- A slightly penetrating sea breeze shook the silence inside the dome.
- Every time the atmosphere shook slightly, it caressed his skin.
- Ikki felt a strange uncomfortable feeling with that sensation.
- Was the atmosphere in this place that was flowing like this?
- Why was it caressing his skin like that now?
- ——That’s not it.
- (The flow of the air is strange)
- The visual information he got when surveying the environs not long ago and the atmospheric fluctuation that he felt on his skin.
- These two pieces of information didn’t match.
- They were disordered.
- The atmospheric fluctuation assumed from his visual information and the one that was real diverged.
- Yeah, as if,
- It was as if there was an obstacle other than Stella and himself on the ring――
- – ————————!
- Immediately after he recognized it, Ikki caught it with his eyes.
- Behind Stella. The existence of a dark armor raised a giant halberd overhead…!
- – Stellaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Avoid iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!
- – !
- The reaction of Stella at that moment was the fruit of her trust in Ikki.
- Stella hadn’t noticed the presence behind her yet.
- Nevertheless, she threw her body down to the front reflectively.
- [Ikki sensing that the air flow in an arena is different than what he expected and noticing an attack before Stella can]
- - vol 10
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- -《Katharterio Salamandra》!!!!
- At the same time he noticed it, Stella’s slashing attack of emitting light swallowed the armor.
- It was a direct hit, there was no deny in that.
- With that accurate reaction, Stella taunted him,
- – Humph! How was t――!?
- However, the facial expression of Stella was instantly dyed with surprise.
- That was expected.
- Her deadly blow.《Katharterio Salamandra》.
- He pierced through the torrent of light like it was a gentle breeze without losing a bit of momentum. The black armored knight appeared before the eyes of Stella from inside the light.
- [Iris' armour tanked Katharterio Salamandra with no damage and without a loss of momentum (for Oikage scaling)]
- - vol 10
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- He rolled and twisted his body, then released a horizontal flash at the torso of the armored knight to cut it right in half.
- The armored knight who brought down his halberd couldn’t respond to this.
- 《Intetsu》’s black blade hit the trunk of the armor as if it was absorbed by it.
- However, the slashing attack of Ikki had unparalleled sharpness for sure, but its power wasn’t that high.
- The slashing attack was prevented by the armor, literally the blade didn’t stand up.
- However, Ikki obviously knew that.
- There was no need to cut the armor.
- ――The blade only had to touch him, that much was enough.
- – … !
- The instant《Intetsu》touched the flank of the armor, Ikki put to work the muscles of his whole body.
- He released his second favorite attack by muscle expansion and contraction.
- Sixth Secret Sword《Dokuga no Tachi》.
- It was a technique that caused ripples in the water inside the body of an armor user by hitting a certain kind of vibration against the weapon and armor of the opponent, ignoring all defenses and destroying the enemy from inside.
- Firmness and shock absorption weren’t proportional.
- The poison called vibration spread in the entire body of the armored knight in a flash——
- Fresh blood gushed out from the small openings of the armor.
- [Ikki using Dokuga no Tachi against someone in armour (has now used it against weapons, armour, and someone's bare body)]
- - vol 10
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- With Ikki as the vanguard, the two went to attack him at the same time.
- With this, the armored knight manipulated skillfully the grip of the giant halberd and rotated the halberd above his head.
- As Ikki was closing the hap, the jet-black halberd accelerated by sufficient centrifugal force and became like a black whirlwind, cutting the pulse of Ikki.
- He cut it. ——Or so he thought.
- However, the halberd that should have intercepted him with a perfect timing, waved a few centimeters before Ikki who was running up to him.
- Fourth Secret Sword――《Mirage》.
- It was a body technique that bewitched the eyes of the rival with the tempo of its unique footwork.
- Ikki then also created afterimages in front of him that caused the armored knight to misrecognize the distance.
- And then, the two aimed at the moment when the armored knight vibrated in a big way and attacked him――!
- – Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
- Stella, who was running behind Ikki, returned her sword and swung《Laevateinn》.
