Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 1 Chapter 1 (section)

===Part 6===
The owner of the voice was a teenager with a pair of sky blue eyes and silver hair. Covered under the Babel school uniform, his body seemed to be quite skinny, but insiders could tell that it was a well-trained body. What seemed to be an ordinary stature revealed a stable and unmovable aura. This was the confidence that a truly strong person should have.
 
He is not a fool, his strength is perhaps comparable to mine...no...maybe even slightly stronger.
 
After guessing the gap between the enemy’s strength and his own, Akatsuki could not help but narrow his eyes.
 
“Who are you?”
 
“First time meeting you, Ousawa Akatsuki. I am JPN Babel school’s student president Hikami Kyouya.”
 
Kyouya responded to Akatsuki’s question with a hearty smile.
 
After seeing Kyouya’s appearance, all the staff members at the scene revealed apologetic looks.
 
“Excuse me, sorry to bother you during the holidays to make you take a trip here personally.”
 
“That’s okay. I already know the results of the Norn Screening. If the Screening’s results are accurate, this naturally belongs in my jurisdiction.”
 
“...How strange...” 

“Isn’t the student president only the representative of the students, why do all the teachers on the scene seem to respect and fear him?” [[File:HYnA vol 01 007.jpg|thumbnail]]
 
“I am not too certain, but ——”
 
Akatsuki’s gaze moved from Miu’s back to Kyouya in front of him.
 
“I’ve heard that the student president’s position is held by the strongest student in the Babel school, That means he is the current top dog here.”
 
At the same time, he was the strongest returnee out of all the returnees who came back from an alternative world.

 
In short, he was the strongest Japanese student.

 
After the conversation between the staff members ended, Kyouya turned around.
 
“Ousawa-kun, about the last topic, the performance examination, I will be your opponent. Are there any objections?”
 
“No, I’m fine with that.”
 
This was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Babel school student president was undoubtedly the best testing stone.

—— Taking advantage of this opportunity and testing whether he, who obtained a powerful strength in the alternative world, could stop those two men now.
 
So Akatsuki and Kyouya both took a step forward.
 
Akatsuki originally intended to keep a low profile temporarily after being admitted, but this sudden incident caused him to change his plans and directly challenge the strongest, the student president.
 
“——Ousawa-kun, there is no need to be that serious.”
 
When the remaining distance between the two was only a few meters, Kyouya suddenly exposed a bitter smile, as if he had seen through Akatsuki’s mind.
 
“This is only an examination for combat abilities, I did not mean to have a showdown with you and there is no need to. I only want to test your strengths ——.”
 
At this moment...
 
Under Akatsuki’s foot, the sandy floor suddenly broke into a hole, and a huge icicle rapidly came up from the hole.
 
“——!”
 
Akatsuki hurriedly jumped backwards, and glided on the sandy floor for some distance before stopping.
 
“Ahhh, your reaction is not bad.”
 
Kyouya revealed a knowing smile.
 
But the creation of his icicle made others unable to laugh.
 
“Amazing...”
 
As Miu’s praise came from behind and entered his ears, Akatsuki subconsciously looked up.


 
An icicle with a height of over five meters stood in front of his eyes. Its weight was probably around ten tons. Ice crystal-like spikes were placed across the surface, like a mirror reflecting the surrounding landscape.

By creating such a high purity and tall icicle instantly, the practitioner’s strength is self-evident.
 
...As expected of the strongest Japanese student, I won’t let you down.
 
This way, it would be fun. Akatsuki concealed his inner excitement. On the other side of the icicle, Kyouya could not help but grin.
 
“Ousawa-kun, I’ve heard that you plan to take this test barehanded? So what about this, why don’t you use your prized fist and attack my icicle?”
 
Akatsuki was stunned for a moment.
 
“No wayyy right, that simple?”
 
“You can’t, you can’t fall for his trap!”
 
Miu hurriedly spoke to stop him with a serious expression.
 
“This is not a simple icicle, inside it contains a large amount of magic power, its hardness has probably been increased several times. Using your bare hands to hit the icicle will most likely cause an ending with a bone fracture.”
 
Kyouya shook his head.
 
“This, you do not have to worry about. As long as you are within the barrier, Ousawa-kun’s fist will definitely not be injured, at most it will only hurt a few days.”
 
“——You do not have to bother.”
 
With the huge opportunity in front of him, some pain did not matter much.
 
So Akatsuki clenched his right fist and took a posture.
 
“If I can crush your giant icicle in one punch——"
 
Akatsuki stared at the other side of the icicle.
 
— At that time, you will be my opponent, Hikami Kyouya.
 
Kyouya listened and smiled happily.
 
“Okay, that’s not an issue.”
 
“Very well, that’s a promise.”
 
Akatsuki’s ki began to circulate within his body, he was preparing to use Renkan Keikikou. The stimulated ki entered his meridian and finally concentrated into Akatsuki’s right first.
 
The passing requirement is to crush the icicle, he will not allow any failure.
 
...Okay, Let’s go.
 
“——!”
 
Akatsuki raised his right fist and violently swung it.
 
After an explosive noise, it was followed by a burst of shaking impacts.
 
Witnessing everything, Miu hurriedly closed her eyes and covered her ears with both hands.

After a period of time, the surroundings calmed down, and Miu then slowly opened her eyes.
 
“Waaahh...”
 
Miu could not help but be shocked.
 
—— The result was the following: Kyouya’s icicle was not crushed, not even a single crack lay on it. But the power of Akatsuki’s fist was clearly shown in the icicle’s surroundings. The surrounding sand was blasted several feet, exposing the hard ground, and made it look like the icicle fell down from heaven. A sight that proved the power of the iron fist, but Kyouya’s created icicle was also intact.
 
“Damn it, I failed!”
 
Akatsuki, who raised his head staring at the icicle, was angry. Miu then suddenly realized why.
 
...I understand now, the reason why the icicle remained intact...
 
Miu hurriedly rushed to Akatsuki’s side.
 
“Is your hand still okay?”
 
“Ah, no problem. You can see for yourself.”
 
Akatsuki swung his right hand, proving that he himself did not have any problems. His right hand did not have any broken skin, even a single spot of swelling was nowhere seen. Miu’s eyes widened, revealing an incredulous look.
 
“Whether the giant icicle, which could not be broken, or your fists, both are too exaggerated!”
 
“I thought I would succeed, damn it!”
 
“Excellent, very excellent.”
 
Kyouya also generously praised him.
 
“With such strength, it seems like the day where you and I have a showdown will eventually occur. Okay, the entrance inspection of the two of you is finished now.”
 
Kyouya looked at Akatsuki, then looked at Miu, and with a face filled with smiles.
 
“Welcome both of you to become part of Babel school.”
