nUnder the reluctant gaze of the girls, Tsukasa walked out with Mikuni to visit Sakuya’s office.

n“You’re so popular.”

nTsukasa looked at Mikuni for a moment and asked, “You think I’ll be unpopular?”

n“….”

nMikuni somehow felt that he had asked a stupid question.

n“So, what’s wrong?” Tsukasa asked.

n“You should be ready to become a Level II now, right?” Mikuni asked.

n“Yeah.” Tsukasa nodded with a confident expression on his face and said, “I am ready.”

n“That’s good.” Mikuni nodded with a rare smile.

n“By the way, Mikuni-sensei.”

n“…Yes?” Mikuni felt slightly weird when Tsukasa suddenly called him with a “-sensei” suffix, but he quickly adjusted himself since their relationship was a teacher and a student.

nTsukasa thought for a moment and decided to shake his head. “No, nothing.”

n“What?” Mikuni looked at Tsukasa and asked, “You’re worried about Rito Tsukimi?”

n“Well… I have read the school rules, and an illicit sexual relationship is forbidden here. If someone does it, they’ll be kicked out of the school, but does it work on Rito-sensei?” Tsukasa asked.

n“…”

nMikuni was in silence after he heard Tsukasa’s question. After all, he knew how that the world wasn’t divided with black and white. There was also a gray.

nEven if Rito suddenly attacked Tsukasa and might even **** him, Mikuni believed she would only be punished. As for being kicked out or her Lukifer was taken, he didn’t think so since she was one of the rarest Level V of Exceed.

nLevel V Exceed was powerful, and with just one of them, it was enough to change the current battlefield.

n“Well, it doesn’t really matter since after I have become Level II, I believe that I can defeat Rito-sensei,” Tsukasa said simply.

nMikuni raised his eyebrow after hearing Tsukasa’s statement. While he must admit Tsukasa was powerful, it didn’t mean Rito was weak. As a Level V Exceed, she had a power that a human could have never thought of.

nOn their last fight before, if Mikuni was serious from the beginning, he believed that Tsukasa wouldn’t stand a chance.

nHowever, Mikuni also didn’t deny the possibility of Tsukasa winning against Rito even if he was only Level II Exceed.

n“Try to become Level IV faster.”

nIf Tsukasa became Level IV, Mikuni believed that even he might not even be able to defeat him.

n“Level IV…”

nTsukasa murmured and asked, “So, is there something special about Level IV?”

nMikuni only smiled and said, “You’ll know it soon. Don’t be in a hurry.”

n“Okay.”

nTsukasa only nodded and decided to follow the flow.

nIf Tsukasa could create a Lukifer by using his magic, he might not have trouble and could level up on his own. However, he couldn’t do that and could only wait for Sakuya to give him a Lukifer.

nWhile his Trion could change into many weapons, even the most advanced ones, there were many things that couldn’t be transformed.

nWhile the transformation into the firearm and the most advanced weapon were powerful, Tsukasa felt it wasn’t enough.

nIf possible, Tsukasa wanted his Trion to be changed to other types of Devices such as Kurono’s Device or Stella’s Device.

nHowever, it isn’t possible now.

nStill, Tsukasa didn’t give up and knew that he still had limitless possibilities, especially when he could go to another world freely.

nShortly after, they arrived at Sakuya’s office, and he was greeted by Sakuya.

n“Are you ready to become Level II, Tsukasa?” Sakuya asked.

n“Yeah.”

n“Here.”

nSakuya gave the syringe filled with Lukifer to Tsukasa.

nTsukasa also didn’t say much and just injected the Lukier inside his body. Unlike before, he didn’t feel his body burning. However, he could feel his body become stronger.

nNot only his physical ability but his magic also doubled than before.

nLastly, his magic was twice that of a normal Blazer, but now, his magic was four times that of a normal Blazer.

nIf Tsukasa came back to his original world, his magic would change into D-Rank.

nWhile it wasn’t impressive, it was already good enough, considering how his magic was just F-Rank before.

n“How is it?” Sakuya asked.

n“It’s great. Thanks.”

nStill, Mikunio was speechless since it was so easy for Tsukasa to level up, yet the majority of Exceeds would struggle to level up, which made him realize the huge gap between them.

n“That’s good.” Sakuya sighed in relief then asked, “By the way, your temporary Duo has been decided, right? Who is your partner?”

n“….” Mikuni and Tsukasa.

nMikuni knew that Tsukasa’s temporary partner was Julie Sigtuna, and it was also because of this reason he felt Sakuya might get angry.

nHowever…

n“I am not sure.” Tsukasa shook his head simply.

n“???” Mikuni was confused.

n“Oh? What’s wrong?” Sakuya was also confused.

n“I was in the toilet before, and I missed the homeroom class. I happened to meet Mikuni-sensei on my way back, but he told me that the class finished, so I asked him, and he explained everything to me regarding the student ID, Duo, and many various things, including the temporary Duo.” Tsukasa was lying without batting his eyes since he didn’t want to enter a troublesome situation with Sakuya.

nHowever, Tsukasa felt he might need to fix his lying habit since he knew it wasn’t good.

n“I was not in class before, so I’m not sure who my temporary Duo is, but it’ll probably be random.”

n“I see.” Sakuya nodded and asked, “Whether it is a male or a female, which one would you like to be a Duo?”

n“Female,” Tsukasa answered without hesitation, showing his determination to stop lying.

n“Oh? Female?” Sakuya smiled, but this smile was so cold somehow. “Why?”

n“Why?” Tsukasa sighed and said, “You should know how powerful my charm is. Both guys and girls will be attracted to me. Think of it if a guy suddenly attacks me in the middle of the night…”

n“…..” Sakuya and Mikuni.

n“However, if it’s a girl, I can reject them softly.”

n“Reject her? Why? Isn’t it good that a girl is attracted to you?” Sakuya asked with a smile.

nTsukasa looked at Sakuya for a moment and asked softly, “Do you need me to answer that question?”

nSakuya laughed and said happily, “Okay. You should adjust your body now. You have become a Level II after all.”

n“Okay. I’ll take that offer. Thanks, Sakuya.” Waving his hand, Tsukasa left without hesitation, ignoring Mikuni’s gaze on him.

nMikuni looked at Tsukasa’s back helplessly and wasn’t sure whether he should tell the lie that was made by Tsukasa.

n“Mikuni.”

n“Yes, Ojou-sama?”

n“Please set up a girl as his temporary Duo,” Sakuya said flatly, without a hint of emotion.

n“…Yes, Ojou-sama.”

nIn the end, Mikuni only nodded and thought that if Sakuya really married Tsukasa in the future, this girl might be at his mercy somehow.

nMikuni somehow realized that Tsukasa was more dangerous than he had thought, and he might need to be careful too since he was afraid that Sakuya might misunderstand that he had an interest in Tsukasa too, considering her gaze on him wasn’t good at all.