- [Shinkirou working against Iris, using it with good precision]
- - vol 10
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- Stella, who was running behind Ikki, returned her sword and swung《Laevateinn》.
- Simultaneously with Ikki who ran ahead and jumped.
- By landing on the middle part of《Laevateinn》that was swung as a foothold, Worst One released the First Secret Sword《Saigeki》, a charging technique that had the most destructive power among the Seven Secret Swords he possessed.
- The charging strength of《Saigeki》and the physical strength of the swing of the sword of Stella shook the ground.
- That made everything concentrate in a single point to pierce the enemy, it was a combined technique that could only be achieved by these two people; it was created by the perfectly coordinated inspiration and combination of them.
- Their names were——
- – 《Tsunoou》——!!
- – 《Harmonic Bullet》——!!
- The inspiration of the name of the techniques weren’t linked at all, but that wasn’t a problem.
- The blow, that was the combination of the strength of the two, was splendid, it hit directly the area between the eyebrows of the enemy who lost his stance due to his attack that missed――that caused sparks and a roaring sound to be produced, and thrust away the armored knight out of the ring.
- However,
- – Wha…!?
- The instant they thought he was pushed out of the ring, he sunk into the wall below the audience seats just like that.
- The armored knight suddenly rotated his body and landed with both feet on the wall surrounding the perimeter of the ring.
- He immediately kicked the wall, smashing it, then leapt towards Ikki and Stella with a momentum like a cannonball, and then to bisect the two altogether, he swung the halberd horizontally.
- It was a long swing with quite a range.
- Even though they dodged it easily, an evident impatience ran on their facial expressions.
- Which wasn’t surprising.
- 《Tsunoou》, which concentrated the physical strength of Stella and Ikki in one point.
- Even though the enemy before their eyes was struck by it directly, no damage went through him, he didn’t even flinch from it.
- [Saigeki combo attack with Stella launching Ikki like a bullet. Different names tho lol. Iris tanks this attack for further oikage scaling]

- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
- – Ikku-kun already knows what I’m talking about, isn’t that right?
- He asked Ikki.
- Ikki nodded to that question.
- It was because he remembered so.
- – Is it perhaps no other thing but when I used《Ittou Rasetsu》 for a second time in the match against Stella?
- Towards that, Tsukikage affirmed with「Exactly」.
- – Magic power is the influence that is related to this world and the thing Blazershave by birth. For this reason, the aggregate amount is determined as fate. But… there are exceptions in this world that disprove that premise. Like those who have severed the chains of fate by their own strong will. There are exceptions that broke the limits of their souls as persons and got out of their destiny. We call those existences《Desperados》.
- Tsukikage said.
- The moment he received Stella’s 《Katharterio Salamandra》, Ikki was defeated in his original fate.
- But he burned with his feelings for Stella and shook free from that fate.
- The fate surrounding this world transcended the limits that was allowed for the being called 『Kurogane Ikki』and caused an unbelievable miracle of raising the upper limit of his magic power, and overturned his fate.
- – At that time, you leveled up the rank of your soul and became an existence different from the regular Blazers. You, who have reached this awakening, have been removed from the circle of fate surrounding this planet, and now you have become able to raise the upper limit of your magic power depending on the training. My first task is to tell you a fact, that you have become an existence that set foot into the current《Domain of the Desperados》.
- [Desperado description, breaking fate pog]
- - vol 10
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- – Yes. In order to reach《Desperado》, one must carry the potential of oneself to the extremes, additionally, it’s necessary for the strong person’s will to rise even higher than that. That is an absolute condition of awakening. … But, have you thought that there are people who can hurt you and how much of them are in this world?
- [Becoming a desperado is based on willpower]
- - vol 10
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- – Although their existences should be concealed for the benefit of all Blazers, the 《Desperados》who have gone beyond their fate through awakening aren’t bound by the fate surrounding this world. And depending on the training, their superior fighting power can extend their magic powers.
- [Desperado outside of fate again]

- Saying that, he flicked《Moon Orb》that was staying in the air with his fingers.
- Then, a wave stood on the mirror surface of《Moon Orb》and a drop fell from the bottom of the orb. It fell on the reinforced slate floor.
