The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

The battle between Hagun Academy and Akatsuki Academy ended in Hagun's defeat.

Driven by certain individuals, this incident triggered a nationwide media frenzy, instantly becoming the focus of public attention across the country.

By the time Shinguuji Kurono and Saikyo Nene returned to Hagun Academy, it was already the next day.

As soon as she arrived, Saikyo Nene rushed straight to the infirmary.

Most of Hagun's representative fighters, including Eiji, were lying there.

Their physical injuries had already been treated, but their mental exhaustion was severe.

Fortunately, Eiji was already awake.

Seeing him unharmed, Nene finally let out a sigh of relief, her heart no longer hanging in suspense.

"You reckless idiot! You actually fought against Twin-Wings? Were you trying to get yourself killed?"

The moment her worry faded, an inexplicable surge of anger welled up in Nene, and she began scolding Eiji loudly.

From Arisuin Nagi, they had already learned the details of what happened.

Eiji had actively engaged Edelweiss in combat.

That was beyond insane!

That woman was the world's strongest swordsman—even Saikyo Nene herself would flee on sight, like a mouse encountering a cat. Yet he had actually raised his blade against her?

Had he lost his mind?!

She couldn't even begin to describe how worried she had been when she found out.

"If you two had come back sooner, I wouldn't have had to fight her!"

Lying on the bed, Eiji couldn't help but roll his eyes at her words.

"Then again, maybe not. After all, the other side has a 'wish-fulfillment' ability—even the world's third-strongest wouldn't be able to do anything about it."

Just thinking about Amane Shinomiya's terrifying ability gave Eiji a headache.

Why did the world have to produce such a horrifying power?

And now that guy had his sights set on the Seven Star Sword Art Festival—there was an eighty percent chance they'd end up facing each other. Eiji had no idea how to fight him.

"Tch, it's just fate manipulation. How could something like that affect me?"

But unexpectedly, Nene suddenly puffed out her chest, scoffing at the so-called fate interference.

"You have a way to counter it?"

Eiji was stunned.

As expected of a world-class powerhouse—she really was well-informed!

"I can't tell you."

But then her lips twisted, and she turned her head away.

No matter how much he pressed, she refused to reveal the method to Eiji.

"I already told you, you'll understand once you reach that level!"

Annoyed by his persistence, Nene resorted to the universal answer to brush him off.

"Anyway, as long as you reach that level, you can somewhat evade the interference of others' abilities… That's all you need to know!"

Hmm?

Now that he thought about it…

Back then, Edelweiss had also resisted his ability interference. Could they be referring to the same thing?

"Has Twin-Wings also reached that level?"

"Of course."

So that was it.

Eiji finally understood.

Reaching that level allowed one to evade the interference of others' abilities!

Nene had reached it. Edelweiss had reached it too.

That was why they could both resist Eiji's ability interference—and by extension, Amane Shinomiya's as well.

In front of them, Amane Shinomiya was just an ordinary Blazer, someone they could crush effortlessly!

"So how exactly do you reach that level?"

Eiji felt like he had a sense of direction now and eagerly asked her.

"That part is off-limits for questions!"

Nene crossed her arms in front of her chest, making a big X gesture.

"Anyway, just keep doing what you're doing, and you'll naturally understand my good intentions!"

Eiji rolled his eyes.

Who could possibly understand that?!

You sound like a riddle-spewing lunatic!

"But speaking of which, if you can evade fate interference, why couldn't you make it back last night?"

Seeing her resolute expression, Eiji knew he wouldn't get an answer and reluctantly changed the subject.

"I'll answer that one."

The figure of the beautiful woman in men's attire appeared at the infirmary door.

"We couldn't return not because of fate interference, but because we were deliberately held back."

Shinguuji Kurono glanced around the spacious infirmary.

A night had passed, and a few people still lay unconscious there.

Among them were none other than Touka and Shizuku.

Her eyes darkened for a fleeting moment.

As someone with a strong sense of responsibility, how could she not be furious at such a sight?

"Last night, Nene quickly sensed the force of fate interference and broke free from it. But someone found us—someone of such high status that even we couldn't refuse a meeting… Now that I think about it, he must be the mastermind behind this incident."

The two of them had been held back with that man all night.

It wasn't until late at night that they finally realized something was wrong and ran all the way back from Osaka.

Yes, they ran the entire way.

Flights were inexplicably delayed, trains coincidentally under maintenance—everything happened at the worst possible time, leaving them no choice but to rely on their own legs, spending the whole night running back.

But there was no trace of fate interference in these untimely events—only the shadow of political manipulation.

"That person is the Prime Minister of Japan, right?"

Eiji asked calmly, his expression unchanging.

"...How did you know?"

Kurono stared at Eiji in astonishment.

She never expected him to uncover the true mastermind without any prior contact.

That's right.

The attack on Hagun Academy was orchestrated by none other than the leader of Japan's political arena—Prime Minister Bakuga Tsukikage!

"While investigating the Akatsuki Academy roster, Kagami found they all had the same sponsor. That's when she discovered Bakuga Tsukikage was funding them, leading her to the mastermind behind this…"

Eiji explained coolly.

Kagami deserved all the credit.

"She'll definitely become an amazing journalist in the future."

Kurono praised before sighing.

"But who would've thought the head of this country would target our school… Honestly, I still don't understand his reasons for doing this."

"You just don't want to understand, do you?"

Nene shot her a mocking look.

"Because he was your teacher back in your student days, you refuse to believe he'd do such a thing. But if you just think a little, isn't it obvious he's dissatisfied with the system surrounding Blazers?"

Kurono fell silent.

For all member nations of the League, the education, management, and adjudication rights of all Blazers within their territories are handled exclusively by the League-established branches. No government agencies or commercial organizations are permitted to interfere in the slightest.

This was precisely why the Prime Minister of Japan took action.

"Director, this is terrible!"

Yuuri Oreki appeared breathless at the infirmary door, her face filled with urgency as she spoke.

"The Prime Minister just appeared on television claiming responsibility for this attack!"
