*All students are shown reunited with Aphrodite and Zeus*
Aphrodite.- I suppose you all know why we are gathered here, just a few days have passed since that tragedy, we know that this is a delicate moment for many, who have lost friends and family. However, we have made the decision to go ahead with the Tournament we had planned
Lux.- Wait a minute, they can't be serious. All those who died, I don't think it's the most logical thing to do
Zeus: We're very clear that most of you weren't going to want to participate in this situation, so we won't force you, so if we don't get the three participants for the battle against Nork, we'll pull out.
Violet.- *Think* This is crazy, I can't even get those images out of my head, all those who died
*Violet remembers the thousands of dead she saw that day*
Yuki.- *Think* What should I do? Those guys are really dangerous, what if we don't find them again? Will we have to fight those monsters?
Yohei.- *Thinks* Damn, you have to talk, why can't I say a word? Am I afraid?
*Yohei shown trembling*
Zef.- *Think* Hey, hey, don't with me, are you shaking? What the hell did you see?
Sebastian.- *Think* He doubts that anyone is going to speak, not even the strongest of us has the courage to do so.
Aphrodite.- *Think* This is bad...
*Eden raises his hand*
Edén.- I will go
*Everyone is surprised*
Shu.- Edén...
Eden.- If I stay here with my arms crossed, I won't achieve anything, I'd rather die trying, than live without having tried
Isaac.- *smiles* I'll go too
Eden: What?
Isaac: I like your bravery, demon
Shu.- I'll go too,
Eden: Shu... Why?
Shu.- I can't leave two idiots alone, there must be someone responsible
Isaac: Who are you calling an idiot?
Aphrodite.- So it is decided, Isaac Yoi, Eden Yomi and Shu Sagesse will be the three participants of the tournament. The rest can leave
*Everyone leaves and the three participants stay*
Zeus.- As you know, there are three of you, and the format will be 1 against 1, but we have to inform you something. We can't guarantee your safety in the event that something like what happened the other day happens, you'll be on your own
Eden: At no time did I think of asking for help, I thought of facing them alone
Zeus: Shu, you must see to it that these two do not do stupid things
Shu.- I'll take care of that
Zeus: We trust you
Aphrodite: On the other hand, I'll go with you, but I don't know if I can protect you, those guys are a hundred times stronger than me. However, I will give my life if necessary.
Shu: If you're telling us all this, I suppose you should be sure that they'll show up there
Zeus: We're 90% sure of that
Shu: So why don't you go there? If all 12 gods face them, they can defeat them for sure
Zeus: We have two reasons: First, they have people infiltrated in our ranks, and they can know our movements, so if we all go there, they will most likely attack the rest of the cities, so we can't risk losing a lot of people. Second, even though we are the 12 gods of the Junta, we can't deal with their boss, he would finish them all off
Shu.- Impossible...
Aphrodite: Besides, we still don't really understand how their leader, whom they call a prophet, thinks, so we don't know when or where he will appear
Zeus.- We trust the three of you, especially you Eden, we know that your help will be key to catching those guys
Eden.- I'm not going to stop until I catch them
*Perspective changed again and the city in reconstruction is shown*
Yuki: Can you tell what the hell they were thinking?
Eden: What do you mean?
Yuki.- By wanting to go to Nork, are you idiots?
Eden: Yes, didn't you know? You've told me so many times I've lost count
Yuki.- This is not a joke, you are heading towards certain death
Eden: Wouldn't that be the best? I know you hate me, so you don't have to worry about my death
Shu.- Eden
Yuki.- Idiot, I'm just worrying
Eden: Why? Why should you care? Give me just one reason
Yuki.- I...
Eden: Go ahead, tell me why
Yuki.- I...
You see, you don't have a single motive, so leave me alone, you must have no reason to worry about a demon like me
Shu: Eden!
*Eden's gaze changes and her eyes change to a bright red*
Eden: Get out of here, I hate you
Shu.- Eden, stop
*Yuki runs out of the place*
*Shu hits Eden*
Shu.- Fucking idiot
*Eden's eyes return to their true color*
Eden: What did I just say?...
*Eden leaves the place and sits on the shore of a harbor*
Eden.- *Think* I'm losing control, I'm letting myself be carried away by my impulses. If you were here, what would you say to me, grandpa? I really don't know what to do, I don't want my friends to have to go through this, no one should suffer what I suffered, those guys don't have souls, they kill for pleasure, I must make them pay for everything
*Eden quickly draws his sword and aims at Amaterasu's neck*
Amaterasu.- Don't worry, boy, put that sword down
Eden: I'm sorry, I was just defending myself in case I was an enemy
Amaterasu.- That sword is...
Eden: This sword? It's the only memory I have of my grandfather
Amaterasu.- Was your grandfather's name Gen?
Eden: Huh? As you know? Do you know my grandfather?
Amaterasu.- Yes, I met your grandfather many years ago
Eden: But how? My grandfather has never told me about gods, or anything like that.
Amaterasu: I don't know, but he must have had his reasons. But tell me, what happened to Gen?
The members of Black Lights kidnapped him the same day I met Shun
Amaterasu: Who did it? His boss?
Eden: No, two of its members. However, they were very strong
Amaterasu.- Impossible
Eden: What's going on?
Amaterasu.- I don't understand how some simple subordinates could handle Gen; he should have defeated them without any problem.
Eden: Don't tell me that...
Amaterasu.- No, it wasn't you who was to blame, he's capable of defeating those people, even if he has to protect you
Eden: Why do you have so much confidence in my grandfather? Who was he really?
He was Gen Yomi, the legendary Lion of Fire
Eden.- The legendary Lion of Fire? Are we really talking about the same guy?
Amaterasu: Yes, I have no doubt, because I was the one who gave that sword to your grandfather
Eden: Really? All my life I believed that Grandpa lived quietly in Japan his last years, so I never understood how he appeared at that moment of the fight
Amaterasu.- There's a lot you don't know about your grandfather
Eden.- I need to know, please
Susanoo.- Amaterasu, it's time to go
Amaterasu: Right now? You can't wait a little longer
Susanoo.- I'm sorry, but we have to go back
Amaterasu.- I'm sorry that this happened just now, if you want to know more about your grandfather come to our region and I'll tell you everything. I assure you that I will help you get Gen back, I owe a lot to that guy
Eden.- Thank you. By the way, what's your name?
My name is Amaterasu, the goddess of the sun
Eden: Amaterasu?! I'm sorry for telling him about you
Amaterasu.- No, no, don't worry, I'm glad I had a normal conversation after so much with a human
Amaterasu.- *Think* It's definitely just like you, Gen
Eden: Will we ever see each other again?
Amaterasu: Yes, and next time we'll have your grandfather with us
Eden.- Thank you very much for everything
*Susanoo and Amaterasu disappear*
Eden.- *Think* Who are you really grandpa?
*Days go by and the sunrise is shown*
Eden.- The day has come, today we will travel to Nork and I will be a little closer and closer to both of them
Eden: I swear I'll find you, Grandpa. And I'll put an end to all those who have hurt us