- At that moment,
- The drop that fell caused a shining ripple under the feet of Ikki and everyone and projected an image on the floor in the dark.
- – T-this is…!
- Everyone caught their breaths and made their facial expressions become stiff with that image.
- What showed the Device of Tsukikage was――hell.
- A city where the whole surface was engulfed in flames and people burned while being alive.
- It was a sight of blood, cries of pain and flames, it could only be described as hell.
- – … w-what is, this……! The c-children are……!
- – Stella…!
- Lower half of bodies were crushed by the debris? Stella crouched and covered her mouth, she was unable to bear the scene of boys who were trying to escape from the flames desperately but were swallowed up by the flames without realizing their dreams.
- Ikki immediately rushed to Stella and rubbed her back that became rounded, but his face was also pale.
- After all.
- This wasn’t just a video.
- In a simple video, Stella would have just knitted her brows in discomfort, no more than that.
- However, everyone in this place certainly felt it.
- The heat of the flames encircling the surroundings.
- The screams that pierced their ears.
- The smell of human flesh burning to a crisp.
- And clearly with all that.
- None other than they themselves were convinced that the feeling they felt was beyond their understanding.
- That this scene wasn’t fake.
- There was no place for doubt, this was reality.
- – Sensei…! What on earth is this!?
- Kurono raised a voice of protest towards the action of Tsukikage that she couldn’t understand.
- However, at that moment.
- – Eh…? …!? Kuu-chan, that! Look at that!
- Nene watched intently the video while knitting the part of the eyebrows closest to the nose, then by getting aware of a certain thing, she pointed at one place in the video. After that, Kurono also did the same――she shuddered.
- What was indicated by Nene first was the shape of『Toky Sky Tree』that leaned diagonally with violence.
- – No way, are you telling me that this is Tokyo!?
- Tsukikage told 「That’s right」to that awareness.
- – Moon Orb has the power to look into the『Past』of people and places of a defined range. However, the power to read cause and effect sometimes shows me the『Future』that exists on the present line of cause and effect in the form of『Prophetic Dreams』. … This is the memory of the future that such power showed to me. If the fate of the planet changes as it is now, then that will be the appearance of Tokyo of the day that will come sooner or later. I’m playing this from the past of the human called me.
- 「「「Wha….!?」」」
- All of them opened their eyes wide all together with the words of Tsukikage.
- – You’re saying this is the future of Tokyo!?
- – No way…! H-how could that happen…!
- The question of Stella escaped with a trembling voice.
- Towards that, Tsukikage shook his head.
- – I don’t know that. My power is only『To see』. However, I can guess the circumstances from the current world situation.
- Tsukikage, who said so, snapped his fingers to extinguish『Moon Orb』and closed the video of the floor.
- He then approached Stella who fell to her knees and presented his hand while apologizing with「I ‘m sorry for showing you something unpleasant」.
- But Stella returned a stern expression to this person, she didn’t took his hand and stood up by relying on Ikki,
- – You don’t need to apologize, so keep going…!
- She wanted so.
- The other three also showed the same opinion to Tsukikage with their eyes.
- Tsukikage continued speaking after confirming that the four gazes have gathered at him.
- – I presume Stella-hime knows about this, but this world maintains a temporary peace in the rivalry that exists between the three potencies. One of them is the《League of Mage-Knight Nations》 to which Japan also belongs. Another one is the《Union》where big countries such as America, China, Russia and Saudi Arabia are connected. And the last one is《Rebellion》, a tremendously large crime organization that is nested in the darkness of this world. This story is completely ironic, but the presence of a third power called《Rebellion》avoids a major conflict by constraining the extremist movements of both《League》and 《Union》somehow by creating a three-way deadlock which is the current situation. But… this struggle for supremacy won’t last long.
- *** lots of plot not important to feats ***
- Tsukikage dropped his shoulders and sighed.
- ――But,
- – Compared to what you said, you look very happy.
- Ikki judged that his words and his emotions were diverging in a big way.
- And Tsukikage didn’t deny this.
