Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Shinguji Kurono sat at the table with a sigh and a tired expression on her face.

A document was placed in front of her, and her index finger kept tapping the table.

"Among the eight academies, I am the one who hasn't submitted the registration form."

She held her forehead and sighed.

If this continued, the number of representatives of the Hagun Academy would be cut in half and become the school with one of the smallest numbers of representatives among all the eight academies.

This year was her first year as the director, and she had to give a good result to the academy. If she couldn't handle this situation, let alone give a good grade on the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, she was afraid that she might be fired from her position first.

"Come in."

She said after she heard a knock on the door.

"Toudou, you're here!"

Watching two figures who came together, Kurono's eyes brightened.

"Also, Tsukasa, you dare to come back now! If you didn't come, I thought you were going to miss this year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival!"

Instantly, she became excited.

"I am sorry, Kurono-sensei."

Touka bowed apologetically to Kurono.

"You don't need to apologize to him. It's all good that he has come back now."

Kurono waved her hand and didn't care about his late entry since he had returned now.

"Come here! Sign this contract!"

She took one document from the table and handed it to Tsukasa.

"Contract?"

Tsukasa took the contract curiously.

What was written on the document was a regulation for participating in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, and it was also clearly written that "you can't participate without signing this contract."

"It's not a contract but a life-and-death statement, right?"

Tsukasa flipped through the regulations and couldn't help but complain.

The regulations clearly informed the contestants that there was a possibility of death in the competition. If they planned to participate, even knowing all of this, they had to sign their name.

"The organizer also has various difficulties."

Kurono reluctantly spread her hands upon hearing this.

"There has been more than one incident in the past where parents caused trouble, social condemnation, and reprimanding from the media after the death of the participant student. This contract is necessary, or else the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival can't be held."

This was a lesson from the past, so naturally, they had learned their mistakes well.

It was also why the organizers came up with this regulation, so even if there was a death incident, even if they received a problem, it wasn't at the level where they couldn't handle it.

After all, it was impossible for this type of game without any risk of casualties.

No matter how hard they prepared, there would always be accidents.

"Can an ordinary student really sign this thing?"

Tsukasa was skeptical.

Not many representative players from the mage-knight students experience a real battle. The organizer told them that there was a risk of death as soon as they wanted to participate in this Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.

Tsukasa, and the other asides, if the ordinary students saw this, wouldn't they want to quit directly?

After all, who wanted to die?

"If you don't dare to take this risk, you're not qualified to be a knight."

Touka smiled fearlessly since she had signed the contract before. She didn't hesitate and did it naturally. If she counts the number of participants in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, this year should be her third time. She was also often sent by the League of Mage-Knight Nations and faced terrorists several times.

This kind of competition wouldn't frighten her.

Tsukasa sighed inwardly but also signed his name without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll complete your registration."

Kurono filled out Tsukasa's participation form for the committee of the event via the internet.

"By the way, take a look at this list. This year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival is different from the previous year."

Kurono then handed him the list of participants of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.

Many things were written there from the schools and contestants who participated in the event this year.

Among all the schools, Akatsuki Academy had the largest number of students.

Akatsuki Academy was created for the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. There were originally seven participants from this school, but because of Nagi Arisuin's withdrawal, there were only six people, but each of them wasn't weak, especially Ouma Kurogane, Sarah Bloodlily, and Amane Shinomiya.

The three of them were their strongest enemies this time!

Then there was Hagun Academy and Bukyoku Academy. The two academies were in similar conditions and only had five participants because of Akatsuki Academy.

Among the contestants of the Bukyoku Academy, there were also the top three players of the previous Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, and their strengths were good.

As for the rest of the academies, the number of participants was quite similar.

"Wait, there are only 32 people this year?"

Tsukasa calculated the total number of participants this year.

The remaining five schools only sent 16 students in total, and on average, one school had fewer than four participants!

Each school had six places to send its representative. In the past, at least 42 students participated in the event, but this year was different.

"This is what happened this year."

Kurono leaned on her chair with a relaxed expression.

With the participants of Touka and Tsukasa, she was confident about this year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.

"The battle between you and Akatsuki Academy a few days ago has already been uploaded on the internet. Now the whole country is paying attention to this year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival. Even the foreign media are no exception!"

Because the prime minister was the one who supported the Akatsuki Academy from behind.

There were also rumors that the students from the Akatsuki Academy were all gathered from terrorist organizations.

This caused some panic, and many people asked to suspend this year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival.

Naturally, the prime minister himself denied this matter. He insisted that everyone in the Akatsuki Academy was innocent, and he seized the opportunity to take back the right to educate the Blazers from the League of Mage-Knight Nations, which gained a lot of support from a large number of people.

Now, everyone in this country was confused about the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival in two days.

The participation of the Akatsuki Academy was an essential game to determine who should be in the control of the Blazers. Country or the League of Mage-Knight Nations. Everything will be determined at the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival in two days.

"Let's put aside the Bukyoku Academy now, it is the first time for most students in the other schools to see the terrorist, and those terrorists are so powerful."

Kurono looked at them and said, "After watching the video, anyone who sees the entire Hagun Academy is under the control of the terrorists will be shocked, so every school is afraid to face a similar situation and decided to abstain... however, this is a huge shame for us!"

The opponent was terrorists, and it was natural for them to be unable to defeat them.

It was normal to think so, but there were too many abnormal people on the internet, and there were quite a lot of people who ridiculed the Hagun Academy as trash for losing to a terrorist.

The reason why no one abstained from the Bunkyou Academy was that the school itself was a strong school with intense training. Every year, many students were trained in real combat, and the students' mental quality was strong.

"In short, we urgently need to use this year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival to prove ourselves and wash away our shame."

Kurono had a sharp smile on her face.

"Get ready. Sleep early and leave tomorrow afternoon. The committee has set up a meeting between participants at the hotel venue of the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival."

She wouldn't follow them.

As one of the top Blazers in this country, she had some responsibilities and duties she needed to do at the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival and would go there alone.

"After you all arrive there, Toudo, as the captain, you have full authority to handle the situation."

"On this matter, Kurono-sensei, I have a proposal."

At that moment, Touka suddenly spoke.

"As the captain of the candidate's representatives, I think it is more appropriate to let Tsukasa serve that position instead of me."
