Chapter 398: The purpose of the Akatsuki Academy
Tsukasa, who passed out, opened his eyes and saw that he was in an unfamiliar room. It was different from the hospital since the smell of the disinfectant wasn’t so noticeable.
‘Now that you’ve mentioned it, it seems I’ve been here before.’
Tsukasa suddenly wanted to slap his forehead since he recalled that this was his hospital.
“If you’re alright, say something.”
Tsukasa turned his head when he heard this familiar voice. The voice was quite stern and cold, yet it couldn’t hide the worry in her voice. “Thanks, Kiriko. Is it alright for you to come? Your hospital is quite busy, right?” Unlike him, who let his subordinates take care of most of the things in his hospital, Kiriko took care of her patients by herself before she holed up on her research.
“Stupid!”
Tsukasa saw there were some tears in her eyes.
“You think I am heartless enough to ignore you when you’re hurt?”
“Sorry.”
What could he say?
Tsukasa then opened his shirt and saw that the scar on his chest had vanished as if nothing had happened there. He had won against Edelweiss but didn’t want to hurt her after all, so he didn’t cut her down and just used the illusionary form.
However, Edelweiss was panicked or something, so she cut him down.
While Tsukasa was speechless, he was glad that nothing had happened to him. His healing factor might be powerful, but it was useless against bladed things. He wondered whether there was a way to solve this matter, but suddenly he felt some weight in the center of his body. He awoke from his thoughts and looked at Kiriko, who sat on his body. “…Is it okay for a doctor to do something like this to her patient?”
“It’s okay.” Kiriko smiled and said, “As a doctor, I need to check your health. After all, it’ll be dangerous if you have a hidden injury.”
“…”
Tsukasa couldn’t say anything since Kiriko could use her ability to check one’s body whether one had a problem or not instantly. Yet he wasn’t stupid, so he said, “Then please, I have been feeling uncomfortable in that area?”
“In which area? Let me check it clearly.” Kiriko answered with a serious expression, moving her hand, rubbing the place that shouldn’t be from time to time.
“There… that’s the place…”
“Good. Let me check it more thoroughly.”
In the end, they spent three hours deep through his body before Kiriko walked out to tell everyone that Tsukasa was alright. Yet they looked at this doctor with doubt before they saw him sitting on the bed, showing that he was okay.
“Tsukasa, are you okay?”
“How is your body?”
“Let me see.”
Everyone quickly checked their bodies since they were worried about him. After all, his opponent was the strongest swordsman in the world, Edelweiss.
“I’m okay.” Tsukasa showed that he was okay and almost forgot to ask. “Now that you’ve mentioned it. How long have I been sleeping?”
“You have been sleeping for a night,” Touka said while sighing in relief since she could tell she was okay.
On the other hand, Stella, who knew that Tsukasa had been fighting Edelweiss, was silent before she made up her mind to become stronger.
They talked to each other for a while before he told them about his plan to train.
“Training? You’re going to train again?” Kagami asked in surprise since she felt Tsukasa was already so strong!
“Are you sure? There are only ten days before the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival starts, you know?” Kanata asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry. I’ll return before that.”
Tsukasa had made up his mind, so they didn’t stop him and just told him to be careful.
However, Stella made an unexpected request. “Nene-san, can you train me?”
“Huh?” Nene, who was lying lazily on the sofa, looked at the number of beautiful girls around him before suddenly feeling surprised by Stella’s words. “Do you want me to train you?”
“Un.” Stella nodded.
“I’m not someone who is good at teaching, you know? My training is brutal,” Nene said with a cruel grin.
“That’s what I want.” Stella felt she couldn’t back down from this challenge if she wanted to become stronger.
Touka also felt that she had to become stronger, or else she might be defeated by Stella later.
“Good.” Nene nodded, then said, “After I fuck him, we can go and train.”
“…….” Everyone.
Tsukasa was speechless, but he decided to ignore their gazes.
If possible, Tsukasa thought to give everyone the injection to the Lukifer, but it was impossible to produce it now. Even with his cube, he still needed time to create it since some materials could only be found in that world.
Still, when their gaze started to hurt him, Tsukasa looked at Kurono and asked, “Say, Director, what’s really happening? Why did the Akatsuki Academy attack us?” While he had some ideas, there was something that he wanted to confirm.
“……..”
While Kurono knew that Tsukasa was asking him this question because of the situation and the occasion forced him to do so, she still explained what was happening. “It was all because of the prime minister.”
“…Prime minister?” Tsukasa was speechless.
While there was no evidence that what had happened to the Hagun Academy was related to the prime minister, it could clearly be seen how he was the one who planned everything. The reason why Kurono and Nene also didn’t appear on the Hagun at that time was also that they were invited to a certain event in Osaka. When they returned, it was already too late.
For a reason, everything was related to the League of Mage-Knight Nations.
According to the rules of the League of Mage-Knight Nations, Japan, as a member of this country, couldn’t even cultivate or take care of its own Blazers. Instead, all of the Blazers in their country were under the control of the organization.
However, many people were dissatisfied with it.
After all, in World War II, the power of this country was obvious to all. If they wanted to, their status could match those of the big countries such as China, the US, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. Yet the decision that was made after World War II made most of the people in the country dissatisfied.
First of all, they had to return all the territory that they had conquered.
Second, they also had lost control over their own Blazers and could only let the League of Mage-Knight Nations handle all the matters of the Blazers in this country, including the seven mage-knight schools that existed in this country.
In other words, the country didn’t have any rights over all the Blazers in their country.
It was something unthinkable, right?
Yet, it happened.
The existence of the Akatsuki Academy appeared because it wanted to break this country by telling the world how incompetent the League of Mage-Knight Nations was.
If Akatsuki Academy won, the country would be able to have control over its Blazers again.
Yet, frankly, Tsukasa didn’t care since the Akatsuki Academy had decided to fight them, so he was going to destroy them.
‘But before that…’
Tsukasa made up his mind to train, so he could become stronger.