- The wrinkles of his face that were very deeply engraved in this decade, smiled much more stronger,
- – … fufu. Is that so? It’s been 10 years. I just fought believing that was the only salvation. But the only emotion I have in my heart now is joy.
- He answered that he didn’t have regrets or anything like that.
- Because even when he were to lose control spontaneously, then commit a crime and lament the future,
- – Young power is strong enough to break fate because you were raised indomitably…
- Tsukikage saw that at this Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.
- The moment when young forces intersected, enhanced each other and finally tore off even their fates.
- They won’t struggle in an underhanded way when trying to defeat fate, they would do it directly from the front and magnificently.
- He understood so when he looked at the figures just before his eyes.
- It wasn’t his place to say anything anymore.
- – My ability is the power that sees the fate surrounding the planet and nothing else. Outside of that fate, I can’t see the past of the ones that reached the《Domain of the Desperados》and the future they will create. That’s why… I believe that you will lead this country to a completely different future from the future of despair I’ve seen.
- [Desperado's future or past cannot be seen by people who have the power to view both]

- On one hand, she was an A-Rank knight with anticipated prospects from the world.
- On the other hand, he was an F-Rank who was still far from E-Rank even when going
- through《Brute Soul》.
- [Even after awakening Ikki still isn't close to being even an E rank]
- --------------------------------------------------------------
- Ikki decided so and brought down his body while looking for an escape route.
- Yana noticed the expression of Ikki who recovered his composure for an instant and
- peeked at his surroundings to try to escape from this place then raised her voice.
- - Don’t let him get away, you guys!
- 『『『OOOoOoOoOooooooOoooーーーーーッッッ!!!!』』』
- The crowd put much more motivation in their war cry and brandished the specialized
- weapons in each of their hands.
- But――
- - Fuh.
- 『『『Huh!?』』』
- Immediately after, the crowd that attacked the overbearing Ikki lost sight of his figure.
- The brandished specialized weapons grazed the emptiness and hit hard the ground.
- ――He disappeared.
- From before their eyes, all of a sudden. The human.
- In that situation, everyone showed confusion and bewilderment, they weren’t able to
- conceal those,
- 『Kyaaa!?』
- 『Uwaa, w-why was he here!?』
- Screams were heard from behind, they turned their heads to the people that attacked
- Ikki.
- And they saw him.
- Ikki, who had brought down his body and almost touched the ground, ran through the
- narrow gaps in the jostling crowd with an agility like he was a cat.
- That’s right, Ikki hadn’t disappeared.
- The process called acceleration was skipped, he left behind the dynamic vision of all
- the crowd that were attacking him thanks to his body that went at maximum speed
- from the start.
- The crowd that was comprised of amateurs of this art couldn’t keep up with his speed.
- The special movement of Ikki was one of the reasons, but because they were too
- cramped, there were many restrictions to their visual field and their movements.
- They were just a few good-for-nothing.
- No matter how crowded it was, they didn’t become an obstacle for Ikki.
- Ikki went through the gaps of them that became flustered like gliding without losing
- speed at all.
- And when he escaped from that enclosure, he got in a car that someone of the crowd
- drove,
- ――He stole it and ran away from the airport.
- 『I-I can’t believe it. The hell’s that guy?』
- 『How could he run so fast in this crowd of people…!?』
- Yana clicked her tongue while in the stunned group of people,
- - So he’s not the man that defeated Stella-chan just for show, huh…!? However,
- something of this degree was calculated and handled it!
- She took out an old foldable cell phone and got in touch with a certain person.
- - Signard! Groom-san stole a car and escaped to the city! I’ll tell you the license plate!
- ――Meanwhile, Ikki, who had gone through the enclosure of the people of Vermillion
- without difficulty, drove along the empty road due to the majority of the citizens living
- in the imperial capital gathering at the airport.
- [ES allows him to be consistently FTE to a crowd of hundreds of thousands, most of the population of a capital city of a European country]
- - vol 10, chapter 3
- --------------------------------------------------
- On the other hand, Kurogane Ikki made full use of his natural physical ability.
- Right before the tank cannons fired, he manifested《Intetsu》.
- He immediately escaped once he cut off the roof of the car.
