isn't careful, right? Still, Ikki has always given me a surprise, so I am sure that it will be the same now."

He didn't even do anything to help Ikki, yet why did he feel Ikki had become stronger?

While he was curious, he wondered whether this guy had a protagonist halo.
