Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Chapter 9: Noble Art



The Device is a weapon that a Blazer is able to manifest from their soul. It takes on an assortment of different forms and abilities based on the Blazers themselves. It can take the form of simple normal weapons ranging from swords to more modern weapons such as firearms. It can also take the form of things that are non-offensive related to the Blazer's Magic, like a brush or a ring.

In Tsukasa's case, it was a black cube.

When this black cube appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.

Even Touka, who had seen Tsukasa's Device several times, also couldn't help but be captivated by its beauty. It was like a black hole, sucking their attention and making them unable to look away.

Kurono stared at Tsukasa's Device for a moment and asked, "A cube, huh? What a unique shape."

"Haven't seen someone have this kind of shape of Device?" Tsukasa asked.

"No, you're the first time." Kurono shook her head and asked, "What's its name?" Every Device had a name like her Device, which was named Ennoia and Propator.

"Trion."

"Trion..." Kurono murmured and then asked, "So what are you going to do with that cube?" She had read Tsukasa's information and knew that the ability of Tsukasa's Device was to manipulate the concept of a weapon. She wasn't sure what kind of ability it was, but when she saw his Device, she could tell that that black cube was probably could change into the various shape of a weapon.

'But if that's all, there's no way that he can defeat me.'

Kurono didn't even summon her Device and stared at Tsukasa with a relaxed expression.

Tsukasa didn't feel surprised by Kurono's reaction since he knew that she had a right to be so arrogant in front of him. Unlike his ability, Kurono had the ability to manipulate the concept of time.

Every Device will manifest its individual abilities, and as such, is powered by its magical powers, and as such, there is no one noble art that is similar to one another even if their abilities are alike as it matches their own user's personal tastes.

That ability is called Noble Art.

The abilities of Blazers exist in several systems, in which four different categories are Body Enhancement, Nature Interference, Conceptual Manipulation, and Causation Manipulation.

Body Enhancement was quite simple, and the simplest one was to increase physical abilities.

If Tsukasa had to give an example, it was the ability of the main protagonist, Ikki Kurogane, who could double his physical powers. Unfortunately, while it might sound powerful, it was a pretty useless ability since with Magic alone, one could strengthen one's strength by several times.

If Ikki had a large amount of Magic, he would be okay. Unfortunately, he didn't.

Still, while Ikki Kurogane's talk might be interesting, Tsukasa decided to continue with his explanation about the ability.

Similar to Body Enhancement, Nature Interference was also quite simple. It gave the power to create and control specific elements that can be found in nature, such as Fire, Water, Wind, and Lightning.

Touka was part of Nature Interference since it gave her the ability to manipulate lightning, and if she was smart enough, she might be able to turn into lightning.

Still, out of all the systems, the Nature Inference might be the one with the most Magic since they could absorb natural elements around them and convert them into more power known as pseudo mana, letting them use more mana to empower their Noble Art.

After Body Enhancement and Nature Inference, the third system was Conceptual Manipulation. Similar to its name, it had the ability to manipulate a certain concept.

Kurono, who was right in front of him, was part of this system. She had the ability to manipulate the concept of time, which gave her the right to be arrogant in front of Tsukasa.

Tsukasa must admit that Kurono's ability was too strong.

Kurono could stop the time, slow the time, fast the time, and see the future. As long as it was related to the concept of time, she could do all of it.

Tsukasa could imagine if Kurono was about to lose, she might return to the past, so she could change the present result to win.

In other words, as long as one's creativity was enough, one could create many abilities as long as it was related to the concept of one's ability.

Tsukasa's ability might be part of this system, but his ability was quite weird since there were more than one, but he kept it a secret since, based on the system of this world, each Device could only have one ability, but he broke this rule.

Tsukasa wasn't strong enough now, and even if he was strong enough, he also wouldn't announce it since he was afraid that he would be caught as a guinea pig.

Now, after Tsukasa had explained, there was one more system, and this last system was the strongest among all the systems.

Causation Manipulation.

Tsukasa believed that this was the strongest system out there since it manipulated fate itself. However, it was also the rarest since there weren't so many people who owned this system of ability. Still, he had found someone who had this ability, and he was his acquaintance.

Similar to Touka, his acquaintance was also part of the same orphanage.

When Tsukasa learned about the ability of his acquaintance, he was quite jealous since if it was on his hand, then this ability would be even more dreadful.

However, Tsukasa could explain the ability of his acquaintance later since he needed to defeat Kurono first.

"I'm going to do this."

Tsukasa raised his palm, and the black cube instantly turned into a black katana without a sheath.

The katana had a black handle, blackguard, and silver metallic curved, single-edged blade.

When the audience saw this katana, it gave them a shudder since they had a feeling that it could cut anything.

Kurono also subconsciously summoned her Device, and she also had a cold sweat. She didn't know why, but when Tsukasa had his katana, his aura started to change. If it was before, Tsukasa was like her ideal type of man, and if she didn't meet her husband, she might bring him to the ward office to register their marriage.

As a Blazer, one had become an adult when one reached 15, so while it might be rare for Blazers to marry at their 15, it was still possible.

However, this wasn't the time to explain such a trivial thing since there was one thing that was more important right now.

Everyone could feel that Tsukasa's aura had changed, and it was as if he had become a blade. He was a blade that could cut anything. He was so sharp and dangerous, but somehow, it made them blush since this change of state wasn't bad at all.

Somehow, they could imagine themselves being kissed forcefully and having violent sex like an animal who only cared about pleasure.

If there was an angel in this world, then it would be him, but with this aura, it wasn't suitable to call him an angel, and it was more suitable to call him a fallen angel.

Yes, a fallen angel!

An angel that had been expelled from heaven because they had sinned.

This was how they describe his figure at this moment.

Kurono took a deep breath and felt afraid at that moment, but she wasn't wary of his power. While she might be wary of his power, she had confidence in her power, and she had the confidence to win, but she was afraid that she might do something sorry for her family.

There was only one wish that Kurono wanted right now, and that was to go back to her family so she could forget Tsukasa.
