After discussing for a long time, the three couldn't come up with a good way to deal with Shinomiya Amane. There was really no way to deal with an ability like good luck.
Moreover, Shinomiya Amane's target was undoubtedly Kurogane Ikki, and Kurogane Shizuku, who was closest to him, was likely to be targeted by her because of this.
This was the reason why Kurogane Ikki was so anxious.
Later, Kurogane Ikki directly suggested that Kurogane Shizuku concede directly.
But Drake could see that Kurogane Shizuku herself had no such idea at all.
Because Kurogane Shizuku knew that Kurogane Ikki would encounter Shinomiya Amane sooner or later in the subsequent matches. She could choose to avoid it, but Kurogane Ikki would never give up.
So she wouldn't run away without a fight either. Even if she lost and encountered danger, she would fight Shinomiya Amane.
In the end, even if she could only get a little information about the other party's ability, it could increase Kurogane Ikki's chances of winning. This was the resolve of the girl named Kurogane Shizuku!
Drake naturally noticed Kurogane Shizuku's thoughts, so he couldn't say anything to stop her.
In the following days, the competition continued, and the top four were also born in each division.
The one who won in Division A was naturally Kurogane Ouma. He had defeated Kaga Koiji and Toudo Touka one after another, and it was only right that he obtained the qualification to advance.
Kaga Koiji's steel body couldn't defend against Kurogane Ouma's blade at all. And Toudo Touka's Raikiri also failed to break through his Heavenly Dragon Armor.
In Division B, Stella swept away the other members of Akatsuki Academy, forcefully obtaining the qualification to advance. Even if Hiraga Reisen used the Device technique Deus Ex Machina, directly opening a Gundam, he was still torn apart by Stella with her bare hands.
Division C was more interesting. Kurogane Ikki maintained his usual bad luck, and his next opponents were more difficult to deal with than the last.
After Moroboshi Yuudai, he encountered Shironosaki Byakuya, last year's runner-up. And his last opponent was Sara Bloodlily, who could manifest the phantoms of other strong people through painting.
After a hard battle, Ikki finally achieved victory.
And the accident happened in the last Division D. Kurogane Shizuku didn't know why, but she attacked Shinomiya Amane before the competition, but in the end, she herself was seriously injured, and she was disqualified from the competition for violating the competition rules.
To prevent Kurogane Ikki from encountering Shinomiya Amane, she had to eliminate her even if it meant violating the competition rules. This was indeed something that Kurogane Shizuku could do.
But for some reason, Drake always had a feeling that this matter was related to Shinomiya Amane.
Not only Drake, but Kurogane Ikki also had the same feeling, so he was rarely angry. Although he didn't show it, that was precisely why it was even more terrifying.
Then, in the semi-finals, Kurogane Ikki overcame the malice of fate against him and defeated Shinomiya Amane.
And in another match, Stella also became serious, taking out all of her strength. She defeated Kurogane Ouma with overwhelming force, giving a conclusion to who was stronger between the two A-ranked Blazers of this year.
Then Stella and Kurogane Ikki met in the finals.
Drake lacked information about this world, so he didn't know how it originally developed, but these two did show Drake an exciting match.
After the match, although Stella stomped her feet unwillingly, breaking the ground, she still had to admit that Kurogane Ikki's pursuit of victory was much firmer than hers, so she didn't lose unfairly.
But there were quite a few strong people in the audience, and these people had all noticed what had happened in the match.
Originally, Kurogane Ikki, who had exhausted his magic power and had reached the limit of Ittou Shura, shouldn't have been able to win against Stella.
But Kurogane Ikki escaped the fate of defeat, using Ittou Shura for the second time, and only then did he defeat Stella.
Experienced people knew what had happened, and even Drake had guessed the reason.
Kurogane Ikki had broken through the limits of fate, becoming a life form called a "Demon Person." And in Ryumei Academy, this realm was called a Sage.
After becoming a Demon Person, Kurogane Ikki's magic power was no longer limited by fate, and could grow through training.
Most importantly, facing an opponent at the Demon Person level, only someone who was also a Demon Person wouldn't be directly defeated by being drawn by the other party's fate.
There was also this aspect to why Stella lost. Facing Kurogane Ikki, who had broken through and become a Demon Person, even if Stella was stronger, she couldn't resist the failure in fate.
In any case, Kurogane Ikki had finally achieved his goal, obtaining the honor of the Seven Star Sword King. This way, even his father... the director of the Japanese branch of the Alliance wouldn't be able to deny his position as a Blazer.
After the competition ended, Drake and the others went to his family's okonomiyaki restaurant at Moroboshi Yuudai's invitation to celebrate.
Okonomiyaki could also be considered a local specialty, and Moroboshi Yuudai was quite confident in his family's craftsmanship.
The participants in the banquet weren't only the proposer Moroboshi Yuudai and the others, and the main characters, the members of Hagun Academy. Even the elites of other academies were invited together.
Even Kurogane Ouma, Kazematsuri Rinna, and Sara Bloodlily of Akatsuki Academy were brought to Moroboshi Yuudai's restaurant.
Kurogane Ouma not only had a relationship with Kurogane Ikki, but he and Moroboshi Yuudai had also fought in the Elementary School Cup competition, so they could be considered old acquaintances.
And what was surprising was that Kazematsuri Rinna and Tokatagahara Kanata of Hagun Academy were also very familiar.
Because the Kazematsuri family and the Tokatagahara family were both Japanese zaibatsu, the two, who were the daughters of the respective families, had known each other since childhood.
And Sara Bloodlily was now also the adopted daughter of the Kazematsuri family.
Sara pestered Ikki to be her nude model, and then was kicked away by Kurogane Ikki and couldn't get up again.
Fortunately, the most excellent doctor was present. Yakushi Kiriko only touched her and "revived" her.
Kazematsuri Rinna was loudly saying chuunibyou words, and the tongue-tied maid on the side was translating while picking out the ingredients that the girl hated.
Moroboshi Yuudai completely ignored Kurogane Ouma's impatient appearance, constantly talking to him. Shironosaki Byakuya was also looking at Kaga Koiji with a reluctant expression.
Toudo Touka and Tokatagahara Kanata were quietly talking about something, but they seemed very happy.
That was of course. This year's Seven Star Sword Art Festival not only saw Hagun Academy win the Seven Star Sword King after a long absence, but the others had also achieved good results.
As members of the student council, although it wasn't their own achievements, they were also proud of it.
As for Drake, he was constantly moving the food from other people's tables to in front of him. Then Stella would quickly clear the food.
Stella's ability gave her the powers of a dragon, and her physical energy consumption also increased as a result.
The competition during this time had consumed a lot of her stamina, and she urgently needed to replenish her nutrition.
Drake was of course distressed for his girl, so he focused on passing food to her.
Stella was smiling sweetly, thinking that she would soon be returning to the Vermillion Kingdom with Drake, and she couldn't suppress her joy even more.
