After Golden Week, school started as usual.

However, even though it was Golden Week, it didn’t mean all of them decided to go home. Instead, they couldn’t go back and spent the majority of their time in the Kouryou Academy. Still, no one complained since they knew that their freedom was limited once they had become an Exceed.

The power of an Exceed had broken the human boundary, and no one knew what one could do once they were let go.

Still, even though they couldn’t go back, it didn’t mean they were trapped, and as long as they received permission, they could walk out of the island and go to the department store or do recreation somewhere.

However, no one was in the mood to do so, especially when the majority of them had been defeated by Julie singlehandedly. They felt depressed, and at the same time, they decided to train harder during this Golden Week.

Still, the one who worked the hardest was the one who was defeated by Tsukasa at the beginning of the “New Blaze Battle” since they realized how weak they were and were also amazed at how strong Tsukasa was, so when the class started, Tsukasa and Julie became the center of attention.

However, the two were unfazed and did their own things.

Tomoe and Miyabi, who saw this, could only helplessly sigh since Tsukasa and Julie were too free-spirited. They knew that there were many people who wanted to talk with the two of them, but his aura made them unable to approach them. However, they also understood that it wasn’t necessary to become friends with everyone since the purpose of this school was to become stronger.

“Still, if you become more friendly, you should be able to get more friends, you know?” Tomoe sighed.

“Tomoe, you think that if they get close to me, our relationship will be nothing more than a friend?” Tsukasa asked.

Tomoe wanted to say something, but in the end, she shut her mouth. If Tsukasa acted friendly, she could imagine how all the girls were, whether this class or even the upper class, teachers and even alumni might even line up to get to know him. By then, he wouldn’t even have time to train, and he might not even have time to be with her either.

“It’s better like this,” Tomoe said without hesitation since she knew how dangerous Tsukasa’s charm was.

While they talked to each other, they ignored the people around them until the class started and Rito entered the class.

As Rito entered, everyone quickly realized that there was a change in her, but they couldn’t tell that change. However, one thing was for sure. They could tell that she had become more beautiful. If they had to give an example, it was like they were just a bud before, but now, she had bloomed.

Miyabi looked at Rito for a moment before she looked at Tsukasa.

“…..”

Tsukasa noticed Miyabi’s gaze, but he only gave her a faint smile with a slight nod.

Miyabi blushed before she looked away.

Julie looked at Tsukasa and Miyabi for a moment and suddenly fell into deep thought. She knew that they had been doing something secretly without telling her, and she felt quite lonely since she didn’t want to be left behind, and she was also quite curious about what they were doing.

Rito’s mood was so good, and she felt the world was full of rainbows. She only glanced at Tsukasa, but she knew that guy must understand what she wanted to do. She then started her class and explained to everyone the ritual of the sublimation and level up since there was a huge difference between Level II and Level I while thinking about what she was going to do with him tonight.

As Rito talked suddenly, the door was opened, and everyone’s attention was gathered there.

The appearance of the intruder was beautiful.

However, with Tsukasa around them, somehow, the impact that was brought by this girl was quite low.

A beautiful blonde-haired foreign girl with blue gemstone eyes was the one who entered, looking around for a moment before she was stunned when she saw Tsukasa.

Unlike the others, Tsukasa didn’t have an interest in this girl and just scribbled something in his book while wearing a small earphone made by using his Blaze. However, it didn’t mean he didn’t notice this girl since he must admit this girl was beautiful.

However, Tsukasa had enough and didn’t want to make a complicated relationship again unless that girl threw herself at him.

Still, Tsukasa felt it was impossible, considering the girl walked in his direction without hesitation and suddenly lifted his chin boldly.

“…..” Tsukasa.

“Hmm…” The girl flushed and made a satisfied expression. “As expected, you’re the one.”

However, this action caused all the girls and even some boys to become hostile toward this blonde-haired girl.

“Excuse me?” Tsukasa pulled her hand away while feeling speechless when this girl invaded his personal space.

The girl looked at her hand that was held by Tsukasa and felt that it was so nice. “I am sorry for being rude, but are you Kugayama Tsukasa?”

“No, you have found the wrong person. Kugayama Tsukasa is in the next class,” Tsukasa said calmly.

“…” Everyone.

The girl was dumbfounded, but then she quickly said, “Don’t lie to me! I know that you’re Kugayama Tsukasa!” There had never been a mistake since she knew how handsome and beautiful Kugayama Tsukasa was from the picture given to her, and frankly, the picture gave a poor job to contain his beauty since the real one was thousands of times more amazing!

“If you know me, you shouldn’t have asked me, right?” Tsukasa said flatly.

“That’s true.” The girl chuckled and said, “Sorry for asking a stupid question.”

“It’s okay.” Tsukasa looked at the girl and asked, “So? Who are you? And didn’t you realize that you had interrupted the class?” He glanced at Rito, who gave him a thumbs up since he could see how annoyed Rito was toward this girl. However, from how Rito was unable to say anything, he could tell that this girl should be a rich woman or even someone who was connected to the Dawn Organization.

“Oh, right. How rude of me.” The girl then turned toward everyone and said, “I am Lilith Bristol. I have transferred here from England. I will allow you all the special privileges of addressing me by my first name.”

Lilith then looked at Rito and said, “You’ll give me special permission to bring him with me, right, Tsukimi-sensei?”

Rito’s expression distorted at this moment, but she could only grit her teeth and showed a forced smile. “Go ahead…”

“We have gotten her permission now. Let’s go, Tsukasa-kun.” Lilith walked out without hesitation, but Tsukasa didn’t move from his spot and ignored her.

“…..” Everyone.

Lilith realized that Tsukasa didn’t move, which made her frown, and asked, “Did you not hear what I have told you?”

“I heard you, but I refused.”

Tsukasa didn’t like someone who thought that everything would go according to what they said, and what he loved the most was to say “no” to those who believed that they could make everyone say “yes” to them.

However, unlike Tsukasa imagined, Lilith didn’t seem discouraged and became even more excited. “It’s my first time to have someone reject me, and it feels refreshing. While I don’t like to repeat myself, I’ll ask you again.” She looked at Tsukasa and said, “Follow me, Tsukasa.”

“Sorry, but the answer is still the same even if you ask me twice.” Tsukasa didn’t even glance at Lilith and said, “I refuse.”

“……”

Everyone was silent and thought that their confrontation was so intense!
