*Eden is shown on top of a mountain training with his sword*
Eden: I can't afford to lose.... I have to win at all costs
*The sun begins to rise and is shown as the eye of Eden changes color*
Eden: I'll win...
*The city is shown full of people excited for the second fight*
Village 1: It's too cold, isn't it?
Village 2: Yes, this happens from time to time, but it's always temporary
*Eden is shown in his costume seeing his new sword*
Eden: This sword is really light... If only I could match my energy to this sword... I'll have to try...
*Someone knocks on the door*
Eden: Forward
*Shu enters the locker room*
Shu: How are you doing?
Eden: Well, it could be worse, I just carry a big responsibility on my shoulders
Shu: I'm sorry you have to go through this
Eden: Don't worry, this is what I chose, if I lose today all my efforts will go to waste
Shu: yes...
Eden: But it's not bad after all, I think this is my chance to prove myself
Shu: Maybe. But please you have to win, not only will your efforts be in vain, but those of all GODS students will be in vain.
Eden: Yes, it's true...
Shu: *Think* Has it really changed since you arrived? Although there are times when it helps others, it remains the same when it comes to important events. What is the real Eden?
Shu: Well, I'll leave you alone, good luck
Eden: Shu
Shu: What's wrong?
Eden: Thank you
Shu. Why?
Eden: It's nothing in particular, I just think I have to thank you
Shu: You're welcome, I guess
*Eden bumps his fist into Shu's chest*
*Shu leaves and Eden is left alone*
Eden: Grandpa, when will I be ready? What do you hope it will achieve?
*Eden is shown frustrated*
Eden: What is my destiny? What am I?!
*Knock on the door again*
Guard: Eden Yomi, the fight is about to begin
Eden: Okay, now I'm going out... I can't disappoint you... I have to win... I have to get it...
*Eden is shown going out into the combat arena*
Eden: *Think* I had forgotten this feeling, from the inside it feels very imposing, with thousands of people screaming and watching. Yes, this feeling is amazing
Rei: *Thinks* He doesn't show anything nervous, on the contrary, he seems to be happy
Aphrodite: Shu, how do you see Eden? Do you think he can win?
Shu: I don't know, but I have a strange feeling when I see it
Aphrodite: I see
Shu: Do you know why?
Aphrodite: No, I just think he's gotten stronger since he arrived
Shu: Is that possible?
Aphrodite: To a small extent, yes. But I think he broke that small barrier of improvement, although I still can't find what lit the fuse
Odin: Welcome all, to the second match of the Tournament of God, today the battle between Eden Yomi and Rei will take place
Rei: I hope you don't disappoint me, demon
*Eden does not respond*
Rei: Did a snake bite your tongue?
*Eden is shown with his eyes closed*
Rei: *Think* It seems that my provocations are useless, what is he thinking?
Odin: Get started!
*Eden quickly opens his eyes and draws his sword*
Eden: Fire Technique: Hell blaze
*The Sword of Eden is shown engulfed in red flames*
Rei: What?!
*Eden hits Rei with his sword and sends him against the wall*
Shu: How fast
Aphrodite: *Think* Really, I hadn't felt a fear at this level a long time ago, her body is emitting a very threatening energy
*Rei spits blood and breathes heavily*
Rei: *Think* I didn't expect that, so that's what I was preparing. I'd better be careful, just react to cover my stomach, if I hadn't, I would have fallen right away
*Eden drops his sword*
Rei: What?
*Eden's hand shown with many burns*
Eden: *Think* I put too much energy into that punch, but it wasn't enough. By not concentrating my energy on the tip of the sword the fire could impact my hand, in the end I was not ready to use that blow yet
Rei: What's going on? Do you give up?
Eden: No, that's cowardly, I'd rather you finish me off fighting
Aphrodite: It was obvious that I wasn't going to master the technique right away. But even so, the progress it made is surprising
Shu: Did you already know about this?
Aphrodite: Yes...
*Flashback*
*Aphrodite is shown in the tub*
Aphrodite: What do you need, Eden?
Eden: I Need Help
Aphrodite: At this hour? What's so important?
Eden: I have to learn a new technique for battle, I can't go with what I know so far, I have to wear some az up my sleeve
Aphrodite: I'm glad to know that you want to learn new things, but there's not much time left, any technique you try to learn won't do any good, since you won't be able to learn it
Eden: Please, I need a letter that is all or nothing
Aphrodite: *sighs* Okay, it's okay. Even if you don't come to complain later if it doesn't go as, you expected
Eden: Okay
Aphrodite: I don't know much about darkness techniques. So, I'll tell you about a fire technique that an old friend taught me
Eden: Yes
Aphrodite: This technique is very similar to the energy layer we use to cover our bodies and others that we want, only that it consists of focusing your element on the weapon you have. First, you have to master the extent of it, as you need to know how to transfer your elemental energy to your weapon. Once you have achieved that, you will have to transfer as much energy as possible in an instant, the more energy you are able to concentrate, the more effective it will be, but also the more dangerous, because if you do not concentrate your fire energy perfectly the consequences can even reach death. So, I wouldn't recommend it to you
Eden: I have no choice, if I want to win, I have to sacrifice everything
Aphrodite: I see you very determined
Eden: It is not the path I chose, but it is the one I have had to live. So, I plan to give it my all
Aphrodite: *Think* Really, it seems a lot to Gen. That look doesn't fool anyone, you're a beast out of control
*Aphrodite comes out of the tub*
Aphrodite: I'll help you, give me a moment
*Aphrodite leaves without any clothes*
*Eden is shown blushing*
*Back to the present*
Shu: Perverted
Aphrodite: Huh?