- At the moment of the impact, he took in his hands the roof he had cut off and let it
- take the direct hit of the blast like a shield then jumped using the momentum of the
- blast that struck the shield.
- He jumped over the buildings lined along the highway and escaped danger.
- [Cuts off the roof of a car with intetsu and uses the momentum of a tank shell to launch himself over buildings without getting hurt]
- -------------------------------------------------
- 『『『Yes ma’aaaaaaaaaaaam!!!!』』』
- The soldiers fired the rifle they had in their hands while chasing the distant Ikki.
- However, he was able to let all the bullets fired go past him by stepping to the left and right.
- He checked with his sense of hearing the location of the shooting sounds.
- He predicted the arrival time of the bullet speed, he didn’t look back not even a single
- time.
- [Bullet dodging while running away and without looking at the bullets due to sound I guess (subsonic bullets I guess?)]
- - vol 10
- ------------------------------------------------
- Ikki jumped between the roofs and separated from his pursuers in the blink of an eye.
- The soldiers fired bullets at Ikki with the rifles they had in their hands, but none of
- them hit him.
- The soldiers weren’t unskilled.
- Ikki stepped to the left and right to evade the bullets with precision.
- ――He never looked back, not even once.
- He had already assessed the speed of the bullets. And remembered them.
- If so, the timing at which the bullets came flying from the angle and position of the
- firing sound could be roughly calculated.
- It was possible to avoid them, including the calculation error if he had to evade it with
- a bit more room.
- Signard clicked her tongue.
- Although she knew about the level of his physical ability, what Signard saw was just
- Ikki on top of a flat ring.
- It was nothing but the skillfulness of his main sword technique that caught her
- attention.
- The impression of his Noble Arts《Ittou Shura》was also combined with it, she thought
- “he was a strong knight specialized in matches”.
- But that wasn’t it.
- Signard realized it.
- The fundamentals, the foundation that sustained that sword technique.
- The sharpened physical ability and concentration ability of Ikki weren’t common. And
- his ability to grasp space.
- Ikki wasn’t bothered at all by the terrain or the surprise attacks.
- He constantly turned his head and selected the best movement at the very instant, he
- understood the art to break the battle.
- This tenacity, this determination to use everything he noticed――
- (――this guy’s the type that exists for war rather than for regular matches…!)
- The non-Blazer forces weren’t opponents for him.
- It should be possible for Ikki to return and take the head of the enemy general by
- himself.
- He wasn’t flashy so as to blow up the large army in one hit like Stella, but he had the
- penetrating ability to deeply pierce through the enemy like a sharp needle.
- [More no-look bullet dodging. Implied that he can't flat out react to them but predicts them coming instead. Also, he has an excellent grasp of space, a "war type blazer" rather than a "single match blazer"]
- - vol 10
- ---------------------------------------------------------
- (It’s weird)
- Ikki felt an uncomfortable feeling as he rode fast the roofs of the buildings of
- Vermillion alone, he completely got separated from Signard and company.
- Even though he broke off from his pursuers and didn’t see their figures anymore,
- (There are two gazes that were able to stick to me this whole time)
- Moreover, one of them was so close he could hear their breathing.
- Where were they?
- They weren’t to the right.
- They weren’t to the left.
- They weren’t in front or above him――in that case,
- - ――from below!
- A water sound and a splash rose in an instant, a three-pronged lance popped out of the
- roof right below Ikki.
- Ikki barely blocked it with《Intetsu》.
- [Sensed that he was being watched and reacted to a surprise attack from below]
- - vol 10
- -----------------------------------------------------
- - Heh, now, Milly!
- The barley-skinned girl that appeared from inside the roof with lance in hand shouted,
- - Or rather, I know what to do even if you don’t tell me〜.
- Immediately after, the ears of Ikki made a dry, bursting sound.
- Together with that, he felt like a lightning running in his femur.
- (She’s sniping…!)
- - Fuh!
- - Whoah!?
- The intuition that was sharpened to be out of danger many times moved the body of
- Ikki like drifting.
