"You are the great-grandson, Ryouma. One of my subordinates in the war against enemies from another dimension, you inherited his sense of justice and naivety and you even inherited his way of life," Hiko said while rubbing Ikki's head. "And if you continue to live in naivety and delusion like him. If you keep live like that you might end up just like your great grandfather."
Ikki knew the identity of the two meter tall man who was currently rubbing his head.
Because it was impossible for Ikki not to recognize the strongest man in the world who was recognized by all the fighters in the world. Ikki didn't know why Hiko was currently in his room, but what was clear was that he and Stella were shocked to death by Hiko's appearance.
And Ikki didn't like Hiko's words at all, calling himself delusional, naive and a frog in a well.
Ikki knows that he is not delusional or naive because he does not live based on fantasies or by the fantasies that he has. He lives based on his dream of becoming the strongest Blazer even though he is a Level F Blazer. And he is also not a naive guy who lives like a frog in a well!
Because he had seen the ugliness of the world and humans when he worked as a mercenary in conflict areas.
"Hi-Hiko Seijuro XIII-Sama, what are you doing in this place?" Asked Stella, who often met Hiko because the Vermillion Empire was one of Hiko's main sponsors in Moonlite World. "A-are you here to see me?"
"Ah, no, I didn't come here to meet you, Stella-Ojou," Replied Hiko, who stopped rubbing Ikki's head and immediately rubbed Stella's head. "I didn't even know that you were coming to Academy City, Sirius, your father didn't even tell me that you were coming to this city. Even though he knows that I am one of the important people in Academy City, and if he tells me you are in Academy City, then I will definitely register you to live in Yuragi Sou which is the safest place in Academy City."
"My father doesn't want to owe you any more, Mr. Hiko," Stella said with a sigh. "The debt the Vermillion empire owes you is already huge, so I guess father just doesn't want to increase the debt he owes you. And he no longer wants to bother you by hosting me at Yuragi Sou."
"Sigh, your father is such a bother, isn't he? Even though I already told him that the Vermillion Empire no longer owes me anything, with all the money he gives me every year, all the debt he owes me can be said to have been paid off," Hiko said while rubbing Stella's head more firmly. "Well, never mind if he doesn't want to bother me. We'll talk again later Stella-Ojou. Because I still have to ask your boyfriend Kurogane Ikki about the problem he experienced this morning."
"You want to ask about the problem I had this morning in the subway tunnel?" Asked Ikki, who still felt intimidated by the presence of the man who was his great-grandfather's superior. "Does that mean you know something about that dark-skinned girl with blonde hair?"
"Yes, she came to Academy City to trigger a big problem that will claim many victims," Hiko answered in a serious tone. "Did you notice anything unnatural and somewhat unreasonable when you were trying to save Shirai Kuroko?"
"Yes, I did see something strange, like something that only appeared from fantasy and magic films, she made a golem from concrete and train tracks," Ikki said while remembering the incident where he saw a golem forming before his eyes. "That's the first time I've seen someone with his type of ability, is she a special Gemstone Esper? Or is she one of the results of a failed experiment from Academy City? If she wants to create trouble that will cost a lot of lives."
"I can't tell you in detail who that girl really is, because that would endanger your and Stella's lives, because that girl is from the opposite faction of Academy City," Hiko said with an intimidating facial expression. "And if you meet that girl again I hope you run or avoid it, otherwise you will get into trouble that you won't be able to handle. I just came here to confirm your involvement with the case I'm handling and also to warn you not to get involved with this case again in case you meet that girl again."
When Stella heard Hiko's words, she could understand that Hiko just didn't want Ikki to be in danger, that's why he said things like that with intimidation. In the past, Stella didn't want to listen to Hiko's warnings, and as a result she was kidnapped and almost died because of the person who kidnapped her.
Unfortunately, Ikki cannot accept Hiko's words at all, because Ikki feels underestimated by Hiko.
Ikki knows that Sherry is not someone he can face directly, but Ikki is confident that if he makes the right preparations then he can defeat any kind of opponent. His motto is 'With the greatest weakness he has he can defeat all strong enemies by using the greatest strength his enemies have.'
And with this motto and all his martial arts skills along with the F level strength he has, he can defeat all opponents who are much stronger than him except Touma, who he can never beat even after he uses all the abilities he has.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you two, because my business in this place is finished. So I will leave first."
Hiko intended to teleport once again and go to the Anti-Skill office. But before he could teleport, Ikki stopped Hiko by saying;
"What do you mean by saying that I'm not strong enough to defeat that girl if I meet her again!? Or do you think I'm weak to the point that I can't protect the non-Espers in Academy City from that girl! I admit I'm just a level F Blazer with not much ability. I tried to restrain myself from getting angry when you called me naive, delusional and living like a frog in a well! But your last words went too far Hiko Seijuro XIII! I really don't like it when other people look down on me! Fight me Hiko Seijuro XIII! Even though you are called the strongest man and the sword god, I proved to you that I am strong! Because with my biggest weakness as a level F Blazer, I will defeat your biggest strength! Sword god!"
Ikki's words had absolutely no effect on Hiko, because for Hiko Ikki's words were just useless ramblings from someone who was delusional.
"That's why I said you were naive, delusional and lived like a frog in a well. You challenge me and say that you will defeat me with your strength as a level F Blazer? Have you lost your mind! You can't even beat my grandson Touma who always uses you as a punching bag. And you said you wanted to defeat me who is much stronger than Touma. Your delusions are too much, kid! Your father Itsuki once tried to defeat me by using his ability to control blood on orders from the elders of your family and your grandfather! Do you know the results? Currently your grandfather, your father and the elders of the Kurogane clan are still in a coma in the hospital and the Kurogane family is slowly starting to lose its influence because they think they can defeat me."
