Tsukasa had just gotten out of the bed with Rito, but he didn’t expect there would be so many things happening, and right when the sun had risen, everyone from the main school decided to go back to the main building of the Kouryou Academy.

Tsukasa wasn’t sure how to explain, but one thing was for sure, he was going to miss Imari and her Duo, Miwa.

However, Tsukasa knew it might be hard to see them.

Still, everyone returned to the main building and continued with their daily activity normally, but everyone could feel something was brewing, and another crisis might come.

Tsukasa normally spent his time with the girls around, practicing and flirting like usual before he was called by Sakuya to her office again.

“You’re coming.”

“I am coming.” Tsukasa looked at Sakuya and asked worriedly, “Are you alright? You seem tired.”

“Thanks for asking, but a troublesome thing keeps popping one after another.” Sakuya still maintained her calm expression, but her face showed exhaustion. She then stood up from her seat and said, “Sit on the sofa.”

Tsukasa sat on the sofa and then saw Sakuya sitting on his lap like usual. She let out a comfortable sigh and thought his lap was the most comfortable place in this world. If possible, she wanted him to stay with her 24 hours of the time, but she knew there would be many problems if that happened.

Looking at his profile below, Sakuya wanted to grow up as soon as possible somehow.

“……”

Tsukasa had already given up, stopping Sakuya to sit on his lap. He wasn’t sure what Sakuya was thinking, but he knew it should be something that wasn’t worth thinking about. Instead of thinking something useless, he looked at Mikuni, who stayed in the corner of the room as usual. “Thanks for your hard work, Mikuni-sensei.”

Tsukasa knew how Mikuni had fought the entire army of the Libers and won, showing why he was known as the strongest Exceed.

However, that was the past now, since Tsukasa is the strongest Exceed now.

“No, it’s my responsibility to protect this school. It should be me who should thank you since you have protected Ojou-sama well, Kugayama-kun,” Mikuni said with his usual dry tone.

“But I let that guy escape after all.” Tsukasa let out a sigh when he thought about the bald young man, who also seemed to be the trusted man Sakuya’s opponent.

When Tsukasa took a bath, who would expect the young man would escape by using the Unit of his subordinates, ignoring his battered body. He must admit even if the young man was his enemy, his determination and willpower were amazing, but it was already impossible for them to become a friend, and they could only become enemies.

However, Tsukasa had never thought of the young man as his enemy since no matter how strong the Unit developed by the Equipment Smith, it was simply impossible to defeat him.

Tsukasa might seem arrogant in his words, but he was just stating the fact. It was confidence that came from his power.

There was still a long way to go for him to become the most powerful Blazer in his original world, but it wouldn’t be a problem to call him the strongest Exceed in this world.

“Is there going to be another battle?” Tsukasa asked.

“The chances are high. No, I think we’ll have another battle soon,” Sakuya said with a tired sigh.

Tsukasa glanced at Mikuni, who gave him a pleading look, and he only nodded. “I know you’re busy with many matters, but you shouldn’t force yourself all the time. You can rely on me, right?” He patted Sakuya’s head gently and sighed when he thought how hard this little girl worked to maintain this school and the Exceed that her grandfather had built.

Tsukasa once again wondered where Sakuya’s parents were.

‘If only I’d met her mother…’

Instead of Sakuya, Tsukasa wanted to meet Sakuya’s mother, but he wasn’t going to say it since he knew the consequence wasn’t good.

“Thanks.” Sakuya smiled sweetly and gave a peck on his cheek.

“…….”

Tsukasa looked at the sky and understood the feeling of an older brother who was kissed by his cute little sister somehow.

“Here, take this.”

Tsukasa saw Sakuya take out a familiar syringe which surprised him. “Do you want me to become Level V now?”

“Well, can you?” Sakuya asked.

“It should be possible.” Tsukasa didn’t doubt he could become Level V, but he wondered whether the problem Sakuya encountered was so big that she needed him to become Level V now. “Are your opponents troublesome?”

“It’s not a problem, but he’s annoying. He has a grudge against my grandpa, and I also think there is someone behind him who has been backing his every action on me.”

Sakuya had never thought of the Libers, or the Equipment Smith, as her opponents. In her mind, they were just a nuisance. They were flies that kept flying around her, giving an annoying buzzing every time.

Sakuya didn’t care much about them since she knew how strong Exceed was, especially with Rito, Mikuni, and Tsukasa around her. She didn’t think the Equipment Smith could stand a chance against her.

However, Sakuya knew everything wasn’t so simple since she knew there was someone who had been giving support to Libers secretly, especially when she was about to be invited to the Reign Conference.

“Reign Conference, huh?”

Tsukasa really wondered whether Absolute Duo was really as great as the legend was, but he knew the hype was real, especially when there was a special organization whose intention was to achieve the Absolute Duo.

“Well, thanks for telling me. When the time comes, I’ll defeat all of them.” Tsukasa put the syringe in his pocket and didn’t immediately inject it into his body. It wasn’t that he wasn’t ready for anything, but he felt he could maximize the effect of becoming Level V by using the problems he would encounter soon. There might not be a basis for this, but he believed in his intuition. His magic was also eight times the average Blazer now, so there was no need to be in a hurry to increase it, considering this amount was already huge.

“You’re not going to use it now?” Sakuya was surprised since it was different from his usual activities.

“No, I’ll use it later when the situation can’t be helped,” Tsukasa said calmly.

“I see.” Sakuya nodded and said, “You know your body the best, so I won’t say anything.” She knew Tsukasa was the strongest Exceed that was ever born, so all the experience and her knowledge were impossible to determine how strong he was, but one thing for sure, she knew he was ready to become Level V.

As for why Tsukasa didn’t become Level V right away, Sakuya knew there must be a reason, so she didn’t say anything. “Well, I’ll sleep now.” She closed her eyes and used his body as a bed.

“……..”

Tsukasa was in silence and looked at Sakuya, who slept, leaning on his chest comfortably, and could pat her head since this girl was really working hard.
