Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Chapter 184

Shakti was in silence for a moment, trying to calm her body since she was afraid she might kidnap this young man.

‘Calm down, Shakti.’

Shakti looked at Tsukasa’s age on the form and found out he was half her age, which made her slightly depressed, but love wasn’t bound by a mere number, and she also believed in her charm. However, this wasn’t the time to think about this matter since there was something that she needed to do first.

“Is that so? Let me test you then.”

Instantly, an intense pressure came out from Shakti.

Shakti’s subordinates changed their expression, and they were looking at Shakti in horror. Their entire body trembled, and they couldn’t stand up.

Shakti was a Level V adventurer, and with many years of her activity, she experienced many things, whether killing monsters or people. She had done all of them, especially five years ago when a group of radical Familias rampaged and created chaos in Orario city.

Shakti’s hands weren’t clean, and they were covered in blood.

The pressure and the killing intent that came from Shakti wasn’t something that could be endured by Level I and Level II adventurers. Even Level III adventurers would have a pale face when they faced Shakti.

Tsukasa was only a normal human, so how could he endure this pressure?

However, Tsukasa could endure Shakti’s pressure and killing intent. He stood there calmly, facing this test without changing his face.

While Shakti was powerful and Tsukasa had sealed the power of Lukifer on his body, it was quite easy for him to endure this pressure.

Tsukasa looked at Shakti and wasn’t sure what Level she was, but according to his guess, she should be a Level V adventurer.

From the information he gained from Misha, Tsukasa knew an adventure was grouped into one of two different classes: low-class adventurers and high-class adventurers.

The low-class adventures are Level I adventurers. On the other hand, the high-class adventurers are Level II and above adventurers.

Starting at Level 2, adventurers can also be referred to by differently numbered classes: third class adventurers (Level 2 adventurers), second class adventurers (Level 3-4 adventurers), and first-class adventurers (Level 5+ adventurers).

Tsukasa was just a normal human without a blessing.

While no one said anything, many people were looking down on someone without a blessing since, without a doubt, their power wouldn’t match those people who had gained a blessing from either Gods or Goddesses.

The hard work of someone to learn a skill, a martial art, or any other thing was useless in front of the blessing of Gods or Goddesses.

It was also why Tsukasa needed to participate in this arena, so he could show everyone in the Orario that he was strong even without the blessing.

Still, even without participating in the arena, Tsukasa believed he could also join a Familia. However, he doubted whether he could be treated with respect. Instead, they might look at him with lust and might do something disgusting to him.

After all, whether a human, gods, goddesses, or a lot more, many of them weren’t exactly good people.

Tsukasa didn’t want to waste his time on those groups of bad people since his intention to come to this world was to become stronger as soon as possible.

“Oh?” Shakti was surprised by this and understood Tsukasa wasn’t as simple as he seemed. He wasn’t just a handsome boy. Instead, he had many mysteries around him, which made her become more interested in him. With this will alone, she wouldn’t mind inviting him to her Familia. However, she wasn’t in a hurry since she wanted to see how powerful he was.

“Okay, you passed, but you need to be careful since an adventurer is different from someone who hasn’t received his blessing.”

“Thank you.”

After hearing her reminder, Tsukasa didn’t waste his time and walked toward the waiting area. When he arrived, he saw three people sitting there with pale and frightened expressions watching the battle that happened before them.

Hans, the dwarf that had won the fourth time, had a great power naturally, considering his race as a dwarf. Even if his ax and shield were heavy, he wielded them with ease as if they bore no weight on him.

Tsukasa also sat along with the three people who were waiting for the battle. He could see their state was too nervous to notice him since as long as the dwarf’s opponent lost, it would be their turn to fight the dwarf.

As expected, Hans won the battle again after slamming his shield toward the opponent. He screamed loudly, showing how powerful he was.

“Hans has won once again! It’s amazing! Can someone stop him? Or he’ll keep fighting and win the next match too?”

Hans told everyone that he was going to continue the battle, which received a loud cheer from everyone since they also wanted to see how many times he was going to win.

However, the three people who sat in front of Tsukasa felt a nightmare since they saw the bloody appearance of Hans’s opponent.

“I – I remember the due date for my washing machine’s installment was today! I-I need to pay it now!” Leaving such words, the man left without looking back.

“My-My grandma reminds me to wake her up at noon! I-I need to go back home!” Another man left without hesitation.

“I-I…”

The last man looked at Tsukasa for a moment and kept thinking about what kind of excuse he should give.

However, Tsukasa only patted his shoulder and said, “You don’t need to say anything. Just go.”

The man was looking at Tsukasa in tears before he nodded and left while sniffling.

“…….”

Tsukasa looked at the back of the three men speechlessly, but he didn’t say anything since instead of dying or being hurt in this battle, it was better to go home.

As for honor and prestige, could you eat that?

“Huh? Where’s the rest?”

When the staff of the arena saw there was only Tsukasa, he was dumbfounded since he remembered there were more people inside.

“I am not sure.”

Tsukasa only shrugged his shoulders and pretended that he didn’t know anything since he was a gentleman that wouldn’t use the shame of other men to raise his ego in front of people.

“Well, whatever, are you ready?”

“Yes.”

“Then come in. Your battle is going to start soon.”

Tsukasa nodded and followed the staff. It might be his first battle against an adventurer, but even so, he didn’t feel nervous or anything. Instead, he felt it was dull since even if the battle hadn’t started, he could already guess the result of the battle.

Instead, Tsukasa was more interested in Shakti since he knew he should be able to make an appointment with her after the battle.
