When the news about the mock battle between Tsukasa and Stella was announced on the entire academy, everyone felt that their blood was boiling.

While there were some students who hadn’t come back to the academy since the academy was still in the spring break, almost half of them had arrived, whether they were new students, or the students in the 2nd or 3rd grades, they didn’t want to miss this match and came together to see two famous new students.

Whether Stella Vermillion or Kugayama Tsukasa had become a famous figure in the academy now even though they were just freshmen.

Stella Vermillion was, without a doubt, famous since she was a princess from the Vermillion Kingdom, and she was also one that was born with the strongest magic in the world and history.

In a world where magic determined everything, the existence of Stella was something that caused the whole world to tremble.

Everyone thought that Stella was born a winner, but no one knew what kind of hard work she needed to face to become a strong Blazer. Her country was just a small country without a strong Blazer. The strongest Blazer in her country was just the C-rank Blazer, and she was the only A-rank Blazer that was ever born in her country.

Stella knew how important the existence of a strong Blazer for a country was, especially when one powerful Blazer was enough to erase one city so easily. She needed to become strong no matter what, so that’s why she was going to win.

It definitely had nothing to do with the fact that she was excited to have Tsukasa as her servant or anything like that, alright?

Definitely!

Watching her reflection through the mirror inside the locker room, Stella took a deep breath and prepared for the first battle that she had in this country. She didn’t know what kind of ability Tsukasa had, but no matter what, she was going to win!

Walking out of the locker room, Stella could see many people were looking at her from afar and along the path. She could hear their conversation, which wasn’t pleasant to her ears.

“Look, it’s the Crimson Princess!”

“A princess and a genius, huh?”

“It must be nice to have an easy life.”

Stella ignored the noises from the background characters as she charged forward with the intention of winning no matter what!

While Stella was naturally famous since she was a princess of the kingdom, a strong Blazer, and partly because she appeared on the television, Tsukasa was also a famous figure in the academy even though it was only one day after he came to this academy.

Tsukasa’s charm was mystical, and it had reached the superpower level. He could bring a girl to the hotel just by holding her hand if he wanted to. He didn’t even need to say anything, and they could enter the battle right away.

This was why, after Tsukasa entered the academy, he became famous instantly and entered the forum, especially after his mock battle with Kurono.

Kurono might have retired, but she was ranked third in the KOK A-League before she retired. However, she couldn’t even react when she was cut by Tsukasa.

In this era, there weren’t many things that could be hidden from the public, and of course, that included the information about the Blazer.

While Blazer was a hero that would protect the country, they could also become criminals, so the country needed to register all the information, whether it was the status or the ability of the Blazer, so when something unfortunate happened, they could quickly react.

Even Stella’s information was known, so of course, Tsukasa’s information was also known by everyone.

Unlike Stella’s status as an A-rank Blazer, Tsukasa was just a D-rank Blazer.

While Tsukasa’s status as a Blazer might not match Stella’s, his match with Kurono changed everything.

While his magic was just F-rank, his attack was A-rank.

Some people were in doubt, but after seeing the photos and the video of the aftermath of the mock battle between Tsukasa and Kurono, all of them believed why he had A-rank on his offense status.

The combination of his power and his charm were something that had never appeared in this world, and he instantly became a famous figure that many of them, whether they were male or female, became fanatical and searched for the information that they could get.

Although Tsukasa was quite low-key, he might have underestimated the power of journalism at the Hagun Academy since they quickly got so much information about him.

However, while that information was important, they felt they needed to focus on his mock battle with Stella, so they quickly gathered on the Fourth Training Field, where their duel was held.

Ikki was also attracted by this duel since Tsukasa was someone that greeted him after his lonely days. On the other hand, Stella was a Blazer that was born with the strongest magic in the world and history.

While Ikki never mentioned it, if he wanted to graduate from the academy, he needed to win the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, and of course, he knew that Stella would become an obstacle that he needed to face to show that he could become a mage-knight even if he had limited ability and magic.

Still, Ikki was worried about his friend since he knew that magic determined everything, but Tsukasa was just D-rank Blazer. However, it was normal for him to feel worried after all. He hadn’t seen Tsukasa’s match with Kurono.

When Ikki came to the training field, he could see that many people had gathered there, watching the match curiously even though it was still spring break. He didn’t choose to sit down. Instead, he stood up on edge, waiting for the match to start.

While Ikki waited for the match to start, he saw Tsukasa with Kurono that entered the field.

While everyone had seen his photo on the internet, the real one was even handsome, and when Tsukasa appeared, there was a moment of silence in the training field, and no one could say anything until a gulping sound was heard after another.

No one had ever seen someone as handsome and beautiful as him in this world, and the eyes of females and males became feverish when they saw him.

Even Ikki wasn’t much different, and he must admit that this guy was so handsome and beautiful.

After his appearance and fight, there were many people that had tried to give him an epithet.

There was a huge conflict on the forum that Tsukasa had never known since he was quite busy last night.

The face of an angel, yet with a devilish charm that could allure anyone who saw him.

A powerful ability with limited magic.

His appearance was full of contradictions, which is why, while it wasn’t official, many people started to call him a “Fallen Angel.”

The angel that was expelled from heaven became an existence that tempted humans to sin.

Everyone agreed with this epithet after seeing his Device scattered out like beautiful tainted wings on his back.

While it might sound cool, Tsukasa would give him a goosebump when he heard his new epithet.

Still, it had nothing to do with Ikki, and he was more interested in the battle between Tsukasa and Stella since in this battle, he had already envisioned himself battling Stella and thought about how to win her.

‘If I’m in Kugayama-kun’s place, what will I do?’

Facing such a powerful opponent, Ikki started to think about how to defeat his opponent.

There was no place for romance in his head, and he had always focussed on how to achieve his dream to become a mage-knight even with his status as the “Weakest One.”

What was love?

It would only affect his speed to draw his sword.

Ikki was probably thinking at the time, but when he saw Stella, he thought that she was the most beautiful girl that he had ever seen in his life.

‘The most beautiful might be an exaggeration.’

Ikki thought since he believed that if Tsukasa dared to wear a woman’s clothes, he believed that Tsukasa would be the most beautiful woman in this world, but he decided to throw his thoughts away since the mock battle between Tsukasa and Stella was about to start, and he was going to imprint this match to his brain, so it would be useful in the future.

Ikki Kurogane vowed that he would become a mage-knight even if he was known as the “Weakest One.”

However…

‘She’s beautiful…’

Ikki thought at that time when he saw Stella Vermillion.