- He launched a kick loaded with his weight on the long handle of the lance and pulled
- away one of the assailants,
- - Haaaa!
- A black, circular bullet that flew and broke through the wind was cut in two, it was
- chopped.
- The divided, severed bullet slid on the blade of《Intetsu》and passed to the left and right of Ikki――
- - Ahhaaah ☆.
- - …!?
- At that moment, the hemispherical bullet took a sharp turn and thrust into both feet of
- Ikki from the left and right.
- Ikki dodged them by jumping to the back right away.
- It was an evasion that owed everything to Ikki’s power of concentration who had
- always won through disadvantageous fights, and to not being careless because he let
- the attacks of the enemies go past.
- The semi-circular bullets lost their target, sunk into the roof and stopped their
- movement.
- - Not gooood, this guy’s super faaast. They were dodged with such a timing, this’ll be a
- serious booooothersooome.
- [Reacts to a sniper(musket?) shot with instinct or something, cuts it in half, then react to the cut up sections swerving in mid-air to try to hit him again]

- ---------------------------------------------------------
- At that second, Milliaria abandoned the speed-decreasing《Calamity Barrett》.
- Then fired three new《Calamity Barrett》aiming at Ikki who made a jump in the air.
- Yes. The creation of this situation was the aim of their wave attacks.
- People couldn’t move in the air except for the Blazers that had a special ability.
- He was completely defenseless.
- It wasn’t possible to evade the maximum speed of《Calamity Barrett》that were just
- shot with that momentum.
- The three bullets attacked him.
- Ikki flipped his body in the air.
- Then took an interception stance with sword in hand――
- (That’s really meaningless〜)
- It was insignificant for《Calamity Barrett》whether they were cut or repelled.
- If they were cut, the number of balls would increase just like before.
- If they were repelled, then they’ll attack him many times due to the propulsion of
- ricochet’s momentum.
- ――That was what she supposed.
- That was why both Milliaria and Tilmitt were convinced of their victory, but――
- - Haaa!
- At the same time as the three bullets pierced Ikki.
- Three slashing lights surrounded Ikki and《Calamity Barrett》lost its ardent driving
- force, it was attracted by gravity and fell to the ground without force, Ikki was safe, he
- landed on a building shorter than the one Milliaria and Tilmitt were standing on.
- - Huh?
- Milliaria got confused by the unexpected consequences.
- The ability of Kurogane Ikki should be physical strengthening.
- That was why she was able to invalidate his Noble Arts.
- But Tilmitt who had a taijutsu sense greater than Milliaria, comprehended together with shivers the superhuman feat of Ikki just now in the sea of stones.
- (They completely cancelled each other out…!)
- It was evidently that.
- Ikki, in the defense and offense so far, and the bullets that Milliaria replaced twice up
- to now, he read that her ability is to guarantee nothing else but『Trajectory』, she
- doesn’t have the power to『re-accelerate』the fired bullets. By striking the bullets with
- the same energy as the energy contained in them, they weren’t repelled to the back like
- before and weren’t sliced off either, all their movements were cancelled.
- (Milly’s ability is just『bullets』, they aren’t『missiles』. What we’re doing is
- meaningless)
- 《Calamity Barrett》was powerless against enemies that had a technique of such level.
- [Counter 'sure hit bullets' that track continuously until they hit the target by figuring out their exact momentum and using that exact amount of force on each of them so that they couldn't ricochet back and stopped dead in their tracks]

- -------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Device of the opponent was no exception.
- Now it was the time to move the trump card prepared in case the collaboration with
- Miriallia didn’t go well.
- Triaina slipped through Ikki’s《Intetsu》 that tried to stop the point of the lance with a water sound and hurried to the face of Ikki in a straight line.
- (Got you!)
- The moment Tilmitt was convinced about it,
- - That’s too open.
- Certainly, 《Triaina》supposedly stabbed Ikki’s forehead, but it turned away to the side like sliding on the skin of Ikki.
- It was the secret technique that warded off the blade with only a slight defensive body
- movement ――《Flawless》.
- Ikki dodged the lance attack of Tilmitt with that,
- - Fuh.