Shu: I think the latter was superfluous
Aphrodite: Are you jealous that Eden has seen me and you haven't?
Shu: Perverted Old Woman
Rei: *Think* His attack left me very hurt, but he's done worse, it's my time
*Rei begins to launch multiple attacks while Eden dodges them*
*Eden approaches Rei at high speed and they begin a melee battle*
*Eden kicks Rei in the head, but he manages to grab his leg a moment before*
Emi: Shit
*Rei throws Eden to the ground with great force*
Rei: Come on, I'm getting bored
*Rei kicks and sends Eden against the wall*
*Eden spits blood*
Rei: Come on, come on, is that all demon?
Rei: Wood technique: Spikes
*Rei throws his quills and nails Eden's hands against the wall*
*Eden screams from pain*
Rei: What a disappointment, you had started the battles very well, however, it seems to have been luck
*Rei begins to kick Eden in the face*
*Eden begins to bleed from his hands and nose*
Rei: Come on, give up once and for all demon
*Rei's kicks towards him go on and on without stop*
*The audience is shown to be stunned by the moment*
Eden: *Think* Damn, this is bad, this is losing too much blood, if I continue like this, I will lose consciousness, I have to keep fighting...
*Eden appears in front of his demon*
Demon: *Smiles* Looks like you need a little bit of my power
Eden: You're wrong, I'll just end this
Demon: Come on, don't fool yourself, without my power you are nobody, you are just another human
*A hand emerges from the wall*
Demon: Come on, you know that without my power you won't make it, take my hand
*Eden begins to approach the hand of the devil*
*The demon begins to laugh*
Shu: Get up!
*The place cracks and Eden watching as they beat him*
Eden: Shu...
Demon: Come on, what are you waiting for? Take my hand once and for all and let's finish this and then we'll rescue your grandfather
Eden: I'm sorry, but this is my fight
Demon: Stop
*Eden approaches the rift and the place breaks completely*
Demon: You know it perfectly, without me you won't be able to do it, we are destined
*Eden is shown seeing reality*
Shu: Come on Eden, you can, don't give up
Eden: *Think* Damn, I can't rest a moment
*Eden rips his hand off the wall and grabs Rei's leg*
Rei: What?!
Eden: I'm tired of this
*Eden breaks Rei's leg*
*Rei screams in pain*
Aphrodite: Eden...
*Eden removes his other hand from the wall and in turn pulls out the tines*
*Eden's hand with gigantic holes shown*
Eden: Wow, it looks like you've hurt me a lot, I think the least I can do is return the favor, don't you think?
*A blank look is shown in Eden's eyes*
Rei: No! No! Stop!
*Rei begins to crawl to flee Eden*
Shu: Aphrodite, don't you think we should stop it? What if what happened the other time happens?
Aphrodite: I don't perceive any dark energy like that of that day. I'm sorry to break it to you, but this is Eden, not a demon
Shu: Impossible...
*Eden slowly walks towards Rei leaving blood marks in his wake*
*Shun is shown with a big smile as he watches the combat in Eden, while the rest of the students are shocked and terrified*
Eden: I'm tired of following you, you'd better stop
*Eden begins to draw his sword*
Rei: Please stop, please spare my life, please!
Eden: Forgive you? No, I'm not good at that
*Rei begins to see her life pass through her eyes*
Rei: *Think* Am I... to die?
*Flashback*
*Rei's costume is shown a few moments before*
Nai: You look too calm to have to fight now
Rei: There's nothing to worry about, after all he's only a bronze rank, it's nothing special, I'm assured of victory
*Nai grabs Rei's shirt*
Nai: What's not to worry about? What is an easy win? Who do you think you can talk like that? You too are a simple bronze rank, you are not so different from him
Rei: Why do you look so worried? You were the one who said Eden wasn't worth it the day it came, it couldn't have changed that much in a couple of days. Besides, you're one of the big ten, your level is unmatched by the prodigy, so if I lose, you'll tear it to pieces
*Nai lets go of Rei*
Nai: Yes... you are right... I don't know what worries me so much... it is impossible that he has become so strong, besides I am very strong, I am invincible... Anyway, you better win, otherwise I'll kill you
*Nai leaves the locker room and Rei is shown shocked*
Rei: Nai... What has put you like this? Are you really not lying to yourself? What did you see in Eden Yomi?
Rei: *Think* It doesn't matter, I just have to win,
*Back to the present*
*Eden is shown attacking Rei in slow motion*
Rei: *Think* So this is what you saw Nai? A living demon....
Shu: Eden, stop!
*The different feelings of each one in the face of the situation are shown*
Rei: I give up!
*The Sword of Eden hits the ground without touching Rei*
Eden: You have already heard it; the victory is mine
*Eden slowly leaves the place while everyone remains silent*
*Eden points to Shu and smiles again, showing his eyes alive*
Shu: *Think* What is the real Eden?
