Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

"L-Lost...? Uncrowned Sword King lost?! So fast!"

The host, Yuuzou, and everyone were dumbfounded.

The intensity unleashed by Ikki before shook their hearts, and they even thought that there was a certain possibility that this match might not come how they predicted. Many, who bet most of their money on Ikki because they might be lucky, also let out a regretful sigh.

Yet Tsukasa ruthlessly destroyed and crushed their dream, showing that the result turned into how everyone imagined.

In the end, he was invincible.

The Uncrowned Sword King couldn't even become a proper obstacle for him.

Kurono looked at Ikki for a while, but she didn't do anything. This might be her instinct, but she still remembered Ikki as the first boy who challenged her and won. While that memory was rewritten by Tukasa, she still remembered Ikki from time to time.

"However, it is still too early to determine the winner," Yuuzou said.

"That's true. Now, the Uncrowned Sword King is outside the battle circle, so if he doesn't enter the battle circle before that time, he will lose."

As the host fell, the countdown started to be counted.

It started from number ten to number one steadily, surely.

On the other hand, Tsukasa stood there, without lowering his sword, watching Ikki, that still lay around the ruins. It was just his instinct, but he knew Ikki wouldn't go down so easily. Even so, he didn't think he would lose.

Ikki's specialty was his speed.

By increasing his physical ability to even 200 times of his original, he could reach an unimaginable speed that could slay anyone with a single slash of his blade.

However, his speed was even faster than that, and by using his magic, he could increase his physical ability to ten times!

While he didn't want to look down on Ikki, Ikki's chances of winning against him were low, and it was even almost zero.

His words might seem arrogant, but his magic was one thing, his base physical ability was stronger than Ikki's, and he didn't even use his breathing technique and his Desperado power.

If he used all of that, it would be easy for him to erase an island or two from the map.

Yet, he believed that Ikki wouldn't give up.

Ikki would stand up and fight him again.

So this time, he was waiting, waiting for Ikki to wake up.

As expected, his consciousness was hazy. Ikki hadn't lost consciousness. He was still able to stand up, but could he fight?

His body was already battered and was already at the limit.

He was using his ultimate technique, "Ittou Shura," to compress all of the power inside him into a single second, yet even so, it was useless.

His power, swordsmanship, magic, ability, and everything were easily beaten by him.

He, who was without talent, was already defeated by him, unable to fight back. Even if he stood up now, what could he do?

With his battered body and without any magic on his body, what could he do?

Slowly, his consciousness was pulled into deep darkness. He felt that there was no point in fighting anymore since the result was obvious, but a voice suddenly pulled him from the darkness.

"ONII-SAMA! STAND UP! DON'T LOSE! ONIIIII-SAMAAAAAA!!!"

'Shizuku?'

He was familiar with this voice.

This was the voice of his little sister and the woman that he loved.

---

While Shizuku had expected this, how could she give up?

She kept screaming for her older brother.

Even though her throat was hurting, she lost her voice or even was bleeding. She didn't care.

At this moment, place, and time, she was his only ally. Even if everyone, the world, and fate thought it was impossible, she would keep on her older brother!

The man that she loved!

"ONII-SAMAAAAA! DO YOUR BEST! DON'T LOSE!"

At this venue, everyone was silent.

Only Shizuku's voice was heard.

No one could think that Ikki could win, but the spirit of Shizuku that wished for her older brother to win was something that everyone impossible to hate and moved them.

Yet this was enough for Ikki.

When Ikki heard the cheer of Shizuku's voice, he started to think whether this was okay. He wanted their relationship to be approved by everyone. He didn't want to hide it, so that's why he had to become stronger!

So strong that no one would say anything!

Yet in front of him, there was a large mountain known as Tsukasa.

'I want to win! I want to win! I want to win!'

His thoughts were screaming, his body was rioting, and his soul was struggling.

He wanted to become even stronger and win against Tsukasa!

Yet the stronger he struggled, the harder it was for him to move.

"ARGGGGG!!!"

He roared, feeling furious, and suddenly he saw many black chains wrapped around his body. He realized that this was what made him unable to break through and stay at his limit.

Unlike Tsukasa, who could become stronger and stronger, he was weak. He was so weak that he didn't think that Tsukasa would steal his Device since it was simply useless. However, this was also why he was going to show him that even if he was known as the weakest, it was impossible to give up this battle!

It was only for a moment, but he felt the world stop.

The black chains around his body, while he wasn't sure what it was, he knew that it was dangerous. Once he ripped them apart, he might become a demon.

Yet did he care?

As long as he was able to win, then he would even become a demon!

"ARRRRGGGGGGGG!!!"

As he roared, he ripped the black chains around his body, and he stood up from his slumber. His body was full of blood and wounds, but even so, he felt his body was full of energy. He wasn't sure what was happening, but he was going to win!

"TSUKASA! I AM NOT GONNA GIVE UP! I AM GOING TO WIN!"

His body was set ablaze by blue fire like magic.

When this happened, Nangou, Edelweiss, Nene, Touka, Stella, Kurono, and a few people who understood what was happening were in silence.

Tsukasa was also the same since even he couldn't imagine that Ikki had become a Desperado.