- He slashed Tilmitt who became defenseless in mid-air due to the unexpected protection
- with the blade of《Illusory Form》.
- [Ikki defending against an attack that phased through his guard the first time he sees it with ten'i muhou (translated as 'flawless' here)]

- ----------------------------------------------------------------
- Dandalion launched thrusts from the most effective distance.
- His speed was just like lightning speed.
- From the offenses so far, this speed was of a different dimension.
- Instantaneous.
- The instinct of Ikki that was sharpened by slipping through the verge of death gave
- birth to phantom pains that pierced his skin.
- The locations were: the lungs, throat, heart and the point below the navel.
- What was released by Dandalion was five instant thrusts crowned with the name of
- Southern Cross, he was on the verge of piercing those five human body’s weak points.
- (――This, is bad…!)
- Even Ikki wasn’t able to block them.
- However, Dandalion’s thrusts returned even when parrying them.
- It was difficult to protect against them.
- But Ikki, against Dandalion’s attack――
- Dandalion also took an unthinkable response.
- - Huuh――!?
- The next moment, Dandalion revealed surprise.
- Ikki firmly pressed the ground with his feet that were drew back to come down and
- charged with all his body towards him who tried to release the thrusts.
- And when he sustained the first thrust of 《Croix Du Sud》that went into his right
- lung with the sword handle as a shield――he put pressure on the body of Dandalion
- with all his might.
- From that, the stabbed Ikki and the pressured Dandalion stepped back at the same
- time, the distance between the two of them widened again.
- Yes, Ikki began to shut down the five thrusts of Dandalion and got out of the
- predicament by pushing him away.
- - Fuh…
- Dandalion had a deep respect to Ikki who caught his breath.
- - Certainly, you have defeated Stella-sama while being just an F-Rank.
- His intuition came from the motion of the enemy, the detailed gaze movements and
- the vast combat experience.
- And also he read through of the enemy’s sword, he saw through it even if it was his
- first time seeing a technique.
- [Ikki precog against must faster opponent and countering a technique he's seeing for the first time]

- They probably didn’t think that he was going to jump over the castle walls of more than 20 meters.
- Ikki jumped on the triangle roof of the tall church without being discovered by anyone,

- A red-haired small man and a large man that looked like a barrel were forcing back the
- pistons of huge press machines placed in front of each of them.
- This equipment was used to improve the quantity of instant magic power release of a
- Blazer.
- The pistons of the pressured press machines were pushed back due to reinforcement of
- physical strength thanks to magic power release.
- It was a simple training, but it was a training where expectations about having a
- positive effect were possible.
- The pressure of the large press machines has already exceeded 2 tons for both of them.
- They were still pushing back the pistons bit by bit, but with certainty.
- The average for a Blazer was around 500 kg, meaning they were owners of an excellent
- physical strength.
- [Average Blazers can lift around 500kg, Ikki is objectively far below that]

- The two women in their early twenties were running in the 50m training swimming
- pool that was fiercely flowing like the rising water of an overflowed river.
- That’s correct, they weren’t swimming, but running straight through the violent water
- current on the bottom of the pool in a while sticking to the bottom using magic.
- Thanks to this, they could train their magic control powers.
- There were exercises for training of magic power control like keeping the water floating
- without making it spill as well as shaping clay without touching it with their hands, but
- the training of running on top of raging streams, the one that the two of them were
- doing, boasted to be the most difficult among them.
- It was clear that the ability of these two women as Blazers was quite high even if they
- continued doing it somehow or another while expressing their dissatisfaction.

- - Johan. By the way, are the rumors of this guy really true? Wasn’t《Crimson Princess
- 》’s physical condition very bad?
- - To put it bluntly, even if the five of us hit him, we can’t win.
- - But isn’t written here that he’s an F-Rank? Isn’t this a mistake then?
- - No, the rank itself is correct. I also watched the match, but his magic-related power
- couldn’t be ranked other than F-Rank. However, he’s strong… or rather, to an unusual
- extent where he’s『good at fighting』. It’s unfortunate, but we’re no opponents for
- him.
- [Ikki definitely F rank but just god skill]
