-1250- You're [ Tenkai ]...?

"My identity...?"

Stella's question made Rozen raise his eyebrows.

Actually, there should be quite a few people curious about Rozen's identity.

"Stateless, and completely of unknown origin. Even the chairman said that before this, there was no knowledge of your existence at all. Yet, your magical power ranks second in the world, and you possess such abilities and Devices. Logically, you should have been famous long ago, but even I only found out about you when I entered school. Isn't that strange?"

Stella voiced the thoughts of everyone curious about Rozen's identity.

In short, Rozen is indeed very suspicious, extremely suspicious.

But that's not the most crucial point.

The most crucial point is that even though he is so suspicious, Rozen has never thought of hiding or concealing himself. It's like he doesn't worry at all about others suspecting his identity, and just openly presents his suspiciousness to everyone.

As a result, even if others doubt his identity, they don't know how to respond. That's the attitude everyone holds toward Rozen.

Surely, on the side of the Union, someone must have already started investigating Rozen's origins, right?

No, not only the Union, perhaps even the League and the Rebellion have noticed Rozen and started secretly investigating him.

Even the newly appointed chairman, Shinguji Kurono, probably secretly keeps an eye on Rozen's past. It's possible.

There's no way around it. Rozen's magical power is just too outstanding, destined to attract the attention of all kinds of people. It's impossible for anyone not to be interested in his origins.

Rozen cannot be unaware of the situation he is currently in, but he still maintains an appearance of confidence, or rather, complete indifference. It's as if he doesn't care at all about being targeted by all sorts of people. It's quite audacious.

As a result, even Stella is starting to wonder what kind of person Rozen really is.

"No wonder Kagami is so interested in your affairs. Just like she said, you're practically the second Tenkai, full of mysteries."

Stella honestly expressed her thoughts.

This made Rozen ponder for a moment, then he smiled.

"Perhaps I am the Tenkai that you all have been talking about?"

Rozen said so with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"You're Tenkai...?" Stella was stunned.

Then, as if finding it absurd, Stella waved her hand.

"Impossible, impossible. How could the strongest Blazer appear here? Even though the existence known as Tenkai is also a person full of mysteries, and even Kagami said that he is not very old, probably not more than twenty years old at most, in terms of conditions, it doesn't mismatch with you, but who would believe that the legendary strongest Blazer would appear in the far eastern island country and even become a student at one of the Seven Knight Academies?"

That's just too lacking in realism, leaving Stella unable to believe it, so she simply denied it.

Not to mention...

"That Tenkai is remembered differently every time he appears, and he always wears a black coat, which is likely his Device."

Stella said so.

"And you don't have these characteristics. I remember your appearance very clearly now, and you don't have that miraculous coat. Even your Device, I've seen it before, it's that very annoying chain, which doesn't match the description of Tenkai."

Stella seemed to use this as a basis.

But...

"What's so surprising about that?" Rozen said indifferently. "You know, Tenkai is rumored to have multiple abilities and Devices. So, is it impossible for me to have a possibility other than the one I'm using now?"

"This..." Stella was suddenly speechless.

Indeed, it's not easy to say.

However, Stella still looked somewhat incredulous.

Mainly because the strongest Blazer, whose true face has never been known, suddenly appeared before her and became her classmate and roommate, such an unrealistic situation, leaving Stella with no sense of reality at all.

"In any case, it's impossible for Tenkai to be here, hm, definitely impossible."

Stella affirmed like this, nodding to herself.

Even if the original words were possible, Stella didn't quite believe that Rozen was Tenkai, especially when Rozen spoke so brazenly about it.

"That's a pity," Rozen said, but there was not a hint of regret on his face.

After all, no matter what...

"From today onwards, we are roommates. Can I assume you accept that?"

Rozen confirmed this.

Stella looked hesitant.

"...You really won't attack me at night?"

"No!"

Facing Stella's hesitant question, Rozen could only squint his eyes and retort in a sarcastic tone.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll reluctantly accept it."

Stella grumbled reluctantly.

At this point, the princess finally admitted to the result of having to live under the same roof with the opposite sex.

But...

"You must agree to one condition."

Stella made this request.

"Let me hear it then."

Rozen crossed his arms, appearing as if he were listening attentively.

In this situation, Stella finally expressed her wish.

"Since you don't plan to participate in the Seven Stars Sword Art Festival, I hope you can have a real match with me."

Stella looked directly at Rozen, her eyes burning with fighting spirit as she said so.

"Anyway, I want to have another match with you, it's my first wish since coming to this academy."

Stella earnestly and solemnly expressed this wish.

"Just so obsessed with our match, huh?" Rozen asked unexpectedly.

"Yes," Stella admitted without much explanation.

Although Stella was indeed unwilling to lose to Rozen, more than feeling unwilling, she wanted this person to acknowledge her strength.

This is indeed the first thing Stella has wanted to do and has been wanting to achieve since entering the academy.

Rozen fell silent immediately.

After a while...

"Alright, I understand."

Rozen nodded.

"Since I also have something to discuss with you properly, it might not be a bad thing for you to understand your own strength before that."

Rozen smiled suddenly, causing Stella to smile along.

Next came a concise confirmation.

"When?"

"Tomorrow!"

"Alright, tomorrow it is."

Rozen and Stella made their agreement here.

Two A-rank knights of Hagun Academy, at this moment, decided to battle again.
